THE STORM DAMAGE.

No reliable estimate of the damage
caused by the two storms which have Wis
tied the southern part of Georgia, par
ticularly the coast section, this fan has
yet been made, and it is not probable that
one win be made that will be at all sat
isfactory. In fact, it is not possible to
make an approximately correct estimate,
because of the immense territory covered
by the storm and the great variety of
property destroyed.
Estimates vary as to the amount OF dam
age that was done to the cotton. The
chief reason is that the damage in some
localities was much greater than in others.
Each one who makes an estimate is guild
ed by what he sees in the territory within
the scope of his observation. The same
thing is true in respect to naval stores.
Some of the turpentine farms were almost
wholly destroyed while others suffered
very slight damage The great majority
of them that were In the track Of the
storm, 1t is safe to say, were damaged
from ten TO fifty per cent.-that is, from
ten to fifty per cent. of the trees on them
were blown 10 the ground. But there is
no reliable data as to what percentage of
the turpentne forests was struck by the
storm. The lumbermen were hit pretty
badly in many localities, but they have
not so much TO complain of as The tur-
pentine farmers.
Probably the rice planters are the great
est sufferers py the storm. They lost pref
ty nearly their entire rice crops The
outlook was bad enough for them after
the first storm. but the second storm com
ple;ed the ruin of the rice yet in the fields
and all of It was there except the little
that was saved just before the second
storm came. In addition to the losses
which the farmers. turpentine operators
and mill men suffered there were heavy
losses in towns and villages and by the
shipping interest The losses from the
storm will be felt through all that part
of the state where 1t was most severe for
long time Many of the sufferers could
i'll afford the damage inflicted on them.
and 1t will take them good while to get
into fairly comfortable circumstances
again.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

The Atlanta Constitution opposed Mr.
Woodward, the successful candidate for
Mayor of Atlanta. In the course of it's
comments on Mr.. Woodward's
success It said: I'm the con-
test against him nothing has
been said by the Constitution rejecting
upon his character as a man or his SER
vices as a good citizen. There has been
no personal acrimony no bitterness, no
mud singing"
Was there any ground on which Mr..
Woodward could be justly attacked or
anything in his public or private life that
would have justified. in any degree what
ever, mud-slinging campaign against
him? If not, why did the Constitution
commend itself for dealing with him de-
Gently and fairly?
We ask this question for two reasons.
The first is that understanding Mr.. Wood
ward to be a good man and every way
worthy of the honor which has been con-
fered upon him, we do not see the per
tnency of the Constitutions remarks.
which we have quoted The other rea-
son Is that we cannot understand the
wisdom of the policy of attempting to
lower the esteem in which a political op-
ponent is held by saying and printing
things about him which are not true, and
which are known to be untrue by those
who originate and circulate them-in other
words, by carrying on a mud-slinging
campaign against him. The people are
not deceived. A few are amused and
pleased.
No good comes from campaigns of that
kind. On the contrary, much evil results
from them. It is a source of satisfaction
to all who have regard for clean politics
that the mayoralty campaign in Atlanta.
although a heated one was kept on a
high plane so far as the newspapers were
concerned. There is no good reason why
newspapers should abuse and SANDER can
didates Of the opposition, or permit them
selves to be used for such a purpose.

Best Time to Kick a Man.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly to-
ward themselves and the rest of humanity.
says the Chicago Times-Herald. Just as
they reached the middle of crossing one
of those aggravadng individuals who walk
one way and look another stepped direct
ly in front of a cable car which was
rounding the corner. OF course, the car
had no fender on it Nearly everybody in
the vicinity yelled, and naturally the be-
wildered map looked in the wrong diree-
ton.
Quirk didn't ven, though. He jumped
to the side of the track, grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way OF an express wagon,
and getting him at proper range at the
same time, he gave the poor man a kick
that must have driven his spine up into
his hat. And with the kick Quirk roared
"Confound you keep your eyes open
when you are on the street.
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but
Perk tottered to the curb, sat down and
laughed until the tears came. Then he
said:
You are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save mans life and then kick
him for It"

ceremonial where he was to be presented
to the King. His knowledge of languages
was limited to English and French and

In his own tongue he took pains to coach"
for the occasion. Several phrases were
rehearsed until he felt that he had mas
tered them. When the critical moment
arrived he saluted the King with great
dignity, spoke a few words in Spanish
and passed on.
What did you eay?" asked an English
gentleman. Il spoke In Spanish" was
the reply. Il said I cast myself at vour

diplomat. With twinkle in his eve the

The woman, who was a brurette and evi-

old, was accompanied BY two other women
and a man They had been dining in

to the Il" station in Eighth avenue.
AS they reached the corner the girl, whose
hearty laughter had attracted attention

with dark eyes and mustache-a handsome

Leaving her companions. the girl ran up

kiss him "a la Hobson." Startled by the re-
quest, the captain flushed deeply and slg-
gssted that ne had not The honor Of her
acquaintance, but ne removed MS hat and
bowed courteously.
"Oh, that's all right" exclaimed the
young woman, laughing merrily. whats

The young petitioner raised her eyes
supplicatingly 10 the bashfui man IN the
uniform. Her women friends begged her 10
so along with them.

she said positively.

Policeman Gallagher, of the West One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station,
who stood on the corner with Policeman
W ilham' Thornton, and Witnessed the
young woman's osculatory efforts, walked
over to the pair and ordered the woman

pressing another fervent kiss on the sol

The officer succeeded in extrica ing him

springing on passing car, made his es-

Waving a final kiss to him, the woman
brushed past the policeman, and, ascend

DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE.

Don't ask for the repeal of the laws
creating the city commissions simply be
cause they are the work Of an opposing
political faction. Don't ask for their re-
peal with the hope OF injurlng that fac
ton. II the repeal Of any one OF all OF
these laws is contemplated let
reasons be given for their re-
peal reasons that will appeal to the
judgment and common sense Of the peo-
pie. II such reasons cannot be given, bet
ter let them alone. The people will not
approve their repeal unless shown that
the city's interests would be better served
without them.
We said some time ago that there was
some good in the commissions. but that
they ought to be subordinate to the Coun-
ell. II We are not mistaken Alderman
Duncan was the first to give expression
to this opinion in the public prints. A
commissioner should not be required to re-
sign because he belongs to a political fac
ton different from that to which the city
administration belongs. but he ought to be
In accord with the administrative policy
of the Mayor and Council. If he cannot
act in harmony with their policy he ought
to resign.
Good commissions can do the city great
deal OF service. They must be composed
Of men, however, who are jealous for the
public good-not men who are ready TO
sacrifice the public interests for the ben
eft of a political faction. 1t might be well
for our members of the legislature to find
out what the Mayor and aldermen and
some representative citizens think Of the
commissions. II is easy to make a mis-
take about the matter. A mistake is GER
tain to be made if political feeling rather
than the public welfare is allowed to de-
eide the question as to whether the com
mission laws shall be repealed or not.
