Dis pfih It affords us great pleasure
to b%nt it to our readers. The
third ‘@istrict has a congressman who
not only honors his distric in his
ptibllg service at Washington, but he
honorg the state. It matters not how
long this man remaing representa
tive of the Third District in congress,
the‘ people who are his constituents
will not have cause to regret that
they sent him. He takes his task se
riously and labors for our needs.
'l‘hsro‘.-h no word of opposition to him
from - any quarter. We hope their
will be none. This is a large district
full of good people, but it woulq be
hard to start anybody who can fill the
place &8 he is filling it.
The county executive committee
has given entrants for representative
in Crigp until July twentieth to an
nounce. But that is no reason why
those who want this county well rep
resented in the legislature should re
main fnactive until a situation might
be developed over which they might
not have control. The whole coumyi
ought:to be interested now to such an
extent, that a capable man might be‘
offered for the place. Those the peo
ple of .the county would like to have<
are not going into a hair-pulling con
test l§r the place. 'We may be assur
ed og:that. ’And yet somebody must
do same thinking and planning if we

sort ?t qualification which all the‘
county might easily endorse. We
want Jan outstanding man. He isn'g

We want the voters of middle Geor

JOHN HOWARD PAYNE
The deepest sorrow and the great
est joy that usually comes nto the Ife
of any man—jal and a sweetheart—
entered the life of John Howard
Payne, author of “Home, Sweet
Home"” durng days he spent in Geor
gia. June 10 was the one hundred
and fouteenth anniversary of Payne’s
birth,
i From the former, he was soon re
}leased, but in the gentle bondage of
}the latter he remained a life-long prls-‘
oner, As for }hg. g‘lr[.. ’l‘°~ retal_[ned‘
her maiden name, dying at 76 and
%carrled to her grave in Oconee ceme
tery, Athens, Ga., an undimmed image
of her poet-lover,
While in New York in 1832, Payne'
became . interested in the then pro-1
posed removal of the Cherokee In
dians of Georgia to trans-Mississippi
territory. To ascertain the real facts
in the case, Payne came to Georgia
in 1836. He became the guest of John
Ross, leader of one faction of the
Cherokees which bitterly opposed the
deportation, His visit and its object
was unknown and soon he was ar
rested and placed in prison. ‘
Payne remained a prisoner until his
release was procured by Gen. Edward
Harden, to whom he had brought a
letter of introduction. Insisting that
Fayne become his guest, General Har
den took the poet to the famous old
Harden home at Athens where he fell
deeply in love with Miss Hary Har
den, the general’'s daughter. After his
departure, he wrote her a fervid love
letter, in which he related his com
parative poverty and asked her to
marry him. This is the only letter
he wrote her of which trace has been
found. Just what was her reply has
never been known.

L‘ qffigimqtep in ‘eyol\’mon and the
prolongation. of Wié Wil be’ Yo S
Jects for ‘discussion at the Internation
@l New Thought Alliance Congress in
New York, June 20-27,
Evolution's progress to date has
been “purely material and scientific,”
said the Rev, Albert C. Grier of New
York, who will speak on how greater
advancement will be made through
the “mind and individual conscious
ness.” |
Richard Lynch, also of this city,
!who will talk on prolongation of life,
contends the real solution is in the
“developed mental powers” of each
person.
Among the other speakers will be
Elizabeth Towne, of Holyoke, Mass.,
and Mary E. T. Chapin, of Washing
ton.
At the second session, all religions
will be outlined and explained by
ispokesmen from many sections of the
;world.
SURRENDERING WITHOUT
A FIGHT.
Dalton Citizen: .
A correspondent in the Macon
Telegraph is raising a merry laugh
aljut vetch worms His name |is
‘Slappy, and his stuff is of the slap
stick sort. He has already surrender
ed to fl&ow‘%mflm ‘every
body dse td S 5 MHeRtsN, - -
There are all kinds of people in
the world, but those who are willing
and anxious to surrender to bugs
and worms are the least under
standable, but interesting as a study
in psychology.
Veteh is pronounced by all com
petent authorities as one of the best
soil tuilders known. Farmers are
turning to it, as well as turning it
under, as a means of enriching the
soil by restoring the elements taken
from it by constant drain of grow
ing crops of cotton and corn, and
other agricultdal prolucts which rob
it of its essential elements.
If vetch is plowed under at the
proper time time there will be no
worm menace, so competent agri--
cultural authorities tell us. |
Man was created to have domin
ion over sea and land, a swell as
over the animals, bugs, worms and
reptiles indigeneuous thereto, and iti
would seem that those who are will
ing to surrender 'without a ' fight—
even without passive resistance—are
poor sports,
Carrying the Telegraph corre
spondent’s reasoning to its logical
end, the farmer would cease grow
ing cotton because of the boll
weevil. Corn would be put on the
black lists because the crows insist
on pulling it up while it is young.
and the peach crop would be sur--
rendered to the curculio pest. Wheat
and oats would take the count be
cause of rust, and the watermelonl
and the cantaloupe would default
because of biight. ‘
So let Mr. Slappey slap. Thd pro- |
gressive farmer will continue t(‘
grow what he pleases in his owr‘
way, and in spite of the pests. He
will not surrender to them, and
neither will he ask or give quarter.l
