THE ‘RECORD.
PUBLISHED ON FRIDAYS.
GIBSON, GA
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF GLASCOCK
COUNTY.
4. W. WHlTfLEY, Manager,
The year 1906 is said to have been
the most prosperous in the history of
the world.
The most arch deed of piteous cru
elty of man to woman has come to
light In a Massachusetts divorce case,
learns the New York Sun. A man
was in the habit of making his wife
sit np at night to bear him read his
plays and operas. Another bit of evi
dence In favor of the theory that
artists should remain single.
Church attendance in rural dis
tricts, it is said, ts greatly decreased
by the prevailing "motor fever.” The
ever-increasing use of the automobile
for Sunday touring on country roads
banishes the churchgoer who drives
with his family to church, for the
horse Is apt to take fright and life
become thereby endangered.
Tho wit of man ts following s long
way off in the track ot nature, the
great Inventor, but cannot yet match
some of her roost familiar devices.
Let an inventor take the firefly for a
model, is the advice of tho Christian
Register, and build a flying ship able
to turnilh its own motive power and
generate its own electricity.
One farmer’s son of our acquain
tance, remarks the American Culti
vator, has been following the dry
goods trade for two or three years,
but has now decided that he can do
better by returning to the farm. Ills
bit of business training will do him
no harm. Many ot our best farmers
aro those who have changed back
again from some other occupation.
JU a burst of patriotism the Cal
cutta (India) Sanjlbanl says: The
markets of Bengal are again full of
English goods. Come, O brothers,
and let us ail say that we will not
pollute our hands by touching Eng
lish goods. We will not let the Ben
gali now be made an object of ridi
cule. Lot English goods rot In the
mahajans' godowns and be eaten by
white ants and rats.
In the United States alone, leaving
out the forosts, about 850,000,000
acres are devoted to agriculture;
there aro nearly 6,000,000 farms, on
whttjh 10,000,000 men work tor the
direct support of a rural population
of 40,000,000 souls. The value of
these farms and their equipment is
over $20,000,000, and the value of
their products In 1905 ts $6,415,000,
000, "The manufacturing Industries
that depend upon farm products for
raw materials employed 2,145,000
persons In 1900, and used a capital of
$4,132,000,000,”
Speaking at the recent
meeting of the Bank ot Montreal
the Increased cost of living as a
tor In the drain on capital, the chair
man remarked: "It is an Interesting
question how far this Is due to any
Increased cost of what are called the
necessities of life, or to an advance
in the style ot living and the
creased use of luxuries.
both enter Into the case, but this
too large a subject for adequate
ment on this occasion. In this matter
some evidence may be adduced from
the fact that the dry goods and other
trades report the more costly
of goods now being sold.”
The tltantte forces which have
recently caused the Californian, the
Chilean and the Jamaican
trophes transmitted their swift
mic waves through the heart of
globe and over large areas of Its
face. But their Intense and
trous effects were limited to
ly small portions ot its crust. World
wide changes under the existing order
of nature require ages for their
guration. A century ago it was
erally Imagined that our cities and
towns were built upon a thin
trial shell resting upon a sea
molten rock, which occupied alt
the earth’s Interior, and that
quakes resulted from quivers or tidal
movements la this liquid mass
neath our feet. On the contrary,
the present day all geological
and researches seem to show
sively that, despite the existence
deep seated volcanic fires in
limited areas, the interior of
earth must be generally In a
solid state, the New York
states. There Is every reason to
lieve that, as the pressure
enormously with tho Increase
depth, the central mass of the earth
must be more solid than steel. In
the United States, excepting
the seismic belt convulsed during the
Charleston earthquake ot 1$$6 and
on the Pacific Coast, there are
largo tracts of country that now
evidence ot a very high and
ous degree ot seismicity.

\lo nified people wouldn’t have

The latest addition to the labor
union family Is reported from New
Brunswick, N. J. It is a washer
woman's union. It has not a charter
at present or any special officials, but
the members have a mutual under
standing. The rule is to start v£>rk
at 8.30 a. m. and quit at 5 p. m.
sharp, no overtime work, wages
$1.25 a day.
It Is true, as a newspaper apologist
for the railroads says, that the ap
palling loss of life on American rail
ways is partly due to the demon of
haste which is the bane of our coun
try. Still, fast trains are run in Great
Britain and on the Continent. And
how about our deadly crossings; is
the -demon of haste responsible for
them? aeks Puck. The demon of cor
porate greed has something to do
with the slaughter.
The latest demand for an enlarge
ment of the Cabinet comes from a
powerful and an authoritative source,
the National Congress of Mothers.
That excellent body Insists upon a
Secretary of Children and Home. An
exacting post to fill, but filled It must
be, exclaims the New York Sun. All
great interests must be represented
in the Cabinet, and a paternal Gov
rnment must have a finger in the
management of children and the
home. When race suicide becomes
an active political Issue, the creation
of the proposed department cannot
be long delayed.
The Rochester Post-Express is mis
taken In supposing that “New York
bewails a shortage of after dinner
speakers,” No doubt the number of
men who can climb and stick to that
perilous eminence Is small, and the
city wonders at them and admires
their courage, persistency and talent
of survival. In a sense they are vic
tims and martyrs, as their hearers
are. Most of them are fatalists as
well as altruists. There are happier
careers, and those who admire them
most will not refuse a certain sym
pathy, anjl even pity. These great
men sacrifice themselves to the sup
posed good the public, but as a
rule they do but make the public aud
themselves more lugubrious.
The conditions which will beset tho
engineer of the twentieth century will
be exacting beyond anything wo now
know, declares the Scientific Amer
ican. The importance of a strong
foundation in scientific principles
cannot be overestimated, for scien
tific principles are only the laws of
nature. These principles cannot be
learned readily after a man has be
gun his life work. His whole energy
will then be devoted to applying
these principles correctly, not in ac
quiring them laboriously, It will be
a prime necessity for the technical
college of the future to lay these
foundations broad and deep. It will
be regarded as a weakness for n col
lege to teach Its students only the
knacks of the profession, only just
enough to be an ordinary draftsman,
a tolerable surveyor, or first-class
linesman. *
Boer ascendency In the Rand is
likely to revive unlees colonization
be established on the basis of white
labor and a white population. Ac
cording to the Johannesburg press, a
solution of this desperate problem
has at length been arrived at through
the Invention of a new drill, by the
use of which a white minor can earn
$285 a month. Up to the present
time it has been Impossible to employ
white miners at any such wages. The
London Economist dwells upon this
newly Invented drill as follows: “Tho
success of this or similar Inventions
will make It possible for work which
Is at present performed by 60,000
hammer ‘boys’ to be performed in the
future by 14,000 hands, and in this
direction lies the solution of the labor
difficulty. The important point, of
course, is that if the drill Is ali that
It Is claimed to be, It will enable the
mining companies to employ white
miners at remunerative wages, and
thus help to solve both the labor and
the political problem. It is evident
that at the best the introduction of
Chinese could only be a temporary
expedient; that it would be impossi
ble to build up a permanent indus
try or to found the prosperity of the
Transvaal Colony on such a basis.
But if mechanical devices can be in
troduced which enable white miners
to be employed at satisfactory wages
in place of indentured Chinamen, the
difficulty of the labor supply and the
fear of Boer ascendancy which is ap
parently felt in certain quar AV
both be removed. And thG

PENSION FOR MRS. JACKSON.
To Received $20 Per Month for Hus
band’* Service* In Mexican War.
Mrs Thomas J. Jackson, widow of
General Stonewall Jackson, will in
future receive a pension of $20 per
month from tho national government
on account of service»s rendered by
husband, the noble Confederate
chieftain, during the Mexican war.
The hill was first introduced In the
senile by Senator Overman, and pass
ed that body. Friday it was passed
bv tho house.
There was a good deal of interest
In this pension bill. Mrs. Jackson Is
not in reduced 1 circumstances, but
those pushing the bill declared she
did not have enough of the world's
goods to support her as bocame the
widow of Stonewall Jackson. Con
gressman Nicholas Longworth, who
is a member of the house committee
ou pensions, supported the bill ac
tively. Mrs. Jackson mow lives iin
Charlotte, X. C., and the delegation
from North Carolina all interested
themselves in her behalf.
Tlad the point been raised on the
"lovnlty test” the pension for Mrs
Jackson would probably have been de
feated. Formerly the pension law held
that only Mexican war veterans who
served later In the civil war were
entitled to pensions from the govern
ment, but the law Is now silent on
that point.
ELEVEN SURVIVORS RESCUED.
Al! on Board Berlin Were Not Lost,
as Reported.
Advices from Hook of Holland stata
that after thirty hours of almost in
cessant efforts and splendid work,
the Dutch lifeboat men were finally*
rewarded by reaching the wreck of
the British steamer Berlin, and elev
en survivors on the afterpart of the
vessel were saved. Buffeted and driv
en back time after time, the sturdy
Dutchmen refused to relax their at
tempts In behalf of the handful of
shipwrecked people, and launched
their boats repeatedly only to be foil
ed by the mountainous seas
la the early afternoon Friday the
lifeboat again went out. The reced
ing tide and some improvement in
the weather, gave better hope of suc
cess, and after a hard tussle with the
sens, eleven persons still living were
taken off.
LONGWORTH A PEACEMAKER.
