True Manhood the Corner Stone of Society.

In laying the corner stone of a
Young Mems Christian Association in
one of our Georgia towns not so long
ago Col. VIM. B. Stubs, president
at that time of the Savannah Young
Mems Christian Association, said:
"If we could preserve a true, noble
type of manhood all else is safe.
IF your leading business men are
the embodiment of integrity, and
their word is their bond, then your
commerce will be conducted on a
high plane, and stability and perma-
nency will mark the history of your
business enterprises.

That is the Alabama story which
came over the wires Monday night.
They might have adopted it if it
had come in a less Objectionable
form. But the Alabamians got a
taste of the search and seizure act
and they did not like it. In one case
deputy searching for an alleged key
of beer went into lady's jewelry box
and stole therefrom diamond ear
rings. This, of course, was an ex-
IRENE and exceptional case, but it
came in time to lay bare the danger
of a drastic law.

The Union News says the cotton
buyer, the "sly old COON" made the
farmer believe that ten and eleven
cents was a big price for cotton.
Then he proceeded to buy it from him
for future delivery at that price The
Union News, maybe, has forgotten
that two years ago this same "sly
old coon" bought cotton for future
delivery at II to II cents and had to
settle for it at that price,when it was
bringing from 8 to cents in the
market. Give the devil his dues.

What is needed in Dawson and
Terrell county is strict application
of the law. The sale of whiskey, ac-
cording to report, is VIGOROUSLY COM
mon, and crime and rowdyism are
increasing. The worst thing about
it is that the character and lives of
young boys who are just reaching
manhood are liable to be ruined
There is a remedy, and the good peo-
pie should see that it is applied.

Hats off to the noble ladies of the
Library Association, whose annual

have arranged for an event that will
in many ways interest and delight all

extend cordial and generous apprecia-
ton, reward the ladies by making the
bazaar a glorious success, for as
suredly the purpose is as commenda-

be the view of Dawson people in gen.

Uncle Sam has started some war
ships toward Nicarauga, and is
threatening to spank that little South
American republic because it put two
Americans to death while executing
a number of revolutionists. Very
likely they were a couple of advent
urers who hunted trouble down there
with the expectation that this country
would protect them.

TWO REQUESTS.

some years ago DlShOp died al
dalladolid, Spain. He left by his will
he sum of $4,000 in the hands of
trustees who were to hold it until the
zine for its use in the manner he
desired. The Spanish prelate was a
patriot, of that there can be no doubt,
and the love of country is always
2ommendable. He felt keenly the
humiliation Spain suffered as the re-
suit of the war with the United States

and Porto RIGA, the defeats and sur
renders at Manila and Santiago. And
ne bequeathed the $4,000 to the
opaniard who should, in coming time,

eenge for the humiliation his country
had undergone. He was patriotic,
we must believe, this Spanish pre-
}ate-another Father Ryan after a
nanner, perhaps-but revenge was
the desire of his soul, even in death.
