None of That!' He Tells
Those Who Mister
Him
BY ALFRED SEAL

JACKSONBURG, Ohio, July Is
Jacksonburg is passing away. It's two
hotels are gone. It's thriving pork in
dustry has departed. It's population
has dwindled to so, or thereabouts.
The tragedy of its passing is like
that of thousand other American
villages. It's children have gone away
to the cities to "see life"; to make
money; to work in factories and in
offices; to practice medicine and law;
to teach, and to marry.
But the Nother day it's favorite son,
Jimmy Cox, came back as a candi-
date for president of the United
States.
HE'S STILL jim
IN THE OLD HOME
And he stopped at the house of
Agnes Margerum (now Breitenbech-
er) with whom he went to school and
who lives just across the road from
the house in which he was born.
"Call again, Mr.. Cox" said Agnes
Margerum.
''None of that, Agnes" said jim
Cox, raising a reproving hand. 81
am not Mr.. Cox here"
"Jim," she answered softly and
though her eyes were a bit filmed
with tears they could see as plainly
as anything down the years when she
and Jimmy were the leading actors
in "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" that
was given for the benefit of the
schools, Jimmy playing the part of
"Mr. Person." the one-legged vete-
ran, while she was "Mrs. Person"
Jacksonburg today is little clus-
ter of houses on a road, six miles
from Middletown and at the far end
stands the house in which Cox was
born. And Alf Thomas, Cox's cousin,
points out the very room on the first
floor front where the candidate for
president first raised his voice, crying
shrilly.
Alf Thomas works on Cox's farm
and his shoes are caked with soil.
And so, before he approaches the
room he takes off his shoes and en-
ters in his stocking feet, lest he
scratch the polished hardwood floors
with which Cox has replaced the old
rough timbers.
"THE VERY ROOM
HE WAS BORN I'M
"This is the very room," says Alf

CEMENT SHORT;
PAVING STOPS
Work on East College
Street Temporarily
Suspended

With a shortage of cement hold
ing up work on East College street
and the pavement within hundred
feet of the end of the block, city
authorities began today the prellm-
mary work on East Church street
which is the next paving project to
be undertaken. The shortage Of ce-
ment on the College street project
was not anticipated, and is due to
weather conditions having affected a
quantity of this material which was
disposed of several days ago in the
belief that another shipment would
arrive before the stock on hano
could be used up.
Chris Sherlock is engaged now In
the work of locating the pavement
lines on the East Church street pro-
iect. and these are to be located SO
as to provide for the elimination OF
the green lawn that now adorns the
street, although it is still hoped this
can be saved. In this connection, it
is pointed out that Miss Annie Ans
lev, one of the few objecting prop
erty owners, has just advised Chair,
man Allison, of the street committee
that she is heartily in favor of paw
ing, and asking that an effort be
made to save the lawn.
1t is expected that it will be three
weeks before the actual work of re-
grading will begin on this project
| due to the fact that the East College
street project must be finished alto
gether before this can be under
taken.

Hatton Assessment
Before Assessors

The assessment of H. D. Hatton
was again before the board of county
tax assessors today This property
contains the bauxite mine operated
by the Republic Mining Co., near
Andersonville, and was returned for
taxation at $4,000. The assessors
sought to raise this figure to $75,-
600 against which Hatton protested.
The taxable value of the property
was fixed last year by arbitrators at
$4,000 after it had been raised from
$500 to 100000 by the board of
assessors. The return of the Republic
Mining Co., was not considered by the
board in connection with fixing the
taxable value of Hatton's holdings.

COX WANTS TO BE PLAIN
JIM TO OLD TIME PALS

reverently. "The very room he was
born in"
It's like shrine to Alf; the scene
of great miracle. He is awed by the
wonder of this: That the little boy
he husked corn with on this very
farm some 40 years ago should have
come up from the soil to contest for
the rulership of the republic.
He looks across the broad acres and
beyond the years to the place and
the time he and Jimmy-a barefoot
child scarcely past 12-drudged to-
gether in the field under the hot
summers sun.
1t was work, work, work, from
morning to night and never COM
plant from the boy, he says. Up at
daybreak and at work till dusk. That
was the endless program for Jimmy
Cox and Alf Thomas with no vaca-
tions.
And on Sunday mornings to church
to dust the pews and sweep out and
in the winter time, to start the fire,
for Jimmy Cox was janitor of the
United Brethren Congregation.
please read this carefully, young
fellow-you who complain when your
mother calls you to run an errand
that will interfere with your ball
game.)
GOES IN STOCKING
FEET TO JIM'S ROOM
Then Alf Thomas, still in his stock
ing feet, leads the way to the second
floor to the room that was Jimmy's
bedroom. But it's much changed now
and, indeed, the whole house is
changed except the great fireplace in
the room that was the kitchen where
Jimmy Cox popped corn and except
for the mantel in the room that he
was born in.
He has spent much to improve the
house, but these cherished things
have remained untouched. With an
tiuue furniture (the bedsteads are
great four-posted affairs) and with
antique pictures and antique china
ware and kettle and andirons, he has
kept there the spirit and the style of
the time in which his grandfather,
Gilbert Cox, built the house.
Gilbert Cox died in 1868 and sleeps
in the ancient churchyard back of
the United Brethren's house and the
quaint epitaph on his tombstone
says of him:
Respected when living, lamented
when dead;
His sanctified spirit to Jesus has
fled"
And ALI Thomas points ou the
painted picture of Gilbert Cox that

AMERICUS FINDS
new SLAB STAR
Smith Hurls Good Game
at Playground Against
Souther

A cracking good game of ball UNI
til the last half of the ninth in
ming, when the players indulged a
bit in "horse play for fun, was stag
ed at the playground yesterday after
noon before good Thursday after
noon crowd, in which the ''fannies'
were nearly as prominent in matter
of numbers as the fans. Owing to
a misunderstanding, due to reports
published in the State papers, the
Montezuma team which was to have
come here did not make the trip
and the Souther Field team, which
has been playing regularly for sew
eral weeks, was substituted. The
Souther Field team won by a score
of 81, but they did not have a
walk-away.
The game was the occasion of the
appearance in an Americus uniform
of Smith, a semi-pro pitcher from
the Savannah city league, who, as a
Seaboard employe, has recently been
transferred to Americus. He proved
a pitcher of much ability, and struck
out a total of IL men, among them
the heaviest sluggers of the Souther
Field team.
The game was fairly speedy, and
filled with numerous flashy plays. In
the second inning Mcmillan, pitching
for Souther, picked up one-handed a
hot grounder hit by Dunn and tossed
the runner out In the third inning
Chappell lined to O'Brien, Souther's
fast second baseman, who doubled
Jennings off first. In the next in
ming O'Brien repeated the feat
dragging down Rylander's hard drive
for a put-out and doubling Dunn off
first base. Souther scored two of
their runs in the first inning with a
walk for the first man up, followed
by hit and an error. The Irwin
cibles scored in the eighth, Dunn.
who had reached third, coming in on
a passed ball pitched by Parsons.
Smith hurled the entire game for
the Invincibles, while Mcmillan
pitched seven innings for Souther,
with Parsons back-stopping, and in
the eighth they reversed positions.
Cordele is playing Americus at the
playground this afternoon.
