cludes that the floods in the Ohio
river ara due to the destruction CT
the forests and tho clearing up of
the land in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Ohio. 1t further
states tho Agriculture Department
of the Government has given re-
peated warnings of the disastrous
results from floods which will sure
ly. follow the denuding of the for
ests. This may all be SO, but the
average woodsman who clears out

for boards thinks the effect on high
water ia too remote TO be seriously
considered. The destruction of
the forests will go right on with
out regard to the danger of floods
that may result therefrom.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
In a-contested election case re.
gently decided by the Supreme
Court it was laid down as the law
that:
"a voter must use only one of the
ballots of the election ballot sheets,
and the names of all the candidates
for whom he votes must be found
on that one ballot. If some names
are on one ballot, some on another,
the voter does not vote for any
candidate"
This is clearly the law, and it is
good law. Though the court
should have used the word "tioket"
instead of "ballot" in the first in.
stance. The ballot is the greater
term and includes all the tickets,
whether there be two or a dozen of
them. The ballot is the printed
sheet which contains all the tick
cts. a ticket is the candidates of
one particular party. There are
in presidential years from three to
six tickets upon every ballot. If
the voter soratc hes, or uses, more
than one of the tickets in the pre-
paration, or arrangement of the
names of the persons he wishes to
vote for, the entire ballot, nCtwith-
standing the intention of the voter
isobvious, becomes absolutely void,
and is discarded in it's entirety.
A ballot to be legal must have
all it's tickets but one crossed out
from top to bottom, and the voter
must use only the one that is not
erased, by scratching out the names
of the persons he does not want TO
vote for and writing in their places
the names of those for whom he
does want to vote. If a single
ticket on the ballot be arranged in
the manner indicated, and, even.
though done irregularly, the vot.
er's intention can be gathered from
it, then it should be counted ao-
cording to the expressed intent
But if more than one ticket be
used the entire ballot is illegal.
The opinion of the court is plainly
the law and alec the common
sense application of it,

A PLACE FoR rHE INpIGENT.

The mayor is of the opinion that the
the INDECENT OF the city could be sent for
food and shelter. He objects to the poor
farm OF the county because it is worked
by convicts.
But why should the city go to the ex-
pense of purchasing a farm and erecting
an almshouse when the county has twelve
hundred acres of as good land as there is
to be found anywhere within the limits Of
the state? At one time the city had
nearly three hundred acres OF this land.
given to # by the county, but it thought
1t advisable to Lea it revert 10 the county.
In view of the fact that most Of the PEG
pie and nearly all of the wealth of the
county is within the limits of the city
does it not seem reasonable 10 sup
pose that a part of the county
farm should be set apart for the
INDECENT of the city? 1t is not
absolutely necessary that the convicts
should occupy the whole of it or have all
Of the benefits arising from it, There
is plenty of land for both the convicts and
the INDECENT. Let the county authorities
set apart one hundred or two hundred
acres for the benefit Of the INDECENT poor.
With the help of convict labor it would
not cost a great deal to erect suitable
building for them, and the poor house
could be so managed that it's mainten-
ance would not cost great deal. Its in
mates would be able to do some work
and what they could not do could be done
by the convicts, detailed for that purpose
from time to time.
All that is needed in a matter of this
kind is a little management, and an I'M
derstanding between the city and county
authorities. The greatest difficulty in the
way of establishing poor house on the
county farm is that of arriving at an I'M
Outstanding between the county and city
authorities. That difficulty overcome, and
assurance that the two bodies would act
together tremendously, the task of estab-
fishing an aims house for the INDECENT of
The city would be an easy one. But, af-
ter such a refuge for the INDECENT were
established, would it have any occupants
except a few stragglers from adjacent
statesa 1t is doubtful if it would. The
number of INDECENT would decrease with
amazing rapidity if charity were dis
pensed only at the poor farm.

WHY SOUTH GEORGIA PROsPERs

That the census of 1900 should show
that the southern part OF Georgia had
increased in population and prosperity
more than the northern part during the
last decade was a matter of some sur
prise in certain quarters, but 1t was no
surprise to those who have watched the
course of railroad building. look al
the map will show that the country from
the Savannah river to the Florida state
line, south of a line drawn through Ma
con, is crossed and re-crossed by railroad
tracks. In some countries this might
mean little else than passing over rocky
lodges or through desert wastes. In South
Georgia. however, every rail and cross
tie is laid through land that produces re-
Suits first, in timber, lumber and tur-
pentine, and later in all the fruits of
field, orchard and vineyard.
The pioneers who turn the forests and
their products into gold clear the way for
the agriculturists. Blooming cotton ana
tassellng corn take the places of pines and
oaks. and lowing herds and fat swine sue
coed the coon and the 'possum. The small
railroad station becomes a village, and
later town. as the forests are cleared
and the lands are transformed into farms.
No such lands and no such climate is
to be found elsewhere on the North Amer
lean continent as in this section, famed
by the breezes which sweep from the Gulf
of Mexico northeasterly TO the Atlantic.
1t is rolling and well-watered land, with
soil that is easily cultivated and rich
in the variety OF its products. No wonder
it is increasing in population and pros
perity. one cannot study the advantages
thelees even a casual inspection from a
railway train win show that this South
| Georgia land of milk and honey" is be-
| ing rapidly and substantially built up.

late, before the newly made bridegroom
could explain that he had been off getting
married.
