WIDE WHEEL ROAD WAGONS The Road Commissioners Unanimously Adopt a Resolution Recommend ing Their Usage, COMING INTO GENERAL USE flit re Bfueh Labor In Keeping Itoait* In ’Ouoil Condition—Nearly All Lead ing Mannfcctnrea Ara Now Slaking Them. At tho last meeting of tho road commissioners a resolution was passed recommending tho nduptUm of wide wheel vehicles for gcucr.il use In Ma con and ltabb county. - What Is meant by wide whirl vehi cles is vehicles with wheels tlireo inches wide that are uovv coming into common usage throughout the country nnd arc being made by all loading wagon ronunfactureva. Tbe advantages to bo derived from Uirec-inch wheel vehicle* Are many, so It is claimed, but tho principal ad vantage aud tho ouo under considera tion by the road commissioners when the resolution was adopted. Is Utal the wide tire pack* (lie rojdwny Instead of cutting It up, as is done by the narrow wheels uow In'use. The wide vviroel3, It is claimed, do not tax a liom- any inoro Ilian the narrow whirl atta in sand is much easier to pull. Therefore the advantages of the wide wheel are readily seen^ilSlde from the fact Unit each time they' pass over a roml they luvreaso its hardness. Bibb county's nxtils aro as good as' can bo found anywhere, but In order to kirp them In such excel lout condi tion It la necessary !o work them eon staidly, especially lij the winter sea son. when the rains soften tho earth nnd put it in condition so that It Is easily cu! up by vehicle*. With tho wide wheel vehicle tlio road will bo packed harder with each r.lin und tho whirl will act ns a roller. - Tile action of the road commis sioners In passing the resolution will he generally commended by tlm peoplo when tho advantages of the wide wheel vehicle - are fully known, and while their resolution ia noUilng more than a request to the people to use the wide whirl vehicle, It is believed that It will result In great bruoUt to the coun ty roads.

WUlidrsira!— Did Koi Think lie Wai at Good Itnongh Pie«eliei— Succeiaor Hot Yet Thought UC •Rev. George Braxtdn Taylor, D. D., has resigned the pastorate of the First Baptist church and the resignation has been accepted. This sunmounceraent will came to the public tike x cLup of thunder from a cIc-ut «ky. It was not leu* a surprise to many of the members of Dr. Tay- lorts congregation when <0ie fact was announced In ahurch meeting yester day morning. The action of the pastor could be aoooumuU for by some, who have been for some time aavara of opposition among a certain element of the church, but the majority of the congregation were nut at all prepared for the start ling communication wlhCh was read by Clerk W. B. Daniel at a business session held Immediately after the morning service. 'Mr. B. IM. ZeUtler was called to the 0)1 air sifter tt trail been announced thou matters of importance would come up for their consideration. There were only ulbout one-fourth of the members who knew what itho thing of special moment would be isnittl after the meet ing toad been called to order. Ur. Daniel read a short communication from .Mie pastor, tendering bis uncon ditional resignation. The letter stalteU ln a very few .word, the cause, of the author's action, and .that was that it had come to his latrontton within the last few days that there was opposition to ills pastorate, and that tt not being Ids desire to preside over a charge In whloh 'there nveirevwiy disaffected fol lowers, he wlohdrew in the tnlterest of harmony 'and the welfare and prosper ity of the church. Dr. Taylor expre3see the 'highest feeling of Christ tun love for every member of ithe ohurch. He said thlt the opposition of certain members dfd mot change his feeling toward them If ithey were not saitisfled with him as pastor, It was thelra to say so. 'A motion was made to accept tihe resignation, but It gat no «eond. Then followed considerable discussion among tho opposing elements, though the meeting and everything said was en tirely harmonious, not the least 111- feellng being exhibited oh the part of anybody. Among those Who spoke were Dr. K. P. Moore, E. Y. Mallory and Osgood Wlltlngham against ac cepting the resignation, and W. B. Chapman and Morrell Callaway for laceoptlng. The latter two led the op position to-the pastor, arid the other ■gentlemen were among hie most ac tive supporters. The conclusion Anally -arrived at by Dr. Taylor's fi-leml* was. knowing his mind to be fully .Axed on insisting upon the reslgnaltlon. that tt would toe sub serving Ihls interests to vote for Its acceptance, which, after the previous motion had been recalled, was done by both his friends and opponents. The basis of the opposition' Which, when it flrrt retched hi* ears, dt'ter- -nlined'Mr. Taylor to resign, seems la Brave been tholt the pastor's preaching Utd not eutt a portion of the members of ihrs congregation. It b authorlti- -Wvely learned from a member erf the church bhut this disaffected clement comprises a comparatively small per cent, of its members, Who, While they express the highest regard for their pawlor na a Christian, man air'd an earnest worker, are not pleased wl h his style of preaching. His ipulplt id- dress, they say, la not w'h-at they want. This Is positively the only- ground upon Whloh 'the iBsaffeotion ts baaed, nt ts :t dissatisfaction which 1* likely to bo found in every dhureh. the only difference between this and other cases toeing Chat here the pastor, upon finding out that he couM not please -alt ot -his people, determined to withdraw. There.13 ucwdbly no con- Fropatton ns large as 'that of tho Flint Baptist drorcto where every metriher bears the same feeling of regard for ihe pastor. There are Otways to be found a few disaffected members. In the case above, however, those of t-.he opposition were probably more active than la usual. So far ns the church os Ml entity Is concerned, the release of Dr. Taylor was -not agreed to -witWovt deep regret. IHa very deltcite position, however, brought about hy bis oppoelng mem bers, determined Ihls mind beyond re consideration upon the only course that he saw was open do him a* a conscien tious pastor. ®r. Taylor’s teavtng will not cause any -wrangling among the members or lU-fcelltfg between his friends and those who Instigated the opjxjsltlen to him. Everything is entirely harmo nious and iLhe church will Immediately sot about fO got another pastor. Jim who this will toe they have not the rtlghlaet Idea, as they have not hud .time tb cart about for a successor to Dr. Taylor. Dr. Taylor will remain In Macon for several weeks yet. He sold fo a Tele graph reporter last night that he leuves his congregation ndttbearlo-gthe slightest feeling of rescntfulnesi to ward any .me: not more toward those who ojnmsed him than his best friends. He will preach In the first Baptist church several ttmes before ho leaves, though his resignation has already taken effect. MRS. STUBBS DEAD. Site Was a Good Woman. Lovcil By- All Who Knew Her.
