OUR POPULATION IN 1010.
The preparations being made by Con
gress for taking the l!Uu census have
started the statisticians to making esti
mates of the population of the country,
and predictions of what it will be in
1950. James J. Hill recently made the
prediction that the United States would
have a population of 250,000,000 by
1950, although other experts in vital
statistics place the number as low as
1'|5,')00,000. One of the e< n us experts.
W. S. Rossi ter, has just published an
article in which he estimates the popu
lation in 1910 at about 114,000,000, and
ventures the assertion that after that
date the rate of increase will be very
small, with the prospect that the entire
population in 1950 will not exceed 130,-
000,000.
The record shows that the rate of our
population increase is dftoinishiiig with
each decennial year. The increase from
1870 to 1380 was III per cent. From
1881) to 1890 it was 24 per cent. From
1890 to 1900 it was but 21 per cent.
Mr. Rossiter argues that if this declin
ing ratio continues the population in
1950 will not exceed 130,000,000,and will
thereafter remain about stationary. He
shows by the records that all estimates
of population at former census periods
have been greatly exaggerated, and
that if it were not for ever-increasing
reinforcements from abroad, the
United States would be making very
poor headway in the way of population.
The Rome Tribune-Herald pays this
tribute to Congressman Gordon Lee,
of the Seventh district: “Representa
tive Gordon Lee makes no pretensions
to oratory, and prefers to be known as
u ‘working Congressman,’ but at the
same time when he talks ho always
suys something. Sometimes he rises to
heights of eloquence not equaled by the
professional talking machine. The
other day he secured an appropriation
to rebuild a church at Resaca, destroyed
during the Civil War. During the
course of his remarks he gave voice to
tiie following beautiful sentiment:
“ ‘The same qualities that made
good soldiers made enterprising citi
zens, and there is an inspiring dill'er-
enee between this section to-day and
the battle-blighted region of forty-four
years ago. The smoke of factories and
foundries, the hum of industries, the
fertile soil well-tended, yielding abun
dant harvests, all announce the prog
ress we have made, and now all pro
claim the blessings of peace; and my
people to-day love Ibis great republic
as devotedly as they had ever loved
another whose .memory they still
cherish.’ ’’
Out of 2,500 boys who smoke cigar
ettes an expert authority claims that
only six are bright. Prof. William Me-
Keever, of the Kansas Agrieultural De
partment. has tabulated reports based
on personal investigation ot the condi
tion of two hundred cigarette-using
school boys, and in describing them has
exhausted such adjectives as "sallow,”
“sore-eyed,” “puny,” “squawky-
voiced,” “sickly,” “short-winded”
and “extremely nervous.” Cigarette-
smoking boys and students, Prof. Mc-
Keever found,suffered from sore throat,
weak eyes, pain in the chest, short
wind, stomach trouble and pain in the
heart. The effect on mental activity
was marked. Several very youthful
smokers were nearly imbeciles, and out
of nearly 2,500 examined only six were
marked bright students, ten were aver
age, and the rest were poor or worth
less.
For nearly four months the project
of building a railroad from Franklin via
Newnan to the A., It. & A. road has
been agitated in Newnan, and a consid
erable sum has been subscribed to get
the enterprise started. But the sub
scriptions have been neither so numer
ous nor so liberal as the importance
of the undertaking would seem to de
mand, and our Heard county friends
arc getting impatient. If the people
of Newnan and Coweta county are sin
cere in their desire for this valuable
railroad connection, let them prove
their sincerity by attending the public
meeting at the court-house next Tues
day night and declaring in dollars and
cents whether they really want the
railroad. More talk will not build it.

It has been customary for many
years past to inaugurate our Governors
in this State with imposing ceremonies,
both civil and military, the pomp and
circumstance attending these occasions
varying in degree according to the love
of display manifested by the several
distinguished Georgians who have been
culled to the Governor’s chair. Hon.
Job. M. Brown, who will be inaugu
rated next summer, has announced that
lie will dispense with all this flummery,
and will insist upon the simplest form
of ceremony necessary to legally and
properly induct him into office.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Couch-Elder Mfg. Co, was held last
Monday, and after discussing the mat

done in the past. A majority of this
stock - has already been subscribed for
by tiie present stockholders.

Prohibition Legislation in Tennessee
and Texas.
Moonshine Stills Galore in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 19.—An increase
in the number of moonshine whiskey
stills destroyed in Alabama, Florida
and Georgia during the past six months.
Nashville, Jan. 19. Gov. Patterson I as compared with any previous six
this afternoon filed with the Senate
Clerk a message vetoing the State
wide prohibition bill, which last week
passed both Houses of the Legislature.
The Governor’s action followed the ad
journment of the Senate after it had
passed on third reading a bill prohib
iting the manufacture in Tennessee of
intoxicating liquors. Consequently the
veto will he read to the Senate to
morrow, when it must he sustained or
passed over the Executive’s protest.
Opponents of the bill claim to-night
they can count on a change of three
Senators to their side and the fourth
member on whose vote the faith of the
measure depends is wavering. Should
there he a change of four votes the
veto will he sustained seventeen to six
teen. Bill is made effective July 1,
1909.
'file bill prohibiting the manufacture
of liquor was amended so as to become
clfective Jan. 1, 1910.
Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 21.—Wildly
exciting scenes attended the passage of
the State-wide prohibition hill over the
veto of Gov. Patterson yesterday.
State-wide prohibition is now a fact
in Tennessee, and the bill eliminating
the saloons from Tennessee goes into
effect on July 1 of this year.
Austin. Tex., Jan. 19. — There were
such exciting times in the House of the
lex as Legislature Monday afternoon
during the debate over the prohibition
submission question that the Speaker
found it necessary to send the ser
geant-at-arms into the galleries to
quiet those who interrupted the mem
bers in their debate.
The principal interruption was attend
ant upon the speech made by Repre
sentative Fitzhugh of Tarrant county,
who was speaking in opposition to the
submission amendment.
After an entire afternoon of debate
those who opposed the measure tried to
force a vote, hut failed. They devel
oped a vote of 44 antis and 81 pros on
this vote. It will require 89 votes to
pass the measure in the House.
Farmers’
Union Members to
Suits of Cotton.
Wear
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 19.—The four hun
dred delegates of the Farmers’ Union
in session here since yesterday have
passed a resolution providing for the
adoption of a uniform suit of cotton
clothing, to he worn by farmers while
at work on the farm. A committee
will take the matter in hand for the
purpose of perfecting the details.
If the 3,000,000 members of the Union
throughout the country fall in line
with this new movement, and provide
themselves with working suits of cotton
cloth, it is apparent that they will at
once create a new and important use
for their great product.
‘ Right in line with this action was the
passage of a resolution by unanimous
vote to insist on and encourage the ex
tension of the uses of cotton in the
manufacture of bags and bagging used
in covering commercial packages.
It is expected that before the con
vention adjourns it will take some ac
tion probably on the question of the
consolidation of the Union warehouses,
of which there are now about 100 in
Georgia. The warehouse movement is
one of the most important features of
the Union’s programme.
After Forty Years.
According to the opinion of Attorney-
General Hart all special elections held
in the State prior to July 1. 1909, must
be conducted under the old registration
regulations, although the now registra
tion law, passed by the last Legislature
and ratified at the polls in November,
became effective Jan. 1. 1909. The law
requires that all voters participating
in any election must have registered at
least six months before the election is
held. In view of the fact that the law
tiid not become effective until the first
of the present year, it is manifestly
impossible for any voter to participate
in any election held within six months
unless he is allowed to vote under the
old registration.
During the year 1906 Georgia char-
Philadelphia Record.
During the Civil War, when Benjamin
Franklin Butler was running things in
New Orleans very much after the Cas
tro style in Venezuela, on his demand
the Citizens Bank of Louisiana turned
over to him a deposit of $215,820 mude
in the bank by the Confederate Govern
ment. The deposit was made in Con
federate paper money, but Butler re
fused a tender of this money and com
pelled the bank to pay him by draft on
New York in United States money.
The money was afterward turned into
the Federal Treasury, and there it has
remained to this day.
This high-handed proceeding of Gen.
Butler admitted of no justification; but
the bank has been for the past twenty-
five years appealing in vain for repay
ment. President after President has
admitted the merit of the claim.
Twenty-five reports have been made
hy Senate and House committees favor
ing reparation. Favorable opinions
have been given hy Attorney Generals.
Five times the Senate passed a hill pro
viding for repayment. But tmal action
was balked by Representative Thaddeus
Mahon of this State. Now that his
constituency has concluded to dispense
with further service at the hands of
Thaddeus, both Senate and House have
oassed the belated bill and it is in the
hands of the President. He will surely
sign it.

United States Internal Revenue De
partment here.
Three hundred and ninety-seven illi
cit stills were destroyed in the three
States and about two thousand gallons
of whiskey seized.
Eighty per cent, of the stills, de
stroyed were in Georgia. To right and
to left distilleries were found. They
were on all sides, and the revenue
force kicked them up like so many rab
bits. Never, however, for an instant
was the number appreciably decreased.
In the place of those taken, others
sprang up,'and they, being in turn cap
tured, only gave place to others. With
out let-up the matter of raiding went
on, and the revenue force is now look

Oldest Clock in Georgia.
•Senoia, Ga., Jan. 15.—Perhaps the
oldest clock in Georgia to-day is owned
by Judge A. J. Baughn, near Senoia.
It is an old-timer, with wooden wheels,
and has been in constant use for over
one hundred and twenty years.
Judge Baughn’s grandmother bought
the clock second-hand in 1788. His
mother came in possession of this same
clock in 1838. and the Judge became
its owner in 1878.
^ This old time-piece is giving good
service now, and is prized very highly
by Mr. Baughn.
Mrs. Hoke Smith is Seriously Ill.
Atlanta, Jan. 19. -Mrs. Hoke Smith,
wife of the Governor, is seriously ill
at the Executive Mansion on Peach
tree street, and her condition has
aroused considerable uneasiness on the
part of her family and friends. Mrs.
Smith’s health has not been good for
several months, and it was the purpose
of the Governor to tak'e her to Florida
this week, hut unless her condition im
proves it will he necessary to postpone
the trip.
