TALK OF STATE CHAIRMAN.

An Interesting Hit of Political Gos
sip That Comes Prom Atlanta—du-
BiKnon Not Likely to Be at the
State Convention on Aeconnt of
His Health—There Will Bea Con
test Over State Chairmanship.
Atlanta, May 12.—The talk of Seaton
Granlland and Roland Ellis opposing
Clark Howell for president of the Senate
has given place to some state political
gossip of interest to South Georgia.
This is to the effect that Vico Chairman
E. T. Brown of the State Executive Com
mittee and Hon. Peter Meldrim of Sa
vannah will lock horns for the chairman
ship of the Democratic State Convention
on June 16.
Chairman dußignon is regarded os a
very sick man, and many of his closest
political friends and his physician have
recommended a complete rest from his
labors. A trip to Europe has been ad
vised, and it is said that Mr. dußignon
will go to Carlsbad, Germany. This
means, of course, that he will not be pres
ent at the State Convention, and, of course,
the political seers think there is a pretty
contest ahead for his successor.
Vice Chairman Brown would naturally
be in order, but it is hinted that the antl
dußignon faction will put MaJ. Meldrim
forward. This Is the talk on the tapis
here, and after all, the Savannah fight
may determine the head of the party for
the next two years.

ANNEXATION CASE LOST.
Ilacon Con Hold No Election—Dam
ages Given for Delay.
Atlanta, May 12 —The election called by
the Macon authorities to vote on annexing
certain territory under the act of 1819,

territory sought to be annexed filed a pe
tition before Judge Felton praying that
the city be enjoined from holding the
election. Judge Felton granted this in
junction, and the case was brought to the
Bupreme Court.

ed to-day. The case came up from the

personal injuries. He got a verdict for
S6OO. The Supreme Court, all concurring,
affirmed the judgment of the lower court,
end also ordered that 10 per cent, on the
principal and interest of the Judgment
rendered in the trial be awarded against
the Southern for bringing this case to the
Supreme Court, for delay only.

IN MEMORIAM.
IN MEMORIAM.
On Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 17, 1909,
a dark storrrveioiul gathered over the city,
but a deeper shadow fell upon many
hearts when it w-as announced that Drury
H. Woods had entered into the sleep of
death. Thus passed away from the earth,
one of its purest and gentlest spirits. Al
though only in his eighteenth year, he had
already developed many remarkable traits
of character, whose unfolding germs gave
promise of a useful and happy career. Na
ture had endowed him with her highest
and noblest gifts. He had a strong, clear
mind, a handsome persbn,\ and a most
amiable disposition. These natural gifts
liad been sanctified by grace and adorned
with the crown of religion. In childhood
he had given his heart to God, and the
earnestness of his subsequent life at
tested the reality of his early profession.
Of him. it could be truly said, that he
wore "the w T hite flower of a blameless
life.” It is rare indeed that such an earn
est, unwearying and intelligent interest in
religious affairs should be manifested by
one so young. His attendance upon the
public worship of the sanctuary was reg
ular and devout; he was never missing
from his place in the Sunday School, and
the Young Peoples' prayer meeting, and
ho often voluntarily sought to aid his pas
tor and facilitate his work. It may be
safely affirmed that, in the long history
of the Independent Presbyterian Church,
not one of its youthful members ever
more quickly won or more richly deserved
the confidence and affectionate regard,
not only of Christians, but of the commu
nity as well. His last appearance in
public was at the afternoon prayer meet
ing, where he sat by 'his mother’s side
and participated in the worship of God.
His demeanor was so gentle and winning
that it captivated all hearts; it was a pa
thetic but impressive illustration of his
genuine and unaffected sincerely, that
even during his brief sojourn in a great
commercial college Just prior to his
death, he won the unbounded love, both
of his classmates and teachers, as w-as
abundantly manifested, not only by their
affectionate tributes, but also by the beau
tiful flowers that were sent from a dis
tance, to Shed their fragrance on his new
made grave. But it was in the seclusion
of the home his real worth shone forth.
There, like a rare and tender plant, his
character ripened, revealing its highest
beauty and exhaling its truest sweetness.
His devotion to his family, and especially
to his mother, was beautiful to behokl.
But although so gentle, he was also en
dowed with unusual strength of character,
and when the great crisis of life threw its
shadow across his path, he faced It with
manly fortitude and unwavering courage.
It seems an inscrutable mystery of Provi
dence, that one ao young, so noble, so use
ful and promising, should be cut down, on
the threshold of manhood; but we believe
he has only been translated to the joys
oral rewards of the larger and richer life.
To him death was coronation. And while
we may sadly miss ills loved familiar form
in the home and the church, we are com
forted with the assurance that ha has
passed beyond all pain Into the brightness
of the Father’s presence, and awaits hts
loved ones in the heavenly home, where
parting is unknown. F.
