The Eulogy.
Augusta, the land of the few
and the home of the lords. With
I in thy bounds do dwell a dozen j
managers of thy affairs worthy:
of thy steel and well tried in thy ,
cause. They deserve thy praise
and thy esteem forevermore.
They own the great supply
stores of thy borders; the great
Augusta Tramway and Transfer
railroad, the immense round
bale cotton gin and thy money
> exchanges.
They are the kings and lords
of thy domain and what they do
not own, they rent and get
under their management. No
one can rent a foot of land of
• these kings of creation without
’ promising to have his cotton
ginned at the round-bale gin and
j obtain his supplies at their lord
ly dispensaries.
The princely managers have
under their control the political
affairs of the county. They bnild
splenid boulevards leading out
from thy heart in every direc
tion and they no donbt think
thou Augusta arts the Rome of
Woodruff county. Eaving in its
center a pillar of gold and having
all the different roads named as
those of ancient Rome.. The one
leading out toward the east is
| already named the via. Tiburti
na, the drive-way to Gregory’s
point will be called the Appian
way or via. Appia; the ferry-boat
will soon be a thing of the past
and Pons HQmilius will take its
place and the high-way to White
county will be called via. Aurelia;
the northern road will be named
via. Stanlia. We hardly look for
them to change the name of the
river that so quietly passes by
thy portals, but often they will
dream of the Tiber and the great
power of the Caesars, knowing
that the Caesars were not in it a
little bit compared with them.
They build not triumphant
arches, but they have the county
judge to resign and have one of
their number appointed; they
paid $5,000.00 more for the Jelks’
property at Mar tain Junction
than it was worth; they appro
priated $40,000.00 of the people’s
money withont law or president
and actually have the chancellor
to sustajn a demurrer against an
injunction to stop the ellegal
proceedings under the order.
The Chancelor even thinks (he
does not know) that the chancery
court has no juriesdiction over a
case of this kind. He said we
might have a good case at law,
but not in equity, and some
more such possibilities
Augusta, thou shouldst be
proud of thy managers. They
manage things to perfection.
They use Cotton Plant for a tool,

promise them a district court;
allow a man to draw up the bill
in such a way that Cotton Plant
will have no chancery court and
promise Cotton Plant $10,000.00
for their district court, a thing
which Cotton Plant will never
get and if she should get it, she
will not have it long enongh to get
accustomed to it.
They will first beautify thy do
main Augusta, for they verily
believe in the divine injunction,
charity begins at home. The
beauty of their charity is that it
never gets beyond thy bounds,
but they always manage to make
out side people pay for their
chairties.
They are the smoothest mana
gers we have ever seen. But we
would advise thee proud Augusta
that “truth crushed to earth will
rise again, the eternal days of
God are hers, but error wounded
writhes in pain and dies amid its
worshipers.” Where is Rome to
day? Echo repeats, where is it?
It is the common fateof all. Greed,
averice, oppresion of the plebians
and bribery caused the down fall
of Rome and thou poor Augusta
hadst better watch thy future
with vigilent eyes. The wages
of sin is death. It may seem to
you tha t thy power is supreme,
but Augustus Caesar before you
thought the same. Already, we
hear of a square bale cotton gin
about to be built south of the Iron
Mountain railroad at New Augus
ta. We already hear the survey
or’s chain laying that property
out in town lots, so that the less
aristocratic people can have a
place to live.
Augusta, why art thou soproud

anyway? It is only a matter of a
few years until the saw mills and
cooperage factories will move to
greener fields and the great
South Eastern railway will die a
natural death of starvation. May

need, has sold out and gone. Cot

shamefully abused the power and

“40 nile* An Hour.”
On last Monday morning
bright and early Mr. Tom Ar
nold was seen coming in a 40
mile an hour gate down the pub
lic road that leads to McCrory.
After several attempts of try
ing to head him off along the
road, Bob McDaniel finally suc
ceeded in catching him and hav
ng him give an account of his
extraordinary speed.
Tom just tx>W him that papa
lad just learp/ed the News man
lad returned and wanted to be
he first one'to tell him the “good
idings of great joy.” Bob held
>n to Tom and aaid “I will go
with you so you won’t kill your
fool self running so.”
We don’t know whether this is
true or not, anyway Tom came
into the News office in charge of
Bob McDaniel.
As Bob is already a father,
his sympathetic nervous system
at once reflected the feelings of
papa Arnold as if he were a mir
ror; in fact they had joy unspeak
able depriced on their counte
nances.
Of course, we could not imag
ine the cause of all these smiles,
until Bob told us that Mr. Arnold
had been dreaming and longing
for a number of years to be a
happy papa and now to think
that Santa Claus had brought
the whole afiair to pass on Christ
mas is a little more than Thomas
can very easily stand up under,
and to think that he is a father of
a 10 pound democrat of the Jeff
Davis type makes him feel like a
darkey at a “Festibul” or a little
boy with his first pair of red
topped boots.
Little Jeff Davis is doing well
and his proud mother is getting
along nicely, but we can not say
anything for certain in regard to
Tom’s condition. At pi’esent
however he is O. K. but how soon
he may go a la Nancy Hanks
down the public road again, we
can not say. We hope for the
best however and if he should
happen to become hilarious
enough to run at such break
neck speed, we hope Bob Mc
Daniel or his mules will be there
to cause a stop.
May God’s creation cast its
happiest smiles upon this happy
home.
REMARKABLE CURE OF CROUP.
A Little Boy's Life Saved.
I have a few words to say re
garding Chamberlain.s Cough
Remedy. It saved my little boy’s
life and I feel that I cannot
praise it enough. I bought a
bottle of it from A. E. Steere of
Goodwin, S. D., and when I got
home with it the poor baby could
hardly breathe. I gave the med
icine as directed every ten min
utes until he “threw up” and
then I thought sure he v:as go
ing to choke to death. We had
to pull the phlegm out of his
mouth in great long sti’ings. I
am positive that if I had not got
that bottle of cough medicine,
my boy would not be on earth to
day.—Joel Demont, Inwood,

McCrory and A. S. Thompson of
