President West rapped for order, but
It hud little effect. Finally he became
a bit nettled, and said with consldera

•'Senators, we are voting on an Im

Private Leased Wire.
Washington, Aug. 8.—The census bu
reau today published an Interesting
collection of statistics regarding the
final condition’of the larger cities of
the countries together with compari
sons as to area and population. The
inquiry made in 1904 comprised all
municipalities having more than 30,-

Philadelphia fourth with 11,828, and
Duluth fifth, with 40,556. The city
having the smallest land area was Ho
boken. with 825 acres. It is remarked
that there Is often great disproportion
between the area covered by a city and
tho number of Inhabitants. Duluth,
with 62,000 Inhabitants, takes In more
territory than St. Louis, with Its 624,
000. Salt Lake City, with a popula
tlon 6,000'less than Hoboken, Included
an area thirty-five times /is great.
The total corporate expenditures

New York constituted 3167.060,171
three-tenths. Tin- i• ■ |>rt Mutr* that
although New York ha* only twice tho
population of Chicago, Its current ex
penscs were nearly four times as great,
During the fiscal year 1904 the total
receipts of the 161 cities were 3594,
171,998.
The aggregate debt of 151 cities
the close of the year was 31.531,462,656,
The largest per Capita net debt was re
ported by Newton, Mass, 3125.58. The
second largest, by New' York, 3112-26,

UNCLE LUM'S’ PROPHECIES
HOPE OF A NTI-HOKEITES
Special to The Georgian.
Thomasvllle, Ga, Aug. 8.—The polit
leal altuatlon Is very discouraging to
ths anti-Hoke men here because of
the'fact that they were slow to get In
the light and thus let the Hokeltes,
under the leadership of the strenuous
Dr. McIntosh, take the field boots, bag
gage and nil, before an effort was made
to counteract the Smith boom.
But notwithstanding all this, there
Is one real hope that nobody but
Smith men feel assured will hot fall
them when the crucial time comes,
that there Is one oasIS ’in tho political
desert In which the antl-Hokeltes ex
pect to water thetr caravans and rest
thdr tired feet when'the vote Is count,
ed on the lid.
The very strong reason Is not based
on any visible weakening of the Smith
forces, but It Is born of the old adago
that history repeats Itself.
There llrea In this city a prophet by
the name of Atkinson. How long he
•en prophesying passeth
collection of the oTdaet Inhabitant.
There le a tradition told of him that
before the Ochlocknee river washed Its
crooked way and drifted Its snow-
white sand through Thomas county,
this prophet said this rlvsr would never
wash Its ugly gully • through Thomas
county. But this prophet'a specialty la
politics. "Unde Lum/' ae he le fa.
mlllarly called, has a copyright upoi
political future telllnge. He ha
prophesied the results years and
months In advance, and the way they
have come to pass la what la doing
the Howellltes and Estlllltea so much
good at present.
"Uncle Lum” Is an ardent Ilokelte,
and ever since the race began he has
been prophesying that Hoke would
aweep the deck clean. Morning, noon
and evening ha propheslea that Hoke
will carry 140 counties In Georgia and
' in the adjoining states. As stated
the outset, this prophesy Is a foun
dation for the belief of the anti-Hoke
men that by some way now unseen
their bright hopea will be blasted and
Instead of saving the state, he can
only look with longing eyes toward
the mansion and gently chant: "That
Is the place I long have sought, and
mourned, because 1 have It not.”
The well-informed Howell and Estltl
men need not trace "Uncle hum’s"
prophesy back very far to lose him In
the mist and shadows of the float. The
voters of this generation remember how
he roretold McKinley’s Waterloo and
Bryan's victory In 11*4, also how hs
repeated It In 1100. Then they remem
ber how he dlacuased and abused
Parker, yet prophesied hls success.
The boys who do not Ilka Hoke take
encouragement from "Uncle Bum’s"
prophesy along this line, for they re
member how he made the air quiver
when the election for city schools was
up. and how he said It would never
pass, but It did; and then they re
member how he opposed city bonds for
nothing. He rarely has a corporal's
guard with him when the count takes
place. They-also remember how he
prophesied the defeat of the prohibi
tion cause In this county In 1191, and
yel It carried, with over 400 votes to
spare. Notwithstanding this setback,
hls prophetic vtslon was still undlmmed
four years later, when he again
prophesied the defeat of the prohibi
tionists. That "Uncle Bum's" political
