TWO DISTINGUISHED SONS.
The sudden death of Senator
Pettus, of Alabama, on last Satur
day takes away another distin
guished and able son of oor sister
state. Only a few weeks ago Sen
ator Morgan passed peacefully to
the great Beyond. In the death of
these two men Alabama and the
South, yes, and the country at
large loses two of the cleanest and
most honorable men who have
ever served in the senate of the
United States.
Theirs have been lives worth the
living. They have given their
time and services, unselfishly,
forcefully and courageously for j
things that would inure to the j
betterment of their state and the.
South, regardless of political or
other preferment that would have
given them an opportunity many!
times for a personal gratification ;
of ambitious nature less rngid and
"and sincere than tlioirs.
Senators Morgan and Pettus,
. both from the same town, Selma,
lived long and evenlful lives, ana
now both of them at rest in the
same city. Its with sincere regret
that their state and the South
gives up the services of these two [
men, whose distinguished careers'
will long be pointed to as models
of sound and able statesmanship.
Peace to their ashes.
In another column of The Week
ly will be found an article embody
ing in it a resolution passed by
the Farmer's Union at its recent
meeting in Atlanta in regard to
the schools of the state that is
both timely and encouraging. The
farmers are taking an entirely dif
ferent interest in every phase of
life now than in the past, and they
are now laying the foundation for
a citizenship in the rural districts
that will he one of the proudest and
grandest that has ever graced any
country. The South lms once be
fore had one o* these rare and ex
alted rural citizenships, but war’s
fell hand swept all these things
t
away. The conditions are nowdif- 1
feront and when the boys and girls
of the country are placed where
they will have ample educational
advantages, the south will advance
and grow as never no section or
country ever did in all the past.
The Farmer's Union is fast bring
ing this thing about by tlieir co
operation and educative lines of en
deavor.
GEORGIA'S ONLY GREAT GOV
ERNOR,
We are pleased to note the fine
enthusiasm manifested by the
Brunswick News in the following
a pprecia ti ve pa ragra ph.
The news expects from Governor
Smith that ohafaeter of adminis
tration bound to come with a big,
broadminded man. and if we are
not badly in error he will prove to
he the only real genuine governor
that Georgia has had in many
years.- It is a deplorable fact that
the peanut politician and the small
calibered ward healer has been
roosting in Georgia's gubernatorial
mansion for many years, and we
welc >me the change a ; another ir-*
dication of the fact that the people,
the common people, the masses, are
beginning to think for themselves
and vote accordingly.
Happy, indeed, are we, who have
lived through these long humiliat
ing years of Georgia's dark dis
grace to see the glorious effulgent
§on of righteousness one ■ mo e
shining in the high places and
spreading the beams of the halo
till they reflect crystal light from
the waves that roll beyond far
away Brunswick —Griffin News. 1

REAGAN FOR SUPREME COURT.
A rumor has been going the
rounds that Judge Reagan will re
ceive the appointment from Gov.
Smith to the supreme court to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the re
signation of Justice Cobb. Judge
Reagan stands absolutely at the top
superior court judges of the state.
He is a lawyer of great erudition
and a man of noble and true ehar
a der. Ilis promotion would be a
worthy tribute to the best of men.
The Flint circuit loves Judge Rea
gan and would hate to part with
him. —Mutate Georgia Farmer.

NOT SO VERY SWEET.
Some one who would destroy all
that is sweet in the world if lie
could, hands out the following :
“Young man, that beautiful girl
whom you worship as a pillar of
unadulterated sweetness does not
contain even three ounces of su
gar. It has been shown by analy
sis that a young person weighing
150 pounds is composed of 96 pounds
of water, J pounds of the white of
eggs, a little less than 2 pounds of
glnp. pounds of fat, 8% pounds
of phosphate of lime, 3 ounces of
sugar and starch, 7 ounces of chlo
ride of calcium, 6 ounces of phos
phate of magnesia and a little or
dinary table salt."

REAL JOY.
I love to think of boyhood days, when I
arose at four,
And fetched the water from the well, a
thousand pails or more,
And then I'd wake the harrow up, and j
pacify the plow;
I love to lie in bed and think I needn’t do
it now.. j
I love to think of boyhood days, when I
the porkers fed,
I used to fix their breakfast-food ere yet
the sky was red.
I used to dry-shampoo the horse and man
icure the cow—
I love to lie abed and think I needn’t do
it now.
THE SUMMER GIRL.
The summer girl is here at last
We gladly sing her praise
And trust that she may reign a queen
For many, many days.
Her smile illumines all the world,
Her laugh is sweet to hear,
And there’s commotion in the ranks
Of suitors far and near.
’Tis true, she breaks a lot of hearts,
'Tis true she’s quite a flirt,
Hut all the damage that she does
Is not enough to hurt.
Little Johnnie, having in his possession
a couple of bantam hens, which laid very
small eggs, suddenly hit on a plan. Go
ing the next morning to the fowl-run,
Johnnie’s father was surprised to find an
ostrich egg tied to one of the beams, and
above it a card with the words: “Keep
your eye on this and do your best.”—Tit-
Hits.
“They have the cotton in the South and
! the all-the-year water-courses turn the
j ttie wheels of the cotton mills —raw mate
| rial and raw power ready at hand for in-
I stant use —but they lack the deft fingers
jof white labor to put the finishing touch
j upon natural advantage,” says the Phila
! delphia Record, and very pointedly adds:
! “Thee is manifestly impolicy in any
hampering Federal legislat ion that would
interfere wit h the effort of Southern man
ufacturers to produce frem any quarter
the labor supply that they need.” The
Macon Telegraph thinks the trouble is
that those whose votes enact Federal
legislation fear that Southern negroes
j may be driven North in too great num
bers by the competition of white immi
grants brought into the South.
