THE postoffice at Bluffdale, III. 7, established in 1929 and conducted in the same house by two gener- ations of the Russell family, has been discontinued because of the rural delivery. John Russell was the first postmaster and his sons Spencer and w. A. J. Russell, succeeded him at various times. It is said there is no other instance on record of a post office ramain- - ing in the control of the same family so long a time.

IT may be of interest to some to know that an ordinary battleship costs as much as 2,000 farms, in : cluding tools, buildings and live stock. The expense of keeping it afloat costs a couple of farms every day, and single discharge of it's batteries consumes the value of township of the best land in New England. Moreover it's average life is not much greater than the army mule.

not at this time go into details; II suf-
fees that things have come to pass. As
TO the tariff, 1t is well known that under
its operation certain industries have
fourished outrageously. Under Its ne
farlous workings we are competing with

Is becoming. In some cases, far too opu-
lent. Take. for instance, tho one who
raises wool. He gets far more for his
wool than he would were the Australian

Why should the wool grower be thus

shall endeavor to express myself in
a manner which will be no discredit TO
the party of which | have become the
standard bearer. l shall not assume the
methods of speech of a distinguished

Praises the Platform.
The sublime platform recently con
structed at st. Louis. apparently out OF
loose boards left over from the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition. is assuredy a
marvel Of compact quotations from an
cient and modern sages. AZ q matter OF
course, 1t makes q liberal use of the de-
ceased Thomas Jenerson-as q party We
always use the deceased Thomas JET
ferson-but X goes farther and promises
to correct every known and q consider
able number of unknown wrongs and out
rages. wherever. whensoever and how
ever they appear in the bouniiess uni
verse. 1t vows to pry into, Investigate
drag out and jack up the scandals and
breaches of public trust. which we all

platform.
Liberty.

erty. and l feel that l may do so fear
lessly. as 1t is well-known assertion. il
not fact, that many crimes have been
committed in the name OF said liberty
Liberty is--in short. liberty Is something
we always refer to in the platform.
Power a Menace.
Thomas Jefferson said about all there
was worth saying about power, but /
may add a few weil-chosen words of
warning. There is danger in the very air
of Washington-nay, in the air OF the
entire District Of Columbia. l do not
fear it, and l may never have to breathe
1t, anyway, but, fellow citizens. l warn
you against the microbe OF power which
infests the land watcred hy the historic
Potomac. The power which seeks to
do things, 70 accomplish work, 70 create.

THE SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.

When the general appropriation bill
reached the senate committee from the
house it was found to be $250,000 in
excess of the income from taxes, and
$2OO, 900 was taken from the general
scnool fund.
This cuts the 100000 appropria-
ton down to 100000, and places it
where it has heretofore been. 1t puts
q stop to the probability of obligating
the state for more than it will receive
during next year.
is more than likely that the bill,
as amended by the committee, will be
passed, as the appropriation bill takes
into consideration the probability OF
a healthy increase in the tax values OF
the state.
This is we'll for the school interests
ofGeorgia. generally speaking. While
the people have the interest of the
common schools at heart, they object
to such large appropriation increases.
Several years ago this appropriation
was raised to 100000, but the people
would not stand for 1t, and the amount
was accordingly reduced by the next
legislature.

YOUNG MEN AND DEBT,

Before the general judiciary COM
mittee of the house of representatives
a prominent Atlanta business man
stated that in his opinion not less than
80 per cent of the young men of At
lanta are in debt for years salary
ahead
This assertion is no doubt true in a
general degree, whether the percent
age named is exactly correct or not,
and it is a pity that such is true. What
is true of Atlanta is true to more or
less extent of the other towns of the
state. The tendency of the average
young man to live in excess OF his
earning capacity is deplorable, and
The News trusts that this valuable
faction of Georgia's citizenry will be-
come educated to the fact that pru-
dence as to finance has as much, If not
more, to do with the successful man OF
today as any other consideration.
Doubtless these young men who go
into debt so thoughtlessly mean to pay
the debts some time, but it must often
happen that they cannot pay. To feel
they have spent somebody else's hard
earnings, have wasted on their vices
or their pleasures other peoples mon
ey, must be CALLING to young men OF
spirit and honor.

ton.

others in the earnest hope that Mr..
Mumford may quickly regain his
wonted health.
But, in the meantime, the cause for
which this good soul has so faithfully
labored should not be allowed to suffer
during his illness. Towns all over
Georgia are sending IN liberal contri-
buttons to the home, and Dawson
should follow the good example and do

TERRELL COUNTY'S PROSPERITY.

The article in last weeks NEWS
stating that the tax digest for 1904
showed an increase of third OF a
million dollars in the taxable property
of Terrell county the past year was
read with qualification by all who feel
an interest and have pride in the
growth and development OF the county.
The property returned for taxation in
1903 amounted to s., 979,67S. The re-
turns for 1904 aggregate So, 1875, 924.
The increase is S3l6,245.
Thisis one of the best showings made
bv any county in Georgia. Terrell Is
one of the smallest counties in area IN
the state, but It's prosperity and ad-
vancement along all lines are big
things. With the peace and harmony
that prevail among its citizens and the
material growth that has taken place
within It's borders the past few years
it is no wonder that it holds its place
as the banner county of the state.
This condition is very gratifying to
all Terrell countians. 1t shows that
the people are prosperous, and 1t
means that thrift, sobriety and unity
prevail among them.
Wouldn't it be unwise to disturb the
conditions under which this very de-
sirable state of affairs has been brought
about? Wouldn't it be wise not to do
anything that might change the con-
ditions that have placed US in the fore
front of the counties of the empire
state?
