SPOILING FOR A FIGHT.
Now that Little Joe Brown has
announced that he will enter the sen
mortal race, he lihs ceased to be in
teresting. ilis long and eloquent si
lence on this point, coupled with indl
• atlons that he was eager to take
part In the political doings of the day
kept the public guessing. Now the
public has nothing to guess
Joe Brown is again going to opitose
iloke Smith. The old political an
tagonism between the two Is to be re
inforced by a new Issue. Joe Brown
has declared war on the demands oT
organized labor, lie enters the areim
with a dare to the labor unions an I
an Invitation to the corporate Inter
ests to join him in battle. It Is pre
sumed that Ills open antagonism to
the labor unions will win lor him the
support and approval of the capital
ist* and that class of citizens who
support and admire all that Is done
In the name of capital and Invest-
ment. But, we think the prosump
tion is tiarclessly taken. At least,
we feel justified In cherishing the
hope that capital in Georgia in too
wise and deliberate to seek to fan the
flames of clues hatreds and class an
tagonisms and we don't for a moment
bellere that Joe Brown's candidacy
for the senate is going to amount to
anything worth disturbing ourselves
about.
This Is a fool hardy venture of the
little statesman, a venture In which
lie Is likely to get hurt himself and
equally likely to start a witches' revel
of mischief throughout the state.
THE PRESIDENT AND AMEND
MENT. f
The Immense delegation of suTfra
gists who waited upon the president
gained no encouragement from him
regarding their e: forts to force equal
suffrage throughout the country by
attempts to auiehd the constitution,
but they at least developed the fact
that the pr«tddcnt regards the move

tul men must recoirnlxe, that equal
suffrage la a condition that will soon
prevail througftout a majority of the
states.
When we consider the Rood sense

characterised the feminist movement
In the United b'tatea, It la surprising

The New York World estimates it
that "there are at least ten statea in
which the fatal color tjueatlon la still

ten other statea. principally in the
Middle Weet aud Beal, in which the

and advises Its suffragist women that

But, even granting that the suffra

LETTEfIS FROM THE PEOPLE
OVERWORKED HORSES.
To the Editor of The Herald.
Sir—
There are so many inhumane things
brought to my attention of late that
I see the great need of well-organized
humane work in our midht.
()m ladles, to whom we would nut
urally look for greatest sympathy and
kindness are too often cltncr indif
ferent. or ignorantly cruel.
Outside of the much abused back
horses there are none that command
our pity more than the grocery mail s
horse There is not a Saturday night
that my heart does not ache for the
many over loaded, over worked, tired,
worn out grocery horses, going till
past midnight.
It Is not every time the fault of the
grocer, bin is attributable to those
niaking orders.
Many of o\ir grocers are making
two iritis to The Hill anil other dis
tant places and much labor could be
saved to our good merchants and
faithful animals If the ladies making
household orders would send in their
lists so us to make only one trip.
One good groceryinan -Id me ha
lost his faithful horse by getting In
a shower of rain, coming from The
Mill. You see the dear creature be
ing over-driven, took cold and then
pneumonia and soon died.
One of the drivers complained to
me of the scarcity of watering places
on The Hill.
I would like to aek the good ladies
to he an investlgsting committee to
report If there is need of more foun
tains
We are in the M. A> M Contest for
the Humane Farm and wish the ladies
of The Hill, North Augusta and else
where would remember us with cou
pons and sale slips.

"BOY’S DAY.”
Once upon n lime Jack and Joey
decided that they would have a
"Boy’s Day" in their neighborhood.
Just the day before had been
"Mother's Day" and there was a
dot of talk among their father and
uncle and other men about having
a "Father's Day.”
So Jack and Joey decided that
tile next Saturday they would cal!
"Hoy’s Day," and they would get
all the neighborhood hoys and
their fathers, mothers, and sisters
to help.
They asked Mr. Smith who lived
next door to let them use a vacant
lot he owned and on that they put
up four or five tents that they
and their hoy friends had. They
arranged the tents in a row and
at the head of the row they dog a
bole and put up a pole on which
they had a flag. At the other end
vas another pole with a white
bn oner on It which they bad
painted on it the word#: “Boy’s
Day.”
In each tent they had some dif
ferent umusement. One was the
refreshment tent where they sold
cake and cookies and lemonade,
one was fixed up where one could
play different kinds of games like
dominoes, Jack-straws, etc., and
another was the hospital tent
w here visitors who were overcome
h\ theshmt or met with any ac
cident could tie attended.
lots of children, boys and girls,
oame and fathers and mothers, too.
In the muslrnl tent some of the
boys had trumpets and drums and
fifes and ri-ally gave quite a
pleasing concert. Then they had
a baseball game between two
teams of the hoys, a tug-of-war
match, running races and Jumfdng
matches. Prises were given and
everybody had a very nice time.
Jack and Joey were very happy
it, was such a success and formed
among the other twys a “Boy's
Day Association," to have a cele
bration every year and all the
fathers and mothers p-omlsed to
help make the next one even more
successful than this. Win don’t

THE FOX AND MR. BEAR.
Mr. Fox was hungry, but he had not
laid .tip his stores for the w inter, as
his neighbor, Mr Bear, had done. So
when the cold weather came he had
to run over the hills to the farms and
run the risk of being caught in the
traps which the farmers kept ready
for him.
"Mr. Bear sleeps all winter; I don’t
see that he needs the food he has stor
ed away,” said Mr. Fox one evening,
when it was unusually cold and
stormy.
The more he thought the more he
became convinced that Mr. Bear did
not need the food, and that It really
did belong to Kim. So be changed his
course and went toward the home of
Mr. Bear.
He walked very carefully around
around the house am| : listened, but not
a sound did he hear. '
"He Is asleep fast enough,” he said.
"Now 1 wonder where he keeps his
food" a
Very carefully he opened the win
dow and slipped inside; everything
still as could be, and presently he
scented meat.
Now Mr. Bear knew that he slept
very soundly, and he also knew that
hts neighbors knew this to be a fact,
and they were apt to take advantage
of this and make a raid on his stores.
He was prepared for their visits, al
though they had not thought of such
a thing, for they were apt to think
Mr. Bear rather stupid
Hut Mr. Bear had set a trap, and
this trap was In the corner of his
pantry’ He had a trap door which he
lii'lr
covered with straw, and under which
he keut hia at ores, so that when Mr.
Pox scented the meat, he went
straight to the straw, and without
thinking of danger or any kind save
the awakening of Mr. Bear, he stepped
on the straw, and down he went into
the cellar of Mr Hear s house.
He howled us he fell and also pulled
a string which was tied to some tin
ware which Mr. Bear had arranged
for that purpose.
Mr. Pox howled and the tinware
went clattering after him, making
enough noise to wake the dead, fright
ening Mr. Pox almost to death.
“Help! help murder" he called when
he landed at the bottom.
"Why don't you say thief, too?" said
Mr Bear, who had awakened and was
looking down through the trapdoor.
"That would be nearer to the truth.
Mr Pox. 1
"Oh, is that you. Mr. Bear*" asked
Mr Pox, looking up.
"Who do you expect to see here If
not me?" asked Mr Hear "Disgrace
ful. 1 rail it, that I cannot take my
winter nap without my neighbors try
ing to rob me."
"Yea. Isn't tt," said Mr. k\>x, stand
ing up and rubbing his head. ‘‘l
thought l would just took in and see
if everything was safe, for I saw that
Poaaum fellow prowling alxmt. and 1
was afraid he might be after your
•tores. But I had no Idea, Mr Bear,
you had auch dreadful pitfalls ar
ranged; you really should warn your
friends about them.'*
“No, I don't suppose you did think I
w as prepared for > ou or you would not
have come." said Mr. Bear; “now act
out of here, fcnd warn all the others of
the thieving set that T am prepared
for them '
"t'ouldn't 1 go out through the cel
lar and not risk the ladder? asked
* 3f Hm. EAWALEER
Fox, who did not relish the idea of
facing Mr. Bear.
"You can come up the way you went
down,” said Mr. Bear; "there is no
other door."
Mr. Fox came up slowly, and he
dodged a-blow which Mr. Bear aimed
at him.
"That is the way you are always
paid when you try to do a friend a
kindness," said Mr. Fox, when he was
safe outside the window. “It will serve
you right, Mr. Bear, if someone does
get in and steal your supplies.”
"t guess I have caught the only thief
who will try this winter." replied Mr.
Bear, as he closed the window.
"Now I will try and finish my nap,"
he said as he trudged back to his bed
room .
"I guess after a while those fellows
will find i am smart enough for them,
and I shall be able next winter to have
an uninterrupted nap," he said, as he
gave the pillow a poke to make a soft
place for his head.
