Editor Eagle: I read with much pleasure your article in last week’s paper—piece entitled Apostles of Faith—and it struck me very forcibly. As I am on that very track, and aware that those kind will do to bank on, I will presume to ask special favor of you —that you come out in your next is sue with rhe Man Who Never Smiles, but is a professional grouch, ' and Wet Blanket, at home and ■ abroad. Because he’s blowed in all !he feels able to, and his pleasures 1 are no more, owing to financial dis abilities, he stands by growling at everybody and everything don’t want his children to have anything like other boys. There’s no use in this, no use in that, and winds up with “You are not going to do it.” Burns up their simplest toy—swears as hard at his children for trivial offenses as he should for great things. Bur passes the important things by, justifying them. Because he, himself is so full of gall and hate and spite—all. I suppose, of a mis spent life, and having lost out, old age coming ou, only treasures the bitter, and hopes the sweet, as there was nothing in Lis soul lofty, pure, and holy to retain. Fix this up right —let it go to the spot—as I know you can. • Anonymous. Established in lSf>o. Palmour’s Pager. W. J. & E. C. Palmour are this week taking a page to tell the buy ing public about their many bar gains, and especially the millinery and spring goods opening for next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, March 9, 10, 11. Read every word of their ad and be on hand. China. Any figures for the population of China must necessarily be more or less unreliable, inasmuch as the cen sus man is not much in evidence in the land of the Celestials. The es timate, which is probably some where near correct, is 402,700,000. As to whether the millions of China will ever become thoroughly mod ernized, in the sense that the Japanese are, remains to be seen. The Chinaman possesses a plenty of good sense, and there seems to be no valid reason why he should not some time “catch on” to things and forge ahead with the rest of the folks. Bob Smith for Re-Election. The announcement of Mr. R. W. Smith for re-election as Clerk of the Superior Court will, be found else where in this issue of the Eagle. Mr. Smith has made Hall county an exemplary clerk. He is efficient, kind and obliging—always ready to look up any record you might want to see, and does it like it was a real pleasure to him, rather than a favor that he was granting you. Bob is a young man of the very finest business qualifications, and no mistake can be made by his re election. And his assistants, Messrs. Smith and Mincey, are excellent young men who are always there if it’s something you want to know in regard to court house affairs. The prospects are now that Bob will have no opposition for the place, which within itself speaks well of the manner with which he has handled the people’s affairs. Concerning the Apostles of Faith. ■*. Editor Eagle: I have not seen Mr. Belk in a long time, but the last time I saw him he looked like a man that enjoyed himself in the highest degree. Now back to the point. Christ called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases, preach the Kingdom of God, and take nothing for their journey. It seems that there were a great number of people, and if they would not hear, they were to shake off the dust of their feet for a witness against them. Faith comes by hearing, and how can they 7 call on Him in whom they 7 have not heard? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can they’ preach except they be sent? Now, it seems like the Devil has got the long end of the rope and a down-hill pull, ac cording to report from the papers. I am afraid there will be more called preachers go to Hell than any other class, if the Constitution tells the truth, and I guess it does. It says there are more runaway’ preachers than any other class. I may make my letter too long, but if you can spare the two columns across your paper to show up how Mr. Bobbie Wilson smiles, and Mr. Belk shakes hands, and Jasper Pierce talks —if they will join me. and Mr. W. H. Craig will declare himself a candidate for representa tive we will roll a wheel for him. I am not acquainted with Mr. Wil son, but the Editor gives him credit for an up-to-date farmer, and Mr. Belk an up-to-date preacher, and we want W. H. Craig to represent the people one time and learn them to quit making laws when they get done. And we would like to send Mr. Turner Quillian along with him —though we never heard Mr. Quil lian say a word rbout such a thing. But the farmer has a right to his choice, and Mr. Craig and Mr. Quil lian are the men we are looking for. Mr. Craig has handled the pen long enough to do anything he un dertakes. Come, boys, let’s line up with them like the cuckleburrs in a bell-weather’s wool. Jasper L. Pierce. There, now! We’re always put ting our foot in it. When we wrote that little piece about Jasper we had no idea he would get mad enough to w’ant us condemned to the Legisla ture. But Turner Quillian —he’ll do. We’ve got a sorter grudge against him ourself. HULL COUNTY PRIMARY TO BE HELD APRIL 10TH Meeting of Democratic Executive Committee of Hall County Tuesday Fixed the Date for Election.

C., in 1825, where he re sided until a young man, coming from that place to Hall county 7 , and locating in Wilson's district, where he joined Enon church at the age of 23 years and was a member of that church until it was destroyed by a cyclone.

Adams, Gainesville, Ga: Dear Mr. Adams: My assistant tells me that during my absence you called at my office and requested that I answer the question: “When the Board of County Tax Assessors should begin to perform their duties, and from what date they should be allowed to draw pay.” The act requires the Tax Receivers to close their books on the Ist day’ of May of each year, and within ten days thereafter to present the tax returns of the current year to the County Board of Tax Assessors. Within ten days from this date, that is, from the Ist day of May, the Board of County’ Tax Assessors are required to meet to receive and in spect the Tax returns so laid before them by’ the Tax Receiver, and they are required to complete this duty by the Ist day 7 of July. In other words, they cannot begin work be fore the Ist day’ of May. and they are required to meet within ten days from this date to begin ther duty. The members of the board are only compensated for the “time they are in actual discharge'of the duties required of them under the act.” Trusting the above gives you the information desired. I beg to remain. Sincerely Yours, T. S. Felder. Attorney General.
