Ormeson,

Here is a group of family names
founded on a given name which now
Is extinct This, however, is nothing
unusual. Our directories today con-
tain a very heavy percentage of fam
lily names which would be just as plain
to us at Jackson, Richardson and Da-
wilson, had the given names of which
they are composed remained as pop
ular with succeeding generations as
have the names of John, Richard and
David
Yet at one time the name of "Orm
or "Orme" was extremely popular
among the northern Teutonic races,
including the Anglo SaXons and Danes
fwho also have left the impress of
their nomenclature in both the Ian
cuage of England and Scotland) and
the NormanS. The last named, 1t
must be remembered, We're Teutonlc
race, though they had adopted the
French tongue. Ut would be more
correct. perhaps, to say that they had
themselves formed a variation of the
French tongueD But their nomen-
clature remained predominantly leu
tonic. History shows that in all cases
where one race adopts the language
of another, it retains, however, very
much of its original language in it's
names.
So it will be seen that there are
several explanations of the existence
in England of this given name
Ormes IS but a shortening of Orme-
son. OrmeSby and OrmSkirk were
place names compounded of the given
name plus the words for village" and
church" From place names they be
came surnames.

the celebration of Labor Day.
Instead of the usual Labor day pa
rade the members of organized labor
have invited James J. Davis, Secre-

SLATON is OPPOSED
TO BIG BOND ISSUES
SAYS BUSINESS SHOULD BE
UNHAMPERED AND TAXPAY-
ERS EMBARRASSED.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Former Governor
John M. Slaton, who spoke recently
before the COOPERATIVE Club OF At
lanta, declared that he was opposed
to the issuance of bonds for any pur-
pose.
Our educational friends are max
ing a great mistake in advocating
them," declared the former governor.
The present situation is a lesson as
to the trade they make. Seventy
millions OF bonds are to be issued for
highways, disregarding the history OF
Arkansas in its confscation on this
account, and ten million for education
seven to one. People will be burs
dened with taxes to pay enormous
profits to road builders and sellers OF
road materials, and multiplied Office
holders with high-priced autos and
large salaries, and to carry the plan
through and sugar-coat the pill the
people will be taught to sign the bonds
by first offering them for education
in the sum of ten million dollars. This
lis not much OF trade to make as be-
tween under privileged children and
privileged contractors.
As to education, Governor Slaton
said: Il believe that strong consti-
tuition, teaching people TO be self-reli-
ant and to pay their debts as they GO;
to leave business unhampered and tax
PAYERS embarrassed with unbearable
loads is just as essential to the educa-
ton of a people as school rooms. Elk
cepting one state, Georgia gives more
from her treasury now to education
than any state 4in the Hnion-4
The former governor stated en-
phatically that income taxation is not
to be considered" He said ii, as well
as classification tax, means eternal
agitation"
mo business can be secure" he as
serted, if such legislation were passed
They invite heavy levies and large
exemptions. They teach that the man
who has accumulated by labor must
be mulcted for his sacrifice"

$13,48s, 321 CENTRAL'S
PAYROLL LAST YEAR
NEARLY HALF OF ROADS IN
COME is PAID TO EMPLOYEES.
AVERGE WAGE is $1,409.

Payrolls have aptly been termed the
~life-blood OF commerce" The payroll
of the Central Railway Company last
year was Sl3,48o,32l. That is one and
quarter million dollars every month
more than $4,000 per day. OF all
the money received by the Central OF
Georgia last year 1917 per cent went to
payrolls. The average annual wage OF
the employees was $l,40.
Practically all employees OF the
company live in Georgia and Ala
bama. Certainly it means much to the
prosperity OF these two states to have
more than $500 wage earners with an
average compensation of $ll7 per
month. Census estimates show 4.3
persons as constituting the average
family. On this basis, therefore, more
than 10000 people in Alabama and
Georgia look TO the Central of Georgia
for a living.
The railroad payroll is disbursed
twice month and it goes immediate
" into circulation. Hundreds of COM
munities benefit by the Central Of
Georgia payroll. The grocer, the
butcher, the clothier, the milliner, the
furniture store, the doctor, the den
fist, indeed every business and PROBES

THE DEFENSE FORCES IN
SCOPES TRIAL SPENT SIS, 900
Greatest Expenditures for Misdemea-
nor Trial Ever Known.

A misdemeanor case, carrying as
penalty to the guilty offender fine
of 500 and costs Of the trial, at Day
ton, Tenn, brought an expenditure to
the defenders of John t. Scopes of
approximately $4,000
The actual court costs are estimat-
ed at well over $500, or more than
treble the fine assessed by the court.
By far the greatest expense of the
trial, however, was the cost of
bringing expert witnesses, who were
not allowed TO testify, from different
parts OF the country, defraying their
railroad fare, their hotel bills and
maintaining home for them in Day
ton after their arrival there, Members
OF the defense counsel estimate that
the cost will approximate between
$4,000 and S25,000
Attorneys on both sides of the case,
it has been announced, bore their own
expenses and served without fees.

MANY SALES OF BOTH FARM

More sales OF city and country prop

to A. D. Daniel, passenger traffic man
ager of the A. B. and A railway, fol

Property values are being enhanced
by the demand that is beginning to
manifest itself, he said.
Unusual development may be ex-
pected in the near future as the result
OF a large and growing demand for
south Georgia land" said Mr. Daniel
Opening OF the tobacco markets this
week further centered attention in
south Georgia. Scores of inquiries are
being received daily at the offices OF
the chambers OF commerce and by To-
cal real estate men in various towns
and communities.
Mr.. Daniel expressed the hope
which is shared by many business
men of this section, that the present
demand will not develop into spec
ulative land boom.
Such a boom would be most I'M
fortunate and would prove a hindrance
to the development that is just ahead
OF that section at the present time,
he declared.
South Georgia would realize q
greater and more lasting benefit by
having its lands sold to farmers who
would develop them than could posi-
bly, be gained by disposing of them to
town-site developers.

VENGEANCE QUEST OF
TEXAS RANCHER ENDS
MAN CHEATED OUT OF 5000
CAN HANG UP GUN AND
HANDCUFFS NOW.

Frank Norfeet Texas rancher, may
take off his pistol, hang up his hand
cuffs and return to the peaceful job
of roping steers. Norfeet's debt OF
vengeance, which cost him six years
of his life, $4,000 and broken jaw
has been paid.
Norfleet's last man, W. B. Spencer,
member of a gang of swindlers who
defrauded him of his life savings, is in
prison serving a four-year sentence.
Spencer was the SEVENTEEN con
man to be captured by Norfleet, the
Texas rancher, who does his own de-
tective work. He also was the fifth
and last member of the original gang
which swindled Norfleet in Dallas in
1919.
After Norheet had been swindled
out of $45,000 he vowed to have re-
venge. He started out after the swim
dlers. He carried pistol and hand
cuffs, and his trail led through the

INSECTS RELISHED BY
MANY RACES OF PEOPLE

In times past many insects were
eaten and relished by races OF peo-
pie. Even today in some parts Of
Asia and elsewhere tribes make
them part of their diet, In the Bible
there are several instances OF in
sects being used as food. Moses
tells of the Jews eating four kinds
of crickets, and John the Baptist
lived on locusts and wild honey.
The ancient Greeks ate locusts, and
today many of the people OF Africa
and Arabia regard them as deli
cacv. In northern Africa the ma
tives collect huge numbers of grass
hoppers and eat them raw, boiled,
or fried. Those collected and not
consumed at once are dried in the
sun and stored for future use. 1t is
said that the ancient Romans used
to eat the larvae of beetles. Moths
are eaten by the aborigines of Aus
tralia, and certain tribes in Mexico
make bread from the eggs of water
bugs. In Central America honey
bugs are a popular sweetmeat.

wheat and hogs.
