Probably the most pungent point about
Secretary Shermans alleged interview
upon the seal question which has set the
London newspaper editors to saying sharp
and unpleasant things about him, is
that he denies emphaticaUy having given
any such interview The original publi-
cation was in the New York World There
is, therefore, an issue between the Secre-
tary Of State and that newspaper.
Whatever may be the merits of that ls-
sue. it is undenable that somebody is
getting great deal Of fun out Of Mr..
Sherman's administration of the state de-
partment. 1t may be the secretary him
self or it may be the newspapers which
are, from time to time. quoting spicy all
legged interviews with him, but il evidently
is not the minister from Japan or the min
lister from Spain. or the min
lister from Great Britain, who
is having the fun. These
foreigners hardly appreciate that pecu-
liar style of American humor which is
involved. They have been taught TO re-
gard diplomacy and journalistic duty TO
the public as quite serious matters They
have not learned the fine points Of putt
ting political opponent Unto "a hole" as
20 is sometimes pracuced in this country.
They do not understand what pleasure
IL gives an American politician to "twlst
the Hons tail" or otherwise stir up the
animals. and then slip TO one side. As
far as American readers are concerned
they have grown somewhat accustomed
to humorous oddities In Journalism and
diplomacy

Went Like Hot Cakes.

An ex-member of the legislature had a
very large stock of state agricultural re-
ports in gOod-szed volumes piled up IN
his law office, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. 1t is a nice new office on Supe-
rior street, and his associates in the pro-
fession who occupy the same apartment
considered the books a good deal of an
eyesore. The eX-member himself is no
longer an active tenant of the room, hav-
ing been elected TO a highly honorable po-
sition, and So in his absence one of the
associates, determined to dispose of the
books in the simplest manner known,
aside from total destruction. In short,
he determined to give them away.
Even that method he was afraid might
be a little difficult to carry out, but he
went to a nelghboring tenant. who is
clever with the marking brush and said:
Wont you kindly fix me some kind
of a card that will attract attention to a
lot of agricultural reports l want to give
away? Something sort O. startling. In

"All right" said the neighbor, and at
once set TO work.
In a few minutes he had a card ready.

esque capital letters, and this is the way

The lawyer was pleased with this work
of art. lie loaded the Office boy with vol
umes. and put the card on top. Then
the boy went down the stairs ana laid the
books along the curb with the card lean
ing against the pile. As he started up
stairs for another load. he noticed that a
small crowd was gathering When he
reached the sidewalk with a second load
there wasn't a book left of the original
lot. The card was lying on the walk.
and perhaps twenty people were staring
al it. As he advanced a number OF them
grabbed the books before he could lay
them down. They met him al the foot Of
the stairs when he appeared with the
third load and a swaying mass OF eager
loiterers pressed forward for more. They
were on the stairs waiting for him when
he brought the fourth load. and over the
heads OF the crowd he could see people
running from various directions 90 find

books were soon gone and even the card
went too

Now Is the Time.

The toll roads of Chatham are a bar to
the county's growth. While they have in
the past been the means of giving the
people the only highways in the county
over which it was either a pleasure or
a profit to travel. they have had their
day, and the people demand. now that
they can be made free highways at nom
inal cost. that the county authorities de-
lay no longer i'm buying them. The sum
of $4,000 asked by the owners of the
roads for their properties is a mere bag
atelle compared with the good which
would accrue to the city and county by
abolishing the toll gates from the Thun-
derbolt and White Bluff shell roads
These toll gates now separate the country
from the city. While the county commits
sioners were looking for the petition ask
ing that a new road be built to Thunder
bolt. they doubtless found that presented
by the people living on the White Bluff
she'll road asking that that road be
bought 10y the county and made a pub
lie highway. The signers of that paper
are mostly people who live or do BUSH
ness on the White Bluff road. or who live
at Rosedew. White Bluff. Jacksonville or
other settlements on the line of the road.
They are compelled to pay toll every day
while comparatively small sum would
relieve them of that tax. They should
be placed on the same footing with other
taxpayers.
II IL possible that through the expen-
diures OF large sums Of the peoples
money, and waiting for Ave or ten years
the two shell roads may be abandoned
by their owners and thus revert to the
public; but that is an indefinite and
costly process OF arriving at the result
that the people want.
Let the commissioners get together ana
see II three out Of the five members can
not control the county affairs Let the
majority make a long pull. a strong pun
and a pun an together for two or three
months and straightcn out the roads and
drainage questions. After that II a rest
is needed they can turn the county's
business over 70 the minority again.
