Death Of John w. Pdulette.

Mr.. John Paulette. one of the best
known planters and merchants in the
county, died at his home ten miles east
Of Macon Thursday morning at four
o. clock. Though he had not been in
good health for several years his death
was wholly unexpected and was a shock
to his relatives and friends. Mr.. Pau
lette lost his wife and brother, DR.. 7. B.
Paulette, both dying within day or
two of each other, at hospital in Mo-
bile, about two years ago, and since
that time his health has not been good.
Mr.. Paulette was in his sixty-fourtt
year and was a native of this county,
having been born near the place where
he died on September 4th, 1858. Hit
remains were inferred in the Odd Eel
lows cemetery today at II o'clock, af
ter services at the grave.

A Reform Anniversary

BY executive order, issued yes,
terday, all future vacancies in
first, second and third class post
masterships will be filled by men
appointed by the president from
the highest eligible candidates
certified by the Civil Service
commission after competitive
examination. Present officials
will not be interfered with so
long as their administration is
efficient and they attend strictly
to business. Thus Mr.. Wilson
completes the sway Of civil SER
vice reform in the Postal service.
There was much murmuring and
lament in public by congressman
when Postmaster General Burle-
son told them of Mr., Wilson's
intention, three weeks ago. They
seek to cheer the dlscorsolate in
their districts, but in private
they must be glad. They will
be relieved Of many wearisome
opportunities. They will escape
a fruitful source of disappoint-
ments, ermities, and factions.
Doubtless some of them will con
tinue to speak the old patter
about 'snivel service reform, "
but Mr.. Wilson has done a thing
good for them as we'll as the
country.
Appointments from the eligi-
BILE list will have to be confirmed
by the senate, of course; and
there may be virtuous orations
and perhaps some rejection OF
nominees; but what is the use OF
kicking against the pricks? The
spoils system has mighty little
life left in its disreputable ole
carcass. Civil service reform
has won.
1t is forty years since Thomas
A. Jenckes of Rhode IslanC
made his first report to the
House of Representatives ir
favor of the merit system anC
competitive examinations. Mr.
Wilson nobly commentaries it.

Two Cents An Acre

The Danish West Indies be
came territory Of the United
States yesterday. Alaska passed
under our flag on March 80, 1867
says an exchange. Fifty years
and one day separated the two
annexations, For Alaska we
paid S7,20O,00O; for the Danish
islands s25, 600, 900. The sum we
paid for Alaska was thought to
be too much; in fact, most Amer
leans did not want it at any
price. But Russia needed money
and Russia had stood by us IN
the war just closed, had been a
powerful factor in preventing
| interference from other Euro
pean nations, and we bought the
supposedly barren and worthless
territory as a way Of partly re-
paying our debt Of gratitude,
and for no other reason. Thus
did Alaska. as Secretary Lane
puts it, ledge her way into g
protesting and inhospitablt
democracy.
Since then she has brought US
over three-quarters of a billion
dollars. Her story is just be-
ginning. She is still practically
uninhabited, for she is one-fftf
as large as the United States anC
has only $4,000 population, bu
lin 1916 she contributed 500,
900, 600 to our trade. She is be
ginning to mine coal, and is esti
mated to have one hundred ant
fifty billion tons of it. Though
her gold fields have never ye
been adequately worked, sh'
mines $4,000, 900 a year already
and $285, ,O00,00 has been takel

The Weather

There has been six days of sunshine
this week, with only shower Thurs
day night, and it has begun to look as
il the weather man would at last "have
heart" and allow the farmers to do a
little planting. All that has been done
81 far has been between rains and
very little of the low lands have even
been prepared. The first cutting of al
falfa. which is generally cut the last
week in April, will probably be a week
or ten days late. No crop has suffered
more from the extremes in weather
since last July, than alfalfa. Follow
ing the three weeks of flood in July,
there were several months of drouth,
followed by extremely low temperature
during the winter, and being flooded
out, dried out and froze out, there is
hardly more than fifty per cent of q
stand left. Mr.. Binion. who has the
largest acreage in the county, says
that is the condition on his place and il
is probably the condition everywhere
Mr.. Josh Cavett says he lost nearly
all of his crop and has had 400 pounds
of seed to replant but the weather con,
ditions have been such that he coulc
not get it planted.
