alter Melon Kinds.

Will not be permitted on the
streets. We might as we'll start
in right at the beginning of the
season. 1t will be easier to keep
right. Don't cut your melon
until you have a place provided
for the rinds. With a little
effort small boxes can be provid-
ed, and arrangements made with
parties owning horses, cows and
hogs to carry the rinds away
each day. These receptac1es
must be kept free from all other
matter, so that the rinds will be
fit for stock.
The inspector will place boxes,
near the street, in each alley in
the business district, and see
that they are emptied daily, but
this does not give lisense to befoul
the streets when no boxes are
provided.

this notice, an arrest or two be-
come necessary.

John Temple Graves
on Henry G. Turner.

But, at the best, the inspiring
moral of Judge Turner's life is
in his great and splendid charac-
ter. Rare as were his abilities,
the thing that made him honored
and admired above other men
was his stainless integrity and his
brave adherence to his convic-
tons. Here was a man who new
err sold the truth to serve the
hour. Here was man who new
er bent the pregnant hinges of
the knee that thrift might follow
fawning. Here was a man who
threw his convictions always in
to the scale against his interests
and weighed them down with
sacrifice and majestic unselfsh-
ness to the end.
This is the lesson which editors
and eu1ogists should point young
Georgians of today-that the tall
est Georgian who has lived and
died within this decade of our
civic life was one who never hes
itated to rank truth above ex-
pediency and conscience above
political preferment.
No nob1er epitaph upon a Geor-
gia tomb could point the way of
Georgia youth to a useful and
il1ustrious life.-John Temple
Graves.

NEW COUNTIES IN GEORGIA.

There seems to be quite a
movement on foot in Georgia to
establish new counties in this
state. We have already told OF
the progress which has been
made toward the formation, with
Ashburn as the county seat.
We learn from special tele-
grams that a mass meeting of
citizens was held at Hazlehurst
Monday to take steps to encour-
age the passage of the Cromrathe
bill now before the legislature to
create new counties in Georgia.
G. w. Chapman was made
chairman, H. G. Moore secre-
tary, and ]. H. Boone treas
urer. A standing committee
of five was elected and resol-
utions we're adopted favoring the
bill and p1edging the unanimous
support of that section. Some
thing over $4,000 was subscribed
and a considerable amount was
paid in. Hazlehurst is the home
of Hon. J. A. Cromatic, pre-
sent representative of Appling
county, who introduced the bill
to allow the creation of other
counties. There are now five
organizations in the state in read
mess to ask for new counties as
soon as the bill becomes a law.
The people at Hazlehurst are
enthusiastic and believe Halle
hurst is soon to be the county
seat of a new county.-Macon
