Edison and Plntinum.

a story will serve to throw light up
on Edison's character. At one time
there was great fear i'm the scientific
world that the deposits OF platinum
were about to become extinct. Edison
thereupon organized a correspondence
bureau and sent letters TO every Amer
lean consul upon the globe, to British
consuls in ports where the United
States had no representative and to
scientific men in every land. The let
ter gave clear statement respecting
the metal, how and where it was found
and might be found. how il could be
Identified and treated and much other
Information.
In each letter were inclosed samples
or platinum as found In the various
rock beds. This may seem to be a
small undertaking, but when it is re-
membered that the letters were sent
on by the thousands. that the postage
was 10 cents to each letter and that
the pieces OF platinum inclosed were
almost as valuable as metallic gold, the
cost OF the achievement is readily seen.
While he did not succeed I'm greatly in
creaslng the output OF platinum. he set
at rest all fear OF it's extinction and
thus earned the gratitude OF every

FAVORS THE KILLING
ALL WEAK PEOPLE.
STARTLING PROPOSITION OF A COR
NELL UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR.
Says 1t Is Necessary to Preserve, the
VigOr and Strength of the
Human Race.

Prof. II. II. Powers, professor of
sociology in Cornell University, is in
| favor of killing the weak of the hui
man species for the benefit of the
strong, and in thus assisting the pro-
cess of natural selection. The operation
of the law of the surviyalof the fttest,
he declares, is so impeded nowadays
by the care that is taken of the phys
ically and mentally unfit that it is in
itself impotent TO preserve the purity,
the vigor and the strength of the hu-
man race.
"a child learning its letters, de-
clared Prof. Powers, in lecture to one
of his classes the other day, fought to
see. the detriment to society in letting
the unfit propagate their kind. Kill off
the feeble-minded and those who are
a burden to the rest of society as you
would kill off so many rattlesnakes,
not because we hate them, but because
they are'tro blesome TO have around
you. i DcllcfC bllC llllC WlCu
society will see the benefit of exterm-
mating the weak by artificial means.
TO be sure, under the present regime,
it is impracticable, for who is to Judge
the stron and the fiji from the weak
and the unfit"
Prof. Powers said the modern GEN.
dency was to kin of the strong of the
human race instead of the weak. Wars
mean the destruction of the very flower
of the race The helpless are coddled
and pampered and thus preserved, in
stead of destroyed by the process of
natural selection.
The views of she Cornell professor
are not particularly new, bat they are
sufficiently rare, fortunately, To excite
a thrill of indignant resentment when
ever they are announced. They belong
to a condition of society when the law
of the survival of the fittest, according
to their present advocate. had a freer
swing. Possibly it is because this law
is not nov doing its full duty thar the
barbarous and cruel practices urged
by Prof. Powers are able 10 find a
champion.

What the English Company Who Have
Been Securing Options on Land in
This Section Propose Doing.

From the Albany Herald
Most people in this region are aware
of the fact that Capt. Sam. B. Hunter
of Macon, Ga, representing a company
of English capitalists, has been taking
options on lands in Dougherty, Lee,
Calhoun, Terrell and perhaps other
counties an this part of the state, and
there has been much inquiry and spec
ulation about what it all meant. Thous.
ands of acres of lands have been OPP
toned at various prices and it is un-
derstood that the maximum limit has
now been about reached, although it
is known that Capt. Hunter has been
trying to negotiate with land owners
in these counties during the last few
days.
