The Atlanta Constitution probably did
an unintentional unkindness to Gov. At

Neither should they be separated when

Antitrust and anti-high hat bills are in
great favor this winter There is probably
not a Legislature in session but has had or
will have. before adjournment, bills of the
kind under consideration. The Massachu-
setts legislature the other day had pre-
scented to it no less than six antitrust bills
during one sitting. One of these bills pro-
posed to prohibit corporations other than
banks from owning or holding stocks or
bonds of other corporations engaged in a
similar business. That is about as dig
gins" as any antitrust bill yet proposed.

Unless there is cool ana careful man
agement when the legislature reassenbles
next Wednesday to hear the report Of the
committee appointed to investigate the
charges made by Senator Carter against
two of the judges, a debate will be brought
on that may last several days and cost
the state good deal Of money. Mr..
Chester Pearce, member of the investi-
eating committee, has written a letter
in which he replies to some statements
made by Mr.. Tom Watson relative to the
finding Of the committee, and says that if
Senator Carter and his friends are not
satisfied with that finding let them ask
the House to disagree to it and prefer
articles of Impeachment against the
judges.
We do not know whether or not Senator
Carter and his friends think the test-
mony that was given during the investi-
cation is sufficient to justify the inn
peaching of the judges, but we do know
that the very general opinion is that it is
not sufficient. We have no doubt that the
House will adopt the report of the COM
mittee but Senator Carter may have
enough friends among the representatives
to force a discussion of the testimony,
and thus prolong the session.
If an effort is made to have the House
reject the report OF the investigating COM
mittee and prefer articles Of Impeachment
it will be generally understood to be for
political purposes. 1t may be that it is
in accordance with the plans of the pop
ulist leaders to try and create the im-
preston that the democrats are shielding
the judges, simply because the judges
are democrats. We don't like TO believe,
however, that any fair-minded populist
would attempt to destroy the regulations
of the judges and put the state to
heavy expense merely for the sake of try
ing to gain political advantage.

MAKING PLATE GLASS.
An Operation That Requires n Deal Of
Skill and Care.


A visit to a plate glass works reveals
nothing perhaps more interesting than the
casting tables on which the heavy plate
glass used in most store windows is cast.
The casting tables" said the superintend-
emit of large New York plate glass fac
tory to Star reporter recently, ARE the
most important pieces of apparatus in this
establishment. Each table is about 20 feet
long, 10 feet wide and from to S inches
thick. The heavy strips of iron on either
side of the tables afford a bearing for the
rollers and determine the thickness or
diameter of the glass to be cast.
The rough plate is commonly nine-six-
teenths of an inch thick, but after polish
ing 1t is reduced to six or seven-sixteenths
All casting tables are mounted on wheels
Which run on a track made to reach every
furnace and annealing oven in the factory
The table having been wheeled as near as
possible to the melting furnace, a pot of
moulten glass is lifted by means of a crane
ana It's contents poured quickly out on the
table. A heavy iron roller then passes from
shd 10 END, spreading the glass to uni
form thickness. This rolling operation has
10 De done by expert hands quickly as the
boiling glass. when il comes in contact
with the cold metal of the table cools very
rapidly. When the rolling process has
been completed, the door of the annealing
oven is opened and the plate of glass is in
troduced. The floor of the annealiny oven
is on the same level as the wheels of the
casting table, so that the transfer can be
made by rail quickly. When the glass is
ready to be taken out of the oven its sur
lace is very rough. In this condition il is

where strength is desired rather than
transparency But when intended for win
dows 1t is ground, smoothed and polished

What makes life worth living is learning;
Each morning We seek for the mite

For. day with its splendor, alas. is no more

Mid the shadows the record We turn to ex-

And measure our deeds by our hoping.
And often turn on my pillow
And toss, as I struggle to clasp

The Deacon Also Thought 1t n Good
Thing In Sermons.
Among the very many good and excellent
people who reside in the quaint and delight
full old town of Alexandria, Va, is a dea-
con, who, Notwithstanding his great piety.
Is man of practical common sense and be-
lieves i'll the expediency of things, Just as
some Of his illustrious predecessors in
Testament times did. Among those things
which he considers of especial commenda-
tion Is brevity in sermons, and the minister
OF the church at which the deacon attended
was always known as a short-sermon man,
and his congregation was always cores
pondingly long.
On one occasion it is narrated that the
deacon, when the church last needed a
pastor, went to a theological seminary of
the proper denomination to hear some of
the young men preach, If so be among them
might be one who would find favor in the
deacons sight. 1t being some extra service
of the church, there was preaching on Sat
urday and Sunday, and the deacon had an
opportunity to hear several sermons. sun
day evening at tea the president of the
seminary asked the deacon what he
thought of the sermons he had heard.
"Um-er-um." hesitated the deacon at

"Is that sol? responded the Deacon with

Indeed 1t u.s." said the president.
Then, doctor, smiled the deacon, "sup-
rcse you let me hear tonight one OF your
sitting down young preachers. I think
that's what I'm looking for.
The president understood and the young
man who preached that night became pas

Its pulpit ten years later for wider field.
