THE MAYOR TO THE CHILDREN
Among all tbe Fourth, of July
oration* wo Me none better than tbe
thlrty-elx line* which Mayor Gaynor
wrote for tbe echool children of New
York, ft wa# unnecessary for him
to multiply word* on the revolution
and the aliening at Philadelphia.
The children know about that. But
It was well to tell them or to re
mind them that—
“No official In thl* county, how
ever high, can exerctso any arbitrary
power whatever.
"Our public officials can only do
what the laws empower them to do.
"Those pnt In office by tbe peopl-
ean not do aa they like, but only
as tbe laws prescribe.
"There la no more dangerous
man In this free county than the
than the law* or can do as he Hkee
official who thinks that he la better
regardless of tbe laws.
"We celebrate this day, year after
year, ao that we may not forget the
principles and safeguards of free
government and by forgetting, lose
them.”
A celebration which but glorify
the past and bear no message for the
present and the futrue would not be
worth the while.

Watermelon Crop Will Exceed the
Laat by 1,000 Cars.
Georgia's peach season la practi
cally over. The total movement of
the luscioua fruit from the produc
ing centers to the Northern mar
kets did not exceed 760 car*.
Tbia season’s movement is un
usually small aa compared with that
of the laat few seasons. Laust season
over 4,00 car* were shipped from
the Georgia peach center* on the
;iinea of the Central of Georgia Hall
way. The Central traffic officials
prepared for a movement of 1,000
cars this season, but were not sur
prised that the crop did not come
up to this. While there will be a
few carg to be ahlppod yet the
son !■ practically closed.
This season’s watermelon crop Is
expected to exceed by 1,000 cars
that of last year. So far the Cen
tral has shipped 1,640 cars of
melons and the season will not close
until about Aug. 10. The cantaloupe
shipment# while not unusually large,
have been satisfactory. Tbe Central
has moved 329 cars. The canta
loupe season Is rapidly closing, and
In a few days the entire crop will
have been shipped.

"Storm before seven, sunshine
’fore Teven." That Is tha old say
ing and It hardly aver falls. It
came true this morning. How long
the sun will shine remains to be
seen.
The rain this morning was a gul
ly-washer, a ground-soaker and a
trash-lifter. It waa the kind they
used to get otter praying for rain.
It was really a little more than
we needed. In fact, we had enough
rain two or three days ago. Too
much of anything Is too much—it
hurts. _7r
Crops can stand more dry weath
er than they can rain—so can peo
ple. During a drouth the crops
ive in hope, they struggle and work
like a hungry man to keep on liv
ing, but In wet weather K Is dif
ferent. Folks get grouchy and blue
mildewed," as it were—and
crops they swell up and die of drop
sy, Indigestion or gout Tbey flour
ish like a green bay tree for awhile
and then tbey begin to show the
effects of "too much of a good
thing." All sorts of dlseasss prey
upon them and tha farmer la the
loser.
The rain this morning—or father
the flood—started at I o’eloek. It
was about a minute after the town
clock struck and a minute later an
other clock sounded the alarm. It
started with a few drops rattling* On
the roof, but it was only a minute
or two before the rattle became a
cannonade. The water swept
through the mains, drains and gul-
ley, like rivers, washing the streets

There were good mine In the city
yesterday, but the rain then did not

E BADLY
NEEDED HERE
More Street Paving and
Enlargment of City Hall
HILL AVENUE SHOULD BE PAVED
BEFORE COTTON BEGINS TO
COME IN AND CITY HALL
SHOULD BE ENLARGED.
(From Thursday’s Dally)
Valdosta Is In great need of some
Improvements that cannot be made
without another Issue ot bonds.
Hill avenue ought to be paved to
the warehouses at once, as the
sireet Is almost Impassable for
heavy vehicles after a rain.
A city can do no better work
than to make improvements of this
kind. Money put Into pavements is
an Investment that brings back
profits. All cities that exper.i to
grow and amount to anything ar<-
constantly making improvements of
tills kind. No city that we know of
hnr. made much progress without
issuing bonds to pay for tbe im-
piovements.
Valdosta ought to add about $20,-
000 to her present city hall so as
to make It worthy of the town. At
the present time the council cham
ber is occupied by the chief of po
lice, the city engineer, the board of
trade and as a sort of Junk room
generally. The city clerk Is cramp
ed for room and the city prison Is
occupying a room that was origi
nally Intended as the mayor’s offlze
or council chamber. The hall as It
row stands Is not worthy ot Val
dosta and Is really cf little use.
It could be enlarged and a splen
did auditorium built on the upper
story, which would make It a credit
to the city for years to come, while
the auditorium would more than
lay the Interest on the money ex
pended.
There should be no delay In mak
ing these Improvements Hill ave
nue should be paved at once and not
next year. It should be done be
fore the coming cotton crop, and
tbe city hall <■ urged
and the auditorium built In time lor
next, year’s conventions and mnslc
festival.
Valdosta people ought to get
busy on tnese matters and push
them through Let them be rv1';i-
teu, for It is by agitation that they
are brought to paBS.

I had consumption and the dreadful
cough I had looked like lt,s ure
enough. I tried everything I could
hear of for my cough, and was under
the treatment of the best doctor In
Georgetown, S. C., for a year, but
could get on relief. A friend advised
me to try Dr. King's New Discovery
I did so, and was completley cured.
I feel that I owe my life to this great

In the home, the rest of the tamlly

men trying to gain an entrance.
They could not tell whether tt
were white or black. While one
plucky girl barricaded the door to
the room In which they were, the
other rushed to the telephone. She
got Immediate connection and a
neighbor’s house was reached. The
moment the men outside heard '
commence to talk they broke and
ran and In five minutes the neigh
bor and his sons were on hand.

THE WILLIS COMPANY
Pays • Semi-Annual Dividend of H
Per Cent.
(From Thursday's Dally)
A few days ago The Times men
tlened the payment of dividends b;
several of Valdosta’s corporation*
We are today advised that the Wil
lis Company baa Just paid Its stock
holders * handsome dividend of 10
per cent, while another of the same
size will be palad In January. In
addition to this * good sum was
added to th* surplus.
This is a corporation which bsgi
business Oct. 1, 1909, and acts
general agent for the Empire Life
insurance Company. The territory
operated by this agency covers a
portion of Southern Georgia and
upper Florida, and it Is said that
It Is the largest Insurance agency
la this section of the country, doing
row a business of about $3,000,000
per annupi.
About 100 agents are under the
agency, some of whom give all their
time to soliciting, while others only
part of their.time, most of the
latter being bank cashiers. The
Willis Company acts as general
agent for the Empire Life, besides
arts as banker for these agents.
Last year, two 8 per cent divi
dends were paid by this agency,
while two 10 per cent dividends will
be paid this year. This means that
in two years’ time the agency has
returned 36 per cent of the capital
paid in, which we understand Is
very pleasing to the stockholders,
and should be.
The par value of the stock Is $10
Per share, while It Is bringing $30
«a the market.
The stockholders, we learn, are
scattered throughout the territory,
among whom are many of the lead
ing business men of the state. Mr.
W. C. Willis Is president of the
agency, while Mr. R. E. Knight la
secretary and treasurer. The suc
cess of the agency Is very largely
due these two men, -though they
naturally give the credit to the men
In the field.
Among the leading agents of th*.
Willis Company are J. M. McArthur,
T. W. SetUff and H. D. Everett, all
ol Valdosta. Jt Is said that the
names of these three agents never
fall to appear on the. Empire’s
monthly honor roll. .
To Bnlld New Ice Factory.
It Is understood that Mr. Go irgc
Varu contemplates building a new
ice factory on the old site up town,
as the demand for Ice this yea:
came near running away with hl<
factory out at thp Junction. t
The local demand for Ice aal th>
demand %hlcn femes In from ttaf
country around is larger than eve
before, while it also takes rnorf
lc6 than ever before for the refrig
erator cars that haul fruit and mel-
ens from this section to the mar
l:ets.
It is understood that work on th<
new factory will begin in a verj
bhort time.

For Beating His Wife.
Marshal Bostick, of Hahlra, came
down this morning and brought a
negro from that place and lodged I
him In jhil here on a charge of beat
ing his wife. The negros’ name is
Will Mathis.
The officer also brought a large
buggy whip which the negro la said
to have used upon the woman. The
beating occurred several days ago,
and the man is Bald to have used
tbe wbip about as hard as he could,
leaving stripes on the woman's back
and in several Instances the whip
drew blood.
The warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by the wife, but It was
two or three days before he could be
caught.
