• "Din Job to sumptln' fierce," i» proba
bly the substance of the thoughts of
Clerk Henry M. Wood, of the county
board of commissioner*. The aspirants
to membership on the county police
force have him besieged.
The creation of,the twenty-four new
poaltiona last Hat unlay set, it seems,
the majority of the citizenship of the
county who are out of work, or making
less than <100 per month, to thinking
they would make the very kind of
goods necessary for enforcing the sub
urban law. Although the Job pays but
176 per month, and the men have to
furnish everything from handcuffs to
horse, several men who are making
well above that monthly stipend are
endeavoring to convince the county
that It needs them on Its payroll.
Although one of the strict require
ments of a county policeman la sobrie
ty, dozens of more or leas frequent
tpreers are telling what fine men they
are for the Job, and go ahead and
subscribe their names to the statement
on the application blanks that they are
“strictly sober and In no wise addicted
to the use of Intoxicants"
They have been crowding Mr. Wood's
office all day, laboriously writing out
their applications, while they ponder
over the questions: “Are you married
or single?" and “What waa your last
Job?"
"Home of them haven’t seen their last
Job in ao long that they wouldn't know
It If they met It In the road," sold one
of the county officials. One applicant
couldn't write and some one had to
make out hla blank for him.
The majority of the men, however,
look aa If they would make good offi
cers. Thg varied assortment Includes
city firemen, city policemen, street rail
way employees, farmers, constables,
some unclassified and others who could
almost be classed as "bums."

missioners' committee on roads and

It Is generally conceded by those who
have kept up with the political sltua
tlon since the recent primary, that
Hon. Henry H. Cabanlss, of Fulton,
and Hon. E. L. Martin, of Bibb, will
be the secretaries of the Democratic
convention In Macon, when it assent
bles next Tuesday.
That Mr. Cabanlss is slated for oije
of these places there can be no doubt,
for Hon. Hoke Smith's official organ has
stated that he "will be put forward for
one of the secretaryships of the State
Democratic convention that is to meet
In Macon, September 4.”
The suggestion of these two names
for secretaries of that convention has
brought on more talk, to the effect that
It may mean that these gentlemen may
respectively oppose Hon. Charley
Northen for secretary' of the senate,
and Hon. John T. Botfeulllet for clerk
of the house.
A close friend of Mr. CAbanlss said
Wednesday that Mr. Cabanlss would
offer for secretary of the convention,
but would not run for secretary of the
senate.
In naming these men ns secretaries
of that convention, an unbroken prece
dent for over a quarter of a century
will be set aside. Ever since BUI Har
ris, of Worth, and Mark Hnrdln, of
Bartow, became secretary of the sen
ate and clerk of the house, respective
ly, It has been the custom for these of
ficers to act ns secretaries of the
Democratic convention.
Should these gentlemen contest with
Messrs. Northen and Bolfeulllet, there
would be considerable conjecture aa to
the final outcome. The latter have
the bulge, so to speak, as they have
been campaigning for several months,
and If the former should win out, It
would be due almost entirely to the
moral effect of the overwhelmlng'Smlth
victory.
Messrs. Northen and Botfeulllot, It Is
said, are not losing any sleep over this
anticipated opposition, as both of these
genttemen, so it was staled at the cap-
Itol Wednesday, claim that they have
already pledged to them more than
enough votes to Insure their re-election.
One of the real surprises of the can*
palgn, however, Is the overriding of
the unbroken precedent of the past for
the clerk of the house and secretary
of the senate to serve as so* » «t*ir1es
of the state Democratic convention.

Passengers of East Fair street cars are amazed every day to see In

An1 the funny thing about It Is that the young ladles appear to be

As the car passes this boarding house near the corner of Fair and

others turn their faces the other way, but none seems to realize the

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.—A crowd of
angry depositors, including many wo
men, clashed with the police today In
front of the col lapsed real estate trust
company building at Broad and Chest
nut streets
The line blocked the city’s business
and the detail of police left on guard
over night was unable to cope Kith
them.
At first the women depositors gave
vent to their feelings by tears, but
finally the crowds pressed forward and
made threats against the officers.
With the greatest difficulty the police
kept them from storming the building.
The victims refused to disperse, how
ever, even when threatened with arrest,
and further outbreaks are expected.
"Kill the officers now and Investigate
later,” shouted an excited man In the
crowd. He was promptly arrested.
Reserves Called Out.
The bank building Is closed and
even the employees are barred. Many
aged clergymen are among those who
suffered through the $7,000,000 failure.
Police reserves were called out In
greater numbers and up to this time,
at least, have managed to prevent any
overt act. The temper of the crowd,
however, Is very ugly.
The crowd recognized F. Norden
Hippie, aon ot the dead president, who
works In the Real Estate Trust Com
pany as he was going out to lunch and
made a rush for him. It was with
great difficulty the police rescued him
from the angry crowd.

THE RELIGION OF MAN
VERSUS THAI OF GOD
By LANDON CARTER
* br
(Copyright, 1906, by W. R. Hesrst.)
S* this day of higher rlvllisatjon and
cultivation, when specialists In all
branches of life nre so In vogue, per
haps, one snould hardly be surprised nt the
rivalry existing between the churches of
God, nnd although *'su fod, v all must ark
nowledge thnt truo religion Is not sn ac
ceptance of any particular creed or a bur
den ot commandments, still there - are
many prominent ministers of today who
may In* Justly termed “religious special
Ists.’’
If Indifference Is paralysis of the soul, Is
not united energy proportionately powerful?
And are not rivalry. Jealousy nnd antng-
ouisiu always equally dangerous to co-work
ers for the same goal?
In ordinary life, such conditions create
mutiny, which fact should make all pause
and reflect upon the effects of religious
differences upon the soul.
Love Is not dependent upon Intellect, nnd
the bond of true religion Is not that all
be alike In mind, but nkln In soul.
Intellectual standards of goodness and
charity can only l>e partially satisfactory;
for no bare theory ever reaches the human
heart's core—sympathy Iwtrn of love and
suffering can alone accomplish that.
Higher civilization undoubtedly develops
comfort, but to a certain extent It deadens
the Individuality which prompts nobility,
for the overpolVfched man, when Incapable
of sinking Into certnlu vulgar crimes, also
becomes apathetic nnd almost equally ln-
cnpahlo of rising to greatness, while self-
sacrifice nud all forms of privation and suf
fering bring one more In touch with hu
manity, purity and beget active heroism
nnd nobleness.
The whole Bible Is it treatise on univer
sal love—thnt and that only ns a means
of salvation, “Judge not, thnt ye l»e not
Judged,” yet what more conducive to gen
eral Judgments, narrow, fnshlouable and
persounl Interpretations of love, charity aud
religion ?
Theoretical religious arguments are rarely
convincing to any classes, for the truly or
thodox Christian* realize thnt contentment
Is only found In faith and the acceptance
of God’s greatness, whereas certnlu forms
of Investigation can only produce unrest
nud disquiet; but Just ns certain arguments
are powerless to effect well founded, sim
ple faith, so also nre they equnlly unset
tling and confusing to the weaker, super
stitious nnd Iguorant classes.
The mysterious nearness of Go*l, the con
tact with the Divine and the consciousness
that we stand In special, Individual rela
tionship with Him, them* facts nre beyond
our fathoming, but their simple acceptance
brings Inward pence nnd uobler impulses
toward higher life.
Cotumunion with God Is the great fact ot
life, nnd nil forms of true religion find
„ ongue
fleth himself; but he that prophesteth edl
fleth the church."
“For If the bugle give an uncertain sound,
who shall prepare himself to battle? So
likewise ye—except ye utter by the tongue
words cosy to be understood, bow shall It
be known what Is spoken? For ye shall
speak unto the air.”

Not long since, a Presbyterian—on elderly

Waiting Cow 8aved a Fine.
Councilman Holland occupied the
bench at Wednesday’s session of the
police court. Hls vocabulary' seemed
limited to "fifteen dollars or thirty
days," for that was the sentence nine-
tenths of the culprits received. The
morning* docket contained only cases
of Idling and loitering, drunk and dis
orderly and the usual routine grind of
the police court. Mercy was shown In
one caae, a white man from near De
catur, pleading that hls cow was wait
ing to be milked and hls pig squealing
to be fed. The man had only taken on
too many Decatur street drinks and
was released \vlth a warning to go
and sin no more.
