The telegraphers' strike which has <

President Wilson, who is in Bel- a

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

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.

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. Croghan deserves to be con- ^
cratulated, not only for the progrcsiive
public spirit shown, but for her
rood luck in not having her progress
docked by any reactionary nmvenent.
