MR. DAVISON’S MODESTY.
Mr. Henry p. Davison died under a
second operation for a tumor upon the
brain at his home in New York on
Saturday

Mr. Davison could be seen in bis
little Dodge automobile in front of the
Thomasville Post Office, saluting his
friends and acquaintances who pass
ed with a wave of the hand.
Every several days he would leave
the car to visit his physician in the
Masonic Building. Once, during the
winter, the patient insisted that the
ound. which was giving him some
trouble, be opened and he was sent to
York for this purpose. Within a
days he was seen upon the streets
getting his mail in the usual way and
stating that the abscess in his head
had burst on the way north, giving
him relief, the New York physician

Senator Gohicke would restrain
men by more formidable laws than
have ever been passed and he has
reached the point where he believes
that the right to bear arms guaran

construed to apply to those, who
might recklessly and carelessly use
them in taking human life
There is much to think about
this contention for the abridgement
of the right to bear arms cannot
construed to take away any vested
rights that are safe and sane, whan
men carry guns for the sole purpose
of having a handy weapon when they
get into trouble that could with in

THE HAPPIEST MAN.
Recently a search has been mode
tor “the happiest man,” with varying
degrees of success. A Georgia news
paper claims to have found the hap-

“Finally, so fertile is the equatorial
soil, that nature is far from satisfied

Of the estimated population of a

favorite perfume is distilled from the

sun dried is a favorite edible. Among
them, as among many primitive fight

esteem. Property is inherited by the
oldest son or the oldest sister. Land

possession of a gold ‘stool’ being the

The House of Congress has a bill

The sale of light wines and beer
would therefore be legalized under

to a referendum in each state, where
it was to be invoked and no legisla
ture would have the right to pass on

cided by those whom they elect.
The movement will undoubtedly get
warm support in many quarters. It
