Dublin, Ga, March 1O.-The Demo-
cratic Executive Committee from the
Sixteenth Senatorial District met in
this city this morning for the purpose
OF taking some action in reference to
putting in the field a Democratic can

term of the late Senator George S.
Rountree. A resolution was unani-
mously passed deplOring the death of
JudgS Rountree and expressing SYM
pathy to his bereaved family.
1t was stated to the committee by
the members from Emaneul that it is
not probable that there will be any OPP
position to the candidacy of Hon. r. J.
Williams, all of the various factions
from Emanuel having united on him.
Feeling so sure that he will have no
opposition it was not deemed necessary
to order primary. A resolution was,
therefore, passed instructing Chairman
Mitchell, if no one has announced for
the vacancy by March 90 to declare
that Hon. r. j. Williams is the nomi-
nee: In the event opposition should de-
Velop the committee is to meet at
Adrian on March "a for the purpose of
taking such further action as the in
terests of the party may demand. The
resolution as passed strongly Endorsed
the rotation system and acknowledged
that Emanuel county is entitled to fur
niSh the senator to fill the vacancy.

Senator Cullom had overlooked the
fact that the Senate was in legislative
session, and was proceeding to discuss
the document, when Senator Allison
moved an executive session. During
the last Congress Senator Cullom was
very careful to see that the treaty was
not discussed except in executive ses-
sion and he showed signs of embar-
rassment as he promptly acquiesced in
the motion to close the doors. which
was done eight minutes after conven-
ing.

In China it is nothing out of the way
for a criminal under sentence Of death
to secure, at price, a substitute to die
for him at the hands of the execu-
toner. A remarkable case Of substi-
tuition is reported from Foo-Chow.
When certain childless criminal there
was adiudged to death his family met
to see what should be done. The SUI
perstition of the land ran counter to
a man dying without leaving a son. at
least, to worship him after death.
The criminal had a brother who had
so many sons that he had no fear of
being left without worshipers. The
family decided to put him in as a sub
stitute for the ehildless one, so that
the latter could live on to get son.
The military mandarin concerned was
bought over. the criminal was set free
and his guiltless brothers head was
cut off.-London Chronicle.

Women Diamond cutters.

An important part of the craft Of
diamond-cutting is now done almost
exclusively by women. The first proc
ess of diamond splitting that is, sep
arating a large stone full of flaws into
several fiawless stones, is done by men.
Women then handle the diamonds,
which they round with little pearl
shaped tools tipped with diamonds. re-

monds are so small that several hun
dred of them weigh less than a carat,
the work is very hard on the eyes. The
last process by which the stones are
facetted is done by steam.-Jewelers

"TRuTH AND A WOMAN"
"An Intellectual Icicle and Foolish
GirI- Would BE Better Title for
Anna Robson Browns Novel.


Anna Robson Browns Novel.
There is q certain morbidness in Anna
Robeson Browns novel, Truth and
Woman, Gerbert S. Stone &; Co.. Chicago.
which materially weakens its appeal to
healthy minded folk. Its keynote is the
hero-worship love of a rather weak and
superficial young woman for grim sort
of atheistic Rochester. who places Truth
as he sees it-above such foolish things as
human love.
II is a foregone conclusion that nothing
happy can come of the queer romance be-
tween Mary Lansland and Arthur Geraint
The girl for all her willingness to accept
the mans views of disbelief. Is grounded In
respect for religious faith ard essentially
sincere in her conviction of the God Of the
Bible But she is h.rtatious little lion
hunter. and Geraint fascinates her imagina-
ton. so she leads him to think that she IS
as advanced he. and. therefore. the
souls mate for whom he has been seek
ing.
This somber Arthur Geraint, however. is
the sort of Intellectual icicle not to be
fooled by a young woman on the assump-
ton that he is merely human man. When
he discovers that Mary Langland Is so
primitive as to be religious in her soul, he
walks out of her life. There are better
things than the honest love OF woman-the
Truth for instance. as it appears to the
eyes OF an extremely StII-couiiueIit souilS
fellow who prides himself on repudiating
the wisdom of the ages that have led up
to the great event of his own birth. So the
compalcant Geraint goes away from Mary
Langland. and all the Kings horses and all
the Kings men can't draw him back to her
side again. It is a pathetic little story,
with pitiful ending-but what can one ex-
| pect when a sheer woman, and folly-strick-
en-, is glamoured by the pose" Of fish,
biooded man. who cherishes the conceit
| that he is superior 10 man in his control of
his emotions?
