Now. the possibilities of •<" M *P h *2 transit are to be ser.ou.ly and the arrival of the successful Wright with their balloons and aero planes from France to make a demon stration of their remarkable utility and nuccess. marks an era in the history of our time The transportation of freight and passengers in horseless carriages was also a wonderful event, but when freight and passengers can be carried overhead in dMigible balloons. it will rep resent far gteater success, and perhaps no more risk or danger. Perhaps there are a lot of people who vow they will never risk their lives in a balloon, and continue to be afraid of such conveyances, but when they become common, useful and economical, we may certainly expect to see them well patronised. All new inventions or discoveries er this kind were first looked upon as chimerical and impossible. We are told there will be stations, regularly established, where a supply of hydrogen can be obtained when ever these traveling air cars get down to steady work, and after successful transits are accomplished between Philadelphia and New York, the distance to California will not be a hindrance to the enterpris ing | contractors who manage the air travel In the early emigration from the east, over the plains to California, there were no railroads, no ’telegraphs or telephones. Emigrants used ox-teams principally, and the American desert was strewn with the bones of men and animals that perished on the way. It was a period of sore stress, strain and danger. It only requires a few days now. with steam cars, and Pullman coaches make the trip delightful, according to reports from tourists. I have always wanted U» go there. When the dirigible balloons or aero planes undertake to carry freight and passengers, it may consume much less time and fatigue than at present to reach i the Pacific slope. To ride five or six hundred feet above the earth on a clear day will be some thing to be ever remembered, and we may hear of passing glimpses of other stellar bodies when traveling In the sky becomes common, popular and reasonably safe. "What wonders ba’h God wrought.” was the first recorded message that passed through the first submarine cable from London to Washington fifty years ago. •Nothing collld give better expres sion to the wanders that the sky may hold for the future travelers than the, same words. “What wonders hath God wrought on land and sea and air.” Bed Bugg 1 saw a few days ago a little story in a popular magasine which may be set down in even fewer words, in this connection. A little girl accompanied her parents on a trip through a rural section and they put up at an inn for a night in a small town in Georgia. That night the mother heard the little one say her prayers, and told her that angels were round about her. to be not afraid, while she (the mother) sat out on the piazss. during the hot evening hours. After an hour or so of quiet the little one called for "mamma." and when the mother reached the bed she asked her child what was the matter? The artless Ifttie pet cried out. "mamma, the an gels are biting me!" The season of the year is now upon us when bed bugs are getting active. If there is a ndbk or cranny where they can hide tn daytime and come out to forage after dark you may be sure the "creet ers" will enter and occupy. Ever htnce I can remember I have been listening to bed bug remedies from older people and I guess the end of time will find some of the later generations of the bed bug family still holding their own. When they once get • * foothold in walls and ceilings the pestersome as chicken mites, and tells the sto ry. Scalding and scouring will do much towards keeping them down, but a bed bug la tike a eat. in haring nine chances to propagate and continue under difficul ties. Iron bedsteads have done much towards providing a real remedy, and disinfectants and plentiful. In my early time we re lied on quicksilver, whipped into the white of an egg to scare the bugs away, but the only certain relief lay in constant watchfulness and painful cleanliness. It must be war to the knife and the knife to the hilt with chlnces. Nothing disturbs me so much as the advent of a chinch bug. and the smell of one will keep me awake all night. Some years ago I was with a party of friends in lower Georgia and we were en tertained at the only hotel In town. Next morning the company yawned and complained of sleepleeaneas. not insomnia, because we might have slept if the chinch bugs had not kept up a circus perform ance from dark until dawn. Even my bare feet showed the marks of warfare. There is no excuse for such neglect, but bed bugs are terrible pests The Automobile Menace In process of time horses and mules jasy get reconciled to automobiles, but you may l>e sure that time is not yet come. Only yesterday I read of a fright ened horse and an overturned buggy, and the lady driver dragged a quarter of a mile tangled in the harness. It Is a common occurrence to read of frightened horses and when my sleepy headed old Dolly mare had a conniption fit. and ran like a rabbit with me. and I coukj not check her until a man ran out from somewhere, jumped up on the beck of my buggy and puHed the lines until he sesawed the old thing to a stand still. I fully understand how badly an auto car can frighten the gentlest of old horses. This same old Dolly keeps one eye open now for any strange noise behind her. and when I see an automobile away up the street or down the big road. I drive to another street as quickly as I can. or X get down and swing to her bridle close up |o her head until that snorting bugaboo goes by us. Our town has taken the erase, and we win have six or more automobiles darting about our streets within a few days, and I seriously ask myself: “What I am to do?” I must have a conveyance or stay in the house, for my pedestrian days are over. It will be a sore affliction to me to lose my accustomed eaercise. and 1 am not financially able to sport a touring cgr. .. I seriously believe there must be a town ordinance to confine the autos to certain streets and to compel the owners of the machines to halt when approaching a buggy or carriage team. The risk with runaway horses is a very serious one, and it would be preposterous to make ail the poorer folks go foot-back that rich ones may enjoy these loud-smelling horseless carriages—that go like a railroad engine, and ever and occasionally fly the trick and mash the owner to a pulp. These auto cars are star performers when they make a killing, and a good many many of us are in a quandary. If we can't drive a horse or a mule in the neighborhood, because the frightened ani mals may kill us, and with the slim chance of preserving life if we drive an automobile, we must either walk or con fine our traveling to railroad trains, that is. if we have the money to go around in that expensive way. THE GEORGIA RAILROAD FIREMEN’S STRIKE Editor Atlanta Journal—This is not a strike for higher wares. It is not tn correct a pe cuniary Intuatlee does the laboring man. Sometimes these acts cf resistance to capital by labor are just, proper anneals to the cor poration's conscience, a psychological element, sail! not to belong to coroorate bodies, but which often is put. under proper circum stances. into active operation when ths man agement has a conscience. The present strike is a voice of the advanc ing ages, the step first made after the royal entertainment of the African oueen by King Solomon. down throuah th* missing and puri fying of Israel In the wbshinu out all but the white blood: through th* agonies of th* Grecian and Roman empires: the final occu pancy of Europe bv the white races, and the establishment of the auoremaev of the white race in America. This strike is an element of the movement along the same line. It is one of th* necessarv resultants In the operation of the great and self-built line of traffic and transportation in a system that is part and rare*l of our rrvrlization. without which at this dav we could not. as a nation. There are here met two elements that must move in harmonv: the whit* race and trans portation bv rail. That either shall block the other is death to both. The energy ot the Saxon coupled with his patriotism and unflinching resolution to over come anv obstruction in his advance to com mercial greatness and national power forced Into life the great railroad svstem. It is a factor In the white man's civilisation, with out which our land would be as an Indian wild, as desolate as orovlnaial drowsiness could make It It is one of the mile posts down the ages of the advance es white sunremacy. Shall a shadow from darkest Africa stop this prosrress. even for a moment? Whither has fled the patriotism of the management of the Georgia railroad that at will permit a few negro firemen to block even one turn of an engine wheel? Why have they not recognised the call of the ages? Whv have thev dulled their ears to the buele note sounded bv the white fire men? It is not the voice of those few men on the Georgia road alone—heroes in the right caua*—but It is the lone roll nf the drum that sounds a ca!l for all white men “into line." White supremacy to the front, and the negro necronite to the cotton field or to Africa! He might be snared a little while from tak ing his trio to his ethnic nativity, to make a temnorarv diversion, a short call, north of Mason and Dixon's line. A direct trip east, though would save him from the unpleasant recollection of seeing his bosom friends -ip th*re In a hurry to "speed the parting guest " The closer thev com* In contact with him— that Is. the pure strain of white blood—the less thev |fk* ht-n The dav has dawned with nmphetlc rays of Its rising win pointing eastward. And If the negro will take a friend's advice, he will see the proprletv of shlf’ine hie tent pole to an other bivouac. His march has not ended. This is from one who never, knowingly, did one of the race wrong: who has risked his cwn Ilf* when that life was voung and full of hope end werth enjovlng: vea staked his own life for tho life of one of them: threw himself in between the negro that had done no .me any (rrons and an Infuriated mob of negroes and saved Mm from the rone and pistol. The writer has not heretofore refrained from telling them some truths, and has this further to aar: It will be wise for the negro to cur* his wlll-be-fatal <■•%»* of nostalgia, with which he Is suffering ignorantly, by pre paring his mind tn so home ft will take time for him to go. With his will every way helping hit.,. This generation can see and .'eel only the beginning of his exodus. But we live in a day when lightning Is our standard of motion Th* white firemen sav the railroad's engines must be fed bv white firemen They are only move-1 bv a law as strongly operative as the universal law of gravitation. The corn and cotton field can. seemingly, for a while stay the operation of the law of searation and removal. It is wiser to look willinslv at the pointings of friends than wait for the forcing of enemies. JAMES J SLADE. St. Elmo. Columbus. Ga_ Mar 23. 1909. SIO,OOO Fee for Lucky Baldwin's Doctor f * * we m Jc I I J \ z& g - - Dr. J. W. Trueworthy. I>OS ANGELES. Cal.—Because of his untiring and successful efforts in extend ing for a few short days the life of E. J. tLucky) Baldwin, when the famous turf man was dying at his home near this city. Dr. J; W. Trueworthy, a prominent Los Angeles physician, is to receive 1100,- 000. When Baldwin died Dr. Trueworthy, who had been his medical adviser and confidant for 12 years, presented a bill for >1(0.000. It has been absolutely assured that no litigation will ensue pending set tlement of the large fee. as the Baldwin heirs agree that the physician did miici to lengthen Baldwin's life during the final Illness. For two days and nights before Baldwin <iied Dr. Trueworthy was almost con stantly at his bedside. When it is considered that the Bald win estate is rated at 125,000.000 the foe compared with a f 2 bill for a man leaving a 1500 estate.

Ga., May 24—While It is over a year off before the next race for congreasHaau for tile Seventh congressional district, several candidates have announced aud are already in the race. In all probability. Cobb county will have at least one entry for congress. For sev eral weeks petitions have been circulated urg, tng Hon. B. G. Brumby, general manage? of the Marietta Chair company, and one of the most prominent business men in the •'ate. to enter this race as a business man's candidate. So far all the annoustced candidates are law yers. and there is no doubt that If Mr. Brumby should enter the race, he would have the active support of thousands of business men through out the district. Besides being a good bualuess man. he is an orator, and is one of tl,e most popular men in the district. „ , . Mr. Brumby has been active in politics for years, but if he enters this race, it will be his first real interest in polities. Hs was an active supporter of Hon. Hoke Smith in his last ca?n paign and was chairman of Cobb County Hoke Smith club. a « - Willie Mr. Brumby has not announced for cer tain that be will make this race, his friends are urging him to run.

Court Sustains 2 Liquor Appeals The hearing of certiorari proceedings brought by A. Samuels and H. T. Connal ly, who appealed from the fine and sen tences Imposed by Recorder Broyles on a charge of selling near-beer to minors, was resumed before Judge Ellis, of the superi or court, on Thursday. Judge Ellis sustained the certioraris. He held that the court of appeals had al ready held that selling to minors was a charge already covered by the state law, and that the recorder could not sen tence and fine offenders for selling to minors, but only for keeping liquor on hand for purposes of illegal sale. The distinction is mainly a technical one, although in this instance It saves Connally and Samuels from a stockade sentence. Had the recorder used the evi dence of the sale to minors to show that liquor was kept on hand for purposes of illegal sale, he could convict, but he could not convict for selling near-beer to mi nors. The court denied certlararis sought by F. P. Whitley and L, W. Harbuck. who were found guilty by the recorder of keep ing liquor on hand for purposes of illegal sale, and who appealed. J. R.

DIRECTORS BEHIND SCOTT IN STRIKE One of the developments of the strike situation Wednesday was the important announcement that the directors of the Georgia Railroad and Banking company are tn absolute accord with the action being taken by General Manager Scott, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. It was reported Tuesday that the two local directors in the Georgia Railway and Banking company—namely, John W. Grant and Dr. A. W. Calhoun, had held a conference with Governor Smith and decided to use their influence with Gen eral Manager Scott to bring a quick set tlement of the affairs, and acept the prop osition to artbitrate made by the gov ernor. Mr. Grant states that this was not done, although, as directors in the company that own the road, they sought Governor Smith, at the request of Jacob Phinizy, president of the Georgia Railroad and Banking company, and urged that every possible protection be given the railroad against disorder. Mr. Grant stated that it would have been presumption on the part of the di rectors of the ownership company to have urged General Manager Scott to arbitrate or to try to dictate his course. The report had the tendency to lead to the Inference that Dr. Calhoun and Mr. Grant and other directors were in opposition to General Manager Scott in his attitude in the strike, when as a matter of fact, it is stated that the di rectors are backing up General Manager Scott.
