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 leprpts, however. 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 _ing himself with a pistol. Jasper D. Carter, formerly *of Cpvingt»«, after hawing failed to persuade' a girl in a ■ disreputable house,to accom-* pany him tp shot her .twice and then blew out his • own brains. The woman will ,die. Three men .were arrested -and S2O, oopa worth of opium seized at Seattle Wash., a few days ago. It is alleged that the men had beep smuggling *,opiqin over the boarder in . skelton pianos. I Eifty-three Filipino employ-i ,es of the United States mil- j itary government were mas-' sacred by insurgents on May; 15th, the insurgents making their escape after the outrage .was committed; 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- nah News. 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. — ! Forest—Blade. 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.”' "-Nero fiddled while Rome was! , burning.” The people should ’ retire the present eommitee in- 1 stan ter .-Jefferson Count}- Ban-!- ner. 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 Journal. I [Continual from first pngs ] aeecptinf nil invitation to spend nn evening in company where his •‘linly love” had not been invited. After iiiumiv.y; is he always as particular? During the days of courtship, his gallantry would df-! mnnd that lie should make lnm-j self agreeable to her; after mar riage it often happens that ho thinks more of lining rgreeablo to h i niseif. How often it happen.- j that a married man, after having j been away from home the livelong ; (lav. during which the wife has 1 ; toiled at her duties, goes at even-| mg again to some place of amuse ment., and leaves her to toil an alone, uneliecred and unhappy. How often it. happens that h'-r kindest offices pass unobserved, and -un re warded even by a smile, ! tine her best efforts are condem ned by the fnnlt, finding husband. How often it happens, erven when the evening is spent at home, that it is employed in silent reading, or some other wnv, that does not | recognize the w ife’s right to shum ;in the enjoyments even of the fl'reside. Look, ye husbands, for a mom ent, and nmember what yov.r [wife was when you took her, not ; from compulsion, but from vour own choice; a choice based, prob ably, on what you then consider her superiority to all others.

V\. 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.” H. A. Champion & Co., Wiroi.FSAl.E AM) RKTVJI. UK Af.EKS IN FINE LIQUORS .Tng Trnde, A Specially.
