THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1899
EDITORIAL NOTES.
It is reported that Secretary Root,
of the War Department, alter about
a month in office, has decided to re
sign because of disagreements between
himself and President McKinley and
Secretary Hay. It is but another
illustration of the fact that a man in
jjolitics is a man in trouble.
In urging the organization of a
chautauqna in Marietta, the Marietta
Journal, in its last issue says:
“There are several of these institu
lions in our state, at Barnesville, Cor
dele, Gainesville and Albany; and ac
cording to reports, they exercise a
very salutary influence in the commu
nities where they are located, not
only to the attendants from a social,
intellectual and religious point of!
view, but to the towns from a finan-1
rial standpoint as well.”
And yet there are people who op
pose chautauquas. There are some
somewhere to oppose everything un
der the sun, and you never know
what position a man will take until
he opens his mouth and speaks.
There are over 70,000,000 people in
the United States who have different
ideas.

Senator Benjamin K. Tillman is
getting warmed up in the South Car
olina campaign and he usually speaks
just as he pleases. The people of
the South will endorse this sentence
from a recent speech made by the
senator:
“I believe in white supremacy at
all hazards, the world, the flesh, the
devil, and the Yankees to the contra
ry notwithstanding.”

The appointment of Col. J. J.
Rogers as solicitor of the county
court of Pike by Judge E. F. Dupree
will give general satisfaction and the
interests of the state will not suffer
in his hands. Asa lawyer he is
faithful and honest, as he is as a man
and citizen. He has been engaged
this week in the court, discharging
his first duties under the appointment.
For years Col. Rogers was solicitor
while Judge J. S. Pope was the judge.
It is hot and dry and the crops are
short and the prices low! It seems
to be bad, but as it is impossible for
anybody to help it, we must make
the best of the situation. It will all
come right after a while.

A man who does not advertise his
business is like a man without a phy
sician—he may live but the probabil
ity is that he will die. N. W. Ayer
& Son, who handle millions for ad
vertising. say there's no advertising
like newspaper advertising.

Latterly nil the employees of th
Hudson Bay company were caught
young; only bids born in the solitude,
of the highlands conld habituate them
salvos to tilt* life of loneliness; only
constitutions of iron, hardened under
hereditary conditions, could endure sc
tremendous a strain.
It may ho assumed that the first ad-
venturers consisted chiefly of English
men, although Ihe Scottish invasion of
England had set in with the accession
of King James. But it is certain that
afterward. l>oth with the Hudson Bay
company and its great Canadian rival,
the names of factors, traders and prom
inent partisans, with scarcely an ex
ception, were Scottish.
The story of trade and discovery in
the northwest rends like a muster roll
of the clans, and mainly of the northern
clans of the second order. There are
MacTavishes. MaoGlllivrayu, McKays,
MeLelluns. MoDougalls. with Frasers
and Stuarts and the French Frobishers.
A Mackenzie, a Frazer and a Thomp
son gave their names to as many mighty
rivers. That came in the natural course
of things. The company found its best
recruiting grounds, in the highlands
and enlisted the martial spirit of the j
for a country where local j
fends wore forc"Tt'>u. —Blackwood’s :

It is a well known fact that if the
young of almost any kind of bird are
taken from the nest before they can fly
the old ones will feed them most atten
tively if the cage in which the little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach it, and a
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for n time, and end
by poisoning the young ones.
This, however, is a mistake, the fact
being that at a certain stage of a young
bird's existence, when it is naturally
able to begin catering for itself, the
parent birds, also quite naturally, cease
to nttend it, and then, if the birdlings
are shut up in the cage and their cus
todian has not thought of placing soras
food at their disposal they necessarily
! die, not from poison administered by
I the parents, but from starvation. —St
