Four widows of presidents are
now living, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Gar*

According to tbe Atlanta Con

Kentucky doesn't take kindly
to the proposition about making
whiskey out of watermelons.
They want the .stuff straight and

In a recent speech Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain said: "I might die

our fathers would still remain.”
That's egotism for yon.
Editor Pendleton says that
Johnnie Lowlow, of Savannah,

Sam Small says that tbe resolu
tion passed by tbe legislature in
1879 naming Dr. Crawford Long
as a colleague of Oglethorpe in
the ball of statuary, should not be
taken as conclusive. Small says
that there is history behind that
resolution. Well, let ns have
the history. Tbe people of Goo
gle have about made up their
minds that Dr. Long was tbe
proper man to represent Georgia,
and it is pretty late now to have
this reversed, but let's have the
history —Savannah Press.
Booker Washington was refused
admission into three hotels in
8pringfield, Mass., last week.
Commenting on the incident the
Phlladeipeia Record says:
“U appears that some of the
managers of the hotels, in Spring-
field,^Mass., are more exclusive
in the selection of their guests
than is tbe present tenant in tbe
white house. In refusing to
sell Mr. Booker Washington tem
porary bed and board the Yankee
hotelkeepers have shown tbe in
vincible quality of northern social
prejudices. Tbe incident ongbt
to bavo the effect of dissipating
tbe apprehensions of our southern
brethren.”
Dlsousaing the great increase of
tbe pension burden, the Atlanta
Jonrnal says:
"No man can foretell the limit
of pension appropriations at the
rate we are going.
“Twenty-five years ago James
A. Garfield declared on tbe floor
of tbe bouse of representatives
that tbe pension appropriations
wbiob then amounted to only $30,
000,000, would rise a little higher
and in the early future would be
gin to diminish.
'•The end of tbe civil war was
only ten years gone then. Now
it has been past nearly thirty-six
years,and we are.paying five
times as mneb for pensions sa we
were when Garfield predicted that

he reached,
Work of the uaskMUftE.
We condense the'following,
giving the result of Monday's
work:
The senate finally disposed of
tbe constitutional amendment
bill, and it was ordered
transmitted immediately to tbe
bouse. Four amendments that
had been reconsided were voted
The four-year terms for
county officers were defeated, as
was also the amendment to strike
ont tbe prohibition against ban
ishment and the whippiug post.
Tbe senate alto passed the
Soldiers' Home bill, appropriating
tbe $19,500 insurance monev for
rebuilding the borne, and $16,000
additional for maintenance and
equipment during the coming
year. Senators Baker, Rush,
Dennard, Ford*, Smiley, and Wil
cox voted against the measure.
Tbe bill now goes to tbe gover.
nor for bis signature.
Tbe senate spent some time
debating a resolution by
Senator Howell, of tbe
Tbirty-fiftb, similar in purpose
to tbe Blalock resolution in the
house and providing for tbe ap
propriation of $325,800 of tbe
publio property fund to pay in
terest on the bonded debt for 1902.
Tbe senate passed this resolution
by a vote of 31 to 5. Tbe idea
was to show tbe hunse how the
senate stood on tbe matter and if
tbe Blalock resolution is passed
by the bouse it will be received as
substitute for the resolution
passed by the senate.
An amendment by Senator
8mith to exempt from taxation
farm supplies in tbe hands of the
producer was also adopted. Tbe
senate then adopted tbe bill as a
whole by a vote of 33 t. 5. It
will go at once to the house and
come np within the next day or
two.
Tbe bouse passed the mili
tary appropriation bill, bnt
cut the amendment from $30,000
to $20,000. Tbe bill was intro
duced by Mr. Grice, of Pulaski,
and was favorably recommended
by the committee.
An important action was the
passage by a vote of 34 to 7 of
the amendment by Senator Sulli
van, of the Eighteenth, giving
the legislature authority to ex
empt from taxatiou under certain
circumstances industrial enter
prises. This amendment was
killed when it was np before.
There Was a long debate over
tbe bill by Mr. Hardwick, of
Washington, to make drunken-

The following from tbe Const!
tutlon of Tuesday needs no com
ment:
"In the hones two important
bills were defeated because they
lacked five or six votes
of a constitutional major
ity, thongh tbera was n-
material opposition to them. . At
the afternoon session the speaker
had to order the doors locked in
order to hold on to a bare quorum,
and even then every matter of a
general nature that came up bad
to be tabled where there were two
or three votes against it.
It is simply inexcusable,” said
prominent member of the
house, "that the members should
absent themselves in this way.
They have got their own bills
through in many cases, and now
they bAve gone off, leaving the
other members in the lurch to take
care of their measures as best
they can. It is unfair and nu
just, and I think tbe public
ongbt to know whose these ab
sentees are, except in cases where
absence is doe to providential
eause, which, of course, makes it
excusable.”
ATTACK NO THE SOUTH
More than one bill has already
been introduced iu congress at
tacking tbe south on tbe race
question. Sume of these northern
hyenas are 'uever happy unless
they are stirring up strife be
tween tbe sections. Tbe south is
trying to solve tbe rice problem,
difficult as it Is, and will do so if
faoatics who do not know any
thing about tho situation down
here, will subside.
The Third District Baptist As
sociation, colored, of Louisiana,
recently adopted the '"following
resolutions.
Resolved, further, That we
pray the congress of the United
States not to so antagonize the
race question by a redaction of
southern representation as to stir
np race hatred in the south and
causo a repetition of the bloody
scene of tbe seventies, of which
tbe negro will be tbe material
sufferer.
Resolved, That we urge tie
negroes to lead sober, moral and
industrious lives, obey aud respect
tbelawaud cultivate tbe friend
ship of tbe southern whiles from
whom we get our daily bread.”
Tbe races in Georgia have al
ways got along well. Every
white man in tbe stale wauts to
see the uegro do well. Uulike
the north, he is given an open field
aod a fair showing here in all
the trades,receiving the same pay,
when equally expert, as a white
man. Here he works alongside of
while men, at the north they
strike if a negro wants to share
their work. That’s the differ
ence between north and south.
Hundreds of laborers in a Penn
sylvania town went
strike last week because a negro
was given a job. As a rule only
the most menial positions are
open to the uegro at tbe north
This fact is well known. There
are some exceptions, but they are
rare. Unquestionably the negroes
best friends are in the south.
The north, with eight or nine
million of negroes, would never
get along as well with, them as
we have in tbe south. And yet,
for political effect, they raise a
howl in almost every congress,
and make spread eagle speeches,
mainly for home consumption,
hoping by appealing to sectional
prejudices to perpetuate them
selves in power. This is the low
est and most despicable order ol
statesmanship, so called,
record.
A BLOOD TAX.
Salt is an absolute necessity of
liviog, and a salt tax is, therefore,
a blood tax. Even the malevo
lent genius or tariff robbery
fights shy of it, aud ventures to
give the salt trust no further shel
ter than is afforded by an impost of
$1.60 a loo on salt in bulk aod
$2 40 a ton on salt in packages.
To this extent tbe American
people are mulcted in exlraordin
ary profits for tbe salt combina
tion, which within twenty years
past, according to census bureau
returns, bas increased its watered
capital nearly five times. over,
bile increasing productioi
about 65 per cent, and cuttiog
down tbe number of salt making
establishments forty per cent
So rapacious is this combination
that, notwithstanding the
duty and bulky character of
tbe shipments, more than 200,000
tons of foreign salt come in an
nually over tbe tariff barrier
while American exports of salt
amount scarcely to « beggarly
7,000 tons from year to year.
KICK A DOG
Kick a dog and he bites yon.
He bites you and you kick him.
The mote you kick the mote
he bites and the more he bites
the more you kick. Each
makes the other worse.
A thin body makes thin
blood. Thin blood makes a
thin body. Each makes the
other worse. If there is going
to be a change the help must
come from outside.
Scott’s Emulsion is the right
help. It breaks up such a
combination. First it sets the
stomach right Then it en
riches the blood. That
strengthens the body and it
begins to grow new flesh.
A strong body makes rich
blood and rich blood makes a
strong body. Each makes the
other better. This is the way
Scott’s Emulsion puts the thin
body on its feet Now it can
get along by itself. No need
of medicine. '

funeral once in Pickens county,
Georgia' He was a poor *000 gal
lus’ fellow, whose breeches struck
him uuder the arm pits and bit
him at the other eud at about tbe
knee. They buried him in tbe
midst of a marble country. They
cut through solid marble to make
his grave, aud yet toe tombstone
they put above him was from Ver
moot. They buried him in tbe
heart of a pine forest, and yet the
pine coffin was imported from Cin
cinnati. They buried him in
touch of an iron miue, and yet the
nails in his coffin and the iron iu
the shovel that dug his grave were
imported from Pittsburg. They
buried him iu the best sheep graz

from the north. The south did
not furnish a thing on earth for

TEACHERS’ DEPARTMENT.
O. S. DEAN, Editor.
Tmefecn That We Meet.
Mary F. Fitzgerald, discussing
the above subject in the “Teach
,r> ’ World," says: “Teachers may
bo divided iuto three classes; those
who teach abd don't care who
cnows it; those who avoid the
neutioo of the word school rfs If it
were vulgar; those who talk vehe
mently and usually very dryly,
about school and nothing
slse.
Tbe first two divisions of the
profession are to be found every
where during the summer mouths;
tbe third stays at home.
The members of the first d>via
ion are usually charming; well
read, well bred aud well fed
Having no (ear that they will be
mistaken for anything else but
what they are, they do not look
upon their neighbors witbsucpic
ton, fearing they may also beloug
to tbe army of martyrs.
On the contrary long experience
hae taught them that tbe up-to-
date teacher out of 6chool is one of
the most congenial acquaintances
im«ginable. Their travels, their
reading, their traiued observa
tion have provided them with
topics innumerable for conversa
tion. Having so many emer
gencies to meet during their
w« rking period, nothiog io the
way of tbe bnforseen finds them
unprepared, so they seldom have
troubles to narateand bore people
with. What other people worry
over they laugh and make light
of.

The members of the second di
vision panoply themselves iu what
they fancy to be a rather exclusive
air. They have not yet learned,
or perhaps will not admit, that to
anyone who spends her time in a

And verily a conscientious, up-
to-date, faithful teacher is

ashamed" of his profession. There
remain a few who regard a school
tenubei as a harmless, acconiuio
dating, unimportant personage, a
good thing to have around but
not in any ma*erial way affecting
tbe real life aud character of tbe
community; but those who can
appreciate tbe value of the great
forces tbat operate in the making
of history know full well tbat tbe
school teacher is a factor eo potent
aod significant tbat he can by no
means be worked out of the equa
tion. One reason to be assigned
for this is the fact that the teacher
has beguu to assert himself, not
arrogantly, but by maktog him
self worthy, worthy of his profes
sion, worthy the respect and ad
miration of men aod women in all
the walks ot life. Cultivation,
scholarship, versatility, skill, tact,
are more evident among teachers
today than ever before; and if tbe
brakes can be applied eoon enough
to prevent men and women of tbe
profession from becoming
“cranks" on “methods," tbe
teacher of the twentieth century
will be able to combine tbe strong
personality and classic knowledge
of the ancient pedagogue, who,
