Uncle Sam wonjd condescend to .cross the Atlantic ocean to see the spoilt son of tyUCeii Victoria crotoned king of Eng- lands'-. Verity, ifcis a condedeention as well iis ana,ti->iial blunderfor a republic ■ like ours to appoint or create a special embassador to represent the United ' Stntes-at the'coronation-of King Ed- ' ward VII, of England. President Roosevel t Jins made a serious blunder - in appointing Holi. VVliiteiavv Reid and ■others to represent Uncle Sanfut the •' eoronntiuiiof tiie New King of England. No special objcctioti'can be made to the -appointment purse, but the principle keiiind the appointment of Mr. Reid is where the chief danger lies. England has A king to ruje over them, we have a president. England as a nation takes . ho official notice of the United StateB when.we inaugurate a presidents -Why should Uncle Sam take any official „ notice of tiigltindvvhen she crowns a king? , It was the king of England that enslaved the American colonies, it was these.spirte kings that so oppressed Our forefaWiei's that provoked them to rebel against the crowned heads of England- Just think ofGenSral \Vash- ington-sending Benjamin Franklin or Patrick Henry to represent the UnRed States at thd coronation of a British King. iVhiUdaw Reid will be required Vo puC on red pants alid a scarlet coat at the coronation. Does this' remind you of the' famous saying of General Stark When he said to his men on the eve of battl,\ that he “would make the t red coats fly or Mollie Stark would be I u Widow that night.” Who was it that seht the red coats to this country in 1770 t v destroy every liberty loving inhabitant:. He was a crowned king of England. When Cornwallis surrender ed his Sword to Washington at York- town, and when the Declaration of Independence was adopted we, as a free and independent nation, declared to the nations of the world thut we would never recognise the authority of a crowned king of England. Every true and patriotic American citizen shodld cry aloud with trumpet blast against this great evil until every child of liberty in .the Unitqd States shall hdar and heed,* - A.,' 1-1 Germany has been imbolden by the • president sending the Reid party to the coronation of Edward, by .offering the United States a statue of Frederick the Great, During the progress of the revolutionary war Washington’s army “was marching through the streets of New York, and as they neared a statue qf King George, Washington command ed the king’s statue to -be made into bullets gnd to be used in .destroying the king’s' army in America, and this command Was promptly executed. We do not want the statue of a king to rest on American soil. If the authorities ol the United States should accept the Her of Germany to give Unole; Sam e statue of a king—place it by the Washington cenotaph at our national capital, then we would have an object lesson for the American people to study. It is high time that our president was stopping this flirtation be is carrying on with the crowned heads of Europe. If some of the snobbish millionaires of the United States want to marry their sons and doughteifs to titled men and women of Europe regardless of their character, and bow to the feet of royal officialslet them do so, but let our high officials and diplomats see to-it that our glorious flag is not dragged along in: the dust behind a coronation procession, nor wrapped around the > statue of a royal king. , When that noble Frenchman, Be- tholdi presented to the United States the “Statue of Liberty Enlightening the Nation,” that stands'out in bold relief in New York harbor, he made a grand contribution to our symbols of 'liberty. Wbara indebted to France tor this kind of a statue, but we cannot accept a statue of a king symbolising slavery, oppression and tirany. - That > a TW© T© BE TW© T© BE DEFEATED; ALE* F©UR GOOD MEN , .

HARVARD, Unadilla, Ga. was an inspiring occasion. that took place iu Washington May 24th, when the statue of Marshal DeRocliainbeau, was erected, the compatriot of Wash* ington and commander-in-chief of the French forces in America during the Revolutionary war. We delight to erect statues to such foreigners as this one was, but we perionsly object to haVing statues of kings placed on our shores It is quite proper for our peo ple to be polite to even foreigp guests, but there was too much ado made over Prince Henry when he was hero recent ly. Because we were polite and frater nal to princes does not lollotfr that we would accept a statue of a king. The death pf Lord Pauncefote, the Ambassador from England, May 24th, is gceatly deplored by both England and America. He was an able-statps- man and a superb diplomat; his ability as a diplomat has been fully demon strated by the delicate yet Arm manner in. which he has settled many grave questions that have arisen between the United States and England during his term of office. The Pauncefote and Hay treaty will go into history as a greater" one than the- Clayton and Rnlwar treaty. But we ore bound to admit that Pauncefote got the best of Uncle Sam in the treaty. He was de servedly popular both at home and in the United States. J. D. Nobbib. ' JUDGE H. W. POWELL, Vienna, Ga. UNIVERSALIST SERVICE. Dr. Q. H.

A TAX PAYER WRITES , ABOUT “UNCLE” GEORGE And Says He'Did Right in Changing the Legal Adver Pinehurst, Ga., June a-—I want to say a few words in regard to the Sheriff’s race. Sheriff Sheppard chunged the legal advertisements from the Progress to the New6, which be has a perfect right to do under the law. The Progress iri a feeble way is trying to make the the people believe tlmt the Sheriff wag paid to move them. Now, of course it is but nutural that the editor of the Progress would try to to give some excuse other than the right explanation in order to try to defeat Mr. Sheppard and elect n man that he thinks would give them back to his paper. But when the people have been informed for sev eral weeks that the editor of the Progress tried to get 'he Sheriff to keep the advertisements in that paper by u money consideration and having been refused by the Sheriff, who said that a money consideration would not change his mind, that he was not made our of that kind of material—thepeople will believe the Sheriff as they know him too well, ' ■ For my own information I asked. “Uncle George” why he changed them?' “Well, I have had some little trouble in getting the adver-' tisement published correctly and have received considerable com plaint from parties about the-in- con'venienence and expense they have been put to about the mis takes.” Upon the above explanation and knowing that the NEws.is publish ed twice-a-weelc, we think that the Sheriff did exactly right in clvuig- ing the advertisements to the News. We have nothing against either paper. We beleye the News is. the best paper ever published in Dooly county. , Crops'it} this section are little and- some are in'.bad shup* on ac count of the scarcity of labor. If it keeps getting worse for jive years longer like it has for the past five the poor laborers won’t he able to pay their taxes, which increase every year. In my opinion there are too many leaks or too many rascals. Let’s put men in office that will hunt those leaks and cork them up so tight the waves won't wash them out. What did they tell us when Mr. Candler and his followers were running for office? Did they not go beiore the people on the plea that our taxes were too high, and should be reduced? Have they re duced them? No! They haves.ead- ■ ily increased, and wrongly too. If ^ a horse wont pull well have a reme dy ond if that remedy won’t do. take him out and hitch in one that will. If our common people would post themselves and not listen to the shrewd politician* we would act wiser in making up our minds as to what is best. Isn't it a fact that the way the Union depot bill was drawn up that there is no limit to the cost of the building? In my opinion then it will cost at least one million dol lars before it is completed. It is u scheme to force the sale of the state road. I hope Dootv will send two men with enough nerve to stand up for the people’s rights and not be made merchandise of and sail* able nor influenced by, ring rules. So I say hurrah for Fields. He is small n« to size but he has the in terests of t.'.e people at heart and will stand steady in the boat. Tax Payer Foley’6 Honey and Tar cures colds, prevents pneumonia. THE MCNIC AT MT, VERNON SATURDAY Large Crowd was Present and EreryWdy Had a Eiee Time. SovetuI Viennians attended & ! neighborhood picnic- givenat Mt, Vernon last Saturday. The picnic was given principally in honor of the 64th birthday of Mrs JordanII.. Forehand, in the oak grove just ip front of the home. A large crowd*' of both old and young people were present and the day was very much- enjoyed. Various games were in dulged in during the ^ay.. Free lemonade was on the ground, which seemed to be as plentiful as water. Several people were present from other towns and communities. About 1 o’clock dinner which had been carefully prepared by the different families in that community was spread upon the tables arid everybody invited to partake, Which was done in a hearty manner. There was enough left after all had par taken to have fed sufficiently an other such crowd. The writer had long before been reminded that Mt. Vernpn and Pleasant Valley communities were the garden spots of the great state of Dooly, and upon our first visit to them we need not be told a^ain to be fully convinced of .the truth fulness of the statement. It Was n day spent that , will long be remem bered by ’ all that attended. May thes> twd;neighbors.live long and prosper; _> > NEGRO KILLED.
