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 ment In tb« most friendly sprit and recognize*. as all Intelligent and 1 ted 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 ami calm which has. as a usual thing, characterised the feminist movement In the United b'tatea, It la surprising that the suffragists should focus thetr attention or amending the con (dilution To do so It la necessary to gain the assent of three fourths of tlie states Thirteen negatives would de feat the plan nnd at tills time there are certainly that number of statea that would repudiats the proposition The New York World estimates it that "there are at least ten statea in which the fatal color tjueatlon la still paramount. There are not less than ten other statea. principally in the Middle Weet aud Beal, in which the natural conservatism of the people makes the Issue at present hopeJ,e»s." and advises Its suffragist women that lime nnd energy expended upon agi talion In favor of a constitutional amendment are therefore worse than a anted But, even granting that the suffra gists stand a chance to win h.v try ing lor a coatllutional amendment, the aubaetiuent sex antagonism and pre- Judtca which would result from suc cess would he highly unfortunate and absolutely destructive of the good that might come oT the women's vote. So far as what the World call* “the fatal color question." la concern ed. we can see no real hindrance to the march of woman suffrage. Tbs Southern states would be In no worse case with the enfranchised negro women than they are now with the enfraebised negro men The whits primary controls this question very effeetually ard so long as we adhere to and guard this bulwark of defeusv. the South will continue to he under the direction and control of thq yhlte race. - INDOOR SPORTS * * dt By Tad Hi . |7 AnO SAV -tAmc ABOUT OAuC ifJCr\ / • jj IMjM'L ||| I -am / '>Bll ■ I'/ VUS OAMCO TU6 MAKIKfi - f ) l ' !_[ fV O UM 10 | -rna - )KX I + ~ 'fA seerne And TW,r urn£ ftfNCH / / f fcmeo] \ cwcOOrSApte*. ■'sSmsin. ksv&i a —> i ->at >■ j C v .j fa 'vAA EMMA ft W'.tl/V / , / .J,* —. .

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.

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.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. // «V- '. •fa/ I- [IS ►v [ilc i >\7[ < I / 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.
