The ratification was unani- ^ mous. ? The telegraphers' strike which has < been in full blast for over a weel^, will e probably come to an end within 24 hours, as conferences have been arranged between the union officials and Western Union and Postal man-' tigers. h President Wilson, who is in Bel- a t;it;m, will probably start home early a next week, after the signing or the refusal to sign the peace treaty by 11 Gcimany. The President announces v that, if necessary, he will stump the country for the League of Nations. * Compo has sailed from Savannah to ^ Havre, France today,* with an all-cot- ( ton cargo, consisting of 20,665 bales. ^ While this is not the largest cargo in ' point of size, itis one of the largest 1 of the season. The actual value of x ! the cotton is somewhere near $6,500, *' j 000 and the gross value, including 1 cnargcs anu expenses, would De more * than $4,000,000. IRA JUST HAD TO " CALL THE BLUFF y r j The sewing-machine agent parked i his John Henry and wiping the dust ! from his moist brow, wended his way ^ to the soft drink department of the j Chesterfield l>Tug Company. He ^ quaffed a few flowing flagons of coca-cola, kicked about the service | and got on Ira Redfearn's nerves , generally. He called for several innocuous! concoctions Ira had never heard of. j so that he was obliged to say:"Just out." Finally, in a tone that bespoke disgust with about everything in this neighborhood, the agent remarked: ' "I'd give forty dollars for a quart of good whiskey." "Here you are," answered Ira, as he placed a brand new quart of Four Roses before the astonihsed gaze of the stranger in our midst, "Forty dollars please." t "Where'd you get it?" asked the man, flnbbergestedly. ( "What do you care?" countered J Ira. "You asked for whiskey and there you are. Gimme the forty." "Now hold on, ain't forty dollars a pretty big price for a quart of liquor?" stalled the machine drummer. s "You made the price," was Ira's come-back, "put up or shut up." ? So, the man finished his stomach r wash and jjrinnintf sheepishly, made tracks for the John Henry. Then j| Ira explained that he just had to ^ call that fellow's bluff, but he was ftlad the fellow did'nt call his, as j, he wouldnt have let ^o that last quart t| of snake-bite medicine for a hundred, a even if he'd had the ri^ht to sell it. e 1 HERBERT CAMPBELL IN > THE TOILS AND UNDER BOND l< Herbert Campbell, colored, is serving out a 150-day sentence on the j chain ^an^, after conviction in Map: ' istrate Teal's court for carrying a ^ concealed weapon. When Herbert's SO days are up he will be placed under bond to ap- ( pear in the criminal court on a charge of assault with intent to kill. ^ Herbert Campbell has been livinp with his wife as tenant on the place of Mr. Clarence Kintf, about one ' v. mile from town on the Scotch road. ^ Last Saturday and Sunday Campbell's wife was sick and in need of medical ^ attention and when Mr. Kin^ learned I " the situation and that she was beinpl . neglected by her husband, Mr. King] called a physician and late Saturday I night, when Campbell returned to his home, Mr. King told him what he had done, whereupon Campbell became S( abusive. To this Mr. King responded in the good old-fashioned way with a j, big stick. Mr. King alleges that the ^ negro then ran a few steps and, turning, drew a revolver and began firing at him. ^ The negro was arrested Monday by ^ Deputy J. T. Grant. Campbell's reputation is none too good, as he y frequently has been in trouble before. j,. V CHESTERFIELD, ROUTE 4 | The cover crops in this section for f ihe past few weeks have been rapidly c, .hinned out. (The General Greene) jr Mr. J. N.

ROAD BONDS AT PREMIUM The $10,000 issue of bonds subcribed by Mt. Croghan Township, a or road improvement, huve been sold c nd at a premium. J. II. Hillman & c Company, of Atlanta, being the high- n 3t bidders, took the issue. h The State Highway Commission has d pproved that part of the .'10-foot 1 lighwuy from Chesterfield to Lancas- j er which extends through Mt. Crogian Township and the surveyors will ( rrive in a few days to make the final naps, which must be submitted to the j. National Department of Good Roads it Washington, for approval, after ^ vhich that body will place dollar for lollar with Mt. Croghan in defraying ^ he expense of the undertaking. This is the real beginning of th< ;ood roads movement which Mt j. 'roghan inaugurated in this vicinity ^ >y voting to issue $40,000 worth of .onds for that purpose. As the No- j ional Department of Good Roads .... ,. w v 111 give a correr.pomling amount for ill improvements approved by that ^ ?ody, Mt. Croghan will have $80,000 it her disposal. Mt.
