A few weeks ago while the National Editorial association was at the Tam pa Bay Hotel, the following toast was offered amt heartily drank by the newspaper men present: • The Plant System—May its rails never grow rus ty ; mty the barnacles never cling to its ships; may the sweet song of its W reun over be hoard from terminus to terminus and may Henry B. Planted forever in our memories, since he Hathaway of winning hearts.’’ In Atlanta and one or two other places in Georgia for some weeks ne gro preachers have been telling their flocks that on March fi the believers would be taken up in a cloud and car ried to Heaven.

The Chicago Record, with marvel lous enterprise, offered $30,000 in prizes to the authors of the world for the best “stories of mystery.” The con test was advertise 1 in the newspapers of every English-speaking country on on the globe, and 810 manuscripts were submitted from all parts of Eng land, as well as from every nook and corner of the United States.

At the Appling superior court last week all three candidates were present and a vote was taken by the grand jury which resulted in a tie between Mabry and Bennett, each receiving 8 votes while Toomer re ceived only 5, It is said that Mabry will probably get the endorsement of the Clinch court which convenes this week, lie or Bennett will surely get the support from Glynn, and these are some of the forts which Toomer thought he had well garrisoned. From the evidences before us there is strong reason to believe that Coffee, another county claimed by Toomer in the beginning of (he race, will en dorse Benutt, and there is no tell ing what change will take place in Ware if Bennett and Mabry push their claims before the grand jury there. However, there are some rea sons to believe that War? will give Toomer its endorsement. Mabry will make Bennett a stronger race than was first anticipated frmn his candidacy. Ten Men Shot.

He cer tainly is a man of strict business prin ciple without auy deviation, and. yet, unlike many others of this char acter who are hash in its enforcement he is gentle and courteous withal. Pearson people regret to lose him and his family but they all rejoice in his promotion.
