claim* m mlvntu'eil by the Atlatito
Journal lu the fnl’mriu* Htnlement,
which la token (ram one of its Ionics
publltlinl last wivk. It nmda a* fol
low*: "Ily actual couut, tborc will bo
flfty-flvo eerl.tln Democratic vote* In
the next li-Klslaturo for. llenry (3. Tur

Id Unite who rave undo It their bus-
lne*s to keep ported on Ibe prngren* of
tho lenntorlal cnmpnlKii the above
Htatemciit Is decidedly amusing. We,
of course, do not know who made this
"actual oount” for our friends of Iho
Journal, but wc mqtgost llmt they have
their young man who furnished those
- flgurr* revise his arithmetic, and also
make a closer study of tho political
situation In tho threo comtressionnl
districts named.
It happens tlmf wo nine have been
dovotlng soino attention to the political
situation In these district* since the to-
cent alnto election, nnd we have every
reason to believe that tho olalm put
tonvnnl for Mr. Turner hy his very
zealous supporter, iho Journal, cannot
be sustained hy the cjld facts of tho
ease. We also have coin some count
ing, nnd therefore wdl submit to our
render* what wo believe to bo an ap
proximately tv,meet statement of the
voto In Uic districts In question.
We conccffi', of court.-, that Mr. Tur
ner Is naturally strong In tho three ills-
trleta named, by reason of the fact
that he tin* represented tho Second,
now represents the Eleventh, anil has
active friends wftkiug for him In tho
Flint, lint tho friend* of oiher emdl-
dates liavo not been Idle, nnd tho fol
lowing figures will show that their
work lias been otteot'v*.
The counties of Ihc F.rst, Second and
penology
convict must bo kepi from escaping
and nude to earn UU living. 'J'be ou
tlet problem In this state Is a trouble-
oolite one and one about wb.rh the pub
lic conscience Ik Sore, and a principal
keeper Is neodisl who wilt no', ugly lie
able to protect the present Interests of
Hie Slate bur who will be able lo help
lu .nst.tmlUK such a new penitentiary
system as will satisfy the requirement*
of an advanced civilization. In lUUag
till* office, therefore, the new governor
cannot afford to please those who are
urging the claims of a candidate upon
him, unless that candidate' >upp<;U* to
be the best man In Georg.i for tho
place.
The same reasoning applies. In
a general way, to tho c**e
of Iho commissioner of educa
tion. Tbc business of tbit offle.nl It
to administer the affairs nnd constantly
Improve a great system of public
schools. Ho might, therefore, to bo :t
man thoroughly familiar with public
school work. Tim mere fact that a
man hat taught school, nnd taught suc-
1 oertfully, I* not sufficient to prove that
ho would make a good commissioner.
The special knowledge of public School
work It necessary, and besides tbit
knowledge tbc commissioner should lie
n progressive man, with high Ideals,
end with the force of character nnd
onthiwU’Sm llmt will Impress them
upon the whole system.
At we hare sniff, Ur. Atkinson's task
la a difficult one, but we believe lie
I* big enough and true enough to :>cr-
form it well
TIIB D1XIB INTEKSTATB FAIR.
All the Indications uow lire that this

successful expositions that ever oc

least, tho rapid strides flint Georgia
hns made in pinny directions In recent
years. The exhibits, we are told,
cover a very largo Uno of Industrie*.
Tlio managers say tho agricultural dis
plays will be the laigest ever seen In
any Southern exposition. We note this
special fcaturo of Ilia fair with it great
deal of pleasure. Tho 300 people that

Wc submit this showing of the rela

careful nnd thorough examination, nnd
It It based on Information which wo
believe to he entirely reliable. We de

as bis long connection with the paper will
attest.—Eastman Tlmes-Journat.

NERVY AND QUICK TO ACT.
A Locomotlvo rireiuon'i Courage Wlian a
Life Wa* In Danger*
“Som« year* ago,” said n gray halted
veteran In railroading, “wo received a
new locomotive on our road of very pccul*
lar pattern, being equipped with many
new patent*, wherthy great speed was to
be attained. 1 was superintendent of tho
road then and determined to tako it out
mywrif on a special schedule and txscortaln
If tho now ideas weru practical. I picked
out a first class cnlgnmr and fireman to
accompuny mo. The latter was (l feet tall
and built In proportion. Well, tho loco
motlvo proved to bo all tho builders claim-
ed'for her nnd ran the record up to G4
mile* an hour, which Is quite a kpeod for
our road, being possra^cd of many sharp
curves nnd grades.
“When tho cnglno was going her beet
nnd hod just rounded a sharp curve, I no
ticed directly ahead of lue allttto girl half
way across n single truck bridge that
■panned qulto n body of water. Thero
wn* no rooii) for ns both on tho structure,
and in despair 1 pulled tho whistlo nnd
triodi although I knew It Was n hopeless
task, to stop tho eogino. At the shrill
shriek of the whistlo reached tho little
girl's card sho turned, and seeing tbn en
gine boaring down upon iicr ran ahead n
fow steps, nnd then, realizing tho impossi
bility of reaching tho other sUlo before tho
engino would bo upon her, sho sprang to
i !i" m>!o of tiif Htrurturv' nml with ;i -cr<*nm
jumped into tho docp water 20 feet below.
“As tho llttlu girl’s form sank beneath
tho watci 1 another flguro whistled through
tho air. It was that big Urcmnu of mine.
Ho bad seen tho child simultaneously with
me and acting Instantly Imd jumped down
between tho engino mid tender, and ns tho
.girl sprang into tho water ho leaped nftor
her. Owing to tho tcloclty of tho train
his body whirled around like a ball beforo
ho .struck tho water. My fireman had
hardly disappeared under the water than
the girl was seen several yards in front of
hlin, but ho quickly cainu to tho aurfneo
and struck out after her. Tho llttlo thing
went down a second time, but as sho roso
my fireman was by her side, and grasping
bur firmly managed to reach tho shore al
most exhausted. Wo immediately deserted
tho special and rushed down to tho bank
of tho river and yelled oncourngemcnt to
tho bravo fellow. Aa hecaino out, pulling
like a porpoise, wc gavo him three cheers
nnd a tiger, and he only replied to it with
tho remurk, ‘Christopher Columbus, but
tlmt wator is coldl* K —Washington Star.
Modesty*
Modesty seems to bo tho least popular
of tho virtues. Years ago Bttiwur Lytton
wrot« a charming llttlo story of tho Vir-
tuos starting out on a pilgrimage with tho
aim of finding a home. Each Virtun had
a hard time, but not ono of them mot with
such serious experiences ns poor Modesty.
Modesty traveled tho length- nnd breadth
of London, vainly seeking refuge. No ono
hnd ever heard of Modesty. Tho allegory
applies at prosont. The tidni wave of real
ism has made rough nailing for modesty.
In literature, in tho drama, in life itself—
civilized life, metropolitan llfo—moriosty
has no home. Society, the Turkish bath
and tho scashoro are tho three agents roost
vigorous In exterminating tho divine vir
tue. Ench in turn administers nn onrth-
qunko shock to modesty as It dwolls with
in tho nature of woman. Tho tempic of*
modosty recovers from ono or two earth
quake shocks, nnd after that as a dwelling
it Is nonhabltable, and modesty moves
out. I am looking for a refovm movement
In this direction. Where is tho national
Christian league that works persistently
In tho interest of purity, and where is the
Pinkertonlau Comstock that tho living
pictures of tho .sensbora disturb not his
droumsf Human cba.ms of u muterlal or
der nra much lu vogue these days. Per
haps it's all right; but, alas, poor modesty!

Tho aroma ot rod cedar is said to bo
fatal to houKo moths. The aroma of block
walnut leaves is fatal to (leas. It is a mat
ter of commou ob&ervatloii that persons
rngagtxl In tho business of making shin
gles out of odoriferous cypress timber in
malarial districts are rarely If ever affected
by malarial U1»oas<»*, and Iks) persons en
gaged In distilling turpentine do not- suf
fer from either malarial diseases or con
sumption. It is Mid that when cholera
was epidemic in Mcnxphl* persons work
ing in livery stables were entirely exempt
from it. It is aflirmed that since the de
struction of tho clove trees on the island of
Tcrnato the colony lioa suffered from epi
demics unknown before, und lu timos
when cholera hns prevailed In London und
Paris those employed In the perfumery
factories have escaped Ita ravages.—Phila

UU Interest.
During a trial for tho recovery of a

pawnbroker was so indifferent about the

"Ym. 10 per cent a month," replied th«
pawnbroker ulowly and relapsed Into his
former condition.—Detroit Free Press.
