One of the advantages of travel,

They who get the worst Impressions
of human society are the readers of

their own town or country, asserts the
Christian Register. In traveling, one
meets the Innumerable private citi

who are so good that they are never

The new English cable-ship Colonla
is ready to load 4000 miles of cable,
a greater length than the Great East
ern could carry, with which to finish
the Pacific line from Vancouver. As
soon as the cables have been loaded
the Colonia will proceed on her long
Journey, via the Sues canal, to Van
couver. She will then lay the cable
from that point to Fanning Island,
the little patch of dry land in mid-
Pacific. The cable from Fanning
Island, Fiji, New Zealand and Aus
tralia has already been laid, so that
as soon as the Colonla has accom
plished her work in hand the British
nation will have a complete circle
round the world of telegraphic cables,
all ot which lie between points of

The remarkablo rise of Professor
S. P. Brooks of Texas from section
hand to college president forms an
Interesting illustration ot how Amer
icans sometimes develop. Professor
Brooks was recently elected president

essor Brooks Is now about 45
years old. Less than 20 years
ago ho was a member ot the section
gang on the Santa Fe Railroad, earn
ing 65 cents a day with his spade.
At the end of the year’s service for
the Santa Fe he had saved enough
to pay his expenses tor one year in
Baylor university, which he entered.
His disposition and habits, his evi
dent determination to make the most
ot every opportuulty, attracted the
attention of President R. C. Buries-
ton, the founder ot Baylor in the Jays
when Texas was a republic, and who
remained at the head of the school
until it had grown to be the chief
sectarian institution of learning in the
southwest After graduating at Bay
lor university, Professor Brooks was
a member of the faculty until two
years ago, when he entered Harvard
to' take a post-graduate course. He
will take charge of the Institution
at the end of the present term.

To Prevent Law's Violation.
Governor Candler has referred to
Attorney General Wright the question
of the proposed merger of the South
ern and Seaboard Air Line railroads,
asking him to examine into the ques
tlon and take such steps as his Judg
ment were deemed necessary and
proper to prevent any violation ot th<
Georgia law.
“I am firmly ot the opinion tha
there can be no merger of these twe
systems without violating the funda
mental law of the state/’ Governoi
Candler said, “and I have submitted
the whole matter to the attorney gen
eral. asking him to look Into it and
;take whatever steps are necessary to
prevent such a merger and the viola
tion of the state law. I have' no defin
ite Information on the subject outside
of newspaper reports, but the indica
tions are strong enough to warrant'us
in preparing to meet It
Farmers' National Convention.
President George L. Flanders, of the
national farmers* congress, the next
annual meeting of which will be held
in Macon October 7 to 11, is prepar
ing the program for the event. Presi
dent Roosevelt, it is said, will be one
of the speakers, as will Governor Can
dler. •
The farmers' national congress Is
one of the most representative agri
cultural bodies that meets anywhere
in the world. Nearly every state in
the union will be represented by large
delegations, and many of them will
send honorary delegates In addition to
those who will take part In the delib
erations of the body.
President Roosevelt, It is said, has
agreed to visit Macon during the gath
ering.
Governor Candler has named fifteen
delegates to the congress, four from
the state at large and one from each
congressional district. These delegates
will take active part In the delibera
tions of the congress,* but In addition
to these there will wo some 5C0 to
1,000 honorary delegates appointed,
from five to ten being named from
each county. Lists of these honorary

The rule nisi In the case of Sheriff
B. E. Higgs, of Montgomery county,
who failed to release promptly W. B.
Freeman on receipt of the governor’s
pardon, has been prepared by Solici
tor General J. F. DeLacey, of the Oco

Solicitor Gqneral Delacey sent the
paper to the governor in order that it

eral for his approval or for any sug
gestions that he might see fit to make
The governor forwarded the paper to

asks for Sheriff Higgs’ suspension

Fees Are Too 8mall.
Secretary of State Phil Cook Is get
ting ready to prepare his annual re
port to the governor and through him
to the general assembly. In this he
will-make some very important and In
teresting recommendations relating to
the state department which has to deal
with a large proportion of tbe state’s
business.
Secretary Cook says there Is no
question that there should be a grad
uated fee bill for his offle-. This is a
matter which he has urged, for some
time. Fees for charters to corpora
tions, he thinks, should be measured
by the magnitude of the corporate
property or the amount of capital em
ployed. The present charter laws have
no regard to these considerations.
These fees all go Into the state treas
ury, and the state Is the only tarty
benefited by them. At present a cha»
tr for a railroad only one mile long
costs as much as for one 1,000 miles
long. There is no difference between
the price of a charter for at $25,000
bank , and a $600,000 bank. While a
charter for a little railroad, which the
company may for years be too poor
to build, costs $100, the rechartering
of an entire big system Involving the
consolidation of millions, costs only
BLACKS ANGERED.
Action of North Carolina Repub
licans Starts a Merry
Political War.
As a result of being ruled out of the
North Carolina republican state con
vention, the negro delegates have
launched a campaign against Senator
Pritchard, and it is freely predicted
that they will have a convention ot
their own for further carrying out
their plans to defeat Pritchard in his
race for the senate.
They held a meeting in Greensboro
late Thursday night and denounced
the state chairman for unseating
them. H. H. Taylor, a wealthy negro
from Warren county, says he would
be In favor of lynching a negro who
would now vote the republican ticket.
He predicted that the colored men of
his county would vote the democratic
ticket in the coming election.
The amtl-Pritchard movement among
the negroes promises 'o spread over
the entire state, and It is freely pre
dicted that a majority of the blacks
who are qualified to vote will oppose
the senator.
The white republicans who unseated
the negro delegated at the state con
vention seem to be unconcerned at the
defection of the negroes. They claim
that the iepubllcan party in the south
is better off without the negro and
that his place will be taken by white
voters. During the state convention
one white republican stated on the
floor that the negro had been a body
of death to the republican party in
the south.

ALLEGED WifKCKfc’K JAILED.
Eonth Carolina Officer Has a Suspect
Behind Prison Bar*. '
Alfred Cohan, colored, who, it is
thought, was implicated In wrecking
the Southern train at Harbin’i last
week, was arrested Monday near Ma
rietta, S. C„ about 12 miles north of
Greenville, ly Sheriff Moss, of Oconee,
and Railroad Detective Haynie.
Cohan was arrested and convicted
at Greenville last year on a charge
of forgery, for which he served one
year on the chaining. He baa also
served a term for killing a negro wo
man near Greers. Sheriff Moss has
taken the prisoner to Wdlhalla JalL
Total 9,713,394
Mr- C, B. Wood, Jr, of Sanders,
Swann & Co, one of the largest cot
ton Arms in the south, was surprised
at the figures given out by the com
missioners.
“The trade world,” he stated, “has.
been expecting a crop of at least 11,-
000,000 bales, and tbe figures as given
out by the commissioners Is over
1,760,000 less than tbe tra.de has been
expecting.
“I hardly think that the crop will
be that small. Last year the depart
ment of agriculture of. tbe United
States gave out the figures as 9,600,-
000 for the year’s supposed crop. In
reality the crop was over 10,700,000
bales, being 1,100,000 balee more than
had been anticipated by tbe govern
ment statistician.’’
