The Elberton Star has the follow
ing comment on its county news let
ters which can be read with profit
by every other paper's correspon
dents:
“The Star is proud of the marked
improvement in the quality of news
furnished by its correspondents. In
gome instances in'the past, it hus
seemed that the correspondents en
deavored to excel in the number of
items sent in rather than in the news
value of the items sent. We are glad
to see that this plan is passing away,
and that the correspondents are senc
ing in valuable and interesting and
helpful news items. In doing this,
they are helping The Star and help
ing the community in which they re
side.”

A LOVING TRIBUTE.
The passing away of Mr. M. R.
Lyon, removes from Marietta one of
her most beloved, and highly esteem
ed citizens, For 47 years he was a
resident of this city. The people
knew him. His life was transparent.
His deeds were wrougnt 1n the open.
He was known and revered of all
men.
The people loved him. He possess
ed to a marked degree, those attri
butes which men value most. He
was considerate of others, their fee!-
ings, their opinions, their polities,
their religion. He was considerate
of the poor. He was ever first to
discover their need, and quick to sup
ply their wants. Literally hundreds
have felt the touch of his benevolent
hand. “Blessed is he that consider
eth the poor.”
He was sympathetic. He had a
common feeling for others, a sym
pathy that suffered with others. de
had a quiet way of slipping under
the other fellows burdens, and lov
ingly sharing it with him. He was
as tender and affectionate as a wo
man. In all his ministrations he
never left a sting. His presence was
a rebuke to the storm, this gentle
voice spoke peace to the troubled
heart.
And yet he was no weakling. He
was a martyr to his convictions. He
was uncompromising in all ‘great
moral issues that have for their pur
pose the betterment of mankind. He
was strong in character. His was a
quiet, dispassionate strength, the last
to retreat under fire.
God did much for him in grace.
He enriched him with a strong faith
by which he laid hold upon Christ.
He embowed him with a true repen
tance, by which he turned from his
sins, unto God. He was a genial
converted man. The tree of his life
was laden with fruit, this is Gods
own evidence of grace: ‘“‘By their
fruits ye shall know them.” What
a pleasure it is to pen these words
with no regretable thoughts to blot
the page, no darkened shadows in
which ugly suspicions lurk. We are
writing under an open sky, at the
close of a beautiful day, at the going
down of the sun. Let us patiently
wait for the morning. The sun.%
lost awhile, will rise again; his gold- |
en beams will kiss the hills withl
light, and drive the shadows away.

CONGRESSMEN FIGHT
REMOVAL OF WATSON.
(CONTINUED £ROM FRONT PAGE)
insist, all of us, that the Government
in this or any other case can get a
fair trial in Georgia, and that onr
jurors are not controlled by pre
judice, but will determine any caze
by the law and the evidence submit
ted.
If it is objectionable to your Of
fice that the Jdefendant be tried in
the portion of the state in which
he resides, we respecfully submit
that there are other divisions of the
U. S. Court in Georgia where there
is no question but that Justice will
be done both the prosecution and
the defense. If the law permitted
such a case to be transferred to an
other state for trial, it would only
be resorted to for the alleged reason
that a fair trial could not be hali
in the state where the defendant had
performed the act in person. Weo
fecl that it would be an unwarrant
ed reflection upon the people of
Georgia to assume or conclude that
a fair trial could not be secured in
the state.
We conclude that the number of
people living in Georgia who have
represented to you that the Govern
ment cannot get a fair trial the:e
is very limited and certainly ema
nates from those who do not know
the people as we do.
We take this position not merely
because of the case presented, but
further because the fair name of
Georgia and her citizens has recently
been characterized by outside in
fluences and money as lawless, and
we protest against any such action
by your department which appears
to be an official sanction of such
aspersion, which we know to be
absolutely false and wholly unwar
ranted.
Allow us to again insist if any
trial shall be had that it should be
in Georgia where the alleged offense
was committed.
Very truly,
