WILLIAM H. TAFT.
Mr. Taft Ims come and gone. It is
well. Mr. Taft Ims made an impres
sion in the section that few northern
men have made. We like Mr. Taft;
Jie is thoroughly American and whole
souled fellow. We believe Mr. Taft,
personally, is sound to the core. He
has been tried and has not been found
wanting. We believe Mr. Taft will
make a fine executive; in fact, as fine
as it is possible for a Rrepubliean preti
dent to make. But Mr. Taft is mixed
up with the Republican gang. How
ever, he lias learned much. Tie found
the most genial hospitality, the high
est type of manhood, the fairest and
noblest women.. We wined him, we
dined him, we danced hi r, and enter
tained him, as only the people of Dixie
ean entertain. Mr. Taft is pleased
with us and we are pleased with him.
But Mr. Taft hasn’t captured us or
Republieanized us. Caspar never con
quered our English forefathers, but
they absorbed all that was best in the
Roma.. Civilization and rejected all
they did not like and kept growing
and improving.
.We, believe that the visit of Mr. Taft
will mean much for the entire country
for tt will have a tendency to give us a
better understanding of each other.
Besides he has promised to do things.
And again he has put himself pretty
clearly ns not. favoring classical educa
tion or political aspiration for the ne
gro. If we had had him with ns long
enough wc might make a pretty good
Democrat out of him.
Long live the Chief.

Pood Company For 1909.
You arc careful what choice of
friends the young people of your
household make. You do not open
■wide the door to those whose speech
and behavior betray ill-breeding and
lax morals. Are you as careful to
shut it against books and periodicals
that present vulgar and demoralizing
pictures of life and it’s purpose? Per
haps you are among those that have
found that The Youth’s Companion
occupies the same place in the family
Reading that the high-minded young
man or woman holds among your as
sociates. The Companion is good
without being “goody-goody.” It is
entertaining, it is informing. In its
stories it depicts life truly, hut it
chooses tho«o phases of life in which
duty, honor, loyalty are the guiding
motivet.
A full description of the current
volume will be sent with sample
copies of the paper to any address on
request. The new subscriber who at
once sends $1.75 for a year’s sub
scription will receive free The Com
panion’s new Calendar for 1909, “In

White Springs
We received the White Spring.-
letter this week in due time
hut owing to the fact that the writer’,
name did not accompany it we were
compelled, according to our rules, to
leave it out. To always insure pub
licity of your leeters, always write
your real name on a little slip and
send with the letter. Wo will mr
publish your name, we only want i
as a matter of good faith.
It is a little early to be talking
politics, but ye editor heard the con
versation of two men of affairs in
Milledgeville discussing-tbe race for
iolicitos next year. They seemed to
«avor some of our “tall” timber for
the place. It sound*good to us.
| The Action of a Spinet.
The spinet instrument was an im
provement upon what was known ns
the clavichord, the tone of which, al
though weak, was capable, unlike that
of the harpsichord or spinet, of in
crease or decrease, reflecting the finest
gradations of the touch of the player.
In this power of expression it was
without a rival until the piano was in
vented. The early history of the clavi
chord previous to the fifteenth century
rests in profound obscurity, but it is
said that there is one bearing the date
1020 having four octaves without the
D sharp and G sharp notes. The spinet
was the invention of the Venetian Spl
netta. The action is unique. The in
strument is similar to a small harpsi
chord, with one string to each note.
The strings are set in vibration by
points of quills elevated on wooden
uprights known as jacks, and the de
pression of the keys causes the points
to pass upward, producing a tone sim
ilar to that of a harp. Springs are used
to draw the quills back into position.
The keyboard is arranged in a manner
after the present modern piano.
Apartment House Life.
I know you say you can't help living
in a flat, but you could help it if you
weren’t too lazy to live in the suburbs.
There is no real home life possible
without children—not one, but two or
three— enough to keep the young moth
er too busy to make believe she be
longs to the smart set. And apart
ments are either too small for that or
the landlords won’t tolerate children
nt all. And then there is no neighbor
hood life. It's a good thing to have
gossipy neighbors. You’re more apt
to be careful of the way you live.
I always think of apartment house
life as a sort of joke on socialism—a
lot of strangers under one roof with
just two mutual interests, a dumb
waiter shaft and an artificial palm.
And I’m bound to say that I think it
Is responsible for a heathen race with
no children. Children mean sacrifice,
and it’s sacrifice that make good men
and women. —Amelia E. Barr in New
York Wotld.
A Scoop.
John L. Toole, the famous English
comedian and practical joker, and Mr.
Justice Hawkins, who was afterward
Lord Brampton, were great friends.
They were at supper together one even
ing discussing the events of the day.
The judge incidentally mentioned that
he Intended on the morrow giving the
man he had been trying fifteen years
because he deserved it.
As Toole was leaving he blandly in
quired:
“Oh, would you mind my calling at
the newspaper offices and telling them
about that fifteen years? It. will be a
tip fcr them—exclusive information,
you know—and will do me no end of
good with the press.”
“Good gracious! No, sir!” exclaimed
the judge, who took the precaution of
accompanying Toole to his hotel and
seeing him safely to bed.
Woman’s Spur.
" ‘The scent was excellent that frosty
morning. She walked across the field,
holding her riding skirt free of her
patent leather boots and silver spurs.’ ”
“Spurs?” shouted the editor. “What
alls yon, man?”
“Spurs?” the puzzled author repeat
ed. “Don’t they wear spurs nowadays?
I know they used to.”
“Women never wear spurs unless
they ride astride. They wear one spur
—one only. What good would a second
be, except to tear the clothes?”
“I see.” said the other. “A natural
error, wasn't It?”
“Only a natural error for an igno
ramus. But the usual writer of sport
ing stories is an Ignoramus. I rarely
read a sporting story but I come across
some error quite as blatant as this of
yours.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat
Forced Draft Realism.
"How Is it that Scribbler's novels
thrill with such vital, gripping, realis
tic portrayal of human passions?” ask
ed Danks.
“Well,” said Hanks, "when he gets
ready to write a novel he orders a gen
eral house cleaning, sends for the
plumber to fix the gas jets and for the
tinner to fix the stovepipes, blds his
tittle daughter to stay at home to
practice five finger exercises, hires a
street piano to play German, Irish and
Italian national airs in front of the
house and tells his wife that her fam
ily is not as good as bls own. Then ho
sits and takes notes of what happens.”
—Brooklyn Life.
Adam’s Apple.
The projection In the front of the
throat in men, denoting the position
of the thyroid cartilage, is styled
"Adam's apple.” It develops rapidly
usually when the voice “breaks,” be
ing comparatively small In both chil
dren and women. The name arose
from the tradition that when Adam
attempted to swallow the apple in
paradise It stuck in his throat, giving
<ise to the swelling since seen in all
Ids adult male descendants.
A Great Man.
“Father,” said little Rollo, "what is
a great man?”
"A great man, my son, is one who
manages to gather abeut him a whole
lot of assistants who will take the
blame for bls mistakes while he gets
tiie credit for their good Ideas!”
