THE formulated theory that disease
develops genius is new to most per-
sons" said DR.. Francis W. Mcnamara
but it is old in its ragged concep-
tons. That is to say. the alenists have
noticed that men of genius often had
peculiarly shaped brains and skulls.
No one has heretofore given the mat
ter so broad a scope as to say that all
genius is the result of a malformation
due to disease, drugs or accident 1t
is no doubt true that a man cannot be
a genius in more than one line. Then
why should one man take to one sort
of occupation while another man with
similar environments seeks an outlet
for his energy in an entirely different
line? 1t is undoubtedly because the

sMACKED HER BY MISTAKE.

Americas Times Recorder: A Lee
street lady expected friend from
Texas for the holidays, and yesterday
was the date of her arrival. The hus-
band of the hostess had never seen the
expected guest. but went boldly to the
station to welcome her here. He is
one Of Americas most prominent and
popular citizens. And in legislative
halls has gazed with a holy calm up
on hundreds of his peers without be-
tfaying evidence of fear or nervous
ness. When the train arrived he
STROBE forth to meet the expected
guest. Singing out a lady, he rush
ed up and in blandest tones asked if
she was Mrs. Blank. She was not, but
told him instead that she was Mrs
Shank. These were not exactly the
names used, but the real ones were
quite as near alike. But the host
failed TO understand the name pro-
nounced. and thinking he had the ex-
pected party he threw his arms about
her neck and imprinted a kiss which
reminded her of a fervent Texas tor,
nado. Before tho lady recovered from
her astonshiment a policeman came
upon the scene. He was also looking
for Mrs. Blank. rs this Mrs. Blank, :"
he asked in his sweetest style. No
this is not Mrs. Blank, and l don't
want you to kiss me either, she replied
and calling a hack rode away from
the station while the expectant host
and the policeman went away back
and sat down.

THE sENAToRsHIP QUESTION.

An Atlanta dispatch to the Columbus
Ledger says: viii Joe Terrell, if he
is elected Governor. run for the United
States Senate against Senator Bacon
in 1906? Some folks say he will and
some say he won't. The governorship
is the stepping stone to the Senate
anyhow, and it may be that Mr.. Ter
rell will get senatorial ambitions by
the time he has served as Governor for
two or three years. provided that he
should get elected. Maybe some of
the other candidates if they are elected
will also offer for the senatorial toga.
Senator Bacon, who is now about 65
years of age, will be some II at the
expiration of his term, and it may be
that he win want to retire then. 1t
will do to watch the situation anyhow.

fatal shooting at Pretoria, in West
Dougherty, the site of the Red Cypress
Lumber company's big plant, have
reached the city. The killing occurred
on Tuesday, and was probably acct

accidentally discharged it. The full
load struck the darkey. who was
standing Immediately in front of the

most instant death The slayer came
to Albany and gave himself up to the
authorities, and is now in Jail. No
coroner's inquest was held. The negro

PROPER WORD FOR DEMOCRACY.

The Dubuque Herald referred the 9TH

In Illinois and characterized it as "a
pretty good sign Of democratic rccrud-
essence Thereupon the Gate City re-
marked that Reconnaissance. was good;
that according to Webster it means
growing raw, sore or painful again;
breaking out again after temporary
abatement OF suppression The Herald
was congratulated upon its happy
choice of term. .Recrudescence. 2
added the Gate City, SIS all right Now
lowing:
III The Gate City had looked little
further for definition it would have
found that the Heralo used the word
correctly. The term is used to express
increase or return. An example of
this is given in Webster's dictionary by
quotation from the writings Of the
Duke of Argyle in which occurs the
phrase. Reconnaissance of barbarism'
meaning return of barbarsm."
Exactly. That's what the Gate City
said The Herald used the term cor
rectiy, and 1t was Il good term to use in
that connection. Reconnaissance, espe-
eiaily as illustrated by Webster hts the
case admirably. There can be no dis
agreement between our esteemed Du-
bulue contemporary and the Gate City
on that point. SO far from crticising
the Herald for its employment of the
term in question this paper warmly
commends il for its excellent Judgment

PROHIBITION OR MULCT.s

Sunday night some miscreant broke

belonging to Carson Mills at Arnoid's

palliation. Mr.. Mills is an honest in

property would deserve the fun limit Of
punishment.
1t is claimed this act is due 20 the
fact that Mi. Mills is circulating a re-
monstrance to suspend operations I'M
der the mulet petition This may be
true. 1t is further declared thatit will
make signatures 10 the remonstrance
and this is probobly true. Furthermore
this statement is absolutely true: Any
man who signs a mulct petition or re-
monstrance to the same for any reason
other than the honest belief that his act
will best serve the moral conditions of
his country is unworthy of citizenship.
There is chance that either course
may be the better one, but the act of
the individual should be the result of
deliberate Investigation, reflection and
conscientious purpose.

trunks which must be every bit OF 80

up by the falling water settles on the
trees in such quantities that they often
assume the appearance Of icebergs strand

boughs break away under the burden,
and after very cold season the tree
energes from its plating of ice shorn en-
