THE SINGING AT
RED BLUFF CHURCH.
The all-day singing at Red
Bluff church last Sunday was
largely attended. It was about
11 o’clock before the congrega
tion gathered, and Prof. Spivey
took the lead and singing began.
After he retired from the floor,
the other directors followed one
after another, and the singing
was extremely fine and inspiring.
Dinner followed one hour later,
and was such as to fully main
tain the reputation of old Red
Bluff for excellent spreads. Mr.
Wiley Davis was on hand with
his coffee pot, and was quite an
acquisition. Professor Spivey
expressed delight at being again
with the good people of Red
Bluff, and spoke of their great
appreciation of good singing.
The next meeting of the South
East Georgia Singing convention
will be held with Union church,
half mile from Minter, Ga., on
Dec. 31st. The M. D. &S. and
the Ga. & Fla. roads will sell
tickets on 30th and 31st Dec. at
reduced rates, and we expect a
crowd of 5,000 people. Come.
APPORTIONMENT OF THE
STATE SCHOOL FUND.
Apportionment of next year’s
school fund has been made by
Hon. M. L. Brittain, state super
intendent of schools, and was
made upon a basis of $3.43 per
capita of school age. This per
capita will not apply unless the
contingent appropriation of SSO
- made by the last legislature
finds enough funds in the treas
ury to make it available. With
out this appropriation the per
capita will be five cents less, or
$3.38.
Under this apportionment
Montgomery county will get the
sum of $19,876.09. Many towns
and cities in the state have their
separate school systems, and
their shares are given, but none
of Montgomery county towns
maintain such systems, and the
above amount is for the whole
county.
LAND DIVIDED-WORLD UNITED.
An article in Home and Farm,
taken from an English journal,
gives some interesting facts
about the great Panama Canal,
and concludes thus:
The passage through the canal,
moreover, will be an experience
to be enjoyed. The great engi
neering wonder of the world is
cut through a land where civili
zation has not yet made its way.
Indians as uncivilized as they
were hundreds of years ago live
near its banks. The jaguar
roams the jungle, the boa con
strictor lurks about the streams
and woods, and the crocodile and
alligator lie in wait for man in
the swamps. Brilliant orchids
and other wonderful plants be
deck the forests; and birds as
gorgeous as a painter’s dream
gladden the traveler’s eye.
All around is evidence to re
mind us that this huge wonder
of civilization is carved through
the heart of things which belong
to the primitive past. Yet now,
on the actual banks of the canal,
towns and schools, and institu
tions of all sorts, are springing
up, where 43,000 workers, with
their wives and children, live.
Thanks to the absence of drink,
crime is almost unknown, and
where pestilence raged not long
ago there lives today one of the
healthiest, happiest, hardest
working communities of
anywhere to be found.
Every worker in the canal is
given a medal, with this happy
inscription on the face of it: “The
land divided, the world united.”
He should be proud of it, for it
means that he has helped in one
of the mightiest pieces of work
ever done in this world.

FINE GRANGES GROWN
IN THOMASVILLE.
I Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 14.
3 Some unusually fine home grown
t oranges are being brought into
- Thomasville this season, and the
j people, especially in the country,
. seem to have gone into the culti
, vation of this frut more than for
; a long time. Mr. A. J. Dickey,
' living just over the line in Grady
county, brought in a few days
ago 2,000 beautiful ones that
■ were grown on one tree, and
l that not a large one. Mr. Dickey
, has 6,000 or 8,000 from his trees
i this year and expects a much
i larger yield next year when the
r trees are older. He had) no
i trouble in disposing of them here
l at good market prices.
t Very fine oranges were grown
in Thomas county some years
i ago, but the white fly pest in
i jured the trees very badly, de
, stroying their vitality and mak
i ing them susceptible to the cold,
} so that many of them died. The
1 fly has not been so bad of late,
t however, and it does not seem to
i trouble the trees much in the
country districts, preferring the
towns where it is thickly settled,
with the result that many trees
, and shrubs which are injured by
them in the towns are not at all
’ hurt in the country.
; WHAT ADVERTISING DID
FOR ENTERPRISING CITY,
What advertising did for Mem
! phis is described by John Duffy
■ in a recent issue of Lesslie’s
! Weekly, which has been publish
• ing a series of articles on the
■ best way to boost a city, Mr.
Duffy’s being the second.
Memphis some time ago appro
priated $20,000 for publicity.
■ Probably no similar amount spent
■ on municipal advertising has ev
-1 brought such excellent results.
1 The advertisements, which were
written with a view of present
! ing in brief space the advantages
i of Memphis for business and as
: a place of residence, appeared in
i monthlies and weeklies of nation
al circulation.
The results were unusual. No
less than sixty-five manufactur
ing concerns have moved to the
city of Memphis. These plants
, employ 5,200 persons, the most
of whom came to the city with
the concerns that located there.
As each person thus employed
represents at least one dependent
on him or her for support, this
would mean a total of 10,400 peo
ple. Gaining 10,000 new citizens
at a cost of $20,000 is getting
them at $2 a head, certainly mon
ey well spent. At least seventy
five new jobbing houses and be
tween 300 and 400 new firms
have been attracted to the city.
SHALL COURT OF APPEALS STAND?
With Judge Dick Russell and
Judge Arthur Powell simultane
ously considering resigning from
the court of appeals to resume
private life and the practice of
law, it rather looks as though the
court itself were going to be rav
eled out. John C. Hart of Union
Point is spoken of as a successor
to Judge Russell. Mr. Hart is an
able and upright lawyer in whose
hands the dignity of the office
might well be entrusted. But the
question naturally arises whether
these resignations may not afford
a timely occasion for the dissolu-i
tion of the court itself. It is a j
question whether the court of ap- :
peals has made good, and wheth
er its continuance is really worth
I while. It was instituted a few
| years ago, chiefly to relieve the 1
! pressure of business upon the
j supreme court, but it seems to be
i regarded almost as a fifth wheel
!in the legal machinery of the
state. In the opinion of many of
the lawyers it is a real disap
pointment. From various causes,
the court of appeals appears to
| have lacked the usefulness and
prestige that should rightfully
belong to it, and the sentiment
that it would be wise to dissolve
it and enlarge, if need be, the
equipment of the supreme court,
, appears to be growing. —Savan
