Au«u-t4 and her people, bar best l,u.itiH*., man, nml hundreds of stock tioldmi and policy holder* have the ttrongest faith in the officers and In the policy and purpose* of tho Um pire Ule Insurance Company. We are assured that the company Ig Hhi-oiulely Bolvent, with a Rross mm plus of over 1500.000 00; besides the Insurance Department of Ueor i la under Comptroller General Wrlgbt hi* nnidc a searching Investigation uni report on the Umpire Life nod (. Ittie* tlint it is sound and in lietler : hap t an ever before. The Insurance Department of Geor gia gives the Umpire I.lfo net admit ted asset* of nearly a million and three-quarters with net reserves of a million, three lytndre.l thousand dollars, with a net surplus to policy holders of over there hundred thou sand dollars. A policy in the Kmptre I.lf* is a* sate a* a policy in any corn pany In tile country. The Insurance pipers of the conn try are paying welldeserved tribute* to the energy and to the careful man agement of tile at airs of this Georgia company at this time. In view of these facts, The Herald cannot but deplore the action of a disgruntled stockholder In Atlanta to try ami embarrass this company, which effort we are aura will Tali in its purpose, for some lima the Km- | litre ha* been the object of attack*, through various investigations and 4 üblliatlons, all of which It has! waalheivd successfully and we (eel I sure that this will he the case In Una ; latest and most recent uttnrk. Certainly no company ever had n 1 inure devoted, loyal and staunch lot 1 of stockholders and policy holders . than the Kmptre I.lfo, and their action 1 cannot fail to inspire confidence In 1 all w.-ctiims of the country. This is ; certainly true litre in Augusta, where , the home office, the magnificent of- , fie# building and the headquarters of | tlie Empire Life are soon to be lo ! cated We predict these attacks on the Kmplre Lite will prove boomerangs and but stT\e to further strengthen | and energise this already strong and | success ul Southern Idle Insurance Company AUGUSTA AND CONGRESSMAN HARDWICK.

It in not a surprise that the eugen ics bill was turned down. Neither do we regret it because haste to legiH iate on thin matter has not resulted with any groat, satisfaction. it is bettor not to pass laws on eu genics without first bringing the peo ple to a realization of the evils which legislation on these lines seek to rem edy . Hut we are glad to see thut the legislators of this state are sufficient ly in touch with modern ideals to bring these questions forward for dis cussion. The eugenic ideal is a new vista It Is a helpful and Intelligent ideal and It should be encouraged, but we are not at all sure that passing laws will help the growth of this ideal. Perhaps, In the distant times, of which we may dream, some practical way of regulating matters which af fect ih< health happiness and well I eing of future generations may be found, but certain It is that legisla tion should not far outstrip the con science and comprehension of the peo ple. because, If it does, n stubborn re sistance to laws which seem meddle some and Interfering with persons! rights will he created and a fresh spur toward lawlessness will be given. No amount of legislation is going t«* make men speak the truth' or act with honesty toward one another, though legislation iria»y protect one nan from another’s dishonesty, and thereby inculcate a greater respect for honesty. intelligent laws, for the protection of future generations are bound, in time, to find their way on the statutes, but these laws will not he passed un til the conscience of the public, which is public opinion, calls for them. That time has riot come yet, nor will it come until these problems c ome up for frequent and earnest discussion and thought. LETTERS ffffl THE PEOPLE Augusta <t Lincolnton Railroad. To the Editor of the Herald. Kir: We are all working to build up Qur city. Hen is one view point from Which we see it. There Is nothing more vita) to the welfare and up building of a city than its agricultural hacking. We have just west of our c ity two counties, namely, Columbia and Lincoln, lying in the Piedmont region and there is no better soil according to the government survey In tho United Ftales. I suppose you have heard what General Toombs said about Col uhi bill county, he said! “Uod Almighty did his everlasting best when lie made Columbia county,” Now these two counties are practically without rail road facilities, consequently not doing one fifth of what they could in the agricultural world. Now what we want to do is to build a branch railroad either from the Georgia railroad be ginning at Wheeless from which point the graded road bad starts, or tap the electric line at Monte Ssno. I would be In favor of operating a steam road with auto car from Mont** Kano at least 15 miles out every hour so as to develop small farms, and being in the real estate business —and especially farms, wa know we are short on this kind of property. We find the ten dency ia for small farms with rapid transit to the city, .now this is one thing we think Augusta needs —con trolling the road bed for 15 miles—if the people of Augusta will subscribe to 100,000 of the first mortgage bonds out of an issue of 12,000 to the mile, payable when the road te In operation 15 miles, I wllLbuild this road to Lin colnton. .T K HOOAN. SsLEEPYTM STALER THE SMART MOUSE. Once upon n time there were two little mice. The big innu.sa lived In the fields and hud to m*ke s strong nest to keep out the cold end rain hut the girl mouse lived In a big fine house not fur from the field In which the other mouse lived. Her mother hail told her never to have anything tn dp with tho field mice ns they were not as good us she The little house mouse didn't see why hut a* her mother hnd told her to keep away from them she did as she wns told One day ns she was walking she met tlie boy mouse and he smiled and nodded a pleasant good morning. Of course alio could not lie Impolite and so she smiled nnd said; “(iood Morn ing.” too. After that whenever she went out to walk she would meet the mouse and he always stopped to talk. She thought that he was very nice and told her mother that she had met him and didn't see why lie wasn't as good as she was. , Her mother told her she must never speak to him again and she promised, she said; "But ts I meet httn tomorrow I must tell him that you have Hsked me not to have anything to do with him.” Her mother said she could do that, a* long as she hud promised jjhe wouldn't after that, The next morn ing when she took her walk ahe went the other way for she was sorry to hurt Ids feelings and she knew it would when she told him. She was walking slowly along think ing how she could tell him when right beside her she hear; “flood Morning, little house mouse,” She knew she must tell him nil about what her mother had said and did as gently as she could He was very sorry and told her he whs going to ask her that very day If she would not come and see the nest he had built and If she liked It wouldn't she stay and live with him, iff course now she would not want to and he was verv aorrv. After that he never spoke to her hut he walked near her out of sight so that no harm would cotqe to the little mouse, for you see he loved her very dearly. One day he came out of the fields j Just behind her and saw the little red squirrel reach out hta paw. I'erhap* | he didn't mean any harm but the big •mouse ran to the other mouse and I grab tied her and ran off to her home, I "'hen her mother heard that the field | mouse had been so brave and saved her life she thanked him and said: | "Now Isn't there something 1 van give you to show you that 1 am very grate ful to you "” ''Yea,” said the field mouse. “Give me your little house mouse so that I she can come and live tn the nice nest I Um e made for her ” Her mother laughed and aald: ”1 guess 1 was wrong. You are some good and as you have saved her life she may go if she wants to." of course you know she did and they lived in tile nice w arm nest vet j hap- Idly. i .HE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. ’ TOMMIE MOUSE AND THE t BROWNIE—Part I. f Tommie mouse was lonesome one day and so he dock himself off to the woods.. .

"What is It you want?” asked the Brownie. "Well you see I am tired of being a mouse and 1 should like very much to he a cat. So if you please, Mr. Brownie: will you change me into a i at.

Hoke Smith is the guy who put the "hun” in the hundred dollar raise for Hie rural carriers; there's where he is the man after our own heart. Causes No Excitement. (The West Point News.)

He Is worse up against it than ever before" senna to be the generally expressed conviction. And why? From the standpoint of an Impartial observer, Mr. Brown ap pears to he handicapped by several (actors. Th# Reasons. First, his late entrance into the race after fhctlonnl alignment had been made; second, the fact that hla form er campaign manager, ,1. R. Smith, has had a falling out with the "veiled prophet of Cobb;" third, becauae Gov ernor Slaton, one of the foremost of the party to which Mr. Brown be longs, Is running hla own race and can hardly he expected to devote much lime or energy to Mr. Brown's cam pilgn. fourth—and this la the greats est of all—Hoke Smith aa senator ; i strengthened himself enormously u.v his work in Washington. There la Indicated a*''widespread opinion that Senator Smith should re main where he Is for another term, his first full term. It is known that It requires a man of unusual calibre to rise above mediocrity In the senat" without long service, Hoke Smith has proved that he can lead there as well a selsewhere. Mr. Brown has yet to convince the people that he would be a dominant figure, especial ly under an administration with which he la not In sympathy. Two editorials in Georgia papers are indicative of the general attitude of the press. General Attitude. The Columbus Hedger, formerly a warm admirer of Brown, says: "The l.rdger cannot stand by Mr. Brown In Ms race for the eenste. (•Yansly. we are surprised at his en | terlng the race agslnsl a man whb ha* '1 will have to see the fairies about that,” said the Brownie. “I advise you, though not to lie changed into a cat; you better keep your own shape.” But Tommie Mou*e pleaded so hard and aa« so determined upon being a eat that the Brownie promised to see a fairy friend of his and ask her to change Tommie Mouse into a cat, and a white one, too. Of course, Tommie Mouse thought he would have to go the woods again to meet his friend, the Brownie, De fore the fairy could change him into a eat so he ran home and crawled into his hole, which led into the cellar of a house, and It is a good thing his home was in a cellar, because (he next morn ing when Tommie Mouse awoke he wasn't a mouse at all, but a big white cat. Tommie was a little frightened when he thought of what might have happeneed If his home had been in a hole, instead of in the corner of the cellar. Tommie lookeed all about theM-ellar, but not a mouse could he find, then he went to the hole he usually crawled through to get out, forgetting he was far larger than he had been, and found he must look another way to leave his home now. Tommie ran-up the stairs and mew ed, which frightened him so he ran down the stairs, falling in his haste, and the cook opened the door at the top of the stairs to see what had hap pened “How did that strange cat get in here?” she said, getting the broom and chasing poor Tommie all around the cellar and tip the stairs, where lie ran out into the yard. The dog, seeing a strange cat. began to hark atid chase Tommie, who ran up a tree to escape, and there he stay ed. with the dog barking at him un der tlie tree until Tommie thought he would have to let go of the limb. Hi and by the dog went away and Tommie began to wonder where he could find some breakfast, hut cheese did not seem to be the thing he want ed. Tommie wanted milk and he won dered where lie should get it. “I have always eaten cheese and things I hate fougd in the pantry and that is where I will go now. I am sure I will be hungry for them when when I see them. I never cared for milk and I do not see why I should want it so much now,” thought Tom mie. forgetting he was no longer a mouse and that he would have to eat things a cat liked having taken on the shape of one.

Tomorrow's story—“ Tommie Mouse and the Brownie”—(Part II.) until congress adjourns, notwithstand ing he has opposition for re-election in tho primary to be held August 19th. We believe the people of Georgia will reward him for his faithful and effi cient service by rolling up one of the largest majorities for him that he lias ever received In the past. “Hs May Well Feel Praud.” (Campbell News.) Senator Hoke Smith gives a brief sketch of his accomplishments in the senate in this Issue of the News, and he may well feel proud of his record. Value Too Great. (f'uhlin Courier nnd Dispatch.) Hoke Smith's value to the state has been too great to retire him merely to satisfy a personal grudge. Wants No Bitterness. (Dodge County Herald.)
