This story, like many others given
by the TImes-Recorder, Is directing at

Atlanta, Ga., January 13.—Although
compulsory education had a checkered
career among the lawmakers of Geor
gia at their last session, friends of the
measure are hopeful still. The fight
will go on at the next session of the
legislature in June.
Governor-elect Hoke Smith, who Is
probably one of the strongest friends
of education In Georgia, will doubt
less have something to say in the near
future on the subject of compulsory
education. Mr. Smith has been mak
lug a close study of a number of Im
portant state issues and between now
and the time the legislature meets will
probably make knowrn his views.

and hay, other feedstuffs and

to middle and far western states.
‘There is no reason why they
should. For Georgia cannot only pro
duce all of the corn and feedstuff
It consumes upon Its own acres, It can
as well raise all the wheat and the
pork and the beef, with eventually a
healthy surplus left for the export
trade.

“The activity of Sumter coutny in
this respect has value from a unique
direction In that Sumter Is thus anti
cipating the inevitable descent of the
boll weevil and by gradually turning
to crops other than cotton, prepar
ing to minimize the blackmail levied
by the greedy little Mexican bug.
“What <Sumter has done and is doing
can be duplicated by any-other county
in the state, for hay and corn can
be produced practically in every por
tion of Georgia.
“It is impossible to estimate

WOMAN IS JAILED
AS RESULT OF KILLING
New Turn Is Taken In Abbeville’s Re-
rent Tragedy.
lAbbevllle, Ga., January 13.—Mrs.
White, wife of Noah White, who was
killed in a dispute here a day or two
ago, and which also resulted in the
death of Matt Wilson and James Mixon
and the cutting of X. P. Wilson, has
beeu arrested on a warrant sworn out
by the sheriff and placed In the cus
tody of that officer. It Is alleged that
James Mixon declared In his dying
statement that Mrs White killed him.
This Is conflremed by the statement
of X. P. Wilson, who was seriously
cut.
Wood’s Seeds
On November 26, 1910, the Death
Angel bore away the spirit of Mr.
JameB J. Dupree to a brighter and
better home. Mr. Dupree was about
years old, and had spent most of
bis life in Sumter county, Georgia.
The last few years were spent at his
home In Americus.
Tis a great loss to his church, his
community and his family, for a
ter man than he cannot be found.
Just a true, earnest, honest, mod
est Christian gentleman, a kind ana
devoted husband and father, gone to
his reward.
He Joined the M. E. church In boy
hood and was ever a faithful and con
sistent member for many years serv
ing bis church as steward, trustee
and Sunday school superintendent,
this service ending only when the
Father’s voice said: “Come up higher;
well done, thou good aud faithful
servant."
He was always ready to do God's
will and God's service In all places
and under all circumstances. Sup
porting his church In all ways possi
ble, ministering to those in distress
and helping the poor and needy, at all
times doing his best.
His home life was Ideal. That of
an Ideal Christian. No 011c coulc
visit his home and hear him read and
pray around the family altar with
out seeing the light clearer and feel
ing nearer to God.
He was a grand, noble character, to
whom life was real and earnest, who
accepted the plain duties and respon
sibilities of life, shirking none of Its
trials.
It Is hard for loved one3 to give
him up and say, ‘ Thy will be done.”
They '•an scarcely see why such a
good and useful man should be cut
off before living his three score and
ten years, but they can surely look
through the clouds and si
Father’s meaning, for he measures the
length of a life by Us good deeds
and finished work, and not by tho
lapse of tlftie.
Then, too, he is not dead! Just call
ed away for a little while to enjoy
the rewrard of his faithfulness in the
presence of God, and In the society
or the saints. This is not death but
triumph over the grave, for a life
like his can never die. His Christ
ian influence will bo felt for all eter
nity.
