NEW PENSION COMMISSIONER.
Hon. John w. Lindsey Succeeds
Judge Richard johnson.

Atlanta, Nov. S>-Gov. Gambler this aft
ernoon appointed Hon. John W. Lindsey
of wilkinson county Pension Commission
er TO succeed Hon. Richard Johnson.
Cols Lindsey came to Atlanta this morn
ing and held a conference with the Gov
ernor, the outcome Of which was the
tender and acceptance of the position. Col.
Lindsey will take charge on Dec. 49, when
the term of the present commissioner ex-
pires.
The new appointee was Endorsed by many
of the Governors closest friends, includ-
ing one or more of his official household.
il was not the Governors original inten-
ton to appoint Col Lindsey until next
year. his purpose being 10 allow Judge
johnson to hold over till the LIST of April.
Judge johnson was asked some days back
to assent to this arrangement, but he de-
clined. He agreed, however, to hold till
July. His reason for this was that he
did not care to turn loose the duties be-
fore the complete payment of the pen
eions, which would begin in January. He
would have accomplished most of the
work by April l, but not all, and he told
the Governor he would hold on the condi-
ton that he be allowed to complete the
work begun by him. The Governor was
anxious for him to continue on till April
and then turn loose, but Judge Johnson
would have none of It, and at once began
arranging his affairs to turn over the Of
fee on Dec. 16, when his term of Office
expires
The Governor sent for Judge Johnson
again to-day and endeavored to get him
to agree to the arrangement to hold on IN
til April l. but the pension commissioner
was immovable and said il should be July
OF nothing. Then it was that Gov. Gambler
gave out the official announcement of the
appointment Judge johnson is making
preparations to build a cotton mill in Jones
county, near Clinton, the place of his resi-
dencA.

not of Roman but chiefly of Germanic or
tgin. In fact. what are now newspapers
are really only developments of a kind of
circulating letters, which, as early as the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, passed
between business houses principally in the
interests of trade.
These "Zeitungen,' or "Tldings," were
written but not printed. In the great CEN
tiers of population were found men who
made it their occupation to send out these
reports, usually in business houses, but
often also to political and other authori-
ties. OF the famous Fugger Zeitung
twenty-eight volumes are preserved in the
university library at Heidelberg. These
written circular letters both "ordinari''
and ''extraordinari," as occasion required,
became almost a regular institution as
the postal system became generally in
troduced. Probably the strangest thing in
connection with the history of Journalism
is the fact that 1t was exceedingly slow
to make use of the art of printing for
its purposes Indeed, almost the whole
sixteenth century had passed before this
innovation was thought of. although dur
ing the reformation period questions of
public prominence were brought before
the people in countless tracts, pamphlets
etc, often with Illustrations, but never in
the shape of regularly printed periodi-
cal.
AhN tAdiloillOil " tlllS stage was caused
by the publication in 1888 of the Relatio
Historical by Michael Won Aitzng of Co.
logne, the success of whose printed ac-
count of a Cologne church controversy
first suggested the idea of publishing ev-
cry sixth month, at the time of the
Frankfort Messe, a general report of the
news. This undertaking soon stimulated
rival enterprises. Niemann is convinced
that all efforts to deny to the Germans
the honor of having originated the mod
ern newspaper must fail in the light of
unprejudiced historical research The
Oldest venture of this kind, however, is
not as has been generally supposed the
Frankfort Journal but a certain relation
which appeared probably in Strasburg and
hfty-two numbers of which, dating from
the year 1903. are still found in Heidel-
berg. The journal was not published till
l6l5, the first English paper the Weekly
News, in 1922. and the first French jour
nal in 1880.

ROTATION OF THE SUN.
Speed With Which 1t Turns Deter
mined With a SpectrOscOpe.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Only a short time ago we were told
that the spectroscope had revealed the ex-
istence of two dark bodies crcling round
the North Star. The latest reported per-
Torrance of this exceedingly versatile lit
tie instrument is the determination of the
rate of speed with which the sun turns
upon its axis.
The two feats were performed in sub
stantlally the same way, the same prin-
ciple being involved in each case, which
Is this The spectrum of the sun and those
of the stars-the rainbow-like bands into
which the light is dispersed by the prisms
of the spectroscope-are crossed by dark
lines, thousands in the case of the sun,
and hundreds in the cases of the brighter
stars These lines all have their fixed, or
normal, positions so long as the light
source is in state of rest. But, let the
light source, the star, for example, move
toward or from the observer, and all the
lines of Its spectrum are shifted slightly
toward the violet end If the star is APP
preaching; toward the red end If it is re-
ceding. Slight as the shift Is, 1t can be
measured upon a photographed spectrum
with such accuracy that the rate of the
movement of a star Sin line of sight" can

be determined to within less than a mile
a second.
Since the sun turns upon its axis, like
the earth, and in the same direction, points
on its eastern limb are always moving to-
ward us, while those on its western limb
are always moving from US A spectrum
formed by light coming from the suns
eastern limb will, therefore, not match ex-
actly one formed by light coming from
the western limb In each case the lines
will be shifted, but in opposite directions.
1t requires no great amount of ingenuity
10 arrange a spectroscope in such q way
that these two spectra can be photo
graphed simultaneously, one directly above
the other and the amount of the shift of
the lines can then be measured.
All this is easier said than done, of
course; but it can be done by a skilled
and persistent observer, and has been done
by Prof. Duner, whose observations ex-
tended over a period of two years They
have been worked out-"discussed," as the
technical term is-by Herr c. A Schultz
Steinheil, of the Lund observatory. who
has arrived at the following results. to
give them in a shape Ineligible to I'M
scientific readers:
Herr Steinheil finds that the sun rotates
so that point on its equator moves with
a uniform velocity OF 1,275 miles per seq
ond, in plane which is inclined is. 70 de-
grees to the plane of the earth's orbit. and
which intersects the earth's orbit at two
points at which the earth arrives annu-
ally about April II and Oct. q. respect
lively. These results differ considerably
from those which have been obtained from
observations of sun spots, except the de-
termination of the rate of rotation. which
is, perhaps, quite as reliable as any which
has heretofore been made. and is full of
promise of what may yet be done with
the spectroscope toward determining the
periods of rotation of the planets Mercury
and Venus, which are still in dispute.

GOVERNOR MAKES YTATEMENT.

Gives His Reason for Holding Up
NOrwOOd's Nomination.
Atlanta, Nov. S.-Gov. Gambler reitera-

Bignon, but said he did not mean 10 imply
by this statement that Mr.. duBignon was
opposed to Judge Norwood. He said Mr..

NORTH CAROLINA DEFEATED.
Tigers WaIIoped Them, But the
Game Went Very Slow.

Tigers NalIOpeO Ihem, nut the
Game Went Very Slow.
Princeton, N. j., Nov. s.-The Tigers de-
feated the University of North Carolina
here to-day by score of 80 to 0. The
game was slow. and neither team put up
noticeably strong work.
In the first half Princeton punctured the
North Carolina line with little difficulty,
and made several end runs for good gains.
Maths, Palmer and McCord scored. The
Southern boys took a brace in the second
half and Princeton was held three times
on downs. Several changes were made
in the Tigers eleven in this half. MATHS
and Knight scored a touchdown.
The feature of the game was a 50-yard
run by Palmer. Shull put up the best
game for North Carolina. Princeton lost
ground five times on off side plays ana
did not get into plays fast enough. I'm
less the team braces up it is thought the
Tigers may suffer defeat when they meet
the Indians on Saturday.
