PROMINENT GEORGIAN DIES
Hon. W. A. Hemphill, the well
known citizen of Atlanta, died
suddenly Sunday last at his home
on Peachtree street in Atlanta.
He was about his usual business
Saturday and his death was a
great surprise to his family and
friends.
Col. Hemphill was the founder
of the Atlanta Constitution and
to him was largely due the success
of the paper. He was a brave
confederate soldier and a promi
nent and useful Atlantan and
Georgian, and was honon and
throughout the state and country.
He was actively identified with
the work o f the Met ho -
diet church in Georgia and was
very influential in the councils
of his church.
REGULATE VICE WITH LICENSE
The world is coming to geo that
there are usually two sides to
questions. Extremists sav, >f
course, that there is only one way
to gee and do anything and that
auyvjjevv contrary to the one they
hold is erroneous. They are never
willing to grant to others what
they take for themselves, the right
to exercise their own opinion and
to act in accordance therewith.
While it is necessary that we
should have convictions and
stand by them, we have no right
to condemn everybody else who
does not agree with us. Tolerance
is a virtue.
Dr. K. 11. Andrews, chancellor
of the University of Nebraska, has
just expressed some views which
will not be endorsed by a great
many, but they are entitled to
proper consideration. In his lec
ture a few days ago, he said he
believed that the city governments
should regulate the social vice.
He told the students that Purls
had a system of regulation which
had proved beneficial, and that
this might be tried to advantage
iu some of the large cities of the
United States.
He assertrd that the evil was
one which probably never would
.lie entirely stamped out, and
therefore means more effect
ive 'ihan those now employed in
this country should be found
whereby less , harm would come
to those who would not keep pure
and innocent.
“The State,” declared Chancel
lor Andrews, “is under obligation
to take measures to protect inno
cent women and children and
future generations. I demur from
the common opinion that in grant
ing a license to a person engaged
in a business or practice which is
looked down upon or scorned by
people generally the authorities
are entering into collusion with
the persons licensed. There are
many times when a license is the
best and most effective method
of suppressing or regulating vice."
Cnrlojut Tenni'KMV
Mr. Robert Mitchell Ims just
received a carload of the Ten
neessee wagons, which he wants to
sell at once. He promises to
satisfy every body as to prices.
Call to see him about anew
wagon while he has them. He
also sells buggies, surreys, harness,
mules, horses and is always ready
for a trade. See his advertisement
in this issue.
Dr. Andrews On Marriage.
Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, who
delivered, several able and
interesting sermons and lec
tures at the recent session of the
Barnesville Chautauqua, has been
lecturing in Chicago, on the
subject of marrying, and no doubt
what he had to say was highly
entertain jug. He at least selected
a suitable place in which to deliver
himself on the subject. The follw
ing is a quotation his from address,
with editorial comments on it
from the Macon Telegraph:
“Providence intended that men
and women should marry. The
world was made for the family
and not for the individual. The
unmarried individual of marriage
able age has no place in society
nor in the scheme of the universe.
Individuals who do not form legal
ties with the opposite sex will form
illegal ones. The world does not
want this kind of ties.’’
What is “intended” in general
jcannot always come to pass in
particular. Every egg was intended
jto become a bird, hut there are
| intermediate mishaps which de
mand consideration. It is the
j common perception of all men
that a love-marriage is the ideal,
but no man in his senses should
deliberately advise entering into
a loveless marriage. Human beings
are something more than cattle.
Dr. Andrews seems to be of another
opinion, and would condemn all
unmarried men and unmarried wo
men us legitimate objects of sus
picion merely because they have
not married, allowing for no possi
ble obstacles honestly regarded as
insurmountable.
There are both men and women
who do not marry for purely selfish
and inexcusable reasons, but they
are probably in the minoity. 1 hero
are men who do not marry because
of a disappointment and failure
to form another strong attachment
honesty shrinking from a union
of the purely machine made pat
tern. There are poor proud souls
who do not marry because they
have not made a financial success
and cannot give the girls of their
own class all they believe she
should possess. There are women
who Mo not marry because the
men who have sought them are so
manifestly their inferiors that
oven a fairly contented married
life is seen to bo impossible. And
there are perhaps some women —
we should not venture to say there
are more than a very, very few —
who cannot marry because they
have never been asked.
The motives of the majority of
the single would perhaps be found
higher and purer than the motives
of largo numbers of the married,
lfow many marry solely for money
or for other purely external
reasons, without a spark of beau
tiful affection which lifts the
human union above the plane of
the animal. As general statements
some of those made by Dr.
Andrews will stand, but a very
large allowance must be made for
the exceptions.

death for Mrs. LouisCragg, of Dorches

A DAY AT THE SPRINGS.
A Party of Young People From Here
Visit Pike's Favorite ltesort.
Bright and early last Friday
morning, a crowd of young peoplo
from Barnesville went over to
Pine Mountain Springs and en
joyed themselves picnicking.
It was an ideal day for such
enjoyment, and all who went
seemed to be the embodiment of
contentment. Especially fine was
the elegant dinner, so gracefully
served by the ladies in charge,
that each one present apparently
seemed to have a ravishing appe
tite.
The refreshing baths were freely
indulged in, and none the less
enjoyed.
At a late hour, the party re
turned to the city, each one loud
in their praise for the chaperones,
iu having afforded them so much
enjoyment.
Those who went were: Misses
Kittie Gordy, Minnie Lee Bowers,
Fatie Elliott and Velma Mills.
Messrs. P. L. Gordy, C. E. Stocks
and Tarver Woodall; chaparones,
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ellington.
