SMILED AS DEATH DREW NEAR.

The American people, or that vast
army of them who had read and re-
read the writings of Mark Twain, had
a personal love for him living and his
memory is cherished as that of few
other writers the country has produc-
ed. Longfellow, the poet of the home
and the freside, has 2 tender, reverent
spot in the memory of all who love
pure sentiment in verse. But no other
authors seem to stand in the same
class as these two, in exactly the same
relation to those who know them
through their works. Each left the
world the better for his having lived
and labored in it.
Twain's overlooking geniality never
was checked. 1t ran in an unbroken
stream to the end The shadow of the
Death Angels wings never dimmed the
twinkle in his eyes or drove the smile
from his face. All this comes out
clearly in recent biography by AL
bert Bigelow Paine. Reviewing 1t,
kindly critic says:
1t is pleasant to observe the deep
and often tender sympathy with which
Mr.. Paine has traced that areer down
to the last memorable days when the
failing man TESTED with Death whose
shadow was upon him. That, indeed,
is a godlike cheerfulness quite new to
this world of ours. This is such a
mysterious disease" he said, near the
end. "If we only had bill of particu-
lars we'd have something to swear at.
Then there were these words of advice
to his biographer concerning the lat
ter's department on reaching the gate
which st. Peter is supposed to guard.
They are the very last he wrote in any
literary effort:
Upon arrival do not speak 70 st.
Peter until spoken to. 1t is not your
place to begin. Do not begin any re-
mark with say When applying for
ticket avoid trying to make converse

GEORGIA SHOULD GIVE WOMEN
THIS RIGHT.

The discovery" has been made that
women are not eligible in Georgia to
election as members of local Board
of Education.
This being the case, the sooner they
are made eligible by legislative enact
ment the better.
The idea of excluding women by law
from serving as members of a Board
of Education is ridiculous.
Women are fully as much interested
in educational matters as men. In
deed, their interest is probably very
much more acute than that of the men,
just as a mothers attachment to her
children is keener and more abiding
than that of the father
There is no reason why such pro-
hibitlon should exist in the Georgia
statutes, why a woman who Is quail
flied, and whose services are desired,
should find the state law barring her
from service in which she might
Irove eminently useful to her commun-
ity.
The Georgia law needs further
revision. We would like to see the
Sumter representatives lead move
ment to confer on women the legal
right to serve the public in the capac-
ity referred to. Sheppard and Wheat
ley arebroad-minded, progressive men.
1t would add no small laurel to their
reputation if they pushed through an
amendment to the code giving women
a right that should never have been
called into question.
The public school system here and
everywhere else in Georgia might well
enlist the sympathetic aid of women of
culture and progressive ideas. 1t is
not perfect, 1t never will be perfect,
but its onward march to a higher stan
dard of usefulness to the public would
be accelerated by the active coopera-
ton of the women in the supervision
of its affairs.

Special editions are the order of the
day in Georgia. The Columbus En-
quirer-Sun and the Athens Banner
have each recently issued magnificent
write7ups of their respective cities,
giving accurate and complete informa-
ton. These special editions are as
much an education for the home folks
as for those residing elsewhere. And
all too frequently the local people
need the education and the stimulus
to force them to appreciate their adj
vantages and opportunities.

WHEN WILL WE GET A STREET
CAR LINE!

In yesterdays Times-Recorder APP
peared a news item telling of the or
ganization of a local company in Val
dosta, with the stock already fully
subscribed, that will construct and
operate a five mile street car belt Gov
e ing the main part of the city and re-
suIting in the opening up of some very
desirable property and the consequent
expansion of the available area for the
home growth of the city.
This news item, meaning so much to
the city of valdosta, naturally suggests
the questions, When will Americas
have a street car line? When will
Anericus be given an opportunity t.
develop aud expand through the en-
j ylnent Of similar transportation fac
iAies?"
yaldosta is a city in the same class
as Americas, of about the same popu-
1ation. the same type of people, the
same property values, the same bust
ness facilities, the same opportunities
Like Americas it has suffered from the
inability to expand its residence sec
ticn. People of moderate means, un-
able TO own automobiles or maintain
horse and carriage, cannot afford to
live far from the business center
where there are no street car lines
But yaldosta, approaching that this is
a serious check to its growth. a per-
sistent hampeging of its progress, pro-
poses to strike down the bars that
have limited its home area and give to
its people an opportunity to move our
and occupy a broader stretch of terri
tory than has heretofore been posi-
bIa. The result will undoubtedly be a
decided stimulus TO the city's growth
We must do the same here If Amer
icus is to grow as its opportunities
otherwise undoubtedly permit. A
street car line is a necessity If the
sesidencs section is to expand. giving
people an opportunity to secure lots at
reasonable prices on which to erect
homes. This opportunity absent home
building goes ON very slowly and the
growth Of the city Is reduced to a min
iinnm.
