At Winstead. Conn, on New Years
Day dozen young women of the best
families formed a self-improvement
club for 1903, pledging themselves not
to swear, not to use slang, not to lose
their tenlpers, not to gossip or say
mean things about folks, not to fidget.
fret or fuss so as to disturb others, not
to let day pass without doing some
thing to make others more comfortable,
not to laugh at the mistakes of others.
not to handle the truth carelessly, not
to say anything to make another I'M
happy. The penalty for breaking any
of these resolutions was placed at one
cent each, the accumulated fines to be
used at the end of the year for some
charitable purpose. At the end of the
first nine days one young woman had
paid into the treasury sixty-fve cents
and two others sixty-one cents each.

1t appears from statement just is
sued that the printing for the Depart
ment of Agriculture last year cost, all
told, about $1,000, 000 of which only
s107,5O0 was spent for the printing of
the farmers bulletins that go direct
to anybody on the farm who writes
and asks for them. The rest of the
money went for the printing of 1856 9TH
er publications of various sorts, ag-
gregating more than 10000, 900 copies.
The majority of these publications, the
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Ledger says. was stuff print
ed as so much dough for senators and
representatives to send out to voters
to curry their favor Continuing the
correspondent says: eff the items for
buncombe printing, for the franking
privilege and similar perquisites of
the representatives of the people in
Congress should be assembled it
would present spectacle of waste at
the expense of the taxpayers that
would be as appalling as it is monu-
mentally ridiculous.

Committees from the Northern and
Southern branches of the Methodist
Episcopal Church are now in session
in Nashville, for the purpose of ar
ranging a hymn book to be used by
both branches. The two hymnals now
in use contain about 1000 hymns. The
committee will Gull the best from each,
and submit it's work to joint conven-
ton. When these brethren get to
singing together. it will probably not
be a great while before they will be
praying and preaching and taking up
collections and supporting missionaries
together also.

The energetic gentlemen who COM
pose the State Board of Directors of
the Travellers Protective Association
have started a movement for the good
of the state that deserves to meet with
liberal support and be finally crowned
with success. AS will be seen from
the report in another column they
have started the ball rolling" for the
purpose of having Georgia fittingly
represented at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition in st. Louis. AS is very
we'll known, the state cannot make an
appropriation for a Georgia exhibit.
hence if we are to have place in the
great picture, it must be through the
efforts of patriotic citizens 1t prom
ises well for the enterprise that the
T. P. A. has taken it up. Whenever
the drummers set out to accomplish
anything they usually do it.

The other day at Newport Alfred
Vanderbilt, driving with a party in a
stylish four-in-hand brake. picked up
an aged and tired negro on the road
and carried him to his shanty after
tooling through the principal streets
of the resort. There is some specula-
ton as to whether the act was one
of genuine charity, in giving the old
man ride, or whether it was done in
a spirit of freakishness for the pur-
pose of attracting attention.

that one of the prosperous churches of

rural districts of Spain this treat
ment has been followed for more than
a hundred years.

Chile and Argentina have reached
the very sensible agreement to keep
down their naval forces. Each coun-
try will sell the ships It is now having
constructed abroad. and disarm sew

AS matter of fact the Southern coun-
tries have no need for large naval es-
adjustments. Our Monroe doctrine
gives them all the protection from for
eign foes thsy need, and they can fight
each other on land more handily and
cheaply than on water.
