2 MOODY OF MASSACHUSETTS. A H ARD FIGHTER. A CldlSE STU DENT AID A PRACTICAL MAW. tin* Made an Eihmialivr Sln<ly of Parliamentary Law nnd Ha* Frn Snlti-riora In That Line—llia Jtlil*P nirnt I* Reaprcted on the Floor ot the Hoaae—How He Once Opposed Hi* Own Party and Helped Seat a Democrat. Washington, May 18.—Among the young er members of the House of Representa tives there is none who gives promise of greater permanent usefulness that Will iam H. Moody of Massachusetts. This is really Mr. Moody's second term in Con gress. He was first elected to fill out a few months of the unexpired term of Gen. Cogswell, one of the best men who ever ■a: in the House, but had little opportu nity then to do much more than look around and get his bearings, which he did to very good purpose. Mr. Moody was first chosen in his own right to the Fifty fifih Congress and down in the Essex dis trict they now say that he can stay in Cong Tess Just as long as he likes. Three is nothing sensational or super ficial about Moody. He is as hard a Working and as thorough going a man as there is in public life to-day. The qual ities which have won his present success and which promise to bring him still greater successes are firmness, conscien tiousness and sincere devotion to duty. He always Inspires confidence and that is something which must be of the utmost value to any man who maps out for him self a political career. There have been ether members of the House In the last few years, who by single successful Strokes have gained for themselves a greater temporary reputation and who, perhaps, by the nature of the circum stances surrounding their display mav have attracted wider attention away from Washington. But no one of these com pares with Moody when it comes to in fluence in the House and no one of them has taken a place among the real lead ers of Congress in matters of legislation within so short a time. Moody** Beginning* In Wn nil 1 n gton . When Moody first came to Washington he set out with the definite purpose of making himself thoroughly familiar wbn Ihe methods of legislation, and for months devoted himself solely to this task. He deliberately resisted the temptation, al ways strong with new members, to force himself upon the aitention of the Hou v by plunging into debate and making a hit with a maiden speech. He had confidence in himself and knew that he could safely wait and trust lo time and to His naii\e abilities to gain the influence and reputa tion he was after. He waitel until he was sure of his ground and then when he ventured to demand the attention of ihe House he got it and In such a way, tco, that thereafter every word of his carr ed welgh-t. He i/npresed himself upon his associates as a sound lawyer with a train ed mind whose honesty of purpose could never be questioned. Mr. Moody has ally’s been placed on hard working commt.iees. His first as signment was to the Elections Committee and his first reputation was made by his exhibition of Independence in uphold,ng the claim of the Democratic claimant In a contested case. He had to break with his Republican associates on the cotnmit.ee in this, but so completely had he masterei the details of the cast aad the law* that he carried his point against the majority of his own party. He was afterwards assign ed to the Appropriation Committee which is the roost important committee of the House, Appropriation bills always have the right of way and members of the com mittee arc constantly in evidence from the necessities of their position. Garth Id, Randall and Cannon are some of the men whose congressional careers were Indent.- tied with their work on appropriations end opportunities for reputation are Just as great now as every they were. To handle an appropriation bill on the floor, to secure its passage by the House it the shape it comes from the committee tnd to catry the original form so far as possible to the point of enactment into law in spite of the ohangts suggested by the fenate. afford the very best test of par liamentary ability. The member who does all these things must have a thorough knowledge of his subject, must be effective in debate, and shove all must understand men and be resourceful in parliamentary expedients. Moody has shown ail these qualities and las won signal victories on the floor. When he was a member of the Postal Commission he devoted himself as con scientiously to studying all the conditions cf the postal service as to every other question he had undertaken to master. He is' a member now of the Committee on Insular Affairs which Is to be her af ter one of the great committee of law yers. Keep* Bachelor'* Hull. Moody is a bachelor. He has always had bachelor apartments in Washington and through one congressional session he and Representative Gillette hired a house to gether and kept bachelor’s hall. He is a member of the Metropolitan C ub and such time as he spends in the club is about all the social relaxation he allows himself or carts for. At home In Massachusetts he ranks high as a lawyer and duilng the long recesses of Congress he devotes himself to his profession, although there is n-ver a time when he is not studying legislative prob lems and trying to fit himself more thor oughly for his public duties. During one long recess he carried home all the books be could find on parliamentary usage, and when he came back for the next session he was so thoroughly grounded in that most difficult and Complicated branch that only two or three men in Congress, and those veterans, who have seen many years of service, can compare with him In parliamttitary lore. Moody is short and stocky with a fine head set on a broad pair of shoulders, and he looks the lighter that he is. No cue can see him without recognizing the man of bull dog tena ity who Is not afraid of tackling any situation which he may b - thrown up against. He was graduated at Harvard four ytars before Gov. Roose velt. but unlike some of the other Har vard graduates who have come forward ii public life has never devoted himself especially to pure literature, and there is llvle of the a'mos; h< re of books about him. He is hard head and and practical, un hampered wbh illusions, but In spite of hb hard sense he figures 1 ttle in practical politics—so-called—and is indifferent to the machinery cf primaries and conventions.

Shoe Mil n n factoring Compnn > Fa mous Olil Negro I^ead. Eatonton, Ga., May 19.—Prof. O. B. Nls bet has been elected principal of theEatcn ton High School. He succeeds Prof. C. H. Bruce. The shoe manufacturing company has been organized and the plant will probat!y be in operation within sixty days. The ca pacity of the factory will beaboutSOO pairs per day. W. S. Smith and C. M. Davis were elected managers and D. M. Wilson superintendent. The Mllledgevllle Oil and Ice Compiny has bought a lot from W. S. Smith upon which it will erect a ginnery an 1 probahy and oil and ice factory. The ginnery w.U be much larger than anything of the kind in this section, and both the square ard round bales will be packed. An event of interest of this week 10 all who have visited Eatonton was the dearh of "Sleepy Clark." For years this old dark.v has stood upon the streets of the town in a somnolent state. He slept as readily in the midst of the "madding crowd” as on a mohair mattress. His narration of the origin of his affliction was very interesting; first, because he claimed to have been hoodooed by a "nigger who worked In roots en one stuff ern ther," at the Instance of a number of young negr s whom he had superseded in the affections of a "likely cullud girl;" and. second, be cause all this occurred on the plantation of Mr. A. Turner, who guided the budding genius of Joel Chandler Harris, and at the time that Mr. Harris was pack ing his brain with negro folk lore on the same plantation. The old negro remem bered Mr. Harris quite well. SEPARATION OF THE RACES. Tlie Plan Put Into Effect on Augus ta's Street Can. Augusta, May 20.—Tlte separation of ne groes and whites on the street cars was Inaugurated this morning In Augusta. i>i the forenoon, negroes were assigned to rear scots on the cars, and whites to the seats in front. In the afternoon a trailer was run with each motor car to accommo date the large travel of the afternoon and evening, but so far as the negroes were concerned It did not materialize, very few of them riding at all, and both front and back oars being filled by whites. The negroes resent the regulation, and are advised by their leaders to boycott the cars. To-night a little sensation was created by the report that negroes had wrecked a Summerville car, but it proved to be ab solutely unfounded. The only excuse for the report was that negroes had been heard to make threats, and Mr. T. I. Hickman, lntendant of Summerville, swore in some extra deputies to aid his mar shal in patrolling tne line of the road in the village. There was no demonstration of any kind. —The Austrian Emperor Francis Jo seph, who is 70 years old, was recently advised by a high court official to take the baths of Gastein as a cure for rheu matism. He replied: "I have too much work to do now to think of going to it watering place. I shall begin to think of that when X grow old.'* THE MORNING NEWS; 31UNUAA, MAY 21. 1900. STAY AND GET COUNTED. SAVAXXAIIIAXS SHOILD SOT LEAVE TOO KARLA THIS SIMMER. The Census Begin* June 1 and !*af Two Weeks Ordinarily Several Thousand Sn\niinaliinn* %re Out of the City by the Middle of June. Willi a I.ate Season the Exodus May be Delated Somewhat This 4 ear—lf Compelled to Go Early the Information May Be Left With a Member of the Untnily or Mulled to the Super* isor. It is to be hoped that there will be no large exodus of Savannahians from the city before June 15. The census count begins on June 1 and will not be com pleted in the city untik the night of June 14. The summer of 1890 was a very hot one, and it is estimated that somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 of the city's popu lation were away at the time, the ma jority of whom failed to get their names on the census list. This accounts in parts for the unsatisfactory showing made for Savannah by the census of 1890. Summer has been slow in coming this year, and the annual exedue has hardly begun. If the weather will continue pleas ant three weeks longer the number of ho* weather absenteea wijl be compara tively small and the enumerators will be enabled to get an approximately fair count of the people. A hot wave early in June, however, may cost Savannah some 2,000 to 3,000 in the count. A well known minister said yesterday that the effects of the summer weather upon church attendance was already very evi dent, and he estimated that 10 per cenr. of the families which compose his large congregation had already removed ou< of the city or were preparing to do so. Many of these, however, will still be within th* confines of fhe county and in reach of the enumerators. A prominent real eetote agent, in speak ing of the matter, said; “It is very un fortunate for Savannah that the count could not have been fakt'n two months earlier. With an early summer, the num ber of residents who will be out of town when the census is taken, will not be less than 5,000. Our city has shown a remarkably healthy growth during the last decade and I should like v<?ry much to see a full count of the population. Unln?s some arrangement is made to catch the absentees, however, the census will fail to do us justice.” The summe exodus is common to all he cities of the country, though natural ly the Southern cities will lose most by It, as the heated period arrives earlier •with them than with the cities to the North. The director of the census, how ever, has shown an intelligent apprecia tion of this state of affairs and has pre pared to meet it. The following infor mation on this head has been furnished the newspapers by the census bureau: “The count of the people in the United States will begin in all parts of the coun try June 1, and end in the cities two weeks later an t in the rest of the coun try before the close of the month. The people are to be counted at their places of residence, but as many persons and families will be away from their homes during June there is some danger that such persons will not be counted. If they are not counted, ihe locality in which they live will be misr pr -ented to that extent, and in seme cas* s this misrepre sentation may be enough to affect the representation in Congress cf the srato from which they come. Local pride and state pride, therefore, should lnfiucnre all such absentees to take reasonable pre cautions against being orhitted from enumeration in their places of residence. Such omissions are most likely to occur In the large cities where families close their* homes and go elsewh r* for the summer. The occurrence of the Uarls Ex position this year is likely to increase the number absent from fhe country. "In all cases of contemplated absence the head of the family is requested by the census office to communicate with the supervisor of the district in which he Jive?. He is also requested to leave information regarding his answers to the questions which are to be asked with some respon sible neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enumerator cn his rounds. Such information migh‘ b c tter be left as a memorandum in w ir'ng, as in that case it in lor*; likely io be overlovk-.d. The ques tions to which answers ar' desired applv primarily to the population, hut nlso to all farms and manufacturing establish ments. They are being published from lime to time in the prers of the country. By taking this trouble the absent citiz n will do jus* ce to his locality and his state, and materially aid th census office in the performance cf its duti-s.” Where n member of the family remains in the efty the information concerning the absent members can very well he left with him. Where it in not convenient to do this il would be well for the head of the family to address n note containing the desired Information to Supervisor Henry Blun at the Custom House. As the character of the information desired has been frequently stated in the news papers, no intelligent person is likely to go far astray in making such returns. SPECIAL FOR TEE VETERANS.
