A General Registration Measure and the
Venerable Insurance BIZ.

ATLANTA. GA, December 1.-THE
Georgia Senate passed n general-registra-
ton bill to-day, and the House passed
the Venahls insurance-blll. two OF the
most important measures before the
General Assembly.
Heretofore. the State has had no uni
form system of registration. Some coun-
ties had no law at all. The bill just
passed provides for uniform system for
every county. It Is a non-partisan mea-
sure. The registration is TO be conducted
by three managers In each county. These
managers are to be appointed by the
Superior-Court Judges. Two managers will
be from the party which had the majority
in the last election, and the third will be
from the minority party.
The General Assembly adjourns to.mor.
row.

surance company found the report fake.
Many poor farmers who furnished him

THE Tucson Citizen is suffering the
punishment which always comes to him
who lnterferes in family quarrel.
With courage which could have been

zen inserted It's nose into the cyclonic
disturb ance which surrounds the Star
and the Gazette, Whatever NAV have
been the Citizens purpose, whether to
reduce or intensity the commotion, it
has at least succeeded in creating q
diversion. Hostilities were briefly sus.
pended az between the Star and the
Gazette, and time was taken by both
belligerents to whack the impertinent
and journalistic nose and remind the
Citizen that. this was purely Demo
cratic disagree ment which if left tc
itself would be properly adjusted by the
annihilation Of one Of the combatants

The Lesvenworth Times in reply to
the Des Moines Leader thus maets an
argument which is based on a condition
and not theory:
The farmers could sell their wheat if
they were permitted to buy what the
foreigners who want it have to SELL
Des Moines Leader.
Are the people of Europe living with
out food, or do they raise what they
can and i'm port what they need to sup
ply the deficiency? How is it with the
oriiuary mortal in this country; doesn' u
he buy provisions for his family regard
less whether the grocer, butcher, miller,
baker and farmer will take their pay in
trade or demand the hard cash? II
they refuse barter does he let his family
starve? Az with the individual, so

The Lender is old enough to stop mon

aid. A negro man appeared at the
ticket Office in the depot and purchased
a ticket for himself. Then he said to
the ticket agent:
"Boss, I want mother round trip
'scursion ticket for corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in aston
ishment. An excursion ticket for a
corpse was something new to him, even
with his varied experience.
The negro explained: "You see, boss
my brudder died yesterd ay and l want
ter take de corpse down to Montgom
cry and let de family view the mains
and den bring 'em back to Birming
ham an bury 'em. Dis will be hear
cheaper den fur de family to cum W

The agent saw at once that this was
great stroke of economy and enter
prise on the part of the negro. There
were probably dozen members of the
family, and tickets for them to Biz
mingham and board while there would
be quite expensive. the corpse could
get the benefit of excursion rates tc
Montgomery and would pay no board
while there. Thus the negro subserve6
the ends of economy and preserved his
respect for the grief of the family al

A Horse Lives in the White House.


A horse has home in the white
house, says a Washington correspond
ent of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
This is a literal fact which visitors
never discover and which few Washing
ton people know. The horse which
shares the executive mansion with the
president isn't thoroughbred. He has
neither pedigree nor record. He is
just a plain, everyday horse, with a
white star in his forehead, a faith
full companion to Edgar R. Beckley.
And who is Edgar R. Beckley? The
man who for twenty-five years has car
ried to and from the white house all of
the interesting and valuable mail re-
ceived and sent, and who has never
been found remiss in his duty. Rain
or shine, in all seasons, he makes hour
ly trips between the white house and
the city post office He is the white
house mail carrier And the horse that
has his home in the white house car
ries Beclley. The part of the mansion
set apart for the horse is one corner of
the conservatory. A thin partition is
all that separates the roomy stall from
the orchids. There is just room enough
for the stall and temporary supply of
feed, and there the horse eats and
sleeps, under the same roof with the
president of the United States.

STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting
Arizona passed the house of representatives by
very large majority, and the further fact that
the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early
admission, we concluded that it was unneces-
sary to re-convene the statehood convention.
This conclusion has been submitted to various
OF the committees of the convention and they
have all concurred therein.
We therefore announce that the meeting OF
the statehood convent IN that was to have been
