A discussion lias been ststted in the South Georgia newspapers as to whrtb or oPnot there are too many secret or ders in thb town* of this section. The Albany Herald says that there irerand the An ericas Times Recorder thinks to ■' Most people, especially those who. be tong to the order* will be inclined to disagree with these 6ro estimable new* papers. A multiplicity of secret orders is as hatnral as a multiplicity of denom illations in the Protestant church- All do good, but each appeals to a different set of men or to different characteristics In tile same man. Fewer lodges would mean fewer nights oat for the married man. We ore not married, but we have heard our friends who have had the degree of m trimony’conferred upon them, talk, and in their eyes an occasional vocation is an inestimable boon. Think what it means to a man who has been ordered about tlw store or office all day by an Irritable boss, to put on stld crown an^ a purple mother liobbard. and be hailed aa Unique Panjandrum of the Universe,” In the awe stricken accents of the better brethren. - Think what it means to be able to wear steen varieties of brasa badge* on your manly bosom, and to give the grip to every sooond man you meet. Contemplate the joy of helping out distressed brethren who ttmch yon for your last half dollar., Perish tl.e thought that any of these privileges should lie curtailed. Bat in all seriousness. every secret order we ever heard of was .based on good principles. Their secrets out! flum meries may be foolish, but they are cer tainly not harmful If they give pleas ure to the member* let them inornate and multiply. Secret ordersjjpreveut selfishness, widen one's cirole of friends, and teach great lesoou*. The more’ of them the better. Mo two orders have exactly the same characteristic. Masonry teaches its truths, and morals, Odd Fellowship is noted for it* active oliarlty, the Elks scatter sunshine ns they go, and every other has some distinguishing good point. It-would be a good thing for every mao, and his family If lie belonged to a neoret order.. It will not hurt to belong to half a down. A good many people are questioning the wisdom of the proposed constitution nt amendment to limit the state tax rain to live mills. The benefit received from taxation are so maob ■ part and parcel of oar everyday life that we sometimes toll to realise them. Consequently we growrwhen compelled to part with the *00000! levy, and hail any decrease with whole-tooled joy. Bat there are our. tain conditions which might arise that would make a higher rate than S JmiHs bath necessary and desirable.JTo be unable to levy this rate would bo the touroe of muohem^umssment. It would probably be better to exercise care ih the ouome of public official* and leave It to their wisdqm to levy tnoh a rate avis needful. Hou. S. G.

Naturally we ore of an opti mistic temperament, and when wo think over the progress and prosperity of this town and oounty daring the last few yen re, onr pencil cuts a caper and we write a metaphorical whoop of jov. Of conrso cotton is not the only money crop in this section. There are mi iocs aud trait, corn andcane, theothclfunne Ailing crops that tho wise farmer mare kets. Bat cottou is the main depend ence of this ogrioultarat section. As tong as it bovors around ten cents the farmer has eve-y reason to 'smile, and be happy. ■, The whole south partakes of this prosperity in greater or less de gree. Even at this date, money is pouring in to tlie south at the rate of half* million per day to move tho crop, much of it comlug from Europe. Last year that country scut throe hundred and seven ty-million dollars here for raw cottcn alnuo, iu addition to the immense {sums whioli came over for tlie'mannfaetured product. About SO percent of tlie crop is absorbed by tho mills of this country. Another cheering feature of the outlcok is that our fanners have mad ) immense PROPORTIONATE SIN. One : of the most amusing things we have seen lately is the following from the Cordele , , j— TTrrl , 1 "A gentleman who has traveled all over tlie state, says/ that Cordele comes nearer enforcing the prohibition law than any Town of its size that he knows of. He is a careful calculator anil eays that he is satisfied that Cordele hasn't over a dozen blind tlgefoj and tliat none the other-prohibition towns in the itess large os Cordele has less than twenty. Be assures ns that Tbojnas- ville lias thirty-nine, and is an average prohibiilou city. He says that prohibi tion prohibits in- uordeie to a large extent. Tlie gentleman grew very eu tlmsiastio in praise of snch strong pro inbltion sentiments as be sees fixed in our city.” The Pharisee, who has been con- demned for ages adopted an “I holier than thou” attitude. The News goes the Pharisee one better and says “I am not a* bad as -my neighbor.’' If wickedness ‘.is. to *be measured by numbers, the.Bible stand ard* of absolute morality are all wrong, and good people must make a radical revision of their ideas. Bat then Die Bible says ‘‘Let him Who is without sm east the first stone.” JHere is Cordele with an even dozen of Sin spots volley ing at Thomasville withjthirty-nine Then it would be interesting to .know just how Cordele’* informant took the blind-tiger census,“He mast be an in teresting man, and he is wasting his talents informing the newspaper*. He ought to write a book entitled “Blind Tigers I Hare Met.” We ato creditably informed that Larifor goes about like a raging lion seeking whom he may devour.

Here in this cave the word of tbe Lord came to bim an at other times (xvU, 2, 8; xvlii, 1). In Ezck. I, 3. It is writ ten that tbe word of tbe Lord came ex pressly to Ezekiel tbe priest and un less we receive the messages from the book as coming expressly to us indi vidually there Is no benefit, yet there are many who pro^sa to believe, tbe Bible who look with surprise upon those who say “<|Od has spoken to me l< Die jvord.” Unless the word of God speaks directly to our hearts we bare not yet learned to know Him very well. As plainly, as *y « voice from heaven bas Ho said to my soul aa I have read His book—John i, 12; lit, 16; v, 24; x, 27-20; xlv, 1.27; I John 11,12; UL 1, 2. 8; Ifia. ’xli, 10.13; xllil, 25; Gen. xxvili, 15. and many, many more messages which are engraveii on- my heart and for which 1 do bea/tlly, praise Him. “What doest tlWiu here.

H, of onr lesson would almost, if hot wholly, indicate that, he being the only true servant of Jehovah left, it would be a poor day tor the laird’s cause If anything should happen to bim. “And tbey seek my life to, take It away.” What then would become of ^ the laird s cause? When we allow ourselves to he thus deluded by him who would. If he could, dethrone God himself, it Is a poor day for us, for It Indicates that tbe Lord uiay not be able-to use as maob .longer, as we shall see In this lesson. “Go forth and stand upon the mount before tho Lord” (verse 11) is tbe I ami’s message to Elijah, and he conld hardly fail to recall that on this very mount Gpd bad said to Israel and to Moses. "1 am, the Lord tby God which brought thee- ont of tbe land of, Egypt, out. of the bouse of bondage” 1 (Ex. xx, 2; xxlv, 12). and as be thuugbt of It a sense of bla own nothingness and God’s mightiness muy bavo-eome over Urn. Then came the mlgbty wind, the earthquake and tke Are, but tbe Lord dld/hot re veal Himself hi either of these; then the still smalt voice In which the Lord spoke to His senrnnt, and one heeds to be very still to bear a still small voice. Goil lisa many ways of dealing with people, and different way* at different times <& dejiUng with the same person. He lind spoken to Israel from this very mount In lire anil earthquake; He had Just recently spoken to the people through Elijah by fire on Carmel, bat now- It Is by tbe Still small voice. Some one may be looking for-a ftre or curthqnuke experience because some one else baa had it or because they themselves have had it in former times, but now God Is speaking In a still small voice and they do not bear be cause they want tbe former experi ence. Let us bow bead and heart and say, “Speak, laird, as it pleaseth Thee, for Tby Bcrvant henretb." Not methods her experiences, but Himself alone, can satisfy tbe heart. And the Lord Bald unto him. Go, re turn and anoint a king over Syria, a king over Israel, and Elisha to be prophet. In thy room (verses 15. Id). This Is what we said a'little before, that when a man thinks that the work cannot get along without him it is time to appoint his successor. No one •Is essential to God or to His work,, but He is graciously pleased to use such as are willing to continue little In their own sight and let God be glorified In them. We must learn to magnify the Lord Jesus as He magnified the Fa ther. "Yet have I left me seven thou sand In Israel which have not bowed unto Baal” (verse 18). How utterly foolish to think that we are the only ones who know the Lord, or are really Interested In HU cause.' He alwnyj baa His own, known well to Him If not to others, and we mast not jndge lest we misjudge. Judge nothing be fore the time. Tbe Lord knotreth them that are His. of tobacco-ip this country.
