The Story of a Song
Jasus Lover of My Soal.
C.and J. Wesjjgy, with one Richard
Pilmore, late in the twilight of an
autumn day, sought to hold an open
air preaching service. Hardly had
these impassioned men begun this
service when an infuriated mob
collected, yelHng and shouting at
the exhorters. Led by a wild en
thusiast, the rabble began pelting
the three defenceless men with
stones, whereupon they turned and
fled for their lives. They found
shelter from' the cruel missiles un¬
der a friendly hedge, where, ex¬
hausted, the^ lay prone upon their
faces, till they fqlt it %vere safe to
venture td a more secluded refuge.
This they found, after the rabble
scattered, in a spring house, where
the cool water babbled and chir¬
ruped down the green garden,
past the hedge, laughingly skipping
through mead and along fern-fring¬
ed rock cuts, toward the great river
yonder. Charles Wesley, with a
tveice of beaten lead, amid the med
k
Rations of (his cheery refuge, as
If his pencil had been dipped in in¬
spiration, wrote this hymn which
now for more than one hundred
and fifty years has been • , glad
evangel in the story of Christ’s
church. Their flight doubtless sug¬
gested the line:
Let me to Thy bosom fly.
The babbling waters purled the
thought
While the nearer waters roll. ,
As they washed their wounds
aiidbrilises in (he cool flow, and
dtank long and dbep of the rill of
reflre*hnkfnt, there caine the pray¬
erful longing,
_r; • - * 1
Ix-t the healing stream nlxmn<\
Make uml k«*i» me jmre within.
T(^e third verse of (he original
hymn is generally emitted, but it
pictures forth their helpless ren.
dition.
Wilt TIh’H not regard my rail?
Wlit Tln>n not uerept my i*r»yerP
Lo! I sink, f faint, I falf.
L©! ou Thee 1 east my rare.
Roiksh me ont Thy strength receive.
WhlUi 1 ut Tby strength twelve,
Hoping against hope, I stand,
Lying,and behold l live.
Revived and refreshed by the
fountain of living water, he wrote :
Thou of life tl»f fountain art,
Freely let me take of Thee.
Spring Thou up within my heart,
film to alt eternity
The whole hymn is a photograph
in m6lo<jy of their weary, heart¬
sick sorry, plight, 'with none other
refuge than the bosom of their be¬
loved Master, in whose name they
served and for w hose sweet sake
tley suffered.

It is remarkable that so little
attention should have 'been paid
to stock raising, in Georgia. As
was- pointed out at ‘the Griffin
dairy convention a few days ago,

running brooks, w hose waters find
their way to the great rivers and
thence to ‘the ocean. Her soil

Forest Fires
The most horrible calamity that
has presented itself for years is tl)ie
dreadful forest fire that raged and
carried destruction before it in
Minnesota last Saturday and Sun¬
day, in which not less than 500
lives were lost and untold amount
of property destroyed. People
eould not be gotten to at all and

towns of Hinkly, Shell Lake and
four or five others have been en¬
tirely wiped out of existence. 5 '
The dead bodies of the inhab¬

The Sooth to the Front.
In an editorial on the develo
ment of the south The New York
World finds great signification in
the fact that in the past three years
“there has been a marked increase
in exports from southern ports,”
and says that the opportunities for
1; Vjt * ‘
southern development _ r v —■
were never
more favorable than at present.
In an intelligent survey of the field
The World says:
“On the whole the south has
shown steady and healthy growth
rather than the feverish activity of
over-stimulation.
The greater part of the immi¬
gration of the last twenty years
has gone westward rather than
southward, because most of the
railroad building^of that period
was westward. The exception
proves the rule, for Texas into
which more miles of railroad have
been built than into any other
southern state, has been enormously
developed during that period in
population and in facilities for pro¬
duction.
As the last of the great tracts of
government land in the west have
been absorbed in the opening of
Oklahoma, those who seek cheap
homes hereafter must seek them in
the south. Tl|e superiority of the
climate in the southern states, the
absence of destructive droughts and
the variety of products give that
section great advantages. Undoubt¬
edly the time has come for a greater
activity in southern railroads and
southern enterprises of all kinds
than has yet been seen.”
These are encouraging words.
The south,by the progress she is
making, stands prominently before
the country now, and the work
which is being done in the line of
industrial developments is receiving
cordial endorsement everywhere.
This should stimulate us to renewed
energy in bringing our wonderful
resources to light. “The harvest
is plentiful” but there is need of
more laborers to gather it.
Our international exposition is
the south’s opportunity. Every
soy them state should go to work
with one end in view : the fullest
exhibit of its resources in the great
galaxy of states. The south must
be on her mettle, and prove clear
titlf to the claims that she has
made. She will be on dress parade
before the nations when the ex¬
position opens. And she must
win the “wel| done” of the world.
— Capt. J. P. Cleghorn
The Os^tpsh (Wis.) Signal, in
a recent article says: “Capt. J. F.
Cleghorn, our candidate for' gov¬
ernor, is well known to the prohi¬
bition army of Wisconsin, he hav¬
ing been one of the wheel horses
in the long fight against the liquor
power. A Canadian by birth, his
parents-removed early in his ybuth
to Illinois, and it was there that her
received an academic and legal ed¬
ucation. Soon after he was ad¬
mitted to the bar. the war broke out
and he enlisted as a private; in a
volunteer regiment. Here ability
and bravery gained bim rapid pro
motion and he rose by successive
steps to the brevet rank of hcjtjfijilii

entertaining and convincing speak¬
er and a pleasing singer.
Come Down and 'See Us
The Public Ledger of Philadel¬
phia, discussing the work of the
southern development meeting in
Washington city, says:
If the unemployed young men of
our northern cities wore convinced
that the south hejd out reasonable
prospect of steady employment,
that there wa6 a future for them
there, the tide which had been flow¬
ing westward would move toward
oyr southern states. Northern,also
capital of the world, would follow
the stream. The same magnet
would attract muscle and money.
The chief resource of the south is
agriculture, but she is awakening
to the benefits of diversified indus¬
try. Even in agriculture there is
still great opportunities throughout
the southern belt. With cheaper
land many young northern farmers
might find to the southward a pros¬
perous future.
There is but one sure way to.
convince the people of the north of
the permanency of the advantages
which the south offers, and that is,
to have them come soutlj and see
for themselves; Once Jierc, they
will not be disappointed. They read
newspapers that speak of south¬
ern progress and take their state¬
ments on trust: in other words,
many of them only half believe the
facts that arc .set forth from time
to time.
In every instance where northern
men have personally investigated
the claims made for this section by
southern journals, they have either
been sastisfied to remain with us or
have invested their money in south¬
ern enterprises.
The town of Demorest, in this
state is a flourishing one. It was
settled entirely by northern people,
who, in keeping up regular com¬
munication with their friends at
the north, have been the means of
bringing capital to Georgia from
all points. They came,looked over
the field and remained with us.
As to the second proposition in
The Public ledger’s nrticle, land
is cheap in the south. In most
cases it requires little, if any, capi¬
tal to secure it. It can be rented
on the most reasonable terms, and
a small portion of the crops it yields
is all that is required for the rental.
Northern young men- who arc will¬
ing to work need not, therefore,
be deterred from coming south by
the price of land, or the perman¬
ency of employment when once they
are enlisted in the work of farm
development.
All the conditions south are favor¬
able to capital and labor. The soil
is fertile, the climatefii\e, the peo¬
ple hospitable. Let them come
an(i test the fatness of the land for
themselves,—Constitution.
