THIRTY-FIVE YEARS A SUNDAY

We are indebted to DR.. Gross
Alexander, our Book Editor and
Editor of the Methodist Review
for the following valuable sketch
of Brother Breeding and his
work:
A few years ago | had the
privilege of spending a few days
in the home of an exceptional
man and an exceptional family.
Their home was located in the
lap of a groupe of heaven-kissing
schools in a picturesque part of
Kentucky. The name of the
man was Breeding, and the name

factory.
Quite a painful accident hap
pened last Friday evening. While
coming home from a social gath
ering Mark Holladay's horse slip
ped, falling on his foot, causing
a very bad hurt, but at this writ
ing he is getting along nicely.
Misses Estelle Willis and Nell
Tupman have arrived from Ca,
where they have been engaged
in teaching. Both ladies are ex-
cellent teachers, and we are glad
to have them with us again.
Miss Allye Garrett visited Miss
Willard Huffaker last Saturday
and Sunday, also attended the
lawn party given by Miss Min
ME Kate Tupman
Misses Mabel and Irene Muir
rell, of Craycraft, visited rela-
tives at this place last Saturday
and Sunday.
A social was given at the home
of Mr.. John Jones last Friday
evening. A large crowd was
present and all reported a nice
time.
We hope to have one of the
best county schools in this coun-
ty, with Miss Bessie Epperson,
a fine and experienced teacher
to help in the work, l say help
because a teacher alone can not
make a success without the help
and good will of the patrons.
We hope all the children will be
forced to attend part of this term
anyway as the law requires.
If the work does not meet the
parents approval they should
think before finding fault with
the teacher, as every one has
different ideas of subjects, but
visit the school and see what,
and how things are done as it is
the duty of every parent of the
district, and the teacher will de-
light in the interest that is being
taken, then we will have one of
best schools as that is what we
want and need.

SHOULD BE NO FACTIoNAL1sM.

The Mancon News evidently thinks
Senator Smiths strong endorsement
of Governor Wilson for president
may hurt the New Jersey man with
many of the voters of Georgia, for
in a two-column editorial broadside
it declares that Joe-Hoke factional-
ism should not influence any man in
determining his choice for the
presidency. We agree heartily with
our Macon contemporary. We do not
believe that either one of these wor-
thy gentlemen should attempt to
control the people of Georgia in ma
tional politics. They are capable of
deciding for themselves who they
want for president, and whenever
any of their high officials, even a
United States senator, presumes to
dictate to them they may be depend
ed upon to resent it.
Let the people rule.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE.

1t is said that on the door of a
hospital in a certain city is the sign:
IF you can't smile don't come in. -
There are smiles and smiles, but
of course that sign means the smile
which stands for the best things in
life, not the kind that irritates, but
the kind which cheers and inspires
and stimulates and nourishes. Who
ever conceived of that sign was not
far from being a good physician,
though he may have been serving az
janitor. Better than medicine is the
smile of friendship to those who who
are set apart by their infrmities.
And the smile of cheer and helpful
ness is not only the passport to the
hospital, but to all the world if we
but knew it. Some one has remark
ed who is beyond the ministry of
a kindly smile? 1t is tonic to the
discouraged. 1t helps the little child
for whom the world holds so much
that makes afraid, and it cheers the
aged who find life unspeakably lone
ly. AS King Arthur's court was built
by music so the happier life we all
hunger for here upon earth is built
in large part by the cheerful faces
we see as we bear the load appointed
for rs"

LOCAL SCHOOL TAXATION.

A Georgia school directory just
published shows that twenty-seven
counties in the state have adopted
the local school tax system. They
are: Ben Hill, Bib, Burke, Chat
ham, Coffee, Columbia, Crisp, Ech-
OILS, Emanuel, Fulton, Glynn, Han
cock, Irwin, Jenkins Jones, Monroe,
Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, Quit
man, Randolph, Richmond Screven,
Spalding, Terrell, Tiff and Wayne.
1t is announced that a fight for
local taxation for the entire state
will be launched at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature, and that the
movement will have back of it some
of the most prominent educators and
politicians in Georgia.
Here in Terrell county some oppo-
sition has arisen to the system of To-
cal taxation, and petitions are being
circulated and signatures obtained
asking the Ordinary to call an cleo
tion and submit the question of its
repeal to the voters. One petition
has already been filed in the Office of
the Ordinary, and others are yet
being circulated. 1t will require the
names of three hundred or more
qualified voters to have an election

CLARK's HOUND DOG SONG.

The Ozark "Houn' Dawg" song
has been adopted by the Champ
Clark supporters at the democratic
state convention in Missouri as the
official song for his campaign for the
presidency. The boomers began
singing it when they first came to
the meeting, and say they are going
to sing Champ Clark into the white
house with it. Here are the two
stanzas which were adopted:
Every time l come to town
The boys start kickin' my dawg
arOun';
Makes no difference if he is a houn'
They gotta quit kicking my dawg
aroun'.
"Chaw de meat and save de bone,
OF Blue Neck lives on Tallyhone.
Makes no difference if he is houn ,
You gotta quit kickin' my dawg
aroun'
When Speaker Clark's name was
mentioned in the convention the del
egates stood up and began singing
the 'dawg" song. Missouri papers
are offering prizes for the discovery
of the author.

THE FUNERAL OF THE MAINE,

The United States and Cuba have
arranged for impressive funeral SER
vices over the remains of sailors re-
covered from the wreck of the bat
tleship Maine, and services will also
be held over the hulk of the battle
ship itself. Shortly after March 4th
it is expected the twisted mass which
has lain thirteen years in Havana
harbor mud will be towed out into
the Gulf of Mexico and sunk. The
armored cruiser North Carolina and
the scout cruiser Birmingham, with
the recovered skeletons aboard, will
convey the Maine to her final resting
place. AS the two cruisers take the
wreck out into the gulf the batteries
of the North Carolina will roar out a
salute of twenty-one guns. The
shore batteries of Cuba will answer
as the procession steams out to sea.
When deep water is reached crews
will be called to quarters, a funeral
maj I'll VIII NC pldyeu, JuIee NOll6yS
will be fired, and when all that is left
of the Maine disappears a bugIer will
sound taps Then the Carolina and
the Birmingham, with colors at half
mast, will steam away for Hampton
Roads. There the remains of the
sailors will be transferred from the
North Carolina to the Birmingham
which will take them to Washington
for burial in Arlington national GEM
etery with military honors.
President Gomez has issued a de-
cree calling for elaborate ceremonies
in Havana as the ships leave the
harbor.

A MANS WORTH.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The universe is not big enough to
illustrate the difference between
what some men think they are worth
and what a German scientist is GER
tain even the huskiest six-footer is
worth. He values the fat in a HUI
man body weighing $50 pounds at
$3.50. The iron would hardly make
an eight-penny nail. The lime and
phosphorus would furnish the heads
of about 1900 matches. The mag
nesium would secure a moderate dis
play Of fireworks The albumen
equals that in a hundred eggs. Then
there are tablespoonful of sugar
and a pinch of salt. In short, an or
binary man or woman is worth about
$3.50. Presumably the German sci
enlist is too literal or corporal in
his point of view to remember the
value of our labor with our hands
and brains.

ERROR RELEASES
MILLIONS,

A Boston dispatch says that Judge
Braley of the supreme court of Mas
sachusetts has issued a decree order
ing the state treasurer to turn over
to the Supreme Council of the Royal
Arcanum between $5,OO0,000 and
$6,OO0,OO0 in securities which had
been deposited with the treasurer as
a guarantee fund. Judge Braley ex-
pressed an opinion that in re-enact-
ing the old laws the Legislature did
not intend to release the securities,
but mistake in phraseoIogy in the
statute of 1911 brought about that
result.
That reminds one so much of the
Georgia legislature, the distinguish
ing feature of which at it's last ses-
sion was the large number of errors
that crept into important measures.
Much of the time of the approaching
session will be spent in patching
poorly made laws.

MIR. UNDERWOOD.

Formal announcement was made
Saturday that Hon. Oscar w. Under
wood of Alabama, the democratic
leader in congress, is candidate for
the nomination of his party for pres
ident, and headquarters to advance
his interests have been opened in
Washington with Senator John H.
Bankhead of Mr.. Underwoods state
in charge. 1t is gratifying to note
that, unlike the campaign of another
democrat who is seeking the nominal
ton for president, Congressman I'm
derwood's campaign will be conduct
ed on high plane, and there will be
no abuse, Misrepresentation or effort
to discredit other aspirants. In a
statement to the people of the coun-
try Mr.. Bankhead says:
Il wish the people of the coun-
try to know that we expect to go in
on the strength of our candidate,
his high character, his well-train-
ed leadership, his perfect sanity and
poise and his fidelity, both to his
friendship and also to the great
and time-hOnored principles of the
democratic party. If we are una
BILE to win save through anony-
nous and unsigned attacks on other
candidates then We do not expect
or even care, to win. Indeed, un-
der such circumstances we would
not deserve to win. In all we do it
will never be forgotten that there
is a certain comfy due between
candidates of the same party, and
that after the nomination we must
be in position to fight a common
political enemy"
In his trying and responsible po-
sition in congress Mr.. Underwood
has proven his ability as a statesman
and leader, and if the campaign of
the democrats is to be waged with
the tariff instead of passing fads and
progressive" isms as the paramount
issue Mr.. Underwood would be the
logical standard bearer of the party.
Being from an adjoining state, the
only SOutherner who is a candidate
and of admitted ability he will, of
course, receive a very large vote in
Georgia. 1t would be a neighborly
and graceful act to give him the del
egates from this state.
