I' "Die Job la sumptln* fierce," Is proba-

?Clark Henry M. Wood, of the county
; board of commissioners. The aspirants
jto membership on the county police
! force have him besieged.
I The creation of the twenty-four new
‘positions last Haturduy set, It seems,
Uht majority of the citfsenahtp of the
county who are out of work, or making
{ ‘!*aa thnn 9100 per month, to thinking
they would make the very kind of
| goods necessary for enforcing the sub-
'urban law. Although the job pays but
$75 per month, and the men have to
• furnish everything from handcuffs to
• horse, several men who are making
well above that monthly stipend are
endeavoring to convince the county
that It needs them on Its payroll.
Although one of the strict require
ments of a county policeman Is sobrle.
' ty, dozens of more or less frequent
apreers are telling what fine men they
are for the Job, and go ahead and
subscribe their names to the statement
on the application blanks that they are
"strictly sober and in no wise addicted
to the use of Intoxicants."
. They have been crowding Mr. Wood's
•office all day, laboriously writing out
their applications, while they ponder
lover the questions: "Are you masried
or single ?" and "What was your last
Job?"
“Some of them haven't seen their last
Job In so long that they wouldn't know
It if they met It tn the road," said one
of the county officials. One applicant
Couldn't write and some one had to
.-make out his blank for him.
The majority of the men, however,
look as If they would make good offi
cers. The varied assortment Includes
city firemen, city policemen, street rail
way employees, farmers, constables.I
some unclassified and others who could
almost be classed as "bums."
E. V. Carter, chairman of the com
missioners' committee on roads and
bridges, said Wednesday afternoon that
he would call a meeting as soon as all
of the members of the committee were
In the city at the same time, to con

It Is generally conceded by those who
have kept up with the political situa
tion since the recent primary, that
Hon. Henry H. Cabanlss, of Fulton,
and Hon. E. L. Martin, of Bibb, will
be the secretaries of the Democratic
convention In Macon, when It assem
bles nexff Tuesday.
That Mr. Cabanlss Is slated for ogf
of these places there , can be no doubt,
for Hon. Hoke Smith's official organ has
stated that he "will be put forward for
one of the secretaryships of the State
Democratic convention that ls to meet
In Macon, September 4"
The suggestion of these two names
for secretaries of that convention has
brought on more talk, to the effect that
It may mean that these gentlemen may
respectively oppose . Hon. Charley
Northen for secretary of the senate,
and Hon. John T. Bolfeulllet for clerk
of the house.
A close friend of Mr. Cabanlss said
Wednesday that Mr. Cabanlss would
offer for secretary of the convention,
but would not run for secretary of the
senate.
In naming these men as secretaries
of that convention, an unbroken prece
dent for over a quarter of a century
will be set aside. Ever since Bill Har
ris, of Worth, and Mark Hardin, of
Bartow f , became secretary of the sen
ate and clerk of the house, respective
ly, It has been the custom for these of
ficers to act aa secretaries of the
Democratic convention.
Should these gentlemen contest with
Messrs. Northen and Bolfeulllet, there
would be considerable conjecture as to
the final outcome. The latter have
the bulge, so to speak, as they have
been campaigning for several months,
and If the former should win out, It
would be* due almost entirely to the
moral effect of the overwhelming Smith
victory.
Messrs. Northen and Bolfeulllet, It ls
said, are not losing any sleep over this
anticipated opposition, as both of these
gentlemen, so It was stated at the cap-
Itpl Wednesday, claim that they have
already- pledged to them more than
enough votes to Insure their re-election.
One of the real surprises of the cam
paign, however. Is the overriding of
the unbroken precedent of the past for
the clerk of the house and secretary
of the senate to serve as socr«fnrle»
of the state Democratic convention.

ANGR Y DEPOSITORS
FIGHT IN STREETS
By Private Leased Wire.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2V.—A crowd of
angry depositors, Including many wo
men, clashed with the police today.tn
front of the collapsed real estate trust
company building at Broad and Chest
nut streets.
The tine blocked the city's business
and the detail of police left on guard
over night was unable to cope with
them.
At first the women depositors gave
vent to their feelings by tears, but
finally the crowds pressed forward and
made threats against the officers.
With tho greatest difficulty the police
kept them from storming the building.
The victims refused to disperse, how
ever, even when threatened with arrest,
and further outbreaks are expected.
"Kill the officers now and Investigate
later,” shouted an excited man In the
crowd. He was promptly arrested.
Reserves Called OuL
The bank building Is closed and
even the employees are barred. Many
aged clergymen are among those who
suffered through the 27,000,000 failure.
Police reserves were called out tn
greater numbers and up to this time,
at least, have managed to prevent any
overt act. The temper of the crowd,
however, Is very ugly.
The crowd recognized F. Norden
Hippie, son of the dead president, who
works In the Real Estate Trust Com
pany as he was going out to lunch and
made a rush for him. It was with
? :reat difficulty the police rescued him
rom the angry crowd.

N this day of higher civilisation and
cultivation, when specialists In all
branches of life are so In rogue, per
haps, one snonld hardly be surprised at the
rivalry existing between the churches of
God, and although “au fod,” all must ack
nowledge that true religion Is not an ac
ceptance of any particular creed or a bur
den of commandments, still there are
many prominent ministers of today who
tnny be Justly termed "religious special
ists."
If Indifference Is paralysis of the soul. Is
not united energy proportionately powerful?
And are not rivalry. Jealousy and antag
onism always equally dangerous to co-work
ers for the same goal?
In ordinary life, such conditions create
mutiny, whleh fact should make all imiisc
and reflect upon the effects of reUglous
differences upon the soul.
Love Is not dependent upon Intellect, and
the bond of true religion la not that all
be alike In mind, but akin In soul.
Intelleetuul staudnrds of goodness ami
charity can only be partially satisfactory;
for no bare theory ever reaches the human
heart's core—sympathy born of love aud
suffering con alone accomplish that.

the Individuality which prompts nobility,

sacrifice and all forms of privation and suf
fering bring one more In touch with hu
manity, purity and beget active heroism
and nobleness.
The whole Bible Is a treatise on univer
sal lore-that nud that only ns a means
of salvation, "Judge not, that ye be not
Judged," yet what more conducive to gen

Theoretical religious arguments are rarely
convincing to any classes, for the truly or
thodox Christians realise that contentment
Is only found lu faith and the acceptance
of Und's greatness, whereas certain forms
of Investigation can only produce unrest

are powerless to effect well founded, sim

Edgefield, Tillman's home county,
gives the antl-dlapenaary ticket an

Lyon's victory Is a great triumph.
In Newberry county he ran 4 to t.
This Is the home of Hub Evans, former

where there was nearly a riot when
Lyon spoke.
Ansel's lead Is such that he will
have nearly a majority on the first

McC’owan Is elected secretary of

New Cotton Rate for Dublin.
The rate on cotton from Dublin to
Savannah has been lowered by the
railroad commission from 38 to 32
cents per 100 pounds. Complaint was
made by the citizens of Dublin, who
demonstrated that they were similarly
situated to Hawklnsvllle and Eastman,
which places enjoy the 32-cent rate.
In combatting It the railroads attempt
ed to show that Dublin Is not a com
mon point, but the commission could
not see It from that viewpoint. The
32-cent rate Is on uncompressed cot
ton, the carrier being given the privi
lege of compressing If It sees fit.
