Georgia senators and representa
tives in congress are among the
best, being apt aud able. They are
important factors in advocating cor
rect legislation and in upholding
true democratic principle.

Charles Francis Adams of Bos
ton, Mass., proposes a constitutional
amendment that will utilize the
statesmanship of ex-presidents by
making them U. S. senators at large
for life. This sounds very much like
a pension proposition.
The celebrated “Wesley Oak” in
Savannah was cut down last week

1735, when the Savannah colony

Mu. W. W. Wriglv, for 87 years
cashier of the First National Bank
of Macon, died at his home in that
city lust Thursday afternoon. He
was bom in Maoon in October 1811,
was most highly esteemed, and was
the oldest bank cashier, in point of
continual service, in the United
States.
Judge Griggs, of the Georgia del
egation in congress, has been chosen
chairman of the congressional cam
paign committee. A better selection
could n it have been made. What
Judge Griggs knows about practical
polities is a plenty, and his energy
and wisdom in execution are equal
lo his knowldge.
President Roosbyelt is praoticing
politics with the purpose in view of
becoming the next republican nomi
nee for president. Other prominent
republicans are doing the eame
thing in behalf of Senator Hanna.
Democracy will be admirably served
should this difference in republican
desire become fiercely factional.
The bill to grant government sub
sidy to American-built ships passed
the senate last week, but several re
publican seators voted with the dem
ocrats against the measure. The t6-
tal annual subsidy cannot exceed
$8,000,000, to be paid at a fixed
rate per mile traveled for such ships
only that carry mails between the
United States and foreign countries.
In a court at Havana O. F. Mc-
Neely, W. H. Reeves and E. G.
Rathbone, formerly postoffice offi
cials in Cuba, have been convicted
of embezzlement and sentenced to
ten years imprisonment each, and to
pay fines respectively of $56,701,
$35,516 and $35,324, If all other
embezzlers were treated likewise, the
crime of stealing under that name
would be abolished.
Presbyterian High School.
' At the fall meeting of the Presby
tery of Macon, held in Columbus, the
| following resolution, touching the es-
j tablishment of a high school within
j the bounds of Presbytery, was unan
imously adopted:
“Resolved by the Presbytery of
Macon: That a committee of five be
appointed whose duty it will be to
look into the advisability of estab
lishing a school for the education of
boys aud girls within the bounds of
the Presbytery and under control of
the same.
“That this committee be further
authorized and directed to confer
with individuals and communities
relative to any financial support that
might be given for the location of
said school in their respective com-
rounties and report at next meeting
of Presbytery at Cuthbert.”
The matter was referred to the
following committee: Revs. L. G.
Henderson, Americus; E. D. McDou-
gall, Thomasville; R. W. Alexander,
Dublin; K. L. Mclver, Climax, and
H. G. Griswold, Quitman.
The establishment of such a school
contemplates the moral as well as the
financial support of Presbytery, and
its location would be helpful to any
people. Should this or any other
community desire its location, it
would be well to communicate with
any of the above named committee
at once, as the plan will begin to as
sume definite shape April 9th at
the spring meeting of Presbytery in
Cuthbert.

—Despite the fact that the
crops of 1901 were far from satis
factory, especially the corn crop
in its yield, and the cotton crop
in the price obtained, Houston
farmers are not complaining
much. Taking into consideration
the unfavorable conditions of the
weather, the injury to the grain
crops and the consequent addi
tional work of planting oats the
second time, the amount of pre
paratory plowing done is excep
tionally large. We are told that
the preparation for planting is
unusually thorough, and wo know
that the farmers are displaying
much energy and they express
their determination to plant lib
erally in food and provender
crops.

—Beyond doubt the Houston
county fair at Perry last fall was
a success in every sense of the
word, though the volume of ex
hibits was not as largo as could
easily have been. At the conclu
sion of the fair it was understood
that there would be another next
fall, and there wore declarations
of cordial co-operations from pro
gressive farmers of all sections of
the county. Despite these favor
able omens, no positive step has
been taken in the direction of a
fair next fall. The start cannot
be made too soon.

Gen. Miles, technically command
er-in-chief of the United States ar
my, is figuratively “under contempt”
with the war department and the
administration. Recently before a
congressional committee he severely
criticised the proposed bill to re-or
ganize the army, placing a “general
staff” in command. This was an
offense to the powers that have so
long offensively treated Gen. Miles,
and it is quite probable that the
Lieutenant-General will be “allowed
to resign.”'
H. Clay Evans, United States
Pension Commissioner, will, resign
that office under pressure. His prac
tical removel is the work of the
Grand Army of the Republic, be
cause of contention against granting
pensions to unworthy and fraudu
lent applicants. President Roosevelt
has promised Evans something bet
ter, say the correspondents, and it
is suggested that he may succeed
Hitchcock as Secretary of the Inte
rior.
Except the tenth district, con
gressional politics in Georgia is ex
ceedingly quiet. In that district Mr.
Fleming is opposed by Mr. Hard-
wiok of Wilkes county, and newspa
per articles have been plentiful. In
figuring on the result, the McDuffie
Journal gives Hardwick 5 counties
with 12 votes, Fleming 3 counties
with 10 votes, leaving 3 counties
with j.6 votes doubtful; enough of
the doubtful claimed for Hardwick.

Gborgia editors will be guests of
the Charleston expositionf he 18th of
Union Academy Library.
We, the teacher and pupils of
|Jnioh Academy, are so elated at
our success in establishing a small
library for our school, until we beg
of you space in your, valuable paper
to let the public know about it and
to thank each and every one who so
kindly gave us financial aid. We
desire to especially thank those who
donated so generously, yet are not,
in any way, connected with the
school, among whom are Messrs,
Edwards, Hnrst, Cooper, Dancan,
Cater, W. A. and M. E. Woodard,
Dennard, Sandefur and Heard. We
thank you, gentlemen, for your gen
erosity, and we will strive to be ben-
efitted by the books of our library,
which consists of 44 volumes, adapt
ed to primary and intermediate
grades.
We have also organized the Un
ion Reading Club in our school, and
will have exercises semi-monthly, to
Which the public is cordially invited.
If the pupils of our school will
take the interest in our library and
club that our teacher has, they will
doubtless prove beneficial, for he is
deeply enthused in his work.

Letter to Mr. J. R. Miller,
Perry, ,Ga.
Dear Sir: A man once advertised
that he’d send 25 useful articles for
25 cents, and every victim got 25
pins. Smart but shady; ought to
have gone to jail. Our standing and
capital (you can get them'from your
bank or mercantile agency) makes
this letter’ to you. non-offensive, and
guarantees your consideration, or
that of any other property owner of
your place, for our offer of “free
paint.” Furnish us measurement of
house to be painted, and we’ll tell
you how many gallons L. & M.
Paint we can donate, and Bend you
superb color schemes. We do it to
secure sample houses covered with
our paint, for such houses enable us
to establish an agency quickly. Been
making this paint iff) years; sold
enough to put a girdle of paint
around the world a number of
times; covers better and lasts longer
than white lead; you thin it with
oil; over 3,500 L. & M. agencies in
the United States. It pays to in
quire. Truly yours,
Longman & Martinez,
Paint Makers,
