It may seem strange to judge people bv the public highways, but from time immemorial such has been the case. Milledgeville is just beginning to emerge from its place of stagnation and the era of progress is here, There is no do-bt but permanent improvement will be made on some of the streets and after the work is once started the citizens will never rest until the whole city is beautified with elegant streets and driveways. The grass is beginning to grow groen along the highways, the lawns are showing.lhe approach of the spring time and with good streets and the goo 1 roads that Baldwin county now possesses there is no naiou why Milledgeville and this section not rank right up to the front in tnis respect. Mayor Bell, a majority of the councilmen, and the people, are in favor of permanent improvement if it is possible to do it within the bounds of reason, and it is easily possible. Let the work of paving the streets with such material as is available once get under way and the rest will be easy. Milledgeville will not stop at this, for better sidewalks will be laid and then property will increase in value rapidly until everybody everywhere in the city will be ready to co-op erate In the work.

This is a free country an*l every man is privileged to do his own sweet will, but everybody interested in material progress, who Is willing to work for the up building of his community, will readily aid any movement tending toward* the ends epumcrated. There are circumstances surrounding [certain actions on the parlof’ individuals which excuses them from entioism nr Censure, but taken as as wfiole when it comes to trading at home no one is exempt from dyty. Milledgeville is a growing city, a live place, it needs live citizens, live methods on the part of the people. Herein this city may be found some un paralleled opportunities for doing your trading.

Stevens Thinks the Peach Crop Will be Profitable Famous Grower Fears Damage on Account of Late Coir 1 , But Pro spects are For Splendid Returns. W. W. Stevens, one of the best known peach men in the state, was a visitor in Milledgeville Thursday and stated that growers were very appre- henaiye on account of the continued warm weather. In some instances peach bud* are beginning to swell and indications point to blooming unless the tendency is checked soon. Mr. Stevens has just finished work in his orchard and states that he expects great things from the Georgia peach growers exchange this season and is therefore particularly anxious to see a good crop. He attended the Taft banquet in Au gusta Wednesday night and stated that the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the oc casion, which while formal was full of congeniality and good fellowship pleas- aatly expressed. * "Nothing Aks q I11 to so delicate a poise fcg character.

THE CHURCH AND THE STATE Since the time when Martin Luther promulgated his famous doctrine which revolutionized the political and religious world, there has been considerable argu ment concerning church und state. The scope of the ground covered, the won derful possibilities surroanding ‘he subject, makes it one of colossal magnitude. During the recent presidential campaign when William Howard Tatt, now presi dent-elect of the United States, was a candidate for tho highest office in the gift of the country, the party leadersjwere wise enough to keep dawn the subject of religion in reference to the candidate's, particular belief. Since that time the public have been informed that the matter of religion does not and should not figure in politics. Tnat is Mr. Roosevelt's statement, echoed by thousands of others, but it is only the repitition of Martin Luther's idea that church and state should be separated. Ordinarily this subject would be a dry one, thoroughly threshed out, but last Monday morning the Methodist ministers of Atlanta met and discussed the proposition of ministers interfering in civic matters. There was some discus sion on the subject, some declaring that they should light openly for law and order and the enactment of laws which would serve to upbuild Ih® nation. In Milledgeville quite recently there was some dissension surrounding a question in which the leading citizens—the good people—and the ministers took part. Even a few church people declared that the church should stay out of the controversy and allow tho city council to settle all civic matters. These three things —the president’s religion, the ministeis’ action and the local matter—may serve to put some people to Blinking. But the church -not one, but all o: them-the parties. — republican, democrat and all—are united in pushing forward such movements as will foster the highest and noblest things in life and whether it has an especial signifance or not it seems that all forces are uniting to bring about the day when the lion shall lie down with the lamb and the sword will be made into a plowshare.
