The gratifying indications pointing toward unity in th j next municipal
campaign for Milledgeville means much for the progress of the city. It is a
condition of affairs deplorable even in large cities when a hot contest is
waged lor local offices and it becomes more detrimental to progress when
<uch is tnc case in a city of this size. Co-operation is the watchword of to-
lay and it h the source Irom which all advancement must spring. Day by
lay city and country, slate and nation, are getting nearer to the place where
.•ach understands the great truth written in the Hook of Truth that
nan cannot stand alone What is true ofjindividuals is true of communities.
it is not an established fact, as we understand it, but it seems that the
public—the men who do things here—are firmly convinced tnat Mayor
Miller S. Ilell will have no opposition in the next election, which occurs
sometimes this fill. Toe same is probibly true o( the alderminic board.
There may be a few changes in the baard but it will probably be caused by
some of the present members declining to be candidates again. The wonder
ful progress of the city during the past year, the unfiltering attention to pub
lic aflairs by Mayor Hell, by Clerk Steinbridge, by the whole board of
aldermen, has won admiration from all, for many of these men have sacuhced
personal interest frequently to serve the public.
It is a rnattej of much pleasure to know that busy men arc willing to
devote their time and energy to the advancement of the city and in this con
ncctinn it is doubtful if Milledgeville ever in all its history had such an un
selfish and untiring set ol public workers in office as at the present time.
We are in lavor of not only eliminating unnecessary contests blit also ot
allowing a good man to demonstrate to the citizens ot Milledgeville just what
can be accomplished by devoting some study to modern municipal govern
ment. Mayor Bell's position on the leading queslions confronting the
municipality has been repeatedly commended by The News directly and in-
diiectly. Mayor Hell is working hard to give us the best streets possible, he
has labored in the cause of good water, the greatest of all blessings, and
consequently within a comparatively short time he has won admiration and
support fmm us, for, without any egotism do we say it. we are acquainted
quite intimately with the intricate problems confronting him and the manner
in which he handles them makes him deserving of the highest commen
dation.

Presbyterian bodies throughout the
world are this year celebrating the four-
humlreth anniversary of Calvin's birth
in exercises commemorative of his life
and character. John Calvin was one of
the few master- spirits in this world s
history. No man has left a more last
ing imprint upon the institutions of
Anglo-Saxon people. These world-wide
celebrations in his honor signalize the
debt) vhich Christian civilizatian owes to
his genius.
The undresses before Presbytery
were all of an exceptionally high char-1
