A GOOD MAN is GONE.

The passing of Nathaniel w. Do
zier brings recollections and cher
ished memories to many here in
Dawson who knew and had been
with him through nearly four de-
cades. His life was an active one,
and he had part and parcel in
the affairs of the community dur
ing all of these years-in the church,
in civic matters and in channels of
business. But now that he is gone
and we who knew him here shall see
him no more it is good to note how
everyone speaks in admiration of his
qualities of head and heart that en-
deared him to his fellows He lived
to the best purpose, and has left
the impress of his exalted nature on
the lives and hearts of the entire
community. He was honored and be-
loved, and many there will be who,
in the stress of existence, will pause
at times to recall an affectionate
memory of him and renew the uni
versal tribute; 'He was a true and
loyal man in every walk of life. -
Life is worth living to have men say
that of you when you are gone

TWO GOOD FELLOWS.

Within ten days the world has
lost two good fellows" whom it
can i'll afford to spare, one the great
est American of the present genera
ton, though a private citizen, the
other the king of a domain on which
the sun never sets-Samuel L. Glenn
ems and King Edward VII Mark
Twain" was the most democratic
celebrity imaginable, while Edward
Guelph was the most democratic of
monarchs, says the Griffin News.
Edward much resembled Shake
speare's favorite character of Prince
Hal" who led a somewhat bolster
Gus life before becoming king, but
who graced the throne with ability
and dignity and demanded and re-
ceived the respect due him and his
position 1t is a type that has often
deceived not only the unco good,
out their companions, the majority
OF all classes predicting an evil end
10 career that begins in revelry
and ends in splendid achievement.
While it is not a life for youth to
emulate, yet it is one for the more
mature to appreciate.
So here's to Mark and Edward,
for they were both Jolly good fell
lows" and hoping they will soon
meet in that other world where rank
is nothing and character everything.

THE PREVALENCE OF PERJURY.

The prevalence of false swearing is
courts, and alarm at its growth is
frequently expressed, especially by
those whose duty it is to prosecute
and punish crime. More than once
in recent years has it been referred
to from the bench in this circuit,
and in some instances indictments
have been returned against offend
ers.
On this subject Samuel Untermey-
er, an eminent lawyer who recently
delivered an address at Philadelphia
before the Academy of Social Politi-
cal Science, said:
ut has been said-and
think rightly-that the crime
of perjury is committed in at
least three out of every five
cases tried in the courts in which
an issue of fact is involved 1t
has become so general that the
courts regard it almost as a part
of the inevitable accompaniment
of trial"
One trouble, Mr.. Untermeyer
holds, is that the laws of the vari-
Gus states are too severe, and there
fore the crime of perjury is seldom
punished. The maximum penalty
of twenty years Imprisonment for
perjury in a criminal case and of
ten years in civil case renders con-
viction before a jury almost impossi-
BILE.
AS a partial remedy Mr. Inter
meyer suggests that it be made man
datory upon the court to require the
jury, in addition to it's general YER
dict, to answer the question whether
any party or witness has been guilty
of wilful false swearing, and to
name any persons So guilty, and in
the absence of a jury the court to
be required to answer the same ques-
ton Where perjury is charged the
prosecuting officer shall take action.
The knowledge that all parties and
their witnesses will be exposed to
this test as a requirement of the
trial, Mr.. Untermeyer rightly insists,
would act as a powerful deterrent
against perjury in the courts.

it as returning sanity and adds:
Our sister state just across the
Chattahoochee has been one of sew
eral states that have suffered the
consequences of too much reform
and the political agitation incident
thereto during recent years. We
know something about reform can
didates for office and strenuous bust
ness-disturbing, nerve-racking cam
paigns here in Georgia"

MANY HERE APPRECIATE HIM.

From the Oglethorpe Citizen.
The many friends of Mr. NJ N.
Childs regret very much that he was
not successful in his race for repre-
sentative of Terrell county in the leg
islature. Mr. Childs was one of the
most generally esteemed citizens of
Oglethorpe for several years, and he
would have made a record in the
legislature that would have reflected
credit upon Terrell county. But
then, he is young, and his star is
sure to rise again and shine brightly
in the affairs of our sister county.

that if nominated in 1912 Roosevelt

states, including Georgia, beyond the

taken, especially as to Georgia.
