THE ROW IN REPUBLICANS RANKS

The republican party ia Speaker
Henderson's congressional district In
Iowa has declared for tariff revision
and renOminated the speaker for an
other term, but the latter surprised
his constituency by refusing the noml'
nation. He is opposed to revision OF
the tariff, and for that reason declines
another term in congress, for the re-
publican nomination In his district is
practically an election.
Now comes the New York SuE, one
of the staunchest and most influential
OF republican organs, and chews the
rag viciously with President Roose'
welt. because of the latter's attitude on
the Question of trusts. The president
wants the constitution amended in
such manner as to give the federal
government control of such organiza-
lions. The Sun says that with the
national governments grip fastened
on the heart of business the authority
and individuality Of the states would
wither into formality aud nothing
ness.
The prevailing spirit throughout
the length and breadth of the country
Is for revision, both in tariff and in the
present method of dealing WiJh the
truly alarming trust situation. Speak
,eF Henderson is opposed to the former,
but is far-seeing enough to recognize
Ahe inevitable, and has made his bow
of exit; and because of its apathy, If
not friendliness, in dealing with the
latter the republican party. headed by
President Roosevelt, is doomed to soon
make an enforced bow of the same
sort.
The people rule after all.

If it is information our good brother

furnish it. When Terrell county built
her court house, one of the two or
three handsomest in the state, bonds
to the amount of $4,000 were issued.
An February of this year Sl2'oOo OF
these bonds matured and were retired.
Each year the county pays the interest
on the bonds and places $4,000 in
sinking fund to retire the bonds as
they mature. And yet Terrell county
leVies no taxes.
Besides, the county has $4,000 in
the treasury or out at interest.
Every dollar the county owes is Just

An Essay on Editors.

A twelve year old boy in Western
school prepared an essay on 1.-The
newspaper" which he recently read
at the Friday afternoons literary ex-
ercises. The essay contained much
originality, if not great chunks OF
wisdom and information. Following
are some extracts:
Newspapers are sheets of paper on
which stuff to read is printed. The
men look over it to see if their names
are in it. don t know how newspapers
came into the world. | don't think
God does. The bible says nothing
about editors, and | have never heard
of Que being in heaven. The first edl-
tor L ever heard of was the fellow VINO
wrote up the food. He has been here
ever since.
'SOme editors belong to the church
and some try TO raise whiskers. All
of them raise the dickens in their
neigh bOrh0od.
.ISometimes the paper dies. and then
the people feel glad, but some one
starts it up again Editors never went
TO school, because editors never get
licked. Our paper is mighty poor
one, but we take it so ma can use 1t on
her pantry shelves. Our editor don I
amount TO much, but paw said he had d
poor chance when he was boy. tie
goes without underclOthes in the win
ter, wears no socks and has wife 20

NEW PEACH TREE DISEASE.
1.-The LittIes," a New Form Of Blight,
Playinu Havoc With Orchards.

''The Titles" is the strange name of
a new disease which is threatening
the peace of mind and the pockethOoks
of fruit growers, saws a Chicago dis.
patch. 1t is destroying hundreds OF
acres of peaches in Michigan, and he
roic measures are being taken by the
federal government TO eradicate the
blight. IL is predicted that many
fruit growers will be practically ruin
ed, as to eradicate the disease means
the destruction of the entire orchard.
'"The Titles" is so called because the
leaves shrivel up The peaches are
about the size of marbles. Growth is
dwarfed and the disease spreads from
tree to tree with great rapidity.

A Notable Declaration.

From the Albany Herald.
In the ses sion of the National Negro
Baptist Convention at birmingham
the idea of American negroes
emigrating to Africa was strongly dis,
cOuntenanced, there being practical
unanimity 'On the subject. The sentl-
ment of the convention. as expressed
ia strong terms, was that the negro IN
this country is in better condition than
the negro in any other part OF the
world, and that he cannot hope to bet
ter his condition by going TO other
countries in search of wealth or higher
social station.
AS the Vast majority OF negroes In
the United States live in the south
the conclusions reached by the Bir.
mingham convention are in effect that
the black man is happier and enloys
greater freedom in tn section than
elsewhere; that here his opportunities
are greatest, auo only limited bV his
willingness to labor for the improve
ment of his condition.
This is in line with the comparative
" recent discovery and most reluctant
admission by the north that the south
ern negro's best friend is the southern
white man. II is not a little gratifying
TO the south to see such representa-
tive gathering az the Birmingham con-
veutiou openly acknowledge the DEBT
of the race TO the section which fate
has decreed shall be their adopted

Death beckoned to Mr. H. o. Beall
last Friday, but the latter concluded
that he was not ready TO leave this
vale of tears.
Mr.. Beall was out squirrel hunting
about a mile and halt from town, and
sitting down on log put one of his
hands behind him. Suddenly he felt
a singing sensation in his hand, and
looking around saw large rattlesnake
in it's coil. Notwithstanding he had
been bitten by the venomous reptile
Mr.. Beall shot the RATHER before at
tending TO his wound. Then with
presence of mind that may have saved
his life Mr.. Beall made the wound in
his thumb bleed and tried to suck the
poison out, then bound it tightly with
his handkerchief and started home.
Fortunately he was Overtaken by Mr..
G.. L. Tumlin in buggy before he had
gone far, and the two drove rapidly to
the office of DR.. Patterson, who gave
the snake bite prompt attention.
MIR Beall is being congratulated by
his friends on his fortunate escape
from a hOrri hIe death

city, Mr.. West Daniels saw snake in

casin Mr.. Daniels put his hand on an

thumb. He applied tobacco poultlce
to the wound, which eased the pain for
a while, but the thumb continued TO
swell until it was signt TO see. 9th
err tobacco poultices were applied, and
these reduced the swelling and eased
the pain. Barring soreness In his
thumb Dir. Daniels feels no bad effects
from the mOccasin's poison.
News has reached the city that Fred
Muse, a Cuthbert negro who is work
ing at Mr.. Alb Cores, about ten miles
from town, was bitten on the hand by
a rattlesnake few nights ago. he
was sleeping in an Clubhouse and the
RATHER crawled in the bed with him
and objected to being elected. Fred
is reported to be in the land of the liv-

A rattlesnake struck at one of the
city employees Monday near The power
house. Street Overseer McHan killed

wore eight rattles.
