asked surprised. Her mother seemed
to say such queer things lately.

Truly this man prayed not only with
a part of his body, but with his whole
body. The little zibelines partook of
the prayer in their manner. May the
Lord of men and beasts have enjoyed
it!
We were told that this distinguished
visitor was very rich man who show
cred deeds of kindness about him.
Thanks to the generosity of such
men, poor unfortunate invalids can
come to Carlsbad to take the waters.
Our man, who is a great traveller,
never leaves without his own rabbi
When he goes to place where there
are few orthodox Jews, he always
takes with him dozen companions,
for Moses said that there must be at
least ten to offer prayer. Under these
conditions | am not surprised that
Adam and Eve turned out SO badly.
AS we left, the notables of the as
sembly came to thank us for the hon.
or we had bestowed upon them by
attending their sacred ceremony. We
passed through a hall in the rear
where we found the women, who, in
spite of the open doors, could neither
hear nor see what had been going
on. The congregation left with us,
carrying the prayer -mantles folded on
the shoulder like a travelling cloak;
for to take them in their hands would
have been equivalent to work, which
is forbidden on the Sabbath. With
all it's beauty this is the very phari-
saism which had been so odious to
Jesus.
The day before we had met many
a Jew with his handkerchief knotted
about his waist. That means: eve

to shake ones head like duck, than
to do any other movements in honor
of God? I do not think so. Chris

stock. Yesterday I saw in the woods
some women who were kissing the lips
and feet of big plaster Christ be-
smeared with horrible colors. 1t would
be difficult, I think, to consider this

she couldn't be the relator of this

f A large limousine drove up to the
door Of the Walkers palatial home
on the boulevard. The door of the
car opened and Mrs. Walker descend

words were spoken to the chauffeur
and she climbed the terrace. that led
to the house.
Her ring was Immediately answered
by the "man in short pants" How
ever, that much discussed gentleman
was completely ignored by Mrs.
Walker as she passed him on her
way to the library. Seated on the
divan in front of the fireplace, still
wearing her hat and cape, her eyes
wandered over the room, taking in
it's handsome details.

slowly aloud. IA limousine, buttle

went on aloud. 'sI'll fix that cook yet

Rosalind found her mother in the
same position when she entered the
library some half hour later.
"Why, mamma" she cried alarmed
at Mrs. Walkers expression. "Aren't
you feeling well?' She sat down be-
side her mother on the divan.
eI feel fine, Rosie" replied her
mother with little choke in her
voice.
"But something is wrong, mamma" -
Rosie continued anxiously. She was
afraid that her mother might not
have recovered from the effect that
the news she conveyed to her the day
before had left.
4 eNothing is wrong, Rosalind," she
answered removing her hat and cape.
{ "Where have you been, mamma ?"
Rosie asked a bit sternly. She re-
membered two years ago her mother
had visited their old home in the
ghetto and it had produced the same
effect on her then. Mr.. Walker had
forbidden to her the privilege of go
ing again and she had made him a
promise to make no more visits.
"Don't tell your papa, but I got
so lonesome for the old neighborhood
that I just had to 60"
"Oh, mamma, why did you go
again ?"
"It was so nice to see Mrs. Silver
man and the store and dirty little
Isadore," Mrs. Walker went on not
needing her daughters query. "Mrs.
Silverman let me help her with her
supper and I washed dishes too"

astounded. Would her mother never

NOT MUCH DEMAND
FOR WEEvIL DEATH
TERRELL FARMERS BOUGHT
VERY LITTLE CALCIUM AR
SENATE FROM STATE.

The indications are that very little
calcium arsenate will be used in Ter
rell county as a means of fighting the
boil weevil.
A surprisingly small number Of farm
ers of the county met the train sent
by the state board of entomology for
the distribution OF calcium arsenate,
which arrived in Dawson early We'd
nesday morning over the Central OF
Georgia railroad and remained here all
day. In charge of the train were L.
M. Harmon and W. w. Drake. The
calcium arsenate was offered at nine
cents a pound, which was said to be
cost. Even at that low price it seemed
to go begging, as not more than eight
farmers bought the weevil poison and
that in small quantities, the total
amount distributed in the county be-
ing something less than 1000 pounds.
Some OF the planters buying the
poison were Worthy and Mathis, NJ.

NORTHERN VET TELLS
OF DAVIS CAPTURE
MAN WHO WAS PRESENT SAYS
PRESIDENT OF CONFEDER-
ACY NOT IN FEMALE GARB.

SPENCER, O.-F'ifty- years
ago today Jefferson Davis, president
of the Confederate states, was taken
prisoner by the Fourth Michigan cav
airy in an early morning surprise near
Irwinville, Ga.
Today Thomas Miles Hunter, 70
years old, veteran OF seventy-three
civil war engagements, sat in an old
arm chair on the front porch of his
country home two miles from here
and recounted "reminiscences of that
tragedy period. He says he is one
of the two survivors of the Fourth
Michigan present at the capture.
The president of the Confederacy
was not attired in feminine apparel
when the Michigan troopers surround
ed his little encampment, asserts Vet
.eran Hunter, historical statements to
the contrary notwithstanding.
"He wore a gentleman's morning
robe over his regular clothes" said
the old soldier. "On his head was an
old striped bonnet He did not have
on any woman's belongings. There
wasn't even any strings on his bon
net He was man sure enough"
The Michigan troopers, 41o of
them, with ten officers, were prepar-
ing for rest after three days and nights
of marching from Macon, Veteran
Hunter said, when they espied a little
camp secluded amidst a cluster OF
saplings. An advance guard was sent
on, a few shots were fired the entire
regiment swooped down, and the camp
was taken.
Jefferson Davis, his wife and four
children, John H. Regain, his postmas-
ter general, a staff of aides, servants
and some others were found
The camp was guarded closely that
night and once the Confederate presi-
dent left his tent and attempted to
walk away, but was betrayed by his
spurs as he tripped over log, Hun
er said.
1--WE took him to Macon two days
later" Hunter said "Then twenty-five
men escorted him to Washington and
surrendered him to Major General
Miles"
Mr.. Hunter said the men of his
regiment were given $500 bonus for
the capture, it being awarded in 1868
and finally paid nineteen years later.

SCHOOL WILL CLOSE
A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
MUCH PROGRESS HAS BEEN
MADE. GRADUATING EXER-
CISES NEXT WEEK.

One of the most successful years in
the history Of the Dawson public
schools will come to formal close on
Tuesday evening, June 9th, at 8;15
O'Clock. This occasion will be the

the result of forward step made by
the school this year under Superin-
tendent H. 0. Read in being placed
on the accredited list of the associa-
ton of colleges and secondary schools
of the southern states. This recogni-
ton on the part of the colleges of the
genuine worth of the local school

those who have made this recognition
possible.

structive movements have been-made,
including an increase in the high
school library and the installation OF
individual record cards for each high
school pupil, which simplifes and as
sures a permanent record of each pu-
pills entire high school record.

A HUGE SAVING BY
CUT IN FREIGHT RATES
PRESIDENT HARDING SAYS IT
MUST BE HANDED DOWN
TO THE CONSUMER.
REDUCED FOUR MILLION

Expected to Have an Immediate Slim
ulating Effect on Business. No Cut
In Passenger Fares Is Probable ANY
Time in Near Future.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ma
TONS cost of living bill probably will
be reduced nearly $1,000,0OOO0O a
year, as the result of the 10 per cent
reduction in freight rates ordered by
the interstate commerce commission,
government statistical experts said to-
day.
This means a saving of $40 a year
for every person in the country.
The reduction will cut the nations
freight bill from $300,000,000 to $780,
100000 a year, according to official fig
ures.
The department of justice, it was
learned today, has orders from Pres
ident Harding to see that the rate
cut is passed down" to the consumer,
just as rate increases during the war
were quickly passed on"
Effective July 1st.
The rate reduction is to become eff
fective on or before July lst, and ad-
ministration officials look for its re
Election in cost of living figures shortly
thereafter.
Administration leaders look for the
rate cut order to have an immediate
stimulating effect on business. As the
commission pointed out, many bust
ness operations have been held back
due to the belief that a rate reduction
was near.
Meanwhile, members of the COM
mission are watching for the railroad
executives answer to the cut. Some
believe the reduction may be fought
in the courts on the grounds that the
commission has cut the earnings of
the roads below the average congress
desired they should receive
The decision on freight rates clearly
indicated a strong sentiment among
some of the commissioners for pass
age fare reduction, but the majority
apparently still is against such a cut
The number of railroad passengers de
creased from 102,000,000 in June, 1920,
to 81,27S,000 in January, 1922, and it
was admitted that the high passenger
fares were partly responsible.

it is time for them to go to bed. The
oldest of the brood is Is and the
Youngest is two months. The father
is employed in an iron mine and says
he has no trouble in supporting the
family. with the help the older ones
give.
In order that the mother may know
that each has been fed at any meal
she worked out a system of calling
each child's name as she cuts bread,
meat, dishes vegetables, or dessert, or
pours the coffee Each child passes by
in line and gets his or her food on the
plate and then passes on. Every one
of the older children has household
tasks to perform, and the family keeps
several cows and raises some garden
truck

bad when the wearers range from Is

ones outgrow their clothes or wear
out parts of them the garment is re-
modelled and made to fit younger
