Beautiful Tribute to One Who Could Turn the Other Cheek “Forgiving all Mankind-Loving all Mankind, He Died as He Lived. I Would Help Build a Monument to His Memory.” by w. f. smith. We can not realize how much Ave love our friends until we loose them. When the young men dashed up to my home last Friday morn ing, pursuing some men they thought might be responsible for the absence of J. R. Carmichael, I waCs horrified at the news they brought me. Then when I heard he had been found in McCord’s millpond, it all opened up to my mind. I could see the heroic struggle of the young man, in building up the Carmichaei buggy business; the untiring mental and physical' struggle in building that exten- j sive fertilizer business, and then the banking business. Then came that electric light and water works business—fol lowed by misunderstanding and misrepresentation. This last brought the writer in to closer touch and confidence with him. I had a franchise to light, Jack son, granted when Charlie Beau champ was mayor, and was grad ually working to accomplish the installment. J. R. Carmichael, in his noble, manly way, explain ed to me that the entire popula tion of Jackson should share in the benefits of that franchise. I agreed with him and made no protest. He said, ‘ ‘we will install the plant; you go ahead on the river and when you get power gener ated by water, you can furnish current cheaper than we can make it and we will then take pbwer from you.” That he was working for the best interest of Jackson, there is FANCY DRESS MASQUERADE MONDAY EVENING A SUCCESS The fancy dress masquerade given on Monday evening at the Armory by the young ladies of Jackson, complimentary to the young men, was the most notable social event of the winter. The reception and drill rooms Avere brightly decorated in ac cordance with the spirit of the evening. In the reception room garlands of large red hearts were festooned from the center of the ceiling to the four corners of the room, while smaller hearts and evergreens were used in abun dance draping the windows and pictures. The drill room present ed a very artistic appearance in decorations of palms and ferns. The music for the occasion was rendered by Hanna’s orchestra which added much to the enjoy ment of the evening. The costumes worn were most unique and so complete and original indeed, hardly any one recognized any one else, and each one deserves especial mention. After the grand march the guests unmasked and were served frappe by Misses Elizabeth Sams, Grace Ham, Ruth Willis, Ada Bell JohnSOn and Annie Kate Ham^ At a late hour a salad course was served. in every detail it was a success and the presence of several out of-town guests was a charming feature. not a shadow of doubt, but there was a conflict of interests, a con flict of. opinion, and just at this point is where his Christ-like character was most manifest. J. R. Carmichael was one of the few men who could turn the other cheek when smitten. Too Christlike to blow off in profanity, too Christlike to stain his hand in a fellow’s blood, he brooded over harsh criticism, and his mind weakened under the strain, and there was a giving ! away in the mental equilibrium. . To his more impulsive friends who would say, ‘‘you are a fool or you would fight,” he would re ply, ‘‘no I had rather be dead than to be a murderer. ’ ’ J. R. Carmichael, when tried by every rule of life, was a Chris tian gentleman. If a person is a Christian when his mind is dethroned he is not accountable for his acts after. He did what his mental condition prompted him to believe was his Christian duty. Oh, that awful dreary dismal night! That night he went into the garden of Gethsemane, “Fath er, if possible, let this cup pass, nevertheless thy will be done.” In that long weary dismal walk he bore his cross to calvary. No doubt when he turned his last gaze upon Jackson he felt as i Christ did when he wept over Jeruselem. Forgiving all mankind —loving | all mankind he died as he lived, j I would help build a monurhent ' to his memory. i Flo villa, Ga., Feb. 21, 1908.
