Congress ' opens In Washington
next week and the league base-ball
games are to begin In many cities.
The Congressman who hopes to
keep bis name as prominent In the
newspapers as the arerage ball
player needs to do something be*
sides making speeches on the floor.

Country life won another victory
up In the mountains of North Geor
gia the other day when a school
house caught on Are. All of the pu
pils quietly walked to the windows
and jumped out, as they probably
do every day sit recess In order to
make a "near cut." In a city, the
buildings would have been several
stories high aAd those who were not
killed In the narrow parages, or
trampled to-.death on the stairway,
might havo been killed jumping
from the windows.
President Taft says that no dec
laration of war will be made with

gia, not to mention the newspapers
"staunch point*’ of the season. Here
follows what seems to be a delintte
location of the quarry. Thq Press
of March 28th says:
“Not a Candidate.”
“While conversing with a
crowd of gentlemen In the lob
by of the court bouse last Wed
nesday, a friend of Governor..
Hoke Smith put the question to
him as to whether he was a
candidate for the senate. Mr.
Smith replied as follows:
"No, I am not a candidate
but I have never said that I did
not want the pjace. I would
like to be senator at some time
In the future, and If 1 should be
elected, I will he pleased to
serve."
This means that the governor-el
ect Is ’n the bands of his friends. If
elected he will accept! if not elect
ed, then he had, not been a candi
date.
This brings to mind a bit of po
litical gossip which is now In grape-
vllle circulation In Georgia. The
fact that It is grapeville, socalled,
does not prevent *t from being true.
The story runs as follows, to-wit:
Congressman Hardwick, before he
left for Washington the other day,
stated bis belief to close friends that
Smith (while he would accept If
elected In spite of himself) will not
be a candidate and that he (Hard
wick) will announce for the toga

Friends of Governor-elect Bmith
realise that he and his faction have
created a sentiment which will pre
vent the 8tate Executive Committee
from ortlorlng a senatorial primary
and that now that sentiment will
operate against Smith for 8onator
because his election to that office
would entail a primary for Gover
nor, a thins against which they
s}and. '
So It will be seen that the sena
torial situation ha# no means clear
ed up. 8pjlth and his backers are
on record as opposing a senatorial
primary because It would disturb a
needed rest “rest from poltlcal agita
tion;” but his election to the Senate
would bring that dreaded thing—a
dreaded primary for Governor.

WHEN FEAR IS ON THE MIND.
What foolish things we all do un
der the pressure of fear, says Orison
Bwett Marden, In "Success Mags
sine." Discouragement colora the
’Judgment I have known men who
own their own homee to e#tl their
property and do the moat ridiculous
things In order to raise money, be
cause they were agrald they would
come to grief In their business It
they did not have If. when as a mat
ter of fact there was no real cause
for anxiety whatever. When you are
at your wits* end and do not know
which way to turn, you are In dan
ger, ton you are In no condition to
plan anything or to do the best
thing. You should do your planning
when you are cool and calm.
You are not capable of correct
judgment, of using good sens*, when
there Is fear or doubt or deapohden
ey In your mind. Bound* judgment
comes from* a perfectly working
brain, unclouded, untroubled facul
ties. Never act upon that which Is
suggested when you are In a stole
of fear or anxiety. Carry out your
plans, the course laid down when
your brain was clear,, your head- lev
el. When fear is In the mind the
mental forces ^re scattered and we
are not capable of vigorous concen
tration.
One reason why so many meg_do
not get on In the world Is because
they decide Important matters when
the mind Is In no condition to decide
anything when they are full of fear
that they are going to hare trouble,
that they are going to sustain great
loss, that there Is going to be a finan
cial panic. Thing# done under glch
pressure are never done wisely.
Wisdom Is what we want In an
emergency, and wisdom comes only
from a level head, a calm, clear
brain.
WHEN UNCLE SAM BUYS CLOTH.
The men of the United States
army comes nearer knowing to. a
certainty what they are buying in
the .way of cloth than do any-other
consumers in the country says
Mary Heaton Vorse in “Success
Magaslne.” When the Government
gives out a mllllon-dollar cloth ^on-
tract, It sees to It that It gets mater
ial according to specification. The
specific contract for various sorts
of cloth are elaborate and go Into
the technical side of the matter;
the number of -threads to be used to
the yanft, the kind of wool to he
used In manufacture—for the United
States soldiers ha# to be well dress
ed in clothes that will stand the
strain Qf weather and of work, ^n
Governors Island, New Tory Cuba
their Is a testing laboratory ff
cloth. A specification of the welfelt
per linear yard of each kind of
cloth Is mentioned; each holt of
goods Is weighed, and If It falls short
of the property weight It Is thrown
out. Next the question of wear and
tear la considered and again the
specification Ns stated that each
special kind of cloth will stand •
■train of so many pounds to the
Inch work way and so many pounds
to the Inch filling way. So after
weighing, the next test Is to. cut a
sample and try In a machine the
strength of the cloth. If It -won’t
stand this test the cloth 1# thrown
out.
After the cloth has beon pro
nounced perfect fog—Weight
strength, the dye tkrys. are
must itaff/^tw'o"’add te««
piratlon and the material must stand
boiling for ten minutes In d certain
soap solution, showing that It- stands
washing with strong alkalis; and
finally comes the woather tost, the
material being exposed thirty days
on the roof without changing color
appreciably. If the cloth has pass
ed Its examinations successfully,
each yard of each piece of cloth Is
Inspected, being run over machines
for the purpose, while Inspectors
watch for any Imperfections In the
weave. An eighth of a yard for
each Imperfection ta charged to the
manufacturer. _
Bo when the cloth Is finally sent
to the contractor to be made Into
uniforms, it Is known to be of really
good material. Each spool ot
thread, each button, each lining)
each filling used In the clothes of
soldiers ha# Its own special test.
