Almost Joint Debits.
Savannah. Ga., March 31st.-—The
First Congressional district will on
Monday have the nearest thing to a
joint debate between the two of the
candidates for Governor that Georgia
has seen since the Columbus meeting
of Hon. Hoke Smith and Hon. Clark
Howell. The candidates won't meet
this time but they will be pretty close
together. They will both be In Le*t-
^r's Congressional District. Mr. How-
^ell is to speak in Reldsville, Tattnall
county, and Mr. Smith in Waynesboro.
Burke county. The two candidates
will probably seek to meet at some
convenient point on Saturday night
to catch the Central Railway train to
Atlanta and they will probably roll
into Atlanta together Sunday morning
on the Central.
Never was there more blat
ant. violent demagogy . In a
a campaign in Georgia before. The
people can be fooled for a while, but
not always. There are yet several
months before the state primary, and
many eyes will have been opened to
the truth by that time.—Madison

No envy seems to have been nourished
against him In his lifetime. General
regret was shown at his death. Ia
Chicago he was the first as well as the
richest citizen. The red mouthed yap
ping at the rich spared him. He waa
known to have acquired his wealth
honestly. Ho used It modestly and
worthily. On a much larger scale he
waa a "merchant prince” of the old
school, a school not extinct. Hts busi
ness methods wero atralghljforward
and honorable. He did not bilk o prey
upon the public. So, continues the
New York sun, he had what ostenta
tious subscriptions and staring phil
anthropies cannot gain for some other
men, unforced public respect. He did
not hare to seek It noisily. He did
not hare to try to cover up doubtful
transactions with a halo or to bribe
hia way Into "society” or heaven with
benefactions In the nature of repen
tance. A perfectly simple and old
fashioned career. And It shows that
In spite of all the wild demagogic
yawn against the rich there Is no pre
judice against honorable wealth with
no stain upon Its title and aa shirking
of Its retponalbUltlan.

scarcely any, and so we had recourse

of the charity workers of the city.
Dr. H. 8. Oppenhelmer. chairman of
the Gra mercy DUtrict Committee of
the Charity Organization, tells one of
a family which applied for relief in
his district. It was an Armenian
family, with a father 6*) years old,
broken In health unable to tlud work,
or to do much if he got It. The mother
was also incapable of earning much
Two boys under working age had been
practically supporting the family, but
the truant officer had sent them back
to school. An Armenian boarder was
giving up his entire wages to keep the
applied for relief.
But In Its Investigation the com
mittee unexpectedly came across an
older son. a good, steady boy. earn
ing $10 a week. His wages, with ttye
boarder's, would have supported the
family, but he had a fixed passion to
become a musician, and was board
ing with another family because they
had a piano and would let him
practice on It. He was perfectly tract
able on all other points, but give up
his music he would hot. What! resign
bis ambition and ruin bis life- No.
The Committee cast about and secur
ed from an Interested person the use
of a piano. The boy was told that he
could have this in his home free of
charge, provided he would turn his
wages into the family exoheqtter. He
consented.
"And now," says Dr. Oppenhelmer.
"there is nothing the matter wtth the
family except that they don't get
enough sleep, as the boy practices at
the most unseemly hours."—New

If you cannot on the ocean
8ell among the swiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest billows.
Laughing at the storms you meet.
You can stand among the sailors
Anchored yet within the bay.
You can lend a hand to help them
As they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to Journey
Up the mountains steep and high.
You can stand within the valley
While the multitude go by;
You can chant a happy measure
As they slowly pass along,
Though they may forget the singer.
They may not forgot the song.
If you cannot in tho conflict
Prove youacif a soldier true,
If where smoke and fire are thickest
There’s no work for you to do;
When the battlefield la silent,
Yo^ can go with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover np the dead.
Do not, then stand Idly waiting
For tome greater work to do;
Fortupne is a fickle goddess,
She will never come to you. •
Go and toll In any vineyard.
Do not fear to do-and dare,
If you want a field of labor,
You can find It anywhere.
