A ‘ man never knows what trouble Is until ho tackles a Job of that sort Tho man who was pursued and caught by a gliost said "You. alnt seen no running yet” The insur ance committee has started to In vestigate the Mutual Reserve and it’ seems that we alnt seen no rotten ness yet. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. A live topic of discussion these da is the location of the new primary! school house. As chronicled In the j columns of this paper several days) ago the board of education has pass- J ed a resolution to have the new build jAttel, M., Ing erected on the present school campus In Flctcherville. Now ev eryone Is glad that the new house is to be built, glad that hte growth of the schools demands It and glad that the finances of the schools permit It. All of the people are not glad, how ever, that the board decided to build where they did. This decision was not a mater of necessity but of choice. Other loca tions were offered. One citizen agrees to donate an excellent site on Jefferson street. There have been offers ofcontributlons to buy the Bar- rate home which was temporarily used as a school two years ago. Many people favor each of these plans. Now without entering into tho ques tion of the merits of the respective sites It seems to us that the people should be allowed to decide this mat ter for themselves and that the will of tho majority should prevail. We are quite sure that the board will be ready to hold Its action In abey ance until the public .shall pass upon tho matter. If their action Is en dorsed well and good. If It is not wo know that they will cheerfully reverse their decision. The Tlmes-Enterprlse believes in popular government and especially does It in this particular 6ase^ It is the people’s children who attend the school. It Is the people’s money that will erec£ the new building. Then let the people say wrehe it shall be built. This expression of opinion can be decided Immediately nt the REGISTERED VOTERS white primary to bo hold on tho 19th o(. this month. The plan Is simple, merely let each ticket to be voted have at thd bottom a line whereon tho voters can express their prefer ence as to the location of the new school building. Let the verdict of the voters be accepted as Instruction by the board and let the board act In conformity to this verdict. There can be no objection to this' plan and we hope to see It carried out. THE ROAD PROBLEM. Much of the time of the county commissioners th^se days is taken np with the consideration of the ah ternatlve road system. The starting of Ihe.now plan will Inevitably bo at tended by a certain amount of confu sion and trouble but lu a short time everything will be running smoothly. It should be the endeavor of all good citlzons to aid the commissioners and tliotr appointees In getting nmt- started. There should be no criticism and complaint until the system Iiob had a fair trial and Is working with the eaBO that exper- fenco alono can give. . The commis sioners should beficommended for the good appointments that they have made. Mr. John Vnughn who has been chosen ns superintendent Is a road maker of long experience and marked ability In tne Bundling of men and machinery. Under bis ad ministration tho people of the county have the satisfaction of knowing that everything will be done as well as honesty, and efficiency can do it. Hts assistants are all men-of good cali ber and dependable citizens. The list of appointees and the other acta of the county commissioners are found In full In another column. Honesty Is the best policy. So different from the life Insurance pol icy. ' . ' ' It will be a long time, before the big city papers get moral enough to refuse liquor ads..

How Christ Works in Our City Mis sions. Several suggestive books and ar ticles have been written on the sur mise of what Christ would do If he should come Into one of our cities or churches. I think he would de very much as he dll when he was In Jeru salem twenty centuries ago. H< would be moved with compassion for those who suffer and sorrow and heal and cheer them. He would love sinners to repentance and would not be asheamed to be seen in company with harlots and drunkards whllk speaking to them the words of life and troth. He would feed both the hungry body and soul. He would give hope'to the despairing and cour age to the tempted and fainthearted. He would blesa little children and teach their Infant lips to praise him. All this I believe he would do with out a complaint, only rejoicing to do his Father’s will. What Christ would do If bodily present,'I believe he is doing by the spirit In the hearts of many men and women who In his name are expend ing life and strength In exactly this kind of work and count-It all joy to be coworkers with Christ. These ‘city missionaries” are faulty human beings and If Christ were here as a missionary some folks would find fault with him as they did in Jeru- sadem for he would be sure to differ with somebody about something; and he would meet now, just as he did before, prlth opposition as well as in difference from those who hold differ ent views. But, like him, these fol lowers of his go right on with their ministry to those who'heed them, and It is bis power that -enables them to do so.—Our Hpmes. Only a. Little Boy.

Somebody Spoke to Him ■ A lady In Wisconsin In the old' days when little blank books were going about collecting nickels for the work, was not able to give much herself, but happened to think of a rich old gentleman near who was not noted for his benevolences. ‘But he has a kind heart,” thought the lady to herself, “and It can’t do any harm to just ask him. ”So she asked him and he gave not a nickel, .but a hundred dollars! But somebody was thoughtful' eno ugh and brave enough to speak to him about It. _An enterprising pastor in the West conceived the great Idea that the cause of God could be furthered bet ter in his town by a deaconness cen ter of work than In any other way. He was poor—could give nothing. But he bethought himself of ar old physician who, though not particu larly Interested In benevolent work, had means, and might perhaps be come interested. So he broached the subject to the doctor—put literature in his way, didn’t allow him to for get It. The result was a gift of more than sixteen thousand dollars. Then other friends worked and gave and the other day .a splendid deaconess hospital, with a property worth morn than _ a hundred thousand dollars, lifted Its beautiful walls In the 1 or a rapidly growing city. But somebody had the work on bis heart. Somebody suggested it to the gentleman who made the first large gift. Somebody was brhve enough and quickwitted enough’ to risk a rebnfl for the blessed cause. Dear friends, Is there a message In this for you? Not many, perhaps, -who read thes words will have much money to give to the deaconess work, but perhays you know some one who has and whom you might Interest. Draw your bow at a ventqre—hut try It anyway, ^peak to the man' or woman yon have In mind. Perhaps they are only waiting for a sugges tion, but perhaps you will have to follow up your first advance by liter ature and repeated reminders! ' It would be a little trouble but It might produce remarkable results. Will you try It?—Exchange. ; y' Mr. Hamilton Frazier returned to Atlanta yesterday morning.
