EDWARDS OF GEORGIA
AGAIN IN SPOTLIGHT

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Once again
is the irrepressible Mr.. Edwards. of the
First Georgia district. in the spot light.
He today came through the overhanging
cloud incident to the great tariff debate,
which has eclipsed all else in congress
for the past ten days, with his custo-
mary grace and agility and tonight is
poised up the pedestal, he himself
originated and manufactured by means
of his bill to decrease the salaries of
representatives and senators from $500
to $1,000 per year.
He introduced the bill today and in
some some quarters it is feared that he
will resort to the reformed" Fitzgerald
rules for which he voted to press his
measure to a record vote in the house
even though Speaker Cannon has already
refused to recognize calendar Wednesday
and has appointed none of his stand
ing committees.

FrOsts Did No Harm

At the Office of the Georgia Fruit Grow
ers' exchange. in Atlanta, on Saturday
afternoon, the officials said that the re-
cent frosts here had done no harm to
the crop. 1t was the opinion of the Of
ficiaIs that a pretty severe freeze, while
the ground was very wet would be nee
essary to render any damage. to the crop
now This. they said, would hardly hap
pen now.
President II. G. Bagley, Of the eX-
change, said last night that reports he
had received from growers yesterday in
dicated that no damage had been done
the peaches by the recent cold snap.
while there was frost and some ice in
several sections, the wind had blown suf-
ficiently to. dry out all moisture in the
blooms" said Mr.. Bagley. Hence the
peach itself was not hurt.
IT received reports. from south and
southwest Georgia, and the conditions
there are good Similar reports have
come TO me from north Georgia, The
growers express themselves as extremely
hopeful over the outlook for good
crop" o..

sentative of the exchange, pledged 100

Debate Won by Atkinson.

Atkinson, Neb., March 1.-Special
to The News: Saturday night at the
opera house, a debate was held be-
tween Valentine and Atkinson, which
decided that Atkinson won the cham
pionship of the northern district of
the Nebraska High School Debating
league.
The question was, Resolved, that
difficulties between capital and labor
in the railroad business shall be set
tied by boards of arbitration and com
pulsory powers"
Valentine supported the negative
and her representatives were Marie
Christensen, Edith Adamson and
Charles Hilzer.
Atkinson had the affirmative side
and her debaters were Roy Griffin,
Joseph Roche and Earl Scott.
The judges were superintendent H.
c. Filley of Albion, Superintendent
c. F. Lihr of Wakefield and Principal
Dell Gibson of Plainview.
The judges selected Roy Griffin as
the best debater. He will represent
Atkinson and the northern district in
the state contest at Lincoln next May.
This is the second debate held here,
the first one being with O'Neill
Never in Atkinson's history have we
seen more enthusiasm over the high
schools public work Both meetings
were well supported, the net pro-
ceeds of Saturday night being about
$45.
Too much cannot be said on the
able manner In which both sides gave
their arguments, but Atkinson was
far superior in her rebuttal. The
judges complimented the debaters
particularly on this part Of their work.
Superintendent Watson of Valentine
accompanied his debaters as we'll as
twelve high school pupils, members
of the board and patrons. Stuart was
well represented.
The debaters of Atkinson were
trained by Superintendent C. A. Mohr-
man of our schools, and to him the
boys, in great measure, owe their
victories. He has been untiring in
his efforts to help them, and their
successes are his. The patrons of
Atkinson are proud to have such a
man at the head of their schools.
Excellent music was furnished by
the orchestra.

Died, a Printer.

Norfolk. Neb., March l.-Editor
News: | heard the printers dying
words. To me he confided the story
of his life, of his family back east and
much else of personal and other dis
course that is immaterial here, and |
relate his story only to refute an
anonymous newspaper article that
defames the memory of the dead, to
point a moral and adOrn tale.
The man died of chronic Brights
disease. The end was inevitable from
the beginning, many years ago, lr-
respective of all other circumstances,
though, no doubt, hastened by them.
His habits were incidental and re-
suits rather than causes. His consti-
tuition was frail and his temperament,
both of which he inherited, highly
nervous. He spent his life in the
enervating atmosphere of COM
posing room. Day after day and year
following years he worked at the
case to support a family until his
children reached maturity Then,
under the strain of toll sickness and
despair, he severed his ties and took
the westward trail, seeking the Ell
dorado of health, happiness and sue
cess. Let us draw the veil over the
reverse side of the family shield and
tell the rest of the story. For sake OF
the living there are statements man
may make on his deathbed that should
not be repeated even to vindicate the
dead.
One day, years ago, back in the
| sitting air and binding cross-lights
of that old composing room, after a
series of recurring headaches and
/ sleepless nights, he imagined the i'm
posing stone was moving about the
room and the cases ascending to the
