Subscription Rates: One Year A hen-peeked man is a pitiful object, really. And Ty Cobb continues to coia money. The Thanksgiving hunting season is getting real close. The people of the Second District could not have been more honored than in having as their guests at so sad a time the representatives of Georgia in the national legislative halls. Only one was absent and ho from necessity. The lias ball now a ecu so threatening the freedom of the press. Tlie game was made by the news paper publicity which is given f.'oo of charge, so anything tending to hamper its publicity would not ben efit the stock-holders. The Yale football players, as ; part of their training are taklr.j daily swims in the surf. A Wisconsin teacher stubbed his toe on a fifty thousand dollar gold brick, another ot the Professors to make good. Announcements for Congress In the Second district aren’t going to be long coming or few, when they do start. Beavers is the first ono to be handed the axe. according to the dope from Atlanta. And then the deluge. “A stunning girl often shocks some good sister,” announces the Times-Recorder. The dope seetns to intimate that the “stunner” isn’t a good sister. The contest doesn’t end until Jan uary tenth, so don't get discouraged because you aren't loading on the first count. Within the. borders of TUomasvillc yesterday were more distinguished men in national affairs than ever in one time before, although we have entertained some of the na tion's most prominent men of the past fifty years at different times. While many names are being sug gested for the coming primary, it seems that at least Messrs. Luke. Cox, Banks and Park will he in the race to succeed Judge Roddenbery. Hoke Smith wont have any oppo sition now that even the most, nr dent opponents see it is absolutely and positively useless. Judge Roan has decided to hear the motion for new trial in the Frank case. The latter has not signified his pleasure thereat. Joe Cannon figures that he will go hack to Washignton. Probably doesn’t think Champ Clark knows how to run things without his help. Who will be able to acceptably fi’l Roddenbery’s shoes? HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS PEOPLE From time immemorial, It has been the pleasure of men to honor and revere those who died in the discharge of duty, if it occurred either on the field of battle or in the more peaceful pursuits, where courage, as strong and as persistent, is demanded. Such was tho fate of our friend and fellow-townsman, Seaborn Anderson Rodden- bery - S. L ' - , i A great mind in a frail body has succumbed as we all must some day, some time. In its path there is an abundance of purposeful en deavor, worthy deeds and kindly acts. His was a life that was full to the brim with work—earnest, forceful, persistent work for those who placed their trust and their ifaith in him. As a statesman, a thinker, a worker, a friend, we honor his memory. “Friendship and love,” he once said, “must be builded upon character.” On those terms he baa claimed th« love and friendship of nearly every man ho has known. The strength of his character was founded on two noticeable things: power of will and Mlf-con- trol. His feelings were decisive, his control over them more so. Mastering himself was his first lossou, and he learned it well, 'lhe others came comparatively easy. He was the faithful embodiment of truth—and what 1ft there in life that demands more admiration than this, the simple truth, free of deceit, cupidity or designing self-emulation; on the other hand, what is more pitiful than the man »lio is wafted from the path of virtue by tho fickle winds of egotism and left stranded on the sands of dis honor? His life was clean, his purpose clear and his endeavors crown ed with the laurel wreath of honor. No love of self display marred his life, no envy or malice brought the bitterness of self-reproach, no Injustice came back to torture and rack with Its accusing injury. The obstacles he met were re- •iperted but they were valiantly overcome. He stood his ground iu the face of bitter opposition, but he was an opponent who would not stooii to vast the stigma of shame upon his rival. He was fair in all things, just to his fellowman and worthy of the confidence of both hi- friends and his enemies. Seemingly In the glow of health and strength, ho gained a cov eted uoal. He had prepared himself for the life of an active mar., doing his best for those whom he was delegated to represent. He began at once to make himself felt In the councils of the nation’s most honored men. t’nmindful of warning, knowing the frailty of his body and the consequences which it might suffer as a result of overwork, ho went bis way without flinching front the awful end. Staring death face to face, he performed to the best of his power those duties which he felt rested upon him. Afraid of death are many men—not so with him. He sacrificed himself for his people, simply and unos tentatiously, without regret or*bi*ternes:s, because he believed it was bis duty. He died as he had lived. He never faltered In his ideals. He never wavered from the path of right. His was a life that we look back on with respect and admiration .his death an inscrutable au of providence that carried to our Maker one of those noble men whose life had passed the beauty of its morning and reached the heat and the struggle of noon-tide, only to be shadowed and darkened at its merid ian height by the storm which takes away and leaves In Its wake deso lation and despair. . ~ ^ . Tlie peo; : of the Second Congressional District of Georgia could not have <ho>.n a man to represent them, who would have given as much as he has. They could not have found a man who would have looked more < arefully after their interests and fought more zealously and persistently for their rights. The struggle ended as he knew it would and he was satisfied. In years to coma, the memory of Anderson Roddenbery win live long 1b the heart# ot bis peopls, moro especially those who knew him and enjoyed his personal friendship.

In closing the noon-day service, he spake very tenderly of the death of our late lamented Statesman, Hon. Seaborn Anderson Roddenbery. Rev. T. A.
