Or*. —If Commander Peary were to visit Uie far wesl, ho might find U a» chilly u» he dhl at the North Pole fur practically every one In thffc section iwems to be a Cook supporter. With n Mew to do termlnlng public sentiment In this city on the Polar controversy, a straw vote was taken at the Com mercial club at the lunch hour today and 250 business and professional men expreeaed themselves on which of the two explorers In entitled to the credit of planting ths flag at the North Pole. The opinions were almost unani mous for Dr. Cook's Claims. Those writing their opinions did not doubt that Peary reached the pole, but cen sured hint severely for hts attitude toward Dr. Cook. Expressions on the subject wore many and varied. Most held the be lief that both reached the pole but Cook was first sn<j thought him en titled to more honor because of hts attitude since his return. Command er Peary's charges against Cook were eharacterlxed as imgentlemanly ivnd unsportsmanlike and It was said they tended to weaken public confidence In Peary's own claims "Cook did It like a hero and acted like a gentleman afterward," was the way one man put It. and this Is the keynote of nearly all the expressions. "Roth got there, but only one gen tleman reached the pole." said an other. “Cook is a gentleman In his nt tltude; can’t any as much for Peary.” was another opinion. "I think they both got there but am sorry Peary did; he made a fool of himself.” said another. .v ... ,-amswjC'' w* f r.iv«rvi, vws. n» tw- Your Nerves A*k your doctor If alcoholic Uinmiunt» aro not often sow Atootrous leheo fioen la nertwiu pooplo. from (he Immta of (his time-honored con cern.

"M> sympathies aro with Cook. Peaty is a poor sport," was the way another put It. C. H Sholen, who is a prominent mountaineer of the northwest, and who is familiar with Dr, Cook's ex pirations In Alaska, said: ”1 examined very carefully Dr. Cook’s aocouut of his ascent of Mt. McKinley, 'the top of the continent,’ and that statement, It seems to me, iontatna convincing proof of his hav ing reached the summit. In an his arctic work he has shown remarkable persistence nnd indomitable energy. I think there is no doubt that Dr. Cook discovered the pole. Probably Peary got there a year later but his expivseions since returning are un sportsmanlike nnd tend to throw doubt on his .claims 1 say, hurrah for Dr. Cook.” Others rely on the judgment In polar matters of the Danes, who ap pear to have accepted Dr. Cook's claims after investigation. Some point to the fact that scientists ot that country who interviewed Dr. Co#t are well able to judge of the truth or falsity of his statements and what convinces them should be suffi cient for avone. Despite thoir great distance from the center of the controversy, which must be in New York or Washing ton, as both explorers have their greatest number of friends and sup porters there, the people of the Pa cific Coast are no less interested in the feat of planting the flag at the polo and look forward eagerly to the investigations of the rival claims The western love of fair play |g brtnr| lug out many uncomplimentary re marks toward Commander Peary Your nerves moat be fed with pure, rich blood, or there will bo trouble.

ATLANTA, Ua.—The death Monday In Toklo of Bishop Seth Ward, while expected, came as a distinct shock to Methodists in Atlanta and over the state. Foliowi nj? so close upon the death of Bishop Galloway it is in doed as his friends state a double affliction. At the £lme he was chosen to the bishopric, four years ago. his friends predicted a long career. It will be recalled that since his election he held the North Georgia Conference at MilledgevUle and at Cartcrsville, He was 61 years of age. He served as assistant missionary secretary of the Methodist episcopal churoh, south, from 1902 until 190(5, and was elect ed bishop in the latter year. He was n native Texan, his ancestors, how ever, lived in Virginia for more than two hundred and Oftv years and w»*re among the best known people of that commonwealth. He went to Kobe last month on his regular tour of inspec tion of the Methodist missions of Ja pan and was taken ill shortly after his arrival. MANY APPLY FOR CENSUS POSITION All Carolina Congressmen Are Swamped With Let ters From Applicants. Special to The Heraid. COLUMBIA. S. C. —Every one of the seveu South Carolina congress men is being swamped with mail from persons desirous of position as census enumerators Some of the correspondents fhink the power of appointment is with the congress man and make application direct to him for the job, and others merely ask him to say a word in their in terest to the real appointing power. This Is a matter In which the con greesmen can render their eonstltu ema no aid. Enumerators will be designated by Director Durand upon the nomination of the sevefal census supervisors, with whom the congress man have little or no influence. Ap plications should be filed direct with the supervisor. The number of su pervisors to be employed In this state is 890, an Increase of 96 over the allowance for 1900. | CONVERSE TEACHER IN GOVERNMENT WORK Special to The Herald. COLUMBIA. S. C—Dr. Arthur L. Manchester, director of music at Coo -1 verse college, Spartanburg, has Just ' concluded an exhaustive lnvestlga | don for the United States bureau of j education into the teaching of mnsio !in the schools and colleges of this | country. He concludes that uniformity In ! standards of independent music I schools and music departments in eol leges is necessary. Well conceived courses of high grade are offered, but I there is lacking that unity and com ! plete co-ordination of effort that characterise a well-grounded j scheme of education. Statistics were sought from 1,088 j institutions, of which 381 were not organised institutions or else gave no information which could he used, while 112 colleges, normal schools and universities reported no music departments. More or less complete information was fnrnahod by 695, of which 281 are Incorporated. The in structors number 2,606 and the stu dents 77,85#. i THE AUGUSTA HBRALff NOTES BY THE WAY By A. D. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Hogan, of the Lethe Home There are some places which, like some people, hold one’s memory by a kind of fascination. We have our say about them, and think it is over, when, 10, we have to return to it, im pelled by memory’s charm. So with Troy and the Lethe Home. While the Home is six miles from the town, they will always be associ ated together In my mind. One lingers at the pretty town, with its nice people and sweet homes; and if he gives himself an hour or so at Lethe he feels he would also love to linger there. The pictures presented today, of the artistic home of Superintendent and Mrs. Hogan, and of themselves, would nave been crowded if given last week, and we give them space today. In a call at Thomson, I found the good town grieving over the untimely - —§ i . 1 1 The Main Building of the Lethe Home JOHNSTON NEOROES PROSPER. JOHNSTON, 8.

De cidedly genial he was yet quiet and unobtrusive. His kind, open face in dicated great benevolence, which fine quality—ail his associates say he pos sessed. The quaint quarters where he pub lished the Journal, together with many personal relics, would make an engaging picture for a story. His personality overtops any out ward surroundings, however, and we I hope some able pen will soon take in hand a public portrayal of the good man and his devoted career. The burnt out restaurant at Thom son has a worthy successor in the Schneider Case, not far from the de pot. This eating place deserves pa tronage. Good food and polite atten tion and cheap rates ought to give it good success.
