Borne man ought to get rich, an* Bounces the Dallas News If be can in vent a spike long enough to nail cam paign lies so they will stay nailed. t A New York man joked wtfle his leg was being cut off. That sounds very fine and heroic, to the Chicago News, but let him toss off a few mer ry quips while his teeth are being pulled If he wants to attract attention. Henry James says that he never beard an American woman say, "thank you.” observes the Birmirtham Age Herald. Again one wonders what kind of women were Mr. James' associates when he was visiting In this country, declares the Chattanooga Times. f Senator John T, Morgan of Alabama is over 80 years of age, but is said to work harder than any other mem ber of the senate. He has practically no Income but his salary, notes the Argonaut, but he has never accepted a railroad pass for himself or for any member of his family, and while he occasionally contributes to the maga zine* he always refuses to accept any compensation. A difference of opinion has devel oped between Rev. C. Ernest Smith and the Washington Post about Sun day In the capital city. The clergy man say#; ‘'Sunday, throughout a large part of Washington, is neither a day of rest nor of religious obser vance. Whatever may the t expltn allot, Sunday la„prftCTb ly\ worse kept here than In any other city ot the cast.” The newspaper says: “There Is no other city In the United State# of even half the population of Washington in which Sunday is char acterized by such delightful, restful quietude as prevails here. It Is more like the old-faahioned New England village than the typical American city.” According to former Labor Commls sloner Carroll D, Wright the era of groat strike# is passing, a result he at tributes to Aie growth of a spirit of conciliation.

Chewing mechanically la a good thing, for It breaks up the meat, but practically It i# a bad thing, for It make# it hard to dlgost. Of course, chewing is beneficial when eating starchy substances." Dr. Wiley, laying down a formula for a century of life, said: “Eat plenty of good wholesome food.

DRY TIMES FOR GEORGIA s House Passes Senate Prohibition Bill By Majority of One Hundred Votes. Effective January 1, 1908. The Georgia house of representa tives, Tuesday night, passed the Hard man-Covington-Neel state prohibition bill by a majority of an even one hun dred votes—the final count being 139 ayes to 39 nays. The bill Was paused with the amendments of the, temper ance committee of the house and two minor amendments Introduced by Mr. Wright of Floyd and Mr. Wise of Fay ette, at 7: S3 o'clock, after a day which had been spent In consideration of the measure and the flood of am nd ments and substitutes which had been introduced. The action of the house means the wiping out of the legalized liquor traf fic in a state which has never been free from It since Georgia was a state; a fight which came as an overwhelm ing surprise to the whiskey element and the antt-prohibltlon forces of the state, and was pushed forward with an amazing force and determination. Weeks ago the anti-prohibitlo lists of Georgia gave up the conflict m too un equal. They realized they were con tending against Insuperably odds; that the sentiment of the state was over whelmingly in favor of prohibition, and the best they could hope for was an extension of time in which the bill should go into effect or a modification of some of its more stringent provis ions. The prohibitionists, confident of their strength, conced'd nothing — would not admit that a concession of s* ins kind devolved upon them—and made tho victory the most swieping anti complete of any state in the United States voting on a similar measure. On January 1st, 1908, there will not be a state in the United States with a prohibition measure, so complete as Georgia's will be. The hill leaves no loopholes for selling whiskey in Georgia. If its provisions are com plied with, whiskey will be eliminated as a factor in the life of the state. It was 4:3s o'clock Wednesday af ternoon that debate on the bill ceased and voting on the amendments and substitutes began. it had been a quiet day, The gal ,pr ' te wer | Cm pty.

The measure waa about to be put on Its passage. At 7:10 o'lock it was realized that tho bill had neetved 92, votes enough to secure Its passage. The news Alter ed rapidly to the corridors and a mighty cheer went up— a cheer which was as but a whisper In a tempest to tho storm that arose outside whtn the last vote had been cast at 7:53 o'clock and the official new# was con vey* d to the waiting crowd, many of whom had been In waiting all day. At 8 o'clock Mr. Candler of DeKalb, after the announc inent of Speaker Slaton that the bill bad passed, acked unanimous coneem that the me.' ure bo transmitted to the senate. At S:OS o'clock, on motion of Mr. Hall of U.bb, the house adjourned. There was but little cheering among the members as the gavel of Speaker Slaton foil.
