Prevents Closing of Schools in Many
Places. Financial Standing of the
State Greatly Improved.
Through completion of arrangements
for the sale of approximately $3,000,
000 in state warrants to Bond & Co.,
of New York, the closing of a large
number of common schools in Georgia
has been averted and the financial
standing of the state greatly improved.
After a delay of four months, brought
about by technicalities, Governor Dor¬
sey, M. L. Brittain, state school sup¬
erintendent, and K. N. Berrien, Atlan¬
ta broker, announced that the sale of
the warrants had been completed and
proceeds will be availiable as rapidlv
as proper papers are presented for pay¬
ment at the department of education.
Owing to the governors’ lack of bor¬
rowing power, the poor credit of the
state and the slowness of tax collectors
making returns, the sale of the war¬
rants was hindered, said Superintend¬
ent Brittain. He stated that he was
advising schools throughout the state
desiring to take advantage of the war¬
rants to make proper requisitions as
soon as possible.
Many schools in different sections
of the state were affected by the delay
in the sale of warrants, and the req¬
uisitions will he given immediate at¬
tention.

Live Man Instead
Of Corpse Arrives
Dawson, C.a., May 11.—The relatives
of Prince Housine, colored, of Graves
Station, recently received a message
requesting them to hold the body of his
uncle until he reached Graves. The
message was sent by telegram to Daw¬
son and was delivered by phone, duo
to the fact that there is no telegraph
office at Graves Station. The people
of the colored man misunderstood the
message, thinking it to mean that
Prince himself would be brought in a
corpse.
The relatives mourned his loss, dug
his grave, and met the train in read¬
iness to bear the corpse,to the ceme¬
tery. When the train arrived, Prince
stepped off. as lively as ever. His
uncle, Ned Housine who Prince thought
was dead did not die until Prince ar¬
rived. The already prepared grave
was used for the well known old col¬
ored man, who had been ill for some
time.

A Woman’s Unofficial
View of Washington
(By Annie I.. Lytle, in The Columbia
Sentinel.)
If anyone asked me what was the
crying need of the congress of this
U. S. A., I would unhesitatingly say:
“Economy in Time." After three weeks
in the closest touch with both houses,
I have come to the conclusion that
enough time is wasted—not only by the
august body collectively—but by the
majority of the members, individually,
to dispose of the business of every civ¬
ilized country.
I have parted with every last shred
of any illusion I might have had on an¬
ything. since I came to Washington;
some of the great names that I had
always thought of in capital letters
have dwindled into the merest sort of
mere men. and it hurt my feelings to
have to revise the list, as I had to do.
Politics is no game for a thin skin¬
ned person; I have seen more small
things done by supposedly big men
than I ahve thought would ever be
done outside a convention for catty
women. Men who have studied ques
tions, and given their time and thought
have spoken to other men-and seen
the other man heat them to the public¬
ity department, and get their proposed
amendments in print before the authu
of the original could get a hearing on
his proposed bill.
Frankly—even the shortness of the
term would not deter me from choos¬
ing the lower house for the scene of
my political activity, were I eligible
to election to congress; there is more
pep. more life, more activity in one
session of the house, than the senate
can show in a season. In the house,
the members have rules of their own,
when Congressman Doololly wants to
address his conferes, does he confine
himself to the very narrow limits of
the floor space to which he has been
assigned, when he takes his seat?
Not much; he gets down to the front
of what would he the pulpit, if he were
a deacon in church addressing the con¬
gregation, and fie turns his back on
the speaker—just as though he were
the preacher—and he launches forth
with all his canned and extemporaneous
oratory; and do the members sit si¬
lently, while he orates, and do they
get up with dignity, and say their little
apology for wanting to ask a question?
No. they don’t; if one of the brethren
doesn’t like what the orator is saying,
he gets up, waves his hand or wag¬
gles his arm and says: "Mister Speak¬
er, I would like." etc; and the speaker
bangs a wooden mallet on the desk
with a wicked bang, and recognizes the
waving objector; I really enjoyed the
time I spent there, and decided it was
the only place “us women” would he
satisfied with, as it gives such a splen
did iot of chances to talk back.
In the senate, the dignity with which
that body works of course takes up a
lot of time; but more is wasted by the
crass ignorance of some of the sena¬
tors, who object to certain statements,
and then, on a. careful reading of the
authority cited by the senator speak
ing—apologizes and then gets mad
when they find their objections
lous. I saw this in a session on Thurs
day, and at least a half hour was wast
ed in the interruption.
Then it seems to be the easiest
in the world for the senate to
to take up unfinished business at
en o’clock next week—or
like that. In the lower house they
have the happy habit of adjourning,
and this makes the business draw
many days, when it would seem to
onlooker it could be wiped out In
the time, if the members came
tQ handle intelligently the matters to
come up for adjustment and final dis¬
position.
We also took a look in on the Su¬
preme Court of the United States,
That’s another thing I used to think
of, in capital letters, and it is another
thing that has “swunk" in my esti¬
mation.
Have you ever gone into one of those
very expensive undertaker’s “parlors”?
You know how dim and religious-like
the atmosphere is. Nothing but can¬
dles, and heavy draperies, and soft
carpets, and a general air of the Dear
Departed.
Well, that’s exactly what you feel
like when you go into this most holv
of-holy departments of our govern¬
ment. Most of the doors that open into
any of the departments here, have one
man and just everyday hinges to let
you in.
In the Supreme Court department
they have tw T o men to the door, ^nd
big red silk ropes to pull the doors
open with; and when you get in, you j
see. right in front of you—after you j
get used to the heaviness of the atmos-j
phere and the surroundings-a and lot well rf| !
old men, looking like owls,
fed owls at that—on a lot of fat up- \
j holstered chairs; l ack of the middle |
| figure is a heavy crimson drap.-ry; this
j s the Poo Bah of the whole works—
\ Chief Justice White, appointed by Pros
ident Taft, and looking ver> much like
j his August Fatness.
If ever 1 am up for treuse n, or any
thing else that would make me look
to the Supreme Court of the U. S. A.
for release—I d take one look at that
aggregation and kiss the world and all
my friends good bye.
Just why the blessed light of day
should be excluded, and these heavy
weights of justice (?) should sit in the
artificial light, of course, we do nat
know; but that 'twas one of the reasons
for the undertaker’s atmosphere.
Then, why all the members of the
court should look like members of an
Old Men’s Horne, is another question
I asked myself—and I haven’t had the
answer yet.
Excessive youth is not always a good
asset, but again, neither is excessive
age, and if any member of this most
august body is under eighty—he doesn’t
look it; and none of them as though
they had been out in the fresh air or
sunshine since they were appointed.
And some of them are deaf—and how
on earth are they to judge a case, han¬
dicapped with this small list of afflic¬
tions?
We certainly have some nice Con¬
gressmen in our lot; Mr. Upshaw, Judge
Brand. Judge Crisp—are some of the
nicest flnes, and we are being made
to feel at home, by their so greatly
appreciated attentions.
Judge Crisp has in preparation—and
has been making it ready for two years
—a bill to limit immigration to this
country; his plan, jto abolish it for a
period of ten years, is a good one, but
one that will be bitterly fought by
th08e big inter ests whose dividends
are only possible on cheap labor.
Judge Brand has another bill that
should appeal to every one; it is the
matter of making the legal rate of
interest for borrowed money limited to
five percent, and this bill should have
the hearty support of every portion
of the south; the average farmer in the
cotton belt cannot get along without
borrowing money, and the usurers have
had fat pickings from him for the past
several years.
Tin in United States.
Only G8 tons of tin, nearly all of it
obtained from Alaska, was mined In

More than 8? 'WO tons was imported.
