GOVERNOR RECEIVES
NUMBER INVITATIONS
ATLANTA, Ga., April 6. —So many
towns have invited Governor Har
ris to deliver Memorial Day addresses
that the governor would have no time
to attend to the duties of his office,
much less campaign for reelection, if
he accented them all, even if that
were possible. Exercises, in a num
ber of instances have been deferred
tc get the governor.
HIGH SCHOOL CADET
CORPS RECEIVE ARMS
The Americus High School Cadet
corps have received their equipment of
rifles and ammunition from the U. S.
war department. The equipment con
sists of seventy-five Krag-Jorgensen
carbines and 3,000 rounds of ammuni
tion. In the communication from the
department no mention is made as to
the amount of ammunition available
(or the use of the corps, the suposition,
however, is that there will be plenty
for practice purposes.
7he corps will not be permanently
organized until this fall, the beginning
of the school year. It will then be put
under strict military discipline and
under the charge of a member of the
faculty fully competent to take con
trol.
ATLANTA HAS 1 GENUINE
GUSSIN' PARROTT
ATLANTA, Ga., April 6. —There is a
cussing parrot in Atlanta that says
naughty words in three languages. Its
owner him ‘‘Billy Sunday.” The
parrot has developed such a vocabu
lary that no ladies are permitted in
hearing distance.
A visitor at a farmhouse near At
lanta accidentally learned of the pres
ence of the bird, which was the prop
erty of an ex-sailor. He said that
when he looked into the cage where
pclly sat there came forth a roar
and a volley of slanderous wrath that
would have raised the roof off the big
tabernacle of Billy Sunday. Just about
the time that poliy chanegd over from
English to Spanish, and then to an
other kind of South American lingo,
the owner apologized for polly’s behav
ior, and explained that it was just nat
ural for it to talk that way, and that it
picked up the language when it used j
to travel in various part of the world. 1
Polly always cusses in three differ-,
I
ent tongues, so that no matter who is
around they are bound to understand
part of it, and realize that "Billy Sun- 1
day” isn o four-flusher when it comes
to righteous wrath.

PAGE FIVE
Georgia Educational association to
consider the needs of the schools of
the state.
The great question of compulsory
education and the elimination of
adult illiteracy will receive attention.
The fact that Georgia stands 44th
educationally In the roll of states and
that illiteracy is on the increase in
50 counties of the state makes these
questions of vital interest.
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, presi
dent of the Kentucky illiteracy com
mission, and originator of the moon
light school idea, will make an ad
dress at the Macon meeting. The
bill for compulsory education has
twice passed the senate and both can
didates for governor are understood
to have declared themselves in favor
of such legislation.
Every city, town and county board
Is expected to grant its teachers hol
iday on Friday, April 21st, in order
that they may attend this convention.
Atlanta, Macon, Tifton, Americus, Ft.
Valley, Commerce, Albany and numer
ous other towns have already done
this, as well as a number of counties.
