OF T POLICE JOBS • "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." E. V. farter, chairman of the com missioners' committee on roads and bridges, said Wednesday afternoon that he would call a meeting as soon as all of the members of the committee were In the city at the same time, to con sider the location of the three stations where the force will be located after the new men are selected next Wed nesday.

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. JAMES FINLEY DIES Ei I Jnmes Finley, at one time a promt nent fraternity man and capitalist of this city, died In Baltlmqre, Mil.. Mon day afternoon, after a short Illness.

By Private Leased Wire. 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. Y WILL BE NECESSARY TO NAMLCANDIDATE Ansel and Manning Lead But Neither Have Clear Majority. dpoolnl to TUp Grorglst,. Columbia, 8. C., Aug. 29.—Latest re. turns Indicate an Increase In the lead of M. F. Ansel for governor and Lyon's majority for attorney general Is almost clinched. / Edgefield, Tillman's home county, gives the antl-dlapensary ticket ati overwhelming majority. Ansell and Lyon, the two candidates fought by Tillman, secured considerably more than a majority. Lyon's victory la a great triumph. In Newberry county he ran 4 to L Thl* is the home of Hub Evans, former chairman of the state board of control, where there was nearly a riot when Lyon spoke. Ansel’s lead Is such that he will have nearly a majority on the first ballot, and cannot be stopped In a sec ond primary. McCowan Is elected secretary of state, and Boyd adjutant general, over all opposition. J. T. Johnston, of Spartanburg; Wyatt Aiken, of Abbe ville; J. O. Patterson, of Barnwell, and D. E. Finley, of York, are returned to congress over all opposition, and th* other congressmen had no opposition. The legislature Is In doubt. The dls- pensary gained In some places and antl-dlspensary In others. Local op. tlon appears to be the Idea. Tillman was scratched In some counties.

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.” dial on llet simplicity, niid not hi the difficult theorb of iinuicrouH conflicting creeds; and the sincere agnostic*does, perhaps, less barm than do the complex, so-called Christian doctrines, which are lieyond the simple In telligence of the humble nnd more lowly. Not long since, a Presbyterian—on elderly Indy from Heotland—was visiting her more fashionable daughter in New York, nnd on Sunday.
