More stand pat politics. Georgia enjoyed the late festival fully, and fever casualties and tragedies than nsnal are recorded With a crop of 36,000,000 bar rels, and apples CO cents a peck Oh, prosperity, what extortion is perpetrted in tby name! Americas eDjoyed a safe and sane Christmas and is now glad that it is over with, and not a fa tality or casualty to record. And Atlanta really got through the holidays without a riot, for which she is both pleased and hap pily disappointed, no donbt. It seems that the corporations fear the voters if wages are not raised, while congressmen likewise fear the voters if wages are raised This is a wastefal nation in many ways, but it is far less wasteful than it once was. For this we hare science to thank. The chem ist’s art has taught us many things and has added and is adding many millions toonr wealth. A few years ago cotton seed was re garded as worse than useless, flow its by-products hare a value of more than $50,000,000 annually. It is the boast of the great pork packers that nothing of the hog is lost but the sqneal, and the oil re finers lose nothing of the erode product but the smell. The saw dust that once was valueless has become as valuable as the solid lumber—in some cases more so, just as the by- produots of ernde oil are worth more than the re fined oil. We have learned to save hun dreds of millions by utilizing ma terial which we formerly threw away. We make things of paper, and we make paper of wood. We make building stone as cheaply as we make brick, and we hare ma chinery that makes old clothes into new cloth. We have not yet learned the household economy for which] the French are famons, and which the Germans understand. There is too mnch waste in the kitchen, too mnch extravagance in household economics. We have not mastered the science of cookery, and we have not learned how to buy, to utilize and to save. The science of chemistry teaches the ntilizationof every scrap of every element, and great manufacturing concerns are conducted on this principle. Bnt the household with little money to spend spends it like a drunken prince and turns up its nose at the small economics which mean not only larger saving bnt better living. The department of cookery and household economy is sadly neg lected. Mr. Bockefeller neither drinks nor uses tobacco. Uncle Sam will never be able to get anything Jut of him without income and inheri lance taxes. A Yokohama gaper suggests that Japan mpy not be getting its share of American heiresses under treaty rights. The Japs are pick ing np even the art of hnmor. Thfire comes the story of a preacher who has ten sons, alt of them in the ministry. What a eropof dressing gowns and slip pers that family harvested Tuesday Americus will now proceed to get her bonne in order ior the new year, for there is a great deal the Good Dame expects 10 accomplish in. the way of building colleges and railroads.

MEMBERS LIVING UPON MILEAGE Congressmen who return home for the holidays will ride on passes, bnt when they return to Washing- ton in January they will have to pnt np the cash. But as they can ride for 3 cents a mile, while the Government allows them 20 cents a mile as traveling expenses, most of them will still be several hun dred dollars ahead. It is even claimed that some congressmen have managed to live on their mile age and save all of their salaries. A residence lot for a home, or a home itself, is the best of all Christmas presents, even if you have to give the lot this year and the house later on. We have some of the best in Americus, which can be had cheap for cash, or on easy terms. P. B. Williford. OPER v HOUSE Wednesday. Dec. 26 LOOK' WHO’S COMING, The Farce Comedy Star Tri» mvirate The.
