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. pitted. .already been strung as far as Haial- year was 2,775 and the authorized cap-i son- -phis will be very convenient, and ital stock $9,710,00o.

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 ter at some length it was decided to is sue $29,000 preferred stock, in order to push the business better than they have done in the past. A majority of this stock - has already been subscribed for by tiie present stockholders. Brantley Institute is enjoying one of the most prosperous years in its histo ry.

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. Isn’t it strange how Tootsie and Wootsie will sit so-near on the so-far in the parlor. months, was reported to-day by the 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 ing back pn, thp six busiest months in it's 'history. 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.
