All hall to the Ajnerican eagle,
Proud bird of freedom, all hall!
Thy spotless name no man can I nveigle.
or put salt on thy beautiful tall.
The American people spend an
Dually 75,000.000 for soft drinks.
It is a fearful waste of money.
Our people seems not to have
awaked to the importanee, yea ne
eessity, of organizing a Chamber of
Commerce. The Tribune will
keep them reminded of it; they
will arouse from their siesta by
and-by and, it is hoped, not too
late.
There is a vacancy in the
Fourth (leorgia congressional dis
trict, Judge Adamson having been
selected for an important New
York position, and the aspirants
are falling all over each other to
get into the running to (ill the va
cancy.
Whether peanuts and pimlers,
ground peas and goobers are of one
family matters little; they serve
the same purpose and are valuable
adjuncts to any well-regulated
farm. Experts say they spell
“prosperity," and that is the main
desideratum.
(leorgia needs no Lilliputes in
the United States Senate. She
has two there now and should get
rid of them at the first opportunity,
and (ill their places with full grown
men, men with breadth of eharae
ter, men of ability who stand four
square for the public weal.
The pro-tier man members of the
Edited States Seuate are about to
get their just reward, 'there is
strong talk of unseating Stone,
LaFollette, Grotuia, Hardwick and
one or two more. Petitions have
been tiled to that end. Our Hoke
Smith manages to keep himself
just within the line of safety.
The Atlanta Canstitution has
jusl celebrated its fiftieth anniver
sary, with the issuance of a 98 page
birthday edition, covering every
phase of (leorgia activity since it
was born. The Tribune, in this
connection, takes pride in the fact
that this great newspaper was the
conception of two South Georgians
—Col. Carey W. Styles and Hon.
Evan P. Howell —men of strong
intellect, great force of character
and energy. Col. Styles had pre
vious newspaper experience, edit
ing the "Wirograss \\ alchman," at
Waresboro, just previous to the
war, and the "Quitman Manner,"
at Quitman, which he hail estab
lished in the summer of !S(i7. Mr.
Howell had rofugeed to Quitman
during the war from Sandersville,
Washington county. The present
edilorof the Constitution attended
school at Quitman. It was in
Quitman that these gentlemen
conceived the idea and laid plans
for the establishment of the Con
stitution. Neither had sufficient
funds to enforce tlicir pet scheme,
hence a business man in the per
son of Hon. W. A. Hemphill, who
had some means, was admitted in
to the firm. The “Banner” was
disposed of to Col. Fred R. Fildes,
a practical printer. Messrs. Sty
les and Howell went to Atlanta in
midsummer of 1807 and. after
much worry, the Constitution was
born during the latter part of
September of that year. It is a
part of the long and honorable
history of the Constitution that it
carried the legal advertisements of
some South Georgia counties —no-
tably Berrien and Clinch. The
patronage was then given out ac
cording to the individual whim i f
the Sheriff, lie controlled it.
PIEDMONT INSTITUTE.
There Is no better secondary
school in Georgia than Piedmont
Institute at Waycross. The work
done there in every department of
education compares favorably with
the very best anywhere. Her
graduates leaving her portals to
enter upon active business life
have been eminently successful.
The school officials have kept in
touch with tlic graduates they
have sent out into the wide world
of business and feel proud of the
record made. Everything con
nected with her nine or ten years
existence emphasize the fact
that the curriculum is excellent,
the discipline splendid, health
good, the' ESPRIT PE corps, of
teachers and pupils, the most ad
mirable, The Tribune lias bad op
portunity to know something of
school life in Georgia and other
states, and unhesitatingly pro
nounce that at Piedmont far above
excellent.
Piedmont Institute is the joint
property of four Baptist Associa
tions in southeast Georgia—Con
solation, New Sunbury, Piedmont
and Smyrna —and each church in
each of these associations have
consented to her existence and are
responsible for her conduct and
success. "It is a matter passing
strange that this school not only
has no endowment but has been
allowed to plod along burdened
with a debt that is almost crush
ing it to death. Here is a matter
for the consideration of these four
associations and their woman's
missionary auxiliaries. There is
no grander work that could en
gage their attention than the lib
eration of Piedmont from the thral
(lorn under which she is laboring.
The Tribune, although a secular
newspaper, pleads with the Baptist
hosts of southeast Georgia to stop
talking about mountain schools,
schools in foreign lands or any
where else, until Piedmont is at
least rid of debt and sufficiently
endowed to keep it above want.
The Tribune repeats there is no
better secondary school in Georgia,
none surrounded with better in
fluences nor doing better workl
It is worthy the prayers and pat
ronage of the people, especially the
Baptist people, of southeast Geor
gia.
CHRISTIAN CONFESSION.
The Tribune wants to commend
and pass on to its readers one of
the evidences of true conversion,
passing from death unto life, com
ing under its observation. It was
a case of confession of sin and offer
of restitution.
It was conveyed in a letter from
a Pearson young gentleman, off at
school, to a young lady in this
city. He acknowledged the sin of
pilfering and not only asked for
giveness but offered restitution.
As the Tribune understands the
situation the pilfering, from a
moral viewpoint, amounted to
nothing of importanee, but from
the viewpoint of this real child of
God it was a burdon upon his soul
that could not be removed only
by confession and offer of restitu
tion.
Of course he was immediately
notified that his confession was
ample restitution, that nothing
was held to liischarge. And there
can be no doubt that his faith has
been strengthened, and that he is
now basking in the joys of salva
tion. A new life has unfolded it
self to him.
There is no more enobling grace
than a strong and fixed faith in
the Christ; il is a possession that
w ill bust throughout eternity.
The Savannah News states that
the reason for the low price of na
val stores is due to the supply be
ing greater than the demand.
Well, may be so!
