Nothing speaks better for a city

Dread Pest Ruins
Army OF Russians
Cholera and Typhoid Said to Be Killing Men
by Hundreds at Harbin-The Arriving
Soldiers are Walking Skeletons.

st. Petersburg, April 8.-The
Japanese are not the only enemies
the Russians have to fight.
They have cholera and typhoid
fever to contend with, as we'll as
the armies of Japan.
Advices received here from
Hardin state that the two diseas-
es named are epidemic there and
that hundreds of troops have
been stricken.
The new levies are the greatest
sufferers. These men reach
Hardin after fge-thousand-mile
journey in terribly emaciated
condition and fall easy victims to
cholera and typhoid.
MANY RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES.
Hundreds of the troops who
are arriving at Hardin from
European Russia are suffering
from frostbitten noses, feet and
hands, It is no uncommon

thing to meet soldiers on the
streets of Hardin whose noses
have dropped off as a result of
frost bite. Of course the
cholera and typhoid, which is
raging, finds easy marks in
soldiers whose strength has been
Slapped by the trials they had to
undergo on the journey to
Hardin.
FEARFUL MORTALITY
BECAUSE OF CHOLERA.
The mortality, according to
advices received here, is very
great, and is said to be increas-
ing daily. Entire regiments are
reported unfit for service.
The military authorities here
express much concern over the
reports from Hardin. They
fear that unless the cholera is
checked it will render the
Russian armies unable to meet
the Japanese in the field.

CHIEF JUSTICE SIMMONS i
ENDORSED BY. LAWYER
State Committee Of Attorneys Issue Add
Urging His Reelection as Chief
Justice Of Supreme Court.

The following address in be-
half of Chief Justice Simmons is
prepared by a committee repre-
senting attorneys throughout
the state, who are zealously in
teresting themselves in behalf of
Justice Simmons.
The committee signing this adj
dress is made up from prominent
attorneys in every part of the
state.
The address is as follows:
To the Democratic Voters of
Georgia:
At the approaching primary
election which is to be held on
the 10th day of April next, Hon.
Thomas ]. Sim mons, the present
chief justice Of the supreme
court of Georgia, yielding to re-
quests from a large number of
democrats from all parts of the
state who are engaged in and
represent all the various profess
sional, business and industrial
pursuits, has consented to be-
come a candidate for reelection
to that high and responsible ju-
dicial position. Since there may
be many citizens of the state
with whom Chief Justice Sim
mons has not the pleasure of a
personal acquaintance, the I'M
dersigned, acting for themselves
and as we'll on behalf of a large
mum Der of lawyers throughout
the state, deem it not inappro-
pirate to say that Judge Sim
mons, measured by any standard,
ranks among the best, the pur-
est, the ablest men whom Geor-
gia has produced. From his
youth up he has been a consis-
tent and devoted memb Der of the
church. In his young manhood
he gave the best four years of
his life to the service of his coun-
try, and as confederate soldier,
fought his way up from the
ranks of the private to the rank
of a colonel. He has been thro-
ughout his whole life absolutely
true to the best traditions of our
southern land. Until called to
the bench he was foremost in the
battles of the democracy, and
was one of the most commanding
figures inthe democratic party of
the state during the trying hours
of the reconstruction. Called to
the bench twenty-five years ago,
his career has indicated the
wisdom of his call by the demo-
Gratis of Georgia. He is pro-
foundry learned in the law, and
the deep research and ripe
scholarship apparent in his opin-
ions render him an ornament to
the supreme bench of your state.

the school cannot build up per-
feet bookkeepers, etc.
1t is the honest opinion of the
writer of this article, that time
spent in school before the senior
year on bookkeepingis time vast
ed. This is wherein the business
man fails to recognize the nature
of the material the school has to
work upon.
AS verifcation of the truth
of the view upheld by the writer,
consider the stenographers of
this town. l will warrant that
they are all beyond their teens,
and if successful, are solid wo-
men of business and experience
and graphing powers.
We also promised to show
wherein the school is at fault.
What is the educational value
of Latin? I never discuss this
question with my boys and girls,
but with those who think I can
make it clear. Don't be mis1ed
by prejudice, because I am going
to condemn Latin!
The fault with it is Just this
it carries the mind off onto rea-
sonings and discourses on seni-
tive, dative and accusative that
have no connection with daily
life.
Did I say no connection?
But it does have connection
with daily life in so far as it de-
velops the power of observation
sufficiently to distinguish the
genitive from the dative. This
is what arithmetic does, and read
ing. But arithmetic has the
added value of being practical
for the days work.
Now, grammar is a very diff
cult subject, and simply is in
comprehensive unless compared
with foreign language. But to
read, and to read inte1ligently, is
a difficult thing; but till one
strikes the mystery of a foreign
language he does not appreciate
the value of his own tongue.
We maintain then that Latin
ought to be re1egated as dead
language, and that German and
French ought to be substituted;
for we need the mystery, per-
plexity and difficulty of foreign
language in order to comprehend
the beauty, and to sound the
depths of our own language.
| We have tried to show in this
paper that commercial courses,
except for the graduating class,
are pedagogically unsound, and
that the medieval study Of
Latin ought to be banished to
make room for the modern
|
