Tribute To
James E. Tayl or
By His Friend Dr. T. D. Walker
Another one of the immortal
heroes of the sixties lias fallen on
sleep —the summons came to cur
esteemed and beloved fellow citizen,
Mr. James E. Taylor, who died af
ter a short illness, on June 23rd,
and was buried in the Walker fami
ly cemetery on Longstreet by the
side of his wife, who was the daugh
ter of the late Judge G. X. Jordan,
of Hawkinsville.
Mr. Taylor, or "Squire” as we
'loved so much to calj him, was
tmm on April —, 1837 on Long
| street, where he lias ever resided
land it can be truly said that no
! suspicion of scandal has ever at
tached to his name. Impulsive,
frank, honest, sincere and a gene
rosity dbat knew no bounds, he
was a great favorite and model citi
zen .
When the war developed in 1801,
lie with his friend and chum, Char
lei Walker, hastened to Macon in
April to join the Macon Guards,
whose captain wt» the late Col. Lu
cius M. Lunar. The company ren
dezvoused at Savannah, where they
went into the organization of the
famous Eighth Ga. Reg., command
by the gallant and immortal Fnm
rcis Bartow. The regiment was im
mediately ordered to Virginia and
they reached there in time to take
part in the tlrst battle of Manassas,
whio.i was fought on July 21, Mil,
The regiment was cut to pieces, los
ing the Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel
and many thousand of the men
killed and wounded. It was dur
ing this battle and the bravery of
the men that gave to Jackson the
immortal name of "Stonewall”.
Dear Old Sq .ire was there a d
acquitted him-elf, a man, a soldier
and a patriot This was his first
baptism of fire and lie followed the
fortune of the immortal Stars and
Bars throughout all the yicissitu les
of war until at last they were furled
by Gen. Johnson at Sauls.-ury, N-
C. in April—, 1865. The war over
lie returned to his native home to
take up the plow share which he had
lain down for the sword. He was
an exceedingly modest, gentle unas
suming niiin, and a faithful gener
ous fr -uid and upright citizen.
No one observing this meek inod
’est man could imagine the veritable
lion when facing a foe in defense of
his country. This thought furnish
es the pathos that surrounds the
memory of these old soldiers.
What influence was it that blended
the spirit of the lamb, and lion in
our southern soldiery? Was it a
lofty sentiment that abhored low
materialkm and gave birth to ar.
immortal idealism of right and
wrong, purity, sincerity, devotion
to home and country, and last
but not least a fear of God.
Mr. Taylor leaves two sisters and
five brothers and many relatives,
who are the typical representatives of
the grand old South.

THE COCHRA* JOvAftAL, COCHRAN, GEORGE
Liberally Dosed For
Bite of Rattlesnake
Moultrie, June 54th. —Riverside
a manufacturing suburb of Moultrie
was thrown into excitement yester
day afternoon, when a white man
by the name of Dutton came run
ning from a nearby blackberry
patch yelling at the top of his voice
that he had been bitten by a rattle
snake.
Dutton was put to bed at once
and the old inhabitants of the place
administered whiskey with a liberal
hand and insisted that the patient
chew and swallow a plug of tobacco
so that his system could ' emit the
deadly poison.
A plow line was found and tlte
man's leg was corded as tight as
was possible on both sides of the
wound to shut off the circulation,
Several other home remedies were
tried, but it was out of the question
to get it off of Dutton’s mind that
death wasn’t approaching swift and
inevitable and he heroically chewed
the tohgeco and waitpd tire coming
of Dr. Daniel, of Moultrie, who had
beet) summoned.
After reaching there the physici
an discovered that the man hadn’t
been bitten by a rattlesnake but
bad been stung by a hornet, He
forthwith ordered the rope to be
cut and treated the man for tin
overdose of whisky and tobacco.

The Immigrant Home of Galves
ton Tex., last year cared for 2,763
immigrants as they entered port
and for 334 who were retruning to
their native lands. Nine hundred
and forty-nine sailors were given
lodging at the home while 6,940
found rest and recreation under the
clean, w hulesome influence of the
home. Eighty gospel services were
held at the immigrant home during
the war.
The total cost of maintaining the
Galveston Immigrants, home to the
church was $4,155,92. The board
of the immigrant as he was passing
into our ports or of the undesirables
who were hoarded by the govern
ment at our institution while await
ing a court hearing amounted to
$7,686,10 and the lookers tvhiali
the sailors rented for given periods
came to $l4O,
The government has provided
quarters for immigrants so we no
longer need to carry on the Immi
grant Home. Rev. J. S. Reifsneid
has been letained as port missionary
A home lias been secured which en
ables him to carry on services in
German for the small congregation
which used to meet at the Immig
rant Home. This will enable him
to have an office in the city a. 1 a
desk at the port of entry. The
work of this department in the fut
ure will he maintained by the wom
ans missionary council alone.
“ Pray'ye therefore t lie Lord of
the harvest that he will send -forth
laborers into his harvest." Surely
this must he the prayer of the worn
en of methodism tills year when
they recall that more than thirty
cities and mill communities were
denied deaconesses and city missi
onaries at the recent session of lie
Council because there were not en
ough to go around. If eveiy call for
deaconesses made in 1912 had been
granted and the work normally de
veloped we might have located 175
more than were available. Wo ap
pointed 112 trained women for the
work in the homeland. How does
that stand by the larger demand?
Ten years ago we appointed six dea
conesses when the first class was set
apart for the work and office of dea
coness in the church. Whose fault
is it that there are not enough now
to en? . the open doois? We sure
ly have failed to pray the Lord of
the harvest to send forth laborers,
or some of us are not heeding his
call.
