PULLED OFF TO PERFECTION.
Speaking of the recent automobllo
races In Savannah which were attend
ed by 100,000 visitors, Tho Amerlcus
Recorder says:
From one of the country to the
other there Is nothing but praise for
tho admirable manner In which Sav
annah pulled off the great Interna
tional auto races the past week. Not
a word of criticism as to the
rangements are heard from any
quarter. With a wonderful unanimity
the visitors have expressed themsel
ves as thoroughly satisfied So care
ful wore the managers In their plans
and in the execution of them, that
It does not appear possible for even
the most pessimistic critic to find
flaws to pick at .
It is not at all Improbable that
Savannah will be honored with a ro-
utrn engagement. That city is cleat'
ly entitled to one more turn at the
great International racing event
While Its arrangements this year were
seemingly flawless, and the affair
throughout awakened admiration and
commendation, it Is not at all Impro
bable that another year the races
would be (etfen more satla|actory.
Experience naturally teaches and
whatever defects may have existed In
the track have now been discovered.
It Is not at all unlikely that another
year would find a seventy mile record
established for the heavy car 400
miles race. In any event Savannah,
Just as might have been expected,
came out of the races covered with
glory and with the proud distinction
of being past master In tbe art of
handling a great sporting-event with
out accident and without complaint
In answer to several personal en
quiries, the eJItor of the Herald states
that W. H. Mitchell, now on trial for
abduction In TiiomasvtUe la- no re
lative to Judge Bob Mitchell, except
by marriage. Mr. T. C. Mitchell,
father cf W. H. Mitchell, tho accused,
belonged to another'Iamlly altogether
and at the close of the war he was
tho cnly ono left or the original mem
bers of his family In that section T.
C. Mitchell hunt the Mitchell house
having Inherited a large fortune from
his father. Dr. laaac Mitchell, and his
brother Wm. Mitchell.

Washington, Dec. 1.—Herbert U
Satterlee, of New York, son-in-law of
J. P. Morgan, today accepted the ap
pointment of Asstsant Secretary of
the Navy.
WHY. IS IT SO?
Why Is not the country prosperous
Why Is It that In the North and the
South, and perhaps only In less de
gree In the West, the business Inter
ests generally aro still suffering In
a measure from depression?
Here is Sec. of Agriculture Wilson
announcing In prond tones that tbe
crops this year are of the greatest
value the country baa ever known.
Eight billion dolars has come out of
the soil of tbe land through the efforts
of the farmers, If the. Secretary’s
figures are correct This, be states
breaks all previous records, the value
of last years’s crops having been five
hundred, million dollars below that
Why, then, the Jull times that are
said to exist? If Olod has blessed us
with crops worth eight billions of
dollars why Is not the country as a
whole overflowing with prosperity?
When the people read such state
ments as that Issued by the Secretary
of Agriculture they are apt to do con
siderable quiet thinking. And those
who are working steadily, and those
who find trouble In making both ends
meet even though they are working
on fill time and the farmera who
complain of low prices, and tbe mer
chants who complain of diminish
ed trade and poor collections, will be
to drink anything-again, ever".
From this It would seem as If Mr.
Taft had made up his mind to be
abstainer from all sorts of alcohollo
drink. It Is a fact that be never was
a heavy drinker. At the foregoing
dinner when Mr. Taft said he wasn’t
tolng to use Intoxicants again, a boy
hood friend who was present said:
"You never did drink enough so that
any one conld notice It.” Neverthe
less, It appears that he Isn’t going to
drink at all.
GOOD LUCK FOR THE EDITOR8.
Tho editors of the Herald rocelved
from Riley Rogers, of Lulaton this
morning, a box of fresh fish Just out
of the water. There. Is plenty of them
and they are fine. Two or three such
friends as Riley Rogers Is about all a
fellow needs In this world. We’U see
the gentleman later.
IN FOR THREE YEARS.
IA doctor came to ar patient In an
ibsano asylum, slapped 11m on the
back,- and said: “Well, old mnn,
you’re all right. You can run along
and write your folks that you'll be
?k home In two weeks as good as
new”.
The patient went off gaily to write
his letter. He had finished and seal
ed, but when he was licking the
stamp It slipped through his fingers
to the floor lighted on the baolf of a
vovhroach that was passing, and
stuck. The patient hadn’t seen the
cochroach—what he did see was his
escaped postage stamp zigzagging
aimlessly across the floor to the base
board, wavering up over tho base
board, and following a croockcd track
up the wall and across tho celling. In
depriessed silence he tore up the lei
ter that he had Just written and
dropped the pieces on the floor.
’Two weeks! Hell!” ho said. "I
won’t be out of here In throo years."

THE WISE ONE.
The wisest merchant In the winter
Is he who advertises.
And clears his store of remnant goods
And Illy sorted sixes.
He gives tbe printer man his ad.
And thus turns stock to money.
While other mehchanta doze around,
And never gather honey.
It’s Just as easy as can be ,
To-wln the business prizes—
Just Imitate the fellow who
Cuts loose and advertises!

We are right with you, “Unde” Sid
