There are several whist clubs in Au-
gusta that hold regular meetings
through the winter, where it is Gus
tomary to assess the members small
sum of money for each meeting, the
proceeds generally going for one even
ing's entertainment at the end of the
season. The Journal is pleased to note
that as a general thing the clubs in
this city. this winter have devoted the
proceeds thus assessed to charitable
purposes: and it is understood it is
quite the thing among them to do SO
now and to deny themselves the pleas
ure of the wind-up meeting. ON Mon
day evening, one Of the clubs having
about so thus reserved voted to pur-
chase necessarics for the Children :
Home to the full amount Of the money
that had been saved.

MUCH NEEDED REFORM.
Star Ronte Contractors win BE Regu.
lated by the Department.

An order has been issued by Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger providing that no bid
submitted under an advertisement
hereafter issued for carrying the
mails on a star route or on screen
wagon route shall be considered I'M
less the bidder resides or agrees to
reside or or contiguous to the route
on which the service is to be per-
formed, and give his personal super
vision to the performance of the ser
vice.
The issuance of this order was
made necessary by the many failures
OF speculative contractors to perform
the service required by their con
tracts. During the five months end
ed January 81, 1900, the number OF
failures that required the employ
ment of temporary service amounted
to 89l This condition, the depart
ment believes, grows out OF the prac
tice of awarding contracts for carry
ing mail to the lowest bidders and
to the fact that the greater number
OF the contracts are obtained by
speculative contractors who live
hundreds Of miles away from the
routes on which the service is to be
performed. The postal officials say
these contractors send agents to the
route who sub-let the contracts to
irresponsible men and these fail to
perform the service properly. The
matter will doubtless be carried to
the courts, and the department Off
Gals believe that a legal decision
will be given before the next gen
eral advertisement which will be
issued next September. If the de
partment's position is sustained the
provisions of the new order will be
incorporated in all contracts award
ed at that time
General Shallenberger says the
law provides that these contracts
shall be awarded not to the lowest
bidder but to the "lowest bidder
rendering sufficient guarantee for
faithful performance" He considers
the personal supervision of the con
tractor as such a guarantee.

Would Repeal The BANKRUPT Act.

Congressman Dolliver has introduce

present bankrupt law, and has decid-
ed 10 make an untiring attempt To
have his bill passed. He is one of the
very ablest men in Congress, and a
tireless worker and says he will sue
iced. or the many arguments used
by him, we clip the following, aud
call the readers attention to IL:
1T is my conviction that system
ef bankruptcy is in itself worthless
aud injurious addition TO the machin-
cry OF modern business. On that ac-
count | have found it my duty to in
troduce into the House OF Representa-
tives bill to repeal the act of July
|, 1898. The things which | COM
plain of relate TO the principle inyol-
we'd, and not TO the details Of the
measure itself.
'sBut the bankruptcy law OF the
United States to- day presents stand
ing invitation to the young men OF
the United States, now free from debt
and about to embark In business, to
plunge into whatever speculation they
please, with the assurance that their
country stands ready to wipe out all
their obligations IL, at the end OF their
exploits. they have enough money left
TO file petition In bankruptcy.
Against such an infamy as that /

America. l cannot believe 1t posi-
BILE that the merchants OF the United
States, the clean and upright men who
manage our great affairs, are willing
for the doubtful advantage OF the
Federal election laws to thus corrupt
the very fountains Of the National
integrity. 1t Is one thing to wipe out
an old slate; 1T is another thing to put

ENERGETIC MEASURES.
Fruit Growers are Aroused Over Rava.
ges Of San Jose Scale.

Prof. A. d. Hopkins has gone TO
the eastern part Of the state to look
after the interests of the farmers
of that section. Many of the farmers
and fruit growers are losing great
sums of money on account of the
ravages of the San Jose scale It is
to investigate this matter and to
confer with the men interested that
he has gone there.
Steps will be taken to eliminate
the pest and prevent its further
spread. The damage that is being
done amounts to thousands of dol
lars annually and unless the best
and strictest measures are taken the
states fruit trees will be ruined.
Prof. Hopkins is an authority on
this subject and the work that is
done under his direction will be the
most effective that can be done
towards. the suppression of this pest

A CUNNING FOX.
A Dunkard Preacher Witnessed the
Cunning Caper.

A Dunkard farmer was sitting In
his sheep pasture. At no great dis
lance he saw fox gathering wool
from the briars and thorn bushes
where the sheep had been grazing
The fox kept pretty busy till be
had filed his mouth with 4 good
bunch OF wool which extended out
from his jaws. Then be went to the
creek, which was close by, and COM
menced backing himself slowly into
the water, kept backing till nothing
could be seen only his nose and the
bunch Of wool. Then he let loose the
wool and went out OF sight under the
water, but crossed and went out on
the other side.
The wool went swimming down the
stream. The man with pole took
the wool out on the hank and found
it full of fleas. The fox had taken
that scheme to rid himself Of the In
sects. J.. G.. X.

FIRST GOODS FOR DELLSLOW.
Taken Over the BlacKbOttIe TO Peter

The first lot of goods delivered at
Peterson Station has been laid down
there going in on Friday afternoon
over the Blackbottle. This station
is the one at which the goods for
Dellslow is delivered The station
is named in honor of William Peter
son who lives there
The goods taken up were con-
signed to T. M Pixler a merchant at
Dellslow. The first shipment ere
ated quite fiutter at Dellslow and
is matter of congratulation to ev-
eryone concerned. The delivery by
rail is very great contrast to that
by the old method of wagoning and
the contrast is made more sharp by
the conditions that prevail now.
