Waycross Herald: One of our readers tells the following: A cer tain woman who was a great admir er of Shakespeare, was very much wrought u over the idea that it was Bacon who wrote curtain things that were attributed to Shakespeare. On one occasion she said to her husband that when she got to heaven she would ask him about. Her husband quietly stated in a soothing manner, “Mary, ho may net be there.” She quickly took in the situation and re plied, “All right then, John, you ask him about it.’’ You r«u never cure dyspepsia by di ning Whut your body needs is plenty >>f good food properly digested, Then It jour stomach will not digest it, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will.

Columbus, Ga., July 1.—Applica tion for charter for the Columbus and Arlington Kailway Company was published this morning, tiie proposed road to he built from here to Arling ton, Ga., in the southwest corner ot the state, ninety miles away. The incorporators ot the new road are J. F. Hanson, John M. Egan, T. D. Kline and other gentlemen who are well known through their con nection with the Ceutral of Georgia ruilway. The personnel of the in corporators shows that the new road will lie a part of the Central’s grow ing and vigorous system, The new road will run through the counties of Calhoun, Kandolph, Stew- ert, Chattahoochee and Muscogee. The petition for charter explains that the road is to be built from Arling ton to Cutbbert, from Cuthbert to Lumpkin, and from Lumpkin to Co lumbus. The capital stock of the company will be $500,000. The principal office of the company will be in Columbus. The completion of this project will give Columbus a straight line to Tal lahassee, the capital of Florida, as the Georgia Pme, which runs from Bainbridge to Arlington, is now ex tending from Bainbridge on the south to Tallahassee. This will be but one beneficial result of building this road, however, as it is confident ly believed that the guage on the Columbus and Home will be broad ened and the road extended to New- nan, thus giving the Central rmlway a direct route from Chattanooga to Florida. This has always impressed railroad men as a feasible and prac tical route and the for a charter for the Columbus and Arlington Rail way Company would indicate that the Ceutral railway fully recognizes this fact. Building the Columbus and Arling ton will uot only place Columbus on a through trunk line from the west to Florida, but will open to the oily one of tiie best sections of Georgia, a territory wbioh in many respects has been almost inaccessible heretofore. MIIHK VOTES TO KI.Kcr UHKHIIlIvYT. Leslie a Weekly. It w,ill take fifteen more votes to elect the next president than were re quired at the last election of McKin ley. Under the reapportionweut act which goes into operation cu March 4, 1903, the membership of the bouse of representatives and the - eleotorial college is increased to the extent of twenty nine. There were 447 mem bers iu the eleotorial college which chose President McKinley. There will be 47(1 in the body which will choose his successor iu 1904, ami this number will be further increased if any* of the Territories should be ad mitted to Statehood in the interval. The States of the North Atlantic seaboard gaiu nine votes in the eleo- torial college by the new allotment (three of which go to New York), the sixteen ex-slave States gain ten, and thw middle West ami far West also gain ten. As the States increase and the elec' torial college expands, the chance for the dominance of any particular state grows less and less. New York was “pivotal” in 1844, 1848, 1880, 1884,' 1888, hut Cleveland in 1892 and Mc Kinley in 1896 and 1900 would have been elected if New York whioh the carried, had gone against them. In 1876, however, when Hays had a lead of ou.lv one vote in tiie elector* ■al college, aud when Tildeu carried New York, the little State of Colo rado, which was admitted that year— which the democrats could easily have kept out, aud which they prob ably would have kept out if they had thought it would be on the other side iu the election—may he sai l to have been “pivotal.” The eleotorial col lege had 369 members in 1876. It had 447 iu 1900. It will have 476 in 1904, while it Oklahoma or any other Territory be admitted to State hood before then the number will be greater. Manifestly, as the elector al college increases in size, the mar gins for the successful candidates for president will have a tendency to broaden, and no single State, howev er large, will ordinarily he able to claim for itself any especial domi nance in dictating the result. AX ALABAMA BA BY 11 IT H FOl R 1.KBS. Physicians in Alabama are taking much interest in the case of the four legged clrtld to whom Mary Maddox, a negress, gave birth at Opelika on May’24th. The baby is a well-devel oped male child. One pair of legs are iu the ordinary position, and, like the arms, are wOll formed. The extra pair of legs are near the arms, and while quite well formed, are small. The feet on the extra legs are regularly formed with toes and toenails, but have the ap pearance of belonging to a sickly, child. The child is robust and healthy, with all the faculties of an ordinary child. The child has been examined by leading physicians of the stale and pronounced healthy in every thing except the extra pair of limbs, lie lias good use of his regular limbs, but seems unable to control the oth ers. The physicians, after a careful examination, said that it the child liveB, which seems altogether proba ble at this time, he will eventually get control of them, as there are about the same muscles and liga mems in them that are fouud in a cub hear of the same age. Th rusands of people have gone to Opelika to view the freak, of whom the parents seem to he very fond. Several theories are advanced to account for the monstrosity. One of them is that the mother was fright ened by a great black hear during the street fair in Opelika last fall. Dr. Williamson, a stroug believer m the Daiwinian theory, declares that the case is simply a retrogression of mankind—a step backward—and that the child demonstrates that the hu man race came from the monkey family. The features of the child are regu lar. They are those of the typical African, with the large mouth, flat nose and kinky haw. Already the father of the child, John Maddox, is arranging to place him on exhibition, believing that he has the greatest human curiosity ev er produced. He is awailiug the highest bidder, and as soon as the child and mother are strong enough they will take to the roald.—New York Sun. Senator Hanna is a yery shrewd politician, but events have shown that he is not proof against the wily confidence mau. A smooth stranger dropped iu to see him iu Cleveland the other.day, and introduced him self as “Mr. Bailey of Texas, brother of Senator Bailey." After a few minuses conversation “Mr. Bailey” informed the senator that he had been to Buffalo and had spent more mouey than he should have done, and was temporarily short; would the senator kindly let him have $25 until he reached home? The senator did. Later he learned that “Mr. Bailey of Texas” had transformed himself into “Mr. Wise ot Virginia,” “Mr. Hogg ot Texas,” aud several other persons, brothers of celebrities of politics, and “touch ed,’ a number of Clevelanders who chanced to be as confiding as Sena tor Hanua.
