one Of the most remarkable doc
uments of its kind in the history

Egleston left 100000 for the
founding of a memorial hospital
for children, and this is one of
the portions of the will that is at
tackled in the suit by DuBose Egg

deceased.
All the other nearest kin are
also first cousins, and they are
made parties to the litigation in
the suit which was filed here. A
trust company in whose hands
the estate was placed is made one
of the defendants, together with
the Rev. w. w. Meminger, rector
of All Saints Episcopal church, of

Resolution

Whereas, Fifteen new counties
have been created in this state
since the formation of the exist
ing senatorial district;
Whereas, There has been al
most a hundred per cent. increase
in the population OF the state
since the formation of the pres
ent senatorial districts;
Whereas, In this immediate
section of Georgia, four new
counties have been created CON
tiguous to each other, and in the
heart Of that section Of the state
which has witnessed the most
rapid increase in wealth, develop
ment, and population in the last
two decades and,
Whereas, The senatorial dis
tricts of this section of the state
to which these new counties have
been attached, contain from four
to six counties each, thus depriv-
ing this growing section Of Geor-
gia OF its fair and just right to
equal representation in the senate
and throwing the number Of
counties composing the present
districts out of balance with the
majority Of the districts of the
state which contain only three
counties each;
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, By
THE citizens of Ben Hill, Irwin,
/ Wilcox, Turner, Crisp and Tit
counties, i'll mass meeting assem-
/ bled at Fitzgerald, on this the
23rd day Of June, 1916, as follows.
.to-Wit:
|. That we favor the creation
OF two new senatorial dictricts in
Chis section to be organized, one
out OF the counties of Turner,
Tit, and Crisp, which are con-
IVeniently located on a main line
| Of railroad and through which
runs the National Highway; and
1.-THE other out of Wilcox, Ben Hill
aad Irwin counties which are
conveniently located as to each
other by lines of railroad, and
through which runs the Dixie
Highway.
2. That we petition the Cen
eral Assembly of Georgia to sub
init a constitutional amendment
to the people of the state to be
voted on at the next general ell
cction increasing the number of
senatorial districts, and creating
the two new districts to which
this section is Justly entitled.
5. That we favor new districts
IN any other section Of the state
entitled to them on the same
terms of justice and equality.
By consent of those present,
Wilcox and Tiff counties were
given the initial members of the
senate of the two districts, should
they become created at this ses-
sion of the legislature. The new
districts as planned will be form
ed out OF Tiff, Turner and Crisp
for the 18th and Irwin, Ben Hill
and Wilcox for the 10th.
The committees which will be
named by the Chairman will inn
medlately take such steps as nee
essary to carry out the purpose
of the resolution.

We have new player, Nc
Cullom by name. He is proficient
both in the in and out field. He
played in North Carolina before
he came here and is said to be a
plumb good 'un." McCullom
will probably get in the game to-
morrow as he will be eligible then
under the league rules.
So Marcus Milligan is the hand
soonest man on the ball team. All
we have got to say is-who'd a
thunk it?
A ninth inning rally is a mighty
pretty thing and is certainly con
ducive to good cheer on the part
of the supporters of the team that
makes it. But it is certainly
tough on the club that loses.
Those G. M. c. boys have all
ways been noted for fighting to
the last gasp. A team that is
never beaten until the last man is
out is mighty dangerous propo-
sition, for its opponents.

Fitzgerald plays. Cordele at
Cordele Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday OF this week while
Dawson plays Montezuma. Fitz-
gerald must take three straights
from Cordele to make any gain in
the standing, as Dawson is sure
to take two out of three from
Montezuma, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday Dawson gets a
whack at Cordele while 1--WE take
on Montezuma for a three-round
bout. By the latter part of the
week we expect to see Cordele
strong enough to take at least one
of the games from Dawson and it
IS quite probable that Montezuma
will take a game from us. Here
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, July 3, 4 and 5, we again
play Corele. By this time the
Hendersonians will be quite a re-
doutable aggregation and we can
hope for no better than two out
of three In other words, the dope
is that Fitzgerald will still be
leading the league July 6, and
Cordele will by that time be a
factor in the pennant race. After
July 6. we believe that the teams
will run pretty close together for
the rest of the season.

formation gained by riAing mails passing between
neutrals Our secretary Of state will find much
support in this opinion. In fact, it may be ques
toned II Americans are not unanimous in their
indignation at this outrage Also, he will find
that great man OF his countrymen wonder why
the controversy with Great Britain over mails has
been handled so gingerly. The situation is not
growing any better; dispatches from the Philip
pines bring word OF British surveillance of Amer
lean waters there. and Of the searching Of Amer
lean ships by British officers. Mr.. Lansing may
well question the course of the British govern
ment, SO plainly indicated by the utterances Of

MAINE.

The smashing republican victory in Maine IS
naturally inspiring to republicans everywhere
For it is smashing victory not only to carry
the state by substantial majority in excess Of
predictions, but also to win the governor, both
United States senator's and all four congressman.
Had the democrats elected only one of their
candidates we can well imagine their effort TO
jubilate over the small crumb of comfort, but with
nothing whatever saved out OF their wreck, they
are forced to do the explaining and put wholly
on the defensive.
Let no one be now misled after the fact into
believing that the democrats were not hopeful OF
making much better showing. The special po-
litcal commissioner of the New York World
President Wilson's most ardent champion, in his
review Of the Maine campaign last Sunday, said:
"The democrats supremely confident of the re-
election OF the governor. Senator Johnson and
two out OF the four congressional candidates, have
good reason for believing that Hughes has helped
their side Of the argument
This shows that the election in Maine turned
on national issues the local questions having been
completely sidetracked with the advent Of Mr..
Hughes pleading for endorsement Of republican
policies and principles as against the appeals Of
President Wilson's cabinet members for vote Of
confidence in their chief. This conclusion is re-
inforced also by the showing Of almost uniform
vote for all the republican candidates whose ma
jorities vary but slightly.
The result moreover, proves that in Maine, as
throughout the country, the reunion Of the pro-
gressives and republicans has gone much further
than the democrats were willing to admit, and
tb ~ tte neyreofaoe nj xo still
out is fractional.
While the Maine election does not definitely
predetermine the presidential choice, its effect
must be, as we have said, to hearten republicans
and spur them on to win back all the other states
lost by the factional division by which, alone, the
democrats rode into power four years ago.
