LOCAL COMMENT

The killing Of farmer at grade
crossing in State Center reminds us OF
the ever present and terrible danger
which exists at all of the crossings over
the c. 4 II. w. tracks in that town
and 1t would seem that the thing to
do there for public safety would be to
close all crossings but one and compel
the railroad to maintain fiagman at
that one. So many trains rush thru
State Center without stopping and
nearly all Of the crossings in the town
have business buildings close to the
tracks which obscure the view that an
extraordinary hazardous condition
prevails there.

Over Doing 1t.

The truest homes are often in
houses not especially we'll kept,
where the comfort and happines
of the inmates, rather than the
preservation Of the furniture, is
first consulted. The object of
home is to be the center, the
point of tenderest interest: the
pivot of which the family life
turns. The first requisite is to
make it attractive, that none of
it's Inmates will care to linger
long outside ofits limits. Allleg-
itimate means should be employ
ed to this end, and no efforts
spared that can contribute to the
purpose. Many houses, called
homes, kept with waxy neatness
by painstaking, anxious women,
are so oppressive in their nicely
as to exclude all home feeling
from their spotless precincts.
The very name of home is synony-
nous with personal freedom and
relaxation from care; but neith-
er of these can be felt where
such a mania for external cleanli-
ness | revades the household that
everything else ls subservent
thereto,

That is the question so often asked. As
feed crop for hogs, peanuts are un-
excelled. No single crop can give the
returns that Spanish PEANUTS will give
when grazed to hogs. They Withstand
well extremes of weather and are adap-
table to any type of soil that has fair
drainage, The yield of nuts per acre
is larger than that of peas or soy beans
on thin lands. AS much feed, can be
grown on one acre of thin land from
peanuts as on two similar acres planted
to corn. The yield of hay from the
vines varies from half ton to one ton
per acre They mature quickly, thus
giving planting season from April to
August. The crop if properly harvest
ed leaves the nitrogen beaning part of
the plant in the ground. The crop is
off the land in time to plant oats in
September and October. Right here l

The Proposed Embargo.

The bill introduced into the sen.
ate, forbidding the shipment from
the United States of arms and
munitions to any of the European
belligerents, was proposed, OF
course, as a measure to confirm
and emphasize our neutrality.
The argument in favor of it is that
by abstaining impartially from
supplying munitions of war to all
belligerents, the United States
would be occupying less debata.
Bile position of neutrality than by
selling such supplies to the only
group of belligerents able to i'm
port them. Moreover, the argu-
ment is advanced thatIin the cause
of humanity this country should
decline to furnish other nations
with the means of prolonging
bloodshed and slaughter.
The arguments sound plausible,
but there is another side to the
question. The opponents of the
measure point out that it is not
the part of neutral nation to
hamper the operations of one belli
gerent, since that is, in effect, to
favor the other. The situation
that makes it possible for the I'm.
tied States to supply Only one bel.
ligerent is not ofour making, and
for us to attempt to equalize con.
ditions between the belligerents
when the inequality that has been
is owing to advantages
achieved by one of them through
'orce of arms would amount vir-
'ually to intervention on our part.

but his friends thought best to
have short service at the grave
after the singing of the beauti-
full songs. Rev. Purser, pastor
of the Baptist church, read a
short passage of scripture and
then turned the service over to
Rev. Mr.. Jessei Buck, who had
been his spiritual advisor, teach
.er and friend ever since boyhood.
Rev, Buck began by saying that
about 70 years ago a little boy
was born in the home of DR..
Elijah Deupree and as DR.. Deu-
pree was a great admirer of a
certain Baptist minister, then
! living in Macon. Rev. Mr.. Latti-
more, he named the little boy
| baltimore and at IL years of age
that little boy joined the Baptist
church at Old Sharon and was
baptised by DR.. baltimore; he
said Latt had gone to school to
him and from that day until his
death he knew him intimately
and could gladly testify to his
gentle loving nature and christian
character. He had attended a
protracted meeting with him in
Macon only a few weeks ago and
Latt had told him all was well
with him and he was ready to
die. / wish all of my readers
could have stood with his friends
and kindred on that bleak Decem-
Der day and heard those beauti-
full songs and heard that vener-
able man of God standing with
bowed head and uplifted hands,
tell of the certainty of the life
after death, of Latt's life and his
belief in the blessed resurrection
and heard him admonish all to
try and be ready, for the sum-
mons which would surely come
to us all. When | heard those
beautiful songs, heard this dear
old man plead for his Saviour and
tell of the joys of a reunion be-
yond the grave, looked into the
faces of beloved ones and saw
the grave covered with the most
beautiful floral offering l ever
saw at a grave, could not but
say, "Oh! death, where is thy
sting; Oh! grave, where is thy
victory" 1t brought tears to
my eyes to witness the uncon-
trollable grief of his dear child
rem and especially his twin step
daughters who loved him so we'll
and fully realized what a great
loss his death was to them for he
was a father to them indeed.
He was so gentle and kind and
thoughtful to all of his dear low
ed ones and saved them from all
worry and trouble, and he will
be sorely missed.
Already since his death / have
had a letter from his dear wife
asking my advice about a bust
ness matter in which she said
"Oh! if only had Mr.. Deupree
here to advise me-" But this is
not to be and all we can do is to
initiate his worth and perpe-
tuate his memory. A true Con-
federate soldier, he loved the
cause he served so well to his dy-
ing day and a few days before
his death he asked his wife to
get out his old gray unifrom and
brush it as he wanted to be bur-
led in it, and in accordance with
this wish, he is now sleeping his
last sleepin the uniform that we
all love so we'll and never stained
by a single misdeed while wear
ing it. Goodbye to my old boy

In Memory of J. L. Deupres.

J.I. Deupree was born in the
neighborhood of Deerbrook, Nox-
ubee county, May 49,, 1912. He
died at Mayhew, Lowndes coun-
ty December 7, 1914. He was
married four times; at nineteen
he married Miss Sallie Brooks.
Shortly after he went to the war.
There were no children from this
union.
In 1867 he married Miss Fan
|'nie Bradford; four children were
born to them, Latt, Sige, Bennie
and Kellie. In 1884 he married
Miss Mary Pope, Of Columbus;
theyhad one child, Louise Wayne,
who is with Crane Co... Of Mem
lphis:: :. :,
The last fourteen years his life
were spent quietly at Mayhem
with his last wife, Mrs. Mamie
Connell, whom he. married De-
cember, 1899. His. four STEP
daughters loved him as devotely
as his own children, especially
the twin girls who were very
small when he came into the
home. He truly mended the
broken link in the Connell fami-
| ly and made the home happy by
This loving care and protection.

He was a hard student, having
attended the following colleges:
Howard College, Marion, Ala;
Military Institution, Marietta,
Ga; Union University, Murfrees-
borough, Tenn.
He had a career as a soldier,
served first year of Civil war as
a member of the Noxubee Rifle
men, 18th Miss. Regiment. He
lost his finger at the battle of
Seven Pines, Va, and had a
horse shot from under him while
in the service of the Noxubee
Cavalry.
The above is a brief outline of
his life as given me by one who
loved him.
| had known and loved Latt
ever since we were school boys
together in Macon and / never
knew a more perfect gentleman.
Gentle and loving by nature,
reared in a family of honest,
kind-hearted men. in a home that
practiced all of the christian vir-
tues, had absolutely no self love
at all. He magnified the virtue
of his friends and minimized his
own. He realized that he could
not live long and for a year had
made every preparation for death;
told his loved ones he would not
stay long with them and did
everything he could think of to
relieve them of trouble. Advis-
ed his devoted wife all she should
do after his death and spoke of
dying as he would have done had
he only been going on a journey;
said he was fully prepared and
only regretted that his difidence
and hesitancy of speech had kept
him from being more active in
the service of his master. AS
stated above he died in Mayhem
but he had expressed a wish
to be buried in dear old Macon
where he and his had spent so
many happy. hours. A large con-
course of the noble people of
Mayhew and his dear children
brought his remains down to Ma
con the next day. A large crowd
of his old friends and relatives
met the burial party at the depot
and the sad cortege winded its
way to the old cemetery where |
so many of those he loved in life |
had preceded him. The funeral !

Revenue and Expenses.
Information Obtained To Be
Used nj Rate Cases.

The public utilities commission to-

In the forms provided by the inter-
state commerce commission and
adopted by the state commission, are
more than $50 classifications and list
of nearly $500 questions covering
every detail of railroad operation, rev.
enue and expense.
An effort will be made by the COM

From the statements of the various
roads, the commission will gather in
formation as to the earning power or
needs of the various roads and will
use the reports in hearings on rates
during the next year.
The 1915 reports will also be of
much value to the commission in pass
ing on the Kansas passenger rate case
which was submitted to the commits
sion last spring.
