THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
R
The Atlanta Constitution seems to
agree with The News that a session of
the legislature every two years would
be sufficient for all purposes. While
this is true, it is no argument why the
legislature should adjourn this sum
m:ar before it disposes of the many im
portant measures that had to go over
last winter because they were digplac
ed by the tax and appropriations bills,
which consumed practically all of the
session. The legislature should ad
journ as soon as it can finish the
business before it, whether it be
ten days or tifty days. The con
viet lease bill, the uniformity text
book bill, the chiid labor bill, the
Australian ballot bill, the bill to do
mesticate foreign corporations op
erating railroads in thie state, the
bill to extend the powers of the rail
road commission, the bill to teach ag
riculture in the public schools, the tax
commission biil to equalize taxes, the
bill to separate the agricultural school
from the State University and a num
ber of other important measures are
pending, and the people expect the
legislature to take some action upon
them at the approaching session.
AN IMPORTANT EVENT,
The most important and significant
event of the new century is the decree
of the Czar of Russia, recently issued,
by which entire freedom of religion, as
well as broad concession of local self
government, is guaranteed the people
of that vast empire. This is in accord
ance with the trend of human destiny.
Only a few years ago Japan and China
and the Hermit Kingdom of Korea
were opened to christianity. While
Russia has been professedly a christian
country. the bigotry and intolerance
of the Greek church, the state relig
ion, has amounted to clerical tyranny.
But now all churches and denom
inations, including the cruelly per
secuted Jews, are given the same,
countenance gnd protection of the poy
ernment, This {8 the most important
act-of the Russian government since
the emancipation of the serfs.
: ONSEAUGHT ON THE FORESTS.
Some idea of the immense drain oo ‘
the Maine forests can be had from the
statement that returns from the vari
ous logging sections of the state show
that the cut of the season now draw
ing to a close will be approximateiy
800,000,000 feet, over half of which ir
spruce, says the Savannah Morning
News. Three-fourths of the spruc
will go to to the pulp mills to be mad |
into paper, the rest being used for
lumber. Sixteen thousand men have
been employed in the logging opera
tioms all winter. Not even the greal
forests of Maine can long withstand
such onslaughts of the timber cutters,
yetin Maine, as in Georgia, no effect
ive steps are being taken for forest
_preservation or renewal,
l WALL street banking these days in
,volies the use of some very large
checks. Single ivems of #3,000,000 or
$10,000,000 are frequently seen, and
mueh greater amounts are sometimes
.gr,ansferred through the interchange
ol a narrow slip of papet.
CHARLES GUNTZ is a Fairfield, Ohio,
dwarf 38 years old, 18 inches bigh, and
weighs 30 pounds. He has just bought
a farm, and after securing a partoer
intends running it. No doubt his gob
blers will be disposed to test the miag
et’s authority.
THE report that Mr. Bryan is seek
ing the national chairmanship of the
democratic party will not be taken se
riously by intelligent and thinking
people. The papers have a habit of
printing lots of canards about the Ne
braska statesman.
SENATOR STONE says ‘‘the talk ofl
reorganizing the democratic party is
peurile and sillv.” As the senator
saye, some men need reorganizing,
but the party does pot. There must
be disorganization before there can be
reorganization.
A STATEMENT from Baltimore is to
the effect that of the cotton now mov
ing about 5,250,000 bales have gone
_abroad, while American mille have
taken 3,000,000. Southern milis have
tsken 43 per ceat of the 3,000,000
bales.
AN .Alabama man plaoted afteeo
acres in cotton and two acres in toma
toes. His cotton paid him 838 and his
tomatoes sioo. We merely mention
this fact for the information of any
backward farmer who wants "to ketch
up.
THE ecivil service commission has
been examining snake charmers to se-
Ject one for the national museum. The
successful applicant is Scabod Crandall
of the Delaware valley. He will first go
to the Philippines to catch specimens.
THE Missouri legislature has made
chicken stealing a felony. The colored
brother is no doubt resting easy, how
ever, in the hope that Brer Roosevelt
will declare the law in conflict with
the fourteenth amendment.
THE Savannah Press says ‘‘the At
lanta Constitution seems to be still in
fayor of re-enacting the old convict
lease and adjourning the legislature.
The legilature might meet only once
in five years.”
ACCORDING to the report of Hon. .
Clay Evaos there is now living only
one surviving soldier of the war of
1812. This is Hiram Cronk, aged 103,
of Dunbrook, N. Y.
ANOTHER embezzlement is reported
from the board of public works in
Hawaii. The Hawaiians are learning, ‘
says Editor Forrester of the Stewart
Countian.
A ciTiZzEN of Houston, Tex., has
named his hunting dog Russell Sage,
because he will eat anything, will
sleep anywhere, and neyer loses a
‘scent.
THE Savannah Press thinks Ben
Tillman a brave man to go out in
Michigan and lecture on Sherman’s
bummers. Ben has showed his spunk
before.
DAWSON must secure the Farmers’
Institute to be conducted for the Elev

bring many representative farmers
here.
A BosTON girl has made a quilt out

THE oldest inhabitant in the world,

exalted position secure.

ABOUT THE NEWS.
From the Campbell News,
The Dawson News has found it nec
essary to double its size in order to ac
commedate it patronage. Editor Rain
ey is a fine pewspaper man,
From the Ft. Gaines Sentinel.
Ithe Dawson News has recently had
1o tack on four extra pages to accom
modate the demand for advertising
space. T'he merchaots of Dawson are

Trom the LaGrange Graphé.
Last week it fell to our lot to renew
our insurance upon the Graphic office.
A few years ago we paid $l6 per 31000
insurance. Last year the rate went
up to $l9 per %1000 of insurance, and
pow we are taxed $23.50 per %1000 of
insurance, When we stop to usk the
reusoh of thig we tind that there is no
reason save that the Southeastern
}'l‘uritf Association, which conirols all
lOf the insurances companies, has
reasoned it out that the pedple are
making too much money and that they
simply decided to puttheirhatds down
deeper into the pockets of vhe people
and relieve them ¢f most of it That
is the whole thing in a nutshell. They
have got the power, and they are us
ing it. We prate and theorize about
trusts in the abstracy, and right here
in Georgia this association fixes every
| rate charged, and fixes it so high as to
I make tire insurance almost prohibitive.
The Scene Shifts.
From the Albany Herald,
The scenes are shifting in South
Carolina. Charleston is going te give
a vanquet to Senator Ben Tillman.
Once upon a time, it will be remember
ed—and it has not been a greatwhile
Charleston wined and dined and cheer
ed President Rooseveit, and Senator
Tillman was not there, for the very
good reason that he was neither want
ed nor himself wanted to be there. !
L Now Tillman will be banqueted by the
Charlestonians, and Roosevelt will not
be there, nor will he be wanted.
Up Against the Real Thing.
From the Dalton Citizen.
I 1f you want to feel like yon wanted
every man you met to kick you about
four blocks endorse a note or two for
a friend (?) (misuse of a word) and then
have it to pay. Our eyes begin to fill,
and we cannot write more. Heaven
help us! We are honest in our prayers.

LITTLE ETHEL HILLER.
Loving Tribute to the Memory
of a Sweet Child.
On March 1, 1903, God in his infinite
wisdom saw prover to take from our
midst Little Ethel May, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hiller.
She was just entering the prime of
her childbood days—only six years
and five months old. She had a se
vere attack of measles and pneumonia
and suffered agony, and then menin
gitis deyeloped and caused her death
instantly.
‘T'ke funeral services occurred the
next day at St. Mark’s Lutheran
church, Sumter couaty, conducted by
the pastor, Rev. J. W. Nease, who
made an impressive talk from II
King, 4-26, *‘ls it well with the child?
and she answered, ‘[t is well.””’
And truly 1t is well with dear little
Ethel, for all her sorrow and pain is
turned into eternal joy and .pleasure.
What a joy to the fond parents to
koow this. We in midst of earthly
sorrow praise our kind Saviour for
.having made such a sweet little girl
‘and for taking her when she was sO
young.
Ethel was a sweet child, a favorite
with both her parents, playmates and
teacher.
KEthel's school days were few. She
was an obedient chila, and will be
greatly missed by all
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast:
There by His love o'er shadowed
Sweetly her soul shall rest.
Her teacher. LiLLY RAUCH.

AMERICANS IN CANADA.
Sixty Thousand of Them Have Gone There
in Two Years.
During the two vears eonding June
thirtieth last more than sixty thous
and persons from North and South
Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Montana and Utah took farms in the
Canadian west, bringing with them
property and stock conservatively esti
mated as being worth thirty million
dollars. In the three years preceeding
av least thirty thousand other settlers
had crossed over from the United
States, and since 1890 it is estimated
that there has grown up in western
Canada a community of one hundred
and thirty-five thousand American
farmers, growers of wheat, corn and
flax—settlers imbued with not only the
American spirit of enterprise, but with
American ideas of government and
American aspirations for the future of
the country wkich they have made
their home.—From *‘T'he Amerieaniza
