Thomas B. Reed, statesman,
politician and jurist, died in Wash*,
jngton Saturday night of Brights
disease.
In the death of Mr. Reed, this
country loses one of its smartest
men and a good citizen. Thomas
B. Reed was a man of wonderful
intellectual power, and a very keen
reader of men and human nuture.
Perhaps his strongest claim to fame
rests on his career as speaker of the
National House of Representatives.;*
There he made a reputation as,
perhaps, the greatest parliaments
rian the -world has ever known.'
Hisrulings mtbatbody have.become
the standard for regulating the;
deliberations of that body. In
debate, his logic sand reasoning
were clear, sharp and incisive, his'
sarbasm was severe and withering,
and his capacity to frame a witty
and sarcastic, rejoinder in debate
was something wonderful.
Although a bitter partisan, his
name will always be reverned by
the American people.’

Touching on the fact that he might
at some time in the future be a
candidate for the presidency, Mr,
Hearst said:
’ Some weekly papers we know of

“Published every week if possible."

William R, Hearst says that it is
most to soon just yet for him to
think of trying for the democratic
presidential nomination, and there
are, doubtless, many people who
will agree with Mr. Heatst in this
opinion.
A report comes from Atlanta to
the effect that Tom Watson will re
enter the ranks of the democratic
party and take the stump for the
democratic presidential nominee in
1904. Hurrah 1 for Tom Watson;
we always knew his heart was in
the right place, if his head did go
astray.
A very striking iact, and one
that is proudly spoken of by the
people ot the South is the great
number of Southerhors who have
gained fame and .distinction in the
great metropolis of New York City
within the past few years in both
business and professional lines.
Some of the most prominent mem
bers of the New York bar today
were born and bred in .the fair
Southland. Some of that city’s
best and most substantial business
men are proud to call their home in
the land ot sunshine and cotton.

The New York Sun has sent a
representative through the south
who will visit all the important
cities and write them up for his
paper. This bit of enterprise on
the part of the Sun will, indeed, be
a great help to the south, and will
doubtless gause the investment of
more northern capital m this
section.

A scheme has been unearthed in
connection with the proposed ad
mission of the territories of Arizona
and New Mexico wherein the
notorious Quay, of Pennsylvania,
und others o? his henchmen had
their plans all nicely lain to make
10ms rich hauls by the admission of
these territories into the Union.
The schemes were all well formu
lated, and if no power to prevent
their consummation intercedes in

With her great natural advantages

Are the people degenerating aud
growing more and more like wild

these sickening records of crime,
how is it possible to believe the
world is growing better instead of
worse.

For goodness sake, Bro. Toney,
what are you talking about? You
have gone back ten thousand years
Into ancient history and delivered 5
yourself of.a most vrvidnndleurned
dissertion on the .uncivilized and
savage son of the forest; trad the
evolution and predestination of the
black hued descendant of Ham;and
you have searched und scraped the
innermost recesses of your cranium
for illustrations and parodies, which
you have flung at us in such force
as to take our breath away. You
have even went so far as to - bring
the Saviour into the argument,
when he has never had a word to
say in regurd to the matter. Tell
us, dear brother, what are you
driving at anyway. If it takes a
column for you to explain a little
four-iine article, what would you
do with a subject'd importance?
The Clinch County News asks
this timely question: “Why is it
that the democratic party, cannot
find a leader in the South—in
Georgia, the very stronghold of
democracy ?" The answer is simple
enough. Just ns long us the South
remains a solid South, just so long
will it fail to furnish a democratic
presidential candidate. The south’s
vote is assured for any democratic
nominee, whether he comes from
the north, east, west or. elsewhere,
and the politicians know it, .It is
not necessary to bait, the -south to
secure her vote, and hencethe'south
gets no presidential candidate.
