Pend1etOn as a Delegate
at-Large.

The suggestion that Hon. Charles R.
Pendleton, editor of the Macon Tele-
graph, be sent as one of the delegates-at-
large from the state Of Georgia to the
next national Democratic convention is
sure to meet with hearty response from
all parts of the state.
Through virtue Of his conservatism
his splendid ability and his unfailing de-
votion to the best interests Of Democracy
Mr. Pendleton is deserving of any honor
that his party Dan bestow
We believe that in the selection of the
delegates at large as we'll as the district
delegates, i'll view of the uncertainties
now existing with regard to the Demo
cratic platform and the Democratic can
didate, that only men of the highest type
in the party should be selected to repre-
sent the views and wishes of the militant
Democracy Of the Empire State Of the
South
Democrats of all shades of opinion will
feel perfectly sure that the best interests
of the party are safe in the hands of a
man like Charles R. Pendleton. If Mr.
Pendleton desires to make the race we
feel assured that he will be elected, as he
should be.-Atlanta Journal.

The Twentieth Century
Behind,

We give ourselves credit for being very
clever in this twentieth century, and in
the line of invention, some wonderful
things have been done, but smart as we
are we are only copying some things
done more than thousand years ago,
So far as history goes, the Egyptians
we're the first inventors. They had in
cubators and Matched chickens artifcially
thousands of years before America was
discovered. They knew the I'm 5alrlitIg
usiness better than we have been able
to learn it, andEwere able to temper cop
per, an art which is entirely lost to us.
They understood agriculture remarkably
well and raised as good crops as can be
produced now. We are finding out some
things that have been forgotten for cen
turtles,

Mothers Living Hero.

Our little lad came i'll one day
With dusty shoes and tired feet;
His playtine had been hard and long
Out i'll the summers noontide heat;
I'm glad I'm holnep he cried, and hung
His torn straw hat up in the hall,
While in a corner by the door
He put away his hat and ball,
81 wonder why, his auntie said
This little lad comes always here,
When there are many other homes
AS nice as this and quite as near. y
He stood moment deep in thought
Then with the love-light in his eyes
He pointed where his mother sat,
And said: ''She lives here, that is why. ="
With beaming face the mother heard;
Her mother-heart was very glad,
A true, sweet answer he had given,
That thoughtful loving little lad
And we'll know that hosts of lads
Are just as loving, true and dear;
That they would answer as he did,
CTS home, for mothers living here ;"

The Practical Joke a Celebrated Man
TlsLyea om I0osterity.

The Practical Joke a Celebrated Man
Pluyed on 5'osterity.
One of the most famous Of postmor-
TEN jokes was that perpetrated by the
donor of the celebrated Soane museum
of pictures and other valuable objets
dart to England, the late Sir John
Soane, who died in 1887 In his wiz
Sir John made provision for the open
ing of three sealed cupboards on GER
tain specified dates in the presence Of
the trustees. In 1866 that is to say
alni3st thirty years after the death of
the testai6s, the first Of the mysterious
receptacles was with much ceremony
and breaking Of seals opened in the
presence of a committee of men, with
the then president of the Royal acad-
envy, Sir r. Grant, at their head. In
stead of a priceless treasure or some
evidence that would throw an entirely
new light upon some doubtful incident
in political history the contents of the
cupboard proved to be worthless ac-
counts, letters and stationery.
Twenty years passed by, and the in
terest that had smoldered after the
disappointment of 1866 was again
famed into flame at the prospect Of
breaking the seals Of the second cup
board, at which rite there were pres
ent among others Dr. Alfred Water
house, r. A.. and Sir Chen Dr. B. w.
Richardson. Like the cupboard mention
ed in the well known nursery rhyme, Sir
Johns second cabinet proved "bare"
of any sensation, the contents being
chiefly composed Of letters relating to
certain long forgotten family quarrels
that had not even the merit of being
interesting If some of those author
lied to be present at the opening Of
the third and last receptacle Of mys-
terry were dubious about the profit that
would accrue by letting the light of day
fall upon the contents thereof after
sixty years darkness one at least, Sir
B. w. Richardson. looked forward
with undated interest to that day in.
1896 when the last seal would be
broken and the mystery solved but he,
alas, died just two days before the
ceremony was performed, and the fact
that Sir John had played a practical
Joke upon posterity was duly confirm
ed by the presence of a collection OF
perfectly worthless letters and papers.
