Savannah is very glad to have North
ern automobile owners come down here
with their machines in winter and en-
joy the fine climate and fine roads.
They are always welcome, and Sa-
vannah will do what she can to make
them enjoy themselves. Meanwhile,
would it not be a good idea to have a
little clearer understanding with re-
spect to the rights and privileges of
horseless carriages on our highways
and byways? 1t is desirable, of course,
to give them all the rights and privi-
leges consistent with the rights of the
people at large, but it is important
that a limit of speed and other safe
guards should be arranged. AutoEio-
billing should be encouraged, but not
permitted an absolutely free hand.

Now, really. who captured Aguin-
aldo? Funston did the work, of
course, but Macarthur declares he
made the plans and is responsible for
the whole thing. In view of the pre-
cedent of the Santiago affair, where
Schley did the work and Sampson got
the glory and the prize money. it
looks as though the claims of Fun

Chicago lived up to her sobriquet
of the Wind City last year. According
to the Weather Bureau, the city blew
out straining joint or turning a hair.
and this was merely the atmospheric
wind, not that blown by the newspa-
pers, poets, authors and travelling
statesmen of Chicago.

Some ten days ago the Elizabeth IN.
j. Presbytery had before it for exam
nation for license to preach two young
men named Wright and Lowell. The
presbytery, however, struck a snag
when the young men announced their
disbelief in Adam and Eve, and ad-
journed for a week to give the candi-
dates an opportunity to think over the
matter and correct their opinions. The
other day the presbytery reassembled
The young men still wanted licenses,
but they had not changed their minds
respecting Adam and Eve. Their ex-
aminers, however, were apparently Of
broader mind than at the former ses-
sion, and Notwithstanding the opinion
of the young men that the Garden of
Eden might have been populous. if in
deed Adam and Eve were not myth
cal persons, the licenses were issued
and the doubters are now full-fledged
Presbyterian ministers.

President Roosevelt may be civil
service reformer. but he has not yet
risen to the point where he can realize
that public offices are the property of
the people, and not merely political
assets of the party in power.

Primary elections were held recently
in several South Carolina counties, in
which there was something of a test
of strength as between the Tillman
and McLaurin followings. In practi-
cally every instance the Tillman
forces were victorious. The leading
papers of the state seem to regard
this as assuring the retirement of Nc
Laurin upon the expiration of his term
in the Senate. and there is a revival
of speculation as to who will be his
successor. The opinion seems to be
that Tillman will have the naming of
the man, and that his choice is Rep
resentative Latimer. Meanwhile those
who watch Carolina politics are quite
sure that McLaurin will land on his
feet with something equally as
good" The Charleston Post says that
by the time of McLaurin's retirement
from the Senate there will probably
be two federal judicial districts in
South Carolina and Judge Brawley
will likely have a colleague of the
name of McLaurin"

An interesting case was tried in a
Sixteen dealers in bologna sausages
were the defendants. 1t was devel-
oped in the testimony that the sau-
sages were preserved with boracic
acid and that the meat filling was
padded out with potato flour. The
dealers swore that they had purchased
the sausage, precisely as they had sold
it, from one of the packing houses be-
longing to the so-called meat trust.
The dealers were all found guilty and
fined $50 each with $500 costs. The
fines and costs were paid by the pack
ing house from which the sausage had
been purchased.

A billion-dollar meat trust is among
the possibilities of the near future, ac-
cording to a Chicago dispatch. 1t is
said that should the government sue
coed in its movement against the al

great packing houses would take steps
to form a combination after the man
ner OF the billion-dollar steel corpora

These days when there is furry
or a squeeze in Wall street, the peo-
pie always look for John w. Gates
at the bottom of it. Gates tackles any
thing in sight that promises profits.
He squeezes a railroad system, or the
lard market, or wheat, or butter, with
equal neatness and dispatch. The fact
seems to be that Mr.. Gates has got
the Wall streeters ratified, and when
they see him buying or selling a GER
tain thing they fall over themselves
getting in or getting out.

In our cable dispatches a day or two
ago 1t was stated that Gear Nicholas
would probably within a short time
make a announcement giving the
Russian empire a constitution on the
lines of the scheme drawn up some
years ago by Melikoff and approved
by the present Cars father. This
scheme, which was submitted TO Gar
Alexander in 1881, provided for a rep
resentative assembly, to be chosen by
the mobiles, the cities and the rural
magistrates. The assembly was to
consider questions of agrarian laws,
including taxation and the purchase
of lands by peasants. The acts of the
assembly, however, were to be review
ed by the ministerial council, and the
Car was to remain clothed with his
absolute power. Alexander's death,
however, put an end to the reform
scheme.

THE FIGHT CARRIED INTO THE
SENATE

The protest of the Cotton Exchange
against the appointment of a colored
man as collector of the port is to be
carried into the Senate. The Georgia
senators are to be asked to use their
influence to prevent the confirmation of
Col. Deveaux. 1t has been made plain
that it is impossible for colored man
to fill the office as it should be filled for
the best advantage of the city and
port. To persist in putting into the po-
sition person not acceptable to prac-
tically the whole business interest is to
penalize and hamper the city Having
begun the fight along this line, the
Cotton Exchange is only consistent in
determining to prosecute it to the end.
And it ought to prosecute it vigorously

Atlanta, Jan. 1.-THE University
council held a meeting here to-day.

University presiding. The heads of all
the different branches of the State Uni

cided to publish general catalogue

the state in closer touch with these
institutions. 1t is also probable that all

descriptions of the University and each
OF its branches, and this by courtesy
OF state School Commissioner Glenn
