AN IMPORTANT MEASURE.

AS we view it the Park bill, which
requires that certain studies which
show the effect. of alcohol and mar
cotics on the human system shall be
taught in the public schools, and
which was passed by the House on
Tuesday, is a good one. Nothing
should be left undone to teach the ris-
ing generation the importance of
health. Young men who poison their
systems with whisky and cigarettes
cannot have healthy bodies and clear
minds. Those who succeed in life must
have both. Employment is not so east
ly obtained now as it once was. The
labor field and the professions are
crowded, and those who are not weak
ened by the drink habit or the cigar
cite habit will always have the better
chance for success. 1t is well known
that the great corporations, and, IN
fact, all employers prefer to employ
cigarettes. Indeed, there are corpor-
atoms which will not have drinking
man in their service.
The public schools therefore cannot
render our boys a greater service than
to teach them to let whisky and cigar
cites alone. And, from all accounts,
the girls are in need Of the same kind
of teaching. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to see ii stated in the newspapers
that, in the large cities drinking
among women is on the increase,
though on the decrease among men.
And there are reports that in some of
the cities the cigarette habit is an in
creasing one among women.
1t is in the power of the public
schools to render the children great
service along the lines marked out by
the Park bill. We do not undertake
to say that one-fifth of the text books
should deal with the subjects of phys
lology and hygiene. but we do not
hesitate to say that these subjects
should be given a great deal of atten-
ton.

8uncoed at Last.

For the past dozen years." said a
Chicago man, according to the New
York Sun, Il have been coming to New
York without having purchased any
gold bricks or meeting any bunco
men: but I had an experience this
morning that has sadly shaken my
confidence. 1 went into barber shop
in a downtown hotel to get a hair cut.
Where did you have your hair cut
last?' asked the barber as I sat down.
50 In Chicago, said I, unsuspect-
ingly.
. I thought So he replied. I have
seen a number of such cases from
there
What do you mean| said I.
why, your scalp is in very bad
shape. None of our regular custom
ers has such a scalp as that. We use
here a tonic that cures it and II you
don't object 1 will put some on
When he had finished with my hair
and I said 1 did not want a shave he
examined my neck closely.
Shave yourself?'
Yes
I thought so. and I can see that
it is little sore where your collar
rubs. / can fix that with another prep
aration, if you don't mind
Il was so pleased with his attention
that l decided to tip him a quarter.
When I got out of the chair the bar
Der handed me two bottles, all wrap
ped up, and a check for $3.50.
What's all this? said 1.
Why, 1 had to open two bottles,
one for your scalp and one for your
neck said the barber, and the balance
is for your shave
Il was so dazed that 1 paid the
check and stumbled out into the hall,
where / dropped the bottles on the
steam radiator. 1t was a clear case
of bunco and every man to whom 1
have started to tell the story has in
terrupted me with the name of the
barber shop. That is the regular game
in this shop and 1 haven't been able
to get any sympathy from any one.
We do all sorts of wicked things In
Chicago, but we never sandbag visit
ors in barber shops in this fashion"

Snakes Two Heads Fight.

Scoffers have remained to wonder at
the Bronx Park Zoo, says the New
York correspondence of the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Doubters are convinced and
for once that a wild snake story is
true. The cause of this, the latest
snake sensation, is a two-headed milk
srake, found a few days ago in the
Bronx. 1t is ten inches long and about
ore-fourth of an inch thick at it's
greatest diameter. where its body be-
gins to separate to form its two necks
and heads. Its age is estimated at be-
tween and months. The two sepa-
rate and perfectly formed heads are q
little over an inch in length. The heads
appear for most of the time to exist in
perfect harmony, but when food is
offered to the snake the antagonism of
the two heads has thus far prevented
any nourishment from being given the
creature. Whenever one head attempt
ed to take food offered the other would
resent the act, and a quarrel would
er sue. The keepers fear that unless
some method of contracting a truce be-
tween the two jealous heads can be de-
used that they will lose their rare
specimen from starvation

PERSONAL.

The Washington (Pa.) Observer
says ]. L. Griffin, of near there, has
voted sixty-four times. The record
brings him unique distinction, because
each vote was cast at a different cleo
ton. Mr.. Griffin will be Sc years old
next month.
1t is only now publicly known that
Frederick J. Stetson, husband of Au-
gusta E. Statson, the Christian Scien-
fist, is dead, although the death &C.
Cured July last at Mrs. Stetson's
house in New York. The widow says
Mr.. Stetson was i'll for a long time
and could not be cured because he was
not a believer in Christian Science.
The two German women, Dr. Irma
Klausner and Miss Elsa Won der Leyen,
who were the first ladies to take their
degree and pass the German medical
state examination, have now settled
in Berlin, where they intend to prac-
tice as doctors. Now that this is al
lowed in Germany it is certain that
a great number of ladies will study
for their medical degree in Berlin.
Prof. Ernest Haeckel has announc-
ed that he cannot undertake any more
public lectures or addresses, not only
on account of his falling health and
advanced years, but also because he
wishes to devote the remainder of his
life to the completion of the import
ant works which he has on hand.
He also says that he will not visit any
more scientific congresses.

Long Uses a Telephone.

Commander Sutherland of the navy
will never hear the last of the sugges-
ton made by Attorney Rayner as to
what became of the message he claims
he megaphoned to the Scorpion,
Schley's dispatch boat, while the Com
modore was off Cienfuegos, says the
PittSburg Dispatch. Rayner's suggeS-
ton was that the message stuck in the
megaphone or that Switzerland used
the wrong end of that instrument.
Even at the Navy Department, where
all Rayner's shafts of sarcasm i'm
bedded themselves in quivering flesh, it
is permissible to have fun with the
jolly commander. Secretary Long,
whose aide he is, has set the example
of teasing Switzerland. This afternoon,
when the newspaper men made their
daily call upon the Secretary, he put
his two hands up to his mouth and
through this improviSed megaphone, in
a stage whisper, he said
No news-of the Spaniards or any,
thing else, either"
Il hope that didn't stick in the mega
phone said the Secretary, looking in
the commanders direction.
Switzerland takes it in good part,
but is just the least bit provoked at
Capt. Lemly's failure to ask the uues-
tons which would have enabled the
commander to have extricated himself
from the position in which he was left
after Rayner had finished his cross
examination. Switzerland had saved
ammunition for redirect
but Lemly forgot to ask the necessary
questions.

THE BUILDERS.

In every city, town and county that
is progressive and prosperous there will
be found one or several busy. hustling,
energetic citizens who for want of
better term may be called promoters.
Imbued with civic pride and patriot
ism, they are always looking out for
something TO help the community and
make it better and richer; and once
they find a promising scheme they
study it and talk about it until their
fellow citizens become interested in the
matter and take it up. Many men have
become conspicuous not only in their
own communities, but throughout the
state, for their pertinacity in talking
up and promoting the advantages and
resources of their sections. Among the
class of men we have in mind is Judge
Joseph Tillman of Quitman, Ga. For
thirty years or more he has been an
enthusiastic and energetic laborer in
the good work of making two blades
of grass grow where one grew before in
South Georgia and Florida, and it is
safe to say that in that time he has
done more for the advancement of the
section materially than any other one
man. He is a veritable walking ency-
clopedia of facts and figures respect
ing the section he is so fond of pro-
noting, and it is always a pleasure TO
him to impart information to others.
Judge Tillman, still prosecuting the
good work, is now laboring to secure
the active cooperation of the railroads
and landowners in bringing capital and
homeseekers into Lower Georgia. 1t
seems that he ought to have very lit
tie difficulty, if any at all. in getting
that cooperation. 1t is certainly to
the interest of the railroads and the
landowners to have the country devel-
oped Every white settler brought into
the section means an increase of bust
ness for the railroads and higher values
of real estate in after years. But i'm
migrants of the desirable sort will not
come into a section unless it has in
ducements to Offer and those induce
ments must be clearly demonstrated in
facts and figures before the removal oc-
ours. Therefore, in aiding Judge Till
man the interests referred to will act
ually be aiding themselves at the same
time. Lower Georgia needs thousands
more of white settlers-the thrifty
farmers and builders of Germany,
Scandinavia and the North and West
of Europe generally. The railroads and
the landowners can assist nightly in
forwarding the movement to get them
here; and the sooner we get them the
better it will be for all hands.

ssTimv CampbeJI Skate story

A pretty good story is told at the ex-
pense of Tim" Campbell, formerly
Tammany member of Congress from
the city of New York, says the Wash
ington correspondence of the Philadel-
phia North American. One day he
was showing a number of his constit-
uents about the Capitol, pointing out
the various things of interest When
Tim" and his party entered Statuary
Hall the Tammany statesman began
to explain to his friends what they
were beholding. Pointing to the life
sized statue of Robert Fulton in a sit
ting position with a model of his first
steamship in his hands, he said in a
rich Irish brogue:
This. gentlemen. is the statoo of
Robert Fulton, the invinter of the roll
er skate"
AS a matter of fact, the model of
the steamboat looks about as much
like a roller skate as it does like a
river steamer of modern date. and it
is needless to say that a majority of
"Tim's" constituents had never heard
of Robert Fulton before and are still
under the impression that he invented
the roller skate instead of the steam
boat.

Gen. Shelly, who led the opposition
to the ratification of the new consti-
tuition in Alabama, announces that an
organization will be maintained by his
followers and the new fundamental
law fought hereafter at the polls. This,
it seems. means the advent of a new
political party in Alabama. With the
negro eliminated, it must necessarily
be a white mans party. 1t is claimed
by Gen. Shelly that his organization
will attract both Republicans and Pop
ulists. as well as those Democrats who
opposed the ratification of the consti-
tuition.

Maj. Russell r. Harrison is indefat-
igable in his efforts to right the wrong
which he feels was done him by the
War Department in dismissing him
from the service before the expiration
of the term of his enlistment, notwith-
standing he has apparently made lit
tie Roadway as yet. Maj. Harrison has
just been admitted to the Indianapolis
Bar as a practicing attorney. He says
he studied law for the purpose of flt-
ting himself to fight to the end the
unjust, unmilitary and outrageous
treatment" meeted out to him as a SOL
der by the War Department. 1t will
be recalled that Demosthenes, the
greatest orator of Athens and of
Greece. was compelled to the study of
law in order that he might secure his
rights. Who knows but that the War
Department may yet have to be thank
ed for comforting upon us the inesti-
mable boon OF another Demothenes?

BROOKS THE WINNER.

Three cheers for the Big Three at
the State Fair-Brooks, Spalding and
Barlow! In the order named they have
captured the three principal prizes for
county agricultural exhibits. Brooks
gets the blue ribbon and the very COM
Portable purse of $500; Spalding gets
$1,000 and Barlow $500. The seven other
counties in the contest get prizes of
5000 each. 1t was a spirited still-life
race, in which all of the entries were
good. We are. of course, gratified to
see the winner a representative of
South Georgia. The fact that Brooks
is a South Georgia county, however,
had nothing to do with the award,
which was made upon merit. Had the
contest taken place in Macon or At
lanta, we are sure the result would
have been the same. While congratu-
lating the winners most heartily. we
wish to assure the losers that they
have done exceedingly we'll, and de-
serve and will receive the warmest
commentator and admiration. Taken
as a whole, the county exhibits have
demonstrated that Georgia is in effect
an independent state. Build an i'm
penetrable wall all around her and she
can still live and live well. She can
raise everything that she needs 10 sus-
tain life and render II comfortable
even luxurious. Now. what Brooks has
done at our State Fair, we feel sure
Georgia can do at Charleston. II our
county exhibits are consolidated and
sent 20 the exposition 10 be opened in
that city next month. We sincerely
hope that arrangements 70 that end can
b. made

The cost of the eleventh census was,
in round figures, 100000. 1t is be-
leved that the cost of the twelfth CEN
sus will not be less than $4,000, 600,
and maybe more. One reason why the
enumerations and compilations cost so
much is that every time a census is to
be taken there must necessarily be a
new organization from the bottom to
the top. There is no permanent CEN
sus bureau and consequently nothing
like method in the organization when
II begins operations. A permanent
census bureau, not necessarily a large
establishment. would handle the data
in shorter time and al less cost than
is possible under the present arrange
ment.
