Atlanta, July 3.-Developments of
the last few days tend to establish
persistent rumors to the effect that at
least Gnree Georgia congressman will
have opposition for reelection in the
primaries of next year.
1t is certain that the First, Second
and Ninth districts will furnish lively
campaigns, and there are probabilities
of political skirmishes in the Third,
Fourth, Seventh and Eleventh DIS
tricts.
1t has been conceded for months that
Congressman elect C. G. Edwards of
Savannah will have opposition in the
First district.
Senator e. X. Overstreet of ScreYen
county will be among the number who
will offer for the position. 1t is re-
ported that several others may enter
the race.
Senator Overstreet declines to dis
cuss his probable candidacy, but his
friends expect him to make state
ment before the adjournment of the
legislature.
In the Second district the incumbent,

END SEEMED NEAR LAST NIGHT
Mr.. Lowe Was Reported Slowly Sink
ina.

Shortly before 10 O'Clock last night
the condition of Mr.. Holmes Lowe,
which during the day had apparently
improved slightly, underwent change
and those lingering tenderly at his bed
side were told that the dread summon
might not be long delayed.
From that time he appeared to be
slowly sinking.
During the early morning hours he
had seemed worse, and his father,
brothers and other relatives in Buena
Vista were hastily summoned and
reached the hospital at noon.
He was then sleeping under the influ-
ence ofopiates and thus secured sever
al hours of repose, the first sleep in two
or three days. This needed rest SEEM
ed to produce beneficial effect, and
in the afternoon a shadow of hope was
entertained.
During the early hours of night came
the change for the worse.
At q late nOur last night JHe dunouHcS-
ment was made that the end was very
near, and the dread summons might
come at any moment.
This young man, so popular, so
much beloved and with so much in
life to live for, had made such valiant
struggle that friends and loved ones
believed he would recover. For five
weeks he had been despertely i'll, at
no time improving.
lie was stricken during the last
week in May, and two weeks ago was
removed to the city hospital where the
tenderest nursing and best medical
skill was continued in his behalf. But
his malady was deep-seated and baffied
all efforts.
At 1880 last night, when the paper
closed down, he was fast sinking, and
the end seemed very near.

OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR OLD SUMTER
I5CtS Cotton and Prosper
Gus Times Ahead
ARt TIKI PRESENT INDICATIONS
Cotton Reports All Point TO a Decided
Reduction in the GrOp.-Sumter
Win Come Up With a
Fairly Good Yield.
ARt TIKI PRESENT INDICATIONS

Sumter county viii be all right, IN
all human probability, on the cotton
proposition said Mr.. A. w. Smith,
president of the Bank of Southwestern
Georgia yesterday. He has studied
cotton and its bearing on the prosper
ity of Sumter and Americus for many
years.
Everything points to fifteen cent
cotton, he continued. at is quite
probable :hat there will moi be over a
ten million bale crop, if that much,
and that certainly means the price l
have mentioned. Sumter county
should make eighty per cent. of a full
crop, and at l5 cents that means pros
perity for our farmers.
1.-The rains we have been having
came just in nick OF time. We can
stand even some more at this time
without doing any damage. Then
with good, clear, sunshiny weather the
cotton will be doing its best.
'If the crop this year is as short as
anticipated it means not only good
prices this year but for the next year
or two, at least. We always come up
with a pretty good crop in this terri
tory, and so conditions would seem TO
point to two or three years of prosperl-
ty ahead for old Sumter.
Fifteen cent cotton on seventyfve
to eighty per cent. yield will more
than make up for the falling off IN
cotton production hereabouts and for
the damage to the fruit ana corn. /
am very sanguine as to the future,
and look for very healthy fall and
winter business generally hereabouts
as a result of these conditions"

PROPERTY is QUESTIONED

Washington, d, c., July 3.-About a
fortnight ago Mr.. bryce, the British
Ambassador at Washington, while
making a circuit of some Western col
leges, was interviewed on the subject
of the new constitution that has been
adopted for the proposed state Of Ok
lahoma. He is reported to have com7
mended many features of it, and this
fact has given rise to speculation as to
whether he has overstepped diplomatic
proprIeties.
A story was printed in an Eastern
newspaper, in which the assertion was
made that the State Department had
instituted an inquiry for the purpose
of ascertaining exactly what comments
the Ambassador made, with view to
determining whether there wass any
ground for complaint. But confrma-
ton is lacking, and moreover, there is
no one here who can or will corrobor-
ate it,
Secretary Root left the city for the
summer ten days ago, and Assistant
Secretary Bacon is also away.

President is Silent.

Mr.. Roosevelt has reserved his opin-
ion of the constitution and its lndivi-
dual provisions. 1t may be he actual
Iy does not like certain features,
though he has not said so. If the
British Ambassador has unwittingly
committed a faux pas" it was in
praising clauses which the President
disappro YES. But since he had no
means of knowing the Presidents per-
sonal views, it is difficult to believe he
has made blunder serious enough to
cause any agitation at the State De-
partment. The press reports are that
he commended the initiative and re-
ferendum clause of the constitution,
among others, but it is not known
whether that appeals to Mr.. Roosevelt
also.

No investigation On.

81 know ofno investigation, j" said
Acting Secretary of State Adee. Per
sonally / believe nothing has been said
by Mr.. Bryce that would demand an
Investigation. He is gentleman, as
well as diplomat, and would not
commit himself on such an issue.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Bryce
could have expressed very learned
opinion of the constitution. But l do
not believe he expressed himself one
way or the other.
''The British Ambassador long ago
attained high standing as an analyst
and exponent of the American gov
eminent through his authorship OF

ciples and operations of this govern
ment, and many could obtain valuable
information from reading his work.
But that he presumed to criticise the
issues involved in the constitution is
believed by the officials to be untrue.
Mr.. Bryce will not be called on to
offer an explanation, nor will the State
Department take action on the mat.
ter.'
The suggestion that the administSa.
ton might be displeased doubtless
arises from the fact that possibility
exists that the constitution in its pres
ent form may not receive the Presi-
dents entire approval. Republican
politicians of oklahoma and in Con-
gress have repeatedly besought him to
pass judgment upon it, and to intimate
that it was Objectionable in certain res
poets. But thus far he has carefully
refrained from expressing any disap-
probation, to the disappointment
of the politicians. 1t is true, week
ago he ordered census of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory in order to ascer-
tain whether the constitutional conven-
ton, controlled by the Democrats, ger
rymanded the Congressional districts,
as alleged by the Republicans, but this
is as far as he would go.

The prohibition forces in House and

when they force the fighting next

and favor local option instead, are get

Cities to Control Traffic.
One measure suggested is the control
of the traffic by cities of 10000 opula-
ton or over, regardless of the county
vote. This, if adopted, will give the
larger cities, with police protection,
control of their own affairs.
The subject is of absorbing interest
about the capitol.
An Increase in Homicide.
The report of Prison Commission,
submitted today, shows marked in
crease in homicides in the State.
More than 1000 convicts doing services
are there for homicides committed, or
attempted murder.
The increase in number for the year
has been over per cent.

Education personal MatSSF'
Education is becoming more and
more a personal matter The teacher
is entering more fully than ever be-
fore into the real life of the child.
Children's thoughts, and hopes, and
desires are being better understood
bv the teacher and hence insted al
constant repression. there is encour-
agement to thought and action. Pun
ishment has been relegated TO the
place where It belongs, and children's
minds are no longer filled with fear.
It is to be sincerely hoped that we are
nearing the pedagogical millennium
when all will recognize that the school
was made for the child and not the
child for the school.
The tendency of this movement
must also be to place the teacher in
that social relation that will not only
be pleasing from the personal stand
point, but will advance the cause of
education. There has in too many
places been much of isolation on the
part of the teacher. Let this disap-
pear and let the teacher be an ac-
knowledged factor In social life, not
on account of the profession being
honorable, no one for a moment con-
troverts that, but on account of in
dividual graces and the mutual In
terest that exists between home and
with the children for six hours a day
