not of the narrow and bigoted ekind,
for he was broadminded and patri-
otto enough to know that he serves
his party best who serves his coun-
| try best
1T was his broad craftsmanship
and his intimate knowledge of men
that caused him upon two occasions
in 1904 and 1906-to be placed
at the head of the democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, an
honor worthily bestowed and well de-
served, as the results of his admins
tration demonstrated
1--WE do not claim for him that he
was without fault, but in the great
ness of his virtues the sma1lness of
his faults have today been swallowed
up and lost forever Full we'll, too,
we know that such weakness and
frailties as he had were of the flesh
and not of the heart. If harm they
did it was to him and not to mankind.
His ideals were high, his purpose
was noble and his heart was clean
He stood in the way of no mans sue
cess. He strove to help and not to
hinder His life was useful, and the
memory of it will be helpful and en-
Icouraging in the days to come, for
he taught that the love of humanity
is the highest and noblest of all vir-
tues, and that honesty of life and of
purpose is ever a shield and protec-
ton, both here and hereafter"
Mr.. Adamson Talks of Friend.
Representative Adamson recalled
the fact that Judge Griggs was born
in his district, and said:
Mr.. Speaker: Judge Griggs and |
were constant, warm and intimate
friends ever since our boyhood. He /
was born at LAGRANGE, Ca, in the
district which honors me with it's suf- |
trage. Springing from the best |
Americanized English stock his ad- !
vent into this world was most auspi- /
cious in its location. From the or /
ganization of Troup county, and the !
foundation of LAGRANGE, the county
Seat, both have been celebrated for
the character of population, in point
of refinement Of manners, benevo-
lence of feeling, general intelligence !
and moral worth.
Like Joseph, he was a goodly
person and we'll favored Like Saul,
there was not among the children of |
Israel a goodlier person than he In |
fact, it could be truthfully said of |
him as of Absalom From the sole |
of his feet even to the crown of his
head there was no blemish in him,
and his mental strength and activity |
were in just proportion to his physi- !
cal perfection

Mr.. Edwards Pays Tribute.
Representative Edwards said:

Representative Edwards said:
Judge Griggs was a good man.
and always stood for what was
right. He was man of strong con-
victions and he had the courage of
his convictions. He has left his i'm
press upon the laws of this land, and
has left behind him an enviable rep
utation. In every position of trust
and honor to which the people elect
ed him he proved worthy of their
trust and dignified the position with
his splendid ability and faithful SER
vice.
He was a great lawyer, a great
judge, q scholar and a statesman.
He loved his state, and the people of
that state loved and will miss him.
He loved and served his country, and
his country as far as he was known
loved and hOnored him, and he will
be sadly missed in the councils of
the nation.
When Judge Griggs died the ma
ton lost great man and the party
lost a great democrat. He was as
big-hearted and generous a man as
have ever known. He had the gift
of making and retaining friends, and
he had as many warm, personal
friends in Georgia as any man of his
time. There is no doubt in my mind
that if he had been spared a few
more years his ambition to be gov
.ernor of Georgia would have been
gratified."

A., is one which should be care
fully considered and decided
only after mature deliberation.
Our own opinion is that for
many reasons it should be car
ried on by a local branch of the
Y. M. c. A. This is such an
organization as would insure the
perpetuation of the work begun,
after it's initial founders are out
of service. 1t has this added
advantage that the Y. M. C. A.
has line of work for such in
stitutions which by long trial
has been found to most fully
carry out the work and secure
the results sought.
That must be decided finally
at later date in the develop
ment OF. the work. That il
should receive the active support
of every citizen needs no argu'
ment. That the time for launch
ing the project is propitious nc
one will seriously contradict.

Condition of the Wheat Crop.

Owing to the peculiar weather in
June and the latter part of May
the farmers were very slow to make
estimates of the probable yield of
wheat. Later when the rain came
and there was another change in the
indications the inability to make a
fair approximation of the crop was
increased. However, now that
harvesting is In full progress and
the cutting has revealed what the
stand would make in bulk of stacks,
and the handling of the wheat given
some indication of the character of
the crop, it may be possible to say
something which will be beneficial.
First, the harvest promises to be
strung out over longer period
than usual, for the reason that the
late rains have held back the entire
crop from ripening quickly, thus
allowing the berry to fill we'll. In
addition the rains have livened up
the late sown fields which before
were threatened with ripening too
quickly. That will tend also to
lengthening the harvesting the har-
vest season.
The dailies recently gave Mr..
Coburns estimate for this county.
Mr.. Coburn says that there is 49,
2o7 acres of wheat in Meade coun-
ty and that its condition was then
SO per cent of full crop. His,
Mr.. Coburn's estimates are always
conservative and generally nearly
correct. The assessors from whose
reports Coburns estimates are made
rarely get the full amount of acres
in any given crop in the county. 1t
follows therefore that the number
of acres given is not too large. A
full crop believe in Coburn's estl-
mate for this county is IaH BUSH
els to the acre. At SO per cent of
full crop then he figures our crop at
about 10 bushels the acre, very
nearly one million busheles. To be
exact 73a6ao. Now since his re-
port was sent In the condition, es-
pecially oflate wheat, and spring
wheat has improved wonderfully.
1t is then safe to conclude that
Meade county will produce this year
if there is no change in condition
from now until the crop is threshed,
right at one million bushels of
wheat. So far as we have heard
there is only one condition which
1 will lower the grade from the usual
high standard of the county and
that is that in some fields there is a
considerable amount of smut. But
this will not be so general as to In
jure the grade as whole to any
great extent. With a population Of
only 4872, Meade county with
round about one million bushels Of
good wheat is not likely to suffer
for lack Of bread for a year.

The Stockholders Meeting.

While the above report was
made expressly to be submitted
to the stockholders meeting on
Tuesday and is purely busi-
ness matter for them to consider
and is not directly useful to our
readers, yet we believe they will
be interested in knowing that
the paper is doing well and
making some money. When the
present owners of The News
took charge of the property
there was not a man among them
who was a practical newspaper
man. Three old farmers, one
professional man, one merchant
and one real estate man constr
tuted the board of directors and
the editor. The neighboring'
press had nothing but kind
words for the paper, which
seemed to us out the natural
pity of the ordinary man for one
afflicted. 1t is not likely that
one of the old wheel horses Of
the craft expected the paper to
last ninety days. Here at home
| it was looked upon in the nature
of a Joke. 1t was given as adj
wee to the air, "that Philander,
son, you can't run $500 paper
in a 50 cent town"
There is where the difference
comes in. The men who pur-
chased The News and fitted it
up as a first class Office for
country work were each and all
firmly of the opinion that Meade
was not and is not fifty cent
town. The result has amply
justified their faith. There was
no desire that the paper should
show profit above running ex-
penses. The men who put their
money into it wanted a paper for
the town, one which existed pri-
marily for the town and county,
and not for the benefit of any
political party or clique of men.
There being no intention of rum
ming the paper for any except to
build it up and make the inter
ests of the county and city its
first care, the fact that all ol
these things we're accomplished
and good profit earned above
that is very gratifying. This
result is wholly due to the yea
and untiring devotion OF the
board of directors to the busi'
ness, and especially to the efforts
of Mr.. J. B. Innis, the business
manager.
The directors expect to carry
forward the good work of las
year in this one, and make the
paper growing power for gooC
in the county and city. Tha

as committee to consider ways
and means to secure place of
healthy, mental and physical re-
sort for amusement and the i'm
provement of mind, body and in
telect, Rev. w. G. Baker, D. P.
Wysong, w. F. Casteen, S. H.
Morrow and A. II. Bodle Jr.
With that duty was coupled the
further duty of deciding in what
form this benifcent purpose
could best be accomplished.
That is, should some local or
ganization be formed to secure
funds, and erect building,
equip it and manage the enter
prise, or should an organization
of the Y. M. C. A. be formed
here and this work be turned
over to that body,
That the town has been remiss
at all times in the past in its
duty to the young men and la
dies of the town, so far as fur
nishing healthy amusement, in
teresting and instructive reading
and especially in providing forms
of entertainment for the idle
moments, which would keep
them from unhealthy forms of
relaxation needs no argument.
That is to say that the town has
never in any manner tried to
guard the young in their hours
of play. 1t is well to consider
this subject seriously, and with
a view to performing this civic
duty which is incumbent on
every community.
The committee decided that it
was best to take the pubic into
their confidence, and by discus
sion allow public sentiment to
take some certain direction,
after which a recommendation
could be made with some degree
of assurance, that it would meet
with such support as would Sc
cure the end sought. In ac-
cordance with this decision the
newspapers of the town were
i called to the assistance of the
II committee.
II In the past as before said
II Meade has never as a munich
pality or community, taken any
step to safeguard the play hours
of its girls and boys. Those
! who are just getting too old for
Z, spinning tops or trundling toy

enough to take an active respon'
sible position in society or the
duties of citizenship. At this
!, critical age this town has left
|
the young to seek such recrea
; tion as they could invent, or as
: was suggested by those who
were interested in such child
! ren, from money point of view
Their reading has been left
= largely to such books and papers
: as happened to come to hand.
n Their evenings must either
be spent alone or on the stree

only interest taken in the young
men and maidens of that age
Il was of the restrictive character
4 and that not very closely drawn
is due the fact that some hayt
