Reduction on •O*tracts by special agreement. McDonough, Ga , Aug. 2, 1907 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 HON. S. C. M’WILLIAMS. In a recent issue of the Atlanta Journal the following article ap peared relative to Henry’s disting uished and popular representative in the lower house : Hon. S.

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.

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."

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.
