Communication to the HERALD.
A few mornings ago as we were wend-
ing our footsteps toward the Grand

one say He was crushed by the cars"
On arrival at the offices we learned that
conductor Needham had been badly hurt
by falling between the cars and was on
his way "home." But before We go far
Their what word is there in the English
language today that's sweeter than this
word alone 2" The memories Of home
ale lasting, i'm fact they are the last to

will ever live to regret the time spent in
counsel with an honored father, or the
teachings learned at good old mothers
knee. Some time during the forenoon
telegram WAS received saying that Mr..
Needham had crossed the Dark River
and into the Great Unknown. and it
caused us to wonder who will be the
next?" Sad to ponder over isn't it 4?
But you can't tell, can't tell, no
one can tell save Him who runs the
"signal lights" of eternity. That old
reaper, Death, and the keen-edged cycle
cuts down the young as relentlessly as
the old. You can't escape it no matter
how you live or where. The inscrutable
ways of Providence are past finding, out.

"GentIemen may cry Peace, Peace
but there is no Peace!"

Nations are only an aggregation of
individuals Like the latter the former
have passions, pride, ambition, preiudi-
ces and all the sentiments and sensations
incidental to humanity. The greatest
peace conference ever had disperses b,
to meet the noise of war. Nations are
conducted by the same minds that con-
trol individuals; and those conductors
being men of superior quality their bel
ligerency keeps pace with their virility
and active impulses in other respects. A
nation is warlike or peaceful in accord
ance with the disposition of it's rulers
and the physical development of its peo-
pie. The difference between individuals
and nations in this respect is that indi-
viduals are controlled by law and ma
tions are not, except that the latter are
partially restrained by the law Of ma
tions operating as sort of code of honor
which does not prevent an appeal to force
at the will or impulse of any people. The
luelist and the prize fighter are re-
strained by law. An individual wronged
is compelled to appeal to tribunal for
apeaceful solution Of any contention he
may have with his fellow. Nations COM
pei this for the subie but reserve the
privilege OF doing wholesale evil that
they deny modicum of to individuals
Enlightened nations do things producing
enormous and fearful consequences,
which when done by subject with com
paratively little results stamps the per-
petrator with dishonor. The same acts
which occasion evil in gross and bring
glory and fame, when perpetrated in de-
tail cover the perpetrator with shame
and disgrace. Nations are but human
impulses bundled.
1t would be thought that the COM
bined intelligence, Judgment and con
s,rvatlsm of nation would control its
belligerency. But it must be remembered
that there is lively competition in hui
man faculties and the combative have
always maintained successful rivalry
in development with the others and
probably always will as long as the ma

For Representative to Congress
SECOND DISTRICT.
COL PORTER II. DALE.

We have previously given in our col
amns biographical sketch of the work
of Mr. Dale. Now we propose to state
not so much what he has done but what
he is; and We do this with great salts
faction because we have an opportunity
of stating just exactly what a man should
be and of being certain that everybody
who knows him will know it to lie a
statement without the least concealment
or exaggeration. In the first place his
private life has been without suspicion.
We never heard of its ever having been
criticised. His daily work has ever been
upright, his conduct manly, his deport-
ment gcntlemanly, and his conversation
entirely free from vulglrity, slang or
profanity. He is Christian gentleman,
with broad benevolence and charity.
His friendships are not demonstrative or
enthusiastic, but absolutely true and
consistent. This is much to say, but we
incur no peril in saying it because we
are in the midst of people who know his
character as well as we do. As a scholar
lac is cultivated and well grounded in
educational matters As lawyer he is
candid, just, good strong reasoner and
presents his views in becoming manner
As a business man he is industrious
painstaking energetic and efficient, and
has the poise of Il man of maturer years
Ills experience has been various for q
man of his years and his judgment and
discretion have invariably secured good
results. As speaker he is dignifec
and impressive, and he has always in {
way been associated with the public. Ir
politics he has ever been absolutely con
sistent, devoted to the Republican party
industrious and Jealous for its prosperity
and he is in full sympathy with thu
theories of the present administration.
Such is the man whom the HERALD
in obed ience to the universal and enthu
siastic wishes of the people OF Esse,
County and numerous friends Gas W,
understand iD in various portions Of tn
Second Congressional District, present
us candidate for congressional honors

one of her sons to represent this Distric

with assurances that when the prope
time came and worthy and well quail
fed man should be presented for tn

ed and her hopes realized. She nov
feels that she can present man who

SOME WARM TALK IN ATLANTA.
Mayor Woodward, Hurt, Atkinson
and woodruff in n TanEIe.


Atlanta Jan. 27.-Mayor Woodward
President Fl. NJ. Atkinson Of the Georgia
Electric Light Company, and Joel Hurt
and President Ernest Woodruff of the
Consolidated Street Railway Company,
have worked themselves up to the fight
ing point, it would seem. judging from the
fiery uuerances made public by the en-
ragged Quartette.
Mr.. Hurt yesterday charged that the city
did not have clean government last year
that the Mayor acts of Partially and
obstruction in dealing with his company
were patent to everybody that there would
probably be some interesting disclosures
before the matter ended, and threatened
TO invoke the aid of the courts. The
Mayor addressed him a card to-day, call
ing for a public retraction, which Mr.
Hurt refused TO give.
The Mayor thereupon addressed a com
municat ton to the public in which he says
In effect that only his position as Mayor
keeps him from personally resentng
Hurts attack.
President Woodruff of the Consolidated
also said some very caustic things that
brought replies from both the Mayor and
II. M. Atkinson, the former denouncing
the state of Mr.. Woodruff as false, while
Mr.. Atkinson calls them-Hurt and Wood
ruff-a noble band of patriots, character
izing Hurt as "threatener, intimidalor and
bulldozer and his bi-product, e. Wood
ruff, as a faithful chronicler of the truth. "
Atkinson says he would like to turn his
flash light ''on the many curious trans
actions of these two worthless during the
long line of years that they have, I'M
molested, fed their corporations at the
public crib and enjoyed so many extra
ordinary municipal favors; flash it upon
their doings in the Board of County Com
fnlssioners. BY all means bring out the
flash light and Oct us turn it on. Sam
Jones says that it is the hit dog that
yelps I have also heard that the stuck
pig squeals."
