A Combating Roo.ter.

One Of the agents Of the American Bible
Society recently related the following ex-
traordinary incident Of his trip through
FRANKLIN county, from which he had just
returned, says the Portland Press. There
Is a small farming community up there
among the hills, somewhat remote from
the regular routes of travel, and which
Is known IN the vicinity as the BLACK
Kingdom"
The Bible agent visited this neighbor-
noOd and walked uD into the dOoryard OF
the nrsl mousse There seemed 10 be no one
at home, but before ne had time TO knock
az the door he was surprised and startled
tack
A big Plymouth Rock rooster came at
MIN like a battering ram, with lowered
Dill and Tapping wings. The Bible agent
recovered himself and kicked out fran
tically at the enemy. Luckily his foot
struck 1t In the breast and over went the
rooster. But the fierce old clatterer was
up and at him again like a fash.
This time a well-directed kick sent the
bird rolling over and over. But II gath
cred itself together for another rush, and
the Bible agent seized a hoe that was lean
ing against the house and raised II on
high. This somewhat daunted the rooster.
IL stopped short raised itself on its toes,
gave utterance to three defiant crows,
and then retreated in good order with
stately tread.
The Bible agent found that there was
nobody in the house. As he continued on
his way he soon met some men in the hay
field. He shouted out: Look here, II you
don't look out for that rooster OF yours
he'll kill somebody or get killed himself"
At this time the men almost rolled on
the ground with laughter. One of them
came up and explained that the boys had
had become as ugly and aggressive as any
savage watchdog.

A Novel Savings Bank.

Those whose money burns holes in their
pockets may find useful hint in this sto-
ry, says the New York Advertiser. 1t is
of a student in Columbia College, and his
strikingly original manner of regulating
his personal expenditures. Like many
another youth of salad age, he finds II i'm
possible to refrain from Squandertng his
money. 1t simply burns a hole in his
pocket. So TO get over the difficulty he has
hit upon the following plan: Upon receiv-
ing the check for fortnight's allowance
intended to cover his living expenses, he
first liquidates any indebt edness that may
be outstanding to his lodging house keeper
and washerwoman and converts the whole
of the balance into fifty-cent silver pieces.
Then, going to his room and closing the
door, he takes the coins by handfuls and
scatters them broadcast around the floor.
few of those which remain in plan sight
he puts into his pockets. When they are
spent he picks up a few more, and so on,
as necessity requires. After a week or so
has passed he is compelled to hunt about
pretty sharply for the cash, and the last
day of the fortnight finds him grubbing
under the washstand and bureau, poking
beneath the bed and squirting down the
register in the hope of discovering a stray
half dollar that had eluded previous search
But, though occasionally impoverished,
he is seldom reduced to absolute penniless-

Remarkable Georgia Papers.

The remarkable newspapers OF Georgia
which have been so vigorously laboring to
make the Democratic party accept popu-
list principles are now agitated by the in
crease of pOpulist strength in their state.
The difficulty with several of the leading
Georgia dailies is that they regard party

designed to adopt and use any fad or

= Matter That Needs Attention.

A communication published in another
column % this issue of the Morning
News deals with a matter that should
have thu immediate attention OF the
county commissioners. The matter IN
question Is the lack OF drainage in parts
Of the county contiguous TO the Isle OF
Hope, Montgomery, Bethesda and White
Bluff. This has been a wet summer, and
owing TO the fact that drains have be-
come choked for one reason and another,
but mainly for the reason that cattle
have pushed the soil into them in their
efforts to get water or in crossing them.
there is no way in which the water can
get OF the 1owIands which they drain.
The effects of this standing and stag
nant water are beginning TO show them
selves in malariai troubles. and the peo-
pie who live near these malaria breeding
lowlands are complaining that the drain
age of these lands has been neglected.
When part Of the convict force was
sent to dig bitches on Tybee Island
bitches that viii be filled with sand by
the storms of the coming winter-and
utilized in building a rife range. the
Morning News protested against dlvert-
ing any part of the force from the
drainage works. 1t pointed out that little
or no good could be done by digging
bitches on Tybee Island, that nearly all
the people would leave the Island be-
fore the beginning of the malarial sea-
chain-gang at work there was practi-
cally to waste the public money. 1t also
pointed out that to build a rife range
was no part of the cOunty's business,
but that if the county undertook 20 do
the work a season for doing it should
could be better spared from the drainage
work. The rifle range, that was to be
finished in a month, has occupied, so it
is said, one-fourth of the entire chain
gang force fully four months.
The time when the work at Tybee and
on the rife range was begun was the
time when the whole force at the disposal
of the county should have been occupied
in opening drains that would protect the
health of the city and the suburban re-
sorts. At least that is our opinion of
the matter, and the complaints that are
now being made justify us in assuming
that that opinion is correct
We believe that no time should be lost
in opening the drains in the vicinity of
the suburban places whose residents are
fearful that the effect of the September
sun on the undrained lowlands in their
vicinity win be sickness OF a serious
character. 1t is said the drains can be
opened in few days if the whole con-
Wet force is put upon them. That being
the case, it seems to us that the wiser
course would be to suspend other work
temporarily and do the work which is
needed for the protection of the suburban
places, "

The Small Boy Writes of bones.

Bones are the framework of the human
body, quotes the San Francisco Impress.
If had no bones in me / should not have
so much shape as l have now. If / had no
motion as 1 have now, and grandma would
be glad, but l like to have motion. Bones
give me motion because they are some
thing hard for motion to cling to. If /
had no bones my brains, lungs, head
and larger blood vessels would be lying
around in me sort of loose-like and might
get hurted, but now the bones get hurt
ed, but not much lest IL is hard hit. If
my bones were burned l should be all
brittle and you could crumble me up be-
cause all the animal would be out of me-
If l was soaked in a kind of acid l would
be Timber. Teacher showed US some bones
that had been soaked. l could tie a knot
In one. had rather be soaked than burn
ed. Some Of my bones don't grow snug
to my other bones like the branches Of
tree do and m glad they don't, for if
they did / couldn't play leap-frog and
other good games l know. The reason
they don't grow that way is because they
have Joints.
Joints is good things to have in bones.
There are three kinds. The ball and SOCK
ct joint is like my shoulder joint. Teacher
showed 1t to us, only 1t was the thigh of
cow. One end was round and smooth
and whitish; that is the ball end. The
other end is the socket. 1t is saucer
like and oils itself. Another joint is the
hinge joint, like my elbow. 1t swings
back and forth, oiling itself, and never
creaks like the schoOl-room door does.
The other joint amt much of joint. It's
in the skull and don't have no motion.
All of my bones put together in their
right places make a skeleton. Crippled
and defOrmed people don't have no skele-
tons. Some animals have their skeletons
on the outside. I'm glad amt them ami
mails, for my skeleton like it is on the
chart wouldn't look well on the outside.

The Public BuiIdinr.

In our Washington dispatches last Sat
urday it was stated that the opinion pre-
vailed in the treasury department that if
the Savannah public building were con-
structed of Georgia marble there would
still be enough of the appropriation re-
naming TO finish the building. In view of
the fact that the bid of the Atlanta firm
to construct the building of brick and
granite for $4,000 has been accepted, the
question of using marble was either not
considered or it was found on further in
vestigationsthat the appropriation was not
sufficient to permit the use Of marble.
A Milwaukee firm offered to construct
the building of marble for a little less
than $4,000.
We do not know how much of the appro-
priation remains unexpended. Would it not
be advisable 10 inquire Of the Secretary of
the Treasury whether it would not be pos
sible to construct the building of marble
and still have enough Of the appropria-
ton left to finish it?
When the supervising architect was here
he said the building would be built of
marble IL II were possible 10 40 SO WITHIN
the limits of the appropriation. In view
of that statement why not ask him what
amount of money would remain on hand
If the lowest marble bid were accepted?
If we are not mistaken the supervising
architect was not well informed as to the
exact amount of the appropriation until
Representative Lester called his attention
to it. He had entirely overlooked an ad-
ditional appropriation that had been made.
May it not be possible that the Secretary
of the Treasury has also overlooked this
additional appropriation?
1t is hardly probable that a very great
effort would be made to have the build
ing constructed of marble if the appropri-
alton is not sufficient for that purpose,
because the citizens OF Savannah would
not care to wait and see whether congress
would make an additoal appropriation for
the building, the construction OF which
has already been greatly delayed, but If
the present appropriation would admit of
marble structure 1t is certain they would
like to have 1t.

It turns out that the slump in the tax
returns of this state is only little more
than half what was estimated it would
be. If that Atlanta grand jury which took
upon itself the responsibility of suggest
ing that owing TO the hard times the peo-
pie ought to be permitted to place low
er valuation upon their property had con-
fined it's efforts to it's legitimate duties
the probabilities are there would have
been no slump whatever. Its suggestion
no doubt put it into the minds of many
people that there was going to be a pref
ty general lowering of values for taxa
BILE purposes, and they acted upon that
view in making returns of their property.
AS a matter of fact there is a great
deal more property in Georgia than there
was a year ago, and we are satisfied that
If il was possible to offer it at a forced
sale it would bring much more than it
would have brought at like sale year
ago. In quite a number of counties the
amount returned for taxation this year
was greater than the amount returned
last year, and yet in these counties there
were no reasons for an increased amount
of taxable property that do not exist in
many other counties.
If the present cotton crop is marketed
at cents a pound, or more people will
not feel so poor next year, and there
will be very considerable increase in
the amount of the tax returns.

what was once an old cotton plantation
of 800 acres. In the winter of 1912 100. 900
peach trees were planted on it, This year
the crop has been so heavy that the mere
cost of marketing it has reached $4,000.
1t is stated in a southern contemporary
that freight and other expenses of put
ting the fruit on the market reach $500 a

are frequently almost as scarce In New
