If there are more men than women in Thomasvlile, they don’t make the same showing. The Socalist party in this country has about backed off the boards and given up in disgust.

This, how ever seems to have proven a mistake but the committee will meet anyway and discuss some proposed changes in the present arrangement. The committee will meet soon in Atlanta to consider the changes that might seem advisable and will make a report to the legislature, which may or may not be followed. It is certain ly not particularly necessary to worry about changes when there are no new districts to be formed, perhaps this being the first instance where it is not in many a decade. Yet there are certain dissatisfactions that could be eliminated without undue harm to anyone and it is just os well to do this, provided they to not stir up more of a similar kind in th»* process of transfer. 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 i good days duriug the past win- 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 Jolng nothing but sending the patient •ack South. People who think importance is al-1 ways accompanied by ostentation bad, Iftticultv in realizing the position Henry P.

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 teed in the constitution should not be 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 finitely more justice be settled with out a gun. We never will live to see the day when the coward or the drunkard will not invoke the aid of gunplay and this means death and buffering, where there should be none, How many men are hung for tak ing human life these days? How many of those who take human life have a pistol illegally concealed about their person? When you consider these two things Senator Golucke is to be encouraged in any method that will legally abate the habit. 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- f pie.st man, and a Texas newspaper en ters its choice as follows: "A Georgia paper claims to have found the happiest man in the world. The man lives in Xorth Georgia. He has six fiddles, ten children, thirteen hounds, a (leaf and dumb wife and a I moonshine still that has never been | spotted by enforcement officers. "No doubt the Georgian is a hap py man,” says the Memphis Scimitar, j “but we believe we know a genus [homo who is getting more Joy out of life than the Georgian.

These ‘creeers’ are popularly known as n:onkey-rope, appropriately enough, since many varieties of mon keys are to be found in these forests. “With the exception of the horizon tal network of ‘monkey-rope* those thickets are vertical forests as truly as New York has been called a Verti cal City.’ They furnish a mute ex ample of inanimate objects valorous ly striving for their places in the sun light. Not only are the trees over grown, but it would seem that they had pulled aloft, to a similar scale, the bushes which often are twice as high as a man and the weeds, which graze your shoulder instead of entang ling your feet. “Finally, so fertile is the equatorial soil, that nature is far from satisfied with the plant life which clutters the soil and cranes its foliage aloft to get a speck of sunshine, but nourishment is afforded a second crop of parasitic plants, such as the orchids which grow from the branches of the Bora- bax trees. “The Gold Coast Colony stretches along some 270 miles of a harborless coast, and extends back for about half that distance to the border of Ashan- Its government seat, Accra, which escapes by only a few degrees of hav ing both a latitude and longitude of zero, is reputed to be especially un healthful. The entire region is hot and damp, has two rainy seasons, and is swept by that peculiarly dust-laden Sahara wind, the harmottan. Along this coast lies Kormantine. famous as the place where slaves first were exported, which the name, Cor- mantynes, to the West Indies slaves which came from this region. Of the estimated population of a million, fewer than 2.000 are Euro peans. The most noted of the native peoples are the Fanti whose women of light brown skin are pretty. Their favorite perfume is distilled from the excrement of snakes. Shark flesh, sun dried is a favorite edible. Among them, as among many primitive fight ing peoples, mothers are held in high esteem. Property is inherited by the oldest son or the oldest sister. Land is held in a communal fashion, the possession of a gold ‘stool’ being the badge of a chief’s authority to the lands over which he holds sway. Areas are assigned to families but they revert to the community upon the holder’s death. “Trees, plants, animals, snakes and insects are found in amazing variety. Here, as in many other verdant tropi cal regions, flowers are not nearly so abundant. The animate curiosity of the Gold Coast is the driver ant. which also constitutes its worst pest. The driver-ants constitute the stand ing army of the insect world. They |have a system of caste and rank, and j the naturalist gravely tells that the {workers are a quarter of an inch long.

The movement will undoubtedly get warm support in many quarters. It win be as bitterly opposed in others, where the people realize that it is merely an opening wedge to bring back a flood of wines, beers and stronger drings that will be sold over the open bar or with reckless disre gard for all law as is evident In many cities, some of them South of the Mason and Dixon line.

The golden age of the Gold Coast, com mercially considered, was in the duy> of flourishing slave trade, and the oil fields promise again to outbuy the entire product of the gold grains win nowed from the sands of the many rivers of this region. # “When you read that three-fourths of the colony is covered with thick forests you get a very inadequate idea of what you would see could you look upon the amazing fastnesses of Bombax trees, piercing the skyline at a hundred feet, with columnar trunks free from branches below the top quarter-length.
