YNDlIR the new charter the re-
corder has many duties and
responsibilities, but we are
aware of no clause in that
instrument which makes him the GUS
todian of the morals Of councilmen. The
resolution OF common council, request
ing the recorder to investigate current
rumors of bribery in councils and to
take such action as the result of his
investigation shall warrant" is admir-
able in purpose but as we view it, un-
wise in method. The relations between
the executive and legislative branches
are such that it would be out of the
question to expect the recorder to con-
vert himself into Il detective bureau
with view to scrutinizing the char
acters of councilmen. Each branch Of
councils must carry the responsibility
of it's own membership until the people
make changes at the polls or until evi-
dence in legal form and through the
ordinary channels forces a vacancy.
The fact that charges. or rather, in
timations of the corrupt use of money
in connection with the passage of the
recent gas ordinance through councils
have been printed and gossiped about
is ample warrant for Il thorough inves-
tigation: on that point there can be no
disagreement. If boodling has re-es-
tablished itself as an industry in coun-
ellis the fact cannot too soon be made
known, with names, dates and amounts
l'ut 1t is not wise or possible to invest
the recorder with the duty of sitting in
judgment on the membership of a CO.
ordinate branch. AS well expect the
president of the United States to in
Vestigate the charges. which every now
and then are current, of improper influ-
ence among senators and representa-
tives
If any citizen has knowledge of the
unlawful use of money in connection
with the promotion of the late gas
ordinance the place for him to take it

While it is true that the new
rter does not take away from the
recorder the authority which the mayor
had under the old system to hold police |
court, the fact that it provides a separ-
ate machinery for the trial of police |
cases Is ground for assuming that # |
contemplates that the recorder should |
be essentially an executive and not n |
judicial officer. But even though rho
power to act were clear under the law.
its use by the recorder would be mex
pedient. There are tribunals fully
equipped to perform such service With
out bringing into peril of confusion the
relations between coordinate branches
of the city government. This is SO OBJ
Vious that we wonder it did not at once

already explained this plan, but in his

instructive interest. That is the Metro

notes, is "unpatronized by the corpor-
alton whose property it operates, pays
it's own bills. nurses it's own sick, buries
it's own dead on a system devised by q
board of trustees of its own election,
and gives in fact the cheapest and
promptest known insurance"
Mr.. Vreeland continues: During the

and instructive. are secured to mem

hundred books. and there are pool
tables and other means of recreation,
representing an outlay of about $S,OOO."
1t is only fair to President Vreeland
TO say that while he modestly keeps in
the background his part in bringing
this association into existence, it was to
his initiative and not to that of any
labor agitator that the association is
indebted for its existence. He framed
the idea, set it in motion and is in full
touch with the membership-not as a
boss trying to spy on his men, but as
an equal meeting with equals and in
ioieSl anu HedIty sympathy with their
efforts toward self-improvement
To be sure, the beneficial results pos
sible in such an organization of $4,000

The Doctors Trousers.

At an assemblage of charity workers,
at a settlement house on the east SIDE,
preparing for the fall campaign, Mr..
Calvin Brewster narrated a story OF
mendicant who very much needed
pair OF trousers. Remembering tnat
physicians were compelled to wear
high-grade clothing, he wandered up
above the piazza on 9th avenue ano'
observing the name OF a physician on saa' a
large silver plate on the door OF me, me
looking residence, he ascended the
steps and rang the doctors bell. An
elderly, sweet-faced lady came to the
door, and the impoverished caller said;
MADAM, I am very hard up and
have called to see if could obtain a
pair of the doctors cast-off trousers
The lady smiled at him and replied:
81 am the doctor."-New YORK

"They Say"

They say-ah. well, suppose they do,
But can they prove this story true:
Suspicious may arise from naught
But malice, envy. want of thought: ,,
Why count yourself among the they. " "
Who whisper what they dare not say:
They say-but why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse:
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue:
And it is a nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can:
They say-well, if it should be so.
Why need you tell the tale OF woe:
Will it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less:
Will it the erring one restore
Henceforth to ''go and sin no more:'
They say-oh. pause and look within:
Sc how thy heart inclines to sin:
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath 1t:
power.
Pity the frail. weep DER their fall
But speak of cook, or not at all:

New Use for Refined Paraffine Wax.

A new and important use for Refined
Parafine Wax seems to have been dis.
covered by prominent resident OF
Ohio, living near Lancaster, who had
two trees badly damaged by storm, one
being maple and the other an apple.
In each case large limb was broken
down from the trunk, but still attached
to it. The limbs were propped up and
fastened securely with straps, very
much as a broken leg might be fas-
tened with splints, and then melted re-
fined wax poured into and over all the
cracks. The surgical operation" was
entirely successful. The Paraffine pre-
vented the escape OF the sap, kept out
the rain and moisture which would have
rotted the trees, prevented the depre'
dations Of insects, and the limbs seem
thus far to be perfectly re.attached tc
the trees.

PIERCE HALL OF SCIENCES.
New and Modern Building nj Emory
College Nearing Completion.

New and Modern building al Emory
College Nearing Completion.
Emory College, oxford, Ga, Sept. "a.
Work on the Pierce Hall of Science
is being rapidly pushed, and the con-
tractors expect to be able to turn it
over to the authorities of the college
about Dec. /. When completed this
will be the best and most modern SCI
ence building in the state, and will be
equalled in the entire South only by
the one at Vanderbilt University.
The building will contain three sto-
rles and a basement, and will be used
for lecture rooms and laboratories for
physics and biology. Physics will oc-
cupy the lower floor and the basement,
and biology the two upper floors. Upon
each floor there is laboratory. lee
ture room, and private study for the
professor in charge.
The equipment of the building will
be the most modern. In the labora-
tories will be found apparatus for con-
Quoting every experiment in the cours-
es offered in these departments, and
the students will be required to make
original Investigations. Every expert
menting table will be fitted with gas
Gus gases, and all other apparatus
needed by the student. A unique fea-
ture of one of the physical laborato-
ries is that there is not a piece of iron
in the room. Even the windows weights
are lead, and the water pipes will be
of some other material than iron. This
room will be used for conducting ex-
periments with the compass and mag
netic needle. On account of the in
huence iron has in DETECTING the mag
netic needle from its true direction,
other metals had to be used in the
construction of this room. The room
used for experiments in light will be
made so that it can be instantly made
dark, and in another instant day light
let in again. In fact every improve
ment known to the scientific world
will be applied to the construction of
this building.
Capt ]. p. Williams of Savannah,
made possible the building of this Hall
of Science in Georgia. Being anxious
that Georgia should be able to offer as
good scientific instruction as could be
found in the country, he generously of
fered to give $4,000 toward the con-
struction of a modern science building,
provided the friends of the college
would supplement his gift with SIS.
This they readily did, and 1T is ex-
pected that this building will cost
about $4,000.

AFFAIRS AT GRIFFIN.
Carpenter Hurt-PrOf. Starner at the
Experiment station.

Griffin, Ga, Sept. PA. L. Scarbor-
ough, a carpenter employed in the coz
struction of the new oil mill in East
Griffin. had one of his legs broken yes
terday by a scaffold giving away and
dropping him TO the ground several
feet below. He is from Jacksonville.
Fla.
Prof H. n. Starnes. the newly elect
ed biologist and horticulturist Of the
Georgia Experiment Station, has arriv-
ed at the station and entered uron the
discharge of his duties. He filled that
position for several years previous to
resigning to accept the chair of agri-
culture in the State University, and is
we'll fitted for the place.
Superintendent L. H. Davis, of the
Griffin Electric Light and Water
Works, has received several cars of
50-foot poles which are to be used on
Hill street in place of the smaller ones
now doing service on that street. He
is also making other improvements in
the plant which will add greatly to it's
efficiency.
The high prices being paid for cot
ton in this market is causing Planters
for 80 miles around to bring their cot
ton to Griffin. The mills of this city
will require more cotton than would
ordinarily come here and to get the
amount necessary to keep them run
ming they pay more than other places
in this section, which draws the Deecy
staple for miles around.
