Senator Clay has been In the United
States Senate since 1896, having been
chosen 10 succeed Gen. John 3. Gordon.
He was very popular in Georgia, and II is
doubtful II any man could have defeated
him before the PEOPLE
Gov. Brown viii probably name former
Gov. Joseph NJ. Terrell or Editor r.
Pendleton, Of the Macon Telegraph, to fH

o'clock yesterday afternoon

where physicians found he was suffering
from a wound which may be fatal. The
bullet, which was of .S2-caIiber. penetrated
the skull about two inches over the cen
ter Of the forehead. The lead broke and
scattered. -Four pieces were extracted.
but il is believed several other small
pieces are still IN the brain.
Ball was conscious at intervals and
was able TO talk. He asked whether he
would live. and said he had tried to kin
himself. II is probable another attempt
will be made 10 extract the pieces of
lead. BY probing. physicians found that
the particles were buried deep in the
brain.
Sought by Police.
AS his wife was the only witness Of
the shooting. little has been Learned of
the attempted suicide Mrs. Ball dis
appeared a short time after her husband
was removed to the hospital. and. al
though the police made a search for her,
they were unable 20 learn her where
abouts. 1t is believed she went TO the
home Of a relative living in Fourteenth
street northeast.
Ball and his wife have been consid-
cred a happily married couple by rela-
tives and neighbors, and so far as has
been learned they never quarreled. But
when the husband returned home yester-
day afternoon. after visiting friends. he
found his wife dressed for the street. He
went TO his room and removed his hat,
coat. overcoat. and gloves. and appeared
downstairs clad in his shirt sleeves.
Suddenly Pulls Revolver.
Mrs. Ball was in the kitchen and the
husband went to her. He asked her if
she was still determined to go out. and
when she replied affirmatively. 1t is said.
he suddenly drew a revolver from his
pocket, pointed It at his head, and pulled
the trigger. He fell to the floor and
Mrs. Ball ran to the front door, calling
to neighbors for help.
a boy was sent to the office OF DR..
George II. Magee. at 6O4 II street north

Was Born ON a Farm.

Alexander Stephens Clay, Of Marietta,
Cobb County. Ga, was born September
., 1853, on farm in Cobb County. Ca;
received his primary and preparatory ed
ucation in the country schools and the
high school at Palmetto, Ga; was grad
uated fross Hiawassse College in 1915:
taught school for two years; studied Law
under Judge David Irwin, OF Marietta,
and was admitted 10 the bar in September
1871 and had been engaged actively IN
the practice OF law up TO the time OF his
election 10 the United States Senate.
He was elected a member of the city
council in 1880. and reelected in 1871; in
1SS4-5 and 1867 represel ted Cobb County
in the general assembly OF the State: In
the latter term was elected speaker DR.,
tempore; was reelected for 1880 and
served as speaker two years IN 1892 he
was elected 10 the State senate and
served as president Of that body for two
years.
In 1894 he was elected chairman of the
State Democratic executive committee
and held the position for three years,
declining reelection. He was elected 10
the United States Senate 10 succeed Hon
John r. Gordon in October, 1886, for the
term beginning March 1, 1897. was re-
elected in 1903 and again in 1909 His
service would have expired March 5, 1915.
Taxed His Strength.
The death of Senator Clay. OF Georgia.
was undoubtedly hastened by a consci-
entious conception of his duty as pub
lie servant and his devotion TO his work
as member OF the Senate The Georgia
Senator was a very sick man at the be
ginning OF, the Congressional session
nearly a year ago. and he took up his
work in Washington contrary TO the ad-
vice Of his physicians and friends in the
Senate, who tried 10 persuade him TO go
away from the scene Of official life and
take long rest.
The fact that he was only one Of two
among Democratic members OF the ApprO-
priations Committee not on the hospital
list WAS responsible for Senator Clay's
decision 10 stick TO his post. II so hap
pened that all the Democrats on the
Appropriations Committee, with the ex-
ception of Senator Foster, OF Louisiana,
were Ill. The late Senator Daniel, Of Vir-
sinia, was an invalid; Senator TiIlman.
of South Carolina. was the victim OF a
stroke of paralysis. and Senator Cul0er-
son was not in the Senate at the last
session by reason OF illness.
His constant attendance at committee
hearings and frequent discussion Of ap-
bills on the floor OF the Sen
ate, which were characterized by appeals
for economy, taxed his strength, and
when Senator Clay left here, following
the adjournment OF Congress. his friends
realized that his condition was serious.
In addition TO being a member of the
and Post-ofiice commit
tees, Senator Clay was chairman OF the
Woman Suffrage COMMITTEE. He had
expected TO submit to the Senate at this
session an unfavOrable report upon the
bills for woman suffrage.
, In the death OF Senator Clay the Dem
ocrats lose one OF their strongest menl-
bers of the Upper House of Congress.

TaE NEEDS OF THE YOUNG

Your children are apt TO think that
what you do is right. They have no
ideal of truth or righteousness but
yourself. Things which you do, know
ing at the time to be wrong, they take
to be right. They reason this way:
Father always does right. Father
did this. Therefore this is right"
That is good logic but bad premises.
No one ever gets over having had a
bad example set him. Your conduct
more than your teaching makes inn
preston. Your laugh, your frown,
your dress, your walk, your greetings,
your goodbys, your comings, your 60
ings, your habits at the table, the
tones of your voice are making an
impression which will last a million
years after you are dead and the sun
will be extinguished and the noun
tains will crumble, and the world will
die, and eternity will roll on in per-
petual cycles, but there will be no
diminution of the force of your con-
duct upon the young eyes that saw it
or the young ears that heard it.

And feel the warm suns glow:
1t minds me of crystal stream,
Where wild daisies grow.
It minds me of the hours spent there,
With other boys at play,
And how the ash perfumed the air
And how the birds sang gay.
And, oh, | was so very glad
To leave my childhood home
(Why do the birds here sing SO sad,
Why does the river moan?)
Wonder if the gay birds miss me
From round that crystal stream?
Wonder if the old home looks like
see it in my dreams?
Oh, dreams are bright in life's spring
time,
Like red plums on the tree,
But one must work in the springtime,
Or fruits he'll never see,
SO work on. work on, while you dream
Like busy bees of May,
For work brings forth golden fruit,
Dreams brighten lifo's pathway.
My LIES springtime will fade away
As the mist Ger the sea,
But | must work while dream,
Sweet dreams that never can be.
The sweetest flowers fade away
In a short day or two;
The sweetest dreams are sad, sweet

Sweet dreams that yer come true.

All How many fields of labor are

laborers; that ara not full up with
the best of men and women who are
willing and able to work?
Then, my young friends are you able

Can you prepare yourself in one year?
If so, there'll be a place ready for you.
If you cannot get ready in one, two or

If so, the place will be ready. Then,
why not begin at once to be successful
and to achieve something great and
honorable? Young man, young woman

your own cause? If so, 90 into the

lending a helping hand to those around
you, having Success written on your
pennon; and working to a mark of
high calling. If you decide that there
is something for you to do, let not the
evening sun 90 down and find you in
despair, for "Where there is a will,

All. What a grand thing it would be
for the youth of to-day could they only
see the work that lies undone for want
of a "hustlcr," 1t matters not how

yourself honorable and receive your

down on the stool of do-nothing and
beat against the stings of folly and sin
while my brethren are mastering
amid songs of triumph for the battle

Then we should SOW seeds of the best
