JOHNSON IS THE NEW RECORDER IN ATLANTA Atlanta. —Well, the denizens of Darktown have a new czar now, and they're, going around shaking their beads dolefully and making dire pro phecies of wliat’s going to happen George E. Johnson, for many years a police commissioner and local politi clan, was winner in the run-off pri mary for the famous seat warmed so many years by thenoted "Jedge B riles,” who goes to the court of appeals. "Jedge Briles was some bad, but you kinder knowed what he was inos' apt to do,’’ said one frequenter of the city stockade in Decatur stree(*today. "But dish here Johnson man, you can’t count on him. I'se bout made up my mind to move to Blrminham.” the new recorder, is not a lawyer, but he knows human nature and says that’s a lot more im portant than law in dealing with police court cases. In Ills campaign adver tisements lie promised to temper Jus tice with mercy upon occasions, but quoted Robert Burns to the effect that "the law’s the hangman’s noose to keep the fretch affrighted” and indi cated that he believed in rigorous methods. It looks like a dark and dismal year for Darktown. Speaking ... THE ... Public Mind To The Herald: The letter which appeared in your columns yesterday attempting to give an idea of the meaning of a billion, lends me to remember some astound ing figures which may Interest your readers The following once appeared as an advertisement for a certutn brand of coffee: If you place one grain of coffee on the first square of a chess board, two grains on tho second square, four on the third, eight on the fourth, and so on, putting twice as many on each “I want to know- I want to know!” That s what a dear old lady exclaims when told anything that is new —strange to her. ror awhile we laughed now we believe that very nearly all humans have the same feeling: they want to know, they want tacts, figures, and proof that proves. Not generalities not estimates —but actual, unbiased, irrefutable facts. And, they want these facts quickly—condensed—in a second. They don t want to go to a library to search —don’t want to wade through a lot of dry, technical encyclopedias— they want the meat” of the question at the finger tips instantly. On the market are hundreds of almanacs —but the big majority are merely local directories. They tell y°u where the City Hospital is—where to find the Orphan Asylum—what car to take to get to A street. Electrical Measures; Number of Evangelists; Expenditure of U. S.; Farm statistics; Farmers table; Ice yachting records; Number of Jacobites; Number of people in any given religious sect? But do they tell you, for instance, anything about the Republic of Mexico —its agriculture—area and population capital commerce debt education finance - government —judicature —history language —Jits mines and minerals its monetary system its production and industry— its towns —states—capitals- -weights—measures- currency? Do they give you facts about this one question (alone) of the day that you would like to know in order to intelligently understand their present ana past difficulties? Do they give you the same important facts of your own state or any other state in the Union?

NO ALUM IN ROYAL BAKING POWDER square as you put on the last, you will find that at the end of the sixty four squares you have put enough coffee on the chessboard to pack into sacks, to load on freight cars, to make a train that would reach 53 times the distance between here and the moon. (If you could find a chess-board big enough.) Don’t say that this Is Impossible until you have taken a pencil and pa per and tried doubling up sixty-four times. Another somewhat surprising prop osition is this: A penny put out at compound Interest in the Year One, the rate of 5 per cent, and left to ac cumulate until the year 1776, would by that time have amounted to a sum, equivalent to a. mass of gold eighteen hundred (1800) times the weight of the earth.

Do they give you facts in general about the earth ? To put it another way— What do you know about— pears In Adam Smith, whose great work “Wealth of Nations,’’ appeared in the year 1776.
