The Tribune editor is too old to
learn how to boost a special “Gold
en Rule” sale day. lie takes it to
mean on that day “Merchants sell
to their Customers as they would
have their customers sell to them."
They should do that every day.
Now, isn’t this perfectly horrible!
The village of Coram, near Pateho
gue, N. V., has a perfect epidemic
of influenza brought about by in
dulging in kissing plays at a church
"frolic. The siege of osculation
must have been long and fierce.
There is no expectation of a
shortage in legislative candidates
in Thomas county. There are al
ready three announced candidates
and three expectants. There is
some talk of a woman candidate
for this honor. Thomas county is
entitled to two representatives.
April 7th was the anniversary
of Greek independence from the
terrible Turk, and the occasion
was duly celebrated wherever a
colony of Greeks are domiciled.
Savannah Greeks, according to the
News assembled at the church and
Worshipped and rendered thanks
giving to Ilim who civeth victory
to those who put their trust in
him.
Owing to the scarcity of fupds
on hand the Federal Land Hanks
t hroughout the country have prac
tieariy suspended business. How
ever, It is given out that there is
a demand for their new bonds and
large sales at a premium reported.
This will enable the banks to lake
care Of now business \jiih aTI the
locflll associations and put a large
amount pf new money into circula
tion.
A movement was launched in
Atlaatg Tuesday to inaugurate a
campaign in favor of the State of
Georgia buying the Atlanta, Birm
mg ham & Atlantic railroad, link it
up with the Western A Atlantic
Dilute,) railroad and create a trunk
line through the entire length of
the State, from the mountains to
the seaboard, lion. ,). A. ,1. lien
dergon, of Ooilla, presided at %he
meet ing, aud Mr. Fred G. Wattle,
of Brunswick, acted as secretary.
Gov. Hardwick, in putting a
man from Chicago to work, making
an efficient survey of the various
bureaus and departments of the
State government, enjoined this
gentleiirtm ffom Chicago that his
study must be made complete,
absolutely unbiased and with no
thought whatever of politics. Why
employ a man from Chicago if not
for his entire disinterestedness?
Was not such instructions rather
'■tv,
a show of vanity on the part of the
governor?
The Convent ion of County Com
nussioners in Bain bridge, on the
19th, will undertake to evolve a
plan to prevent sales for taxation.
It ig a problem. The tax sales pub
Jished in the several counties are
causing an unusual alarm, and a
heartfnl consideration for the poor
tax payer. Much of this tax de
Jinquoney is the result of inability
to collect money due the tax payer.
Chairman Jesse M. Roberts, of the
Atkinson county commissioners.
will probably attend the meeting.

Editor Herring, of the Tiftou
Gazette* tells how a Texas oil well
promoter tried to beguile him with
an offer t-o swap him oil stock for
advertising space. But Herring
rsiys he could eoujure up no sufti
eieut reason why he should swap
bis valuable space for something
of doutftil value. The same old
Texas devil shuffled a hand in the
gamble and passed it this way, hut
it was passed on to the junk pile
without a thought of what a tre
mendous bargain it might be.
Money doesn't grow on tret's in
this editor’s garden.
AS TO ADAM AND EVE.
The Cairo Messenger and Albany
Herald have discussed thequestiou
whether Adam and Eve were
married. The Messenger argues
they were never married and says
in support of its position:
Here is one of the best red
es why Adam and Eve were
never married: “And Adam ,
said, this is now bone of my
bones, and flesh of my flesh:
she sh;il 1 he called Woman, be
cause she ' was taken out of
Mari.” Adam was to Eve the
same as is .the infant son to
any mother, also Eve was the
same lo Adam as the child is
to its father. Adam and
Eve were one, and hence
there was no cause for marriage,
none needed, none necessary
and there was none recorded.
Likewise today, if the same
love and affection prevailed,
our “marriage vows’’ would
not be so outrageously violated
and neither so many divorce
decrees issued. No, brother,
Adam and Eve were never mar
ried, and it is a great pity that
so many marriage certificates
liftve already been issued.
“Search the scriptures.”
The Herald says they were mar
ried and argues in defense:
All right. We will “search
the scriptures”—a little hit
further. As far, let us say, as
the next verse to the one you
quote, which is Genesis 2:29.
And in Genesis 2:21 we read:
“Therefore shall a man leave
his father and his mother and
shall cleave unto bis WIFE;
and they shall be one flesh”'
The dictionary at our elbow
defines “wife” as “a woman
joined to a man in wedlock;
married woman? spouse; con
sort.” And if there was no
marriage in Eden, how cargo
Mother Eve to be the wife of
Father Adam? "Search the
scriptures.”
But being a w ife, like being
a husband, is a matter of a
good deal more than standing
before a preacher or a magis
trate aiuf saying "I do” and
"1 will.” Details of the first
marriage seem just now to he a
good deal less uncertain than
the question of how to make
modern marriages more endur
ing is pressing.
The Tribune has no disposition
to interfere with the diversion en
gaged in by the Messenger and the
Herald, hut will indulge in a few
observations in connection with
the Adam aufl( Eve incident.
God did not create Adam nor
Eve by name. lie created "man"
—which is a generic term applying
to all mankind. The names, Adam
and Eve, are Hebraic words —the
one meaning the “Earth-man,” aud
the other meaning "Life," hut
specially "The mother of creation.”
The inspired historian tells us
that God created the inhabitants
of tlic water, the air and the earth
in pairs—male and female —and
commanded nropogation of their
several species. "Man” was the
last ami notable of God’s
creations, for lie was to have do
minion over all ilis previous crea
tions and wiffi their assistance to
subdue the earth.
The historian says “God saw
that it was not good for man to
live alone.” This does not mean
Adam alone but every man, i«<i
masculine sense. Here, in what is
known as the Adam and Five inci
dent, began the creation of man, hi
a feminine sense, giving “life" to
the bone as a helpmeet for man —
and man named this "life" woman.
This helpmeet was to unite with
man in multiplying and replenish
ing the earth with human beings
and to suixluc inanimate creations
all for the glory of the Creator
aud for their own benefit.
The act of bringing together,
uniting, man and woman was that
of the great Creator. It is, surely,
of divine origin, and a divine act.
Marriage" is an English word
which means "l he act of uniting a
man and woman” in accordance'
with God’s purpose.
Whether . Adam and Eve were
married is left for the Messenger
aud the Herald to determine for
themselves. The Tribune savs
they were united —became one in
thought, action and purpose. It
was the 4-hvino creation of the
"home." the sacred "unit of so
ciety." To answer properly the
legally required questions of a
marriage ceremony is. as the Her
ald says, not all there is to a "Di-1
vine union of man and woman." |
