EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Atll:25 last night Mrs. Fl. and my
self boarded the Atlanta West Point
train for Montgomery, reaching the
latter place at $40 in the morning.
The officials of the line are very ac-
commodating to their patrons and
the traveller is made to feel that it is
no trouble to the employees to an
swer questions and give information.
A splendid eating house for the
South greets the hungry way
farer at Montgomery and atten-
tion is paid you that is quite I'M
usual at such places in the North,
albeit, the cooking is not altogether
as palatable as we find it in our sec
ton. There is plenty of food set be-
fore you, but it lacks that appetlslng
relish that makes it particularly sat
isfactory. The prices are reasonable,
the uniform eating house rates being
so cents.
At 7:IO we boarded the great Plant
System for Port Tampa, Florida.
This is the greatest railroad In the
South. From Montgomery to way
cross, distance of something over
300 miles one passes through central
Alabama, and through the heart or
some delightfully."- beautiful country.
We took hand-me-down sort OF lunch
mo regular eating house, at Thomas
vile, Ga, which is noted throughout
the North as winter resort, ana IL
was here, if mistake not, that Mrs.
Judge Buck and daughter, Laura
spent portion of last winter or the
winter previous. The city is located
in the midst of a pine forest and from
what we could see in passing through
on the train, is really pretty south
ern town. 1t has two large hotels
and during the winter season both
are filled with northern health
seekers. From Thomasyille to Way
cross much of the country is uninter-
esting, there being large wastes OF
swamp lands. Here and there, how
ever, are seen large orchards, mostly
pear, and the crop is said to be large.
At this point no frOsts have yet ap-
reared, and today has been uncomfort-
ably hot and dusty riding.
The landlord of the Hotel Phoenix,
from the office of which | am writing,
informs me that large settlements OF
German families are taking up thous-
ands of acres of land in this section of
southern Georgia, and will 60 extern
sively into fruit raising. The fruit
mostly cultivated here is pears,
peaches, and grapes, all of which
grow abundantly and to great profit.
We leave here at 9:l5 this p. m. for
Port Tampa, and barring accident
will reach there at 900 o'clock in the
morning. At s O'CLOCK in the even
ing we will board the steamer "Flor-
ida" for Mobile, Alabama. This line
of steamers, as we'll as those plying
between Port Tampa and Key West,
and Havana, are owned and operated
by the Plant System. In fact when
you reach into southern Georgia and
central-southern Alabama, the Plant
is about the only means of transit you
meet with, and their service is
thoroughly good, with rates reason
able. L. ?. III.

The excuse given in the council for
ordering the street lights turned off
was, that there was no money to pay
for them and the amount due each
month would have to be borrowed.
When the taxes were levied sum
equal what the lights cost was in
cluded in the levy. 1t was not, of
course, designated as a special fund,
but it was understood that an amount
equal to the cost of the lights would
be used for that purpose. The tax
payers with the idea in view that it
was to be used for that purpose paid
their tax. So far as the people are
concerned the lights have been paid
for, and they are entitled to them.
To shut them off now is simply de-
frauding the people out of what they
were led to understand they would
receive for the taxes they paid.

USE MINNESOTA MATERIAL.

In speaking of selection of plans for
a new state capitol by the state capt.
tol commission and the material it
should be built of the St. Cloud Jour
nal Press remarks that there is one
thing that should be impressed upon
that body and that is that the build
ing should be built of Minnesota ma
terial. '"The people of this state
must pay for the building" continues
the Journal Press, "and they certainly
have the right to demand that it be
constructed of Minnesota's building
products, of which this state has so
great of an abundance. The new
capitol should be monument of
Minnesota products, and it should
represents each section of the state,
so far as practical. The quarries at
st. Cloud, Duluth, Big Stone, Manka-
to, Kasota, ETC.. will furnish suffici-
ent varity of stone, from the finest
red and gray granite, to handsome
brown and cream sandstone. The
forests of the state will supply both
hard and soft woods, while there is no
end to the brick, and good brick,
which the kilns of Minnesota are
furnishing. So far as possible the
commission should see that only Min
neSota material is used.
'To send to other states for anything
that can be secured at home for a pub
lie building, paid for by the people of
this state, would be an outrage. The
state has had one experience of this
kind, and it will not be wise for the
public servants to repeat that folly.

Obituary..

In the death of Mrs. J. L. Lankard
we have an illustration Of the power
of grace to sustain the christian in
the severest trials of life, and in her
case enabling her to gloriously tri-
umph over death.
When it was revealed to her by her
physicians some three months since
that her disease was incurable, it
came to her entirely unexpected.
To give up her family to whom she
was devotedly attached, and her
hopes for long and prosperous life,
to retire from her field Of usefulness
at the early age of thirty-siX, caused
her severe struggle.
But the victory was decisive and
complete, and she was made to tri-
umph in the God of her Salvation.
Entrusting her family to God, she
proceeded to put her house in order,
expecting the end was near, Death
to her had lost it's sting, and the
grave it's terrors. In the long weeks
of suffering that followed no murmur
ever escaped her lips AS she neared
the close of life her Christian graces
shown with increasing luster, after
telling her friends not to grieve for
her but rather rejoice that she had
preceded them only a short time,
when they would join her in areunion
in that Country where the inhabi-
tants never say they are sick.
Her serene cOuntenance, her words
of cheer and comfort, will long be
remembered. and remain as benedic-
ton to her friends, serving to draw
them closer to bod and to better and
higher living.
''Servant of God, well done,
Thy glorious warfares past,
The battles fought, the victory won,
And thou art crowned at last"
80 may we triumph SO,
Till all our warfare's past,
And dying find our latest foe,
Under our feet at last"

The suit of John Peters vs.lJoseph
Sprague was tried by jury in the
municipal court today, w. E. Young
appearing for the former and w. N.
Plymat for the latter. The plaintiff
dug well for the defendant last
summer and charges for So days at S.
day. He says that he has only re-
ceived $50 and sues for 1926. The de-
PENDANT says the well was to be paid
for at 81 a foot if more water was
secured than the old well supplies,
that this is not the case, and he
makes counter claim of $l44. 35 which
he claims to have paid the plaintiff.

the usual way, turning aside contin-

81 was young man by this time,
and working in the same pare with
him at Wheel Dream. Twas common
practice for some of the young men to
laugh at him about his Bible reading,
but they couldn' do so very openly, for
the elder men wouldn't hear of it.

them. But 'twould be good thing

treath ever dream of what had worked
the change until John Sampson died
suddenly, when he was about halfway
through the third Of his Bibles. Of
course, they searched his drawers and
SO on. And at last they found an
old pocketbook. In it was piece cut
out of the 'All Sorts column of the
Argus:
"Anyone who discovers printers
mistake in a copy of the Bible is en-
titled oreceive q reward of one guinea.
Mother was very much surprised to
find how much the old mans savings
amounted to; twas plain he must have
been miser And, knowing that, she
coudn' misunderstood the meaning of
that bit of newspaper. John had read
the Scriptures daily for years past in
the hope Of finding mistake in the
spelling Of it, and earning guinea.
Whether he would have got it, can't
say; for he certainly never found a
mistake. And yet could never get
mother to own up that all that read
ing OF the Scriptures wouldn' stand to
his credit for SO much as halfpenny,
being undertaken in wrong spirit"
Sam'l ceased, and hourished an inef-
fectual-looking whip at the pony.
"Now, make haste, JESS" he said; otis
late, and got to go to prayer meeting
tonight"
But Jess logged onward at the old
sober pace, which nothing could alter,
and Pentreath was still miles away

i'latonic Friendships Between Married
Men and inexperienced Girls.


Men and inexperienced Girls.
The greatest Of dangers, think, lies
In the belief of the possibility of Pla-
tonic friendship with married man,
writes lady in Ladies' Home journal.
A number of letters have come TO me
written by unhappy girls who, having
been thrown, either through business or
In social way, with fascinating men,
have yielded to the attraction, believed
In the possibility of such friendship,
only to discover that what was talked
of as friendship was In reality love.
Nothing excuses you, my dear girl, for
loving man whose heart, mind and
body belong to another woman. 1t Is
true that too often these undesirable
friendships begin In the most innocent
way, but the very minute that you find
that this man Is becoming a necessity
to your happiness You must stop, and
at once. The old story Is told by the
man, the oft-told story of an unsympa-
thetic wife--a wife that Is not compan-
ionable, wife given over to domestic
affairs-with, us natural sequence,
the oft-told story Tint you bringa little
life into his life, that you make little
happiness, and that you are the only
woman who ever thoroughly UNDER
stood him. This Is such an old story,
and yet It is one TO which too many
women listen. My dear girl, look the
matter straight In the face, No matter
how bad mans wife may be, no mat
ter how he may long for companion
ship, you are doing an absolute wrong
by even listening to his story.

Education.
The university of Pennsylvania was
founded in Philadelphia, in 1740, as a
charitable school, one hundred and
four years later than Harvard, thirty.
nine years later than Yale. The most
distinguished men active in its founda-
tion were DR.. William Smith, its first
provost, and benjamin Franklin, who
for nearly half century was identi.
fed with the institution as a trustee,
and for large part of that time as the
president of it's board. Nine years after
its foundation Franklin wrote pam
phlet relative to the education of youth
in Pennsylvania, in which he advo-
Gated courses in the English lam
guage and literature; in other modern
languages, particularly French, italian
and Spanish, because they were the
tongues of commerce in his day; in his
tory, in mathematics, and in the ele.
ments OF the applied sciences-all con.
stituting curriculum which, in his
opinion, would qualify those who pur.
sued them ito pass through and exc.
cute the several offices of civil life
with advantage and reputation to
themselves and country" Franklin
tried to exclude Latin and Greek from
the school. Provost Smith advocated
them. BY compromise, both ancient
and modern languages were included
in the course. Shortly before his
death Franklin wrote an elaborate
paper to show that his own ideas
of education were the ideas of the
founders of the university. AS many
of his ideas have been adopted into
modern educational systems, and espe.
cially his emphasis of science, modern
languages, history, political economy
and psychology, as the university has
developed into a great school of science,
and has OF late years laid the founda.
| tions of schools of economy, history,
biology, hygiene, veterinary science,
chemistry and engineering. Franklin,
| by many, is called the founder of the
university. Probably just statement
will include the labors OF Provost
Smith and the ideas of DIR. Franklin as
the principal initiative forces of the
university. ty.-Francis N. Thorpe, in Har
