LITTLE AUBREY MELVIN EDGE.

IL | LIZ AUBREY MELVIN EDGE
1t was early in the morning
That his spirit slipped away,
Leaving pale and cold behind it.
Its tenement of clay.
1t was early in the morning
That he heard the shepherd call,
And stole away to meet him
Where no tempests ever fall.
1t was early in life's morning,
For his second spring had come;
He was born midst budding flowers,
Midst full blown flowers went home
He himself was but a flower
Budding here on human sod,
Bright and lovely, full of promise,
Fit for the Paradise OF God.
Fair and tender, how all loved him.
God the Father loved him too;
So the angels came and took him,
Bore him up among the true.
Aching hearts were left behind him,
Joyous hearts received him home
Now he waits for those who sorrow
And he beckons to them, Come!
So let tears be dried o loved ones,
Let hope possess the heart,
You shall find again your Melvin
Up where Gods own never part.
He is not dead but liveth,
And he waits and looks for you.
Be We steadfast, then submissive,
Ever faithful, ever true.
A FRIEND.

Famous Football OFFICIALLY

II OLLOW lNG the general pro-
r. gram of staging the more
important contests for late
dates, to-day marks the settling OF
championship hopes for several foot
ball aspirants. In fact, this is prob
ably the most important day to date
in the football calendar both North
and South, and before the setting of
to-day's sun, may be witnessed the
elimination Of more than one squad
that has been counted an odds-on
favorite for first honors.
In the South the big contest will
take place right here in Atlanta. Au-
burn, bold villagers of the Alabama
plains, will hook up with Heisman's
Yellow Jacketed hosts. This battle
will be the big show in Dixie.
In the first place neither of these
teams has suffered defeate either by
team in this section or by an in
vader. What is more, neither has al
lowed it's goal line to be crossed to
date. At the final blast of the whistle
in to-day's battle, one of these spIen-
did aggregations will be wallowing in
the mire of defeat, while the other
will have laid a rock ribbed founda-
ton for first hoTiors in Dixie, barring,
of course, the bare possibility of a
tie.
In case Auburn wins, the Alabama
squad will appear to have pretty
smooth sailing on through her two re-
naming games with Georgia and
Vanderbilt. This statement is ven
tured because Of the fact that Au-
burn has shown a stubborn defense
at all times against straight, hard
football, and Tech can be counted on
to bring into the game all kinds or
strategy and maneuverlng to of set
this rigid defense against the straight
game Furthermore, if Auburn wins,
She will have an added confidence,
born of the knowledge that she can
do things. which will mean much in
her two games to follow.
should the Jackets win, it is likely
that their future opponents from
Athens and Clemson will find 1t very
dihicult to bowl them over. The Jack
Its are largely a new team, and such
a victory will mean much. For this
reason. it is to be expected that they
will be in the game fighting like mad
from beginning to end.
Both teams will enter the game
shy a bit of their full resources, ow-
ing to the loss of players from phys
zeal disabilities. Auburn Will lose
Lockwood and Taylor, while Tech will
be unable TO use Fielder or Johnston.
Either of these, if thrown into the
breach at the right time might serve
TO stem the tide for his team. In
this respect therefore, both appear
! to be on about an equal footing. The
game is likely to depend very strong
| ly on the spirit in which the two
/ enter the fray. The team which takes

! s!asm, is going to register an ad-

TIP at Nashville, Tennessee has a
chance to shove Vanderbilt
down among the ALSO rams" for good
and all. The Commodores are ad-
mittedly in very poor shape, due to
the loss from the line of Tom Brown
and Morgan. However, they still
have hopes of redeeming themselves,
and the Volunteers are likely TO find
the most bitter lighting team that
they have met this year, when they
tackle McGuin's misfits.
In case Vanderbilt wins, she will
still have chance for final consider
alton. Despite the two singing de-
feats, they have yet to suffer defeat
from a real Southern team. They,
therefore, feel that there is still much
left to battle for. Should they come

much to aid their showing against
Auburn.

team took the measure of the Nassau
Tigers last fall. This year, with that
dazzling trio, Brickley, Mahan and

Not much is to be expected from in
augurals as rule; first, because a
President may have high hopes of do
ing much when he begins, but may not
be able to accomplish great things af-
ter all IT was so with Cleveland,
and it was so with Roosevelt, whose ac-
complishments were chiefly effective to-
ward advancing his own demagogic per.
sonal influence. Lincoln, whose in
augural was the shortest of all, the
least in the way of promise, the most
charitable and considerate of all, al
most deprecatory in tone, resulted in
the most splendid, brilliant achieve
ments of any. Second, President is
too often Switched off, in mere
routine and office-tilling.
President Wilson has doubtless high
anticipations Of the good he may do
to his countrymen during his term of
office; and we would not have his en-
thusiasm dampened by even a spray of
floating mist. But he laid out a very
large programme; and Presidents, as
rule, do not find themselves able to
work up to specifications. If President

TWENTY-sEVENTH PRESIDENT

Newspapers throughout the country
have been asked by correspondence
what number President Wilson is in the
Presidency. The answers have varied
some newspapers saying that he is the
twenty-eighth President, others that he
is the twentyseventh. The fact ,s
that he is the tventy-seventb for
dual terms do not count. There has
never been any attempt to count Presi-
dents Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson or Grant twice he.
cause they were twice elected Prcs
dent, but in each case the President
succeeding himself was counted simply
once. Thus, Washington was not the
first and second President, but the first
Jefferson wns not the third and fourth
President, but the third. And so of
the others in their order, each beIny
enumerated but once and each taking
the successive number in order. Yet
when 1T came to Cleveland, because he
was not his own successor. some have
counted him as two Presidents. But
the fact that be was President from
1855 to 1889, and then was defeated by
Harrison, and succeeded Harrison in
turn in 1898, does not give him a dual
number.
The true way TO reckon the matter
is to count the number of men who
have been in the Presidential Office, as
the Boston Globe insists; and so count
ing, Mr.. Wilson is tho twenty-seventh
man who has occupied the position of
chief executive in this country. 1t
is, therefore, proper to designate him
as tbcftwenty yseveuth President, and as
such he will go into history.

comment that eff the water were

whereas the watering of railroad aud
other stocks occurred for the most part

well up to the watered valuation But
1T would have by no means done so at

The physical valuation of the rail
roads which has been ordered by Con

pute, and no doubt it will show ire
mendous increase in valuation since the
days Of watering stock were on the
country like flood. But, as sug-

property that has increased tremen

only property for which physical
valuation has been ordered.
