W. TYLER, Proprietor. BEmtered at the postoffice at Folkston, Ga, as Second Class Matter. e In one of our New England cities the roll of the newly elected com mon council was called. The judge who was to administer the oath, re lates the Christian Register, whis pered, ‘lt sounds like the docket in a police court.” The eemi-clerical dress is rapidly disappearing, announces the Chris tian Register. The tendency s to create two classes of ministers—the one dressed like other gentlemen for public and social occaslong, the other wearing the full clerical garb. e ———————— Our church colleges, would make none the less mark on the world, thinks the Church Times, but a good deal more, If they had in every case a more ohviously ascetic tone. It {8 the little things that matter-—dress, demeanor, slang, pipes, piano bang ing, foot bhall, talk at meals, flirta~ tions and 5 o'clock ‘eas. e ———— New York meat packers are reports ed as saying that the American house wife has found a substitute for meat and that twenty per cent. less meat is sold now than a year ago. The packers profess their inability to ex plain the phenomenon, Perhaps, suggests the San Francigco Chronicle, the fact that packers charge twenty per cent. higher prices may have something to do with it, Apparently there is nothing to the theory that women will wear anything that fashion dictates, inasmuch as New York importers who made heavy purchases of sheath gowns abroad say they cannot make the style pop umlar in this country, declares the Denver Republican. Lloyds, that en ergetic firm that insures everything insurable, has even gone so far as to refuse to insure one of these ship nayed importer is facing total loss, /At no time in the history of the na tion has the American woman dressed so sensibly, modestly and becomingly ;.n to-day. S——— ¢ TPthnologists have lately advanced the theory that the horse had as much to do with the extermination of the buffalo on the Western plains as had the rifle, and perhaps more so. HEvi dence is said to be abundant, not only that the buffalo was little hunted be fore the Indians obtained horses from the Spaniards, but that the Indians did not even inhabit the great plains with which in modern times they have become so closely associated that they are even known as “plains Indians.” The plains had nich grasses, but not the fish or small game, or the agricultural opportux&ltlee which the Indian required; and with his crude weapons he could not capture the buf falo on foot. The advent of the horse changed all this. The ease with which mounted men could overtake and kill animals which existed in great numbers and furnished both food and shelter was the cause of the migration of whole tribes. This sug gests, too, a reason why the wealth of the plains Indians has always been reckoned in horses. T ———— It is a waste to have higher and ex pensive schooling used by only one child in nine, It is a waste to have 86,124 children begin a course of eight years and have half of them take only four years of it, insists the Philadelphia Press. It is a waste to have children repeating the same year because they fail, so that they go to school six or eight years and only cover three to five years of studies. More high schools would help. It is a cruel wrong to keep the high schools in the centre of the city and debar the poor boy and girl whose family cannot pay car fare. More care and more pains should be taken with the backward child. Closer at tention to individual cases would save many children from failing and leav ing school rather than repeat a year. p&nce. as in this class that began eight years ago, only one in nine reach the high and manual training schools, one in five the seventh grade, one in three the sixth grade, and one in two the fifth grade, the lower grades should look more to those whose edu cation is secured to them.

The candidacy of Mr. Carter failed to make much impression upon the size of the vote, or to create much interest in the state at large. The primary result was viewed every where as settling the question of who would be Georgia’s next governor, and little interest was shown in the bal loting. The apathy was not confined to any one sectiom of the state, but was general, In Atlanta the vote cast was slightly over one-half of that cast in the pri mary of June 4, Governor Smith cast an open ballot. He vosed for Joseph M, Brown. ‘When Mr. Brown appeared at the polls in Marietta he was heartily cheered. He voted the straight dem ocratic ticket, The fellow citizens of Jaseph M. Brown, the democratic nominee, in his home county of Cobb, turned out in large numbers to do him honor. The percentage of the vote cast in Cobb county, in proportion to the vote in the primary, was probably the largest in any county throughout the state. Fulton coanty gave Mr. Brown a ma jority of 4,600 votes. The following rewards have been offered by Governor Smith: For the arrest of Zan Hill, charged with the killing of Ed.Blackshear in Talbot county on May 1, 1908, the sum of SIOO is offered.
