The Survival of the Fittest
WAYNESBORO, GA.. FEBRUARY 22. 1902.
Mr. Guerry is up to Atlauia beard
ing the lion at home.
“The Islanders” was taken too
seriously at home and the John
Butlians bavn’t gotten over their
state of mind yet
Thera is a wide chasm between
Taft and taffy on the question of
popular appreciation. Mist of peo
ple had rather have taffy.
The railroad magnates are put
ting ifs and ands in the way of Can

Good sakes!
Jeffries the champion sluggers
o.‘ the world and Fitzsimmons the
c-x-champion are going to slug again
for glory—and scads—in which
scads will play the principle part.
Prince Heury is coming and Jim
Jeffries has the grip, thinning Tow
er Bob Evans will not be able to
puil off a prize fight, nor any other
kind of a sham fight for the roya;
visitor.
The weather this week has given
us a variety exhibition. Snow, sleet,
rain wind, sunshine, springtime, ail
played a part. At oue time tiu
world was etiolated with the hair
pallid sleet, encasing the trees as a
general make up in the ice roie.
SenatorPialt’s son, of Connecticut,
gets of Roosevelt a U. S. judgeship
It is proper to say the senator from
Connecticut did not go up and whis
per in the president’s ear. In fact,
by way of abundant caution the.
senator would not recommend bis
own son.
Hurrah! for the Atianta Journal
which on February 18th last euter
ed on its XX year. It is a great pa
per and is an honor to Atianta, to
Georgia and to the South. May it
grow ou and up and out until no
pent up continent shall contract its
powers.
The Augusta Chronicle published
a beautiful tribute to oid Mammy
’L za Eiiiott who died there last
Tuesday. Who can take the place

the last of the old South.
Some of our exchanges say that
Col. Joe Terrell knows a live wire
when he sees it, meaning to give
that as a reason why he does not
want a joint debate wiih Guerry
We don’t see much margin for de

log tun of your red mule. Go in
and debate the mule.
The Oleomargerir.e factories are
still not at ail downcast. Hanna
is in the senate and the “Butter
bill” that passed the House will not
squeeze through that august body.11
the Oleomargerine stock (tha>

august body there might be some
chance of suppressing the Oloomar
gerine creameries. We guo.-s it i.«
not.
The Crumpacker design to he
crease representation in certain
Southern states that have aisfran
chised the ignorant vote, principal
iy negroes, failed most signally in a
late Republican caucus. It will end
perhaps in a committee invesliga
tion. Mr. Crumpacker isyoungyei
and will hnd that interference wit
the South’s political conditions is
two edged sword. His hackneyed
scheme may erect a buncombe fac
tory but hardly on a paying ba-is.
“The News is in receipt of a com
munication taking The True Citi
zen to task for a recent criticism ot
a lyceum attraction. The editor ol
this paper did not see performance
in question and as the editor of our
contemporary across the way is
good judge of such matters and a
careful w riter the authornf the com
munication will have to excuse u
from publishing it.”
We acknowledge the compliment
paid us acd recognize fuily the jour
nalistic courte u y extended and say
to our brother of tie News it is just
the way we should have treated
him.
THE CRITIC’S DUTY,
The work of those who offer to en
tertain others by mu.-ie, lectures, re
citals, reading or otherwise, charg
ing money as a compensation due
them for it, are subjects of legiti
mate criticism. It is the duty of :i
journal to protect the public, espe
cially its o®n community, if it can,
fr''tn impositions, and on ihe oilier
hand to give to the deserving
due praise and credit for deserving
and creditable work. We are very
likely in our criticism to differ with
gome and so far as we are concern
ed It shall be an honest difference
always. Any such difference prop
erly expresse * we wfll bn glad to
publish in older to let the other side
be heard, our object being alway-
to get at the truth. An intelligent
audience, such as our city can give,
deserves projection and all know if
Is the duty of its journals to afford
It to the extent of their ability
though not always a pleasant task
HOW IT STANDS.
fr is rather amusing to see the
manner in which Germany has laid
hare fhe attitudes it arid Great
Britain held towards the United
States in the Spanish war. Wheth
er either was our friend iu the
clai'h wrh Spain, it seems from re
cent developments that the English
war minister virtually admits what
Germany charges, and explains that
the ads of Pauaceforte were unor-
thurizsd. This is severe on the am
bassador, yet a scape-goat is neces
sary. But it eeems that, the thing
is not to stop at that, for now Spain
bristles up over the incident and j
w <nts to know w ho was playing fa-t :
and loose with her. It is a diplo
ma'ic mess that may have a serious
side, but at the same time no less
an amusing one.
“THE LITTLE DUTCHMAN.”
There is vast satisfaction in know
ing ill j re are some few Americans,
real democratic Americans, in tlu-
Uniied Srates_remainirg and one of
these is Representative Wheeler of
Kentucky. Since lie made his
speech in which he so terrifically
arraigned England and Germany
and our own flmkeyism '.here
seem 0 to be more than a few’ real
Americans left. He called the
prince from Germany who is on the
pve of arriving in this country on a
visit—having first invited himself
and then gracecusiy accepted the
invitation—he called him the Little
Dutchman.This name will go down
to posterity no doubt with him, and
'bos - curious folks who are paying
court to him as a part of European
royalty, wiii be bowing to (hat sou
briquet as well as prince while do
ing 'heir genuflexions It causes
the judicious to grieve out at the
same time there Is some satisfac
tion in believing enough Wheelers
remain to keep the republic in line
until he goes back and some satis
faction also in knowing our flunkien
will have their un-American reflec
tions to bother them—if they have
a’«y reflections.
No democratic Americau cares
what prince or king comes over here,
out let him leave his royalty be
hind packed away in camphor. I'
will keep until he returns and ihen
he can enjoy hi mself like one of our
80.000,000 sovereigns, the only true,
unfettered kings of ear'll.

Mis. Charles Leon Harris enter
tained her music class very pleas
antly at a Progressive Musical on
Valentine’s night at the home of Dr
and Mrs. C. V. deLoache. The in-
yitatious on dainiy lyre shaped
cards were the first intimation one
had of this charming entertain
ment, and the musical scheme was
sustained throughout the entire ev
ening. There were four tables for
the contestants, each decorated
with a centerpiece of intricale nee
dlework and a bowl of pahnettoes
whose delicate fragrance filled Ihe
room. The questions of a musical
romance supplied the 1st table and
were written on minature violins of
white card board decorated with
bows of baby ribbon. On the se
cond fable were pictures of ihe most
noted composers, trie names to Lre
written opposite the numbers At
the third table on four sheets of card
board were pictorialiy illustrated
he titles of well known pieces of
music. The 4th table was supplied
with the nam°s of wei! known com
posers with the letters jumbled on
miniature pianos AH seemed to
enter into ihe spirit of the contest
! and the questions were answered
• vvi'h rernuikab e accuracy. There
wai a lie among four of the contes
j taofs who answered correctly all
: but two questions. Prof, Harris in
; a few well chosen words delivered
j me prize which was a lovely guitar

her recent spell of illness at Monroe
college, but will iearn with pleasure
that she is rapidly improving, and
that no operation for appendicitis
was necessary as was at first feared.
Mr. R. N Berrien, Sr. of Atianta,
is with us this week He is a de
servedly popular gentleman and is
always gladly welcomed in our
town.
The death angel which has been
hovering for several weeks patt ov
er our little town remored from our
midst on Sunday afternoon Mrs.
Hayward Lester. Mrs. Lester has
been quite feeble for some time past
and her friends knew it was only a
matter of time until she was called
to that better world “whose dust is
gold and pavement stars.” Mr. and
Mrs. Lester have been residents of
Millen since the town was in its in
fancy and were active members in
the M. E Church here until failing
health and old age pi evented their
regular attendance and their man
tle fell upon younger shoulders. Mr.
Lester has the sympathy of the en
tire town in this great sorrow of his
old age. He has the consolation
however of knowing that only a
few more s'eps in the march of Time
will bring him too to the* gate Ajar ”
Mrs. Lester had all her children a»
her bedside except Dr. Lester, of
Texas, and they were untiring in
their devotion and tender care.

hope to see her out soon.

’ Tis with much regret aud relue-
tauce that I (eel that I am called
upon to answer the card of Dr, Her
rington of last week. Had it no!
been so misleading would have giv
en it no attention But being the
only physician of the city that saw
the child excepting Dr. and Dr.
Ford. I ieel that it is somewhat re
flecting on me and an answer is de
manded from me. I wili not take
the case up as fully as I am ac
quafnted with it; will only state the
symptoms given me and seeing the
desquamation on the fingers as well
being told by one that is almost as
near as the mother to the child that
if had a case of Scarlatina; upon
that I based my diagnosis I saw
the child in its four h week; Dr.
Ford in its sixth,! saw desquamation
(peeling around its fioger nails)
while in another week, before the
city physician was called had plenty
of time to have completed and dis
appeared. Why was Dr. Ford -not
reported correctly ? He did not say
the child never hed scarlet fever,
but if it had ail symptoms had dis
appeared. I say which is oft°n thr
case.
The misleading Doctor who has
been guilty of things of this kind in
the past could not refrain from it
now’. Where do we see him mis
leading: First trying to mislead
■ me of the most reputable physicians
Ruike county ever had in
trying to get him to pass an insur
ance risk where he was interested.
Wnere next do we hear of the mis
leading M D ? Making the State of
Georgia believe she had a worthy
son and an ex Confederate seventy
years old, decrepid, etc , worthy of a
state pension. Where next do we
hear of the misleading M. D ? With
the same subject the lollowing year
so highly recommended by the
same M. D. An insurance company
granted a policy. He then was a
first-class risk and very much
younger.
J w ill only go one more step in
his misleading and let him rest.
Why did he not ssy the srquela of
-evere scarlet fever was traceable
-ome times for months; yes, years,
and again ! u some severe cases we
had no sequelae. Also in some mlhl
cases In a few weeks all traces
would disappear.
Our text books teach us the tim°
of quarantine should be k°pt up
from four to seven we. ks. Why do
they take such a range? Simply
because some cases have no sequelae
and are entirely well in three or four
weeks; while others take longer to
get through the desquamation stage.
Had the doctor not gone through
such a tryirg epidemic a few years
ago no mention of the following
would have been made, but it does
seem to the writer that his own ex
pprience with this severe epidemic
would have taught him that the
same disease in different patients
often had different sequelae.
Should this have benn a “simple
case of Rubella” we are also taught
that its a contsgeous eruptive fever,
prevails independently of measles
<>r scarlet fever. If is ushered in dif
(erently. Its desquamation is differ

is 1 know not and I am not trying
to defend them for I think nothing
is worse than slander, and regret

sary, 1 remain,

an era of selfishness in llie world’s history.
Following the example of a tyrant, his
adherents in the Isle of Sicily vied In oblit
erating from the tablets of their men ory
every vestigi of that noblest principle of
manhood which recognizes man’s fealty to
his fellow. Damon, a senator at Syracuse,
by his opposition to Dionysius in his at
tempted usurpation of power, was placed
under sentence of immediate d.atb.
Pythias, Die time-tried friend of Damon, be
sought the tyrant to grant him ar. spi'e that j
he might bid a !ast farewell to those he j
loved. The dential of this request was fal
lowed by the most striking exemplification
of pure friendship that has ever illumined
the pages of history. Pythias offered bim-
self as a hostage for Damon while he should
visit his wife and child once more before the
execution. The chains were taken from the
limbs of Damon and placed upon those of
Pythias. Damon was soon at his home; he
bade his weeping wife and little one a tender
and affectionate farewell, and called for his
horse in order to return in time to redeem
his pledge to Pythias He fin„s that his
horse had been killed by his servant in
order to prevent his return, but he secures
another and flies to Syracuse.
in the meantime Pythias had been tempted
to escape the doom which seems to threaten
him; but. no, he insists upon the terms of
the hostage beiDg carried out to the letter
He exclaims—“It is sweet to die for those we
love!” The time is so fast passing, and still
Damon does not appear. The block is
erected, the crowds are gathered iu the
square, the funeral procession is formed, and
Pythias is led fortli to seal ids friendship
with his blood, With soldiery courage and
iron nerve he bravely wends his way to die
for his friend In that a*ful moment tire
clatter of horse’s hoofs is heard in the dis
tance, and soon Damon falls exhausted at
the feet of his friend. This display of man
hood and true courage led captive the
tyrant’s heart, who, remitting the death
sentence of Damon, sought admission to
their friendship.
This bright spot on the pages of the 1 ast
was the corner stone upon which the founder
“builded wiser than he knew.” The society-
first took shape on the evening of February
19, 1SG4, when its founder, Justus H. Rath-
bone, gathered about him iu the city of
Washington. D. C., a number of gentlemen
and explained to them the foundation
principles of the prosDOsed Order or Knights
of Pythias, the objects of which were stated
to be Friendship, Charity and Benevolence.
The proposal meeting, with the unanimous
approval of those present, they subscribed to
the obligation of secrecy, and proceeded to
name the society, elect officers, and adopt a
ritual. For a time tIre society h-.-d only a
limited memebership, no special effort hav
ing been made to ex’end its influence; but
the beloved founder, Bro. llatlibone, lived to
see enrolled under Us banner almost three
hundred thousand members. He died iu
December. 1889, leaving behind a monument
that will never perish. Of him one has truly
said: “ He founded an Order whose principles
are as old as humanity,as sweet as loye, and
as lasting as the ages ”
The Supreme Lodge of the Order has

Pytbian Knighthood had its conception in
Die exemplification of the life test ot true
friendship existing between Damon and
Pythias.
Friendship, or mutual confidence, being
tiie strongest, bond of union between man
and man, and only existing where honor has
an abiding place, is adopted as a foundation
principle
As the ideal Knight of olden times was the
personification of all the higher and nobler
attributes of man’s nature, the candidate for
Knighthood had to prove himself worthy of
acceptance by those who valued friendship,
bravery, lion r, justice aud loyalty.
TlieOrderof Knglitsof Pythias—bounded
iu Friendship, Charity aud Benevolence,
which it proclaims as its cardinal principles,
strives to gather into one mighty fraternity
worthy men who appreciate the true mean
ing of friendship; who are cautious in word
and act; who love truth, who are brave
defending the right; whose honor is un
tarnished; whose sense of justice wi'l pre
vent, to the best of tlieir ability a personal
act 6r word injurious to the worthy; whose
loyalty to principle, to family, to lriends, to
he country, aud to the constituted author
ity under which they enjoy citizenship, is
undoubted; and who, at all times, are pre
pared to do unto others as they would that
others should do unto them.
Hunks.
The secret work ronsists of three divisions,
called ranks, which are symbolical of the
three principles of the Order, namely.
Friendship, Charity and Benevolence
The three ranks-Page, Esquireand Knight
are separate,but it is necessary to be initiated
into ail to come to a just appreciation of Die
extent and scope of w hat this society com
prehends and teaches. Tiie intention ol this
body is to disseminate and teacli to ait man
kind, who are worthy and will listen, tiie
doctrines and precepts that by to doing give
to those principles their true meaning and
widest application. The instructions given
in Die several ranks are a part of the essential
eleine nts that go to make up a sicret society
and they are conferred upon all who become
members, that they may come to a correct
understanding ol the basis upon which the
Order was Guilt. Friendship Is ihe mystic
tie that brings and binds our members to
gether, “A friend loveth at ail times, and a
brother is born for adversity.” A true
Knit lit is a friend of his brother Knight, and
will aid him in all worthy efforts, but will
not uphold him in the violation of law or
disregard of the rules that good society pre
scribes.
Charity is the perfection of fiiendship. It
is that part of the better man that enables
him to always construe the words and
actions ot others in-heir least unfavorable
iiglit; without it friendship is of little worth
Deal not harshly wjth the errors aud mis
takes of those about you, for our deficiencies
but prove tiie weakness of ah humanity.
