The work in Buckhater swamp is being
pushed with all of the vigor and force that
the county commissioners have at their
command; yet, according to what Commits
sioner Kehoe says, it is being prosecuted
without plans or estimates. the only data
that the commissioners have being the
prohles made by ex-County Engineer
Blandford The Buckhalter canal, as it
is being constructed, is simply big ditch,
the dirt being piled up on each side of the
excavation. where it vii. be washed back
into the cutting by every rain.
No such rough work as this appears TO
be can be extended so as to afford a per-
manent drainage system for any great
area. If, as is alleged, the construction OF
a canal in Buckhalter swamp viii drain
the lowlands near the city-which claim is
disputed by the best engineering authorl-
ties-then the work should be done at least
as wen as that at the lower section of The
Casey or Cuyler swamp canal. so that it
viii be permanent. The Morning News
has called attention to the probable cost
Of the Buckhalter swamp canal and urged
objections TO that work being undertaken
at this time, but it supposed all along that
the possible expenditure Of so large a sum
Of public money would not even be con-
templated without the adoption Of scien-
title plans, and would certainly not be
begun without some definite idea on the
part OF the commissioners with regard TO
the ultimate cost TO the taxpayers.
Commissioner Kehoes stand with regard
TO this matter should satisfy the people
that the Buekhalter drainage should be
left until some future time, and that in
the meantime definite plans for perma-
neat system OF county drainage and de-
tailed estimate OF the cost of the work
should be made. II a canal in Buckhaiter
swamp is necessary, the one built should
be one that will endure for years. ard not

Our Atlanta correspondence directs at
tention to a matter which we, in common
with other newspapers Of the state. have
often commented upon, but which the
people, or, rather. their representatives in
the legislature. do not seem 10 properly
appreciate We refer TO the constant in
crease H. public expenditures The ap-
preaching session of the legislature, it
is stated. will have some difficult finan-
cial problems to wrestle with" with the
prospect in view that the tax rate will
have to be considerably increased in or
der to meet obligations to which the state
is already actually or morally pledged
1t is TO be expected that the sum total
of public expenditures of a great and pro-
gressive state like Georgia win be more
every year. 1t is desirable that such
should be the case. But, while the total
Is expanding, the tax rate should not grow
greater. As the states population and
wealth increase ana the expenditures
grow heavier. the tax rate should be d.
mlnished j should never he raised. ex-
cept under stress Of extraordinary
circumstances.
that our legislators are too willing to
spend the public money, or to commit the
state to expenditures which should not be
made under existing circumstances. The
pension scheme is case in point There
is no objection to be urged against pen
sions where there are funds available, but
Georgia has no means of raising pension
F44y az Itr ct "a 81
Is now burdened with a pension .expen-
diture Of more than "a quarter Of a MILL
ion of dollars. and there is no telling whore
the matter will stop. Georgia cannot
make flesh of one lot Of old soldiers and
fish of another. All having similar claims
upon the largess Of the treasury under
the law must be treated alike. 1t was the
opinion of eminent statesmen twenty-odd
years ago, when the national pension
budget amounted to 100000 year, that
the high-water mark had about been
reached yet the government is now pay
ing $40 10000 year in pensions. and the
list is stiI growing larger. Something Of
the sort will inevitably occur under the
Georgia laws unless safeguards are adopt
ed. We are not opposed to the policy Of
state aid to the old soldiers, but we are
opposed to the adoption of a vague in
definite pension policy which will lead
nobody knows where, and viii involve
constantly increasing appropriations and
higher tax rates
The pension matter, however, is not the
only one which might be used as an il
lustration. We have an idea that if some
of the investigators now in the field ex-
aiming board bills and shipping tag
charges, and proposing to play checkers
with some of the schools of the state,
would exert their talents in the line of
discouraging excessive and new appropri-
ations, and the spending of public money
for political purposes, the commonwealth
would be the gamer thereby.

A little incident which was not on the
programme occurred at one of the seances
at the Spiritualists' camp meeting in the
midway few evenings since says the
Minneapolis Journal. According to the
bills, what is called a naturalization was
due to take place the evening in question.
Quite a large audience had assembled 10
witness the appearance of the ghostly Wis
itors engaged by the management for the
occasion and promptly on time mysteri-
ously arrayed and sinuous forms We're
seen to pass to and fro on the platform
and up and down the aisles of the large
tent, which, except for the mysterious
light emitted by the spirit forms. was in
total darkness. This thrilling scene had
continued but few minutes when a wo-
man of inquiring mind sitting next the
aisle. taking a long hatpin from her hat
gave it vicious thrust into the leg of a
passing ghost.
The result was totally unexpected.
"D-n YOU" Kissed he materalized spir-
il in a way that made the blood of the
offender CONCEAL in her veins, as the spirit
form gided down the aisle.
The investigator affirms that after her
blood had thawed out and she was in a
condition to think over the episode calmly
she became convinced that either the hab-
its Of thought and expression of the spirit
land were very similar TO those OF earth
or else this particular materialized spirit
was material by a large majority.

1T is extremely difficult sometimes to
tell when an insane patients restoration
TO health is complete" recently remarked
Or. H. ]. Brooks, who for many years
was in charge of the Elgin asylum, ac-
cording to the Chicago Times Herald. 1T
not infrequently happens that patients
recovery apparently is a fact beyond ques-
ton, whereas in reality some hallucina-
ton so carefully concealed as to elude
even the closest medical scrutiny, is re-
tanned
Il recall a case which well illustrates
this point. One of our patients had a
hallucination that a neighbor had done
him a great injury, and his lunacy as
sumed a hOmicidal phase. After his in
generation in the asylum he regained his
health rapidly and soon apparently was
as well as ever. He was examined by the
physicians and was certified for release as
cured. Before this order was put into eff
feet, however, l decided to keep close
watch of him for awhile. l wanted espec-
tally to observe his actions when he
thought he was alone. One night I re-
moved a patient from the same ward in
which he slept and occupied the vacant
bed myself After midnight when the
ward was still and all the patients appar-
emily asleep, | saw the man I was watch
ing slip out of bed and after making sure,
as he thought that he was unobserved,
go over to a hot-air ventilation shaft in
the corner of the room. Bending down
close to the floor, he began speaking into
the ventilator holding an imaginary con-
versation with somebody up the shaft. 1t
was evident that he still had the hallucina-
ton of hearing mysterious voices.
-" Yes he said, / am going away to-
morrow. My folks are coming after me
and will take me home again What will
1 do then? Why, l shall visit with my
friends for awhile and rest and regain my
health. Then l will Kill the man who has
been the cause of all my troubles
ut is needless to add that that patient
was not released the next day, although
his family came for him. On the con-
trary he was kept in the asylum a year
and a half longer before he was discharg-
ed. And within three months thereafter
he murdered that neighbor as he had
planned"

one for the farmers. In almost every line

that the farmers are less in debt than

The proceeds from their crops, therefore,

years and they find 1t profitable.
