This is absurd,especially in this < ase.for the community of Millen is far in advance of the average: besides, ‘The News” will not be “strictly local,” but will be read almost everywhere. Already Millen is the metropolis of the four largest counties in the state, situated in the center of the territory ♦bus composed her influence extends not only over the “big fours.” but in many other sections of Eastern Geor gia. The News will not only be the tribune in this territory, but will be a chronicler for the people throughout Georgia, and other parts of the union, in whatever undertaking, every com munity is entitled to the very best tal ent, more especially fn an enterprise of this character, and to this end, I have always contended, as in other professions, there should be a qualifi cation for journalism, placing such re strictions upon the craft as will pro tect the people from inefficiency and men of selfish motives. But since it is, that ail who will, may try a hand at the highest of professions. The read ers of The Millen News should over look editorial shortcomings until tal ents commensurate, can be supplied; till then, what I can, I will. Respectfully, ALFRED HERRINGTON. To the People of Millen: As assistant editor of The News, it shall tie my constant aim to bring the paper up to the highest point possible and to always keep in view the interest of onr city and this community. The paper is now an assured thing, and with the proper encouragement and patronage from the people of this immediate vicinity, we can make it a safe and lasting enterprise. it is needless to add, without this, we can not hope to survive. Respectfully, A. 8. ANDERSON, Assistant Editor. '• ' ( MILLEN. Where is Millen? This exceedingly ] easy answered question may some times be asked by the obtuse and un informed. But hereafter Millen's light •will not be under a bushel, nor will her mme be uttered in whispers, but the glare nd her. BUbkissed spires : knowing her never before, will in the । glorious light of .her achievements । emphasise her true greatness, and ' echo to the mountain tops the splendor . of her name. Enchanted by the music ; of whirring spindles and humming ma- < , chinery the wage-earners and home seekers, of remotest regions, will offer at her shrine the highest endeavor i and the fullest measure of domestic i ■ tranquility. And over all the capital- : * ists and men of means will be wont to i j gild with the yellow of their garnered i sheaves, and empty into her coffers i ■ glittering coin from their “horns of 1 plenty.” • It is Impossible, in one short edito- I r rial, to do justice to this subject, be- ' sides, it would hardly be the thing to j publish, if we could, all at one time. < Here in the counties of Screven and 1 Burk, within three miles of Bulloch i and Emanuel, 79 miles from Savannah i and 54 miles from Augusta where the 1 Millen and Southwestern railroad and 1 the Augusta branch of the Central of 1 Georgia railway intersect the main < stem of the Central of Georgia rail way and a navigable stream, the Ogee- t chee, near by, has for many years been an embryo city. In some unaccount able and mysterious manner, Millen 1 ' has never been allowed to assert her- * self, though nature, all the while smil- ’ ing upon her, and with outstretched 1 hands beckoning her to rise, yet like f a sleeping giant, all unconscious of his strength, helfl down only by a mouse, Millen has slumbered out generations of golden opportunities and hearkened i not unto sweet nature’s wooings; and ' now with her garlands of cypress^ oak, ( ' pine, bediamond with white hickory, J the ash an^ sweetgum, and perfumed j with the ordorous breath of the mag- t | roll a bloom, the honeysuckles and cot- 1 I ton blossoms, and refreshed with trans [ parent gushers from unfathomable ' I depths, bids M“ien rise and be crown- j |ed queen of cities. But more than na- ( Stures is reouired to build cities which ■ MUUu^^iteady has. Her merchants are . of that character of men who know no turn back when they have found out ' the thing to do and how to do it. They have at last realized the requisites of . city building. Already they have, run ning on full time, one of the best mod- s era cotton mills, and are now putting ■ forth every effort to build a cotton V She is the proud possessor of one of the finest school buildings in east Georgia, and in-the near future, such enterprises as tanneries, harness and saddle factories will be started, and since the wood Is right at hand, the oak and hickory of Ogeechee swamp will be utilized for the manufacture of 1 all such articles as are made from hardwood material. ’ . BRICK. 1 A brickyard is one of the talked of enterprises. It is not everywhere that that the proper kind of clay for making brick can be found, but the very best is right here. Now we will end this article as we propose to have some thing to say on this line in every issue of this papev. NOT ALL FOR MILLEN. True The Millen News is published in Milen and is Millen's paper, but ( it is the intention of the management to give Waynesboro, Statesboro, Swainsboro and Sylvania, each, a cer tain amount-of space to be edited by 1 Seme person, hereafter to be contract- 1 ed with. In this Way we propose to carry nearly or quite all the news of ] each one of the four counties that may j be found in their local papers. We 1 will also carry in a condensed form the legal advertisements of those counties. , This may sound like horn-blowing, to the fellow on the outside,but men back of this enterprise propose to carry this purpose out to a finish. In this, our first paper, we cannot get in every thing that we would like to, but what - we tall in giving you the news, in the start, we hope to make up as we go along. We will try to make steam as we run. RAILROADS WORSE THAN OR GANIZED ASSASSINS. . Hundreds of people are daily being hurled into eternity by the wrecking of railroad trains. The tragedies of storms, floods and volcanoes are but • light comedy compared to the hor rors of modern train wrecking. Every man takes his life in his own hands when he buys a railroad ticket over any of the trunk lines. There is some thing wrong somewhere, and badly wrong, and should be investigated, which if not properly looked after, the human race will soon be annihilated. | Shall an unsuspecting public continue sharks, in their greed for >b!d, are dally committing cold-bloodeAmurder? The appellation, “Organizedyed-hand ed assassins," is too tame fo«the soul less corporations that, in egery con ceivable manner, are daily jßding to the ranks of bereavement, ifeery and want. Well do we know th® our pen scratching amounts to ever^less than the gnat on that big animdj’s horn; for the personale of these colorations are owners not alone of tha property and franchises they operatajbut they are thy roud possessors, or we should have said, the unfortunate possessors of the law making power thaj licenses them to kill people with impunity. They own police forces, sheriffs, judges, solicitor generals add consid erable, stock in grand jurors. They have intimidated the forum and sen ate; they control GOVERNORS of great states, and, worse si UI, they have subsidized the press, throttled the voice of the people and placed their hands on the throats and pockets of the country. What shkll be done? There is nothing left but for a fellow to walk, just walk or stay at home. Arrangements have "been made with Dr. J. R. Warren of^tillmore, to edit the Stillmore depy_ment of this paper, and with Prof, yorge E. Usher for the twin cities ofjGraynaont and Summit. GARFIELD. The little city of Garfield is in Eman uel county on the Millen and South western railroad, fifteen spies from Millen and seventeen Jies from Stillmore. The eastern part lies la the 1429 G. M. D., the western part is in the 1333 G. M. D. Garfield has six stores, a good school and a fine farming section to back It up. Mr. C. R. Gay will soon have his large ginnery completed for the pres ent cotton crop. He will have a 50- horse power engine and 60-horse pow er press. Master James Grimes, son of Mr. Jerry Grimes, was interred at Hebron -emetery Thursday last. Rev, W. J. Brown conducted the funeral* ceremo nies. Mrs. A. S.

The school census of Gainesville was completed a day or two ago.- In cidentally a general census was also taken. The population of the town, exclu sive of the mill towns contiguous, is 6,900. The number of children of pub lic school age is 1,554. « • • Charged With Burning Store. The store house of D. W. Brown, in Dawson, was destroyed by fire Friday night, and the owner was arrested on the charge of arson. Mr. Brown has $1,250 insurance, and it is claimed by the prosecution, who says it has strong evidence, that tne building was fired for the insurance. . The defense claims that it will be able to establish an alibi. • • • Governor Wanted in Savannah. An invitation will be extended Gov ernor Terrell and his staff to visit Savannah July 24th and review the First regiment cavalry, Georgia state troops, which will be in camp there then, and the twelve local companies. The four companies from the garri son at Fort Screven, it is expected, will also appear. If they accept the governor and his colonels will be the guests of the First cavalry. « • t. Rural Mail Carriers Organize. The men* who ride through wind and rain and sunshine, fair weather and foul, to deliver the mail to farmers, far and wide, through the country, met In Atlanta Saturday morning and band ed themselves together in an organ!- ’ zation known as the Association of Ru ral Letter Carriers of Georgia. There were more than one hundred of these men present at the meeting, and they were full of enthusiasm for the movement on foot and theirs was one of the most hearty celebrations of the Fourth held in Atlanta. • • • Governor Sends Message. The opening of the Pacific cable of the Commercial Pacific Cable Compa- I ny on the Fourth was given an “Atlan ta end” when Governor Terrell sent greetings to Judge J. H. Blount, at Manila and a massage of congratula tion to Clarence Mackay, president of the Commercial Cable Company, Com mercial Pacific Cable Company and Postal Telegraph Cable Company. The company which has achieved such remarkable success in opening up direct telegraphic communication with the^hilippine islands, conceived the unique Idea of opening the cable Fourth of July. Every goverbor in the country was scheduled to send a message over the cable, and the opening was conducted from President Roosevelt’s home at Oyster Bay. Io • < i Livingston Denies Charges., Congressman L F. Livingston de ; dares that he had nothing to do with ; the removing of Warden Hawk from ■ the federal prison at Atlanta, and ■ states that the reports which connect ed him with the affair are utterly with ount foundation. “I refused to have anything to do with the matter,” said Congressman Livingston. "The records in the case are in the office of the attorney gen eral at Washington, and anybody who wants to find out about the matter can do so there.” Congressman Livingston states that he had heard that he had been charg ed with being at the bottom of the whole matter, and he wants the peo ple to know that he had no connection whatever with the charges which were made. •» • • Judge Janes Wants Damages. A damage suit that is likely to prove the political sensation of the season, has been filed in Atlanta by Charles G, Janes, former judge of the Talla poost circuit superior court. . This suit charges that Judge Janes has been falsely and libelously accus । ed of corruption and fraud in the con duct of his former office, and on this charge he asks $50,000 damages from j a large number of FuTfon, Douglas and Carroll county citizens. The alleged defamation of the good name and character of Judge Janes, according to the petition filed, was the result of a ruling in a contested elec tion case made by the judge just prior to the expiration of his term of office, j January 1, 1903. The election which was in dispute I was hold in the county of Douglas, and | involved most all the county officers. । .... i A meeting of*the ^enTd^ign^ed by the governors of the southern states to eo-operate with General Ains worth, chief of record and pension of fice In securing complete rosters of the officers aad enlisted men who partici pated in the civil war, will be held in the office of the state library, in Ab lanta, on the morning of July 20. Considerable importance is attached to the work ot aiding in obtaining an accurate reeler of the officers and men in both armies, and it is expected that the meeting will be largely a't tended. Many of the records have been destroyed and every effort will be made to put in the hands of the sec j rotary of state records that will be ab- I in every detAil. — by B. F. Dixon, state auditor of North Carolina; Thomas M. Owens, director department Archives and history, Ala bama, a^d Allen D. Candler, compiler of state records, Georgia. V » . Tech Trustees After Broughton. Rev. Len G. Broughton appeared be fore the committee of trustees of the Technological school at Atlanta and formally made his charges in regard to that institution. There was present, besides Dr. Broughton and Captain Lyman Hail, president of the school, the commit tee, composed of Captain W. B. Miles, chairman; George Winship, William Kelly and Colonel N. E. Harris, chair man of the board of trustees. Dr. Broughton had reduced what he had to say in writing and read this paper to the committee. The meet Ing was executive and no one o-hei than those immediately concerned were admitted. Neither Dr. Broughton nor any of the committee would say what had been done, but the members of the committee, from their manner did not appear to have been very deeply impressed by the statements oi Dr. Broughton. Colonel Harris said: “We have de elded for the present not to make any statement other than that an investi gation will be made at once. We think it for the best interests of the school and of all concerned not to talk now.” • * • To Double Tax Western Union. Comptroller General Wright has put an assessment of $520,294 on the franchise of the Western Union Tele graph Company in Georgia, and on that amount he will require the com pany to pay double tax for falling tc make a return of its franchise for tax ation, as required by the law. The Western Union made no return of its franchise, though the comptrol ler general called the company’s at tention to that feature of the law which makes the penalty for failure s' double tax. It appears the failure oi the company to make any return of its franchise was based on the ground that its poles and lines are all located along the rights of ways of railroads and no condemnation or private prop erty was necessary for the purpose of placing them. Attorney General John C. Hart, how ever, holds differently, and says thaf the company is liable for a franchise tax. Under the decision of the comp trailer general, based on the opinion of the attorney general, the Western Union will, therefore, have to pay taxes on a $1,040,588 franchise tax value. The question will, of course be submitted to arbitration. ♦ . * • Brown Has Opposite View. Hon. J. Pope Brown, of the railroad commission, has filed a dissenting opinion in the case of the Atlanta and.! from that presented in the recent or der signed by Chairman Spencer R Atkinson and Hon. G. Gunby Jordan. This order, as will be remembered allowed the West Point to edntinns the present rates, or 10 per cent on certain classes in addition to the standard tariff, for one year, or untH April 1, next. Mr. Brown contends that the former rates should have been restored and that the road should have been allowed to charge only the standard tariff with out additional percentage. In other words, Mr. Brown takes the view of the case as presented by the people oi LaGrange, West Point and other places along the line. He does not think the reasons presented to the commission for increasing the rates "ood cues. FOUR SHOT IN PISTOL DUEL. Sheriff Attemps to Arrest Young Man and Regular Fusilade Ensues. One dead and three perhaps fatally injured is. the result of a due) with re volvers which took place at Steelville, Mo., Satu-day afternoon between Sher iff W. R. Tass, his deputy, Perry Ives, Deputy Marshal John Woods and Rob ert Starks, a farmer, and his son, Hirschel, aged 23. Robert Starks was shot through the heart, death resulting Instantly^ W. R. Tass, the sheriff, was shot through the stomach and will die. Hirschel Starks was fatally shot and Perry Ives, deputy sheriff, was shot in the mouth and leg. His condition is critical. The trouole originated In the re filial of young Starks to submit to ar rest. He -was charged with having offended the daughter of Benjamin Ogles, a wealthy farmer, who filed complaint against him. When Sheriff Tass approached Starks warned him away, saying there would be trouble if he attempted to take him into cus tody. PICNIC AT MILL2N CLUB HOUSE. Quite a number of Millen's young people enjoyed themselves last Tues day with a picnic at the club house on the Ogechee about four miles below the city. A basket dinner was spread at noon and in the same spirit that the.young ladies had so lavishly prepared, every body did eat thereof and were happy. STERNBERG OFFICIALLY NAMED. — Baron is Appointed German Amba»M dor to United States.

Samuel's introductory discourse (vs. I 17-19). 17. “Samuel.” In this lesson the I prophet-judge appears in a unique attitude, as one who assists in the revolution which is to take from himself the supreme power I and bestow it upon another. What un- I selfish and noble conduct! Though evi- I dently much pained, yet, at the command . I of God, he sank all personal feelings and I set himself to the work of finding the beat ] man for a king. And after Saul was chosen I Samuel proved bis best and most faithful I friend and adviser. Most men would have wished the experiment to fail: Samuel did I his best to make it successful. "Called I the people.” The assembly was evidently I partly representative, made up of elaera g and heads of tribes; and partly popular, I many of the people being present, en- j I camped, and to some extent armed. “Unto • I the Ix>rd.” This expression does not neces- I sarily imply that the ark was present. I Samuel publicly invokes the Divine pres- I ence and blessing and lias everything done I as in the presence of Jehovah. “To Mix- ' 1 peh.” The location is uncertain, but ia I supposed to be a high hill not far from I Ramah, Samuel’s home. Several other im- 1 portant meetings were held at Mizpeh. fl 18. “And said." Samuel first points out g to the assembled people that Jehovah had ■ always done for them the verv thing for fl which they desired a king. lie had de- I livered them from all kingdoms that had M oppressed them. 'But this deliverance had I been made to depend u,.on their own con- ■ duet ; they were always required to repent I of sin and purge the land from idolatry ■ before victory could be theirs. What I they wanted now was national independ ence, freed from this Condition, undue- I cured by an organization of their military 8 resources. Samuel’s discourse sets before them in a vigorous style the mighty deeds J which God had done for them. 19. “Rejected.” Samuel charged them if with ingratitude and unfaithfulness. a« jj expressed in the demand for a king. God, 3 in the character of a king, had governed the Israelites for 400 years. He ruled on terms which He Himself, through the agency of Moses, had proposed to them, viz., that if they observed their allegiance if to Him, they should be prosperous; if not adversity and misery should be the con sequence. We learn from the whole book of Judges, and from the first eight chap ters of Samuel, how exactly the result, from Joshua to Samuel, agreed with these conditions. God had always faithfully kept the promises made them. “Set a king.” Their fault consisted not in the simple desire for a king, but in the con tempt they manifested for Jehovah. They sig were not satisfied with God, but desired « a visible king, clothed in purple robes, with his guards and officers, who should rule with great pomp like the nations ■ around them. “Present yourselves.” Ar- g range yourselves in systematic order for H the casting of the lot. “By your tribes.” S Represented by twelve princes. “Your thousands.” This means the same as fam- B ilies. The number of heads of houses in the several families of a tribe might easily Jg reaph a thousand. Samuel knew the peer- B i ishness of that people, and that there were i® those who would not be satisfied with the choice, if it depended on his single testi mony, but by thie method the peop’o would! see that God had appointed Saul, for “the' WJ disposal of the lot was with the Lord.” B This would prevent disputes. S 3 11. Saul chosen king (vs. 20. 21). 20. 21. “Benjamin was taken.” We are not | : told expressly by what process the selec- B ! tibn was made, but it was probably hy ■ I cision, imfns a legitimate method of aseer- B 1 taining the Divine will. The lot among B the tribes fell on the tribe of Benjamin B i which was the smallest aof the tribes, I “Family of Matri.” The heads of the’tribe H !of Benjamin next appeared and the family B of Matri was taken. The successive steps \ B are then passed over. Ar last Saul of the B household of Kish was taken. “Could not I be found.” "He withdrew in hopes they ■ would proceed to a new election. We may Its suppose that at this time he was reaby ■ averse to taking unon himself the govern ment,.because, 1. He was conscious of un- ■ fitness for so great a trust. 2. It would expose him to the envy of his neighbors. ® 3. He understood that the peome bad ;ja sinned in asking a king. 4. The affairs 01 ■ Israel were at this time in a bad coudv ■ tion.” . B 111. Saul declared king (vs. 22-27). 22, ■ 23. “Is there yet a man.'’ They inquired,, ■ whether Saul was present or was to b* ■ sought for elsewhere. “Among the stuff, fl The baggage which was usually plaMd’W |g the centre of the camp. “Ran, etc. Inere appears to be have been much haste Rfto 4 excitement. “Higher than any.” Saul wav ■ tall and commanding in person.
