THE WHITE ROSE.

This is the spirit flower.
The ghost of an old regret;
All night she stands in the garden
close,
And her face with tears is wet,
But love the pale white rose,
For she always seems to me
A pallid nun who dreams all day
OF a distant memory.
Alas! How we'll I know
That every garden spot
Is haunted by a gentle ghost
Who will not be forgot.
In the garden of the heart
Ere the sun of life has set,
@ many a white rose blooms and
dreams
or many an old regret.

Means Prosperity

The twenty-five wagon loads OF
home-raised meat which entered
Ouitman one day last week was
sight which should inspire any true
citizen of old Georgia. There were
900 pounds of meat in the TWEEN
tv-two wagon loads, and this is not
near all that is produced for market
in Brooks county in one year. Last
year 100000 pounds were marketed,
and it is believed that 10000
pounds will be marketed in that
county this year, says the Triton Ga
zette. The farmers of Terrell are
also raising more meat than ever be-
fore. 1t has been a matter of remark
that the sale of the home-raised
product has materially reduced the
quantity of Western meat shipped
to Dawson this year.

Another Needed Reform,

One good result Of the parcel post
is seen in the radical lowering of
charges by the different express
companies. That the companies can
make good profits on the reduced
rates is proof positive that their prof
its were enormous when they had
everything their own way. The Won
der is that the public stood extortion
so long, but then the companies had
so much influence over congress and
men in high places that redress was
well nigh impossible.
Now that public opinion is making
itself felt so strongly and insistently
we may expect several more reforms
in the interest of the people at large.
One that is badly needed is the call
ing of the insurance trust to time.
1t has run its hands deep into the
pockets of helpless people for many
years. It is a monopoly no one has
vet seemed to care to challenge.

Asleep On The Job.

News from Washington indicates
that the neglect of the South in land
reclamation work continues while
the far West is getting more and
more government aid and considera-
ton.
The national government has eX-
pended approximately SIS, 100000
on the reclamation of a little over
100000 acres of arid land in the
West. 1t has spent nothing for the
reclamation of the 100000 acres
of swamp and overflowed lands of
the country, the most of which are in
the Southern and Central states.
Secretary Lane, of the interior de-
partment which has the irrigation
work in charge, fayors an anpropria-
ton Of $780, 100000 for additional
work, but has said nothing in favor
of public appropriations to aid in
the work of flood protection and the
reclamation of the swamp and over
flowed lands of our section.
With a Southern man in the presi-
dents chair, a Southern man as
speaker of the house and both houses
of congress Southern in politics and
the control in the hands of Southern
men it seems to the Griffin News that
nothing is being done for land re-
clamation in the South and Central
West, and that paper wants to know
if our senator's and representatives
are asleep at the switch.

Repeated failure of efforts to ~
ganize the farmers for the purpose
of securing better prices for their
products is frequently remarked up
on. The newspaper publishers of the
state are organized, but there is little
thought or effort how to increase
prices for advertising and subscrip-
tions. The members derive real ben
eft, however, and independent of the
social feature, too. Organization is
not all, or nearly all, to affect or reg
uIate prices or assure specific returns
on effort, whether by brain or hand.

Where The Corn Goes,

The United States department OF
agriculture has just completed an
Investigation Of the nations corn
crop of last year and finds that SOS
per cent of the total yield Of 2,463,-
O17.O0O bushels was consumed on
the farm. Nineteen per cent of the
total crop was shipped to the city,
but a part was returned to the farm
after being manufactured into corn
meal. Horses and mules consume
the largest portion of the corn crop
which remains in the rural districts,
and use 27 per cent of the total yield
annually. Swine eat 26.8 per cent;
cattle 10 per cent; poultry SO per
cent; human beings "a per cent, and
one per cent is used for seed.
Corn is the most valuable cror
grown in the United States.

Give miles of sand clay roads are
being built in Colquitt county every
month. If these roads come up to
the government standard, as it is
claimed, they will be lasting monu-
ment to the foresight and integrity
of the citizens of that community, "
says the Americas Southwest Geor-
gian. 1t is a fact that Southwest
Georgia is building more and better
roads than any other section Of the
state. 1t is due to two reasonable
progressfveness of the people and an
abundance of material for making
good roads.

COL. r.. F. CRITTENDEN.

From the Macon Telegraph.
A word may we'll be added to the
Telegraph's brief account of the ca
reer of Col. R. F.. Crittenden. To him
was given length Of days, and they
were well spent days. His was al
most an ideal life-the very embod-
iment of the cardinal virtues. 1t is
related that Napoleon said of VIM.
H. Crawford, while the Georgian was
minister to France, that he was a
man to whom he instinctiVely felt
like lifting his hat. Col. Crittenden
was of such personality as to IN
spire the same feeling. But he was
eminently apprOachable, ever ur-
bane and even magnetic. He loved
his friends and they loved him. The
confederacy never had more loyal
soldier, the State Agricultural Soci-
ETY. never had more capable
officer, and perhaps it is not too much
to say that Georgia never had bet
ter citizen. He has left to his family
the priceless heritage of a stainless
name, of more value than all riches.
He loved the South, its traditions,
its ideals; he revered the constltu-
ton and the great men who were
the builders of the nation; and if
there was one sorrow which in his
last years tempered. like a shadow,
his proverbial optimism it was his
recognition Of the menace of that
anti-state and anti-constitutional
movement which rose in the west
and is steadily advancing eastward,
threatening to change our system of
government to meet the views Of
those who have no regard for the
noble work of the fathers.

PREACHERS AND THEIR WORK.

Editor of The News: my people
are destroyed for lack of knowledge,
and those that are set over them
make them howl, saith God"
Lack of knowledge doesn't always
mean lack of knowledge of spiritual
things. God has no place in His
economy for Wilful ignorance Of even
the way to make oneself comfortable.
Abraham was rich before he was
called to be the father and progenitOr
of the Christ. Moses was learned in
all the knowledge of the Egyptians,
and they were the first in knowledge
of the nations of their day, before he
was called to lead out OF bondage,
instruct and guide the Hebrews.
We see appeals in every religious
paper we take up for establishing
schools in Korea, teaching them civ
ilization. Why not teach the poor OF
Georgia how to farm, how to keep
house decently, how to get on in the
world, and lastly-fOr the Others will
have to be taught, as Moses and
Abraham Were-to be christian citl-
zens.
Said a preacher recently, speaking
OF family in Georgia, a common, eV-
ery-day white crOpper: Never saw
l such poverty" Yet 1 venture to
say he was the first preacher save
the Mormons who had entered or
prayed in that family in years, if not
in their lives. His kind meet these
folks at the meeting house, at the
graves side, but do not eat with
them
els thv servant a dOg?'
I have before my minds eye a
deathbed scene as | write. The man
had been we'll reared. His fathers
house had been the preachers home,
of every name and order. His father
made no difference. Yet this man S
brother and sister learned that day
that for twenty years since he had
left home no preacher had entered
his home; no man had said to him
save two, old fir ends of his father at
a meeting place-dO better, come
back; and in his stress, when the
other world was looming near, he
had to go back to his fathers and
mothers family altar to learn the
way to God. Does any one wonder
that this mans sister and brother
lost in that day all reverence for the
'black-coated fraternity who dine
with those who make the poor
how'll"
There once lived within Randolph
county a man of the name of Thomas
Muse, an F. F. v, and graduate Of
the University Of Virginia. He could
not preach much, but listen; he
went into the homes of poverty. He
was not too good to live with the
drunkard, to love him back to God,
to sacrifice his love of cleanliness
and his love of good living that he
who had wandered from God might
find his way back. Is it any wonder
that his name is as ointment poured
forth?" The late Frank Johnson was
such an one, but in my knowledge L
know of but two today who are do
ing this work. Both are college men,
both are of aristocratic lineage like
Muse and Johnson. One is a pre-
siding elder of the Methodist church,
Bascom Anthony; the other a circuit
rider, John T. Lowe; and one who
has preached, but is now, believe,
layman, Homer Bush. There may
be others, but their numbers need to
be multiplied by one million if Amer
lea is to be saved. Very respectful
ly, ANDREW P. RIVES.

Marking Time.

Our always esteemed and interest
ing contemporary, the Macon News,
doesn't concede that South Georgia
is entitled to one of the United States
senatorships more than any other
section, and doesn't hesitate to say
so. Hear it,
1T is all too certain that the
people Of no state, OF no Sectlon OF
any state, particularly or the
southern and central part of this
state, will ever unite on any man
for an office as big and as import
ant as that of United States SEN
ator."
The Macon News, who, we opine,
is interested in the candidacy of an
able and popular young Georgian OF
it's own city for whom we have
very high regard and kindly feeling,
NAV be or may not be right. A little
time will tell what South Georgia S
attitude in regard to a senatorial
candidate will be.
In the meantime, the senatorial
and gubernatorial candidates and
prospective senatorial and prospect
i've gubernatorial candidates are all
marking time, and each is waiting
for the other to make the first move
Such a waiting and watching game
as is now being played by the biz
politicians of the state has seldom II
ever before been seen in Georgia.

The country not only produces
large crops of grain and other neces-

manhood and womanhood to replen-

1t is the steady stream of strong and
virile young men and women going
into the large and small cities of the
land that keeps them comparatively
pure and wholesome. If the cities
did not receive such accessions the

Extremists in the feminist move
ment expect to see the social order
turned upside down. Among the
many changes to be wrought is that
of the marriage relation. Marriage,
in fact, is to be more in the line of a

present understood. 1t is safe to
guess that long after the advocates of
these radical changes shall have pass
ed away the home as at present con-
