Senator W. 0. Martin, of the

friend of the platform measures,
and has probably spoken- in favor
of more reforms than any other
senator on the floor.
lie is a splendid debater and
is also one of the closest students
of all legislation introduced into
the senate.
His detailed investigation of a
bill naturally makes his discus¬
sion of it the more interesting as
lie is familiar with every point
and can easily explain it when
questions are hurled at him by
opponents of a measure that he
may be supporting.
On the contrary when he at¬
tacks a measure he is as familiar
with it aff are the supporters of
the bill, He has given much at¬
tention to railroad legislation, as
lie is chairman of the railroad
committee of the senate.—At¬

In Memoriam
On Sunday, July 21st, at 12
o’clock, the gentle spirit of Kate
Alberta Langston dropped its
garment of care and passed from
the weary body up to the Eter¬
nal City of God. Beitie, as she
was lovingly called by friend
and loved ones, was the daugh
ter of Willie F, and Mary Lang
ston, and twelve years and elev
en months old, the youngest
child and household pet.
Two years ago her health be¬
gan to fail, and since that time
her life has been one long light
against the inevitable, but nei¬
ther the faithful, loving care and
nursing of friends or the skill of
the best physicians availed any¬
thing. With deep, yearning anx
iety, her loved ones had to sit
helplessly by and see, that with
each passing cay, she was slowly
slipping from their loving grasp.
Though so young and full of hope,
and so much to live for. She
never murmured when her ca¬
pacity for enjoying them was
denied her. Nor ever complained
of her sufferings which at times
was most excruciating, hut bore
it all with patience and fortitude.
Nor as she neared the “dark
waters” did she rebel against
God’s will.
She was gentle, cheerful and
happy, loving and lovable, was
generous hearted and possessed a
sunny disposition which won for
her ynaiiy friends, both old and
young. Who, sadly miss her
bright face and cheerful voice
She was a dutiful daughter, a
loving kind sister, an obedient
and studious pupil and possessed
a bright intellect, also a rich
sweet voice, and nothing seemed
to atford her greater pleasure
than to sing the sweet songs
learned m Sabbath school of
which she was ever a willingand
regular attendant, until de¬
prived of it by .her afflictions.
And often while cfm tiffed to her
bed of suffering, could she be
heard singing some favorite song*
Just a short time before death
claimed her, being alone while;
her mother who had let'E the
bedside for some needed article,
heard her faint but sweet voice
singing, “Shall I Meet You Up
There,” While Bertie had never
made a public profession of re¬
ligion, nor confessed Christ be¬
fore the world, she left the
sweet assurance tnat all was
well with her soul and she had
no fears of the dark waters
through which she was passing.
There are but few of her tender
age more universal by beloved or
whose death was more deeply re¬
gretted. We thank God for her
short sweet life and her beauti¬
ful death, She is -now beyond
all pain and suffering, and weary
longing safe from the evils of
this life. And with the dear
ones who had preceeded her to
the better land. She is ming¬
ling with the angel band, with a
stronger, sweeter voice she joins
the heavenly choir in singing a
sweeter song than was ever heard
or sung by mortal tongue, in
praises to our Savior King. To
the loving parents who so faith
fully and tenderly nursed her,
and the brothers and sisters who
watched over her with such deep
solicitude, we can only say,
weep not, but strive to be re¬
signed to the will of Him who
doeth all things well, antt ever
Jive so that when your work here
is finished, you may meet Bertie
in a land where there is no
death.
On Monday 22nd,. after the
funeral services conducted by
Rev. V. 0. Maples, the precious
form was laid • to rest in- the
Spring Place cemetery, covered
over with beautiful flowers,
placed there by loving hands.
,We left her to await the resur¬
rection morn when we hope to
meet her again not changed, but
glorified in a home beyond the
skies.
Angels we sa,w not that ferried hep o'er,
Neither could we that city behold
Yet over there she is waiting’ for us
In the city, bright city of gold.
Use Wuo Loved Hpit.

A Step in the Right Direction.
There. i,s 'much being said in
regard to the prohibition move¬
ment in this epuntry.
But the writer takes the posi¬
tion to'say It Is a Step in the
Right Direction. That it is far
reaching in it’s significance.
It seems that Public sentiment
is about to break forth with a
great fuVeO, and when it does the
manufacture and sale of whiskey
in this country is doomed.
Georgia already ranks fore-'
most in many respects and now
it seems that she has laid the
corner stone of another great
building which it is hoped Will
cover the. United States of
America
Let us not reckon witli this
question as one that will hurt
some material interest in the
state. *
But remember that the true
Georgian counts the peace of the
home worth more than the dol
lai f .
We admit that.there are some
wiio stand ready to advise us,
and say that the prohibition law
will hurt the state in a financial
way. But they should remem¬
ber that the prohibition move¬
ment is backed by the wisest
people of our country. It is
plead for by the Christian fathers
and mothers of our country, and
all true lovers of American
Liberty.
We are inclined to think that
the issue is too great to be con¬
fined to the 8tato of Georgia
alone. But that it will become
an issue from the Atlantic £6 the
Pacific; and from the Gulf to
Canada.
Yours for peace and morality,
J. H. Spears.
