birthday party FLUSTERS HOUSE Looks as if Bleckley County Will Have To Be Born With out Legislators’ Help. The house fiddled around and wasted a lot of time today trying to find a way to do something it wanted to do, but was more or less afraid of —and it finally settled the matter by not doing it. The house on Thursday accepted an invitation from the city of Cochran, the proposed county seat of the new county of Bleckley, to attend a big barbecue and celebration there tomorrow. The house wanted to go, but when it came to voting itself permission today, under a record roll call, it flickered and hesitated to do it. Mr. Deese, the representative who fathered the new county bill, explained that under the house's action of yes terday a special train already had been chartered and paid for, and that it was pretty shabby treatment, in the cir cumstances. to throw Cochran down at that stage of the game. Several members agreed with Mr. Deese, and a lively debate ensued, dur ing the progress of which the house got itself into a parliamentary tangle from which it seemed it would never emerge. Mr. Deese, in explaining his vote, Baid he would like to wipe the entire proceedings off the board, if he could, as he was much embarrassed in the matter. The speaker then ruled, notwith standing the fact that the roll call was in progress, that the matter might be withdrawn from the house's considera tion by unanimous consent, if the gen tleman would ask it. and Mr. Deese did ask it. and got it, and the roll call stopped, and the junket was off. Speaker Holder had taken t. ■ hull by the horns and yanked the house back to business, regardless! Mr. Deese says the train will run to morrow morning, if only he is there to journey to Cochran to celebrate the birth of the grand young county of Bleckley. CONFETTI THROWING BARRE!)

"A MENAGERIE LION BETWEEN TWO POLES” Peculiar Ideas of Children Discovered by Would-Be Educational Reformers. Do you remember the definition of tile equator in your old school geogra phy? Well, a child was asked for that definition the other day and said: "The equator is a menagerie lion running around the world between two poles." \\ iiat confused the kiddie was the sen tence. "An imaginary line running around the world equally distant be tween the two poles." Such incidents and that of the chil dren who were discovered to he sing ing, "I Love Thy Rotten Chills, Wood land's Distemper Pills,” when America was called for are slightly disturbing to the ordinary educator and show cause forth. need of reform.

''LIP THOSE SIX HEADINGS AND GET BUSY. NOW IS THE TIME; THE GEOR GIAN IS 'CHE PLAt'E. FACT ANO GOSSIP IN MONET MARTS United States Suffering From Dearth of Fifty-Thousand a-Year Men. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—New York and in deed the United States, is suffering from a dearth of $50,000 a year men. • * * The statement was made to me some time ago by a financier who was looking for the right man to take charge of a very powerful trust company. This finan cier has made not less than a million dol lars annually for the last dozen years and probably twice that amount. Fie was be wailing the scarcity of really big. brainy men available for hire. ‘'The man who can earn a salary of $50,000. $75,000 or SIOO,OOO for some one else.” he explained. "Is almost certain to enter business upon his own account. If he is conspicuously brilliant he does not care to spend his life in the service of others who reap the rew’ard of his skill and industry. That is the principal reason $50,000 and SIOO.- 000 men are difficult to engage.” In this instance the vacant post was one of honor and influence. ♦ ♦ ♦ Corporations that may want $50,000 men to be responsible for questionable prac tices will have a much harder task to se cure them in future than they have had in the past. Financial and business im morality and illegality have gone tip in price. • ♦ • An employer wanted to engage an ap plicant for a position. The youth looked likely. His replies to questions concerning himself and his experience were satisfac tory. “You will, of course, do what you are told?” he was asked. “Certainly,” he replied. “I will have to depend upon you a good deal. For example, if I'm busy and do not want to be disturbed you will tell callers that I’m out?” The youth seemed surprised and disap pointed. “If,” continued the employer, “it is necessary, in the course of business, to present things fn a certain light you will do it?” “You mean will L tell lies for you?” “Well. if you put it that way. yes.” “All right. I'll lie for you,” said the young man decisively. “Good. Now, how much salary do you want?” > "Ten thousand dollars a day.” I “Ten thousand dollars a day—are you i mad?” exclaimed the employer. j "No, but I would be if I accepted your proposal. When I say ten thousand dol lars a day I mean that you could not pay me enough money to become a liar. If you want me to do honest work I’ll be glad to start at a dollar a day.” And so the story goes -he was en gaged. • ♦ ♦ I happen to know of a case in real life very different from the incident just re lated. The father of a young family was thrown out of employment. He had been imprudent to the extent that, although earning between S4O and SSO weekly, he had made no systematic attempt to save anything. Starvation stared him and his family at close range. He could not as- I ford to pick and choose as to what he would turn his hand to. In desperation he accepted a sls-a-week job. Very quickly he learned that It was part of his duty to “cook” accounts in order to de fraud certain parties. lie succumbed— temporarily, as he t6ld his conscience. The cheating called for subtle skill, as one blunder might easily have landed more than one person in jail. Time passed and still he remained at his post. The dishonesty galled him —but there was a wife and children to feed, clothe and shel ter. His whole life became poisoned. Yet. when last I heard, he was still wal lowing along in misery, worse off than a slave • « • How many unfortunates are occupying a similar hell? ♦ ♦ ♦ A dispatch from Washington says the government has decided to abandon the criminal prosecution of individuals re sponsible for the actions of illegal trusts. It is a thousand pities that such defeat is or has to be admitted. If the present Sherman law is defective in this particu lar. then let it be repealed. A corpora tion is merely an aggregation of individ ualSz Some one must order the perpetra tion of each act. The one who Instigates acts adjudged illegal is palpably a law breaker. That is the party to punish, not the corporation. A corporation can not be thrown into prison, but individuals can. Fines simply fall upon stockholders in no way guilty of wrongdoing. • • • No honest man could object to a law* providing for the imprisonment of trust managers or directors found guilty of gross turpitude. ♦ • • ’l'he price of financial and business im morality, as I have already said, has gone up. Laws can not instil honesty into men's souls, but they can instil fear into their hearts by opening prison doors. Much has already been accomplished to ward the restitution of business ethics,, and more, will be achieved by-and-by. The country is learning that pelf can be amassed at too ruinous a price. Even this sorry spectacle of graft and worse in the New- York police force will do some good is other directions. * * • Honesty is. In the end, the most profit able policy. SOCIETY WOMEN FACE SCHOLARLY THIEF WHO STOLE RICH TREASURES CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—Jacob Eoy Guth rie, school teacher, scholar and alleged burglar, was bound over to the grand jury today for burglary, larceny and forgery. Guthrie, who has stolen loot, according to the police, which is valued at more than $500,000 and which in cludes art treasures, paintings, rare jewelry and fine apparel, was con fronted by a dozen women who move in tin? most exclusive circles in Chi cago society. The witnesses came to court in auto, mobiles; Guthrie in a patrol wagon. These women testified briefly that much of the loot discovered by the police had been identified as that taken from their homes. The hearing was formal. j Guthrie's bond was fixed at $37,500.

Carpenter. Baggot & Co. say: "Con sidering the strong sentimental influence which rains in portions of the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas have had on the market, we hardly feci justified in expressing an opinion, but some of the features induce us to continue bullish in our ideas and to feel confident that ulti mately higher prices must rule.” Following are 11 a. in. bids: August, 11.67; October. 11.83; December, 11.89; I )ecember-January. 11.83. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9. Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows cloudy over entire belt, except fair in a few spots in south Texas. General rains in north Texas, also west portinn of Oklahoma, Arkansas, central and eastern belt. Rains were moderate in central states. but heavy in Alabama and Atlantic's except North Carolina. Indications are for con tinued cloudy, showery weather in belt; rain indicated also for southern half of Texas and North Carolina. Reliable advices from San Antonio, Texas, reads: "So far as the cotton crop of south Texas is concerned it has de teriorated greatly and cotton that was expected a month ago to yield one-half to three-quarters per bale, is not expect ed now to make one bale to four acres. 1 understand, however, they have had rains in north 'Texas and Oklahoma and that conditions there are better. The high temperatures we have had in this part of the country anti our lands mostly being of light sandy soil went to pieces within a short time.” 'l'he New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Bearish success is broadening bearish sentiment, which in turn is robbing the rahks of the bulls of many workers. What the end will be no man kriows. Lt is a fact too potent for argument that rains all over the belt, with the exception of portions of south and southwest Texas, have improved, the crop promising to a tangible extent, and the. low price people are now claiming, whereas, they feared drouth and high temperatures on a watered plant, high price people must fear rains and moderate temperatures. However, historj alone can reveal the influence on the outturn of the original handicap of a late start in poorly pre pared soil. Meanwhile there is a surplus of con tract sellers and a dearth of buyers, and tup brakes were applied to yesterday’s decline, not so much because there were men in the market with faith in the price, but. bcause the parity between America and Liverpool had so greatly widened as to make purchases on this side seem at tractive. without much regard to the probable future course of the market. COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. Thompson; Towle & Co.: 'l'he market may go lower in the near future before speculators will take hold. Daily Montgomery: Further wide market changes will be in order until more definite information as to the exact condition of the crop is available. Logan Ac Bryan. Think the selling is overconfident and market should have a good rally. Hayden. Stone A- Co.: We may get re actions, but market looks lower before basis for a permanent improvement can be reached.

A report of less demand for the American hard wheat was the weakening influence. Corn was unsettled and irregular with September a shade higher and the de ferred months fractionally lower. flats were jietter all around on short? covering. Provisions were unchanged and the market was featureless with trade small. Wheat closed with losses of % to %c to day and there were recessions in the price of corn of % to %c. Oats declined % to "«c and there was considerable reaction from the bottom prices. 'l'he government crop report, which was given out after the close of business, was construed by the trade as a bearish document. Provisions closed lower with trade dull. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Prev.
