The residence of a citizen was entered during his absence by bail in.', who had proper legal paper* authorising and instructing them to levy on his property, and they proceeded to carry away all his house hold goods, even to the toys of his children. Such a thing is of frequent occurrence.

The judge, it appears, was perfectly willing to treat with the negro, and make such an adjiisfnienr with him as should satisfy him. Prob ably the old fellow would have been glad to accept, five or ten dollars, for whatever -liould have been paid would have been like finding so much in the stree;. since really he had not been Injured. Such an ar ratigemcnt would have left out the lawyer in the case, and finding hitn hcl! Ignored he availed himself of this law.

I he question of Matkuselah’s age is mow causing a discussion which " 1 f"; s , ‘ l become fierce. The Mathuseiah la question, whose age o'. ~SB all«d by Iconoclasts and skeptics, is not our tin iiil of biblical history, tie lived to the ripe old age ftf nep years winch is not doubted. But Uh« Methuselah whose age is questioned was the Methuaaleh who lived In New York. He wa* a frog who was kept In the zoo, and who was named Methuse lah because he was so very old. He was found in a Nevada mine about a "'ar :>a<> some uOO feet below the surface. A blast liad been made In tlio Holid rock ai that depth, and when the miners returned after the explosion, 111 the cleft of the rock that had been blasted were found a number of frogs. They Imd been imprisoned in the rock, and had been liberated from their living tomb by the explosion. There was but one possible wav to explain their presence tn the rock, and that was bv assuming that they Were euught during some former geological period and that the five lmnrir. 1 loot of rock and earth above them formed since they were im prisoned. Tills would make them a thousand years old at least. One of those frogs was placed In the New York 100 where he was given special care. Notwithstanding his great age, ho soon became quite lively. He fattened on the diet of files and other frog dainties on which he was fed, and latterly had become quite a sport. Ou two occa sions recently he had got out of his cage at night, and the last time was found ihe next morning much used up looking and with one of Ms eve* knocked out, presumably In an encounter with some more youthful rival frog. Now old Methuselah is dead, and the doubters try to rob him of his fame. 1 he\l\ aslilngion Tltuog calls the story of his age a nature fake, and labors to prove that a frog could not possibly live without food long er than two years There are others equalfr ss doubting, and as truth travels proverbially slower Ilian calumny It may be feared that the as persions cast on Methuselah'* age will have the effect of robbing htm of the reputation it should give him. It must not be doubted simply because no other frogs have ever been known u, fast so .ong No other frogs have been known before who were kept in a state of suspended animation In an airtight cell live hundred feet below the earth. That Methuselah was released from such a cell I* well established And nobody has offered an explanation of how he got Into that cell except the one Indicated abov- In It right to question Methuselah's age when the doubters cannot e'en suggest u possible explanation for assigning him a lesser ago? Away with such doubting Methuselah, the sporty old frog wlk> lived in the New York zoo for the last twelve months apd has now departed for the happy hunting ground of the frogs, was fully as old as has been claimed.

THE AUGUSTA HkttAl.il THE INIQUITOUS PROTECTIVE TARIFF | Hon. T. W. Hardwick Shows How it Enables the Sugar Trust to Rob the People of $70,000,000 a Year On March 27, during the debate in ; the house on the Payne tariff bill, Hon. T. \V. Hardwick delivered a 1 speech in which as a part of his argument, against the passage of the . Payne bill he exposed the “protec tion" plan by which the sugar trust "nabled to collect for itself $70,000,- 000 a year out of the procket* of the American people, while this same tariff tax yields the government but SB4 000 in incomes. Mr. Hardwick said on this point: Under the Ijingley law there w :;re imported into the United States dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, 2,329,564 long tons of raw su gar. This sugar Is classified as fol lows in reference to the duty paid by it. Ijong tons. Full dutiable sugar 347,509 Concession sugar, preferen tial rates of duty, from Philippine Islands 1,340,400 Free sugar from— Hawaii 418,102 Porto Rico 212,853 Total 2,329,564 The total duties collected on all raw, sugars during that year were $54,310,082. All of this sugar must, of course, be refined before it is used, and it is well known that the sugar trust owns and controls the vast ma jority. indeed almost every one of the refineries. The sugar triißt there fore had to pay this $54,000,00" (round numbers) to get its raw sugar. For that amount of money paid in duties they were allolwed to import free rnd dutiable raw sugar to the amount of 2,329.564 long tons, so that it will be readily seen that the average duty actually paid on all raw sugar was $23.31 per long ton, or 1.04 cents per pound. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1907, there were refined in the United States 2,843,923 long tons of sugar. During the same period there was imported Into the United States only 4,318.995 pounds, or 1,928 long tons, of refined sugar, that paid a duty of $84,220.43. The importations of refined sugar had dropped from 101,198,512 pounds in 1900, yielding a revenue of nearly $2,000,000, to the pitiful figures already given tor the fiscal year 1907 under the joint and benefleient operation of the Dingley tariff and the sugar trust. It. is thus seen how completely the heavy duty on refined sugar has shut out. importations of refined sugar and compelled the importation of raw sugar only. The sugar trust., owning and controlling the refineries of the country, pays the duty on the raw sugar and then sells to the American THE MANICURE LADY She Thinks Kidnapping in Some Cases Might Be a Blessing “I see, them kidnappers is-at it again,’’ said the Manicure Lady. ‘‘l should think the last case would have taught them a lesson.” “Somebody threatened to kidnap you?" ventured the Head Ilarber. “Cut the flip stuff!” warned the mtwiicure Lady. “You ought to real ize that kidnapping is too serious a matter to joke about. If you had seen that poor young husband and father, which just had his nails did, and if you could have heard them sad quiv ers of emotion in his voice, you wouldn't feel so fresh. Honest, George, since he has went out of the shop I feel that depressed I could shed tears on my best Irish lace waist.” "What about him?" asked the Head Barber, showing a mild inter est. “Has he been stung?” "He has,” said the Manicure Lady. "He told me all about It. '’Oh, my dear young lady,” he say* to me the minute I started on his nails, ‘thank heaven you are not a mother.’ ‘I do,' says I. It is well,’ says he. ‘You are too young, too fair, to feel the anguish which is even now racking two fond parent hearts. I have t wife at home,’ he says, ’almost as young and fair as you. She Is sit ting there now, numb with a great sorrow.” “ What is the matter?’ 1 asks him. ‘lt is terrible, terrible,' says he 'We have just received a letter from one of those awful kidnapping gangs, and they have threatened to grab our little boy Beanie. They did not say In their letter how or when tho cruel blow would fall —and we arc living In suspense from day to day.' "Then he takes hold of my two hands wtth hoth of his, and trembles with hls grief." "Oh,"said the Head Barber, "Was that the lay?” "There wasn't no lay about It." de clared the Manicure Lady. “He was In sorrow, and he told me that the »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ EDITORIAL FUNNYGRAPHS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ •»•♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ It’s curious, but many Georgia ed itors don't think the explanation of the bolting congressmen explained things and yet It was plainly labeled explanation.—Macon News.

During that year we consumed 2,843,923 long tons of sugar refined in this country (besides the compara tively trifling amount of 1,928 long tons imported), and upon every ton and every pound of this sugar the American consumer paid to the sugar trust a bonus equal to the protective and prohibitive tariff imposed on re fined sugar; a duty so useless as a revenue producer that during the fis cal year 1907 It yielded to the govern ment of the United States but $84,000 in revenue, and yet so powerful as a i bulwark, behind which the sugar trust lies sheltered, that it cost the people , jof the country $124,202,956.64, or the ; number of long tons of sugar refined in this country (2,843,923) multiplied jby the duty per long ton ($43.68)) I So that if our account be cast up with the sugar trust, and that, concern ; ibe given credit for the $54,000,000 ! that is paid in duties on raw sugar and be charged with the $124,000,000, j the extra price which it is enabled to ' charge the consumer on refined sugar , iby means of a miserable and fraud ulent duty which yields the govern- 1 ment but $84,000 per year, it will be j seen Ihat the net result ofi this de tectable process is to demonstrate that this beautiful system results in a clean gift to the sugar trust of $70,000,000 per annum out of the j pockets of every man, woman and child in America.

Mr. Hardwick. Exactly; but that is raw sugar. Mr, Johnson, of South Carolina; The sugar trust can get the benefit. Mr. Hardwick: The sugar trust, of course, will be glad to have all the free raw sugar possible, because the more free raw sugar you let in the less money you force them to pay to the government. But whenever you talk about letting refined sugar in, then the sugar trust begins to squeal; and the fact that you have left it so high that you are not going to let refined sugar in is the reason why the sugar trust is so satisfied with the present situation and so Intensely delighted with the Payne bill. pressure of my sympathetic hands helped him to bear the thrusts ot cruel fate. I reckon he must have held my hands for ten minutes be fore he was strong enough and calm enough to let me finish his nails.” The Head Barber grinned cynical ly under his moustache, but held his peace. "Sometimes, George, when I come in contact with them cases of mental anguish, I wonder why it is that tho joy and sorrow of this world is spread so uneven. “Now look at the case of that poor man, for ins'ance. Him and his wife has only one boy, their pride and joy. My parents has raised a big family and nobody ever even hinted at; kidnapping one of ns, though heaven knows! the old gent could have spared brother Wilfred as easy as you can shave a college boy. "In fact, father was saying the other night, when he was reading about the Whitla case, that a little kidnapping now and then had its ad vantages, and when he said it he was looking at Wilfred. Wilfred was so busy writing a sonnet on choru3 girls that he didn’t get the hunch, but the rest of us knew what was in father’s mind. "Ah, well, George, it.is but a better world at best, and life has more shades than lights. Even now, when I close my eyes, I can see that poor father setting across from me, and can feel the nervous clutch of his poor, tired fingers on my pink palms.'’ “He ain't no father,” said the Head Barber, shortly. “The Joke has went far enough. I know him. He just wanted to hold your hands. Next time he comes in put on your rubbet gloves and cheat him out of the elec trie thrills, kid.” "Honest, George?” gasped the j Manicure Lady.
