While be bad, been somewhat ill for several days this was not gen erally known, and perhaps no one bad any serious spprebeueioue as to bis speedy recovery till witbiu a few minutes of his demise—the immediate cause of which proba bly was heart failure. In Metcalfe and vicinity no man was better known or more universally loved aud respected. So far as the writer ia aware of be had not one enemy in all tbe world, but so far as be was known amoug white and black, rich aud poor, every oue recognized in him a frteud, unpretending, but tried and true. Especially was be loved by the children, whom be loved iu turn with all bis heart. One of tbe saddest remit dors that he is uo more will be our failure to see him leading the little ones about tbe streets and makiug glad the world for them. He was not oulv a loved, but a trusted citizen, for be was mayor of our town during tbe year of 1900, and at the time of bie death was one of tbe conncilmen He was born Jan. 10, 1831, and leaves behind him oue sou and his loving wife.

Au instauc: “Candidates for the legislature should study the question of state insurance in or der that they may be able to act intelligeii'l? when that measure ia brought up in tbe next general aa sembly” Wbat is -tate insurance? Think well, O ye men wbo would assume tbe responsibilities of guiding our ship of state over tbe tossing waves that now surround her. There ie question far above dollars and cents that should be considered, one that no God fearing man cau disregard when be deposits his vote iu tbe coming elections. A man that claims tbe right and couples it with a profession of loyaltv to his Creator, dare not ehirk eo important a duty, for is he uot in a measure bis brother's keeper? _ Let us not forget that tbe voters of our couuly have twice spoken out in no uncertain terms their views on the question of insur ance as regards tbe welfare of our homes. We do not believe for a moment tne men of our county are ready to take a backward step Yet, when we see in every candi date's application, “subject to the democratic party” with never an allusion to tbe most vital question iu our state politics of tbe day; aud that, too, in tbe face of the fact that it is tbe same party that has so chivalrously stood by tbe women aud children, we have fears that some are fooling eeccre in past victories, forgetting that there ia no respite iu tbe war against eiu and that eternal vigi lance is tbe price of permanent success. Aa an angel of light Satan has deceived many. Geutlemeu, voters of Thomas county, study tbe question of state insurance for our boys, tbe future lawmakers. Wbat are dol lars worth compared to ruined homes? . What sense, reason or re ligion for favoring a scheme to make it easy for fathers to get drunk to educate their boys? Know your mao before you send bim to make laws for tbe protec tion of vour homes. See that bis ideas are clean cut on tbe liquor question, aud be brave enough to proclaim them anywhere and everywhere as he does bis party principles, for if be is not, be is astride the fence ready to fall ou tbe wioulng side We want men stroug enough to staod with tbe miuority iu tbe right and brave euough not to yield though de feat stares them in the face. De feat does not mean death to moral or political issues. A truly brave man will follow bis leader no mat ter wbat the consequences to him self. In tbie question of licensing evil because it cannot be entirely prohibited, wbo leads? Not all tbe logic or sopbietry, thought or written, can make it consistent with divine love and pity. Then the spirit of judges, and Satan entered into him you kuow, leads the boot that would barter'tbe souls of meu for money Wbat are our women doing? Wbat can they do you ask? aud bat care they for anything with in a thousand miles of politics, and since this is a question of na tional and state reveuue it is in politics. Well, we are glad that some are awake to tbe fact, that though classed with convicts, lun atics and --iufante they cau do much. Who rules tbe homes with such absolute tyranuy as ~tbe baby? However much we may shrink from “our peers,” tbe luna tic aud convict, give uc^lie baby. With bim iu our arms let us storm the citadel of men's hearts 'till they protect us aud our youug as they do tbe birds and fishes. Let ne study politics as to all ques tions that pertains to tbe welfare of humanity at borne and abroad and influence father, husband* brother and friend -to vote for God and home and every land.

B, Tbomasville Should Act. .. “'Americas, Ga., April 29—A committee of minister^, appointed by the Macon Presbytery, visited Americus ibis morning for tbe purpose of inspecting grounds offered that body for tbe proposed Presbyterian College to be located at some point in Southwestern Georgia. Tbe committee was favorably impressed with the beautiful^ groQuds offered free, and wbicb, with Urge cash sub scription pledged, causes Ameri cas people to feel confident re garding tbe location of tbe col lego " v We have, heretofore, called at tention to the importance of Tbomasville taking some concerted actiou in this matter, and again renew tbe suggestion. We ought to be able to offers* tn&uy advant ages as any place in the bounds of tbe proposed institution. The Town’s Opportunity. A friend wbo has taken, aad still takes a deep interest In tbe beautifying and improvements of Tbomasville, furnishes us with a leaflet issued by “Home aud Flowers, a publication which is devoted to the work of beautify- inge towns, and from which we take extracts wbicb should awake additional interest in making our town more attractive every year. Tbe writer, Charles Mulford Rob inson, says: “It is the town's turn. Tbe great waves of emigration are not guided by chance, nor ie tbe flux aud rtfltix of population influenc ed by a sense of justice. To say, tbeu, that it is tbe town's turn is uot to Bay, however true, that be cause, in tbe past, country and city have been tbe attractive mag nets of population, tbe town should uo* be tbe magnet. The asser tion is based on no such poetic justice, but recognizes in many occurrences tbe sign posts of a new way, of a highway that leads out of tbe city into tbe town, and sees sure indications that tbe people are turning back, are look ing wistfully along this way to learn wbat tbe town can offer. Are the streets in tbe town, they ask, bordered with lawns flower strewn ? Are there trees and singing birds ? Is the com inanity in touch with tbe world ? Cau it offer intellectual stimulus and esthetic enjoyment as well as grateful repose ? Have tbe cbil dreu good schools to supplement ample playgrounds? Are there tbe conveniences that city life bas transferred from tbe list of bu manity's luxuries to that of its ne cesaities ? Tbe town, to profit by te opportunity, must be not only good as tbe city, but 9 a little better. It must have tbe city's most esssutial attractions, and must add to these someting of its own. Youth, Age, Poverty and Pros perity etaud ou a hilltop, hesitat ing. Below them on one side gleam tbe myriad lights of tbe city. The broad, paved way that leads to it is choked with trafiio Upon it are tbe riches of tbe earth; borne on its tide are tbe tears of the world, tbe laughter of the world, great sins and great vir tues.

Atlanta, April 28.—Tbe peach crop, eays State Kutomoligist W. M.

The weather of the week was favorable to farm work, bat detri mental, owing to lack of moisture, to germination and growth of crops, other than wheat, oate, rye and corn. Tbe temperature reg istered above normal in all sec tions, following a period of cool, unseasonable weather. Tbe rain fall was greatly deficient, no rain occurring in many conntiea, and only light showers in others. Re ports indicate that with bnt few exceptions cotton planting ie prac tically completed in tbe southern sections, and is nearing completion in tbe middle counties. Planting progressed rapidly in tbe northern district under the favorable weath er conditions. Tbe plants are coming up to generally good stands in tbe soathern and middle portsone of tbe state, and chopping bas began in a few forward fields in the extreme south. Fears are entertained that late plantings will not come up well unless the situation ie relieved by showers. Wheat, oata and corn are making good growth, as a rule, and culti vation of corn is in progress in many sections. Tbe outlook for the fruit crop continues excellent, except that pears are blighted.” Thomas: No rain during tbe week; corn about replanted; long cotton nearly ready to be chopped; minor crops doing well. “I wonder if he knows my sis ter bas money.” “Has be proposed?” “He has.” “He does.”—New York Herald.
