BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
v ENLARGEMENT IN THE LORD
~—“My heart rejoiceteh in the Lord,
mine hornt is exalted in the Lord,
my mouth is enlarged over mine ene
mies, because I rejoiice in thy salva
tion.,” I Sam, 2:1,
4 . sNO_COMPETITION HERE I
A tobacco grower sold gome of his
extra fine wrapper goods in Pelliam
the otlier day' av & dollar and a half
a pound. Here is a man who will
mover Bayg competition iu that special
Ipslncxgxgfi. (i'o"u"h‘ of it to crowd
the market. He must have made
séme money on that output from his
farm.
The Alabany Herald takes note of
this unusual fact in the following par
agraph:
“Some extra fine wrapper tobacco
sold in Pelham the other day for
$1.26 a pound, and the Macon News
finds in the report something for to
bacco growers to think about. The
News says: ‘There is a great deal
of food for thought in {he high price
brought for this extra quality of to.
bacco. In the first place there is not
the slightest chance that there will be
an overproduction of such tobacco,
As a mattor of fact theke is no like
lihood of glutting the)murkct with
the tobacco of any quality produced
in this state. Buyers from uall over
the world flock to the various mar
kets, There ig every indication that
they make a fair valuation of the
leat and pay all it is worth. But in
a special degree we may he sure that
there will not be any overproduction
ol the fine wrapping tobacco which
brings $1.26 a pound.”
THEY ARE OUR FOLKS
So far we have heard no ob.
jection from any quarter to the
solection of Bascom S. Deaver, of
Macon, as District Attorney, and
Samuel Purvis, of Ocilla, as Mar
shal, for the new Middle Georgia
District of U. S. Court, but the
iwbplv of Gegrgia have not yeot l
" forgotten the manner in which
Judge Tilson was forced upon .

We had within the district capable

business to pick us a federal judge

DR. CHARLES W. ELLIOTT
Civilization the world over lost a
great man in the person of Dr.‘
Charles W. Elliot who died Sunday.
He was a bold, heavy hitter in ali
the fights he entered and was still
roung though very old when he died,
Forty yeais he stood head and should.
ers above anybody in American edu
cational influence and power,
One writer says of him:
“Dr. Elliott never seemed to lose
the vigor of his mind, or the joy u‘[l
conflict in debate, In udu(:allonal‘
matter, he was a radical; in political
affairs, he was progressive and inl
religion, he was an extromely llbu-rnl‘
modernist, Although 92 yecars of ugc,‘
lie never sucenmbed to conservatism,
He was the delight of the younger
men of Harvard, since he applied the
cleetrie shock frequently to the staid
old conservatives of Cambridge. e
was the chief topic of horrificd
possip among the Cambridge and
Buck Bay mossbacks, becouse of his
dandg, In 1922, for instance, he op
posed Henry Cabot Lodge, who was
somewhat of a houschold idol among
the elect of Massachusetts and call
cd him a “vicious influence,” At that
time, Dr. Lowell was 88 years old.
ile was a vigorous advocate of the
feague of nations and a harg hlm-r.!
Among those who felt his blows were
leading members of his party, the
republicans.” !
An earlier controversy which hi:;?
remarks fanned to a blaze, was l.hu”l
over the status of the ‘“scah,” wlu»f
wag described by Dr. Eliot once as
“a good type of American hero.,” The
.Jmlon leaderg invited Dr. Eliot to pl‘(\,{
sent bhimgelt at a mads meeting of
labor men in Boston Iq!?fuubmlt to a
heckling, which he did, to their sur
prise. |
His doctrine was Indlvidlmllsm,‘
and in his eriticisms of organized la
bor he often said “democracy must
profoundly distrust the labor union’s
two frequent effort to restrict the
efficiency and output of the indivi
dual workman.” He likewise saw a
“tumbling block for democracy in
capitalism, but was confident that
both classes would some day fulfil
his ideals,
He attempted a few years ago an
malysis of literature to pick the best
‘ew books, the reading' of which
would make a man “cultured.”” The
plan and the result again made him
v storm center of criticizm,
At 77, Dr. Eliot took a trip around
the world “to study.” In Ceylon, in
December, 1911, he was operated on
wr appendicitis, but notwithstanding
his advanced age Mo x’i‘;;.:lillt,-(l his
tull. vigor. He was tall, a dignified
tigure with well poised head, grave
aee, with a glow in hig checks and
sindly eyes, President Taft once
Jayfully said of him: “He is as
wvell preserved as though he had
ipent his years in the atmosphere of
e Supreme court.”
Presideat 2oosevelt, who was once
talked of as his possible successor
it Havdvard, once said: “lle is the
mly man in the world I envy.”
He was a Fellow of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, ho! Qf
iicer of the Legion of li‘ono_r. and a
nember of the Freneh Institute, and
was decorated by the Emperor of
ipan with the Order of the Rising
sun.
Dr. Eliot was first married in 1869,

wife w asGrace Mellen Hopkins, to
whom he wag married in 1877,
SETTING US RIGHT ON MEXICO
The Catholic Bulletin, printed in

in Georgia, has been sept to nearly

Dispatch as possible to find, Indeed,

made in that publication to set us

Mexico—or rather to show that we

We desire to do nobody an injus

wr that—and they did not only write
it into our beliefs, but they wrote
it into the fabric of the constitution
of this great country-—-separation of
