The funeral Grafton of Pericles Is
pretty nearly what was actually spo-
ken, or else II Is the substance of the
speech written out In the historians
own words, says James Ford Rhodes
in The Atlantic. Its intensity Of feel
Ing and the fitting of It so well into the
situation indicate 1t to be a living con-
temporaneous document, and at the
same time 1t has that universal appli-
cation which we note In so many
speeches of Shakespeare.
A few years after our civil war
lawyer In n city Of the middle west
who had been selected to deliver the
Memorial day Grafton came to a friend
of his In despair because he could write
nothing but the commonplace about
those who had died for the Union and
for the freedom Of race which had
been uttered many times before, and
he asked for advice.
"Take the funeral Grafton Of Pericles
for model" was the reply. use his
words where they will fit and dress up
the rest to suit our day."
The orator was surprised to find how
much Of the grafton could be used bod
lily and how much, with adaptation,
was germane to his subject.

shrewd Advice.


The virtues Of keen business man
are often negative rather than posi-
tive. 1t is said that a great broker
once told his son that only two things
were necessary to make great iinan-
cier.
Sand what are those, papa?' the son
asked.
Honesty and sagacity."
"But what do you consider the mark
Of honesty to beT
always to keep your word"
"And the mark of sagacity?"
"Never to give your word"
In 1927, just after Dan Dougherty,
the Irish pugillst, fought his famous
fight with Jem Belcher, the English
fighter, on the curragh Of Kildare, near
Dublin, he became involved In a con-
troversy with an unknown. The lat
ter was not pugilist, and, not wishing
to take any advantage of his opponent,
Dougherty consented to fight him with
pistols. The two met by appointment,
but their seconds, unknown to them,
extracted the balls from the pistols
and substituted blank cartridges. BY
the terms Of the agreement between
the principals Dougherty's opponent
was to have the first shot. The natu-
raj instinct prevailed even on the duel
ing ground, and as the fighters oppo-
nent raised his arm to fire Dougherty
elevated his right arm, as IL to ward
of blow, evidently intending to stop
the bullet from hitting him In the face.
After this who can say that fighters
are not dead game men ?-Kansas City

The race for the judgeshlp OF the
Albany circuit is getting warm.
1t has reached the Stint SUPPLEMENT-"
stage.
On Saturday Judge Spence and Hon.
Jno. E. Donaldson met in joint debate
at Morgan, Calhoun county, and those
who were present say the gentlemen
made it warm for each other.
1t appears to have been a sort OF i'm
promptu affair. The county democratic
executive committee held a meeting
at Morgan on Saturday, and Judge
Spence and Col Donaldson both hap
pened to be there, each looking after
his interest in the race. The joint de-
bate was arranged after the opposing
candidates arrived on the ground.
The Herald had no representative
present, and will not, therefore, at
tempt to report details, but it is said
to have been a very lively debate.

THE ECLIPSE IN GEORGIA.
THIS STATE BEST PLACE TO
STUDY THE PHENOMENON.
Track of Shadow Will Extend
from New Orleans to Norfolk.
May Be Seen Here for Min
ute and a Half.

The people of Georgia will have a
fine opportunity to witness the eclipse
OF the sun on the 28th of May. 1t will
occur at about s: 05 O'Clock in the
morning, and will be almost total in
this state. The path of the shadow
will be from New Orleans straight
across the country to Norfolk. In Geor-
ola ohe duration of the eclipse will be
one minute and twenty-six seconds. AT
no place in the United States will the
eclipse last more than one minute and
forty-two seconds.
This is the first eclipse of the kind
since 1873. 1t begins in the Paclhc
ocean near the west coast Of Mexico at
sunrise, extends n0rthwestward across
Mexico, and strikes this country at
New Orleans and passes on just above
Macon, near Milledgeville,a and straight
on to Norfolk, where it leaves America
and crosses Europe, and even gives the
Beers a chance as far away as South
Africa.
A number of scientific men have
their eyes on Macon as a place best
suited to observe the phenomenon, as
that city has every convenience and
can furnish all that is necessary for
the entertainment of the students or
the curious. May 18th is rarely bad
day in this section. For several years
that day has been one of clear wealth
err, thus making the chances for good
views much better in that city than
the records will give to any other city.
Last year the day dawned without a
blemish. The rich blue sky was be-
jeweled with dazzlingly brilliant sun,
and those who like the study of the
heavens say that nowhere could there
be found better place to watch the
moon as she darcs come between the
earth and the sun.
The agricultural department report
shows that the elevated ground Of
Georgia and eastern Alabama, which
is higher above the sea level than any
other portion of the track, has the
minimum of cIoudiness. The month of
May, it says, is relatively free from
clouds, and on the whole it is good
time for eclipse work. Since the aver
age cloudiness is about is per cent. in
Georgia it follows that astronomers

NOVEL KANSAS EXPERIMENT.
Two Farmers Buy 100000 Pounds of
Salt For Their Land.

Kansas has come to the front with
two farmers who have imported a 49,
600 pound car of salt, which they Will
use on their land.
Both have large farming interests
which they look after closely. They
live at home and have all that heart
can wish.
Their plan is to scatter the salt like
fertilizers and afterwards SOW oats,
wheat and flax, on the idea that lana
so treated is given the chemical treat
ment required by those products; and
they also believe it will cause bugs to
shun the fields.
The idea is as novel and amusing in
Kansas as it would be in Georgia, and
it is a much mooted question in the
bailiwack of these farmers as to
whether or not the wheat so treated
will not grow loaves of salt-rising
bread
At any rate, the results of the test
will be eagerly watched and if the
Kansas farmers reap good returns
from their 800 investment high
priced commercial fertilizers will soon

SHELDON'S IDEA PARODIED.
Two Indiana Editors Running Their Paper

edited a paper like he thought Jesus
would, two ingenious Indiana editors
conceived the idea of editing a paper

had a pretty hard road; but now,

preachers | am getting along easy.

chestras that have taken the place OF

hymns; they baked the devilish spirit

Among the features are "Satan's
Salutatory," "The DEVILS Question

'Items from Hades." An editorial by
the office devil is the principal feat
ure of humor. The work of H. J.
Feltus, the veteran editor, is readily
recognized in every column.

as local affair, but orders for copies
came in SO fast that the Office was near
