The country,s Danger.

The grert strike of the North west
involving as it does the most vital
and far reaching constitutional prln-
plcs, mas disturbed the very founda-
tons of the Government. Scarcely
ever before in it's history has the
country been compelled to confront a
situation so fraught with peril and 80
full Of danger to the individual rights.
Of the citizen as it has faced III the,
last few weeks. The great masses
of the people are to be congratulated
that during these alarming cond1l q.
tions they have had at the helm Of
Government statesman who has
possessed the courage and the WIS
dom to measure fully up to the re-
ouircnliicsnts Of the situation. Inc
time has come in the history: of the
Government when all temporlzIng
with socialistic and communlstlc
evils, should be stopped. Naturally
in the struggles of organized labor
with allied capital and corporate
power and greed the sympathics OF
the people have to large extent
been with the former. But this SYM
pathy has been large reduced if not
entirely obliterated by the unreason-
able and lawles conduct of the Chi
cago strikers. Because, forsooth,
Mr.. Pullman and his employees do not
agree as to the matter of compcnsa-
ton to the latter. and because this
Mr.. Pullman asserts and MAINTAINS
that he has the right to pay his la
labor what he deems proper AMI AIDE.
ouate, it seems to be an assumption
on the part OF the federatlons OF
workingmen that they have right
to deluge the country in blood, to
burn and destroy private property TO
the amount of millions Of dollars, and
to absolutely disregard and hold IN
contempt the constitution OF the
country and the fundamental prlncl-
piles of society: This condition OF
affairs is evidental of a .cancerous
growth of alarming significance ON
the body of the Government and
calls for heroic treatmentat the hands |
of the authorities in Washington. LII
labor is not satisfied with the amounts
Of wages it receives it has the right
TO decline to work therefor. But at
that point so far as its employer or
ahc public is concerned its right
ceases. This is the principle Which
the Government and the country is
determined to maintain at any cost

scrted we might as we'll surrender
our Republican form Of Government.
But Che labor organizations say: "Not

A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE TOWN.
Prosperous and Progressive Farmers
Found in Lowndes County.


Lake Park, Ca, May 3.-Lake Park is
a iourishing little town with 800 inhabi-
tants, situated in Lowndes county on the
/ Georgia Southern and Florida railroad
within four miles of the Florida line 1t
is one OF the most handsome locations be-
tween Macon and Palatka Nature has
dealt lavishly with the town. Its name
is most appropriate. for it is a beautiful
park among the lakes, shaded with hand
some oaks and hickorys. Near by is sew
eral lakelets. Lake Alberta and Lake
View being the largest and most attrac-
tive
Lake Alberta is an enchanting sheet of
of water about two and one-half miles
long and a mile wide. 1t has a sandy
bottom and the water is as clear as crys-
tai. Lake View, or Ocean pond as 1t is
most commonly called. is the largest II
covers several hundred acres and has
several sail boats. used for pleasure and
fishing.
The surrounding circumstances will
sustain the supposition. No one to listen;
no noise 10 disturb, save the gentle rip
ping water and the splash of the trout as
he turns a sOmersault, in mid-air, I'M
mindful of the little boat, or its happy
occupants. The lake abounds with the
finny tribe. What an inviting place for
some capitalist to build a winter resort.
The fishing is unsurpassed and the forest
and fields afford the sportsman fine hunt
ing
There are sixteen business houses here,
a fine school under the management Of
Prof. w. A. Berry. with Miss Zant as as
sistant: four physicians look after the
sick, and one good livery stable furnishes
the tounouts. Mayor NJ. A. McRainey
deals out Justice, while Marshal w J.
Palmer takes much pleasure in introduc-
ing the evil-doers to the mayor.
Lake Park is surrounded by fine
farming country. Some of the most ex-
tensive farmers in Lowndes live in this
neighborhood.
The farmers are independent, they
make their provisions at home, and their
cotton is a surplus crop. The long staple
variety is planted altogether. This is
also great melon country. About 300
car loads of melons were shipped from
here last season. Despite the backward
spring the farmers here will be among
the first to commence shipping melons
this year. This is d section of Georgia
that is not distanced by any portion of
the state in agriculture. The lands are
very productive and the farmers are en-
ergetic and progressive.
The citizens of Lake Park speak in
high terms of the MORNING NEWS and its
pure democracy. No calamity howlers
or populists here. This section is inhab-
tied by progressive people, and rock
ribbed democrats.

A Probability That the State Will Be-

NOA1O bhC
Atlanta, Ca, May 9.-The Northeast
ern railroad, which was seized by the
state on Nov 20, will have to be disposed
of before long. Under the act author
izing the state to indorse the Northeast
ern's bonds it was provided that in case
it was seized by the state, after six
months it should be advertised for sale.
The six months will be up in a little more
than two weeks. Since the state has had
the management of the road it has cleared
about 5000 per month, which goes
toward paying the interest on
the bonds defaulted by the
Richmond and Danville. The states
Endorsement is for $500, 900, but with in

to about 100000. Under a resolution
passed by the last general assembly the
governor is authorized to bid the amount
of the states claim on the road when it
goes to sale, which is likely to be some
time of, and the chances are that the
state will become the owner of the road,
