Right a Again, Governor.

The legislature had hardly authorized
the appointment of a commissioner
from this state 70 the Paris exposition
before several appli cations from women
were made. The resolution did not
mention sex, but the governor quietly
turned down the applications from wo-
men, saying that the unwritIen law OF
the state was against the appointment of
women to public office. The level head
ed man in the executive chair has again
done the state a service for which he
deserves the thanks Of the public. The
truest ana best " men already have all
the rights they need or want, and the

enlargement. They do not want 10

A CARLOAD OF HOGS.
Big Shipment of Terrell County
Porkers to Atlanta.

Mr.. A. j. Carver and Messrs. w. d.
and j. H. Davis will ship a carload OF
hogs to Atlanta today. There will be one
hundred hogs in the lot averaging Zoo
pounds each, and they will bring De-
tween s. and 50 per head in the Atlanta
market.
While there has been tendency
among the farmers of Terrell for the
past several years to give more attention
to the raising of hogs and cattle the
shipment today will perhaps be the frs
hogs ever sent from the county to mark
ct.
A large number of the farmers OF the
county are now not only raising enough
meat for themselves and their farms but
are having surplus to sell.
And this is one reason why there Is
less complaint of hard times than in
former years.

"Well, Croker, | am glad to see you

at last"
I have seldom seen Mr.. Croker thrown
off his balance in any way, but he failed
utterly for a retOrt at this time. With a

replied "W ell, Senator, you will admit
that Tammany has always been regular. "

WHY so MANY MULES ?
They Live Only. Ten to Seven Years as a
Rule.

The local mule dealers report that the
mule market continues active, and in a
general way that business is still BOOM
ing.
The large sale of mules this winter is
accounted for on the ground that there
were very few sold last year. The aver
age life OF a m ule is from seven to ten
years, and it is necessary to buy large
number of new mules each year. AS one
year was practically skipped, the sales
this winter are naturally larger than u.s.
ual.

And the polite answer invariably
was. "No. mister: very sorry but have
nothing for you
Every one who answered his ring ad-
dressed him as 'Mr." but shut their
doors and hearts against him.
OFinally. he rang the bell at a brown
stone house.
A gentleman appeared and the old
man began:
Boss, l is starvin; can't you GIN

"You darned black, kinky-headed ras-

dare you ring the bell of my front

LIVE STOCK TRANSPORTATION.

There was q time, not many years
ago.. when the transportation of cattle
by rail was carried on under such con-
ditions Of starvation for food and water
as that the beasts not only suffered
severely, but their commercial value
was greatly deprecated, and many OF
them became so diseased rs to make
them unfit for use as human food, be-
sides carrying infection to other
healthy animals. After much agita-
ton, and under the protection of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
following law was enacted:
mo railroad company within the
United States whose O forms any
part of q line of rOa over which
cattle, sheep, swine or other animals
are conveyed from q state to anOth-
er, or the owners or masters of steam,
sailing or other vessels carrying or
transporting cattle, sheep, swine or
other 6nimals from one state to moth
er, shall confne the same in cars, boats
or vessels of any description for q long
err period than twenty-eight consecu-
tive hours. without unloading the same
for rest, water and feeding for q period
of at least i've consecutive hours,
unless prevented from SO unload
ing by storm Or other accidental
causes"
In cars that have proper arrange
ments for feeding, watering and rest
ing the animals, no unloading is re-
quired. The lsw.does not apply to such
cases. If railroads handling live stock
would use improved cars. this twenty
e~ight-hour law would not affect them
and they would be spared the cost of
defending suits, such as Cox 81 Kayser
have been compelled to begin against
the Mexican Central railroad:
bit the fact remains hat the greatest
numbers of such animals are trans
ported under conditions where the i'm
proved cars are not used, and q per-
sistent effort Is being made to change
the period of % consecutive hours OF
confinement to 40.
Such a change would be greatly
detrimental to the health and value OF
the live stock, which could then be
carried for 40 consecutive hours with
ont being watered, fed or rested.
Strong pressure is being brought upon
congresst to legislate for the benefit of
the railroads at the expense of the
the animals, not to mention their
asonable comfort. The New Orleans
Picayune strongly urges that the
amendment of the law as proposed
ght to be resisted to the utmost, be-

meeting of the National Mothers Con-
gress and the gathering will undoubt-
ely be the most notable one OF its
kind ever held. Admiral Dewey and
Governor Roosevelt, with their wives,
are expected 10 be present as honored
guests of Des Moines, and the pro-
me issued this week gives q fore
taste of other good things that are be-
ing prepared for the occasion. The
public reception on the opening night
will be a notable affair. Governor Shaw
will welcome the visitors and there will
be responses from rep eseDtatlve VIC
men of every section of the country.
Among the topics scheduled for dis
cussion are: Child culture and its pos
sibilities for boys, Unseen dangers to
childhood resulting from present indus
trial conditions, The child-saving
problem from various points of view.
Many prominent people will take
part 10 the discussions and among the
promised speakers are Miss Jane
Adams of Chicago, Mrs. Frederick
SchoH of Philadelphia, Mrs. Florence
Kelly, of New York city, Miss Haven
OF New York, president of the Interna-
tional kindergarten association; Prof.
O'Shea Of the University of Michigan,
Mary Roberts Smith, professor of So
GEOLOGY of Leland Stanford university,
aud Mary S. Garrett, president of the
Pennsylvania school for teaching
speech to deaf children.
In addition to these there will also
be fraternal delegates from Canada,
Mexico, India and other countries, so
that the gathering will be more inter-
national than national in lite character.
1t seems a little peculiar to see the
names of unmarried women among the
speakers at q congress of mothers. but
they are probably the mothers of great
on the question.

of an English newspaper reporter who

original sermons on all branches of

was soon overwhelmed with orders and
built up a thriving business.

the discussions that will follow the in

Der of ordinary census uses, since the

pie have is really expressed by "me-
dian, ''while"average'' means quite an
other thing. There Is room in our ter
