The Maoou Telegraph of yesterday ssja: They tell us that there is to be some fnruling done in Atlnnta (luring the pn*w*nfc p<.-*>ion of thn IcuAnViUm*—the funning out of the office* In the Htnte for the next two ymni. But thin in not the kind of farming that wo need. We uou't lake much stock in what they” tell our Macon contemporary about the farming ont of ndet-s in Georgia. Such "farming” has been done in Atlanta, perhaps, but It cannot be anooesstnlly done now union the peo pie of the state prove untrue to them selves. Under onr primary system of nominating candidates the people have the eall on the polltioiana, and the day la past when the ofHoea of the state can be farmed out by a few self-appointed slate makers. If slates are made now the work most be done by men who have the people behind them, or they will get smashed. Mtn of ability and prominenoe still have their inflnenoe in the politics of the state, and it will always be so, bnt the day of political bosses and ent-and-dried conventions in Georgia Is past. The man who gets an office In Georgia now gets it by direct vote of the people. No etate In the Union has ever had fairer, aqnaret politics than we have had in Georgia during the past eight or ten years, and wherever the people haven't controlled it has been their own fault. A flail drinks water by absorption through every portion of tte body. That ia probably why a man who drinks like a fish is oalled uu old soak. Governor Candler's majority ; over Traylor, the populist nominee, ns shown by the consolidation of the returns of the recent eleotlon, was 67,310. Smith Olayton, who is doing Europe and writing about it to the Atlanta Jonrnal, has discovered that “there ia no temptress like tho Parisicnue temp tress.” The Chinese governor who committed suicide by eating gold leaf probably ohese that method of travoltng into the next world as next best to riding in a golden chariot. >wa,«i While it Is pretty wall established, 1 say* the Baltimore Bon, that the mos quito communicates the malaria germ to man, so that without mosquito bites one escapes the fever, it la alto estab lished that the moaqnito gets hia germs from man.

Not all mos| qnttoea communicato it, bnt only those few that have feasted on contaminated human blood.' That the disease la oon- treeled through moaqnito bitea seems to be tbown in the faot that oertaln per sona Who spent the paat summer months in wont malarial dlatriota of Italy and West Africa escaped ths fever wholly In virtue of the moaqnito nets they em ployed at all honr* to avoid being bitten.

The to- bogganlat climbs laboriously to tbe top of a long hill, plants his sled in position, seats himself on it and—swish 1 It's all over: the long, palnfnl climb upward la followod by an exhilarating downward dash whloh lasts for only the fraotion of a minute. So it is with the man who acoumnlntcs a great fortune. Be aohemes and strugglos and eaves year after year, squeezing the dollars till the eagles scream and denying himself the pleasores that most men find In the world.

Then his heirs get their hands on tho great (ortano accumulated otter so many years of toll ana self de nial, and—presto! It vanishes. It's nuothor case of climbing up the tobog gan bill and riding down, cnly some other fellow gets the nde. Cotton may deceive the farmor, and it is n well known foot that it lias rained thousands of them, bnt hog, hom iny and hay have never been known to go baok on him. Stevedores pat 33,738 bales of cotton on board ship at New Orleans the other day, thereby surpassing any single day’s reoord in the history of that port. On the same day two vessels oleared with 33,000 and 11,000 bales respectively. WILL THEY SANCTION It remains to be seen whether the legfslalure can be persuaded to sanc tion this scheme for Atlanta to get a now‘depot. The necessary legislation tt> carry it through would, it appears to ns, jar the Constitution of 1877, which effectually negatives the principle of state aid to railroads, communities, and corporations of every kind.—Albany Herald. Governor Candler in his message al ludes to tbe fact that there will be abont (483,000 in the state treasury, accruing from the sales of odds and ends. This money is to bo devoted to the payment of the bonded debt of the state, bnt by some itrango oversight these amounts were not credited to that account as they were paid into the treasury and the omission was not discorered until some eight months ago, when the treasurer discovered it and at onoe cred ited them to the proper acoount. The state hoe' no bonded debt doe until 1916 except that whloh is pro vided for by the sinking fund. The question arises what shall be done with this money f It has been suggested that the constitution should be so Amended as to authorise the suspension of the col lection of the sinking fond temporarily or that this money be applied to the pay ment of the interest on the bonded debt. Governor'Okndler submitted these faots to the general Assembly in order that It might dtreot the application of ibis War’ 1 " - ■' •<* *»i.' This Is Interesting beoanw this Is the fntJd that Atlanta proposes to use, If possible, to erect finnlon depot Ih that city. Its application to that' dfrectlofa wonld appear t6 be improper. The faot that this fdh'd has been diverted before is no argument for its misuses again Besides, Governor Candler Skfreealy SAyi that, while the' constitution pro vides’ that thea’S entai Shall be Applied only to the payment of the bonded debt, they have not until reoently’been cred ited to that account. Now that these soma have boon so reoogultad and set aside tfiff a^opld be used in * stootly legal way. The Albany Huuald is right. The constitution of 1877 wonld be strained by any snob appropriation.— Savannah Press. The newspapers are saying some very nioe things abont Hon. James M. Griggs, onr immediate representative in oon. gross, who has jnst returned from Dela ware, where he went in response to a oall from the national democratic cbm. ml ttee, supplemented by one from the chairman of the democratic committee of Delaware, to make campaign speeches. This is the aeoond oall Mr, Griggs has had to do oampalgn work in doubtful states. He first went to Mary, land, In whloh state he made several speeches. Those who are in position to know say that Mr. Griggs Is one of the strongest oampalgn speakers that the democrats have had In this campaign. He is brainy, well informed and good natnred. He has a way of getting elose j to tho people, and is a vote winner. His campaigning in other states has taken : him out of Ills own district for several ' weeks, bnt it is all right so far us th ! people of the district are concerned. Ho I lias enough friends, loyal and true, to | take oarc of him in overy comity lu tbe dlstriot, and will hnve a walk-over in November jntt as he had lu tile domo- ' oratio primary in June. | A bill to authorize the alienation of tho Danish West Iudics to the United SCHEME! TAKE YOU It CHOI E, COt. WIOHT. The grand jury at the spring term of Dougherty superior coart recommended that onr representative in the legislature lntrodnoe a bill to amend the act creat ing the city court of Albany and Dough erty county so as to provide that the judge and solicitor shall be elected by the people, and. following np that rec- omendation, the connty commissioners had the necessary citation givii g notice that suoh a local bill wonld he In troduced In the legislature published. Bnt the grand jury at the October term of onr enperior court took issue with the grand juTy at the spring term on the question of electing the judge and solicitor, and reoommended in the very strongest terms that onr represent ative in the legislators nse all honorable means to defeat the proposed bill. And there it ia. The question is “np to” Ool. Wight, onr able representative in the legislature, and he will have to choose between the two reoommends done of the two grand juries. One grand jury says elect the judge and solloitor of the oity oonrt by the people; the other gnuld jnry aaya, tn effect, for God's sake don't do lk; leave tbe ap pointment of these officials to' the gov- emor; we have had enough of tbe eleo tlon of judges and solicitors by the peo- pie already.. . it It ia a well known faot that Ool. Wight became disgusted with the new plan of electing the superior court judges and aplioitors during the cam palgn last summer, and it Is, therefore, probable that he will, in the exercise of his right to choose between tbe oonfliot- ing grand jury presentments, favor the plan recommended by -the jury at the October torn of the oourt and leave the appointment of the judge and solicitor of onr olty oonrt with:the.gover as .the origins) not creating the oonrt .provide*. The New York Commercial is much Impressed witli the rapid development of the oittou manufacturing Industry of the sontli. This seotton, It says, has now 4,801,930 spindle- in active opera- tiou, and daring tho present year will bring 1,418,407 more spindles into play, closing tbo year with some 6.350,000 spindles. Slnoe 1880 tbe progress has been amazing, both in the growing and in tho manufacturing of cotton. In other lines also the progress has been phenomenal. Iron and Bteel making, ooal mining, lumbering, the ootton seed oil industry, diversification of crops, railroading, banking and education—in all these great things have been accom plished. The Bouth is today emphati cally tho most promising field of enter prise in the Union.

The doctors are trying to make the mosquito ont a terrible little insect that not only aunoys people dreadfully with his Binging and biting, but also carrhs around with him dangeroas little germs of Deruicioas aud deadly fevers. Re cently they have been eudeavoriug to show beyond a Bhadow of a doubt that if it w.-re not for tho mosqnito there would not be so many cases of malarial, fever—that, in fact, the malarial fever: genn would be unable to get ont of the swamps and other damp places and make people ill. j Dr. WalterReed.snrgeonintheUnited States army, has gone a step farther, than other doctors in the effort to make j it appear that the mosqnito is a deadly i enemy of the human race. In an i article in the current number of the' Philadelphia Medical Journal ha under- takes to show that, tho pesky Inwi Is largely responsible for tho ep .-cl of yellow fever. ^ HiB Investigations were mmle ibis fall at Colombia barracks, Qnemados, Cuba Mosquitoes that had bitten yellow fevor patients were turned loose on 11 indi viduals who were non-immunes. Of this nnmber 3 were infected, and suf fered from severe oases of yellow fever. and 0 showed no result whatever. It in | 1 • stated in Dr. Reed’s paper that most of | the 9 who were not Infeoted were blttep by mosquitoes that had been In. contaot with very mild oases of yellow fever The 3 who were infeoted were bitten .by] mosquitoes whioh had bitten persons who were suffering from severe cases of the fever. Dr. Reed’s paper shows that bis in vestigations were thorough and pains taking. His sincerity is apparent in what he writes. He is oonfldent that the mosqnito is a carrier of tile yellow fever germ, or if there ie no germ, then the yellow fever poison. One thing appears certain, and that is that if the dootors oontinue to Insist that mosquitoes and flies spread diseases peo- pie will b* so afraid of the Insects that they will insistupon going around in*’ eased in mosquito and fly proteotors. j “Dashing for the north pole" ooui traces to be a favorite pastime with the arctic explorers of this country - and Europe. -For many yearn ambitious Americans and Europeans have been ■dashing" periodically, and; past foli- nree have not had thoeffedt of dilolp( •nlng the ardor of those who-stili think a lasso can be thrown over the magnet It ia reported that the presidenoy of Washington and Lee University, made vacant by the death of William L.

The qnesrion arises: Who has given the Danish government reason to beliove that the United States are pre pared to accept the islands at the price named, or at any other prioe? Our re cent experience In the matter of insnlar purchases has not been so pleasant as to encourage immediate further experi ments in the same line. Political feeling ia evidently running high in the upper part of New York state. At Pine Hill the Pine Hill brass band drew np alongside the Roosevelt special to sound a welcome. Bnt the band didn't play. Three members of the band happened to bo dyed-in-the- wool democrats, and when they saw the republican candidate and bis party they evidently didn't like the way they looked. Anyhow, the three democratio members refused to play and the serenade had to be oalled off. It is a bit of a mystery how a bank teller can steal (700,000 before be ing caught up with.

In his speech in Brooklyn some da; ( ago Mr. Hill said; "I make no apology to any one for aotivity in this campaign. It is sufficient that some leading princi ples in whioh a citizen believes are ad vooated by the party with whioh he is associated to justify his support of that party regardless of its attitnde on subordinate questions whioh he may or may not approve " Disappointed office seekers who may feel disposed to iuvade the offices of Hon. O. B. Stevens, in the state capital building, for the purpose of cleaning out the agricnltaral department, will do well to profit by the experience of the Hon. Wellborn Prioe, member of the last general aaaembly of Georgia from Ooonee county. As will be scon by reference to an article published else where in the Herald, Mr. Stevens knows a thing or two abont handling belligerently Inclined ex-repreeentatives. We hope no farmer in this section will go into the all cotton folly. Sow Wheat.—Rome Tribune. Yes; sow wheat.

And while talking about planting things, jnst pat in an acre or two of rice and cassava. “There's millions in it.”— Worth Local. If appearances amonnt to anything, Mr. Bryan has the people on his side this year. Never, in the history of the republic, hns n presidential candidate received such ovations as have been ac corded the democratic nominee since the opening of the campaign.

One of the lint acta of the Dele government after it got into power was to take the franchise from the great body of natives 1 who had enjoyed It for yean, and this »as done by establishing a very stiff property qualification. Bnt. for this action the Dole party wonld have been voted ont of existence and no one knew it better than themielvee.
