go out, give his hand to his son, and
follow him about, as he was at his
tasks, never speaking to him or any
one else, unless he was addressed;
but would never take his eyes eff
his boy. When he could remain 10
longer, he would silently give to ia

for his comfort, shake his hand and
quietly depart. As the next half

would appear again, and the same

OUR LEGISLATURE.

by far the more numerous class.

newspapers in general and we fear
that We will be placed in that cate

How to Judge a Horse.

An old horseman says if you want
to buy a horse don't believe your
own brother. Take no mans word
for it. Your eye is your market.
Don't buy horse in harness. I'm
hitch him and take everything off
but his halter, and lead him around.
If he has a corn, or is stiff, or has
any other failing, you can see it.
Let him go by himself a way, and
if he slaves right into anything you
know he is blind. No matter how
clear and bright his eyes are, he
can't see any more than bat. Back
him, too. Some horses show their
weakness at tricks in that way when
they don't in any other. But, be as
smart as you can, you'll get caught
sometimes. Even an expert gets
stuck. A horse may look ever SO
nice, and go nice pace, and yet
have fits. There isn't man could
tell it till something happens. Or
he may have a weak back. Give
him the whip and off he goes for a
mile or two, then all of a sudden he
stops in the road. After rest he
starts again. but he soon stops for
good, and nothing but derrick
could move him. The weak points
of a horse can be better discovered
while standing than while moving.
If he is sound he will stand firmly
and squarely on his limbs without
moving any of them, the feet fatty
upon the ground, with legs plump
and naturally poised; or if the foot
is lifted from the ground and the
weight taken from it, disease may
be suspected, or at least tenderness
which is precursor of disease. If
the horse stands with his feet spread
apart, or straddles with his hind
legs, there is a weakness in the loins
and the kidneys are disordered.
Heavy pulling bends the knees.
Blush, milky-cast eyes in horses in
dictate moon blindness or something
else. A bad-tempered horse keeps
his ears thrown back. A kicking
horse is apt to have SCARED legs. A
stumbling horse has blemished knees.
When the skin is rough and harsh,
and does not move easily to the
touch, the horse is a heavy eater and
digestion is bad. Never buy q
horse whose breathing organs are at
all impaired. Place your ear at the
side of the heart, and if a wheeling
sound is heard it is an indication of
trouble.

DEATH OF MARK n. COOPER.
One of Georgia's Most Valuable Son
Gone to Rest After a Long Life.

One of Georgia's Most Valuable Sons
Gone to Rest After a Long Life.
Maj NJ. A. Cooper, whose death was
announced in the MORNING NEWS a few
days ago, was born, says a Gainesville
letter to the Constitution, in Hancock
county, Ca, April 20, 1900. If he had
lived until April 20 next he would have
been IS years of age. He first attended
Franklin College, at Athens, and then
graduated at Columbia College, South
Carolina, in 1919, and was admitted to the
bar in 1921. During his long and fruitful
life he held many positions of honor in
Georgia. In 1871 ne Joined the Baptist
Church in Eatonton, and was baptized by
Rev. Jesse Mercer. From that time until
death he retained his connection with the
Baptist denomination. The news of his
death viii recall historic memories to
thousands Of Georgians.
MAJ. Cooper was elected Solicitor Gen.
eral of the Ocmulgee Circuit, subsequent
ly ran for the Judgeship unsuccessfully,
served one term in Congress, and was
elected a second time, but before he en-
tered on his term he was nominated by
the Democratic party of Georgia as their
candidate for Governor. He resigned his
seat in Congress to accept the nomination.
He was defeated by George w. Crawford,
a schOOlmate of his, and a party associate
at all times prior to this. In
1886 he served in the war against
the Seminole Indians in Florida as O
Georgia volunteer. While represent ting
Putnam county in the Georgia Legisla-
ture be aided greatly in pushing the Geor-
gia Railroad to completion. He built
with his own means a branch railroad
from the State Road up the Etowah river
to Etowah. He was mainly instrument
| tai, as President Of the road, in negOtia-
! ting for the Van Writ, now the East and
| West Railroad of Alabama.
While in Putnam county, having con-
verified all his means into cash, he estab-
lished a bank in Columbus, with a capital
stock of S2j0,000. Having selected Bar
| tow county as his home for life, he built
up the EtOwah iron works and flour mills,
with a capital OF $500, 900. The iron works
| consisted Of two blast furnaces, a foundry
| for hOllOw-ware and machinery, a rolling
mill for merchant iron, and nail factory;
| a flour mill with a capacity of $50 barrels
| of flour per day, being the first establish
ment of the kind in Georgia. He was the
| first to open the coal mines in Dade county
and on the Tennessee river, for manufac-
turing purposes in Georgia. He organ
lied and founded the state Agricultural
Society, the objects of which are set forth
| in it's primary constitution, drawn by
| himself He was for fifty years trustee
of the University of Georgia, and was a
| trustee of Mercer University at its organ

No man who ever lived did so much to
develop the mineral resources of Chero-
kee Georgia, as Maj. Mark A. Cooper.
