In AnJJle Vein.
"Isn’t custom a strange, unreason-
abel thing?” said an Albanian the
other day.
"No matter how unroji.-'onable the
thing may be on the face of it, if it is
the custom, if it has been practiced for
years before, the chances are that It
will be practiced again, Just for cus
tom’s sake.
"It was the custom for heathens to
cut a hole in their noses and wear nose
rings. I am glad to notice that this
custom among civilized people to do
the same thing with their ears is dy
ing out. I think there is* about as
much sense in the one as in the other.
"It is a custom in China to wear
the very tightest fitting shoes, no mat
ter how uncomfortable they may be,
and in other ways to punish the body
in order to have little feet, which is
considered one of the first essentials
of beauty in the Orient.
"It is the custom in this country to
take off one’s hat to a lady. If a fel
low took off hiu ejat to her he’d land
either In the penitentiary cr the luna
tic asylum. Like vise, it Is the custom
to take a lady by her arm when out
with her at night. If a fellow took
her by the neck it would be all off.
"Last week a negro called a white
man, here in Albany, a name which is
considered the vilest and most offen
sive that. co.dJ be used, and the white
man took up a hammer, hit the negro
on the hethl and killed him. Nobody
in tids section blamed him, I least of
all. T fredy confess that under the
circumstances I. would have done the
same thing.
"Yet out west, people call each other
that as they greet one another on the
street, and ask each other to take a
drink with them. It is the custom,
but. as raid ‘The Virginian,’ the hero
of Owen Wister’s hovel. ‘You must
smile when you call me that.’ If said
in anger, it'is a3 deadly an Insult In
the West as in the South.”
"I can’t understand for the life of
me.” remarked a gentleman Saturday,
"why there should be screens In front
of the saloons of this city, or any
other, as for tht.t.
“I, honestly believe that there is
much more drinking going on behind
those screens than there would be if
the bar was wide open and plainly in
view of everybody.
“People would not get drunk—that
Is. some of them would not—if they
knew they might be seen by anybody,
ladies and children included. As it is
now, occasionally one hears cursing
from behind the screens, the offender
realizing that no one can know who is
doing it. Without the screens, this
would not do.
"Without the screens, a man could
tell whether his boy, who might be a
minor, was drinking. There are a
number of advantages to saloons with
out screens. I can see, also, advan
tages in the present system.”,
In order that there may be no doubt,
the writer wishes it known that all the
statements and opinions reproduced in
the "Idle Vein” column in the form
of Interviews are not necessaiilyNion-
ourred in by him. Those, therefore,
whip have their hammers out for the
"Idle Vein” man . will kindly replace
them in the tool chests.

ALDERMAN KEY
OBJECTS TO “KITING.”
Reform Demanded in Atlanta’s Muni
cipal Affairs.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 30. — Alderman
Key, who has long been known as one
of the leaders in municipal reform
movements dn so far as they affect the
( conduct of the official business of At-
j lanta, desires reform in the method of
-making out the vouchers and payrolls
in the department of public works, of
which H. L. Collier is the head. Mr.
1 Key is chairman of the street commit
tee. He will ask the finance commit-
i tee of council to rearrange the appor-
■ tlonment made to the public works de
partment. Key objects to what he
terms "kiting” in the department, in
that money for payrolls is charged up
to the streets, ordinary, chert, stone,
sewer repairs, general expenses and
payroll funds. He declares that money
for all payrolls must be paid out of
the payroll fund. Key Is being backed
In his contention by Mayor Wood

The farmer with good sweet pota
toes on hand can now dispose of them
to his entire satisfaction. Prices are
good, and the supply is not plentiful.
A well-known farmer who was in town
this morning with a two-horse wagon
load of yellow yams found many
parties who were ready to buy, and
had no difficulty In getting rid of his
entire supply. He stated that he
could have disposed of several hun
dred more bushels had he had them to
offer.

MANY CASES OF CONTRACT
JUMPING REPORTED.
To the Officers and a Number of Ar
rests Ar.e Being Made.
A number of arrests have been made
during the last few days by Sheriff Ed
wards and other officers as the result
of contract-jumping.
At this season of the year, when ne
groes are making their arrangements
for work on the farms, at turpentine
stills and elsewhere, contract-jumping
Is of almost daily occurrence, and
many cases are reported to the of
ficers in the course of a week. Yes
terday five or six arrests were made, \
and the officers are op the lookout j
for other offenders who ere for th(J~
present making themselves scarce. |
It is very annoying for a farmer or
other person employing laborers to
make arrangements for the season,
and after advancing money to the
hands with whom he has contracted,
have them skip out. And it is per
fectly natural for sufferers in such
cases to call the law down upon the
heads of offenders.
