Police Commissioner Lawson very
properly opposed the appointment of
any more mere "tax eaters" as detec-
tives. Through the pliabilty of the
General Assembly and the burdensome
generosity of Governor Reynolds and
the Republican majority of the Police
Commission, the taxpayers of Whining
ton are now to be saddled with the cost
of keeping up four of these function
aries, where two would have been full
sutiiciency. How simple matter it
would have been, had consideration for
the public interest been the controlling
motive, for the governor and the Police
Commission to have agreed upon the
selection of two real detectives instead
of four "tax caters" But there are SC
many hungry party workers and "every

that instantaneously and painlessly,
when properly applied This fact had
been accidentally and mofficially DEM
onstrated time and again in perhaps all
cases where perfect contract had been
made with current of sufficient inten-
sity, and the Kemmler execution, when
Invested of the sensationalism which
New York reporters injected into it,
was conclusive, in spite of all its short
comings. Kemmler was killed by the
current and, in the judgment of the
scientific men present, was killed
without any sensation of suffer-
ing. But the arrangements for
that execution were defective; the
voltage was low, and the executioners
were evidently so flustered and unstrung
that they hardly knew what they were
doing. This appears to have been all
remedied at Sing Sing Tuesday, and
the four condemned men TO have been
killed with as much expedition and dis
patch as any man was ever killed by the
lightning's stroke, which indicates that
execution by electricity has come to
stay in New York and justitles the legis-
lators who enacted the law and the
courts that approved it; while this Off
cial demonstration of the deadliness of
the electric current will work no injury
to manufacturers of dynamos, because
it established nothing that was not al

not been previously unofficially demon
strated in scores of fatal accidents.

That National Again.

Last week we dissected that
wonderful July statement issued by
the Southern Mutual B. & L.. Associa-
ton, of Atlanta, Ga, and showed
from their own figures that they had
made only about $10,OO0.0O the past
wear, on an investment of over $780,
10000, instead of SIS, 10000 as claimed
by them. Their rich stockholders in
Columbia would do we'll to examine
those figures carefully.
The poorer shareholders, who new
er hope to carry their stock very long
anyway, are more interested In the
following clause of little book OF
rules published by this benevolent
Association. It reads thus:
"Any member being six months IN
arrears, such stock shall lapse with
out notice, and all payments thereon
shall be forfeited to the Association"
How does that sound as the lttera'
ture Of q "Mutual" Association?
The Local Association has no such
word in it's rules and regulations al
'forfeit." We do not rob one class Of
shareholders for the benefit OF an
other, nor indeed does any Legitimate
Building & Loan Association.

Are You Going To The Fair?

II you are, please take time to ex-
anime the Morgan Spading Har-
rows, the best pulverizers in the
world.
The action OF these harrOws is
similar to that of gang of spades,
each cutter lifting and turning the
soil from depth Of to 6 inches,
doing more perfect work than Is
possible with any other harrow in the
world. 1t leaves no burrows or ridges,
such as is left by disc and cutdtody
harrows. When your field is har-
rowed, it is left perfectly smooth.
Works well in all classes of land wet,
clay, sandy, stony and sOdded, and in
oats, wheat, corn or other stubble
ground.
Although the work is greater and
better than that performed by disc
harrOws, still by reason of the pecu-
liar construction of the blades or
spades, the draft is lighter. These
harrows are strong and durable, and
are selling strictly on their merits.
Some of our claims may seem ex-
travagant, but we know what we are
talking about, and can prove ouI
assertion. All we ask is chance tC
show our harrow before you buy
Yours in the lead.
