One of the advantages of travel, foreign and domestic, is the impres sion one gets as to the astonishing number of good people in the world. They who get the worst Impressions of human society are the readers of the daily news who never go outside their own town or country, asserts the Christian Register. In traveling, one meets the Innumerable private citi zens with their wives and children, who are so good that they are never mentioned in the news of the day. 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 British territory. 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.

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.

The building will cost 6300,000, and nearly 200 car loads of Georgia marble will be used. Vermont was a strong competitor, with favorable freight rate, but the superiority of Georgia marble won. • • • Bonded Warehouse for Atlanta. A United States bonded warehouse Is to be established In Atlanta. The only question at present is whether this new building, which Is the result ot a growing demand ot local Import ers and the tremendous Increase In bus\bess, will be erected and support ed by Atlanta or New York capital . This matter has been under consid eration for some time, and the neces sary correspondence to that end has passed between the local officials and the authorities of that particular branch of the government • • • Long Walt for a Fortune. By a,recent investigation Mrs. Isaac Dolllhan, of Vincennes, Indiana, dis covered that a snug fortune, now amounting to $10,000, has been on de posit tor her In the court house at Dal las, Paulding count)', since 1861.

Through the Paulding county circuit clerk It has been learned that all have secured their shares of the estate ex cepting Mrs. Dolllhan. * * • 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 delegates are now being prepared. • • • Rule Nisi for Higgs. 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 nee circuit, and forwarded to Gover nor Candler. Solicitor Gqneral Delacey sent the paper to the governor in order that it might be submitted to the atorney gen eral for his approval or for any sug gestions that he might see fit to make The governor forwarded the paper to Attorney General Wright Saturday, and It will be returned to Montgomery county in time to be filed this week. This rule nisi, which will be filed and heard before Judge D. M. Roberts, asks for Sheriff Higgs’ suspension from office pending the hearing, that he be punished tor contempt and that be be directed to show cause why he should not'be removed Iraqi office and bis office declared vacant. • • • 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. GEORGIA SOUTHERN & FLORIDA RAILWAY.

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.
