A new colony project i- on font,
There arc hundreds of good iu-
dustrious farmers in Georgia who
are at present tenants from ne-
cessity and not choice, from the
fact that the 'amis are owned til
large bodies by a few men, ami
they will not» ut the big far^js
up into small tracts and sell to
them. Every h)hu who is willing
and able to work it entitled tea

ten will lnbot hard, economize
and pay for a small farm in a few
years. In the meantime his fruits
an( j vinpj will be growing tip
around him, and improvements in
the way of houses and fences can
be made ns lie can spare the time
money. On rented land no
interest whatever is taken in such
things, and that is why the conn-
try generally shows so little im-
proveniont and so much dilapida-
tion. The object, of the pro ject-
ors is to get a large body of land
m some good,healthy agricultural Thi-land
section near a railroad.
to be surveyed into five, hundred ten,
twenty-five, fifty and
acre tracts; no single farm in the
colony to be larger than UK) acres,
These small farms will force the
owners to adopt the intensive
system of farming, raising finer
stock and bringing about what, is
HO much needed in the ‘Bouth, a
diversity of crops. It is purposed
to build a modern manufacturing
town as near the center of the
colony as possible to furnish a
market for all the surplus prod-
nets of (he farms. Manufacturing
sites are to be given free to all
manufacturing enterprises, and
exempt from municipal taxation
for tne space of ten years from t he
date of their establishment,. The
town and thickly settled stir
rounding country will afford first-
class schoolsatid churches,
tages not now enjoy ed by many
farmers to give their children a
good education. Ex-Gov.

most, of the thinking, progressive
men of our State advocate these

Contentment at Homo
Oh, what a blessing to have
contentment at. home. Who of us
try to live contented and even
make others so? A eon ted life is
next to heaven. How nappy, and
how much to be envied is the man
or woman who not only feels con¬
tented with their lot in life, but
so speak and act as to make ot h¬
ers more contented with theirs.
The good book teils us to be con¬
tented with what we have, but
we have so much to make us low
spirited and sad—even sickness
and sometimes death. We have
to try very hard sometimes, and
how sweet. U is to have confiden¬
tial friends who really enjoy a
few hours with us, who feel that
our conversations have done them
real good and made them stronger
to stand the ills of life.
How many discontented hus¬
bands even here in our God-like
city, who feel that they, by their
noble conduct and unselfish lives,
have helped to make their home a
heaven of contented happiness to
the woman who has given up nil
other ties for Ins sake. Alas how
often do husbands return home
after a hard day’s work to meet
frowns and cross words, where lie
ought to meet smiles and content¬
ment.
On the other hand, how many
idle, drunken, distorted husbands
return home to their wives (or to
the women they call their wives,
but. are real I v slaves) with bitter
words which not. onlv do they

Over iu Georgia the good

worrying themselves to death
over the milleuium and the
end coming of Christ. This is a
good sign. When the average
Georgian tangles himself up with
such a question it shows that his

Editor Crura Got the Verdict.
A Vienna special of the 22nd
says. trial
The most sensational ever
known in this county, and the
fi rB t of the kind in its history,
culminated this morning returned at
o’clock when the jury
verdict of not guilty in the case
0 f D. A. R. Crum, editor of the
Vienna Progress, who had been
prosecuted for criminal libel by
Mayor F. J. Bivins of Cordele.
Home time ago in two or three
issues of the Vienna Progress,
Editor Crum had pointed articles
reflecting very severely on the
public and private character and
conduct, of Mayor Bivins of Cor-
dele, and finally challenged him
to disprove the charges by a re-
sort, to the courts. Bivens accept-
ed the challenge and had Crum
arrested for criminal libel and
put under bond for trial at the
session of county court beginning
last Monday. Following are the
counts on which the charge was
based:
First, in asserting in his paper,
the Vienna Progress, that Mayor
Bivins was a “liar, scoundrel and
skunk;” second, that Bivins had
degraded his official station and
used it, for the protection of his
friends and those who had given
him money or its equivalent, to
secure this “official protection;”
third, in accusing Bivins in said
articles of being a “poltroon,
and scoundrel,” in reference
maladministration of the office lie
holds; fourth, accusing the mayor,
Bivins, of being a partner with
another party in running a lewd
house in Cordele, sharing in the
profits and giving it protection;
fifth, for general malfeasance in
office.
The trial was on count No. 1,
Judge!). L. Henderson presiding.
Over 250 witnesses were sum¬
moned from Cordele alone, and
the town was nearly depopulated
Of its male citizens during
progress of the trial. A great
Iliass oi testimony was given pro
and con. A prominent witness
lor the detense was Mrs. Edna
Hunter, now of Cordele, once
known to the Atlanta
as “Mrs. Ilickey. of
Crum admitted author-hip and
the articles in his paper
claimed justification on the
ground that the charges feeling were
true. Considerable was
manifested, and every inch of
ground was hard fought by both
sides. During t he process of the
trial Judge Henderson had all
minors ejected from the court-,
room. Col. Crum created a polit¬
ical sensation at one stage of the
proceedings by putting one of the
jury on the stand, who testified
that Mayor Bivin. during the last
legislative campaign ottered for
the sum of $300 to throw the A.
P. A. vote of Cordele to the sup¬
port of the witness, J. P. Mat¬
thews, who was then running on
the populist ticket.
After arguments by counsel
Judge Henderson charged the
jury, closing exactly at two min¬
utes to midnight, after which
time the trial could not proceed
legally, it boing Sunday.
The jury were out all night and
returned a verdict of “not guilty”
this morning at 10 o’clock.
It is understood that the charg¬
es on the other four counts will
tie withdrawn by Mayor
attorneys.
