The other ten Georgia districts are congratulating themselves that Edwards represents the First. Peek-a boo, Lovely view. So writes a nanghty paragrapher in the Age-Herald. The Chicago millionaire after the pretty Atlanta girl proves to have been a myth. Most Atlanta sensations are of this nature. Congressman Edwards, says the Macon News, is about the cheapest imitation of Tillman or Vardanian that has yet appeared in public. The Macon Telegraph thinks that the country has been shocked so much of late that nothing in the Gould case can stir it to any extent. I he Constitution publishes a map of “what greater Atlanta will look like.’ To tell the honest truth it looks like a man on a fearful jag. If prices of food supplies and other necessaries keep on advanc ing a party organized for lower living expenses might sweep the country. Regulation must be sufficiently strong to check the public demand for national control. This is the view Commissioner Prouty takes of the railroad situation. The Augusta Herald thinks that Roosevelt’s gold pass to all ball games will set all the youth of the land scrambling upward toward the presidency. Editor Pendleton wont let up on Graves. He reiterates that the Atlantan has “an insane craving for sensation and notoriety.” T1 e craving does not seem to get satiated very rapidly. The New York Son, speaking of the negroes in the North says that • ‘from virtually all pursuits iD which brute force is not a prime requisite the negro has been expell ed by white labor.” Speaking of the fearful repetition of railroad accidents Tom Watson says: “The real murderers in the sight of a just God are the owners of the roads who keep watering the stock and letting the roads run , down.” The Wayeross Journal is now urging the establishment of a local fire insurance company there. The leaven is spreading for Americus. Every city of over 5,000 people in Georgia should have a local insur anee company. Congressman John Wesley Gaines has gone back to the old farm for rest. Says be: “Publice life may be interested and serving one’s country a pleasure, but the sight of the trees and blue sky and green fields and running brooks is worth more than all other things put together in this life. I find more real joy out there on the old farm near to nature thany any where else in the world.” “Bryan is speaking and acting,” says the Macon Telegraph, “as if Democracy had conferred on him the rights of a permanent dictator of the party She Richmond|Times Dispatch says: Stick to Bryan, whom nobody ardently desires and whose aspirations therefore would not disturb the stagnant surface by so much as a ripple.” What Democracy really needs is a new candidate on a straight Demo cratic platform. If it goes down to defeat it will rise from that defeat stronger in the esteem of the public. IS IT A FAIR TRIBUNAL? “The railway company should not be deprived ot its property by reduction in its rates until it has been given fair hearing before some disinterested tribunal,” says Inter-state Commerce Commission er Prouty. “Before some disinterested tribunal.” The justice of this is apparent to any one. No individual or corporation should be deprived of his pro per directly or indirectly, by a trib unal that is not disinterested, by a tribunal that has tried his case in advance of the hearing and passed judgment on him, by a tribunal that is prejudiced, antag onistic, swayed by clamor and actuated, in a measure at least, by personal and political selfishness. No one would do other than condemn a tribunal that heard a case against an individual after it had announced its determination of punishing him severely, after it had made the public declaration that it desired the opportunity to deprive him of his property, after it had gone on record as favoring a policy of confiscation. Yet is not this what the rail roads of Georgia are now confront ed with? Are they not goiug to be tried by a Governor whose antagonism to them is pronounced, and by a legislature supposed to be willing to do his bidding? Are they not going to be depriv ed of a large part of their income— deprived of their property—by a tribunal that is biased, that has announced its intentions in advan ce, that is not open to argument or to reason? Is a hearing before a legislature directed by a Governor whose policy is inimical to railroads a hearing before a “disinterested tribunal?” Commissioner Prouty expressed what should be done. But the conditions in Georgia are not the conditions set forth by him. No matter what the railroads may have done—and doubtless they have done a good deal they should not have done—they are entitled to a just hearing and treatment based on a calm,dispassionate con sideration of the facts presented by them. Will they get it? BLACK BROTHER JUMPS CONTRACT And Second Jump Lands Him in the Gang. Bill Pate, alias Bill Mcßae, and evi dently a bad bill generally, was passtd upon the county ehaingang yesterday and will- not pass hence until ten mmths pass away. This double nam ed Willie is a contract jumper from taw, and Judge Crisp accordingly gave him a straight shot of ten months, which cuts out all hope of participa tion in the watermelon festivities or listening to the Christmas carols.

Second Quarter, For May 26, 1907. THg INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ex. ii, 1-15—Mem ory Verses, 9, 10—Golden Text, Acts vii, 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1907, by American Press Association.] The Lord chooses men before they are born to do His will and ofttimes calls them by name long before their birth, as in the case of Josiali and Cy rus, who were named hundreds of years before birth and some of the things they would do specified (I Kings xiii, 2; xxiii, 10; Isa. xliv, 28; xlv, 1). Every simple minded believer rejoices to believe that he was chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Eph. i, 4), but he also believes that he was chosen to be holy and without blame before Him in love. H is a wondrously comforting truth that God has a time for every event, and happy are all who contentedly leave their time In His hands (Acts xvii, 26; Ps. xxxi, 15). In today’s les son we are introduced to Amram and Jochebed of the tribe of Levi, the par ents of Aaron and Miriam and Moses (Ex. vi, 20; Num. xxvi, 59), for the time was drawing near to deliver Israel, ac cording to the Lord’s promise to Abra ham (Gen. xv, 14), and He would have His man ready for the eventful time. Faith is not a feeling or emotion or thought or hope or desire, but a rest ing on the sure word of God; therefore we conclude from Heb. xl, 23, that God had been talking with these parents about this child, for, apart from a communication from God, there is no ground for faith. “Faith eometh by hearing the word of God” (Rom. x, 17). So this child was hidden three months by his mother, In obedience to Him who so carefully hid Elijah that Ahab and all his searchers could not find him. Then at an appointed time for the babe to be adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter the mother is doubtless in structed to prepare the ark of bul rushes and place It In the flags by the river’s brink, not knowing the out come, but having faith In God that He would work out His plan in His own way. A study of the three arks of Scripture, Noah’s, Joehebed’s and Mo ses’, iu connection with the fact that each was prepared to preserve what was put In it and each made by divine direction, Is most helpful. Soon the daughter of Fharaoh and her maidens approach the river to bathe. The little ark is seen, brought to her, opened. The babe weeps; her heart is touched; she is sorry for the beautiful babe and its unknown moth er. Miriam Is at hand. “Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for thee?” “Go.” And the maid went and called the child’s mother (verses T_X2\ Why do we not trust Him fully? Be cause we do not know Him. Perhaps Miriam did not hurry too fast away from the presence of the king’s daugh ter, but a Jittle later—well, did you ever see a young girl run when she had a good reason for running? And what did she find her mother doing? Possibly In prayer to the God of Is rael or possibly expecting and looking for the return of Miriam. The child is out of breath, but can say “Come” as she takes her mother’s hand and hurries her along, telling her what had happened as they hasten to the river. Jochebed is face to face with Phara oh’s daughter, but I think she scarcely has eyes for royalty, only for her babe. But perhaps she fears to show too much Interest just then. But listen: “Take this child away and nurse It for me, and I will give thee thy wages” (verse 9). Now the song wells up in her heart and cannot be long restrain ed, perhaps till she reaches home or is at least far enough away from the king’s daughter and her maids not to be overheard; then it may be that both Miriam and her mother started up, “Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath tri umphed gloriously” (Ex. xv, 21), as Miriam did long years afterward. Did any mother who reads these notes ever hear the Lord say to her these words of rharaoh’s daughter to Jochebed? If not, it may have been because of ears that were not anointed, for If eating and drinking can be done Lfo.the glory of God (I Cor, x, 31), f A HEAVY SHORTAGE IN SHIPMENTS 1 Fertilizer Sales Short, Due to The Railroads. Owing to a lack of shipping facilities, a number of prominent manufacturers | say, the shipment of fertilizers to farmers of Georgia will show a de ss crease of from 15 to 20 per cent for 1906-07 season. While the state department of agri culture declines to giye out shipments for the season which closed May Ist, it is known that shipments this year will amount to between 670,880 and | 712,810 tons. This amount is against 838,599 tons for last year or the season 1905-06. f QThe total tonnage for this season shows a decrease of from 125,790 to 166,880 tons. According to a report issued by the . state department last year ithetonnage for 1905-06 was 839,599. Os this a small portion was cotton seed meal, which was included in the total tonnage, s My Best Triend. ] Alexander Benton, who lives on Ru ' ral Route 1, Fort Edward, N.
