THE EDITOR’S RECORD.
The editor died and wont to heaven,
But Btood outside the arate
Because he hadn’t the nerve to knock.
And thought that he would wait
Till some other mortals came along;
He’d then Bee what they’d do.
And if they entered the pearly gato
He thought ho might slip through;
He watched the vast procession pass
Up to the portals wide.
While Peter told them they were up too high,
And others he took inside.
The editor, weary of waiting so long,
Finally got in line
To see if Peter would accept him then
Or would "with thanks” decline;
He heard the sweet-voiced angels Bing,
His eyes filled to the brim;
He shivered and shook in agony.
Knowing his chances slim.
"Aha!” said Peter. "An editor hero?” *
lHe laughed with pure delight.)
"Why. certainly you may come right in.
For all you did was write.”

Commissioner Jarrell Talks
Great Emory Plans.
In commmon with all the great
churches of Christendom the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, South, from
the beginning of its history, has found
ed and fostered institutions of learning.
In so doing it has not departed from
the course of the Church of Christ in
all ages.
This educational policy has not been'
pursued for the achievement of secta
rian ends, but for the accomplishment
of pious and patriotic purposes. The
object proposed is the promotion of
such intellectual culture as will con
serve the democratic institutions, so
cial welfare and religious interests of
our country.
The church proposes institutions of
learning in harmony with the repub
lican spirit of the American common
wealth, and permeated by the prin
ciples and influence of the Christian re
ligion. It does not believe that the
high ends at which it aimB can be best
secured and served by a bureaucratic
type of secular education, imparted in
institutions which, in separation from
the ownership and crontrol of both
church and State, boast of irresponsi
bility to the people and seek support
from sources of supply infected with
the same evil spirit of spurious inde
pendentism.
Under the American system of gov
ernment the teaching of religion must
be left in a large degree in the hands
of the home and the church. To dis
charge her obligation in this respect
the church must have schools of higher
learning. In the nature of the caBe
and under the American system these
Christian schools cannot be owned and
operated by the State, but must be
left to the church. It is the narrowest
bigotry and the most arrogant tyranny
to try to rob the church of the right to
teach her own ' youth. That these
schools should promote the interests of
their denomination while serving in a
larger way the needs of society and
the nation is most natural, and is in
deed desirable if these great churches
are themselves a blessing to, the coun
try.
That the Methodist church will build
and adequately endow Emory Univer
sity ought to be a foregone conclusion.
If Georgia will add $500,000 to the
Atlanta half-million its permanence
will be assured. Eighteen other annual
conferences will put their gifts into an
institution which will yield its largest
benefit to our own State.
MoBt of us would sacrifice things
dearer than money to prevent the loss
of political independence. We do not
stop to consider that there are other
forms of dependence to which we tame
ly submit, though a small part of our
means would alter the situation. Who
ever educates our youth will accent
our speech and control the moral and
economic forces of our society. The
Hebrews at one time were forced to
sharpen their plows on Philistine anvils,
and we have been content to see our
most aspiring youth sharpen their wits
in foreign universities. In the times of
our poverty God winked at this neglect,
but now commands all Southerners
everywhere to repent.
There are seven universities in the
United States whose endowments ex
ceed $5,000,000 each. Not one of these
is in the South. The endowment of
Columbia University, New York, iB
greater than all the endowments of all
the colleges and universities in the
whole South. The-endowment of Har
vard University is nearly as great.
In Emory Uuiversity the Southeast
has its most promising opportunity to
build a great university. Three strong
A grade schools are in successful oper
ation, and a fourth will open in the
fall as the Lamar School of Law, the
only three-year law Bchool in this part
of the country. The school has nearly
$3,000,(WO behind it now, and the cam
paign will be pressed with increasing
vigor until a $5,000,000 institution is as
sured. The Ph. D. degree will then be
offered, and the Greater Emory will
get on the educational map of the na
tion.
Shall we not keep our achool-honses in
our own hands, and hold them in trust
for the good of the nation and for the
glory of God? Let us plant our ban
ners on our college walls, furnish from
our own fortunes and self denials the
fortunes of this war, and from < ur own
firesides the captains of this fight.
What Grover Cleveland Did.
Nashville Banner
Just about thirty years ago the first.
Cleveland administration was con
fronted by a situation resembling the
one that now opposes the administra
tion of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Cleveland
was the least imaginative and excitable
of men. He held in the greatest detes
tation the kind of vainglorious bully
ing, called militarism, which has
brought tumult on the world. But, be
sides being conservative, he was u man
of watchful intelligence. He had no
illusions about the kind of world he
was living in. He did not pretend to
believe things that he knew were not
true. With all his inclination toward
peace, he was the last man on earth
who would think of going unarmed in
an armed camp. In one of his mes
sages he wrote:
The nation that cannot resist ag
gression is constantly exposed to it.
Its foreign policy is of necessity weak,
and its negotiations are conducted with
disadvantage because it is not in con
dition to enforce terms dictated by its
sense of right and justice.”
Observe the language. To enforce
terms. Not to plead in vain for jus
tice, but to compel it by force of arms.
He did not want a navy (he said) which
was no more than a “shabby ornament
of government,” but one adequate to
carry out, should necessity arise, the
jurpose for which navieB are actually
juilt.—Collier’s Weekly.
The rehabilitation of the navy came
during Mr. Cleveland’s administration
and it was under the direction of a
Southern man, a Confederate veteran,
Hon. Hilary Herbert of Alabama, who
held the position of Secretary of the
Navy.
The building of the new navy came
none too soon. It enabled Mr. Cleveland
to make some thing more than a farce of
his demand on Great Britain that she
desist from her seeming purpose to
arbitrarily appropriate a part of Ven
ezuela’s territory, and it was also in
time for the war with Spain. Without
the warships the United States pos
sessed at that time the decisive battles
of Manila and Santiago would have
been impossible, and the war might
have been protracted and expensive.
In fact, our seacoast cities would have
been subject to bombardment from
Spanish ships.
Mr. Cleveland’s prescience—his prac
tice 1 -fcnse, it would be better to say —
saved this country from humiliation,
embarrassment and perhaps spoliation.
The new navy built under the Cleve
land administration gave this Govern
ment its first standing as a world power
and made it able to assume the place
among other nations to which its size,
wealth and population entitled it.
The United States is still growing.
Its commerce has increased, and there
is a prospect that it will be greatly in
creased in the near future. A larger
navy is needed to maintain our rightful
national importance, and measures of
military defense to secure us from pos
sibie invasion are also required.
The war in Europe has brought revc
lations which show us to be behind in
matters of preparedness. It iB a mere
matter of common Bense not to remain
in that unsafe condition.
Mr. Cleveland had little imagination,
but he had a wonderfully good fund of
common sense. What he said in his
early eighties and what subsequent
events fully justified is true of pesent
conditions.
“Just Right.”
Milton County Nows.
A few weeks before the prohibition
law went into effect in Georgia a well-
known planter in the southern part of
the State received from his regular
house in Kentucky a ten-gallon keg of
“bourbon.” He had always received
a good article from this house, hut this
keg contained a mixture that the
planter could not get down with a good
face, lie immediately became philan-
trophic, although he had previous to
this occasion been very sparing with
this very scarce article. Sending for
“Uncle Joe,” who had been on the
plantation for fifty years or more, he
said to the old darkey:
“Joe, this prohibition law will go
into effect in a week or so, and I don’t
want to be caught with more than is
allowed by law. I have just received a
keg of good whiskey, and as it will be
hard for you and the hands to get any
in the future, I want you to take this
and treat them all, telling them that I
appreciate the good work they have
done and deBire them to have a drink
on me.”
He saw the old darkey the next day
and asked him:
“Joe, how was thatlicker?”
“Bobs, hit was jes’ right.”
“How do you mean by ’jes right?”
“Why, boss, if hit had er been any
better we wouldn’t er got it, un’ ef hit
had er been any wore’ wo couldn’t er
drunk it.”
The Joy of the Cornfield.
Tuscaloosa Nows.
“I feel better from having seen that
field of growing corn,” is a thought
expressed, but far more often felt sub
consciously by men and women after a
journey out into the country in these
days of June, when big white clouds
sail through the sky, and the earth lies
warm and dusty underfoot. A field of
growing corn! There is something in
it that appeals, whether we are con
scious of it or not, to our deepest hu
man instincts, for it arouses in us a
sympathy with the great warm earth
which bears us, which supports us
through life, and in the end takes ua
back unto her breast. But it is not of
the beginning or the end that the corn,
field reminds us; it is of the present and
of the near future, when cold winds
shall blow, that the corn is suggestive.
We see it now in its growing beauty,
and in vision we see well-stocked cribs
bulging with plenty for man and beast.
There is hardly a sense that it does
not appeal to. In its green and leafy
beauty it makeB a picture for the eye.
When it is stirred by the wind its rustle
is a symphony for the ear. There is a
good earthy smell in the well-worked
rows. And, contemplating the growing
field, we get a foretaste of the well-
filled ear roasted in the shuck or boiled
on the cob.
It is no wonder, then, that men feel
better after having Been a field of grow
ing corn,

Jimmy owns a $1 watch which he
bought six years ago. Recently it re
fused to run, so Jimmy took it to a
jeweler. He made a post-mortem ex
amination and when Jimmy called for
the verdict next day his watch was
handed him with a piece of crepe tied
to its Btem.
“No hope!” was the mournful ver
dict of the jeweler. “Might as well
send it to Davy Jones’ locker.”
“What's the matter?” asked Jimmy,
alarmed.
“Found a cockroach inBide.”
“That’s what plugged up the works :
eh?”
“No,” replied the jeweler. “The
cockroach had been keeping the thing
going, but he died at his poet.”
A lot of people seem to think it smart
to beat a newspaper out of subscrip
tion, and will frequently take a paper a
whole year, read it and profit by it, and
then refuse to pay for it. This is down
right dishonesty. It is just as bad as
beating a grocery bill.—Dalton Citizen.
Bowel Complaints in India.
In a lecture at one of the Des Moines,
Iowa, churches a missionary from India
told of going into the interior of India,
where he was taken Bick; that he had a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy with him
him and believed that it saved his life.
This remedy is used successfully in
India both as a preventive and cure for
cholera. You may know from this that
it can be depended upon for the milder
forms of oowel complaint that occur in
this country. Obtainable everywhere.
