Barrow County Bill Passed By House. Atlanta, Ga., July 11.-The, bill creating the new county of Harrow, to be made up of sec tions of Walton, Gwinnett and Jackson, with Winder as the county seat, passed the House to day by a vote of 136 to 35. The measure came from the Constitutional AmendmentsCom mitte with a unanimous recom mendation for its passage, but it was not put through the House until after a genuine display had been indulged in. The fight against Harrow was led by Hardeman, of o offer son, who attacked it by oving to postpone action upon it until next session. Had that motion pre vailed, the bill would have been killed, beyond hope of resurrec tion. Harrow County has been look ed upon generally as apt to win out. It has been before the Leg islature before, and many mem bers who voted for it today ex plained their votes by saying that they voted upon the merits of the proposition entirely, which wen evident enough to the Constitu tional Amendments Committee to get a unanimous favorable re port therefrom. The impression is that Barrow will pass the Senate and go to the people for ratification in tin next general election. U. S. Now Is Fourth In Naval Strength. Washington, July 15.—The Uni ted States is now occupying fourth place among the navies of the world and not third, as is generally supposed. The real loss of prestige to the navy by reason of the failure to keep up the naval construction program is shown ver> clearly in Brassey’s Manual, whose rating of the nations was discussed gen erally today by officers at the Navy I feparf im-nt. Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske, chief of staff of Secretary Dan iels, pointed out the real com parative strength of the nations as shown by Brassey’s figures, as follows: England 21>, Germany lit, France 17, United States 13.

It is not wrong to kiss a pretty girl with whom you are associated in the government service, provided tin- aforesaid girl purses her ru hv lips and utters a defi. This was laid down in the case of Frank D. Hester, a chief of sec tion, who was accused of the oscillatory diversion during office hours. Gaylord M. Saltrabe**, pension commissioner, suspended Mr, Hester upon hearing of the affair and undertook an investigation. After unwinding many yards of red tape and going into the affair from all angles, the commission er discovered that the young woman had "dared” Hester’s evidence of affection. ‘ Hester wa therefore reinsta ted. Today he is back at his disk. The young woman, who was a temporary clerk, and whose name was carefully con cealed, has left the pension office service. Acid In Oconee Kills 10,000 Pounds Os Fish. Athens, July 13. Judge Brand has issued a temporary injunc tion restraining the Empire Chemical Company from pouring waste acid in a branch that empties into the Oconee River, a few miles below Athens. Ten thousand pounds of dead fish have been taken from the river. People living along the banks find the odors almost unltearable. State Game Warden. Jesse Mer cer has been summoned to inves tigate. The temporary injunction will hold until July 26, when a hear ing will be given the company. The Antisocial Newspaper. It is hard to put yourself back in imagination into the condition | of things before the newspaper existed. Take a country village, or a small provincial town, or even a large city, three hundred years ago. The isolation of the inhabitants was complete. Even |of what was going on at their ow n doors they could have only a limited and most imperfect knowledge. The outer world simply could not come to them at all. The facts of political or so cial progress, the great achieve ments of industry, the history and character of public men, even events like war or great disasters that shook the framework of so ciety were spread only hy the slow' process of lip to lip convey ance, or perhaps not until they were staled in the cold pages of : historical record. Now the newspaper binds the whole world together, brings Europe and Asia to your break fast-table, makes the speech and garb and gesture of heroes and leaders as familiar as those of a ; friend or relative, As between community and community, there is no seclusion, there is no pri vacy any more. But it is curious to reflect on the exactly opposite truth, that although the newspaper tends to unite communities, it tends to separate individuals. In former days the only w'ay a man could learn anything of what, was go ing on in the world w'as to go out among his fellows, to make large acquaintance, to keep in contact with as many sorts of souls as he possibly could. Now the easiest way to learn what is going on in the world is to stay at home. Two neighbors sit beside each other in the car, and instead of talking eagerly about public af fairs, they extinguish themselves behind their newspapers. A man sta s in his office all day and sells shoes and talks of shoes, and at night sits down by the fire with his newspaper. But the twentieth century, which is to change so many things, will perhaps change that also. There are signs that men are beginning to feel more the need of other men—a need that printers’ ink can never satisfy.— Youth’s Companion. George Brown’s Office Boy. George Brown writes the edi torials and attends to the "ex change” work of a big metropo litan daily newspaper, all of which compels him to read oceans of other papers. It was his habit to send his office boy to the post office every day to drag back a tremendous bundle of papers, says the New York Evening Post. One day the boy, who was red headed and high-tempered, re ceived his bundle in the corridor ! of the postoffice, cut the strings, j and scattered the newspapers in wild confusion all over the floor. After that he ran wild among them, kicking them and slapping them about. An official of the postoffice call ed up Brown’s office with the purpose of informing him that he had sent a crazy boy to the office, and that the hoy had scattered the papers all over the building. Brown was not in when the call was made, but later the official of the postoffice informed him that, when remonstrance was made to the boy. he exclaimed wildly: "That fool gets too many pa pers, anyway! I’m onto hini. I’m the only t>erson on the news paper that knows he don’t read half of ,em.” Denver Puts Ban On Japs And Negroes.

Two men entered a train at a small station out West, and took seats facing an elderly gentle man. They fell to telling hunt ing stories with great animation and many oaths. Noticing that the old gentle man was an interested listener, one of the men spoke to him and asked whether he, too, were not a hunter, with a story or two worth hearing. The old gentleman thought he could tell one, and this is what he said: "One day I thought I would go hunting: so I took my tin-pan tinder-box gun and went up into a tin-pan tinder-box woods on the side of a tin-pan tinder-box moun tain, and I waited a tin-pan tin der-box long time: and then I saw a tin-pan tinder-box fine buck coming toward me, so I put my old tin-pan tinder-box gun to my shoulder, and fired. And that tin-pan tinder-box buck fell right in its tin-pan tinder-box tracks; and it was the finest tin pan tinder-box buck I ever kill [ed.” After a oause, he said, "How do you like my story?” "Oh, the story is all right, but I don’t see what all that ‘tin-pan tinder-box' has to do with it.” “Well,” replied the c'd gentle man, "that is just m> -ay of swearing. ” "I don’t see much sense in swearing that way,” said the other, with manifest disgust. To which the old gentleman responded, “There is as much sense in my way of swearing as there is in yours, young man.” Children’s Teetli Need Attention. Just as much as grown-ups.
