AMEBIC US, GA., APRIL. 26, 1901,
IT ISN’T THE THING YOU DO
It isn't the thing you do, dear,
It Is the thing you leave undone.
That gives you a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten :
The letter you did not write,
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts.tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother's way:
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand, deal,
The geutle, winning tone
Which jou had no time or thought for.
With trouble enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angel*
Which we poor mortals ilnd.
It Isn't the thing you do, dear,
It is the thing you leave undone
Which gives you a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.

Arkansas is about to try the plan of

Look out for a cjngested treasury;
THE LEGISLATURE TO BLAME.
CUBANS UNFIT TO GOVERN.
State Treasurer Park, acting on the
advice of liis attorneys, Las refused to
honor drafts on the public property
fund, to meet the pay of the teachers
of the public schools.
The attorney general will now ask
the courts for a mauduuitis to compel
Treasurer Park to honor the drafts
for the pay of teachers from the public
property fund. If the law directs him
to honor the drafts, the treasurer beiug
relieved of all legal responsibility, will
doubtless cheerfully comply with the
order of the court.
The entire situation is an awkward
and uufortunato one, for which the Ge
orgia legislature is held solely respon
sible. The legislature decreed that the
school teachers he paid monthly, with
out providing the means for meeting
the obligations thus incurred. The
lawmakers were familiar with the con
dition of the treasury and knew that
for the first six months of the year,
at least, there would be no money to
pay the teachors, unless the publio
property fund was used The matter
was discussed, but nr action was
taken. The legislature shirked a re
sponsibility, throwing it upon the state,
treasurer, rather than establish the
somewhat dangerous preoedent of
drawing on one fund to meet tho ex
penses of anothor. It is not surprising
that the official should refuse to do a
thing that would be a violation of the
law, after the state legislature had re
fused to do it, when that body could
have accomplished it in a legal way.
If the teachers of Georgia feet that
they must blame some ouo for keeping
back their pay, pending the action of
the courts, let them put tho responsi
bility where it properly belongs—ou
the lawmakers of the state.
APRIL'S COLD WAVE.
Though Kansas claims Fuuston.Ohio
lays claim to being his birth-place. The
public mau who escaped beiug born in
Ohio must feel mighty lono3ome —Ma

The Legislature of Minnesota and
other states aro trying to reform tho
marriage laws. This will he found to
be a much tougher proposition than
assessment and taxation.
Oregon's State Board of Horticulture
is no mere oruamontal appondago. It
has jUBt informed fruit-growers that
unless they keep thotr orchards free
from peBts tho state will do it at thoir
expense.
Aguinaldo aud his millions will bo
bidding each other good-by one of
these days unless ho Bhail curb his ap
petite for d amonds. Aggie is going
the strenuous pace that invariably
comes to grief.
We heard a mau remark a few days
ago that he did not believe in free sil
ver, free country, free votes, free poli
tics, nor anything of that stripe,but all
be wanted was froo whiskey, and he
could do the rest.
This remarkable cold spell of April
weather was produced by a storm
which started recently in tho southwest.
It prevailed over Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana on Wednesday, aud ended
with the cold.wave which reached this
section Friday.
Enow is reported in tho mountainous
sectious of Tennessee, Georgia and
Kentucky. Undoubtedly considerable
damage bas been wrought to early veg
etation and the fruit crop.
In North Georgia too much wind
prevailed to admit of frost although tho
temperaturo was sufficiently low for
Snow and sleet visited the great
apple belt of Arkansas, the mercury
raugiug around the freezing point, and
in somo localities ice was formed. If
the fruit is not destroyed in such sec
tious it had a marvelous oscapo.
It is too early yet to speculate on the
arnouut of damago wrought by this
cold wave so late in tho season,but that
it is rpiito materia'. Is beyond question.
All the cotton that was up is killod
iu this section.
This storm and cold snap will have
the tfleet cl still further decreasing tho
cotton acreage, as tho time lot prepnr
iog i he land and planting grows short
This will he good for its effect ou a
reduced acreage.
But the cold snap is unusual aud ex
traordiuary, and shivering humanity in
the sunny south is wondering at it
There seems to be a practical unan
imity of opinion among tho Republican
aud Democratic members of Congress
who have been to Cuba recently, that
Cabans at the present time are un
tit for self-government. No Democrat
who has been to the island in tho past
few months has expressed at,y different
belief Most of these persons have
talked for publication in ouo shape or
auothor since they have returned, and
their words are iu substantial agree
ment with those of the American offi
cials stationed in the island that the
Cubans could not now conduct a gov
ernment wisely.
This agreement will not surprise any
body who has given intelligent, nn
biased thought to the subject. The
Cubans have bad something over 400
years of history, bat in all those four
centuries they never had a chance to
learn what real freedom was until the
Americans emancipated them in 1898.
They nover had any actual share iu the
management of their own political af
fairs. Spain or its agents governed the
Cabans during all this time, and the
consent of the governed was never ask
ed. The promises of partial self-gov
ernment whioh Spain, in its extremity,
made to the Cubans, were never carri
ed out and no reasonable person ex
pected that they would be.
Persons situated as the Cubans have
been could not reasonably be expected
to bo able to conduct a government
of their own which would respect the
right of its people aud meet , the obli
gations whi«h devolve on all members
of the family of nations. Self-govern
ment does not come by intuition, even
to such peoples os the Anglo-Saxons,
who aro supposed to have a peculiar
talent in the way of managing their
own affairs. The Americans learned
to govern themselves l-y getting a liltlo
self- government, and by then gradu
ally Increasing it. They had a consid
erable measure of solf-government for
over a centnry before they set up in
business for themselvos iu 1770. The
Cubans have had no experience in this
direction. In a political sense they aro
children,and for their own good, ought
to be nuder tho care of a wise aud
strong nation. A steadily-increasing
number of the Cubans want the guard
ianship by the Unitod States to be
made permanent.
A. PURCHASE OF 1 OVER
This morning we announce the greatest sale of Umbrellas ever held by this
store, and, so far as we know, the largest and best offering of new and perfect
goods ever made in Americus.
The taking of such a stupendous quanity made prices on fancy parasols
and fine umbrellas such as have never been heard of before to sell at very
positive reductions.
This is the time of y ar wheu the
country papers start their local uowb

the production of all the wells in Cali

It is a pity Mr. Chamberlain did
not Hve up to his convictions. In 1890
he said: “A war in South Africa would
be one of the most serious wars that
could possibly ho waged. It would bo
in the nature of a civil war; it would
be a long war, a bitter war aud
costly war. It would leave behind it
