SUBSCRIPTION 31 F’ER YEAR r,
Entered at Covington Postofiice

Covington, Ga., Mar. 13 , 1003.
Mon. James. 11. Blount.
Georgia has l<*«t one of her
most distinguished s >;is by t he
dearth <*f Hon. James H. Blount,
* who represented the Macon dia
t'trict in Congress for twenty years
i md whose last public service was
tin tbe Hawaiian Isl-nnis, to which
la* was sent as Commissioner
Paramount 1 by President Cleve
land ten y*ars ago.
‘ Col. Blmtnt went into the Con
f .MJentfe-service from Bibb county
-• and rose to the rank of lieutenant
■colonel. As lie entered congress
in 1672 and continued in that
ImhIt uninterruptedly until 1SU2,
lie pas;ed through the hist.l ie pe¬
riod when tho tremendous force
i*f Republican agencies was em¬
ployed to convert the Southern
status into mere satrapies of the
federal power and lie was one of
the most courageous aud constant
i i assisting Randall and others
in saving the South from utter
subjugation then, and in aiding
in its resuscitation thereafter
.He r*.Aw to liigh place in congress,
•Timing a niemb.-r of the wavs and
ii.e'.ii s committee, in this n sped
•iml otnerwise being able to serve
las >>wn people and the country at
Jafgtf most effectively. His per¬
sona) influence was very strong
and be maintained the esteem of
bis associates to theend, standing
high in the confidence of bml,
sides of \he chamber, though a
pro n .>nced Democrat of the old
line.
It was natural, under the cr
cuinstances that President Cleve
Lmd should have turned to him
for aid when the ejection of Queen
Eiiioukalani lrom her throne in
Hawaii occurred toward the close
of Harrison’s term and the honor
of tbe United States was thought
to have been compromised by the
extra-legal methods pursued. Col
JBlount remained for ten months at
Honolulu and it was almost solely
upon his report iliat Mr.
land predicated the famous mes¬
sage to congress in which he re¬
versed the policy of Harrison,
fsince he retired from the eom
mandersliip Col. Eluunt has
ms days in his oid home,
among his old conistituents, en
joying those rewards which come
to one after the complete
of every trust and responsibility
which he had been delegated by
their favor that liad never been
with-held.
Now pull for new enterprises.
tome men are liars by nature
and some by chance, but a major¬
ity by strenuous cultivation.
A man never knows how truly
gratified he was for a past favor
-until it is lime to ask another.
d ell only the good things you
know of your town. It is hard for
any thing to succeed when people
give it a bad name.
