Houston could easily gain the

There was a slight advance in the

Tlie Expansion Idea.
The peace-loving man who reads
and thinks cannot stop short of the
conclusion that in adopting the pol
icy of territorial expansion, the gov
ernment of the United States is
sowing the wind, and must inevita
bly reap the whirlwind. In the de
sire for the aggrandizement of this
government, file increase of territo
ry and the extension of commerce
under our control, the United States
is departing from the fundamental
principles of the constitution. The
conditions are being formed that
will inevitably bring about entang
ling alliances with other nations that
will rob this country of the distinct
ive features that have made it the
best government on the globe.
But we desire to call attention to
the fact that the same policy of ex
pansion adopted and practiced by an
individual will produce a like result.
We do not mean that there should
not be co-operation among men, but
that the desire for expansion should
not be allowed to the extent that it
becomes greed for accumulation-
an inordinate desire for gain. Ava
rice will surely overreach itself.
Though business expansion may be
attained, and wealth secured, the
loss of contentment and the accu
mulation of sordidness will make the
change bare of happiness.
Expansion on this line leads to
and fosters extravagance, and ex
travagance breeds many ills that are 1
antagonistic to truth, honor, love
and charity.

Corn and Pork and Beef.
We reproduce and endorse the fol
lowing from the Macon Telegraph:
“It is not too late to pitch the
crop a little more to comward, if we
ma3 r be allowed to coin a word.
“The spring boost to cotton—the
same old game to make the farmers
plant a big crop—comes on schedule
time. Will the farmers bite at the
naked hook again?
“Farmers of the West who have
had com to bum for fuel have
grown rich raising beef and pork to
sell to the cotton planters of the
south. This is neither a joke nor a.
fiction. It is a fact. Some of this
wealth can be transferred to the
south by raising our own grain and
pork and beef. In our own towns
and cities ‘western beef’ commands
from three to five cents a pound
more than Georgia beef. Why is
this? Let the Georgia farmers an
swer.”
lau Maclareu’s New Work.
Ian Maclaren, who is now on a
lecturing tour in this country, be
gins in an early issue of The Ladies’
Home Journal his latest piece of lit
erary work. It is a series of popular
articles in which he defines the rela
tion that a minister holds to his
congregation; how a preacher is
helped by his people; how a congre
gation can make the most of a min
ister, and other phases of the most
satisfactory attitude of a congrega
tion to- a pastor.
—Mr. Clifford P. Byrd was mar
ried at Fort Valley on Wednesday
of last week to Miss Lottie McCra
ry, Rev. J. F. Blackburn officiating.
The groom is k younger brother of
Mr. Henry L. Byrd, superintendent
of the Houston county chaingang,
and is the enterprising proprietor of
the Fort Valley Dairy Farm. The
bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.
J. B. McCrary, of Fort Valley. The
friends of the happy couple extend
cordial congratulations and best
wishes.
Hon. W. C. Dodson, of Americus,
president of the Georgia Senate, is
said to be preparing himself to suc
ceed Hon. E. B. Lewis as Represen
tative of the third congressional dis
trict. As he is a brother-in-law of
Mr. Lewis, the truth of this rumor
would mean that our present con
gressman will not offer for re-elec
tion. However, we put Mr: Dodson
on notice that he will have most
vigorous opposition in this and oth
er parts of the district.
In the inter-collegiate debate last
week between two representatives
each of the Georgia and North Car
olina Universities, the North Caroli
nians .were declared victors. The
Georgians were on the affirmative
side of the resolution that “United
States senators should be elected by
direct vote of the people.” We hope
this will not affect the actual settle
ment of that question.
There are 2,500 government
horses and mules in Central City
Park, Macon, Ga. It has been re
ported several times that these ani
mals would be sold at auction, but
the officer in charge says he does not
know when they will be sold, If at
all. The horses and mules that are
unfit for government use will be
condemned and sold, but it is said
there are very few such. The num
ber of stock in the corral is being
increased almost daily.
Ambassador Choate has made an
exceedingly favorable impression up
on the English officials and people
in London. At a public function
one evening last week he was the
principal speaker, and all the news
papers speak of the speech in very
complimentary terms. It is believed
he will prove a potent factor in pro
moting Anglo-Saxon unity.
Ex-Senator Walsh, of Augusta, is
dead. For many years Mr. Walsh
was editor of the Augusta Constitu
tionalist, and occupied that position
when stricken with his last illness.
He was by force of character and
merit in the front of all affairs of
public interest, and was one of the
purest as well as one of the ablest
public men in the state.
The rain that was very much
needed came to the good farmers
around the Ford on last Saturday
night, and it did a great deal of
good; but we fear the com that had
been planted will not come up, oh
account of the top of the ground be
ing so tightly packed.
The Honston chaingang is now at
work between Henderson and Elko.
Superintendent Byrd will certainly
give us a good road, for he never
leaves a road until he has made a
good one. We are glad to have Mr.
Byrd in our part of the county, for
his presence is much needed on
some roads here.
We had singing at the Ford on
Sunday last under the leadership of
Messrs. A. E. Lockerman and A. W.
Blankinship. They are both good
singers, and we enjoyed the singing
very much.
We understand through the“dram-
mer” that the depot building at Vi
enna was struck by lightning Satur
day night last and burned to the
ground.
. Mr. J. H. Haddock caught an eel
on a set hook one night last week
that weighed five pounds, and on
closely examining the fish found
four extra hooks in its mouth. Mr.
Haddock gave the fish to one of the
negroes on his place, and it lasted
the negro and his family three days.

Peaches in Houslou.
We clip the following item from
the Macon Telegraph of last Sun
day:
“Down the Georgia Southern
railroad, in Houston county, are
quite a Dumber of peach farms.
One of considerable importance is
at Tivola. A very short distance
from there is another known as
Oak Ridge. Reports have been
received from the manager of the
two farms to the effect that a very
large percentage of the fruit on
the Tivola farm will be lost, but
that on Oak Ridge will not fall off
much in yield. Most of the trees
on the ridge are seedlings, and it
is said that some of the trees grown
from seeds are seventy-five years
old and are yet bearing good
fruit.”
The O »k Ridge farm above men
tioned is on that elevated range of
lime land, with stiff red subsoil,
that extends across the county from
east to west, and it is said that
there has never been a complete
failure of the peach crop on thid
“ridge” since the first tree reach
ed bearing age.

Romantic Marriage.
Quite a romantic marriage was
solemnized at Wellston a few Ban-
days ago, in which Judge Babb
Leverett made his debat as a join
er of hands and hearts.
The contracting parties were two
colored friends whom Rev. Dan
Ferguson, a noted divine, of this
place refused to unite on the
grounds that he had married the
lady once last year.
Judge Leverett was not aware
however that she was anght bnt a
single lady,nor would anyone have
imagined so, from the excellent
manner in which he performed the
ceremony,that be was Becond choice
in a sense.
So popular is he with the couples
who contemplate marriage that he
is overrun with applications,
which he graciously grants for 25c
a pair.
Observer.
Senator Bacon in a recent speech
before the Hibernian Society at Sa
vannah said that England is encour
aging the war of the United States
in the east for her own selfish pur
poses. He claims that a sure result
of our expansion policy will place
the United States nnder obligations
to and witiiin the power of England.
Rev. E. Edwards, pastor of the
English Baptist Ghnrch at Miners-

rheumatism, was advised to try
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. He

me. It snbdned the inflamation

sufferer profit by giving Pain
Balm a trial it will please me.” For

Golden Text.—“My sheep hear
My voice, and I know them, and
ithey follow Me.” John 10: 27.
“Other sheep I have, which are
not of this fold.” Nothing less than
the salvation of the world could sat
isfy- the great loving heart of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and nothing less
did He come to save. It was for
this His Father" gave Him.” ”God
so loved the world.”
While Hir special early ministry
was to “the lost sheep of the House
of Israel,” it was not confined to
them. “My sheep hear My voice,”
they gathered around Him on grassy
slope or by crystal lake, and listened
to His actual voice, and “hung up
on” His words. They may hear to
day by the word given to us in the
Gospels.
It was concerning these “other
sheep” -that Paul wrote, “How shall
they hear without a preacher? and
how shall they preach except they
be sent?” Sent, not only by God,
but by the gifts and aid of their
brethren also. See Romans 10:12-
15.
The parting message of Jesus was
explicit, “Go ye into all the world,”
and preach, not “by word only,” but
by kindly, helpful act also; and we
have a saying among us that “ac
tions speak louder than words.”
His life is summed up by one of
His friends in five words, “He went • __ . „„„ .
about doing good,” and by his ene- l-UJiiAL) A X Aixll
mies in three words, “He saved oth- (TIME,
ers. Here large provision exists for
the sick and suffering, as a fruit in
proof of Christianity; but in no non-
Christian land does surgery or med
icine compare with Christian coun
tries.
Mothers expose their children to
the cold rain to “wash away” the.
measles, or scarify and bum them
from head to foot in the vain hope
of relief and cure. The witch doc
tors of Africa “search out” the one
who has caused the sickness or death
of another; and horrible torture and
death await the culprit, as innocent
as we.
When a man or woman goes to
them with medical skill and Chris
tian sympathy, their hearts are soft
ened,and their prejudices melt away,
and the way is opened by the act of
preaching for the word of preaching
also. Thousands of converts and
scores of churches in heathen lands,
are the result of Medical Missions,
where' all other efforts failed to get
even a hearing.
Jesus gave the command, “Heal
the sick and preach the Gospel;’*
and yet His church has been so^very
slow to recognize his meaning, that
while each denomination has its
Theological Seminaries, not all of
them together have yet a Medical
Missionary College. The Interna
tional Medical Missionary Society,
begun in 1881 in New York City,
121 E. 45th street, has sent nearly
150 students into the Foreign field;
but it has no building of its own. A
charter is promised when it has
$50,000 in property or funds. Read
its books, “Murdered Millions,” price
10 cents; and “Tell Them,” price 35
cents; and you will know and do
more than ever before.
“Jesus went about . . . preaching
the Good Tidings of the Kingdom,
and healing all manner of sickness,”
leaving us an example that ye should
follow His steps.
