THE TREASURY DEFICIT

The existing deficit IN the IeNas
state treasury is as numiliating as
il is unnecessary and inexcusible'
1t was forecasted by the governor,
who warned the Twenty-eighth
legislature that a deficit was newt
able if it continued to pile up APP
preparations, and declined to raise
the tax rate, but all his appeals
and warnings were UNDECIDED and
the Twenty-ninth legislature was
more needless.
The deficit does not exist be-
cause Texas has not abundant
means to meet her every obligation
as il natures nor because the
public of Texas are not willing to
provide the money necessary, but
il exists because Texas is inflicted
with a lot of two by four politicians
as legislators, FIVE out of six OF
whom are aspirants for some state
office or another, OF have some
scheme or political plan on foot
which is of far more importance IN
their eyes than the matter OF pro-
tecting the name of the state.
The iails in Texas are filled with
lunatics, for whom there IS no
room in the asylums, yet made
quate provision has been made to
house them or give them neces-
sary treatment.
There can be no higher obliga-
ton resting on the state than to
provide for the unfortunate and
afflicted, yet their appearance, the
pathos Of which was enough to
melt a heart of stone, fell upon
the ears of a lot of scheming,
selfish politicians with about as
much effect as if it had been adj
dressed to the Sphinx.
II gives no pleasure to The
Chronicle to say this, but the duty
of a newspaper is to tell the truth,
and the people have learned to
look to the Chronicle to do It.
After neglecting the highest in
terests of the state while schem-
ING for their own future, a half
dozen or more of them are already
declared candidates for speaker OF
the next house of representatives,
though the meeting of the legisla-
ture is yet nearly eighteen months
off and all of them have yet to run
the gauntlet of nomination and
election.
Texas, with unlimited wealth
and a proud, liberal and patriotic
people, now has a bigger deficit in
her finances and more previous
candidates for Offices, great and
small. than any other state in the
Union, which, however, is not
strange, for small legislators and
bic deficits are apt TO so together.

Thy Will Be Done.

Not in dumb resignation
We lift our hands on high,
Not like the nerveless fatalist,
Content to trust and die;
Our faith springs like the eagle
That scars to meet the sun,
And cries exultant unto Thee,
20, Lord Thy will be donel"
When tyrant feet are trampling
Upon the common veal
Thou dost not bid us cringe and writhe
Beneath the iron heel;
In Thy name we assert our rights
With sword and tongue and pen,
And cen the headsman's AK may fash
Thy message unto men,
Thy will II bids the weak be strong,
II bids the strong be just;
No lip to fawn. no hand to beg,
No brow to seek the dust;
Wherever man Expresses man
Beneath Thy liberal sun,
o, Cod be there. Thine arm make
barrel
Thy righteous will be donel

Capt. John "A. Philips Dad.
This community was shocked
Sunday morning at the news o.
the serious illness Of Capt. Jno
A. Phillips.
Capt. Phillips was on the street
Saturday, apparently in good
health, enjoyed his supper Satur'
day night and retired without a
complaint. About 2 p. m. Sun
day morning he aroused his wife
and told her that he was desper-
ately sick and the doctor was i'm
mediately called. 1t was soon
realized that his symptoms were
serious but he rested very well
till about sun.up after which
paralysis of the throat madeit i'm
possible to swallow and his
breathing became very difficult.
He grew rapidly worse and died
at p. M, surrounded by his de-
voted wife and only daughter,
Mrs. J. H. Harris, Mr.. Harris,
and his grand children and other
friends.
Capt. Phillips was one of the
best known men in this section
of Georgia. He had accumulated
by his industry and business
sagacity, nice fortune. He
owned some of the best realestate
in Fitzgerald and Triton.
He came to Fitzgerald early
in it's history and invested in
Central real estate, and moved
here with his family about six
years ago.
He was highly esteemed by the
business community and loved
for his acts of charity.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow and the body will be laid
to rest in the cemetary at Triton,
to which place it will be
accompanied by a large number
of his friends on a special train
leaving here at 8 a. N. The
family has thoughtfully arranged
for a seperate car for colored
friends of the deceased and many
of them areexpected to 60 to wit
ness the interment of all that is
mortal of Capt. Phillips.
In Capt. Phillips death Fitz-
gerald looses one of her most
CONSPICUOUS and public spirited
business men.

THoUGHTLEss WIT.

Wit that stings is akin to crime.

THE DISSATISFIED ONES.
Lives Spoiled by a Fruitless Longing
For Other Clella.

Lives Spoiled by a Fruitless Longing
For Other Fields.
Everywhere we find people who are
dissatisfied with their lot. WHO think
they would be happy if they could only
get somewhere else. into some other
occupation. They see only the thorns
in their own vocations, the roses in
those Of others. The shopgirl would
be an actress; the cook would change
places with her mistress, the butler
with his master. The lawyer would be
a doctor, the doctor a lawyer. The
farmer bemoans his hard lot and longs
to exchange his life of drudgery for
the career of the merchant or the man
ufacturer. The country boy leans on
his pillow handle and looks toward the
city with hungry eyes. If he could
only be free from the slavery Of the
farm, he thinks, wear good clothes, get
hold of a yardstick and stand behind a
counter! Happiness, opportunity, for
tune-everything, lies yonder; around
him misery. toll, poverty-nothing de-
sirable. A city youth behind a counter
or sitting on q high Office stool rails at
fate for combining him to the limits OF
brick walls and the dreary details OF
merchandise, buying and selling. or OF
figuring up accounts. oh, If he could
only go to sea and travel to distant
countries. become a captain in the ma
W or skipper or owner Of a merchant
vessel! Life would be worth something
then. But now
How much energy has been lost, how
many lives have been spoiled by this
fruitless longing for other fields. other
opportunities out of reach. What is the
use of signing or dreaming of what
you would do If you were in somebody
else's place? What is the use of trying
to reach into your neighbours pasture
when you do not know what bitterness
may lie at the root of it, hidden from
your sight. when you have never tried
to develop or to call out the sweetness
and juiciness which thrive in your
own?-O. S. Marden in Success.
