Some Wild Guessing.

Macon Telegraph" Coffee
;ounty is taking aggressive step
toward securing the colony of '04.
The Fitzgerald Enterprise says if
Hon. P. HI. Fitzgerald locates his
new colony in that section of the
state, it will be in Irwin County
where the success of the past
assures that of the future"
There is no evidence to show
that Irwin county is in any way
superior to Coffee county from a
colonizing or any other stand
point. Our lands are as produc-
tive, ourpeople as good or better,
and chances for securing large
tracts of land in a body more fav-
orable. Perhaps editor Mercer

BRYAN CANNOT GET

Superior Court Found Against
Him in Connecticut.

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 12.-A
decision adverse to William J.
Bryan in his contest over the will
of the late Philo S. Bennettof New
York and this city was handed
down to-day by the Supreme
Court of Errors after an all day
session.
The decision virtually denies
that Mr.. Bryan is entit1e to $780,
600 mentioned in the sealed letter
written by Mr.. Bennett and ad-
dressed to his widow, to be read
by her after his death. By letter
the widow was asked to give $50,
900 to Mr.. Bryan and his family.
This decision sustains the de-
cision given by the Superior
Court last spring, and also the de-
cision Of the Probate Court, be-
fore which the matter was first
brought up. A opinion was
filed with the decision.

A Lively Chase.

The citizens of Irwinville and
vicinity had lively all day chase
Friday.
The negro was seen easing
around the edge of town early
this morning with an old gun and
shot bag. About nine o'clock he
appeared at the home of Mr..
Langford about a half mile from
town, and no one being there but
the lady and Jim Rogers wife a
colored woman, he demanded
something to eat and on being
told that nothing was prepared
he drew his gun and demanded
again that something to eat be
furnished him. The woman
threatened 20 call for help and
he went away.
AS soon as it could be reported
dogs were put on his trail. The
men at first found it difficult to
do much without horses. AS
soon as horses were procured
and he was trailed up to Sandy
Jim Ford on Alapaha river about
four or five miles from here, the
men in pursuit not Delng ac.
quainted with he woods got Mr..
George Fletcher TO accompany
them. After crossing the river
the dogs struck fresh trail and
followed him on to the plantation
of Mr.. II. Y, Fletcher and caught
him in hedge.
He said he was an escaped
convict from the Palmer turpen-
tine camp al Broxtop. He was
pla sed in the gang for twenty
years for burning a storehouse
at Lulaville. Georgia. - Irwin

Electing Postmasters.

Why should a president be per-
mitted to turn the postofice de-
partment into a partisan machine
aud use thousands of postmasters
as paid agents to advance his po-
litica1 fortunes? He should not.
Why should a member of
congress be permitted to build up
a personal organization composed
of the postmaster recommended by
him but paid by the government
and use this organization to defeat
other congressional aspirants in
his own party? He should not.
Why should a chief executive
be permitted to fill the most fire.
Euuented Office in the community
with a postmaster Objectionable
to the community and reward him
for his services with the money
paid in by the community? He
should not. Why should the
Great Father at Washington, "
AS the Indians call him, be per-
mitted to electioneer among the
colored voters of the north by ap-
pointing black postmasters in the
south against the protest of the
patrons of the office? He sould
not. And yet all these things are
openly and VIGOROUSLY done to-
day. The election of post
masters by the people whom
they are to serve will correct all
these abuses. 1t is in harmony
with democratic principles; it is
consistent with the doctrine of
jISo1Ssal self-government. What
objection caan be raised to it?
Can president know the aspir-
ants more intimately than the
community and better judge OF
their qualifications? Is he more
interested than the community
in prompt, honest and efficient
service? BY leaving the appoint
ment, the removal and rejection
for cause in the hands Of the
president, but by restricting
appointment to Il list furnished
by the community, the rights and
interests of both the federal
government and the various com
munities can be protected. Pfesi-
dents and congressman will then
run on their owa merits and not
on the machines which they have
built up; the public service will
be improved and communities
will be protected from the inn
positions that are now practiced
upon them. -Commoner.

Not a Matter of Sentiment.
April 19

Life insurance is not a
matter of sentiment, but simply a
practical investment for the protection
of the family, and at the same time
providing for ones old age; and the
same business principles which would
govern the purchase Of bank or cotton
mill stock, are needed In the selection OF
sure. You should examine what the
GUARANTEES in the contract are
and not consider any estimate Of fu-
ture earnings, except as they are war
ranteG by the past record Of the COM
pany; remembering that these EST1-
MATES are not part Of the contract,
and are not included in 1t. Always
keep the contract In view. Agents Of
ten present various side issues, which
they press as reasons why the custo-
mer should buy their goods, and they
naturally present that which Will ap-
parently show their company IN the
best light possible. Sometimes it Is
one thing and sometimes another. You
should always bear in mind that the
contract Is what governs between you
and the company, while statements
made by the Agents, it not embodied
in the contract, are Of no value and are
no part Of it. The policies Of all rep
utable companies have good features,
but there are no features that are OF
practical value to the policy holder OF.
fered by any company, that are not
embraced in the contracts Of the Mu.

able features that are to be found IN

My Bulletin.

r N attempting to publish a BULLE-
l. TIN it will be my purpose to snow
the public at home and abroad what
clients desire to buy or sell. Where
parties have attractive property TO sell
1t would facilitate sales If they furnish
a good picture and cut which would
show property off to much better ad-
vantage. People are not seedy all over
the world as they seem to be in places
where they imagine buyer, seller, and
property must all be in sight to effect
a deal. Our famous Rock Hill Buggy
Company sold to parties In AFRICA,
as we'll as New Zealand, recently and
I sold a farm to a man at Princeton,
Ills, who has neither seen me nor the
farm. All brought about by advertis-
ing. Business people with money don't
going to see people and property on
uncertainties. They want property
described and represented strictly as
it Is, therefore we should not only tell
foreign buyers with printers Ink What
we have to offer, but should show 1t by
pictures as we'll. This kind Of induce
ments will encourage thrifty inhabl-
tants to invest and help to build up
our country. Thrifty people don't care
to settle where the inhabitants show
lack of progress, snap and go. our
country Is extra fine If 1t was deVel-
oped. Such farmers as R. L. Sturgis,

rons, Sam Friedheim, O. S. Poe, +. H

There should be more ready market FOR
"a fhara 10 for cotton. be-
cause it is more substantial. What we
need are traders who are ready to say
something, whenever property Is ofrer-
ed. By this owners would take more
interest in enhancing and beautifying
the earth, which Is the foundation TO
all other business. Assist this once
and 1t will help you, both directly and
indirectly. To have pleasant lire ana
world, we must be and act friendly to-
ward everything good around US. care
for the land and it will support you.
Neglect and abuse 1t, and both owner
and land soon look as II they had no
friends. Notice the attraction Of paint
and whitewash. Even pigeons flock TO
it, partly because it Is rare. Civic So
cieties are great because they induce
people to think about and make I'M
provements. Let us not fuss and jan
gle with our neighbor, but strive Tor
peace and pleasure. Our lawyers
should be paid to study peace-making,
instead Of going to courts, often never
to get out, with all sorts Of unfair
means to win and make enemies for
life. I hope our Rock Hill attorneys
will soon lead the band by having their
signs read, "Counsellor-of- Peace. in
stead Of "Attorney-at-Law." In my
opinion they would carry more money
and bring about more happiness. SO
much court house business Is rapidly
becoming a humbug. We need
change for the better. There Is room
for Improvement in all branches OF life.
I am not out for Office. or guardianship.
Only mean to tell the boys my opin-
ions, and want to do your brokerage
