Says Charles . Dole, in The At
lantic: There can be no harm in lik
ing to “get rich” quickly. Let us
call things by their right narfies.
Avarice, greed, injustice are wrong;
they hurt society and dwarf a man’s
own soul. But we are made to enjoy
success in whatever we do. Does
not a farmer like to have a grand
crop—a hundredfold over what he
put into the ground? Does not
every fisherman like to strike a
gchool of mackerel or Mueflslx? ‘All
inventions and the labor-gaving ap
plicaticn of natural powers are simp
ly means to bring about the most
rapid production of ' wealth. The
complaint never ought' to be that
riches are produced too rapidly, but
that they are not fairly distributed,

" These remarkable dedqé'thnzzx are
from a New York World editorial:
Modern war has become so costly that
no nation can engage in gg%t
without borrowing millions of dol
lars. No coyntry has enough mondy
in its possessions at any time to
finance a war. It.cost Japan, for ex
ample, $1,000,000 a day in its strug
gle with Russia. Even America, with
its great wealth, gould not go to war
without first calling for funds. In
the whole world there is only $6,-
000,000,000 in gold. A war between
any two great Powers costs alto
fgether approximately $1,000,000,000
a year. A conflict like the Russo

on credit. In the United States the
amount of gold is less than $2,000,-
000,000, while the bank clearances
in one year are more than seventy
times that sum. The total public
debts of the nations amount to more
than five times the world's available

Judge W. F. Eve threw a bomb
among the blind tigers of Augusta in
his sentence of J. K. Allen and Fred
Elliott, the two white men convicted
of having liquor for the purpose of sale.
It had been rumored that the sentence
would be served, but the reality proved
worse than the talk. Allen was given
a fine of SOOO and six months in jail,
and Elliott a fine of S4OO and four
months' confinement,
This is belleved to be the first jall
sentence for violation of the new. pro
hibition law in the whole state. Judge
Eve announced that he expected this
would put an end to the tigers in the
county, but if it did not he would apply
the limit to the next offenders and
give them twelve months in the chain

Excitement over the horsewhipping
of Dr. Bailey, superintendent of Canon
city school, is stlll at fever heat
Threats are now being made to horge

chairman of the board of trustees.
The posse was allowed to go pending
trial before the mayor. ’
Out of an enrollment of over two
hundred pupils the women who did the
horsewhipping represented less than 10
per cent and pay less than 6 per cent
of the special tax levied for gchool pur
poses,
Canon has but a small population,
and this affair is deeply regretted by
the Dest citizens. Sinee Dr, Bailey
has been principal of the school the
town has progressed by leaps and
bounds, exceeding any town in north
eagt Georgia. T
It appears that the cause of the whip
ping of Dr. Balley by the women was
certain statements which he is alleged
to have made, The women demanded a
retraction, which was made by him, i+
This was followed by the demand
that he resign as principal, turn over,

FIGHT ON HUNDLEY,
Charges Against Alabama Federal
Judge Under Investigation by
Senate Committee. -
A Washington special: The subcom
mittee of the senate committee on the
judiciary appointed to investigate the
eharges against Judge O. R. Hundley,
whose appointment ag federal judge of
the northern district of Alabama, is
before the senate for confirmation, met
Saturday and examined T. G. Bush of
Birmingham, one of the receivers of
the Southern Steel company, whose
appointment by Hundley is held against
his record.
During the hearing a query was pro
pounded as to whether Senator John
ston of Alabama had recommended the
appointment of Bush to Judge Hundley.
Senator Johnston, who was present at
the hearing, emphatically denied this
was the case. He said he was a friend
of Bush, but had made no recommen
dation concerning the appointment as
a recelver,
Augustus Benners, attorney for the
creditors of the Southern Steel com
pany, who drew the complaint against
the board of receivers and trustees ap
pointed by Hundley, was recalled by
the committee and asked for an expla
nation of a resolution offered in a cred
itor's meeting by.the president of the
First National Bank of Birmingham,
commending the receivers Hundley had
placed in power. This resolution was
supported by Benners, but he said that
subsequent acts of the receivers had
not justified it.

‘BUM MARRIAGE VOIDED.
Countess of Yarmouth, Sister of Harry
Thaw, Given Divorce from Hus
* band in Name Only.
- A London dispatch says: Sir Birrell
Barnes, president of the divorce court,
Wednesday, granted the countess of
Yarmouth, who wag Misg Alice Thaw
of Pittsburg, Pa., a decres nullifying
her marriage to the earl of Yarmouth,
The case was heard in private and
was practically undefended, the hear
‘ng lasting for only half an hour. The
fiountess was present, but the earl ot
Yarmouth was not in court.
~ Only four witnesses were examined.
They were the countess of Yarmouth
hergelf, her maid, a doctor appointed
by the court, and an Amerjcan law
yer, who proved the marriage.
The countesg gave evidence in sup
port of her allegation that the mar
riage had never been consummated,
and the maild testified that the earl
and the countess had been living as
man and wife.
The judge pronounced his decree an
nulling the mariage without comment.
The change from the previous deter
mination of the earl of Yarmouth to
contest the case is said to have been
influenced by the evidence given re
.cently in New York at the trial of
Harry Thaw, brother of the countess,
with regard to insanity in the Thaw
family, as well as the verdict of the
jury that Harry Thaw was insane when
he killed White, :
It has been well known that the do
mestic affairs of the Yarmouths were
unhappy. The earl’s companions and
his manner of living, it was said, were
such that he could not give his Jvife
the place in society which she had a
right to expect. She supplied large
sums of money to defray her husband’s
extravagances,

PROHIBITION MEASURE
Introduced in Senate by Bacon of
Georgia — Would Make Liquor
Shipments a Special Class.
Senator Bacon of Georgia introduced
a prohibition bill in the senate Monday
which seeks to make interstate liquor
shipments a special class in interstate
commerce, to be subject to the local
police powers of the state upon ar
rival at the point of destination and
before delivery to the consignee. The
bill provides that all vinous, malt and
spiritoug liquors within a state, as well
as the regulation and control of same,
shall be entirely subject to local con
trol, regardless of whence the liquor
comes. Liquor sent in the original
package is included on the same basis
as liquor produced within the state.
Such liquor shipments from abroad
are to be under the protection of the
interstate commerce law until their
arrival at the place of destination. No
delivery shall be made at any other
point than the regular designated
place of the common carrier, nor is
any officer or employee permitted to
act as agent for 2zither the sale or to
collect from either party the purchase
price of the liquor carried. The rail
road or express company can trans
port the liquor, but that is all. No
carrier is permitted to receive for
transportation liquor consigned to a
fictitious person, or without consign
ment to any person or to deliver the
liquor except in accordance with the
local police regulations.
Every railroad and every officer or
employee of a railroad who ghall know
ingly violate any of the provisions of
tha act shall be guilty of a misdemean
or and punishable by a fine of not less
than SSOO nor more than $5,000, and
in addition the officers and agents
shall be liable to imprisonment for a
term of from one to two years.
No interference on the part of the
state will be permitted in regard to
liquor passing entirely through the
state. :
VICTORY FOR COTTON SEED OIL.
France Agrees to Special Reciprocity
" Arrangement with Uncle Sam.
Secretary of State Elihu Root has
telegraphed L. A. Ransom, president
of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers’
Association, that the import tax on
French champagne into this country
has been lowered by 20 per cent al
case and in return for this the duty
on cotton seed oil is to remain un
changed.
It is an exchange between this voun
try and that—their famous sparkling
champagne for the south’s great by
product, cctton seed oil. For years
the French parliament has endeavor
ed to raise the duty on cotton seed
ofl, which competes so directly with
olive ofl, and by this agreement any
attempt to raise the tariff is thwarted.
Secretary Root, in a lengthy tele-l
gram, explains that this ig a France—i
American trade agreement whereby the
president, under the terms of the Ding
ley law, agrees to reduce the duty on
champagne imported from that country
by 20 per cent a case, and in return
for this great concession France has
agreed not to increase any of the tar
iffs now in effect,
