Environment.

A lily grew in a garden far
From the dust of the city
street.
It had no dream that the uni
verse
Held aught less pure and
sweet
Than its virgin self; so chaste
was it,
So perfect its retreat.
When night came down the lily
looked
In the face of the stars and
smiled;
Then went to sleep-to the
sleep of death
AS the soul of a little child
Goes back to the clasp of the
Father-soul,
Untouched and undefiled,
A lily bloomed on the highway
close
To the tread of the sweeping
throng;
1t bore the gaze of a hundred
eyes
Where burned the flame OF
wrong;
And one came by who tore its
heart
With a ruthless hand and
strong.
1t caught no glimpse of a gar
den fair,
1t knew no other name
For a world that used ant
bruised it so
Than world of sin ant
shame;
And hopeless, crushed, its spiri
passed
AS the evening shadows came
And who can say but the shel
tered one
A sullied flower had been
Had it's home been out on tn
highway close
To the path OF shame and sin
And the other forever ange
white
Had it blossomed safe within

The Times That's Hard to Beat.

That wrinkles from the window

They mean the times we've toll

There's a song o. jubilation that

The tables piled with plenty;
the very best O. times
In the jlnglin' o. the dollars an

Oh, we're all a-feelin' thankful

EVILS AND THEIR REMEDY.

superior to the law and to the Gus.
toms of civilized people 1t is related
that one of these fellows recently en-.
tered car partly filled with ladies,
took seat among them and deliber.
ately lit a pipe which he puffed Wig
orously. The conductor told him he
could not smoke in the car, but he
paid no attention. The official re-
quested him a second time TO stop,
when he insolently replied that he
would smoke where he pleased. One
of the gentlemen passengers then took
part in the controversy and gave the
fellow to understand that he would
have to get out and he reluctantly
skunk TO the rear platform growing
ugly threats. On another occasion one
one of the same breed of cattle took
one of the open cars and stuck his
feet over the back of the seat in front
of him. A fight between him and the
conductor was narrowly averted be
fore he would consent to behave him
self.
II is not right to blame the entire
race with such offenses as this. or
with the crimes committed by the
lower elements among them. any
more than it would be right to con-
denim the entire white race for the
brutalities and crimes committed by
the lower elements among them: but
there is one noticeable and regretable
difference between the two races viz:
the white people generally condemn
their criminals, and the greater the
crime the more general and fierce is
their demand that punishment be IN
flicted. while the reverse Is too fire..

PRESIDENT sMALLs LEffER.


Elsewhere in thIe issue will be
found a very interesting letter from
President A B Small. of the Macon |
Charmber of Commerce. with refer-l
ence to an editorial and news story
which appeared In The News several
days ago, charging that the steamer
Nan Elizabeth had Disseminated in
the matter of REFUSING to handle
freight from Brunswick to river
points on the Ocmulgee.
The News is pleased at the attl-
tude of President Small in the mat
ter However. he is not quite correct
in all of his statements AS matter
of fact freight was rendered the Nan
by a Brunswick wholesale house ana
the shipment was refused by the
steamer. Probably. however, that
was due to an over loaded cargo ana
we are willing 10 believe that was
the case
The Brunswick merchant who wan
ted to ship 4 small amount Of goods
TO some river point very likely
would not have written to Macon for
rates. but would very naturally have
expected to receive them at the
ships side, Regarding to that por-
ton of the letter of President Small
referring to the allotment Of stock
TO Brunswick" we do not know who
could have authoritiyey asserted
that Brunswick would not subscribe
for stock III the Macon and Bruins
wick Navigation Company. Has Mr.
Small or any of his associates can
passed the City for stock subscriptions
to the enterprise?
Brunswick people are energetic
and progressive and II the investment
| is a sound one and President Smail
will visit Brunswick and go over the
situation with our business men. we
are quite sure he will receive the
proper encouragement at their hands
We are compelled to take issue
with the statement of President
Small thatlther has been any effort
In Brunswick to place the Macon anC
Brunswick Navigation Company in
bad light. OF II such conspiracy has
existed, then we are absolutely ir
