The prohibition tight will he reached in the Senate this week, with much acrimonious discussion. Two bills have been reported, one against the constitutionality of the law, preventing the shipment of whisky from a wet state to one that is dry; and another sustaining the constitutionality of the law, ap proved by the minority of the ju diciary committee. A canvass of the Senate would indicate 22 Dem ocrats in favor of the law and 23 Republicans in favor of it, with 3 or 4 doubtful. Those who have carefully canvassed the Senate be lieve that the bill will pass by a close vote. Both Senators Bacon and Clay, of Georgia, are support ing actively the bill which prevents the shipment from a wet state to one that is dry any spiritous liq uors or intoxicating beverages. KOOSKVKI.T I.OSINO. Since President Roosevelt heartily indorsed and supported Congress man Hobson's minority report call ing for four battleships and saw it go down in defeat by a large major ity, he has been losing influence with Congress. It is anticipated that he will get into a wrangle with that bodv, when lie is calculated to veto public building bills, lie is thought to be intending to do this, and if he does it is believed Congress will pass them by a two-thirds vote over his head. According to most authoritative gossip around the capital, Congress is likely to adjourn before June. (mKOKOIA's HARMONIOUS DKLKOATION. The pennant-winning baseball nines are those that depend upon their team work. The star players, looking for individual records, ig nore the success of the club, in or der that they may appear to then best advantage as individual play ers. Georgia’s Congressional dele gation is carrying out the scientific system of team work, co-operation, concentration, and hence, success. This harmonious action on the part of the Georgia delegation creates fa vorable comment from other repre sentatives who are unfortunate in accomplishing the work they desire to do for their Congressional dis tricts. There are many star players in Congress. The interests of their constituents suffer as a result. The orator is seldom an efficient member of Congress. His stock-in-trade is his eloquence and he depends upon publicity for his popularity, rather than efficiency in carrying out the desires and wishes of his people. A NOT 11KK KISH HATCIIKKV. Congressman Thos. M. Bell is ac tively pursuing his bill to establish a government fish hatchery in the Ninth district. The measure intro duced carries an appropriation of 625,000, “For the establishment of a fish-cultural station in the Ninth Congressional District of Georgia, including the purchase of site, con struction of buildings and ponds, equipment and maintenance.’’ The selection of location is left to the Commissioner of Fisheries. This institution will be of vast import ance to this section of the state and through its establisment the waters of North Georgia may be stocked with various species of fish adapted particularly to this climate and these waters. The only station in the state is now located at Warm Springs, and the logical geographi cal location of a second one would be in the Ninth district on the banks of the ('hattahooohee. Mr. Bell is making a light before the committee fora favorable* report on his bill and he insists that his district has the best water in the South for this purpose and is right fullv entitled to a hatchery- Best of the Fedm. He (pointing on Held) —That's* (ireen over there. In a few weeks he will lx- our best man. She —Oh, Charlie, this is so sud den! What you give is written in sand; what you take, with an iron hand. —< ierman. Even a first-class wood worker eannot neeessaiily till a position in a chop house. The story of the average woman’s life would make an interesting novel —so she thinks. 4 Column Devoted to Subjects of In terest to Church People. The Voice of Duty. Wake, arise, he up and doing For the time is swiftly going, An there's work to do. i ’Tis the \oiee of Duty calling, And the message clearly falling Reaches unto you. Stand not idle and uncaring In the midst of burden-1 (curing — There is work for you; Where so puipy tear- are falling, iWary almost unto breaking There is work to do, Where so many tears are falling, Souls for sympathy are calling — They appeal to you. , Wake, arouse from idle dreaming, In a world with labor teeming — There's some task for you. Unto good works without number Duty calls the souls that slumber, There is work to do; Re not like tin l sluggard sleeping Through the sowing and the reaping, There is work for you. W hile the time is swiftly going Make at least a worthy showing, On the work for you; Wait no longer for beginning — I .earn that idleness is sinning, There s so much to do. —Mahuakkt Scott llali.. Kirkwood, Ga. Working on the Wrong Side. An old paper tells the story of a man who was washing the large plate glass in a show-window. There was one soiled spot which de ♦ tied all efforts to remove it. After hard rubbing at it, using much soap and water, and failing to re move it, he found out the trouble. “It's on the inside, ’’ he called out to someone in the store. Many are trying to cleanse the soul from its stains. They wash it with the tears of sorrow; they scrub it with the soap of good resolves; they rub it with the chamois of mortality; but still the conscious ness of it is not removed. The trouble is, “it's on the inside.” — Harry N. Crawford. ME DANGER IN RIDICULE. 1 should like to say, to those who are tempted to see only the ridicu lous side of things, that perhaps in the whole gamut of the character there is nothing quite so dangerous as that. The man who is always serious has his risks, for there is more laughter in God’s works than he imagines. The man who always argues has his risks, for there are truths too line to be meshed in any argument. But the man who rid icules what is true and high and noble had a thousand times better never have been born into a world so strangely built as this. It is so cheaply, absurdly easy. And there arc men whose only claim to being superior is that they are able to win that little triumph. But 1 call that the most degrading of all tri umphs, and that not only for the harm it does to other 1 , but far more for the irreparable harm that it surely brings upon the man himself. Life is not worth living without some high ideal. Life is quite worth less unless we live it reverently. If there be nothing above us and be yond us, we may as well give up the struggle in despair. And the strange thing is that when we take to ridiculing all that is best and worthiest in others, by that very habit we destroy the power of believ ing in what is worthiest in ourselves —G. TT. Morrison, in The Wings of the Morning. mere to’Faimew Sunday? Rev. S. P. Higgins filled his reg ular .appointments here Saturday and Sunday and preached two very instructive sermons.
