EDITOBIALETTES,
The agony is over—the Georgia
legislature is a thing of the past.
Always say a
your home town.

HERE AND
THERE.
Gainesville'
One reason a woman always
gets off the street car backwards
is that she wants to be different
from the men.
Pope Leo is dead, Pius X has
been crowned, the Georgia legisla
ture has adjourned, yet the suu
still rises and sets.
The people had to pay the ex
penses of the lobbying investiga
tion, as they have always had to
pay the heavy taxes caused by the
lobbyists.
Mr. Spalding jumped on Mr.
Houston for calling him a “per
nicious lobbyist, ” but the people
know Mr. Houston told the truth,
just the same.
With plenty of watermelons,
peaches, apples and vegetables to
eat at present, and sweet pota
toes a-coming in who could keep
from smiling?
Mr. Moses wanted to keep the
press boys out of the legislative
halls. We’ll bet that Mr. Moses
is not closely related to the babe
that was found in the grass on the
water’s edge.
Since the mobbing and lynch
ing of so many negroes on the
other side of the line, the north
ern newspapers don’t have much
to say about southern cruelties to
their brother-in-black.
The political pot is beginning
to boil in Hall county. The boys
cant all be elected’, but they can
publish their announcements in
the News and show that they
want to be. Ic only costs $5.
The proper way for Atlantans
to settle their milk question and
for Maconites to get rid of their
musquitoes is for both to come to
Gainesville, where there are no
mosquitoes the year round, and
the milk is always pure and fresh.
Gen. Young will not be long at
the head of the general staff of the
army, as he will soon reach the
age of retirement. Gens. Chaffee
and MacArthur, who follow
Young in rank, are also well ad
vanced in age and will be 64
in a few years. And then there
will be Gen. Corbin. Gen. Leonard
Wood may be expected to bob up
somewhere near the top, too, in
the event that Roosevelt has an
other term.
The street car people have de
cided to reduce the fare to the riv
er from fifteen cents to ten cents
for the round trip. When the com
pany first gave it out that they
were going to charge fifteen cents
to go to the river and back, I
thought they were wrong, but not
wanting to be considered a knock
er, I kept still. I am glad they
have come to my way of thinking.
I have always thought that five
cents was enough to pay for riding
ou the street cars for any reason
able distance, and there are hun
dreds of people in Gainesville who
are of my way of thinking. N6w,
keep your eve on the river line
and see what the difference will
be in the number of people who
visit the river than have been go
ing out there heretofore. I predict
that twice as many people will vis
it Chattahooche park next Sunday
as visited it last Sunday. The
gentlemen who are at the head of
the street car company are to be
congratulated on making this re
duction, and there are hundreds of
people in the city who will thank
them tor so doing. The Gaines
ville Street Railway has done
wonderful work in the upbuilding
of our city, and they deserve the
patronage of all the people. But
to get that patronage they must
“tote fair.” Reducing the tare to
the river to ten cents is “toting
fair.”
Not only the Georgia prison
commission, but the Georgia leg
islature as well, will make an in
vestigation of the whipping of
Mamie DeCris, the white woman
from Savannah, who was lashed
at the state prison farm at Mill-
edgeville several months ago.
Mid-Summer
AT
At a negro picnic and ball game
one mile from Villa Rica, Satur
day last. Red Mayo, without warn
ing or provocation, after “tank
ing up’’ on corn whisky, shot and
killed Lee Ross, an inoffensive and
hard working negro youth nine
teen years of age.
Abul Hamid, the sultan of Tur
key, has announced his determina
tion to put down the Macedonian
rebellion with a strong hand. It
is announced that he intends to
fill the country with Albanian
troop-, which means the reciudes-
ence of massacre.

“I tell you what,” said a busi
ness man to me the other day,
“Gainesville has less policemen
than any city of its size in the
country. Show me a town of
6,000 inhabitants any where that
hasn’t got more then three police
men and a chief and I'll climb a
tree. All kinds of devilment
could be committed on the out
skirts of the city and before a
policeman could get there, under
the present system, the perpetra
tors could be gone. What police
men we have at present are good,
conscientious officers, but we need
more of them. They do their
duty as far as they are able, but
they can’t be everywhere. Then
the chief should be mounted so
that he would be able to ride over
the city at least twice a day. I
know it would cost a little more
money to do all this, but when it
comes to keeping down crime and
the lawless element, dollars and
cents shouldn’t be counted. I
don’t know much about the gov
ernment of a city, but am satisfied
that we need more policemen here.
I will leave it to any fair-minded
person if I am not right. As the
city grows, her officers should be
increased. We should have at
least four patrolmen, one sanitary
inspector and a chief over them all.
And the chief should be mounted. ”
The Rounder.
Seven Thousand Idle.
A dispatch Irom Fall River, Mass
says: The shut down of the mills of
this city will not be more extensive this
week than last, and rather less than
the week before.
The curtailment may be summarized
as follows: Operatives 7,500; spindles
idle 750,000; reduction of production
100,000 pieces; saving to the mills in
weekly wages $50,000. Twelve corpor
ations and sixteen mills affected.
This condition of affairs is likley to
continue for six weeks or until the
new crop of cotton is on the market*

Hi
Tbe Bureau of Ethnology,
Washington, is to investigate that
recent “sun dance,” on the Ara
pahoe and Cheyenne reservation.
It is alleged the “dance” was in
stigated by an official of the bu
reau and a scientist, who paid $15
for the exhibition. Certain In
dians cut skin from their bodies
and otherwise mutilated them
selves with knives for the edifica
tion of the white men. When the
responsibility has been fixed the
officials at fault will be dismissed
from tbe bureau.
A New Jersey man, bitten near
