Overcoming sIlpperlness

During the recent cold snap in New
York, when the pavements were coated
with ice and so slippery that 1t was
almost impossible to walk on them,
Columbia freshman was very late in
reaching his classroom to attend re-
citation. The instructor was naturally
indignant and demanded an explana-
ton. The freshman insisted that his
tardiness was due entirely to the slip
perry condition of the streets and not
to any dilatoriness on his part.
every step l took I slipped back
two." said he.
IF that is so. how did you get here
at all then?"
"oh, 1 fixed that, sir; just turned
around and walked the other way"

Deliuhts of Equality

almost every man is a loser by be-
ing elevated above the sphere to which
he is habituated," said the late Senator
Morrill, in discussing the subject of
equality. "The word equal is used
very freely in America, but its real
meaning is little understood. AS
condition of cold fact, an equal is that
which a man of talent will seldom find
among his superiors.
when the Duke of Orleans proposed
to, make Fontenelle perpetual president
of the Academy of Sciences his reply
was:
"'Take not from me, my Lord, the
delight of living with my equals

Except In Invasion

During the war with spain a meet
ing was held in a western state to
organize regiment of volunteers, at
which Mai Hersey was present to help
along the enthusiasm. In drawing up
the conditions under which the men
were to volunteer the secretary said
to the chairman:
II have modelled these conditions on
a copy have Of those used for volun-
teers in England. Shall insert this
clause that the regiment is not to
serve out Of this country?"
"Oh certainly put that in," said the
major, who is something Of a wag.
Certainly they are not to serve out
of the courtry-except in case Of In
vasion."

Spare the Rod

Senator Billy Mason tells the fol-
lowing story, which he received from
schoolmaster in an out-of-the-way
western town. One day a pupil COM
planned of his eyesight. and the teach
er, who was something of an amateur
oculist, examined him and afterward
sent note to the boys father, some-
what as follows: "Your son shows in
dications of astigmatism. I think his
case should be attended to at once"
The next day the boy arrived at school
with a sealed note from his father. 1t
read as follows: Dear Sir: Thank
you for your letter. Whip it out Of
him. Yours truly, -"

AnaIo-American Incident

This story is told by ]. P. Carter Of
the American embassy In London. 1t
was fashionable. function, and the
orchestra had been playing somewhat
loudly. A we'll known Englishman was
discussing the friendly relations of
England and America with very at
tractive American woman. The music
stopped suddenly and in the silence
which followed the Englishman was
heard to remark in heartfelt accents:
"And the more we know one another
the more dearly we must love one
another" Both hastened to offer ex-
plantations as to the entirely political
character of their remarks, but nothing
could stop the laughter of the delighted
audience.

An Expensive Bouquet

Joseph Chamberlain is known to have
other interests than protection. He
has long been a collector Of orchids,
his collection being one of the finest

Paris he saw a rare orchid, the du-

collection with the idea that 1t was
the only one Of it's kind in the world.
He asked the price of the flower and

MAKE HASTE SLOWLY.

The city council has task before it in the
ditchng of the low places in this city that will
call for the most earnest deliberation. To do
the work properly will call for great outlay of
money, and to do it anything less than thor
ough1y will be worse than useless. The Enter
prise is in favor of all practical measures that
will better the sanitary condition of the city, and
if a sewer system is financial impossibility for
the present, or near future, then we believe the
work should be done at any reasonable cost.
But, the money that will be expended in this
ditchng if done effectively, would go quite a
ways toward sewer system.

that the rich wiregrass lands of South Georgia

ENACT THE COUNTY LEGISLATION.


ENACT THE COUNTY LEGISLATION.
From The Atlanta Journal
The legislature owes it to the people of the
state to despatch the pending new county legis-
1aton at the present session of the general as
sembly. At the present session means within
the next eleven days.
The situation is serious one. Eight new
counties are to be created. Their creation in
wolves the territorial integrity of no less than
two dozen existing counties. Ever since the
legislature met Atlanta has been filled with the
people who have come here to look after the in
terests of their various communities. Each
has its opponents from at least two or three of
the counties out of which the new counties are
to be created.
In the aggregate the time and industry of
hundreds of citizens are being devoted to the con-
tention now centered at the state capitol. The
expenses of maintaining bureaus for or against
each definite proposition must aggregate thous-
sands and thousands of dollars.
Is the time and effort and money of these
citizens and communities to be wasted in
fruitless endeavor? Is the county legislation to
be enated at the present session or not?
Naturally these scores Of citizens, and the
want to see something done. They want the
fate of each proposed county settled in one way
or another, and settled as soon as possible.
They have other Interestingly cannot afford to
see the weeks stretching into months, with no
defnate action taken.
Quick action is possible. There are just
two other matters of vital import before the leg
is1ature at present-the tax act, and the gen.
era1 appropriation bill With these out of the
way the Legislature is free to act upon the county
bill. Eleven days is plenty of time, if the legis-
lature will use it,
For the assembly to adjourn without hav-
ing taken some action would be calamity to
those thousands of citizens vitality interested
It would mean that the next session of the legis-
1ature would open in chaos and confusion again,
and would be practically in state of deadlock,
so far as the transaction of important business
is concerned throughout the session.
The is too much involved, look at it from
what standpoint you will, for any failure to
utilize the time at the assembly, disposal for the
transaction of this most important public busi-
ness to get off without vigorous general condem-
nation. We urge the Legislators, as they value
the good will of their constituents, to delay no
longer but to settle the fate of these proposed
counties, in one way or the other, at once.
