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 to make way for a street car track. It is said John Wesley preached be neath the branches of this oak in 1735, when the Savannah colony was beiug established. Mac >n produce dealers say the de mand for Georgia wheat, peanuts and lmy is much greater than the supply. These same merchants cor rectly declare that our farmers could profitably supply these products to the trade if they would. • - — • 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. * c + —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. *-•-* .

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. School. Letter to Mr. J.
