TO DISCUSS STATE
PURCHASE
protected head

Members of the Association of
Ownership of the Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic railway, at a meet
ing in the office of Mayor Key in
atlanta, called a mass meeting of all
persons interested in the proposal that
the state purchase that line and couple
it on to the Western and Atlantic rail
road. This mass meeting is to be held
in Fitzgerald on Thursday, May 4th,
and all members of The General As
sembly will be invited to attend and
participate in the discussion. Senator
Frank Manson will explain the prop
sitin. 1t is stated that approximately
100000 living in the territory served
will get squarely behind the proposed
purchase, and that seventy-five MEM
bers of the House and Senate repre-
senting that territory will work for it.
While we would much prefer to see
the road in the hands of some strong
company that would operate it and
help develop is territory, State owner
ship would be much better than the
present condition of affairs. With
State ownership we would get no
more taxes from the property, and
the State owned roads are not noted
for general improvements and devel-
opment. Therefore, we are not so en-
thuiast'c about State ownership for
the A. B. & A., but would much pre-
fer that to matters as they stand now.
This from the viewpoint of a citizen
of the territory affected. From the
States standpoint, it would be fine
investment. The property can be
bought cheap, and it will seadily grow
in value after being coupled up with
another trunk line -Tifeon Gazette.

and its library of 100000 volumes, con-
tanning many rare manuscripts and val

Let's all pull up all the while and
never pull down. Let's not only pull
for ourselves but let's pull the other
fellow up. Was anyone ever hurt by
helping his fellow man? Was anyone
ever benefited by using all of his
talents in trying to injure his fellow
man? Let's all take vow against
saying hard things about anyone else.
Let's vow that we will not tell the
truth when that truth need not be
told if it hurts or injuries anyone and
benefits no one. Just as sure as the
SUN is in the Heavens and just as sure
as little chickens come home to roost,
just that sure will the unkind words
return unto him who utters them and
bite.
All men are made in The image of
HIM and HE is the Creator of all
men. Then it should appear how lit
tie it is in one of them so created as
not to emulate HIS SON and preach
good fellowship, brotherly love, and

lO2 LOST FROM
SUNKEN SHIP
British Steamship Egypt Takes
Great Toll Of Lives.

Brest, France, May 24-Tho
British Consul here today an
nounced that 1O2 of those who
were on board The British
steamer Egypt, sunk of the
Island of Ushant Saturday night
are missing, of whom Is were
passengers and 90 members OF
the crew. Twenty-e;ght pas en-
gers were saved, together with
204 members Of the crew.
Mrs. M. L. Sibley and Miss '.
M. Boyer, American missionar-.
les, are among those missing and
presumably lost. Many Of the
dead brought in by boats were
wearing life belts; they had
evidently become exhausted.
The fog was so thick off Ushant
Island at the time of the collis-
ion between the Egypt and
French freighter Seine that the
inhabitants of the island in the
region had been living for three
days in almost complete dark
ness, with all outdoor work
suspended. The sudden rise in
temperature in northern France
is given as the reason for the
unusual heavy fog.

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
Keep The Home Flowers
Blooming

The rose has reds the violets
blues and other flowers have
other hues. When all without
is storm and gloom, l love the
brightness of a room lit by a
red ageranium bloom. Sweet
summer comes and brings some
phlox some Bouncing Belts and
hollyhocks. The rose is red and
on it's head fall gently rain and
dew, no home, though neat, is
quite complete without a brush
or two. The rose is red the vio-
let blue whenever spring comes
! back; he starves his soul who
does not have some flowers
round his shack. The farmer
tills on wales and hills food
crops his fathers knew, but let
him raise by walks and ways his
mothers pories too. We give
him praise who spends his days
with Ceries not with Mannmon
and with her grain from hill and
with her grain from hill and
plain puts fat the porker's ham
on; but let him setal an hour to
feel the love of gentle Flora, up
on his knees to plant sweet peas
for wife or sister Dora.
