The members of tke House presented
Uncle Joe Hall with some fireworks on
the Fourth. He didn’t need them.
Uncle Joe’s favorite weapon is his
mouth and he does not fail to shoot It
off at all ttmes, says the Thomasvllle
Times-Enterprise.
It is stated, as a matter of fact, that
most of the Florodora sextette married
well, and they arenow out of the pro¬
fession. Not a one of them ever did
anything to cause an unenviable noto¬
riety. Mrs. Thaw and “Nan" Patter¬
son didn't belong to the original sex¬
tette.
Th# experts of the Agricultural De¬
partment estimate that when all
the peoples of the word are civilized
m the ciothes-wearing point 42,000,000
bales of cotton will be needed yearly,
‘it is also estimated that with improved
methods and increased acreage the
South can easily produce 33,000,600
bales, three rimes its present output.
When all the people of. the world read
the News and Sun as faithfully as
now do all the people of Middle Geor¬
gia, this much cotton will be needed
for the stalks to furnish news paper.
The Chattanooga Times says: If the
Populists of Georgia are not looking to
the Hon. Hoke Smith as a Moses they
werei unfortunate enough in adjourn¬
ing their convention to meet again just
after the State gubernatorial primary.
The issue ;thus msde is Popullstiam
against regular Democracy with Mr.
Smith on one side and the Hon. Clark
Howell on the other. The primary
does not occur until August 22, and
the friends of the two leading candi¬
dates are lining up to make the finish
the moft sensational and spectacular
ever witnessed In Georgia olltlcs.
That eminently staid newspaper, the
Savannah Morning News, observes:
“To introduce a straw through the in-
-tersrices of a peea-a-boo waist and
tickle the shoulder of tlfe wearer there¬
of lias been decided by a magaistrate’s
court in Philadelphia to constitute as’
sault and battery. The defendant in
the case says the Uttle perforations in
the waist moved him to the tickling
' merely by way of fun and without the
slightest thought of harm. But the
court held that harm had been done
and the tickler would have to be
punisshed. Moral: Never tickle a
jteek-a-boo girl, with a straw."
Georgia is Frond and Clean.
Atlanta Constitution.
AS a “reformer," Mr. Smith has not
made good on his insinuations .and in¬
direct charges of civic coruption. The
reason he has failed In this essential
particular is obvious. The State of
Georgia has not been debauched and
corrupted by the men whom the peo¬
ple of Georgia have called to adminis¬
ter their government and enact their
laws. There has been no governmental
scandal in Georgia. Other States have
been smirched, but Georgia has stood
up proud and clean in her conscious
honesty. The record of her honorable
government is an open book. The
State has proposed under this honest,
economical, prudent Democratic ad¬
ministration of its public affairs and
revenues. This is proven by every
authority that Is reliable and reputable.
The bankers have just added their tes¬
timony to the mass of rim liar testimo-
nie'.s that has been given lor the honor
of old Georgia. ®
Georgia Is prosperous and honest, 1 1
There exists absolutely no reason for u
calamity howl and campaign of In-
unendo against her public servants.
The only reason such a campaign
was ever undertaken was because it
was thought to be a good prejudice-
inflaming ruse to catch votes. Mr.
Smith wants the office and leadership
that will put the control of t he State In
the hands of the enemies of the party
for reasons apparent enough to every¬
body familiar with past history in the
politics of state and nation.
And does not scruple tosmirtch Geor¬
gia in the eyes of the world to attaain
his selfish end.
Recording Predictions.
Athens Banner.
The great agricultural college is com¬
ing to Athens. The legislature will
aoe to it that Georgia has as great a
school of this kind as any Btate in the
Booth, and Athens will be the place
where the college will be brought to
^perfection.
CLERK TO »* BUBFENDEO. 1
tormy Meeting ef Savannah City
Council.
Savannah, Oa.. July 7.—In a
session the city council Friday
afternoon with about two members
passed a resolution suspend-
lng Clerk of Council J. Robert Cream¬
er, pending an Investigation of his hav¬
ing failed to turn into the city treas¬
ury police court fines to the amount
of more than 12,000.
Tha funds were finally turned In,
but this was, after the lapse of week*
from th* time of the fines were paid
and hi the hands of the clerk and
accounting was secured form the clerk
after most decided efforts to se¬
cure a settlement had been made by
the mayor and the chairman of the
finance committee.
The investigation will take place
next Wednesday before council. The
Creamer matter has created great lo¬
cal Interest, as he Is one of the most
generally known men in Savannah.
A question of veracity as between
Mayor Meyers, Chairman of Council
James M, Dixon and Chief of Police
Charles Qarfunkel Is also an issue In
the case, Alderman Dixon having said
that th# mayor said that It might be
desirable to shadow Creamer,
Sharp words were exchanged during
the meeting and, also aboard the train
bound for Tybee between Mayor Mey¬
ers an Alderman Dixon.
G«|tified at Markmanahlp Progress.
Washington, July 7.—In a letter to
Acting Secretary Oliver, President
Roosevelt has expressed his gratifi¬
cation at the remarkable progress that
is being made by the enlisted men
of the army In markmanshlp. Before
the 8panl»h war the American private
soldier was admittedly the finest shot
In the world. The addition of a
large number of volunteers had the
effect of greatly reducing the aver¬
age of the riflemen. But since the re¬
organisation following the war, every
effort has been made to atimulate In¬
terest In markmanshlp, and the result
Is that today the average Is probably
as high If not higher than It was at
the beginning of the war.
Pears Are Relieved.
Washington, July 7—Anxiety for
the safety of the light house tender
Laurel was relieved Saturday when
the light house board received a tel¬
egram from Lieutenant Commander
Hdod, light bouiie Inspector at Key
West, reporting that she had been
anchored under Loboe light from June
25 to July 2. The laurel was due at
Guantanamo June 27 and when she
failed to show up there several days
after that date, Lieutenant Comman¬
der Hood left Key West with the ten¬
der Mangrove In search of her and
at his request the naval tug Osceola
was sent out from Key West to look
for the missing tender.
Is Harmlesa Mechanic.
Seattle, Wash., July 7.—The United
States German Societies, at Its meet¬
ing Friday night, declared that Au¬
gustus Rosenberg, arrested In Prus¬
sia accused, of designs on Emperor
William’s life. Is nothing but a harm¬
less mechanic. The letter which
caused the arrest of Rosenberg, the
members of the society claAi, was
written by a secret enemy of Rosen
berg's to the authorities In the father¬
land.
Workmen Prepare Houseboat,
New Orleans, July 7.—Workmen on
Saturday were preparing the first
houseboat for use at the mouth of the
Mississippi river in carrying out yel¬
low fever quarantine regulations, and
at the same time enabling freight
steamers to rush their perishable car¬
goes to the dock at New Orleans with¬
out the costly delays now caused by
a remarkably stringent quarantine
system.
Believed Peary Has Sacrificed Life.
Chicago, July 7.—A dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Washington says
that Captain Robert E. Peary has sac¬
rificed his life in the effort to discover
the north pole Is the fear of naval
men here who are worried by the fail¬
ure to get which any ^tidings for of the ship

By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, July 4 .—[Special. 1—Be¬
fore congress returns to Washington
again we will know whether the house
In the Sixtieth congress will be con¬
trolled by the party that has been In
rite majority for a dozen years or
whether the Democrats, who have been
defeated Ip six successive campaigns,
have at last gained a victory. The Re¬
publicans are going Into the campaign
with their usual confidence, but they
are no more sanguine than the Demo¬
crats, who any that the country la now
ready for a change of parties. The Re¬
publicans are going Into the campaign
upon the things accomplished, while
the Democrats will make their stand
not on criticisms of the Republican
legislation, but upon the famire of the
party In power to enact much legisla¬
tion that the Democrats claim was nec¬
essary for the country.
Tariff the Staple Issue.
Of course the great Issue of the cam¬
paign must.be the tariff. Minority
Leader Williams has directed hls par¬
ty along those lines most of the session.
Hls strongest speeches hhve been In
favor of revision and be has Introduced
mum eroua bills to reduce duties on all
articles. The Republicans for the most
part have been willing to accept the
gage of battle, although there are sec¬
tions which voiced a Republican de¬
mand for tariff changes and some
members of the party will go into the
campaign with the Intention of advo¬
cating revision, although the great ma¬
jority of the party has determined to
make stand pat the slogan and to
insist that the tariff does not need any
revision, or at least only to such a
slight extent as not to warrant the
disturbance which tariff legislation
brings about.
8om* Predictions.
It has been asserted that the presi¬
dent will come out for tariff revision
In hls next message and that be will
state that he Intends to call an extra
session of the Sixtieth congress for this
purpose. But that kind of talk has
been heard before. President Roose¬
velt is Interested In many questions of
reform and progress that he deems of
much more Importance than the tariff
revision, and he mny ask congress to
consider them rather than this subject,
which divides the parties. This predic¬
tion of an extra session of the Sixtieth
congress will also depend somewhat
upon the complexion of the bouse, to
be determined this fall, In speaking of
the president I may also say that the
Republicans are going to make the sus¬
taining of the president one of, their
rallying cries during the campaign and
will assert that the election of a house
ojjposed to him will be a criticism of
hls administration.
In the Desert.
Representative Lacey of Iowa will
spend hls vacation In the desert, or
that part of the country known as
the “desert” half a century ago. He
says that there Is no place in the world
that Is so healthy as the great plains,
where there Is constant sunshine and
pure ulr. A mouth of It will put more
life In a man than a year at the sea
ahore is the opinion of the Iowa repre¬
sentative.
Tha Busiest Man.
Probably the busiest man of the ses¬
sion has been Representative Watson
of Indiana. He Is the Republican
••whip,” and hls duties as such have
exceeded those which have been as¬
sumed or mnde the duty of any “whip”
since that quasl-otUelal position was
created. Watson has been seen at the
White House day after day and some¬
times twice a day. That afforded an
opportunity to keep the Republican
leaders In close' touch with the presi¬
dent,-also to Inform the president as to
what was l>eing done In the house and
especially the party programme from
day to day. Watson has had to have
frequent conference's with Speaker
Cannon and other house leaders, and
he has had- a task in keeping a good
working majority of the Republicans
In Washington and In the house when
they were wanted.
On the Lecture Circuit.
Three senators and at least two rep¬
resentatives will soon be on the lec¬
ture circuit' They are Senators Dolll-
ver of Iowa, La Toilette of Wisconsin
and Tillman of South Carolina, Repre¬
sentatives Charles B. Landis of Indi¬
ana and Champ Clark of Missouri. It
la also quite possible that General
Grosvenor will do some lecturing dur¬
ing the season. All of the** aien will
later tuke an active part In the polit¬
ical campaign, but they have all been
anxiously waiting for the end of the
session In order that they may till en¬
gagements which have been delayed
by the extent of the session.
New Man Wins.
The enactment of n naturalization
law was due to the efforts of Repre¬
sentative Bonyuge of Colorado, who Is
u comparatively new man In the house,
serving hls second term. He took the
matter up because there had come un¬
der hls personal Observation abuses of
the old laws. It was the kind of leg¬
islation to which a number of persons
had objections, and the bill was fought
with a great deal of vigor. Bonyuge
kept at it. however, and was dually
snecesstel.
A Tragic Finish.
A watchman’s neglect permitted a
leak in the great North Bea, dyke,
which a child’s finger could have
stopped, to become a-runious break,
devastating an entire provlnoe of Hol¬
land. In like manner Kenneth Mc-
Iver, of Vanoeboro, Me., permitted a
little cold to go; unnoticed until a
tragic finish was only averted by Dr.
King’s New Discovery. He writes:
“Three doctors gave me up. to die of
lung iaflamation, caused by a Discovery neglected
da; but Dr. Vi King’s New

Statue to California Soldier*.
A fine bronze statuary group has re¬
cently been completed by a company
in Chicago for Golden Gate park in
San Francisco in honor of the First
