Matters are growing hotter and
hotter in connection with the great
Jackson Street Fair, which takes
place October 81 to 20, inclusive,
and the unmistakable indications
at present are that Jackson will
have the biggest crowd on her
hands that week that has ever been
known in her history. 1t was esti-
mated last year that $1,000 stran-
gers visited Jackson during the
week of the Street Fair, and this
year there seems to be, from all
reports coming in, no doubt but
that the crowd will reach over 100,-
900. The three railroads leading
to Jackson have established a rate
of one fare for the round trip from
all points for the week, and the
territory through which they lead
is being covered with handsome
pictorial paper in more proiusion
than any circus would do the work.
The attractions at the Street Fair
this year will be more numerous
and much stronger in quality than
any that have ever been seen at a
Street Fair in the South.

THE PRESIDENTS HORSES.

It is refreshing to note that Presi- dent Roosevelt is opposed to the GUS tom of docking horses tails. The three carriage horses which were pur- chased for him not long ago in New York are Kentucky thoroughbreds with long tails and manes Mir Roose- welt impressed upon his agent the fact that he must consider no docked horses eligible to position in the white house stables.
 Most lovers of horses like them best E in their natural condition, with only such notifications as careful grooming and becoming harness, but the presi- dents action is important in that it sets the example for great many thousands of horse owners who do not think of the animals comfort, or of anything else except being in the fash ion. If the fashion of the white house is not to dock the horses tails, the flock of fashion followers will go that way like so many sheep, and ami mals which have not already suffered from this barbarous and cruel custom will be allowed to enjoy immunity. Aside from the cruelty of the process itself-and despite the reports of in terested persons, it does involve tor ture to the victim a horse is mad dened almost to the point of being dangerous when fly time comes and the natural brush is not there to whisk the tormenting insects away. In the case of the cropped ears and tails of dogs intended to fight there is the slight ex- cuse that the dog will be injured more severely by the teeth of other dogs if his ears are left long, than he will by having them clipped early in life, but there is no such excuse for the docking of horses tails. \ horse is not beau tiful with his tail shipped off so that it looks like a shaving brush, and he is certainly not comfortable. It is to be hoped that the fashion will disappear as completely as the habit of wearing nOSa rings

There is one position which the pres ident will have to fill in the near fu- ture, and which is likely to prove stumbling block, says correspondent writing from Washington. ''I refer to the position of recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. For many years it has been the custom to ap- point a colored man to this position. The present incumbent is Henry w. Cheatham and the president has per mitted it to be known that he will not be allowed to continue in the office. The recorder of deeds has become very important office and includes as subordinates some twenty-five white women. Many people, of both parties, believe that colored man should not be placed in position of authority over white women.

sATIRIcAL WRITERS SCARCE.

Why satirical writing-0ne of the highest. most difficult and effective forms of literary eavor-should have been permitted to sink into the oblly- ion of the lost arts is question over which many have -pondered. Certain it is that there is nothing the country stands in greater need of to-day than a great satirical writer. Such one will find in our social and political life the richest field that the world has known since Hogarth's day.
 It is a curious fact that, in an era which has at least produced greater number of writers than any other in our country's history, there is scarcely a satirist worthy of the name to be found. Of story writers and novelists We have plenty, and we can boast Of some humorists of distinctively indl- yiduality, but, with the exception of MT Dooley," there is certainly not a high class political satirist in the field, while the clumsy attempts to satirize literature, society and some of our other pet institutions awaken pity rather than laughter.
 This, in q country whose humor holds a high rank in comparison with
 
 ways so. Benjamin Franklin made his mark as a satirist before the republic was born, and, in the early part of the tion served to quicken into life some new satirical pen. Who, should like to know, will live in history as the sa- tirist of any of our presidents since Franklin's time? I do not recall at of cal satire since Richard Grant White wrote ''The New Gospel of Peace" Before White. we had known James Russell Lowell, one of the best and truest satirical writers of the century, whose "Biglow Papers, are well worth reading today. I know of no finer ex- ample of political satire than that which is concentrated in the words: But John F. Robinson, he
 Says they didn't know everything
 down in Judee.''
 The Revolution begat the "Junius Letters; the war of 1912 made Seba Smith a satirist, and the Mexican war prompted some of LowelTs finest sar- casm. The civil war, it is true, brought forth a shert-lived race of sa- tirical writers, and among these were Petroleum V. Nasby," @ K. Philan- der Doesticks' and s'Orpheus c. Kerr"
 There are several reasons for the scarcity of satirists at the present mo- ment. To begin with, the American public does not take kindly to satire, and the magazine age of letters has shaped writers of an entirely different class. Moreover, no satirist can go about his work with an real confidence in his ultimate success, if he realizes how few people there are who possess a genuine sense of humor. At the present day full nine-tenths of the reading population of this country are as impervious to fine satire as is the proverbial ducks back to a rainfall It is for this reason that some of the most preposterous fakes that the world has ever seen find it an easy matter to palm themselves off on the world at their own vaIuation.-James l.. Ford in Success.

Just think of the president of the United States losing his temper, throw ing diplomacy and politeness to the winds and insulting the head of the United States army, and before a gathering of congressman, representa- tives and others. The president may have the power and authority to cen sure and reprimand, but we doubt If the country will stand for any such grand stand play as that which took place at the White House this week. The president is bringing in too much of the strenuous life" to suit his at one time most ardent admirers. And to think that they must put up with three years more of it. If things keep on as they are going now it will be easy sailing for the man who opposes Roosevelt in 1904.

MT Roosevelt continues to demon strate that he is master hand at the game of politics, although his methods are inclined to be clean. His appoint ment of Henry c. Payne to succeed Charles Emory Smith as postmaster general is considered a master stroke. MT Payne is vice-chairman of the re publican national committeee and a lobbyist of national reputation. He will bring to the presidents council table a long and successful political experience. It has been rumored that MT Payne would succeed Mir Hanna as chairman of the national commit tee, but that report is discredited and it is believed that Senator Hanna is too good a philosopher to make such a step necessary.

THE EARTH's INFERIOR HEAT.
Immense Stored Energy Which May Some Day Be TransfOrmed Into
 Power and Utilized


 The stored energy of the heat of the earth's interior is beyond power of calcula ton and some not entirely un- successful attempts to utilize this have already been made, says Cassier's Mag azine. From a short distance below the surface the temperature increases downward at an average rate which in- dicates that at a depth of 50 miles it is not less than 5000 degrees Fahren- heit, and there is abundant reason for believing that the earth is an intense ly hot body with only a thin layer of poorly conducting, cold surface mat ter. These are the essential conditions of heat engine of enormous capacity. and as in many parts of the world com paratively high temperatures are found very near the surface, while in all parts considerable ranges are pos sible within reasonable differences of level, the interior heat of the earth, which has an origin more remote in time than the sun or it's own axial rotation, is worthy of more serious consideration as a possible and reason able source. of power. Its importance win be greatly enhanced when we are able to transform heat energy directly into electricity on a large scale and with economy, avoiding the great waste which necessarily accompanies the use of the steam engine; aud this must soon come about,

The Taft commission has appealed to congress for almost unlimited power in the administration of the affairs of the Philippines, such as the authority to issue bonds, grant franchises, char ters, land grants. guarantee interest to investors in railroads, etc. It is thought likely that these powers will be grant ed, but the request will serve to awaken congress to it's responsibility in the affairs of the islands and may result in important legislation provid- ing for their administration.

 For enlarged pores use complexion brush, hot water and pure soap every night for weeks. It takes time and patience, but it can be done. A slight ly astringent lotion, to be used once or twice daily, is also helpful.
 Equal parts of lemon juice and glycerin, rubbed upon the hands, after thoroughly rinsing them, is usually efficacious for chapped hands. Dry in the usual manner. Thorough drying of the hands in cold weather is essen tial.
 To cure blackheads bathe the face in hot water in which pinch of borax has been dissolved every night. Then, as the skin has been softened, go all over it with the little suction cup, which will draw the impurities to the surface. Some may be drawn out every day in this manner. If left to harden in the skin they will produce pimples end enlarged pores.
