MAcAuLEYs PREDICTION.

In January, 1857, ID. S. Randall OF
New York sent Lord Macauley a
Life of Jefferson by himself. Mac
auley had a poor opinion OF Jefferson
as statesman, and in acknowledging
the receipt of the book commented
upon Jefferson and democratic gov
eminent. The letter closed signirf-
cantly as follows:
THE time will come when New
England will be as thickly peopled as
old England. Wages will be as low
and will fluctuate as much with You
as with us. You have your Manches-
tiers and your Birminghams and in
those cities hundreds OF thousands of
artisans will sometimes be out of
work. Then your institutions will be
fairly brought to the test. Distress
everywhere makes the laborer mutt
nous and disconnected, and inclines
him to listen with eagerness to agr.
tators who tell him that it is mon
strous iniouity that one man should
have q million, while another cannot
get a full meal. Through such ses-
sons of distress the United States will
have to pass the course of the next
century. If not IN this. How will you
pass through them? ] heartily wish
YOU a good deIiverance. But my rea-
son and my wishes are at war, and

always a minority, absolutely at its

.OCh. ULGEE RIVER is
over FLOOD HEIGHT
indications That 1t Will Rise
Above all Previous Marks

Macon, Ga, March 15.-At o'clock
this afternoon the Ocmulgee river at
this point had risen above the flood
stage, and with rain still pouring in
torrents in certain sections of Macon
it bids fair to rise to an even more
dangerous stage by morning.
Perhaps the greatest danger so far
reported as a result of the rise in the
river is in that section of the city
north of the Spring street bridge
where several tenant house on the east
side of the stream have been mum
dated, and the bridge itself is report
ed to be in danger of being washed
away. County Road Superintendent
Wimbish, however, is now at work
Strengthening the bridge, and it is
hoped to save the structure.
The river is now at the highest point
reached here in years, and still rising
and while little apprehension is fell
for the lives of persons living in the
low lands along the banks, it is certain
that the property damage will be large
as already many cattle have been cut
from escape and drowned in the swol-
len waters.

ST. PATRICK'S
DAY TO COME
ON TOMORROW
LOYAL irish TO Celebrate
By Wearing Of the Green and
Other Ways

AS st. Patrick's Day comes this
year on Sunday every loyal son OF
Erin will celebrate the natal day OF
his patron saint not only today, but
also on Monday. So there will in
reality be two ST. Patricks days this
year.
The wearing of the green will be
very much in evidence today whe.-
ever an Irishman is, and shamrocks,
both real and artificial, will adorn
the lapels of many coat Already a
touch of green is on the trees in an
ticipation of the coming of the day,
and many touch of that color SO
loved by Irish hearts will be seen to-
day.
While the sons of Erin are not num-
erous in Americas, still there are
some here who will observe the day
in an appropriate manner. Every con-
vivial soul, whether it be Irish or not
eagerly takes advantage of St. Pat
rick's day in order to celebrate.

PATHETIC DEVOTION OF
BLIND BOY TO BROTHER

Atlanta, March l5.7The devotion OF
9 blind boy to his hayward brother is
being shown in pitiful way at the
Fulton cnuoty Jail.
E. J. Robinson, negro was con-
victed of burglary yesterday in the
police court. After he was sentenced
the blind brother, John Robinson, beg
ged permission to accompany his
brother to the jail, They spent the
night in the same cell, and now the
blind boy, though he has a home and
other relatives who would care for
him, is begging piteously that he be
permitted to serve out the whole sen
tence with his brother. He would
rather be with him in Jail than free
without him. Under the rules of the
Jail the request will probably have to
be refused.

IS GRACE'S STATEMENT
TO Be USED IN TRIAL?
AdmiSSibiIity Of Evidence is
Important Point

Atlanta, March 15.-All interest in
the Grace case now centers around
whether or not Eugene Grace's dying
statement, accusing his wife of killing
him, can be used against her in court
That she will go to trial on a charge
of murder is now considered a set
teled fact The prosecuting attorneys,
Solicitor Hugh Dorsey, Reuben R.
Arnold and Lamar Hill, declare pos
itively that the dying declaration is
legally admissible, and contend in
addition that outside of it they have a
complete chain of circumstantial evil
dence sufficient to convict before &
reasonable jury.
On the other hand the attorneys for
the defense, John w. Moore and Luth-
err 2. Rosser declare that the dying
statement is not admissible, and fur
Their stress teh fact that there is not
not one iota in the statement or out OF
it, of direct evidence against Mrs
Grace There is great mass of evil
dence, but it is all circumstantial.
If no other evidence comes to light
either for or against Mrs. Grace, and
the case goes to trial as it now
stands, laws of eevidence will play
an important part in the conclusion
and the trial will probably be one of
the greatest legal battles ever waged
in the United States Leading coun-
sci on both sides is recognized as
among the brilliant talent of the
Southern bar. Rube Arnold, Luther
Rosser and John Moore are among
the heavy weights" of the Atlanta
bar, while the solicitor, Hugh Dorsey
and the other young attorney for the
prosecution, Lamar Hill, are recogniz-
ed as among the brightest of the
younger lights.

OLD CARRIAGE HORSE OF
GOVERNOR GAMBLER DIES

Gainesville, March 15.-The death

late Governor Allen Gambler, is rem

his last owner, has worked the horse
for more than ten years himself.

WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?

More and more serious grows the
matter of weather conditions as they
affect the farmers of Sumter county
and this entire section. 1t had been
thought that the rains were over re-
Gently, but those that have fallen
the last day or two have had consider
able effect in adding to the amount
of rainfall that had been experienced
before.
The weather in the matter of rain
fall since the beginning of the year
has probably no equal in the history
of the city in recent years. Not only
do the reports from farmers them
selves but the report of the various
fertilizer manufacturers here show
that there has been great reduction
in fertilizers sold. Farmers in many
instances have been unable to have
delivered the fertilizers they have
bought, while in other instances they
simply have not bought fertilizers on
account of the fact that they have not
broken up the land to place the fer
tilizer on.
1t remains without doubt that the
large supply of fertilizer to be used
this year will be pretty largely in eX-
cess of that employed last year, or
in almost any normal year for crops in
this community This means also that
there will be smaller cotton acreage
in the county this year than last the
reduction to be made as an inevitable
result of the inability of the farmers
to cultivate as much cotton as usual on
account of the late start they are COM
relied to make in their farming OPP
erations. 1t is not necessary to re-
duce the cotton acreage in Sumter
by pledges, for the weather has re
duced it already. And the weather
may make a still further reduction.
With normal weather conditions af-
ter the cessation OF the present rains,
it will be possible for the farmers to
make up the work in which they are
now so far behind. 1t is only in the
promise Of normal conditions, how
ever, that can be found the necessary
encouragement for the growth of a
paying cotton crop. 1t is believed that
such conditions will come within q
very short time. The excessive rain
fall cannot last much longer If nor
NAL rains will only come during tho
planting and growth of the cotton
crop, then the cotton crop for 1912
will be made sure. 1t is to this that
every farmer is looking forward with
a great deal of hope and with an Opti-
mish that even this record-breaking
weather cannot quench.

Dawson Flour Mill.

% Dawson, Ga, March 15.-Dawson is
to have a -four mill. This announce
ment has been made by Mr.. ]. R. Mer-
Ger, who has definitely decided to
erect a three-stand roller mill on his
farm just outside of the city 1t will
be equipped with the latest and best
machinery and will have capacity
of Is bushels per hour. The mill will
be ready for operation within the next
sixty days.
A number of citizens have been rails
ing their own -four, and with this con-

will stimulate an interest in wheat
growing. Some of the farmers have
already put aside a definite portion
for each pillow to be sowed in wheat.

Mr.. Hudson believes that the fec
system should be abolished and suit
able salaries paid to all officials. This
is the next reform that is to come in
Georgia. The people want it and they
will get it. Referring to this the
Augusta Herald insists that "If all o.
Georgia's counties were to abolish
the fee system and pay all county
officials salaries, it is estimated thai
the change would add 1000 convicts
to the road working gangs of the
state and this would mean 700 miles
year more to Georgia's new high.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
By DR.. 7. ]. ALLEN
Food Specialist
FRUIT SUGAR HELPS IN
HEART DISEASE.

An English physician, DR..
Goulston, has discovered that
fruit sugar is of great value in
the treatment of heart disease.
Glycogen, or muscle sugar, is
consumed in all muscular exer-
else. Starch must be converted
into this form of sugar in the
system before it can be utilized,
and furnishing form of sugar
ready for assimilation readily
supplies the heart and other
muscles, while relieving the d.
gestVe system of the strain of
digesting heavier foods. Milk
sugar is a large component of
the infants food. This discov-
cry supports the contention fire.
quentIy stated in these Hints
that so per cent. of an ideal diet
should be fruit sugar or form
of starch or sugar easily con-
Verteo into muscle sugar, and
explains the reason of the re-
markabIe Improvement made by
young athlete who was ad-
Vised to adopt an exclusive diet
of bananas before and during a
severe test of physical endur-
ance. The starch of rice is more
easily converted into muscle
sugar than that of other cereals
or of potatoes, but fresh figs,
dates, raisins and bananas are
still better. But these should
not be mixed with heavy foods
and especially not with flesh
meat

If every county in the Third Dis.
trict goes for Underwood or Clark
they are not to have any representa-

absorb the entire state, even though
the opposition candidates have al.
most twice as many votes as he re-
ceived. They call this Democracy!
And Wilson says he is working to re-

INSURANCE MEN TALK
ABOUT SOUTH'S PROSPERITY

Atlanta, March 15.-The basic prin-
ciples and causes of the South's pres
ent prosperity will be analysed and
discussed at a conference of fire in
surance men from all sections OF
Dixie, to be held here next week
The visitors will include officials OF
leading Southern companies to the
number of a score or more, and At
lanta representatives will also take
part in the gathering.
Particular emphasis will be laid at
this meeting on the growth through
out the South OF the economic prin-
ciple of patronizing home industries
and keeping money at home Fire in
surance business will be used as a
basis for a general consideration of
the situation. The insurance men, ell
ated over the fact that the healthy
growth of their own Southern institu-
tons has proven the truth of their
views in the insurance field, are OF
the opinion that the growth reflects
the general prosperity of the section.
A very few years ago practically
all fire insurance premiums in the
South were paid into Northern and
Eastern companies, representing IA
steady drain on the money actually in
circulation in the South Now the
people have learned the reliability ana
solidity of the Southern companies
