Recruiting officers in the large
cities are said to be doing a land
office business. The stringency is
said to have driven many young men
to the army as an easy way of

Congressman Charlie Edwards, of
the First District, has introduced more
bills than any other member of the
present house. The number he has
passed, or probably will pass, may
look something lik e this—o.
Columbus’ city council will consider
the locker club tax at the next session
of the city council. It is proposed by
one councilman to fix the tax at ten
thousand dollars, with the idea that
the price would be prohbitiive.
The Lee County Journal is already
holding its nose preparatory to swal
lowing the Bryan dose. It says: "If
Bryan is nominated we will shut our

Only $700,000 is wanted from the

Democratic and Republican mem

times over their mutual endorsements

Columbus papers are working hard
to get th e limits of that city extend

ual in such cases, property owners
who are getting practically all the
benefits of the city though outside the
limits, are pulling back vigorously on
account of the increase in their taxes.
“Greater Columbus” is all right to
them when it doesn't cost anything.
In commenting on the lamentation
of the Fitzgerald Enterprise that work
has fallen off in its job office, the
Tifton Gazette takes occasion to rub
salt in a sore spot by saying: “Be

would be the last to ascribe the cause
to reform.”
Plans to preserve the scenic beau
ty of Niagara Falls have been pre
sented to President Roosevelt by the
civic federation. It is proposed
among other things to plant trees on
each bank, with the factories moved
to the background. The falls had a
narrow escape from being destroyed
by commercialism a few years ago
and the suggestion of improvement
is a good one.
Judge Eugen e Ray, writing in the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, takes a pot
shot at the Atlanta Constitution for
fussing so mightily about the trains
out of Atlanta that carry that paper's
early night edition. Judge Ray says:
“It cannot be presumed that Provi
dence would be of doing any
thing that would prevent the Consti
tution from reaching its readers for
breakfast or earlier.”
Unexpected reinforcements have' s
been received for prohibition terri
tory in Georgia and Alabama, the
Louisville & Nashville road having
refused to receive shipments o f li

The road bases its action on the fact
that a suit is now pending in Indiana
involving the right of a road to carry
liquor into prohibition territory, re
gardless of the fact that it is inter
state commerce.
WIRZ MOMMFM IN AXERICTS
In adopting resolutions favoring the
placing of the Wirz monument in Am
ericus, Camp Sumter, Confederate Vet
erans has taken the initiative in a
move which will commend itself to the
great body of Veterans, we hope.
A number of reasons might be urg
ed why the monument should be plac
ed in Amerieus instead of Anderson
ville. The latter location is in a
comparatively inaccessible spot, so
that only a small number of people
would have the opportunity of see
ing it. There is a Federal cemetery
there now, and a lone Confederate
monument would be a little out of
place.
On the other hand Amerieus is eas
ily accessible, having railroad lines
radiating in every direction. Its
size and commercial importance are
worthy of careful consideration in
deciding on a place to set up the mon
ument. Thousands would view- the
monument here to a score who would
see it at Andersonville. Ample protec
tion would be accorded here, both in
a police way and in the way of a sym
pathetic feeling.
In the matter of cost, there would
be a considerable saving. The monu
ment is being prepared by an Ameri
cus man and would have to be con
veyed to Andersonville. The dedica
tory exercises also would have a far
larger attendance if held here.
Then, too, if the sentiments under
consideration are to be carved on the
tablets, it would seem in better taste
to erect the monument at a place
other than that which the .Northern
states have selected so rtheir monu
ments. When the offensive inscrip
tions were removed from the Ander
sonville cemetery in deference to
the feelings of the Southern people,
it would not be asking too great a
courtesy in return that the Confed
erates abstain from placing the Wirz
monument at the same place with
sentiments equally unpleasant to those
who alreadv have monument's there.
Amerieus being in the same county
with Andersonville, and the largest
city in the county, offers an ideal
site for the monument, near enough
to emphasize the feeling of injustice
done Major Wirz by placing the pro
where in the nearest spot to the prison
where it stands any chance of being
seen by more than a handful of peo
ple. *
We sincerely trust that the recom
mendation of the local camp may find
favor over the state, and thus hap
pily solve a situation which is becom
ing vitrolically unpleasant.
Put the Wirz monument in Ameri
cus.
TREASURER PARK’S DEFENSE
State Treasurer Park has issued a
reply to an editorial in a recent issue
of the Atlsmta Georgian, in which his
office was severely criticised in con
nection with the alleged neglect in
properly examining the condition of
the Neal bank. He points out that
the pay of additional assistants must
be met from examination fees paid by
the banks, and says in regard to the
proposition that the services of com
petent examiners cannot be obtained
at the salaries fixed and the manner
of their collections: "Especially is
this true when payments of said sal
aries is made contingent on assess
ments, which experience shows can
not be earned by the examiners, how
ever diligent they may be in their
work."
The specific charge that he failed to
examine the Neal bank is taken up.
That bank was examined under the
old law in September, 1906. Before
another examination was required un
der the annual examination system,
the old law was superseded, in Aug
ust 1907, semi-annual examinations
being required. Within four months
of the passage of the law an examina
tion of the Neal bank was started. It
is pointed out that the full six months
allowed from the passage of the act
have not even expired.
It is also pointed out that the At
lanta Clearing House banks examin
ed the Neal bank in October and ad
mitted it to the privilege of issuing
clearing house certificates.
As a matter of fact the state law in
reference to bank examinations is a
poor one, in so far as it seeks to pro
vide salaries for the assistants. If
the state wants the work done, it
should pay its examiners and then
turn fees into the treasury. It was
not Treasurer Park's system which
had to be put into effect, but a very
lame one devised by the legislature.
H e doubtless worked it as well as
anybody could have done. There is
nothing to compel competent examin
ers to work for SIOO a month, payable
when collected by the experts.
CLEAR FIELD FOR CLAY
If Hon. Seab Wright had the time
he would probably enter th e race for
Senator against Steve Clay. But in
view of the likelihood of an early
primary he does not believe that he
would have to time to “catch up” with
Clay before election time.
This statement of position is given
in a letter from Mr. Wright in the
Rome Tribune-Herald, published in
his home town.
The chief grievance against Senator
Clay, as expressed by Hon. Seaborn
Wright, is that the Senator has sto
len all the thunder of the said Sea
born, consisting of temperance am
munition, suppression of immigra
tion, finance, rual mail expansion,
et cetera. On all of these question
Senator Clay has “out-Heroded Her
od,” Hon. Seaborn Wright being
Herod in the quotation.
Two reasons are assigned. the
change of heart as to a late primary,
and “the rapid and radical expansion
of the Senator makes it impfobable
that the people will have an oppor
tunity of nominating me for the Sen
ate this year." The people will have
to bear up under the blow of having
all opportunity to nominate the Hon.
Seaborn snatched away from them.
Having witnessed the voluntary re
moval of his only two possible
competitors, Senator Clay can now
devote all his energies to the duties
of his office, while Gov. Smith and
Hon. Seaborn Wright can build “cas
tles in the air” for next time.
HIS COUNTRY’S CALL
i
i
Congressman Edwards, of the First ]
district, is a great humorist, though
he may not think so. When nominated
to fill the unexpired term of Col.
it was not thought by the gen
eral public in his district that he was
to apply again. But like the tiger
which has once tasted blood, he has
allowed the fumes of Washington,
and of Congress to get into his think
factory.
And so the papers in his district
broke the news gently to Edwards’
constituents on Monday that he was
to run again. The old “gag” of "pres
sure brought to bear so strong that
h e could not deny his friends” was
worked as an introduction, then he
turned the loud pedal on by declaring
that the white voters in his district
have been so well pleased with the
activity of the defendant in their
behalf during the few short (oh, so
short to Edwards,) weeks that he has
been in congress, that “I have no
right to deny their request; in fact
it would be unpatriotic."
Go to. young man. and get that bee
out of your bonnet. The voters of
the First district will hardly need a
riot call to preserve order if you
disappoint them in this matter.
SUPREME COURT VS. UNIONISTS
The Supreme Court of the United
States has dealt union labor three
severe blows during the past thirty
days. The last one was on Monday,
when it was held that a boycott of
goods by unions in different states is
a conspiracy in restrain of trade.
The first of the adverse decisions
was handed down on Jan. 6 when the
employers’ liability law was declared
unconstituional, the law having held
railroads responsible for injuries in
flicted by reason of the negligence of
fellow servants. On Jan. 23 the court
declared unconstitutional the law for
bidding the discharge of employes be
cause they are members of labor un
ions.
Stripped of the boycott weapon, and
with the union members liable to be
discharged for belonging to the union,
organized labor will have to adjust
itself to changed conditions, or secure
the passage of laws against which the
constitutional objection cannot be
raised. President Roosevelt is urg
ing Congress to pass another employ
ers’ liability law, avoiding the de
fects pointed out by the court.
Raise Railroad Rates.
'* (Manufacturer's Record.)
It is announced that among the
subjects to be discussed at a pro
posed “Prosperity Convention,” to
b e held in the near future is that of
lower railroad freight rates. If this
be true, then the sooner that subject
is dropped or the convention aban
doned the better it will be if the peo
ple at the head of this movement
really desire to encourage the devel
opment of prosperity. This country
is suffering today from low freight
rates. Much of the distress of the
past two or three months in busi
ness and financial circles has been
due to the ceaseless agitation of hon
est but miguided business men, of
misinformed newspapers and of dem
agogues pure and simple who have
been clamoring for lower freight and
passenger rates. The country does
not need either. What it does need
is rates that will give to the railroads
profits large enough to bring into
the railroad investment field the $5,-
000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 needed
for th e reconstruction of the railroad
system of the country.
The Manufacturers’ Record has
for some years been seeking to drive
in upon the railroads and business
people of the United States the fact
that our railroad facilities are wholly
inadequate to meet the increasing
growth of the country, and for years
the railroad people seemed as unable
to foresee these conditions as the gen
eral public.
Artist Snapped the Kiss
(Philadelphia Record)
Portland, Me., is still in the midst
of the post-card craze, and has car
ried it even further than most places.
A Philadelphian, who receives a num
ber of post cards, has several from
there. One of them bears a photo
graph of the street front of a de
partment store. On the sidewalk are
a young man and a girl engaged, ap
parently unconscious of being photo
graphed, in kissing.ln fact, they were
unconscious of it. The man, who is
a bank clerk, used to take the girl to
the store every morning, and kiss her
as she left him. Friends noticed it,
and a photographer one morning
snapped them. The picture was plac
ed on a post card, and, as both the
man and the girl were well known,
the cards became widely distributed.
As a result, the girl lost her job, but
this only hurried her marriage to the
young bank clerk, according to the
story. The card is now being sent
over the country.
PREHISTORIC HOUSES
IN SOU. OREGON
TACOMA, WASH., Feb. 4.—(Spe
vial) —A. N. Sayre, who was a member
of the lower hous e during the last
session of the Legislature, will short
ly leave for southern Oregon on a
peculiar mission, which is none less
than locating two houses built in pre
historic times. Mr. Sayre is a pioneer
mining man of the Pacific coast and
is known from California to the
British line.
Three years ago he was travel
ing through southern Oregon and
learned of the existence of the an*-
cient buildings and saw some of the
material of which the buildings are
composed. Only two or three people
knew of the location. Mr. Sayr e says
their value as ancient anthropologi
cal relics are not realized.

BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
If Old Sores were due to outside influences, or if the cause was confined
strictly to the diseased flesh ground the ulcer, then external treatment and
Bimple cleanliness would cure them. But the trouble is in the blood, which
has become unhealthy and diseased, and keeps the sore open by continually
discharging into it the impurities and poisons with which the circulation is
filled. This poisonous condition of the blood may be the remains of so;ne
constitutional trouble ; the effect of a long spell of sickness, or because the
natural refuse of the body, which should pass off through the proper avenues,
has been left in the system and absorbed into the blood. Again, the cause
may be hereditary ; but it does not matter how the poison becomes intrenched
in the blood, the fact that the sore will not heal is evidence of a deep underl
ing cause. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., may cause the place to scab over
temporarily, but the blood is not made any
purer by such treatment, and soon the oles
ftlj inflammation and discharge will return and
‘ the sore be as bad or worse than before

GEORGIA’S LIMBER
CUT WAS REDUCED
But in Whole Country
Largest Yet.
In circular No. 122, of the Forest
Service treats of the lumber cut of
the United States for last year. The
total cut was the largest in the his
tory of the country, but Georgia was
on e of he States which shows a re
duction of more than 25 per cent over
the previous year.
The circular says in part:
"More lumber was cut iu the United
States last year than in any othgr
year in its history. The enormous
amount of 37,550,736 board feet was
produced, and the mill value of this
was $621,151,388. In addition, there
was produced 11,858,260,000 shingles,;
valued at $24,155,555, and 3,812,807,-
000 lath, valued at $11,490,570. On
the whole, it is safe to say that the
present annual lumber cut of the
United States approximates 40 bil
lion feet, and that the total mill value
of lumber, lath, shingles, etc., each
vear produced is not less than $700,-
000,000.
“A comparison of the lumber-pro
ducing States shows that since 1899
there hav e been many changes in
their relative rank. Washington,
■which in 1899 stood sixth, now leads,
while Wisconsin, which eight years
ago led all others is now third. In
the same period Oregon. lx)uisiana,
Mississippi, Idaho, and California
made great strides as lumber-produc
ing States, though, on the other hand,
the amount produced in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana,
and Ohio fell off anywhere from 29
to 54 per cent.
"The highest-priced native woods
are walnut, hickory, and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white fir. From
the fact, however, that since 1899
the average increase in the price
of lumber has been 49**per cent, it
will not be long before cheap woods
are few and far between.”
EXPERT WATCHMAKER
HAS NO HANDS
LOUISVILLE, KY., Feb. 4. (Spe
cial) —Without hands J. R. Saun
ders of this city, is not only as inde
pendent of physical aid as the aver
age man, but he is an expert watch
maker as well. He uses only the reg
ulation tools employed in the intri
cate work, and with only arm stubs
where others have ten fingers he
daily does the most tedious and deli
cate work in his shop.
Mr. Saunders not only dissects
watches and then puts the puzzling
pieces back in their proper places,
but has learned the manufacturing as
well. He can make a minute hand
with as much precision and speed as
any watchmaker, and other intricate
parts which are so small as to require
the constant use of a magnifying
glass during manufacture.
Besides his mechanical ability Mr.
Saunders is a cartoonist. He draws
as rapidly as he works with watches.
H e even shaves himself, ties his
own ties and is as rapid in his
dressing as a man with two hands.
Mr. Saunders has lived in
ville since his birth thirty-four years
ago.
WISHED TO REST
FROM ENEMIES
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—(Special)
—Mrs. Mirah Martine was found in
her room about noon yesterday, over
come by illuminating gas. The win
dows of the room were closed and
the door was locked from the inside.
At Casualty Hospital it is said, she
has little chance for recovery.
Mre. Martine, according to those
who live in the house, has not lived
with her husband for several months,
and she had an unsuccessful search
instituted for him. On occasions she
had acted strangely.
A note found in her room reads as
follows:
'“Notify my undertaker of my
death. I do not wish any other name
on my tombstone, but Mirah Andrews
Claucy, if any. Do not want any
minister or any flowers. Simply take
me from train to grave, and lay my
body at rest from my enemies for
ever. All papers are to be turned
over to my namesake. If any one
takes any of my property or any part
of my things 1 will haunt them and
theirs forever.
“I do not wish any one to look on
my face when I am dead, only those
who have to. There is no one I care
for on earth any more. Bury me in a
gray slik dress, and oblige’me.”
An lowa contemporary says Ameri
ca has too many men who ought to
vote, hut who don’t. Possibly they
have been on th e losing side so often
that it looks to them like a willful
waste of time.—Washington Post.
