Every man should hold of¬
fice the second term and as
many more as he wants, pro¬
vided he can get it.
President Roosevelt did
a good deed for the people
of the South when he recalled
the troops sent out with Fath¬
er Sherman over the country
his father laid waste with the
torch in the sixties.
The Atlanta Georgian has
been on our exchange list for
only a few days but we feel
like classing it among our old
friends already. It’s all right,
and is one among the first ex¬
changes we read each day.
T. P. Ramsey announces
this week as a candidate for
redresentative to fill the unex¬
pired term or his father, who
was a member of the legis¬
lature at the time of his death
Tom is the proper man to fill
the office and will be elected
without opposition.
The News in its feeble little
way was for Judge Kite, and,
although he was beaten, it is
very glad indeed that Murray
gave him a majority. It now
joins forces with the conquer
or and will support Congress¬
man Lee against any other
man aspiring to this place.
Geougia has the greatest
population of any state in the
union. If you don’t believe
this go and get your Atlanta
Journal file and count the
counties that are “solid” for
Hoke Smith, and then add on
what the other candidates for,
governor will get and you have ]
a greater number of voters 1
than even the state of New
York.
Everybody should do all
in their power to get Billy
Martin elected president of the
senate. There will he no man
in that august body with more
ability to fill the place, and
then it is our time to have a
president of the senate any¬
way. If there has ever been
one elected north of Marietta
it has been so long ago that
everybody has forgotten it.
The town cows have about
completed their work of de¬
molishing the shade trees in
the court house yard. It is a
mistake when you hear any¬
one say that a cow has no rea¬
soning power. If you could
see these brutes go about
their work of destruction you
would be convinced that they
have plenty of it. The trees
are not large, only having
been planted a few years, and
can be bent to the ground
with a little exertion. A cow
will go up to one of them,
throw her neck around it,
push and slip up a little and
push again. She continues
this until the top comes with¬
in her reach, when she takes
her own time to eat it out.
There were four hundred dol¬
lars spent to fence the court
house yard, but three gates
are down and of course, this
sum of money stands for noth¬
ing at all. A dollar would
keep the varmints out, but
there is no one to see to it.
It has been said of Dick
Russell that he could not he
bought for any price; Dr.
Nunnally has been considered
one of Georgia’s greatest di¬
vines, and yet Hoke Smith
said in a speech the other day
at Washington that both of
these gentlemen had been
hired to come to that place
and challenge him for a joint
debate. He refused to debate
with either of them. He has
been almost dying for the last
ten months for someone to
tackle him in a joint debate,
and when the chance arrived
he “crawfished” clear out of
it. What difference would it
make to him who hired these
gentlemen to engage him in a
word combat if even such was
the case? He says he is equal
to any or all of them, and it
this be the case, it looks like
he would have discussed a few
matters with these gentlemen.
The truth is he is running a
bluff on the good people of
Georgia and if they do not find
it out between now and the
22 nd of August and from ha\
ing let his bluff game take
possession of them to the ex¬
tent of nominating him for
governor, they will find it out
before his time expires as
governor. “The people’s can¬
didate” has mace a fortune off
of “the dear , people, , ,, and
now after grinding as much
out of them as he needs he
must be made their leader,
The people’s candidate !
wouldn’t that make you much
sick?—Much.
Free Lunches in Schools. j
The city of Milan, Italy,is said ]
te be the first in the country to
provide a free hot lunch for pub
lie school children. The experi
ment is being tried in a school in
a poor quarter, and through the
latter part of the winter a hot
lunch has been given 1,000 chil
five days in the week.
THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1906
The Country Correspondent.
From the Perry (Okla.) Re¬
publican.
Again, at night when the work
is done, you pick up the country
weekly from the old home back
East. You look over town news,
scan the blazing half-page ads
and turn over to the country cor
respondence. Not that you were
acquainted in every neighbor¬
hood from Pleasant Valley to
Pumpkin Ridge, nor do you know
the present generation spoken of
in the news items. But here and
there is an old family name that
makes you think, and takes yon
back to the good old days gone
by. An item about the old church
of the school, and as you sit there
the recollection brings back
memories all but forgotten. You
wander out on the big road
through the valley and the wood¬
land to the big farmhouse. Then
a hundred faces of boyhood com
pan ions are all before you as you
picture the revival at the cross¬
roads church or the spelling bee
at the old red school bouse,
you wonder what, has become of
all the bovs and girls you
when you started West.
The old tourist printer has
been relegated to the junk pile
by the linotype, the city man
takes his notes in shorthand, the
editor dictates his matter
amanuensis and from the type
writer it goes down the tube—
the revolution is complete, yet
there is one good, old-fashioned
feature holding over—the weekly
copy from the country corres¬
pondent. Nothing can take his
place. May he be with us forev¬
er, because the paper needs him
and the readers appreciate him
and we want him, though he
hasn’t improved a lick m spell¬
ing and punctuation.
As to Ice.
From tbe New York Press.
Manufactured ice can be sola
at a T cents a
cL a band 8
profit at that. To charge fifty
cents a hundred for lake-filth—a
pound of dirt to every forty
pound chunk of snowiee—is crim¬
inal. Let Congress start an in¬
vestigation. Not. a nice one, but
an ice one. Ice is a necessity.
Ice is a staple. Ice is nearly as
essential to human comfort and
health as wheat. The very poor
pay over $1 a hundred pounds all
through the summer, and the
prospect for the heated term is
$2 a hundred. If New York
would establish an ice plant—oh,
what’s the use! What a chance
tor Carnegie, Rockefeller, liar
riman, Morgan, Ryan, Senator
Clark, llavemeyer and the rest!
There has always been one trou¬
ble with philanthropy—it seldom
hits the right spot. Libraries
and universities be hanged!
Boys, Read Biographs.
We cannot help living in some
deree the lives of heroes who are
constantly in our minds. Our
characters are constantly being
modified, shaped and molded by
the suggestions winch are thus
held.
The most helpful life stories
for tne average youth, says the
Success Magazine, are not she
meteoric ones, the unaccountable
ones, the astonishing ones like
those of Napoleon, Oliver Crom¬
well and Julius'Oaesar.

Sherman’s Tribute to Forrest.
Forrest was the most remarka
man the Civil War produced
on either side. He had never
read a military bonk in l:i« life,
knew nothing about tactics,could
not even drill a company: but ho
had a genius for strategy which
was original and, to me, incom¬
prehensible. There was no the¬
ory or art of war by which 1 could
calculate with any degree of cer¬
tainty what Forrest was up to.

He was Humble.
The late Pearson Money, fath- j
er of Senator Money, writes R.
I\ Williamson of Belzoni, Miss ,;
related this story of an old man
out in Texas before the war.
A religious revival was in pro¬
gress, the whole community was
very much revived, and who were
not members had joined the
church except this old man, and
he was very much concerned.
He would go up to be prayed for
at every meeting. Tile preacher
was talking to him one night
while he was on his knees, try- ;
ing to explain and encourage ;
him. lie said to the old man :
“Brother, you musjt be hum-!
ble, humble yourself before the j
Lord. u
The old man looked up througbl
iiis tears and said :
“I am as humble as a d—dj
dog.”
