THE cHlLpREN,s SONG.

THE CHlLDREN'S SONG.
Father in heaven, who lowest all,
O help the children whea they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.
Teach US to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring, If need arise.
No manned or worthless sacrifice
Teach us to look in all our ends,
On thee for judge, and not our friends:
That we with thee may walk uncowed
BY fear or favor of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that can not
seek
By deed or thought to hurt the weak;
That. under lee, we may possess
Mans strength to comfort mans dis
tress.
Teach us delight In simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs,
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men meath the sun!

The letter came in response to ap-
plication, made some weeks ago, by
by citizens of Sank Centre, to have
the Commission take up the matter
of wye to connect the two railroads
at this point. A wye is much needed
here to accommodate local shippers.
The matter was taken up with the
railroad companies but they declined
to act; so application was then made
to the Commission. The Commercia,
Club will probably take the matter in
hand and appoint a committee to
handle it in detail.

FARMERS MAY GET THE BILL
If Passed Will Carry Their Produce
a Year Without Being Subject
to a State Tax.

MISUNDERSTANDING legislative
sentiment appears to be coming
around to the view that it would be
a good thing to help the farmer by
exempting his products from taxation
for the period of one year from har-
vesting.
A few years ago this proposal was
looked upon in the light of class leg
islation; now everyone is joining in
the movement to render the farmer
every assistance possible in boosting
the price of all his products and par
ticularly cotton.
The opponents Of the measure are
contending that it will not benefit
the small planter, as he has to sell
his cotton anyway in order to keep
in provisions, while it will assist the
large planter to add to his growing
capital.

A NOBLE CITIZEN CALLED.
A Friend Pays Tribute to the Late
Samuel S. Haynes.

Samuel >. haynes.
To chronicle the departure from
loved ones and all earthly care is
something we fain would leave
alone; but the death of Mr.. Samuel
Scrutchens Haynes being felt so
keenly by us, though to write this
tribute be sad duty inasmuch as
he has left us for heavenly surround
ings, his splendid and useful life
calls upon us for expressions of love
and esteem. He was a man of hon
orable convictions, and stood by
them; he esteemed virtue, he ad-
mired true courage, rejoiced in the
reign of righteousness, and gave
great encouragement to the man VINO
preached salvation to a lost world
and told of the Man of Galilee." He
was a devoted husband and father.
in every sense noble and true citi-
zen. For any one to be able to say,
Sam Haynes is a friend OF mine
was an expression of more than ordl-
nary significance. He loved MS
friends and spoke kindly of his enc
mics.
S. S. Haynes was born in Terrell
county August 18th, 1871; died June
3rd, 1912. He was twice married;
first, to Miss Alice Jordan in 1863.
She lived about one year, leaving no
children. May 25th, 1871, he was
married to Miss Catherine R. Gam
mage of Terrell county. AS a result
| of this union two children were CIV
en- to bless them, a son and daugh-
ter. The former died August 18th,
1891. His devoted wife and true
and noble daughter, Mrs. ]. S. Ken
needy, survive him. We could not
pass without speaking of praise for
their untiring, faithful, patient and
| loving service as they ministered &C
| cording to his needs during his six
months of illness, which gradually
but surely led them up to the time
of his departure.
Brother Haynes united with the
Baptist church at Brentwood many
years ago, and was ever faithful to
| his profession. He was one of a
family of ten children-five boys and
five girls-only one of which sur
wives him, Mr.. j. B. Haynes, whose
comfort it was to be with him at the
time of his death. He enlisted as
soldier at the beginning of the
war between the states, and remain
! ed with those who struggled in this
great conflict unto the end. He was
! first sent to Pensacola, Fla, and was
/ ordered from there to West Virginia;
/ joined the Second Georgia cavalry;
served under Forrest and Wheeler
| respectively.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes took Henry
Haynes when he was an infant, hav
ing been given to them by his moth
err, Mrs. Martha Lunday, and provid-
ed for him as one of the family I'M
til he reached his majority.
Thus ends the earthly career of
noble citizen, whose memory we
cherish, recognizing the loss his fam
lily, our community and county 81 8
tains in his death. But our loss is
his eternal gain. We mourn but not
as those without hope, and extend
our sympathy to his loved ones left
behind. S. ]. HARGROVE.

they are much cheaper.

cheaper than the fair quality of la

The thrlftiness of the Suffolk

of Washington haberdashers a few
