Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore. Okla,

him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate

he could open his mouth just wide

ms BIRTH AND GROWTH.

Just five months ago the daily papers
chronicled the fact that there had ar
rived in the city a man of medicine who
made claims that he could perform cures
of what seemed to be a wonderful ma
ture and would take for a short time I'M
der treatment free of charge some of the
most difficult cases. The people of Sa-
vannah viewed these statements with sus-
picion, and for the first few days after
his office in the Provident building was
opened but few patients responded Dur
ing the first week, however, there an
piled for treatment a patient who for
months had been quietly waiting death
malignant type of disease which had ar
fiicted him for many years Prominenr
physicians had told him no cure couId h..
made, and but little relief could be ex
pected until death and its repose took
charge of his case. Still with that feel
ing like unto a drowning man who
clutches a floating straw with the hone
that his body may be supported by if IN
til he is saved, this man with lust sucb
a forlorn feeling of hope visited Abbr,
and placed himself in his hands Abbo
with his experience and years of study
and learning, saw that it was a most diff
hcult case, but Immediately differed with
the other physicians inasmuch as he felt
that with the rapid strides made in med
icine and surgery such an affiiction as THE
one should not go unhealed With this
determination he took the case and in less
than month the patient was pronounced
a cured man and was able to do labor
that he was incapacitated from accom-
plishing for several years

cles is the kind of man to be success
as a legislator. So in municipal affairs
for brains, experience and daily thought
given to business is better than the per-
functory performance by aldermen who
give a few hours to their municipal bust
ness There is no pay, and really no great
incentive to much mental labor. Patriot
ism. self-neglectIng working for others
may sound very WELL but after all, II Is
against human nature. Men must and
should have an incentive for action.
COMMISSIONERS MAYOR.
Those commissioners who receive pay
for their services are expected to do their
duty fairly, wisely and well. They should
have experience, training and observa-
ton. and that can only come by strict
and daily attention to their business. Lake
all other business, there must be con-
tinuous thought in a certain line. one
and two years are really no test as to
whether law Is good, bad or Indifferent.
Suggestions grow daily, errors are seen,
mssteps corrected and familiarity with
business all important. Laws can be
amended without being repealed.
The mayor Of our city should by all
means, lay before the citizens what the
commissioners have done Give a state
ment as to all expenses. and show, If II
can be, that the commissioners have been
a saving of expense to the city. That they
have earned their salary and by their
judgment put money into the treasury.
That can be shown easily enough If such
has been done. Your writer rather thinks
the commissioners the best policy for the
city The aldermanic policy was sporadic
and perfunctory, and necessarily so, when
new men were put in as aldermen stran-
gers to the business they had to handle.
They had to learn, and by the time they
did learn, We're turned out and new men
put in, and nine times out Of ten, all for
the "spoils Of office" by those who sought
the place.
What fools men do make of themselves
to be worked up by some party faction,
lean and hungry for office, to put a good
man out, who understands his business.
to put one in who knows but little about
duties he will assume Let the same good
sense be observed in voting as one carries
into his private business. If the commits
sioners are an unnecessary expense, of no
good to the city, or incompetent, turn them
out and abolish the offices. If the mayor
is a failure, and 1t can be so shown, turn
him out and put in a better man. But let
wisdom, Justice and moderation govern in
the next election. Ignore the negro vote
entirely. Let the negro vote but do not
buy or corrupt him. Do away with work
ers, heelers and all such nulsances.

Take Notice Commissioners.

Editor Morning News: Notice has been
given the citizens of Savannah that bills
will be introduced in the coming legisla-
ture to repeal the laws creating commits
sioners for the city. The notice is all rig mt,
but It is for the citizens to say II it Will
be wise and prudent policy. All legis.a-
ton is but experimental at best, for no
one knows exactly how law will WORK
until fully and fairly tried. 1t is easy
enough to theorise, to assume, to predict
but a thing must be given a fair triai
to see If there is any defect anywhere
That something was needed better than
the old plan Of aldermanic overseership
there can be no doubt. Legislation -
really a science, and 1t requires a man or
talent, of broad views, a grasp OF details
and clear perceptions TO be a first-class
legislator. Your writer speaks from an
observation Of twenty years experience
with Georgia legislators. Men, like chill
dren, learn from study and observation.
Because man has been a success In
life in making money, II Is no sign by a
good deal that he is fit for a legislator OF
any kind, either state Of municipal. II re-
quires but two well developed organs in
a mans head to be a success as to mere
money making. Large acquisitiveness and
close calculation, with a conscience and
put money in his pocket. That man IL
very much of a fool who having devoted
ten, twenty and thirty years to a busf-
ness and not made a success OF UNDER
standing It, declares that he made a mis-
take In his calling. His brain and his
business did not work together DO not
think, then, because a man Is a success
that he is fit for any or everything out of
the rut of his daily thoughts. He mpst
be a man OF talent to get out OF his rut
Of thought. One who can adjust himself
easily and quickly to new situations ana
new thoughts man who Is failure al
everything ] do not consider.
Then, again, many imagine that law
years are the best men for legislators.
because many times they have the gift
of talk. Great mistake; have seen time
and again lawyers IN the legislature who
would talk hour after hour, flooding the
Senate and House with a diarrhoea of
words, and was all the time explaining
their explanations. At the bar they as
lawyers, were in their element, for they
knew law, but little else. What great
failures lawyers have been as national
and state legislators. Too much talk
weakens any cause. As Jefferson said,
"They question everything. yield nothing
and talk by the hour"
Practical common sense, broad ideas ana
a ouickness TO grasp new ideas or poll
