BROWN A CARPENTER, KOITOIL8 ANI» IMJHI.ISlIKKH. I., I 1 . WINTER. Contriliutin« Editor. W HAT DOES IIE MEAN! It is told of Sargent S. Prentiss that after he h d made one of his great speeches one of his friends cried out. “Die, Prentiss, die.” Some men do not live long enough, others live too long. If Theodore Roosevelt had died ten years ago, after hesucceeded in making peace between Russia and Japan or, if later he had fallen under the paws of an African lion he would have taken his place among the American immortals. This remark is not intended to carry any ci post Jnrlo suggestions; but all of Mr. Roosevelt's friends must see that he has lost in the esteem of his com patriots within the last few years. This decline in popular favor has not been due to his independent, outspoken ways. We still love independence, and love the independent, honest man. Men may lose partisan followers by inde pendence, but they do not lose the con fidence of their fellow-citizens by ex ercising the right to think for them selves. That which men will not honor is in sincerity. However right a man may be in his stand on any question, if his neighbors think he is not actuated by the highest principles of honesty and honor they will not give him their con fidence. It is not the fault of the American people that Theodore Roose velt haH dropped from tho level of a statesman—a plane on which his coun trymen believed he walked and lived ten years ago—to the level of a com mon politician. There has not bei n a time in many years w hen the people of this country had a better opportunity to show their patriotism than during the trying years of Mr. Wilson’s administratioi . Wm. If. Taft, one of the noblest men even in defeat, has realized this, and has given tho President his whole hearted support and sympathy. What has Mr. Roosevelt done? He has not neglected a single opportunity to find fault with the Administration, and all it haH done. What does he mean by all this? Is he thinking of running for the Presidency next year? If so, on what ticket? In he playing into the hands of the Democrats or Republicans? Or does he purpose to resurrect the Progressive party? Does he wish to defeat Woodrow Wilson, or does he wish to insure Mr. Wilson's re-elec tion? What does he mean, anyhow? Does he know himself? HIS VINDICATION. Reports from Washington and Berlin seem to indicate beyond a doubt that the policy of Mr. Wilson has been suc cessful, und that the matters in contro versy between the United States and 'Germany touching the submarine war fare of the latter will lie adjusted with out serious friction Once more and the world never be fore needed the lesson so much the wisdom of pacific methods has been vin dicated. Suppose such a jingo as Mr. Roose velt had been in the White House at this time, what would have happened? Whether Mr. Roosevelt is a mere blus terer or a real believer in war or not, he would have been utterly incapahle of meeting the issue between the Uni ted States and Germany, as well as other international questions, as wisely as Mr. Wilson has met them. If one were to take Theodore Roose velt seriously, and supposing he had been ut the head of the Government at this time, one of the probabilities is that he would have us at war both with Mexico and Germany, and heaven only knows how many other nations. Of course. Mr. Wilson has not been infallible, and has made some inconse quential mistakes; but Ins course has been conservative, wise and patriotic. He has not wished war. and in this he has fairly represented the consensus of the thought and desire of his fellow- citizens. It has been at least a year since the people of the South felt as hopeful as they do to-day. That the worst is over we cannot doubt. The new adjustments of business make this certain. The abundant foodstulfs raised in this sec tion the present year cannot fail to have a most beneficial effect on general business conditions. The fact that so little has been bought on credit is an other helpful factor in the situation; and we believe that the improvement will be permanent and far reaching. The lessons of the war and its experi ences will give us a real “New South.” independent, self-sustaining, prosper ous in town and country, with every branch of industry better established, and a period of such progress and pros perity as we have never known in all our history. l.Ot M.S BROl'CHT FORWARD Visit The Halcyon. — We have for next week the most remarkable pro gramme in pictures, accompanied with music to make them seem real by Searlea and Attawav.

Fifty-four delegates, representing nineteen churcheB of the Western Bap tist Association, met at the First Baptist church, Newnan, on Tuesday last, for a two-days’ session. The meeting was for tho purpose of perfecting an organ ization to be known as the Sunday- school Convention of the Western Bap tist Association, to operate under the direction of the Baptist Sunday-school Board, and to be under tho supervision of local pastors. The main object of the organization is to promote and per fect existing Sunday-schools within the limits of the association, to establish new schools where needed, and to adopt such means and measures as will in crease the interest and efficiency of Sunday-school work generally.

Athena Banner. 27th ult, Hon. Garland Jones, of Newnan, is n visitor to the city, passing through Athens on his way from Asheville, N. C., to his home. Mr. Jones is one of the State’s best-known citizens, and a leader of the House in the Georgia Leg islature. During the stormy session at the recent closing of the Legislature Mr. Jones occupied the chair, and at the most critical moments of the pro ceedings tie was called upon for rulings which were being heatedly contested over many measures up for debate. His rulings were fair, just, and met the approval of both the pros, and cons. He has been a member of the House for several years, always ranking on the important committees, and chair man of several. He is now chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which is the most important in the House, as this committee is supposed I to provide in some way for the secur ing of the finances of the State by which the machinery can be kept run ning and operating on schedule time. Mr. Jones talked interestingly on the subject of the extra session which the Governor is soon to call, but he did not express an opinion as to when he thought the Governor would call the members in extra session. That sub ject is entirely in the hands of Gov. Harris, and no one but him has any idea when it will be called. Mr. Jones is accompanied on his trip by Mrs. Jones and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Thompson, of Newnan. SHARPSBURG Miss Carrie Gay, of Fayetteville, visited Mr. and Mrs. C. H. North a few days ago. Mrs. Sara McWhorter and children, who have been the guests of Mr. T. N.
