Sounds like there will be 6omething doing in ♦he good old Empire League. A strong, healthy vigorous man under the influence of liquor is one of the most pitiful sights we see, and we see it quite frequently. The Georgia legislature is regard ed as an unknown quantity . Even at that it wont be any worse than some we hare heard of. Roddenbery is right, there is noth ing more Invigorating and refresh ing than a two days fishing trip on the banks of the Ochlocknee. The Athens Banner thinks that 'Technicalities” may keep Georgia from befag declared All-Southern ChamploBs this year in baseball i PREVENTING MISCEGENATION. Congressman Roddenbery, of Georgia, has introduced a bill in the house the object of which is to pro hibit the marriage of white people and negroes in this country. In support of his proposition he pro poses to introduce the testimony produced in the recent trial of the negro Jack Johnson, fo: white sla very in the city of Chicago. It te not improbable that this evidence will throw some illuminating fea tures into the matter. At any rate it will be highly interesting regard ing the matter in hand. The bill of Mr. Roddenbery is a meritorious one, preventing as it does the mar riage of whites and negroes any where in the United States. Of course all congressmen would n urally favor it, except perhaps a few who allow political considerations to warp their better judgment and deaden higher instincts. Ali of the Southern States and some of the Northern States forbid miscegena tion of the races. The proposed Federal law would apply to all. Naturally there are very few people in the United States who have any desire to form a matrimonial alli ance with a negro. Nevertheless, there have always been a few, so degraded that they have done so. In a very few cases even white women have married negro men—which, of course, was a most disgraceful and revolting performance. There is' good reason to believe that congress will pass the Roddenbery anti-mis- cegenatlon law, the merits of which are so natural and obvious that they; need no argument to support them. The law should he made sufficiently strong to accomplish the purpose desired. It should not only make the marriage of whites and blacks illegal, but criminal. So that those who attempted such an alliance would be severely punished for it. There is no chance in any event for any general miscegenation of the races in this country such as has caused degeneration among the populations of Mexico and Central America. The white people in this country have too much self-respect to lower their race standards in such a manner. Nevertheless the ..Rod denbery bill is a good cue and should be put through with a rush. —Rome Tribune-Herald.

The steel trust is a philanthropic institution, for the President said so, when he remarked that for pure love and patriotism it manufactured eottvn ties for practically nothing. He forgot to add that it makes enough on other .hinge to manu facture anything the people want- ad and fben get away with several tomtoms of profit. The report of the third year of activity of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication ot Hookworm shows commendable progress. A survey of foreign countries shows a general infection of those parts of the earth lying between 36 degrees north latitude and 30 de grees south latitude, a belt 66 de grees in width, encircling the earth. \N ithin this belt Is included a con siderable part of the United States; eleven states in particular have been found heavily infected. In Texas 83 counties have the in fection, and of the 884 counties iu the other ten states infection has been found in 796. It is presuma ble that the remaining 88 counties will also be found infected when the work is extended to them. In all, 238,755 persons were treated at an expenditure per person treated of 77 cents, as compared with 140,37* persons treated in 1911 at an aver age expenditure per person at $1.05. and 1 4,443 treated in 1910 at in average expenditure per person cf $4.66. In the three years a total of 393,566 persons have been treat ed for uncinarasis. The total expenditure of the com mission for year was $184,671.60, in addition to which the sum of $22,4S2.44 was spent by counties and $19,972.52 by states for fight ing the hookworm, making a grand total of $227,126.56. The micro scopic examinations made in 1912 numbered 326,951, as against 90,- 724 in 1911 and 14,789 in 1910. NEWSPAPER MEN WONT TELL. It is a well-founded axiom that newspaper men wont tail. The fact was again demonstrated only tne other day in Forth Worth, Texas. The Record of that city published the story of the return of an indict ment against a county official. The information was news, and was ab- eolutely correct, hut It happened that the publication was made be fore the indictment had deliver d to the clerk of court for record. The judge called on three report ers to tell where and how they ob tained the information. The report ers naturally, properly and prompt ly refused to tell. The judge then sent them to Jail for an hour each for <ontempt of court Thus the law was vindicated, the judge was enabled to blow off a little steam, the Record was given another story, a better one than the first, and the reporters became sort of demigods throughout the length and breadth of Texas. Over in Augusta, Oa., a year or -o ago, T. J. Hamilton, the city edi tor of the Herald, refused to tell the police commission the name of the policeman who disclised some important ‘•inside’' news to him. He, too, was punished for contempt. A newspaper man who will di vulge the source of his information when that source is under fire is not destined to be a newspaper man very long. For that reason newj- 1 aper men, from cub reporters up to editors-in-chief, enjoy the confidence of public men the world over. Se crets of business, politics, love and war are disclosed to them, and ael- dem, if ever, is that trust abused. Newspaper men are generally ready to talk—as apt at conversation, in fact, as they are at writing—but they do r.ot “give away” matters of confidence which have been reposed it. them. It has been seriously proposed, right here in Georgia, that a law be enacted which will make dealings between newspaper men and their "sources of information’’ as sacred and os inviolable as confidences be- j tween lawyer and client, between [doctor and patient. We doubt the | possibility of passing such a law, i and are also skeptical about its j legality being sustained, but a law I of that character is not at all necc3- jsary.

VALUABLE PLATS AND MAPS OF TALLULAH FALLS MISSING Suit of State Vs. Georgia Railway & Power Company To Come Up Monday at Clayton. Atlanta, May 20.—The archives of the State of Georgia have been lifted with a fine-tooth comb for original plats and grants affecting •ho property at Tallulah Falls, to be used In connection with the suit ot the State of Georgia vs. the Geor gia Railway and Power Company, which will open next Monday Clayton, i.i Rabun county. The snlt is one of the most Im portant ever tried in Georgia, be cause of the fact the lands claimed by the state are now occupied by the Power Company as sites the principal parts of Its plant, which Is about ready to deliver elec trical energy to practically all the principal cities, towns and Indus trial enterprises of North Georgia. The land In dispute is the keystene In the f27,000,000 electrical enter prise, Involving the entire business structure of an Institution already erected, and closely associated with the industrial destinies of over half a million people.
