The watchful student of state poll

tention to the fact that large per-

He is bold enough to doubt the sim

that individual ambition is faulty

wasting the body of It's sinking fund
to partially meet an enormous deficit
and an admitted in ability of successive
legislatures to provide against this
condition it is time that some issue
should be made by the people to tn

SKELETON OF A GIANT.
An Immense One Unearthed i'm
New Mexico.

A Las Vegas, New Mexico, dispatch
says: Legend has it that the vicinity
of Chapento and Mesa Rlca was peo-
pied by race of giants centuries ago,
and evidence to substantiate the story
has been found on the ranch of Don
Luciano Quintano. Five men several
days ago began to excavate at place
on his ranch marked by two pieces of
rough hewn white building stone about
fifteen feet apart. They had dug
about i've feet between the stones
when skeleton was unearthed. 1t is
we'll preserved. The giants chest
measurement could have been no less
than eight feet. The lower jaw bone
was all that remained of the head. 1t
is massive piece, and in it was huge
tooth. The fore arm measured four
feet and the length must have been
about eight feet. The skeleton will be
sent to the Archaeological Society at

STILL HAVE THE SCALE.
Will Remain as Long as We Have
Peach Trees.

State Entomologist w. M. Scott has
Just returned to Atlanta from visit
to the peach orchards of southwest
Georgia. He was indignant over the
statement recently accredited to him
by an afternoon paper that the San
Jose scale had about been eradicated
from Georgia.
"The scale will always exist in Geor-
gia as long as there are peach trees, "
he said, "but we are succeeding in
keeping it down and preventing it
from spreading. We have just receiv-
ed five carloads, or 10000 gallons, of
crude petroleum with which the trees
are being sprayed -
Mr.. Scott says there is surprising
ly large number of buds on the trees
in view of the good peach crops of the
last two seasons, and if there is no
trouble from cold weather and frosts
there ought to be another good crop
this years.

MIXED ON HUSBANDS.
A Gwinnett County Woman Has
Queer Experience.

The Lawrenceville News says: A
queer case came to light in Gwinnett
county last week.
Mrs. Johnson was living quietly
with her husband near Trip, when
the man whom she had irst mar
ried suddenly appeared on the
scene and claimed her as his lawful
wife. The mans name was Cicero
Simpson, who married her as Miss
Mooney in Hall county several years
ago and moved with his bride to Ten
nessee. He deserted her about four
wears ago and she moved back to the
county of her nativity. Later she
came to Gwinnett and, supposing her
husband to be dead, linked her desti-
MES with Mr.. l.. p. Johnson and the
couple was very much surprised when
the former husband appeared on the
scene last Thursday. Simpson said he
hailed from Virginia on his second
coming. When he reached here Simp
son heard that his wife had married,
but would not go directly to see her.
Coming in sight of the house he sent
word to the woman that he was out
there, and the message was returned
for him to come into the house. He
did so and said he only wanted his
children. Johnson said the woman
was Simpsons wife and he must take
her also. She went off with husband
number /, but he brought her back
later and told johnson to keep her.
He refused to give her shelter and
the woman left with her first lover.

ODDITIES OF PROHIBITION.
Ingenious Methods to Conceal
Booze i'm Maine.

A little more than year ago the
Rev. Mr.. Pearson was elected sheriff
of Portland, Me-, upon a platform call
ing for strict enforcement of the pro-
hibition law. Recently the reverend
sheriff made report upon his first
years work. Oddly enough he takes
especial pleasure in pointing to the
sum of fines collected-some $4,000
rather than to the suppression, or re.
preston, of the traffic. Indeed. he
does not claim that the sale of spirit
uous LIQUORS has been'entirely stopped,
only that the law is more generally
obeyed now than heretofore, owing to
the vigilance of himself and his five
deputies. Portland is city somewhat
smaller than Savannah, the last CEN
sus giving it few more than $4,000
population, nearly all white.
An amusing.and at the same time
interesting feature of Sheriff Pearson's
report deals with the devices employed
to evade the prohibition law. He finds
the yankee ingenuity, as he calls it,
has been remarkably busy in devising
means for the concealing of whisky and
other liquors. In drug store he found
a wonderful faucet, which turned to
the right would give out only "soft"
drink, but turned to the left its flow
was rye whiskey. \ man Lad con-
structed a coil of pipes to tit around
his body, and the coil contained his
stock in trade of whiskey. A woman
had cradle so arranged that she
could rock her baby in it, but If a Gus
toner for drink happened along she
could produce any one of half dozen
kinds of beverages from under the lit
tie innocents resting place. The sheriff
also found several mattresses whose
chief filling was whiskeY and Deer. A
carpenters tool chest was found to be
three-fourths false, the false part COM
prising a whiskey reservoir. Another
devise was tank constructed 80 as
to be worn with long coat" Hollow
canes, umbrella handles and the like
very numerous and iugeniously devils
ed. China "nest eggs" filed with
whiskey were sold, and beer dispensed
from milk cans was common thing.
These were few of the subterfuges
resorted to for the purpose of evading
the law. In addition, there were also
the usual second story and cellar blind
tigers that are to be found probably
wherever prohibition laws are on the
statute books. Sheriff Pearson sal I
he had no doubt he would be able to
control the cellar and upstairs traffic,
but feared the pocket peddlers would
be very hard to elimlnate.-Sayannah
