Obituary.
One of our boat citizen*, Joseph Hen
ry Wise, died Thursday, Oct. IB, at hiB
home near Madras, on the same place
where he was l>orn 4. r . years ago, (.July
36, 1869,) having lived there all of his
life.
No man in the county was better
known, nnd his acquaintance has been a
lasting pleasure to all who knew him.
Oh, that everyone could have known
him! It would have been a help to any
man.
It is usual for some friend to write a
few words in memory of a departed
loved one, as in this case; but it is the
greatest desire of the writer to pass a
few remarks on the life, show the
beautiful character of this lamented
Christian man, trusting they will be an
incentive for good to some who may
chance to road them.
Jos. H. Wise was the eldest living
child of William and Elizabeth Stamps
Wise. His father died when Joe was
Prospects Brighter For Cotton.
Atlanta C.ronrlnn, 2-Lh Intit.
One of the most hopeful utterances
sounded in the cotton situation since
the war first paralyzed the industry
was made in Atlanta Wednesday. It
was that Germany and Austria are
open to shipments of cotton, and with
the demand of their mills, together
with other activities in Kurope, prob
ably more than 12,000,000 bales of
cotton will bo sold out of this season’s
crop, l’rices already an 1 liftinpr.
"Certainly the South will not have
to hold the groat amount of cotton
that nt lirBt was expected," said J. S.
Akers, of Inman, Akers & Inman,
biggest cotton brokers in Atlanta and
among the foremost in the South.
"Europe is open for export, and ex
cept for the mills of Northern France,
most of the European mills are unim
peded by the war.
"Prospects are bright for resump
tion of the old trade into which the
South poured its crop Thus the dis
tress in the cotton situation will find
relief—a more satisfactory relief than
that of retiring the crop, because it is
the natural relief of consumption.
"It will not be long before connec
tion with Germuny will be established.
Now that we are assured cotton will
not be seized as contraband of war,
quite young, which threw the responsi-
iii;.’ a — . utjt uc nt'iACU on cuniri auauu xjl wui ,
hllities and cares of the home and fam- . .. . . ... ,
. . , , . uno Idm I the only question to be settled concern-
dy ujion Joe s manly shou ders Every. ■ .l. V. . , . ., .. ,
, . ,. f ; • r ‘ veT y mg the German trade is the question of
one who knew him knowH how he cared
for Ilia widowed mother, his sisters,
Emma and Fannie, and his brother,
JBmes, who was then a child. At his
mother's death, several years later, he
continued tho work he so bravely and
willingly shouldered, and was father,
mother, and best of brothers to his
loved ones.
Joe wan taken sick about a year ago.
He was never heard to complain, and,
being ho patient and humble, he was
jUHt a precious care. The devotion of
his two sisters, brother and sister-in-
Inw was such to (he poor, diseased
brother ns one rarely sees. He appre
ciated every kindness of his friends,
who came and did all they could for
him. His sister-in-law, Ruth, unit her
children were ulwnys favorites of
Joe, the youngest of which bears his
name. As long ns he noticed anything
he had a welcome smile for these little
nephews, James and Joseph, and little
niece, Elizabeth, calling thorn endear
ing names. Towards the Inst., when he
knew lie could not live, knowing he
would soon have to go, he suid: "I de
sire to live for my sisters; otherwise, |
um ready to go, if God wills. I urn pre
pared." Oh, that we could all feel so
calm and safe! 11 is lust hope for life
was for his sisters'sukes. One rarely
finds a family so attached to each other
as the Wise family. Left orphaned, ns
they were, in childhood seemed to hind
them closer.
On Friduy afternoon, Oct, Hi, a sor
rowing group of friends and relatives
followed the remains to Jones Chapel,
where funeral services were conducted
by Rev. S. I). Crernean. The inter
ment was in the cemetery there, near
the church he loved ami served so faith
fully for twenty-three years, being one
of the stewards at the time of his death.
Messrs. Lon Sprayherry, Geo. Smith,
Hob Smith, Caleb Cook. Hinton Wilson
and I)r. W. It. Edwards, six lifelong
friends, were pallbearers. Rev. Mr.
Crernean gave a beautiful account of his
life. Lying there, among beautiful
(lowers, his favorite songs beautifully
rendered, among loving relatives und
friends, wo passed for the last time to
gaze on his holile face, so cold in death!
llut, just below, on a plate of the cas
ket, were the words, "At Rest,"and wo
knew that while our hearts were torn
to give up this beloved, pure-hearted
man, he had gained his reward —was
"at rest"—a companion of the great
God he had loved so well. Before tak
ing the remains to their last resling-
nlace u large concourse of colored peo
ple filed by with weeping eyes. This
thoroughly attested v hat we had al
ways heard of Joe—that, regardless of
station, he always gave a square deal.
He was never known to wrung anyone.
His morals were, from boyhood, of the
highest type. One of Ins physicians,
who had known him long, said, "One
of our best citizens has passed away.
Joe Wise has left the greatest heritage
a man could leave—the memory of a
pure and Christian life a life of love,
of kindness nnd usefulness."
One Who Knew Him Well,
Madras, Ga., Oct. lit, 1911.
ing the tierman trade is the question
German exchange, which at present is
quoted at 88, when it normally should
be 94. This would mean a loss of
about 81 a hale in exchange alono. On
the other liund, there is a premium on
British exchange. This must be set
tled satisfactorily, and doubtless will
be.
"The greatest difficulty is lack of
cable communication with Germany.
Once that is obtained, the situation
will be made clear. Perhaps it can be
arranged for German bankers to send
their money to New York, where own
ers of cotton can he paid and at the
same time can be freed from the ex
change charges. That, of course,
brings up another question, for the cot
ton then becomes the property of a
belligerent—but it Beems that even if
it is German property, it would be free
from seizure by an enemy i f shipped on
American vessels.
"Great Hritain's mills are working;
mills in Spain are working—1,000 bales
went there from Atlanta last week—
and now with Germany and Austria
open to our trade through the declara
tion that cotton is not contraband,
there is every hope for reasonable
disposition of the crop. Of course, not
so much of it will be disposed of us in
times of peace, for the war will cur
tail manufactures, naturally—even our
own cotton mills are so affected. Rut
more will be disposed of than the South
at first believed.
"Already the information of cotton's
immunity to seizure, has had a stimu
lating effect on tho market, so that,
figures have rallied one-quarter of a
cent since Saturday.”
It will be a question of only a (short
time, Mr. Akers believes, before
American ships will he dispatched to
neutral ports of the North Sea laden
with cotton for German mills.

He came to us like a specter out of
t he crystal freshness of a perfect morn
ing. His costume was comical, his
hands and face smeared with coal dust
A burlesque audience would have
promptly accorded him a laugh,
He was panhandling, clumsily. In
his eyes were agony and on his lips un
speakab'e grief.
Some of us had known him when he
moved as other men, belonging to our
world, sharing our traditions, our pecu
liar diversions, our affection for the
work that is our own. His appearance
brought a chill, a disturbing anxiety.
Wlioui has destiny marked down for
the next spectacular fall? we inquired
each of himself.
He spoke a few words about "going
to the source of things." "You learn
much en route,” he said. Diffidently
we gave small coins to him, as though it
was our shame and not his that he
should beg.
No one moralized. To point out ex
ternal reasons is so easy and so silly
One goes up, nnother down—Kismet!
The rush of work closed in over the
memory of his visit. Yet the stored
memory, a picture in strong colors, will
come up at times, and we will wonder
where and how he is existing. He be
longs out there in the valleys, on the
docks, in evil-smelling bars, and noth
ing can bring him back. Life, having
twisted and battered him so cruelly,
will not let go, but continues to drag
him. helpless, through his private hell.

A farmer in a South Georgia county
dropped into a local bank, his face
mile long, and began to unload his
troubles on the banker.
"What's the matter « itli you,Smith?’
asked the banker.
"Why, I've got twenty bales of cot
ton and I can’t sell a bit of it. I have
! just been in Bill Tompkins' store to get
I some meal. Hour, side-meat, and corn to
tool my stock, and you know he wouldn’t
let me have it. Saul I owed enough for
! that sort of stuff' now.”
I "And he was right," retorted the
i banker. "Here you claim to be a (ar
mor. and yet buy meal, llour, meat, and
1 even stuff to feed your stock. You’re a
h —I of a farmer. You don't deserve
any sympathy."

Dr. John M. T. Finney, of the Johr a
Hopkins Medical School, of Baltimore,
speaking at the Massachusetts General
Hospital at the exercises of the sixty-
eighth anniversary of the discovery of
ether, said: “There is far too great a
tendency to operate nowadays, and the
average doctor resorts to this shorter
route when perhaps a more careful
diagnosis would show some other
course to be preferable. Many oper
ators—and I use the word advisedly—
rush into operations with no clear idea
whatever of the true nature of the
disease which they are endeavoring to
combat, and for this reason many oper
ations are needlessly performed.”
