Is again in The president is taking his va cation at Oyster Bay. The breaking ct beat records is an every day occurrence now. It is said that Aguinaldo is coming to this country to lecture, ) Colorado celebrated the 4tb with a blizzard and howling enow storm. Bailey simply made a spectacle of himself. Thct was all; and it was enough. The work of the pension bureau in Washington, like the fabled stream, goes on and on forever. How would it do to form a ring and let Bailey and Beveridge and Tillman and McLaurin fight it cot to a finish? The republicans are becoming alarmed at the demand of the peo pie for legislation against the trusts. A petrified ship, 1200 feet long, has been discoverd in Alaska. It is said to be Noah’s ark. Well, let it go at that. And now the great packing houses have formed a trust. They will dictate the price of all meats Moral: Make your meat at home Some one has written an essuy on the “Advantages of Poyerty;’ no use to write anything about its disadvantages. We all under stand that. Eev. 6. B. Dickey, pastor of Grace church of Atlanta, has been elected president of Emory College to succeed President Dowman,who resigned. The coronation of Bdv'ard next month will be a much less elabo rate affair than the one fixed for the 26;h of June, but which was postponed on account of the king' illness. Choate, pronounced Shots by Hogg of Texas, made a bad break in London when he quit a party of Americans who were celebrting the 4th, to join the Prince Wales. It was a species of toady ism unworthy of the American minister at the court of St. James, Have yon bad a kindness shown? Pass it on. ’Twas not given for you alone— Let it travel down the years. Let it wipe another’s tears. Till in heaven tbe deed appears, Pass it on. Strikers stopped a funeral pro cession in 8an Francisco recently in the street, beeaueo a non-union man was driving one of the carri agee. This is running the anion business into the ground. The following is quoted from the letter addressed by Acting President Hchalk Burger i>i the Traoevaal and Geoeral Botha to the burghere: Now that there is peace, and al though it is not a peace such wo longed for, yet let ns abide where God hae led us. We can. with a clear conscience, declare that for two and a half yean onr people have carried on the strag gle in a manner almost unknown to history. Let ue now grasp each other's hands, for another great struggle lies before us—a struggle for the spiritual and racial pros perity and welfare of our people, Citing aside all feelings ef bit terness, let ns learn to forget and forgive, so that the deep wounds caused by this war may be healed NINETEEN HUNDREO AND FOUR. Speaking of the nomination in 1904, the Washington Post says: The 8ontb dictated the presi dential nominations of 1892,1896, and 1900. It will exert the same power iq 1904. In 1892 itinsisted on Mr. Cleveland, knowing of a certainty that he was a gold- standard man and bad not an iota of tolerance for silver. Io 1896 it preferred Mr. Bryan to the logical candidate, Richard P. Bland 1900, when the silver cause was but a ghost, a hoodoo, it again de manded Mr. Bryan and forced 16 to 1 down the relactant throats of the Northern Democrats. What will it do io 1904?” The Macon Telegraph in notic ing tbe above, eaye that the south has never dictated a nomination since the war'except to choose be tween ckndidates presented by the north. Thie is quite true, and the same duty will likely devolve upon the southern delegates in tbe next national convention. In the performance of this duty southern delegates will shape the result of the next presidential election. In the last two contests for president the eonth has followed men and measures which did not commend themselves to many of the ablest men m tbe democratic party. Most of these, however, were loyal to the nominee and voted for Bry an. It is not likely that their par ty loyalty will be subjected to any such test again in 1904. There will be no free silver or bust, or populistic platitudes in tbe next national platform of tbe demo cratic party. The party will go into the campaign on new, live and living issues which will ap peal to every democrat in the land The next fight will be made by a united, not a disunited party. At least the outlook forecasts such a result, and all the indications are that old sores will be healed, that sound money democrats and free silver democrats, and all other kinds of democrats—if such there be—will stand shoulder to shoul der iu a common cause and .fight ing a common foe, in nineteen handred and fonr. So mote it be. RAINEY HAS REFORMED. Dawson News: While we waz up to Atlanta the other day a help ing to nominate Joe Terrell, tbe office boy slipped in a paragraph endorsing the Kansas City plat form. We desire to say that it bae been some ewe .-ears eince we endorsed tbe KanBae. Jitv platform or touched a drop. Within two or three months the Federal army of occupation in the Philippine archipelago will have been reduced to 18,000 officers and men. This is regarded by Gen eral Chaffee as an ample force for all emergencies in the islands. If the garrison of 18,000 is to be regarded as a permanent feature of Philippine acquisition the add ed cost of the islands from a mere ly military view point may be fairly estimated. The troops in the islands mast be ehanged every two years, eince no American could endure tho tropical climate for a longer period without per manent physical injury. . This moans that from 35,000 to 40,000 men most be constantly under arms, one-balf at the antipodes and tbe other half recuperating in the United 8tates. These troops will cost not less than $40,000,000 a year, with an additional charge, varying from $5,000,000 to $10,- • 000,000, for tho cost of transporta tion on land and eta. Congressman Griggs, who is in New York, said to in associated press reporter: f Our campaign ’ ill commence at once and the isnt'e will be tariff- nurtured truste. The Republicans cannot satisfy the people by hav ing their president tour the coun try talking agaiose the trusts They have sinned away their day of grace by refusing to consider traet legislation, when they had ample opportunity and when ev ery Democrat in congress would have joined them." Judge Griggs is chairman of the congressional campaign commit tee, and ho proposes to make hot for tbe republicans. The lumber industry in this country is a giant. There are only throe other Industries ahead of it, the iron and steel, the textile and the meat packing, iu the order named. In 1901, according to the census, there were 33,035 lumber ing establishments in the country with an invested capital of $611 611,524. The wage earners om ployed in these establishments nombered 283,260, and the? earn ed wages amounting to $104,640, 491. The annual value of tbe lumber products were $566,832 984.—News. Birmingham News: There room and need in thie country for a conservative party that stands between the radicalism of Repub licanism opon the one band and tho vagaries of Popnliem upon the other. The doctrines of Jefferson rationally interpretted afford the basic support for such a party With tbe Democrats together and their fighting clothes on there be some lively music in tbe com ing campaign. . It looks somewhat paradoxical to bear people prating abont har mony in the democratio party, and in the same breath denouncing Cleveland as a “traitor," and lambasting.every democrat in'the Miles may expect the nsual rep rimand for something said in his 4th of July speech at Philadelphia. A PERFECT STORAGE BATTERY. Mr. Thomas A. Edison says he has at last solved the problem of a perfect electrioal storage battery, upon which be bae been ai work unremittingly for the last three years. From time to time wa have heard concerning this bat tery, at second hand. Now, how ever, we have Mr. Edison's own statement respecting it, in a sign ed article in tbe North American Review. The article, by the way, Is charmingly free from technical terms and vague allusions to what may bo produced at some future time; it is clear, simple, earnest, yet unaffected statement of what has been accomplished by the grea^ inventor in'his search for a storage battery adapted to all modern uses but especially adapt ed to the propulsion of electric automobiles. The battery, Mr. Edison says, is light, cheap and practically in destructible. With twenty-one cells, Tveighiug 332 pounds, he has sent an automobile, weighing with its load 1,075 ponnds, 'over sixty-two miles of country road, and at tbe end of the ron the bat tery showed 83 per cent, of its original power. This was one charging of tbe battery. The same vehicle ran eighty-five miles on a heavy toad with steep grades with one charging of the battery On a good road aud favorable con ditions it would easily have made 100 miles. The battery has been charged aud discharged more than 700 times, yet shows no sign of deterioration. The life of the or dinary lead battery is very short, becce the heavy expense of opera ting a vehicle with one of them I think the storage battery carriage, by tbe aid of the battery, will come ultimately within the reach of tbe man moderate means," says Mr. Edi eon. The initial outlay may be $700 aud upwards," but odco the vehicle has beeo purchased tbe item of expense will be email Unlike the horse, it will not eat its head off when not in use. There will be no bay and oats to bny nor will there be the need for man to take care of the vehicle Tbe chauffeur, an objectionable and expensive feature of the pres ent day automobile, will be done away with. The electrical appa ratus is so simple that anybody handle it, and the electrical vehicle has mnch to recommend it above others in various ways, is noiseless, practically, and is easily stopped in an emergency The perfecting of the storage battery by Mr. Edison means a great deal for both town and country. With vehicles cheapen ed and batteries practically inde stractible, the auto-vehicle bound to spring into favor with the moderately well-to do.—Morn ing News. MILLION DOLLAR DEPOT FOR ATLANTA. Tbe Atlanta Constitution throws op the sponge, as to tbe feasibili ty of getting a new depot on the site of the old one, aud appeals to the roads to agree on some other place and plans for a union sta tion commensurate with the wants and demands of tbe city. It is to be hoped the roads will heed this appeal. While many will regret that the old familiar eurroaudings pposite the Kimball would no longer greet the tired, dusty and thirsty traveler, yet all would hail the announcement with pleasure, that a new and up to-date union station was to be built in Atlanta. Tbe old depot has* been an eye sore for years. Atlanta has long since outgrown it. It is a dis grace to the “Gate City" of the Sonth, aud a constant menace to life and limb. It is unfortunate for the state that the new station could not be built on its property This fact may, and probably will affect the leasing of tbe state road when the present lease ex pires. However the interests of the state, great as they are, should not stand in the way of a new station. It should be built, and promptly built. Tbe railroads centering in Atlanta should erect million dollar depot. They could afford it, and it would pay them, in the end, to erect such a structure There is nothing tbe ■ matter with Georgia democracy. It is all right. . The popnlists, adopting tbe ref erendum plan, are voting by pos tal card for a governor of Georgia. The unmberof postal cards spoiled will not be y*ry great. Editors of the Weekly Press will meet in Quitman next Tuesday and the “boys" will be given royal welcome by the big hearted progressive citizens of Qnitm&n and Brooks county. This is the season of the year, says tbe News, when tbe pastor of the church begins his two mouths 1 vacation, and the Old Adversary, of tbe brimstone place, works harder than ever, day and night. No man or woman of tbe hnin blest sort can really be strong, pure, and good without the world being the hotter for it r without somebody being helped and com forted by the very existence of his goodness.—Philip Brooks. ' The first bale of cotton, of the crop of 1902, was raised by W. P. Adams, of Medina county, Texas, ginned aft Devine Juno 28th, and received at 8an Antonio, on Jane 30th. This is an early first bale bat not the earliest Texas has pro daced.—Texas Farm and Ranch. According to Congressman Liv ingston, the direct appropriations of congress which were recently made, including tbe. isthmian ca nal, aggregate $800,193,837, and there remains $259,373,215 to be added for contracts previously provided for, making the total $1,059,577,052—another “billion dollar session." The surest and quickest way stop a fuss is to stop talking about it. The democrate are fools if they waste their time talking abont who was wrong.

The following eppigrammatic&l periods are from President. Porterj Yale College: “Young men, you. are the architects of yourowu for tunes. Rely on your own etreugtb o! body aud soul. Take for yo*ir star self reliance Inscribe on your banuer: ‘Luck is a fool. Pluck is a hero.* Don't take too much advice. Keep at the helm and eteer your own ship and remember that the art of commanding is to take a fare share of the work. Think well of yourself. 8trike out. Assume your own position. Put potatoes Iu a cart, go over a rough road, and the email ones go tbe bottom. Rise above the envious and jealous. Fire above the mark you intend to bit. En ergy, invibclble determination, with a right motive, are the levere that move tbe world. Don't swear. Don't deoieve. Don't marry until you can support a wife. Be civil. Read the papers. Make money and do good with it. Love your God aud fellow men. Love truth and virtue- Love yoar country and obey its laws." Pulpit and Bench. In introducing Judge Sulzer- berger, of Philadelphia, at a re cent banquet after several rabbi's had spokeu,~says an exchange, Dr, Henry M. Leipziger told this story: “Two ladies once bad a dispute as to which was tbe most influen tial, the clergy or the bench, “I think the beucb is the most influential," said one, “because tbe judge can say, “Yon shall be hanged." “But," said the other, “the clergyman can say, “You shall be damned." “Ah, yes," said the firet, 'but when tbe judge says “You shall be banged, you are baDgedl" ding to Idea s. In an address to the students of Johns Hopkins University, Dr* Gould, of New York, pleadiog for intelligent civic patriotism said: “Holdfast to your ideals. You will iearu much now nuknowo when yon actively enter the larger field of citizen effort, much that will depress and sadden you iu your estimate of men. > But dou't become cynic. The educated cynic is the most useless man alike. Don't go to extremes if yon look for practical accomplishment. The Teu Com maud aieuts have still to be read in churches. The old world moves slowly and its pro gress is by stages, uot by leaps and bounds." It is eveu so. We should hold fast to our ideals, though they may never be reached. Ideals are like the mountain peaks that gleai in the azure heavens. If we aim high our efforts will at least rise above tbe low level. But in keep ing in mind tbe ideal tbe practi cal should not be forgottenr We shall come mnch uearer reachiug the ideal through tbe slow pro cesses of tbe practical. And let it be remembered that tbe world is better today than it ever was be fore, and that its steady march is toward the suulight. The BUlvilie Banner says: “It's our opinion tbe race problem could be easily solved by more plowing and less preaching." This section ought to be repre sented at tbe meeting of the state horticultural society 10 Macon on the 6.h and 7ib of August'. And what is a girl? A morsel of ribbon and feathers and lace; A mischievous elf with an angel's face! A thorn that will tease yon, A rose that will please von, will-o'-the-wisp for eluding your chase— And that is a girl! And what is a gir ? A riddle whose meaning no mortal can guess; With “No" on her tongue when her her heart would say “Yes!" Half artful, half simple. Half pout and half dimple. Whose eyes will betray what her lips wonld repress— And that isji girl. The president is getting alaim- ed and is crying out against trusts. But tbe trouble is bis party doesn't join in tbe cry.

How Hlgk Wm the Tower of Babel f The actual height at which the last stone of that famous structure, the Tower of Babel, rested cannot, 01 count of the remoteness of the times at which it is said to have existed, ever become more than a matter of merest conjecture. Herodotus, who lived about 1,700 years after that "great spiral way to heaven” is said to have been at tempted, says that he saw at Babylon a structure consisting of eight towers raised one above another, each 75 feet in height, but whether this ruin the remains of the Tower of Babel it was even then impossible to ascertain. Herodotus, usually minutely exact in his writldk, leaves us in ignorance as to how the upper level of each of these 75 foot towers was reached from the level below. As might be expected, even In tradi tion, a wide difference of opinion exists as to the height of the tower. Most ori entalists maintain that God did not put stop to the work until the tower had reached a height of 10,000 fathoms, about 12 miles. In Ceylonese tradition It is said to have been as high as 20,000 elephants, each standing one above the other. St. Jerome asserts on th thority of persons who had examined the ruins that It did not reach a height exceeding four miles. Other state ments are still more extravagant Counoil Proceedings Council Rooms. July 7, 1902. Connell met in regular session. Mayor Culpepper, presiding.

Bill Wye oa Life Insurance. The late BUI Nye’s Indorsement of life Insurance Is probably the most characteristic paragraph to be quoted from his writings: “In these days of dynamite and swift changing presidential administrations and dark tunnels through which a glneer goes groping his way at 25 miles per hour, these days of tumbling signs of tbe times and tipsy telegraph poles, live wires and dead repairers; these days when the politician and the dead ly bridge policeman with his puU He down together under the influence of the same stimulant; these days when death lurks In the air we breathe, the earth we tread, the food we eat, the water—the water we bathe In—1 say it behooves us to look well to our Insur ance and onr future state, and I take pleasure In certifying and saying to whom these presents may come that since X became fully Insured my health has Improved so much that it is a sub ject for profound congratulation on part and tbe deepest disgust the part of those who would naturally inherit my vast wealth.” Kteplng the Head Clean. Keeping the head perfectly clean Is great aid to health. An exchange tells distinguished physician who, hav ing spent much of his time at quaran tine, said that a person whose bead was thoroughly washed every day rare ly took contagions diseases, but when the hair was allowed to become dirty and matted it was hardly possible to escape Infection. Many persons find speedy relief for nervons headache by washing the head thoroughly In weak soda water. We have known cases al* most whoUy cured in ten minutes by this simple remedy. A friend finds it the greatest relief in case of “rose cold,” tbe cold symptoms entirely leav ing the eyes after one thorough wash ing of the hair. The head should be thoroughly dried afterward, and drafts of air should be avoided for a little while. Coffee, with an area of 1,113 niiles. Is the largest county in Georgia.
