REAL MATHEUSALETHs7
IN PUTNAM COUNTY
Century Mark Not Even the Age
Limit-One Dies at the Ripe
Old Age of III Years.

They grow Mathusalehs up in Put
nam county Just like cabbages and
peas, if one believes the word of Bill
Reed, colored youth of eighty, who
called the Fulton coroner's office
Thursday to report on the death of
ms big brother, Louis McNatt, who
died at the age of Ill.
The discrepancy in the names of
the brothers is caused by the fact that
both were born in slavery DAYS and
belonged to different families. Bill
took an oath before the coroner that
Louis was grown and had two chill
dren when he himself was born. and
could remember presidents as far
back as Madison.
Until three years ago, when he
reached the age of 1O8. Louis was
hale and hearty, said Bill, doing a
hard days work as wood-cutter in
Putnam county. He came to Allan.
ia, where he died Wednesday night
at 354 Fort street.
Bill told the coroner that Louis
death will not deprive Putnam county
of its centenarians as there are two
colored women living there who-Bil
again took the oath-are aged IL
| and ia, respectively.

SENATOR SMITH MADE
fight FOR PAPERS
CLAIMING MAGAZINES WE'RE
CAUSING LOSS, IF THERE
WAS A LOSS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Strong ar
guments were made against increas
ing postage rates on newspapers by
senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in
the senate.
Inc postofice department on the
recommendation of Postmaster Gen
eraI Burleson, proposes to make the
newspaper pay, inside of two wears,
cent. ''N''N ~ INV
Senator Smith vigorously opposed
Inns tnls' saying 1t was the magazines
:eiat caused loss to the government,
II dndeed, there was any loss.
senator Shields presented a bill of
particulars from the managing editor
OF a Memphis newspaper. The state
lheht detailed that the Memphis pa
per pays the government $500 a
week Tor mail transportation. and
mat to increase the rate would he
rulnous. Indeed, it was said. if the
measure was passed, many publishers
would come to Washington and ask
mat receivers be appointed for their
papers.
Add one cent per pound to the
rate, and you will find that instead
OF the Memphis paper paying S37, 900
annually, as it now does it will
pay $4,000 which would be one
third of its profit" commented Sena-
tor Smith.
Senators Pomerene, Bryan, Varda-
man and Townsend spoke for the
change. Senator Stone said that he
would favor proposition to separate
the magazines from the newspapers
II a change in the rate was made.
The newspapers are not merely
commercial propositions, but they are
largely educational, indeed practical
" public utilities" said Senator
Shields. "The postofice department
IS not conducted for profit, but for
the people of the United States. If
a change is made, the papers must
increase their rates, and thus in the
end the people will be taxed for their
newspapers"

DOLES MAN SENDS NEARLY
FIFTY MILES FOR HOUNDS
To Recover Dollar and Seventy.Five
Cents-Culprits Located.

After unsuccessfully calling the
officials of Sumter, Lee, Turner, Tiff
and Crisp counties for dogs to trace
the tracks of the thief or thieves
who had broken in his store Friday
night, Mr.. Pinson of Doles, a Worth
county town about forty five miles
south of here, called Sheriff Turner
and asked him to get his dogs and
come at once, without stating the
purpose.
Mr.. Turner hurried to Worth
county with his dogs and on arriving
at Doles put his dog on the trail and
in a short while located the culprits,
but made no arrests as he had no
authority.
Upon his return an investigation
was made and much to the surprise
of all, the total loss was about one
dollar and seveney-fve cents in
small change. Had the investigation
been made sooner, the six telephone
calls and fifty mile ride would have
hardly resulted.

ATLANTA, Ga.-United States
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia has
gone back to the habits of childhood
and is knocking rabbit tobacco be-

The senator declares that the next
time he has occasion to make an ex-
tended tour he will take along large
bag full Of the "life everlasting" and
use it as a substitute for regular

Every Georgia boy knows what
rabbit tobacco is, and most Of them
can recall time when they got a
licking or a scolding from their dad
les for slipping out behind the barn
and smoking it in pipes or cigarettes.
