ing the situation somewhat. but the
corn crop will be very short. In
many counties it will he a total fail
ure. The cotton crop is badly dam
aged and will surely BE- short. In
Grenada county no rain to amount
to anything has fallen for about two
months. The hot winds have wrought
large damage here as in other parts
Of the state. Unless rain comes soon
the future is difficult to foreSee.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

A careful observation of passing
events will lead one to the conviction
that Fortune is tickle god. No one
race or family or individual can be
sure Of always being favorite. In-
deed, the man who is smiled upon
today will often be spurned tomorrow.
The man who is rich today may be
poor tomorrow. The rich mans sons
may be the poor men of the next gen.
GRAFTON. The poor mans son Of to-
day may be the rich man Of tomor-
row, The happy man Of the present
may be the man of sorrow in the near
future. Changes and reverses are
waiting for every traveller. How nee
essary, then, that there should be
the enthronement of a broad spirit Of
brotherly love, of humanity, Of hu-
mility in every human heart. No
man can afford to scorn the friend
ship Of the humblest, for some day
he may need the comfort of this same
humble one, No man can afford to
ignore the obligations resting upon
him to lend hand to help brother,
for the day may come when the only
hand that can bestow blessing upon
him may be that same brothers. hand.
The man who holds himself aloof
from his fellows and becomes a sell
fish, self-satisfied individual is dis
grace to humanity and mus tive to
see the day when he will reap what
he has sown.

1t will be noticed by referring to
the city ordinance published in an
other column that the municipal tax
has been reduced 333 per cent. This
is pretty deep cut, and is welcomed
by the taxpayers. The matter of
cutting down the street duty tax
from $500 to $500 is the item that
is going to interest the greatest num-
ber as this is q tax that has to be
paid by rich and poor alike. We
have hoped for long time that this
would be done and we are glad to see
this cut. The town affairs are now
in good shape, and we were confident
that reduction would be made as
soon as the financial affairs got in
shape to justify it.

4; We notice that our old friend and
fellow quill driver, Addison H.
Shaver, the hustling and wideawake
editor and proprietor of that shining
star among the weekly newspapers
OF Georgia, the Jackson Argus, has
been appointed commissioner from
the sixth Congressional district of
Georgia by Governor Chandler, to
the Worlds Fair at ST. Louis, Mo-,
in 1903, His business will be to Sc
cure specimens Of Georgian's me-
chanical and agricultural products
and arrange for their display at the
Worlds Fair. This is an honor rich
ly deserved by Mr.. Shaver, who is
one of the finest newspaper men in
Georgia or anywhere else, and the
appointment will reflect credit upon
the State as well as upon the county
of his adoption. Editor Shaver is
hustler from away back and his ap-
pointment to this important trust
means fine exhibit at the fair from
Georgia.

He was much impressed at the friend

II Bryan or Hill is nominated | be-
lieve either could be elected. 1t is
certain that the next President will
be Democrat. The Republican

may be something in this. We hope
80. We can only wait and see. 1t
Is our opinion, however, that il Roos-
evelt is nominated by the Republican
party, he is going to be hard man
TO beat, on account Of the very favor
able impression he has made in the
South by his very evident friendliness
to this section. This very thing
coupled with the fact that he is a
man that cannot be pulled around by
the nose, not even by Boss Mark
Hanna, may result in his failure to
secure the nomination of his party.
The Republican party wants the
Presidents chair filed with plant

victions of what he conceives to be
