. Tlie late R. H. Plant held
insurance policies on his life
to the amount of $750, 000. j
which have been turned over
to his creditors.
If reports are true times are
getting a little hotter in the j
Far East, 15,000 Japanese
aud 3,000 Russians being re
ported killed in an attack on
Port Arthur. There is little
faith to be placed m the war

Robert H. Plant, President
* «of the First National Bank
, and owner of the I. C. Plant’s
...Son Bank, of Macon, both of
which had been placed .in the
hands of receivers, committed
. suicide fast Saturday by shoot

failed to persuade' a girl in a
■ disreputable house,to accom-*
pany him tp shot her

Three men .were arrested
-and S2O, oopa worth of opium

A movement is afoot to j
have the eight-hour law apply
on the Panama Canal con
struction works. With eight
hour, anti-gambling, anti-li-j
quor, anti cigaretts, anti-swear
ing, vegetarian, cold water
cure, Christian science and
some other regulations in the
canal zone, the canal ought
to be nearly completed at the
end of the century. —Savan-

If you want to raise your,
hoy for the penitentiary, the
receipt is very simple. When
he gets into some mischief
aud your neighbor reports it
to you, curse him in tire pre
sence of the boy. When lie
gets alille larger and purloins
something of value and you
find it out, laugh at him and
let him go at that. When lie
gets into something that takes
him into the justice court, mid
lie is found guilty aud fined,
, pay his fine, curse the court
the jury, and every person
connected with the matter, and
the boy. You will soon
have a splendid candidate for
the penitentiary.—Walton
News.
There in at least the one
consolation about the weather
that one doesn’t have to worn
over the price of coal and the
price of ice in the .same hour
though one may have to do
both during the same day. —

I If the late Rev. 'l'. DcWitt
iTalmage had never said any
thing else, here is a short ser
mon that would dei-erve to
send his name down to post
erity as a great teacher of the
'truth: “A newspaper whose
j columns overflow with ads of
business men has more in
fluence in attracting to, and
j building up a city or town,
than any other agency that
can be employed. People go !
where there is business. jCap- 1
ital and labor will locate
I where there is an enterprising
community. No power on I
{earth is so strong- to build up!
a town as a newspaper well
patronized, and its power
should be appreciated.”
'There needs to be a new
Democratic Executive Com- j
mittee in Georgia. The one
we have arrogates to them
selves the right to “fix” things {
to suit the Atlanta State I Louse -
ring and the political pirates
allied to the gang and when
the people protest they snap
their fingers in their faces and
say “we are fixed and if you
don’t like it just lump it.”'

Fifty years ago Charles and
Anna Gerding were rijarried
in New York. The groom’s
gift to the bride was a deed to
a lot on Third avenue and One
hundred and seventy-fourth j
street, in that city. The,
: other day the couple celebra- i
ted their golden wedding, and
one of the incidents that went
towards making the occasion j
[enjoyable was the receipt by
{Mrs. Gerding of a check for
$40,000 for the lot, which she
jluftl recently sold. The orig
inal price paid by Mr. Gerding
for the lot was #2OO.
Recent occurences must
[have made the proposition ap
parent to all that private bank
inspectors are matters of ne-j
cessity.
; National banks and the;
banks which are chartered by
the state are looked after by
the inspectors and by the state
bank examiner, but the mi
cliarterecl concerns, which
operates just as any private
commercial business would do
have no check upon them.
; The people who entrust their !
| savings to one of these in- j
stitutions have noway of know
ing the exact status of the
i concern. This is not as it
! should and some system of
examination must be devised
-whereby the public maybe
kept informed concerning the
stability and status of the in
stitution to which they entrust
tlieir money.
This is a matter which de
mands the attention of the ,
legislature at the coming ses
sion; and the members of that!
Jxxly will conspicuously* fail;
in their duty unless they pass
a law providing for some ade
quate-system of examination j
for private banks. —.Atlanta

braggart is a powerful man, or
that such characters as Corbett,!
Eitzsinions. Sullivan or their
j tribe nre ideal American citizens, j
j The braggart ami hul ly is always
a weak character. The trlogen
tlenie** is strong. The man who
endures and overcomer and lives
to bless other livei is the (rue
gentleman. She true gentleman
is not. made out of clothes. Fine
feathers do not make fine birds,
j So no art of the tailor can make a
! man out of a tough by dressing
him in a fine suit. Some of the
; men with roughest exterior poa- |
sess the truest and tenderest spir
its, while some dressed in the 1
height of fashion nre demons in- '
carnate. We like the man with
sunny smile and a loving heart, :
an honest voice and a firm grip I
of the hand, a clenreye, keen wit- !
ted with boundless energy and a
never failing smile, a man sincere
sublimely unselfish, inspired by a
true warmth of heart. Uive ns
such a man obedient to the claims
of others, rather than the prim '
and pompons man whose heart
has the frigidity of an iceberg.
We believe what we need tad ay in
the home and in'the church and 1
in business is notan austere and ■
unbending Puritanism, but a .
large hearted, cheerful spirited, I
christiiii brotherliness, inspired j
not by dollars and acres, but by ,
obedience to our highest and best j
natures. The man who encases '
his life in business claims, or
wraps his being in a mantle wo- |
ven out of selfish acts can never
save the world. What we want
is sympathy. There are many
young men who have fallen in the
tragedy of life; they are bleeding
from some wound; what they
need is a brother's hearty hand j
shake, a loving voice saying:
“God bless you. my l>oy. all is j
not lost ; your life is not gone ; j
there are yet unwasted days in
which ydft can win back a good
name and an honorable place in
society. Be a man; I'll stand l>v
you; you can count on me.”
