A story comes of the pastor of a
struggling but enterprising little
church who was making fervent an
peal to his congregation for funds to-
ward new building. says the Phila-
delphia Times. When he paused in
his argument, a well-dressed gentle
man arose, stepped forward, explained
that. although a stranger in their
midst, he nd taken an interest in their
efforts, and asked to be permitted to
subscribe a thousand dollars. OF
course. the pastor was amazed; a sin
gle contribution of $40 would have
been as high as his expectations

PARTISAN TRICKERY.

~ The Morning News has received cop
les of a ballot that has been sent out
through the state with the heading,
"Oficial Form of Ballot to be Used in
the State Democratic Primary to be
Held Thursday, June 5, 1902" The ball
lot has the names of the three candi-
dates for Governor on II, but black
lines have been printed through the
names of ]. H. Estill and Dupont
Query, thus leaving the name of ].
NJ. Terrell the only one that can be
voted for by means of this ''official"
ballot. This specimen comes from
Banks county, but others like it are
doubtless being distributed in all coun-
ties where Col. Estill or Mr.. Query is
in the lead.
In the letter of the Hon. E. T.
Brown, chairman of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, dated
April 3, 1902, it is ordered that the
names of all candidates be placed upon
the ballots. The meaning of this is
clear. The voter is to make his Sc
lection and erase the names of all ex-
cept the candidate he wishes to vote
for. To send out an Official ballot
with black lines printed through two
of the names, making it impossible to
vote for anybody save Mr.. Terrell, is
an unfair and outrageous violation of
the rules laid down by the State Com
mittee.
Whether this is the act of officials
of the Democratic party or not, it is
a political trick perpetrated by the
supporters of Mr.. Terrell, and a viola
ton of the spirit and intent of the law
providing for primary elections. The
law, based on reason and justice, con-
templates a full and fair expression
of the choice of the Democratic vot-
ers of the state.
Another attempt to control the votes
of Democrats is that of Chairman
CAN'T of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Cobb county. He noti-
fies voters that no ballots will be count
ed in the election in that county I'M
less the ballots bear his name as
chairman. A sample of his "officlal"
ballot received by the Morning News
has printed on it his certificate that
it is the proper thing to vote. This is
freedom of the ballot with a vengeance.
Mr.. CAN'T is for Mr.. Terrell.
Another election trick is the urging
by the partisans of Mr.. Terrell of the
forming of Query clubs where Col. Es-
till has a majority, and of Estill clubs
where Mr. Guerry has majority SO
as to throw the county to Mr.. Terrell.
This may possible be politically legiti-
mate, but it is we'll enough for Demo-
cratic voters to know how an effort
is being made to juggle them.
A primary election is supposed to be
"a full, fair and free expression of the
opinions and preferences of the vot-
ers of the party. Whether it is posi-
Bile in practice to secure such an ex-
preston or not, it is the duty of every
chairman or other official who is en-
trusted with the management of party
affairs to see that every Democratic
candidate is treated fairly and justly.
1t was partisan trickery that caused
the Democratic party to come near the
verge of defeat in times gone by.

In the Heart of a Thunderstorm.

An English aeronaut who made an
ascent in his balloon was gradually
borne by the wind into the very heart
of thunderstorm. In the June num-
Der of Pearson's Magazine he gives
vivid account of this unusual expert
ence.
But ere we were reluctantly COM
PEELED to admit that we were caught
in bad weather there was a wild Shrek
in the air all around, and in less than
minutes space we were swallowed up
in a pitiless onslaught of hail, which
cut and bruised US, rafting with flu
rious patter on the silk above, and on
the sides of our wicker car, bringing
down, too, from the upper regions
from what hight, who shall say?-an
ice cold down-draught, for which we
were but i'll prepared
And then the thunder broke out.
Up to this moment we had had little
or no premonitory warnings, in the
usual growing of an approaching
storm. Indeed, the thunder, though
appalling enough, proved not the most
striking feature of the grand phenom-
ena we were now about to experience
a fact, in accordance with the expert
ence of the mountaineers, already
quoted Moreover, the reverberations
of the bomb which l now exploded a
hundred feet below died away with I'M
wonted quickness. This was remarked
by all our party, and deserves further
consideration. Certainly to our senses
the rolling of the thunder was not pro-
longed. But again this may have been
merely that it's frequency and it's near
ness drowned the after sound.
For crash now followed crash with
the briefest intermission. 1t was like
guns opening at short range, fast and
furious, as in some sham fight which
one may watch at sea. The flashes
which came from all sides were inVa-
riably somewhat above us, as though
from batteries on commanding nights;
and each was followed shortly with a
burst, closely resembling the solemn
boom of heavy ordnance. They were
single shots from masked embrasures.
ION one flank would come fork of
light-for even in the home of the light
ming the eye could not give it any other
shape-which for a brief interval lin
gered painfully in the eye. Then the
crash followed, and the black cloud
closed up; a shot, as it were, with
smokeless powder answered promptly
by like discharges from opposite
nights. 1t was all wild, terrific war,
to which the novelty of our situation
lent a real terror. For it was borne
in upon us that this was not a sham
fight after all, but that all the sky
around was a real battle ground, and
we were in its focus"

This is the year of the seventeen
year locusts, in some sections of the

with which to fight the beef trust. c.

MY FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS:
I am firmly convinced from my OBJ
servations while canvassing the state.
from my talks with the people in the
different counties, from letters received
from men in every county who are in
a position to know the drift of public
sentiment and from what is reported
to me from men who are travelling
about the state, that the majority of
the voters favor me for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. My candi-
dacy has grown in popularity with
amazing rapidity during the past few
weeks. / am getting reports now from
counties which 1 have not visited, tell
ing me that my views on public ques-
tions meet with general approval, and
urging me to visit them and address
the people. 1t is apparent that 1 can
not comply with this request. The
day for the primary is close at hand.

The New York Evening Post regards
it as matter of sufficient Importance
to warrant editorial comment that a
man of Irish parentage who is a Dem
ocrat in politics and a Catholic in re-
ligion has just been appointed judge
of the Supreme Court in Massachusetts,
by a Republican Governor of native de-
scent, who is a member of a. Protest
ant church and who was born about
the time when the prejudice against
Irishmen and 'Romanism' was in its
hight in the Bay State" This brings
to mind the fact that even a rneasur-
able degree of tolerance is of so recent
date in Massachusetts that the life

Continental Europe seems to have
awakened suddenly to the fact that
while Great Britain has been carrying
on war in South Africa, she has not
been neglecting her opportunities in
ether quarters of the globe. So en-
crossed was Continental Europe in
watching the struggle in the Boer col
onies, and applauding whenever Great
Britain got a setback, that they en-
tirely neglected to take notice of how
affairs were going in Asia. Now, all
at once. it is discovered that the Brit
ish have steadily been gaining infu-
ence in Arabia and strengthening
themselves elsewhere. A Vienna news
paper says Great Britain has secured
absolute predominance in Asia as well
as in South Africa" without the other

tits an i'll wind that blows no one
good" The i'll wind that is prevailing
in the anthracite coal fields is likely
to blow good for the fuel oil producers.
The strike of the miners, the smallness
of the coal supply and the advancing
prices of fuel are bearing directly and
hard upon many consumers. Should
the strike be continued for any con-
siderable length of time many indus
tries would be paralyzed. Many con-
sumers, therefore, are casting about
for means of Kidding themselves of
dependence upon coal as a fuel, and
oil seems to offer them a way out of
the difficulty. 1t seems almost impos-
sible to secure anything like uniform
ity in price or supply of COAL There
is no telling when a strike will occur
at the mines, to disarrange business.
Conditions, it would appear, are less
settled in the coal mining industry
than in any other branch of endeavor.
There is just about always trouble
somewhere in connection with it.
Much has been said and done recent
ly towards the adoption of oil as a fuel
in mills and factories and by railroads
and steam vessels. The Southern Pa
. cific Railroad has had several of it's
locomotives equipped with oil burning
furnaces, and the locomotives so
equipped are giving satisfaction. 1t
will be recalled, as a matter of fact,
that oil as a fuel was used under some
of the boilers at the Chicago EXPOSE
ton, nine years ago. Since that time
great progress has been made in oil
burners, so that now it is claimed about
barrel of oil will give practically the
same steam energy as a ton of coal.
Oil burning therefore is not new, ex-
cept in development. One of the new
details of development, however, is of
great Importance and means much to
both consumers and producers of fuel.
1t is burner that can be used in any
ordinary furnace, and without remov-
ing the CRATE.
With this new burner there is no
need for costly furnace alterations. A
coal burning furnace can be converted
into an oil burner in a few hours and
at small cost and it can be recon
verted into a coal burner in as short
a time and with as little expense. Thus
the consumer is placed in the position
of being able to select his fuel at will
/ Should coal be scarce or unreasonably
/ high he can turn to oil, and vice versa.
1t seems the supply of Texas oil is
| practically assured. Capitalists are
building with that idea in view, at all
events. They are constructing tank
steamers and establishing storage
tanks at various points in an
ticipation of large and in
creasing demand for fuel oil.

battery, which he has now perfected
will inaugurate the era Of little auto
mobiles-vehicles about the equivalent
of the one horse buggy. These little
automobiles will be so cheap, that
every man with a moderate income can
afford to own one. He predicts that
the time is not far distant when the
horse will be abolished for commercial
purposes. Delivery wagons and busi-
ness vehicles of all kinds will be OPP
Grated with storage batteries. The
battery, he declares, can be used In
hundred ways, and will be found eco
nomical in all of them. 1t is sincerely
