THE LAST CALL.
Beginning with the next issue
of the Telephone, we will make a
revision of our subscription list,
and some who have not paid up,
will necessarily be left off.
We trust that these will send in
the amounts due, and continue
with us. We dislike to lose a
single subscriber, but it is a matter
of business that forces itself upon
us. We cannot carry through an
other year those who have not paid
up for this.
We trust that all tlmse who like
the Telephone, and are satisfied wit li
thumper we arc giving them,
the money next week,
rrears.
ffsON’S PUBLICATIONS.
* Watson’s Magazine, as is
well ^ nown, was taken from him by
the Town Topics owner, Col. Marur,
and another person connected with
the publication,/who', refused Jo
pay 1 i n a year s ‘alary that was
due*lum as editoiv The Magazine,
of course,since Mr. Watson^‘with

'
in the South, but tho «rfn
ers are still attempting to kpep it
before Hie people ffo’Un here, trust
ing to the power.of the name, per
haps, and the reputation already
* established.
Mr. Watson is now publishing
“The Jeffersonian,” a weekly paper,
’at? Augusta, Ga... and next month
will launch a new magazine of his
own. In these his editorials will
appear, and in the first number of
the magazine he will also give a
history of his connection with the
Nfew York magazine,
The editorial page of the Jeffer
sonian is alive and interesting, as
only Mr. Watson knows how to
make one.
MR. SAMUEL SPENCER.
Mr. Samuel Spencer, president
of the Southern Railway, met a
tragic death this morning, at a
station in Virginia, where his pri
vate car was side-tracked and was
telescoped by another passenger
train. He and several of his party
were instantly killed.
Mr. Spencer was the foremost
man in railway development it
the south. He was a Georgian
and gradtta f ed at the state univer
sity. He worked his way up i)
the railway world, when he wen
north, until lie had come to be re
garded as one of the first men tt
the industrial development of tin
country.
Ho has been criticised by man;
people in the south, and perhaps
a great deal of it was just; im
now, that he is no more, -we wil
all be willing to accord^o his lit
the praise that is justly due it —
for he was, indeed, a great builde
and promoter.

THE SPECTATOR.
Most of th<> boys are out limiting
on tnis 29th of November—that’s
tho average boy's way of taking
Thanksgiving. It’s a bad day for
the birds, and yet not so very bad,
either. Not a great many of the
feathered tribe lose their lives on
Thanksgiving day. We are nearly
all spending it. perhaps, a little
different from the ordinary day.
A great many are hunting,
south are just simply taking a
| | rest, some are still figuring up in
terests, and profits and losses—
and some few no doubt are think
ing of the many good things that
have come to them during the
1 I year, and of how good the Lord
I has been to them. As a matter of
1 fact, this is what we all should be
I doing, for a while, at least on this
j Thanksgiving nineteen day, hundred in this and year six. of
grace
But human nature is a queer
and perverse thing, and happiness
is largely a relative term. We are
happy ami contented, many times,
only as we compare our lot with
that of some one else, and find
that we are a little better off than
they are. That is nothing to
boast of in human nature, and yet
it’s true, all the same. That be
ing the case, nearly all grades of
mankind ought to be happy—for
we can nearly all find some point
in which we are better off than
most of our fellows. So, then,
the conclusion of the whole mat
ter, as the Preacher would say, is,
that if we are not happy it is our
own fault. We have the ingre
dients for it all around us, if we
will but take time to see them.
For instance: We may feel in
clined to be envious of the man
who has all the finest and nicest
kinds of things to eat, until we
find out that he is racked by indi
gestion and dyspepsia that render
him miserable. Better a good
wholesome hoe cake, with fresh
butter and Georgia syrup, and a
good digestion—than ambrosia
and jelly cake every day, and a
stomach that is in continual re
bellion. And then the man who
may ne censuring fortune because
his shoes are not good enough—

doomed by them to drink the fa

grand principle’of his life, he

hour, when his faithful friends
were all weeping, around him.
“The mind is its own place; and
in itself can make, a heaven of
hell, a hell of heaven.
But, oh, how we people who
live in the country, and in a •coun
try like this, and in such a state
and county as ours, ought to be
happy! And in this age of the
world, too—this year of grace
nineteen hundred and six. There
is a whole volume of meaning in
those words “year of grace. J )
There has been n time when su
perstition, with pale face and
gaunt figures, filled the tninds and
lives of men with terror. There
have been times in the world’s
history when tyrants held swav
wer the lives and destinies of all,
when poor people were counted no
more than t ho -animals of
the field, to be killed and
trodden down at will. There
have been dark ages of religious
intolerance, when the rack and
lungeon awaited those who dared
to speak for truth and freedom.
There have been many ages when
woman was considered no more
than as a beast of burden by her
great Lord and Master, not even
entitled to education and enlight
enment. But all this is now like
i dark dream of the past, and the
mn of intellectual and religious
iberty has spread its rays over the
whole earth. Place it side by side

To the People of Screven.
Athens, Ga., Nov. {Jilt, 19015.
In looking over the various cata
logues of the”* different colleges

find, much'to my sorrow, that

other counties of her wealth, size

It is the peo

because they have t he fa!^e idea
that it takes so much money to

In the University Georgia,

why they have not done so is not
because they are not desirous of
having a better education but be
cause they are not aware of the
real and true conditions—Hie
cheap prices and the benefi ial
courses offered by this institution.
I am, in my bumble way, not
only willing to do all that is with
in my power to help men to get
up here by giving them such in
formation as they need, but also
am willing to do all I can for them
after they enter college. If you
