THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PUBLIC
OFFICE.
Men one a certain definite duty to
their government and its official func
tions This is particularly true tf they
have been selected to carry out some
of its plans. Wben any man accepts
a public office and subscribes to the
oath, with which it ts Invested
then becomes a public servant to the
limit of the powers of his office.
It Is neither proper nor necessary
for any men iu that condition to re
voke their oath of office for the pur
pose of carrying out some obligation
that they bare assumed elsewhere
either among purely social organiza
tion* or associations, or In purely
private agreements with friends. Ifj
be feels that bis oblignlfon to any so
ctety of any kind conflicts with hist
official duties be must either relesse
himself from the private obligation
and perform his official duty fearlessly
and sincerely or resign the office.
This matter was brought to the at
tention of the state recently by the
expulsion of certain Atlana council
men from a private organliation be
ause they acted In accord with the
oeth of their office and against the
tenets or mandates of the body with
-which they bad become affiliated'
These men bare done properly their
duty. They will not suffer nearly as
much as the organization, which ex
pelled them from its membership.
THE MAN WHO SUCCEEDS.
Very few people consider it really
worth while to give attention to de
tail. This is the foundation on which
more business fortunes have been
built than thoseon speculation or
what they call the breaks of luck.
The man that masters the details of
«oy proposition and concentrates to
an extent that will give him an oppor ;
tunity to use that knowledge Is the
man that wins.
The general public pays very little
attention to detail but picks out one
salient or notable fact and let tbe
other matters ake care of themselves.
Ask any man, who went to tbe base-
ball game yesterday what was the

they are somewhat Interested and
many will not have any Idea about
peril to orderly procedure and
government.
It Is for this reason perhaps, that
men should recognise conditions as
they exist and seek to bestir them
selves to create t wholesome nod'ef
fective sentiment against this form of
outluwry In all of Its manifold mani
festation s. No nation la secure when
its people are stirred up by prejudice,
passion or resentment to seek some
thing that Is beyond the pale of on
ganlted right. When we degenerate
Into lawlessness, we have paved the
road for mors of It, for more violent
forms of It.
People should consider the future
as welt as the present and tbe past,
our activities will make e status for
those, who come after and our
strength to resist the temptations of
lawlessness, no matter what form they
assume, will strengthen aad emu
those who come after to keep within
tbe beutea path of strict honesty and
worthiness of purpose

LENGTHENING LIFE.
The New York 8ttto Charities Aid
Association has Just published tlgur-
es showing that, slthougb somebody
dies every four minutes, the average
individual ts stronger and lives long
er than formerly, and that the “life
time or the race" Is lengthening- "We
have a long dlatance to travel before
we set 'back to Methuaaleh,' but we
are on the way." Jubilates the com
menting New York Times, and goes
on to aay:
“The estimate for our own
country as a whole is that there
lias been an extension of four
years iu the life of the average
citizen iu the last eleven yeara.
Tbe atatiatica for Massachusetts
and New York, come with a cheer
ing message, for they show that
the average ‘expectation of life'
has been Increased by many years
In .Massachusetts K is shown that
tbe expectation of life baa in
creased from 35.5 years in 1708 to
55.2 years in 1821. In New York
City, which has some of tbs sa
lubrious attributes of a health
resort, the death rate has been
practically cut ill two iu a quar
ter or a century. It is not beyond
reasonable hope that It will be
possible evenlnally to stamp out
utterly the preventable diseases.’’
This is all very well and highly de
sirable in its way. It is perfectly
proper social object to lengthen life

Tbe stage Is set for tbe reverse of

PECAN CROP SHORT THIS YEAR
The men with fine pecan nuts this
year will find them very profitable
Indications point to a very short crop
Texas reports less than twenty per
cent of a normal crop and the Inter
vening territory given to this Industry
is universally short. This Immediate
section, known as tbs best pecan
country in the world ts far short of g
normal crop. Estimate* from experl
enced growers give thirty per cent of
a normal yield ss a most satisfactory
outcome, under present conditions.
The fancy nuts this year ought to
mount to prices never before known,
not even during tbe period of the war,
when everything Jumped hilariously
It Is expected that there will be a
very determined effort to make the
crop pay for the shortage end If pric
es that are expected materialise there
will be enough money to make the
growers safe from real losses. There
are some around ThomasvUle, who
claim fifty per rent In their specializ
ed groves. If this comes true they
will clean up more than tbe average
for s regular crop

NEW LIGHT ON NOAH'S FLOOD.
Every now and then somebody runs
across a clay tablet with inscriptions
from the union of the rich son of an
Americun blacksmith and the dlscour
aged and disheartened daughter »t
some old European prince.

it looks now that It was the Babylon
ian* who borrowed It from the Jews.
A cuneiform tablet deciphered by
Professor Clay of Yale tells the story
of tba flood, with additions which do
hoi appear in the Bible. It Is a tablet
written by a "Janlor scribe in the land
of Arnurra whose name was Aiag-
Aya," He was a playmate of Abra
ham and did Ms writing some centu
ries before Moses come along. What
be wrote, therefore, antedates even the

ancient documents which even 1u his
days, were getting frayed at the edges
or, to be more correct, getting a little
cracked.
It was about 1968 B. C. that this Ju

sat down to preserve tbs crumbling
remains of a story written long before
his grandfather wsa a grandson. Ha
dated his copy the twenty-eighth day
of the month of Shebet In the eleventh
year of Ammliadugs, which, being In

B. C. But the original document Do

Professor Clay has only a corner of
the tablet on which young Aiag made
bis marks-
This tells—in a somewhat broken
and fragmentary style,—tbe wonder

of the people multiplying and tba land
