At a Lynn, Mass., wedding, avers
the Rochester Post-Express, bright
new coins were thrown after the de
parting bride and groom. This is a
decided improvement on the rice and
©ld shoe method of wishing good luck
to the departing pair.
Poasts the Washington Star: Man

against congsumption will banigsh from

paled where people observe conimon
sanitary laws.
“Some people take a pleasure in
waste,” sayvs a writer in the London
Spectator. He cites that many pat
pers in various workhouses insist on
having the last crumb allowed them
by law, even If they cannot eat it and
intend to throw it away; that tramps
beg food from working people nearly
as poor as themselves, only to fling
it in the nearest ditch; that people in
more fortunate circumstances gome
times like to burn money almost lit
erally, and that “enough money to
throw away” is the ambition of a
multitude.
The enforcement of law is the sole
protection of society. One sinner de
stroyeth much good, urges the Chris
tian Advocate. The righteous carry
a policeman in their own consciences;
the wicked and the morally infirm
are ever with us. Until a man is
proved guilty he should be free, even :
At he be not a good mau; but after
‘he has been proven guilty, let him
suffer what is necessary for the welle
being of society, In the meantime
help him to reform if he shows a dis-
Position to do so, but nfi by giving
~confidence till it is earned. R

havoe with the ripening of corn, al
though the root crops or grass are
not so much affected. “But it does
make a fellow tired to get up on an
August morning and find the garden,
«<orn, potato tdps, ete, all nipped—
and that's what happened to me this
year, although neighbors fifty feet
higher up were unhurt,” writes a
valued contributor.
Germany's schools are a product of
the last thirty years. Following the
Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia,
the Iron Chancellor set to work to
ascertain how France, lEngland and
other countries had been able to beayr
away the prizes for industrial, art
exhibits. As the result of an investi
gation made by Roleaux, a system of
wonderful industrial schools was es
tablished. These schoels now dot
the empire, says the Atlanta Consti
tution. To these schools the empire
attributes much of her marvelous
success. Richer in raw material,
with an aggressive and capable peo=
ple, America needs bhut to encourage
ber technical schools to excel the
world in manufactures,
London and Paris forbid the use
of the strects to smoking and odor
iferous motor-cars. This is one ree
spect in which the two great Europ

American c¢ity, Americang continue
~ to permit their eyes and nostrils to

Change Needed In The Finan
cial Conduct of the State
From Five To Two Mills Is Suggested
By Govenor Smith.---Much Property
o Not Returned.
Atlanta, Ga.—That Georgia's fiscal
system is in need of some kind of re
form is the opinion of every state
house cificial connected with the finan
cial conduct of the state, This was
very clearly brought out in the dis
cussion as to whether or not there
would be an unsual deficit to be as
sumed by the Joe Brown administra
tion next July,
At presorit the state's fiscal year is
from January 1 to January 1, The
taxes for the year to pay appropria
tions made by the legislature, whici
meets in June, come in mainly during
December and January following, The
delinguents continue to come in dur
ing April, May, June and even as lale
as July,
Thusg, for example, although the
state prohibition law went into effect
January 1, 1908, the proceeds from the
old rvax on liguor received during the
present year has amounted to $14,600,
according to the figures in the office of
the comptroller general,
Yet to every suggestion of a change
in the present fiscal system there is
strenuous opposition. If it is pro
posed to change the fiscal year so that
it will stand from July 1 to July 1,
there is objection. If the proposed
change affects the time at which tax
es are to be returned, there is still
more vigérous complaint, >
Still some system of tax reform is
universally agreed to be necessary.
Governor Smith favors the appoint
ment of a tax equalization board,which
will bring into sight for taxation,
property not now returned, and which
there is no way of reaching. ’
It i his idea that the work of this
board would result in reducing the
taxes on the great body of the people
by forcing certain classes of people
to bear their full share of the burden
of carrying on the state administra
tion,
In discussing the evil of tax dodg
ing, Governor Smith said that if some
system could be devised to force the
big corporations to pay taxes upon a
fair valuation of their property, the
state's tax rate could be reduced from
5 mills, which lis the constitutional
limit, to 2 milles,

BROKEN THE -SOLID SOUTH”
President Roosevelt Says He Could
Have Carried Georgia,
Atlanta, Ga.—President Roosevelt’s
only disappointment over the result
of the presidential election was the
failure of Mr, Taft to break the “solid
south,” and, according to Commission
er of Agriculture Hudson, Mr. Roose
velt thinks his desire would have been
fulfilled had he himself been the nom
inee of the grand old party. The pres
ident believes that he would have cap
tured Georgia, -
“If 1 had been a candidate for pres
ident this time I would have carried
Georgia and broken the ‘solid south,’ "
Commissioner Hudson quotes Presi
dent Roosevelt as having said to him.
Colonel Hudson has just returned
to Atlanta from Washington, where he
went to confer with President Roose
velt about the country life commis
sfon, It was upon the occasion of his
visit to the white house that Mr.
Roosevelt voiced ‘the belief thet he
would have carried Georgia.
“Yes,” said Colonel Hudgson, “Pres
ident Roosevelt's chief regret at de
clining to accept a third term seems
to be that he was denied the chance
to carry the state of his mother’s na
tivity, .
“Mr. Roosevelt said he would have
invaded Georgia himself, made a few
speeches and captured the state
surely.”
Colonel Hudson's reply was non
committal—he told the president that
he had many friends and admirers in

New York City.—More than twenty
persons lost their lives as the resuit
‘{of the explosion of a gas main at Gold
and Front streets, Brooklyn.
i Practically the whole street from the
stoop line between Gold and Front
streets was tumbled into a fifty foot
‘excavation in which fifteen or more
men were working, and several per
#ons who were walking along the
street were carried down,
It is believed that every person who
went into the excavation was killed
instantly or smothered or drowned.
Fifteen tenement houses on the block
were in such danger of falling into
the trench that the occupants, were
ordered eut by the police.
The most intense excitement pre
vailed for blocks around the scene of
the accident, and the street were fill
ed with wailing women and children,
who were unable to get any word from
relatives known to be in the vicinity
when the explosion came,
The explosion tore the street {o
pieces for rods on either side and the
twelve men who were working in the
excavation for a hig sewer pipe were
buried by the debris which fell in
upen them and smothered or burned
to death in the fire that followed the
explosion.
Samuel Trout, who lived near the
scene, lost his life in attempting to
save a woman who was passing
through Gold stret at the time of the
explosion and fell into a trench.
. Trout was caught by the flames
from the blazing gas main and roasted
alive, The woman was dragged out
of the trench and saved by a boy.
The workmen were digging a trench
through Gold street for the installation
of a thirty-six inch sewer pipe. The ex
cavation was to be nearly forty feet
deep and as the laborers removed the
earth the walls had been shored up
by large timbers,
With Charles Schiffmeyer, a city in
spector of sewers, overseeing the
work at the bottom of the trench,
when an accumulation of gas from a
main which had been accidentally
broken during the course of the work,
exploded with tremendous force,
A large water main also was broken
by the force of the explosion, and a
perfect torrent of water began to spurt
up through the mass of wreckage. Al
most side by side with these geysers
roared the flames from the gas es
caping from the broken main,
The explosion was followed by

RE-UNION SCOTTISH RITE MASONS
To Be Held in Atlanta’s New Temple
3 Next Spring, . "
"="Atlanta, Ga.—The dedication of At
lanta’s new Masonic Temple,” now
about completed, will mark a general
revival among that branch of the Ma
sonic fraternity known as the Scot
tish Rite.
+. Plans are under wdy for a spring
reunion of she Scottish Rite to be
held in Atlatna next April, which will
bring to the city many of the distin
guished and prominent citizens of the
country, including Hon. James D, Rich
ardson of Tennessee, the grand com
mander of the southern jurisdiction,
and the fuil official divan of the su
preme council, the chief governing
body of the rite, whose headquarters
are at Washington, D. C.
During the reunion the degrees of
the rite, fourth to thirty-second, inclu
sive, will be conferred with full cer
emonials for the first time in Atlanta,
on a dedicatory class of more than
two hundred, representing every sec
tion of Georgia, and the handsome
and perfectly. appointed apartments
of the rite on the upper floor of the
Temple will be dedicated and formal
ly opened. The apartments include
the largest stage of modern construc
tion yet erected in the southeast. Con
tracts for the scenery, more than one
hundred pieces, necessary to properly
exemplify the work, together with a
mammoth lighting plant, to cost ap
proximately 12,000, have been closed,
and will be installed as quickly as the
artists can eomplete the work there
on,
It is safe to assume that nothing
S 0 ambitious as this reunion has ever
been undertaken by Scottish Rite Ma
sons of the southern jurisdiction, and
the indications are ‘Lhat Masonic stu
dents from all America will gather at
Atlanta to witness the ceremonies
and erjoy the work,
