CITY ELECTION.
II Occurs Today, and Regular
Ticket Will Go in Without
Opposition.

Today "wednesday is city election
day.
The regular nominees will be elect
ed without any opposition and the con-
sequent lack of interest will cause
very light vote to be polled. The can
oidates are:
For mayor, j. r. Mercer; for alder
men, J. G. Dean, F. NJ. Jennings, A.
M. Raines; for treasurer, W. A. Bald
win.
Alderman S. r. Christie has ten
dered verbal resignation, on account
of his being member OF the state
senate, but the city's laws require
that a resignation must be in writing,
and that four weeks proper notice by
publication must precede the election
of an officials successor. Alderman
Christie's term will not expire until
next December, and owing to these
conditions he will necessarily hold. over
for some time yet. Mr.. B. F. Melton is
the only one announced for the vacan'
CIV, and he will in all probability be
elected without opposition to succeed
MIR. Christie.

his loss would have been keenly felt.

The joint committee appolnVeu ny
Eve of the secret organizations OF
Dawson to examine into the advlsa-
b,litv of erecting a lodge building has
rendered it's report. The committee
finds il inadvisabie to undertake such
step lust at present, and other ar

this end some Improvements will be
made in the present lodgeroom, the
large hall over Bell Bros. and j. l.
Roberts stores, and the five organiza-

sessions there until some further
action is taken
The Masons have an elegant home
of their own, and therefore did not join
the Knights of Pythias, Woodmen,
Royal Arcanum, Mystic Circle, and
the National Union in the delioera'
tions concerning lodge building.

The insurance Fees.

Approaching the Importance of
the very rudical changes mado in
the State insurance laws and the
interest that is felt in the matter
by the insurer, as we'll as the in
sured, Auditor Cole has ordered
two thousand copies of the law
printed, and will have them ready
for distribution in few days.
The following extracts from
the new law, regarding fees, licen-
ses, etc., on the several varieties
of insurance are of special inter
est.

rine or accident insurance COM
pany to do business in this State

fee for for the licenses on life in-
surance companies shall be $3.50

licenses Of fraternal orders $25.
For purpose of securing unifor-
nifty in operation of this act the

panles and orders doing m insur-
ance business in this State on
March 1st, 1902, the licenses re-
quired by this act, and, in August
1902 and February 1903, shall col

cassava Cuttnre.

The Columbus Commercial OF
Sunday contains the following in
teresting article on the culture OF
cassa, q in this State:
This agricultural product, new
to our people, is beginning to at
tract widespread attention. 1t Is
purely a food plant. and was in-
troduced into Florida from the
West Indies only a few years ago.
It is remarkable producer, per-
fectly adapted to the soil of this
section.
"Colonel Joseph Eldcr,the we'll
known Lowndes county stock
man, has been looking into the
merits of the cassava plant for
some time, and to the Commercial
announced himself as thoroughly
convinced that il was one of the
best things that could be adopted
by the agriculturists Of this SEQ
ton. He said chat small amount
Of it was being cultivated in Mis-
sissippi, butin Florida there was
a considerable yield.
i" 1T is the most nutritious
food for animals, or man eth
err, that can be iaised' be de-
clared. The product Of the plant
is the root, like the potato--only
it is a far better food product thar
the potato, and for animals pos
ses 3 per cent more nutritive quail
ties. After gathering the root, the
stalk is replanted to produce agar
and will yield from six to sixteer
tons per acre. 1t is more easily
cultivated than any other plan
we have in this section, being les
trouble than corn, while yielding
more plentifully. The fruit is de
licious - many people liking il
better than the potato, while fo
hogs and cattle it is far prefera
ble.'
"Mr. Elder is investigating thu
facts about this product, and vii
give the farmers the benefit of thu
knowledge he secures"

What One Yellow journal Is Able

Ifa paper like New York Jour
nal we're living on the interest Of
an endowment fund without any
business income to balance its
outgo, writes Samuel X. Moffet
in The Pilgrim, the fund would
have to be over 800, 900. The
pay rolls of great New York pa
pers run from 100000 to $50, 900
per week, and that is only part
of their expense.
A single press of the latest pat
tern costs from $75, 900 to 500, 900
and The Journal has fourteen
such presses, each capable of
printing in five colors, and one IN
six, and each able, by superimpos-
ing to do photographic Jobs of a
hundred shades If necessary.
Each of these presses can pour
out in an houra cataract of $4,000
eight page papers, with five colors
on front and back, 1900 per mi
mute, or over 26 per second; so,
600 twelve page papers, $4,000 Of
sixteen or $4,000 of thirty-tWo
pages.
A four page country paper that
circulates 1000 copies may justly
consider itself reasonably prospe-
rous The Journals battery OF
fourteen presses can print that
number of pages and paper in less
than three seconds.
AS a seamstress puts her little
spindle of thread in her sewing
machine the pressman feeds his
press with giant rolls paper, each
four pages wide and about mile
and a half long.
Each of these rolls weighs from
1000 to 200 pound. An ordina-
Try edition will use hundreds of
them; an extraordinary edition
may devour as many as l 400

sized freight trains.

sualism, wickedness and the low

sualism, wickedness and the low
est ebb of materialism.
Ii is the hope that man is part
of God, that within the soul Is a
divine essence that will pass into
a higher idealization that keeps
mankind in a sense of morality
and justice of living.
When we look at men in power
and realize the selfishness Of their
lives Of wealth and luxury, we
feel certain that their souls are
dormant, even when their bodlses
are seated in fashionable churches
and their voices entone prayer
book words. Wealth can clothe
the body, and 1t can shrivel up the
soul beyond all the love teachings
of Christ, but the soul never dies
on this earth. Itis the breath of
life.
The rich man in the glitter of
bis millions feels the bitter cons
oiouSncss that he cannot control
his soul on earth, nor its destiny
beyond the tomb. When he con-
fronts bis own true self he realizes
that his soul is naked and shiver-
ing, and his thoughts are but
husks of tantalizing questions and
doubts. He is forced to confess
that he has mastered men and
money markets, but he himself
has gived no obedience to God
and his ideals of love. The DOR
mant tendencies of such a man
feeds the animal within him, but
his soul is not dead. The tossing
of his troubled thoughts indicates
the struggle for supremacy.
Immense and unimaginable
must be the infinite distance that
separates this earth from the
dawning of new land of hope.
If man has no soul, then there is
no land of hope. Every race and
every man OF this earth have
whispered 10 the echo of eternity
"there is a land of hope" a land
where the soul of man begins a
new life with the soul of God.
Our sorrows, our passions, our
joys are fleeting shadows; youth
and age pass away, and bring us
to an intelligence that the soul
does not die on this earth, NOR at
the gate of a new world of light
that gives peace "that passeth
all understanding DIR. Park
hurst, and other notoriety lovers,
are enemies of God, of heaven and
man. Mans soul is his vital prin-
ciple of life and hope. He who
denies the soul denies man his best
hopes, thoughts and strength of
life.

".MAN's SOUL CANNOT DIE. !.
BIZ JOHN oALpwELL. D. D,


DR.. Charles I'll. Parkhurst of
New York, pastor Of the Madison
Square Presbyterian Church, lives
in an auro of notoriety of perso-
nal imitation. He is one Of those
men who must live in public view.
Ii his voice were silenced, his
presence screened in the newspa-
pers and in the areepa of public
notice, he would die efrom inertia
of the vanity cells of his brain, or
some disease that kills conceit.
His late dogma asserts that the
Scripture teaches that unless the
soul is taken care of ia this life
twill perish at the death of grave.
Such an utterance is the vapor
thought of an unbalanced mind.
DR.. Parkhurst, nor any other
man living, or who has lived on
this earth, can predict the desti-
ny of the soul after death. Faith
gives hope. The tomb ends all
knowledge. Christ spoke in para
bles. He gave noinfallible edicts
of the life beyond the tomb.
Chrlst's preachings were Of love,
charity and sympathy on this
earth---a universal brother of
heart and soul. The human body
is matter. 1t is the substance
which gives us objective form,
but the force, that gives this mat
ter consciousness,is is the spirit, the
soul within the plane Of matter.
The choice Of our ldeais, our aims
in life, are of great Importance to
our souls, and the evolution of
our moral intelligence. Persona
lity is the manifestation of charac-
ter. The sins of one life may be
punished, not in an imaginary hell
of theatrical flames, but in res
urrected or a rebirth life. The
man who breaches that tbe soul
dies, on this earth or after death,
when it ignores the teachings of
ono mans narrow thought, is an
enemy to God and a partisan of a
mean, devilish doctrine.
DR.. Parkhnrst's creed declares
that tbe soul is immortal. How
dare he assume the authority Of
his vain brain, to contradict the
discipline of his church teachings
Ii man was firmly convinced that
the soul could die on this earth,
that death could drive it into d
perfect oblivion of soul conscious
ness, by a certain line of action
and thought, the whole world
would be revolutionized by SEN
