Rev. w. G. Shacffer, D. D.

Inc savannah papers speak IN
highly cnmmrnlatory manner OF DR..
Srhacil'cr. upon the clnsilw of his
work aS paS,nr Of the Lutheran
Church Of he Ascension. The Press
says: "For fifteen years DR.. Schaef-
fer has been ut The head of The
church with which MS connection is
soon TO cease. During that time he
has made friends with great many
SavaAnahianA, who regret TO see
him leave the city. He has served
his church we'll and has been such a
citizen as would be welcomed to any
community. Hc is popular, not alone
with lnasc of his own denomination,
but with people of all classes and of
all churches. He has been broad
minded on all questions and has tax
on an INT crest IL the affairs of the
city. Hc has served with much
pleasure, in an official capacity, the
city Of his adoption and he finds
that to break the bonds that bind
him to Savannah, the municipality, is
almost as ahrd as the breaking Of the
ties that sewers his citizenship. DR..
Schacffcr will always find a warm
welcome in Savannah when he visits
this city in the future.' The Morn

the church over $1,000 in debt and
without a parsonage. He put his
shoulder to the wheel and immcd-

up the congregation and the church.
His congregation at that time was
about 400. There is now member

Paulk. w illiams

Monday afternoon, June Bird
Mr.. Wiley Williams led to the
alter Miss Julia Paulk the lovely
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs, Dan T.
Paulk, of Whitley.
1t was one of the most beauti-
full and elaborate weddings Of the
season. The splendid home was
tastefully decorated and quite a
number of guests assembled to wit
ness the impressive ceremony,
performed by Rev. T. G. Davis,
pastor of the Fitzgerald, Baptist
church. Miss Lola, the charming
sister of the bride, was maid of
honor and Miss Marie Bowyer, of
Triton, bridesmaid, Mr.. Arthur
Williams, brother of the groom,
was best man and Mr.. r. B.
Fletcher of Irwinville was grooms-
man, Mrs. James Paulk Jr., pre-
sided at the piano. Immediately
after the ceremony the bride and
groom came to Fitzgerald where
an elegant dinner was served by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Paulk of the
Aldine Hotel, after which the
bride and groom left over the A.
B. & A. for Lithia Springs. They
will return to this city next week
and be at home to their friends at
the Aldine.
The bride is the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan T. Paulk, of
the most charming personality and
one of the most popular young
ladies in this section.
The groom is prosperous tur.
pentine operator and highly es-
teemed citizen.

Cotton Propagation.

Washington, D. G. Juue.-In q
report j u t MAIDS public, Hon.
James Wilson, Secretary of Agri-
culture, states the investigation in
the production of races of cotton
having longer and better fiber are
being continued along two lines:
CD The making and testing of hy-
birds between various ShOrt-staple
varieties and the Sea Island or
long staple cottons, and (2) the
straight selection of certain short
staple varieties will show a ten
deney to produce fairly long lint.
A number of hybrids have been
secured having lint ranging from
one and one-quarter to one and
fve-eighths II h es in length,
which have fairly large bolls that
open wide and are easy to pick.
Some of these hybrids have been
bred in isolated patches for several
years and carefully selected, also
that at the present time they re
produce themselves nearly true to
type. Some further selection is
necessary before these varieties
are ready for general cultivation,
but they give promise of being of
great value. T h experiments
started five years ago in the selec-
ton of certain standard short
staple varieties to increase t h e
length Of lint without hybridiza-
ton have yielded somewhat strik
ing results. Two experiments
one, a selection from Russell Big
Boil, and the other from Jones I'm
proved-have yielded new types
having lint averaging about one
fourth inch longer than the paren-
tai strains, while in other respects
the varieties do not appear to be
materially changed. From d 6

Colony Receivers

Of Interest to ColonistS

Of more than ordinary interest
to thousands of Fitzgerald Colo
-nists is the hearingo evidence in
the case of the Colony Receivers
before Auditor Cannon, appointed
by the Superior court. This in
vestigation has been hanging fire
for some three years but, begin
ming last Wednesday, the Audi
tor has kept things moving in a
steady method and today bids fair
to bring before the public full
and complete reportof their dOings
from the beginning
Just before the ending of the
six years of colony life application
was made for the appointment Of
receivers and a few of our citizens
concluded they could better admin
lister and settle up the colony af-
fairs than the founder of the same.
The vacant lands that were to
be sold and the. proceeds divided
between the colonists according to
the original plan of the colony,
fell into the hands of the receivers,
whose final report failed to satisfy
the said colonists.

Ship Canal Suggestion.

The suggestion recently made IN
the columns of The Journal for ship
canal across the Florida peninsula,
has been widely commented upon
throughout the state and generally
commended. The following from the
Florida Agriculturist is along the
same lines followed by many articles
of like nature:
A waterway across the state would
be of immense value to the west
coast. By giving steamers a chance
to cross directly over, without going
around below the keys, the time of
transportation would be so shortened
that citrus fruits from the west coast
could go all the way by water at a
great saving in freight.
The editor of The Pensacola jour
nal proposes that the legislature snail
provide for the building of two more
large dredges and dig the proposed
drainage canal deep enough to be
ship canal. Then If it proves sue
cessful as a drainage canal, well and
good, but if not, we at least viii have
a ship canal.
This is only very brief summary
sof his proposition and does not quote
his argument at all. The last num-
Der of the Frenandina Record con-
tains an editorial note endorsing the
above proposed ship canal.
We do not see that there can be
any serious objection TO this cOmpro-
mise. 1t gives the advocates Of drain
age all and more than they ask, while
it gives those opposed to drainage
the assurance that the money spent
on the canal will not be wholly wasted
even if il turns out that the Ever
glades cannot be drained, or that if
drained, the soil is not worth drain
ing.
We trust that this idea will receive
due consideration by the legislature.

Importance of the
New Commission.

A recent issue of the New York
American contained the following
article relative to the importance of
the new Inland Waterways Commits
sion, which will be read with inter
est, especially along the gulf coast:
The Inland Waterways Commission,
In session this week at the national
capitol, has within its power possibil-
titles of great Importance to the
American people.
James J. HILL the railroad man, has
stated that if all the gold in the world
and all the available labor were CON
centrated for the next five years in
extending the trackage and multiply
ing the equipment of American rail
ways the carriers at the end Of that
period would still lack facilities to
handle all the freight produced by
industrial and agricultural prosperity
in the United States.
It is clear TO all men who have
given study to our continental prob
lens that the ultimate relief from
traffic congestion in this country will
come through the improvement OF the
channels of inland waters
Nature has blessed America with
an incompatible network Of nayiga-
BILE rivers. Had railways not vet been
devised. all our streams would be the
scene of a splendid traffic.
Many years of the nineteenth cen
fury had passed before there WIS any
promise that river transportation
would become a side issue for sea

son now why these natural highways
should be utilized again. Already it

All such facilities, properly ex-

AT BEAUMONT, TEX.
Negro Officer Killed and Two White
Men Slightly In
jured.
RX Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Beaumont, Texas, May S.-AS a re-
suit of two attempts at assassination
from ambush at Orange last night,
one man was killed and two seriously
wounded. The dead man is Major BeT-
kin, a negro officer, who was fired
on by unknown parties as he was
leaving a negro saloon. He was shot
five times, all the bullets entering his
body and producing instantaneous
death. II is thought that the shoot
ing was done by negroes, and several
arrests haze been made.
Billy Hudson, of Orange, and .. F.
Woodfin, OF Center. Texas, were on
the seat of d cab that was loaded with
people riding in the outskirts of the
town, when they were fired on, the
shot coming from a Winchester. The
bullet passed through the f1eshy part
of WoOdfin'S back, and entered the
arm of Hudson. 1t is thought that
this was also done by negroes, and
prompted out of a spirit of revenge
against Hudson, who killed negro
in Orange about a year ago.

Editor Times-Union: Just recover
ing from a severe illness l learn that
the proposed amendment to the con
sutuiOn, prohibiting negroes the
right of suffrage in this state, has
passed the senate and is now pending
in the house. This measure is one
so radical and of so much Importance
that l have thought that the EXPIRES
sion Of some views on the subject
may not be out of place. The follow
ing appear to me to be some of the
objections to it:
First-It is in direct violation of the
fifteenth amendment TO the cOnstitu-
ton of the United States, which is
the paramount law. The suggestion
that the supreme court Of the United
States, after recognizing the validity
of that provision OF the constitution in
various cases for many years. will
now hold it invalid. seems TO me
scarcely worthy of serious COnsideTa-
ton. | have never doubted the right
of a state to secede from the Union
up to the time it was decided adverse
ly by the arbitrament of arms but
have never believed that state had
the right to nullify a law of the
general government, as was attempt
ed by South Carolina in resistance to
a tariff act, and afterwards by a num-
Der of the northern states in resist
ance to the constitutional provision
and act of congress in pursuance
thereof, for the rendition of fugitive
slaves.
Second-The adoption of the pro-
posed amendment would evidence
defiance Of the general government,
which could not but initiate against
the interest of the state, which has
