SECURITY.

A Marietta man dunned another the
other day on an account and the party
replied, II had security debt to pay
for friend and / am unable to pay you
what | owe you now, but will as soon
as l can" Here was debt that man
contracted for his own use that had to
go unpaid because another man acted
in bad faith and he had to pay his debt.
In the struggles of life it becomes
necessary sometimes to help brother
in distress by signing note, but we
thereby assume the debt without any
consideration except friendship, thus
doing an injustice to ones own family.
Going security is bad practice and
has brought ruin to many men.
A Marietta man in good circumstance
es, went another's security on large
amount, the man failed through mis-
fortune and the security had it to pay,
and it swept him off of his financial feet
and brought adversely, and he and his
family were the principal sufferers
and he had invested nothing but his
signature and good will.
Debt ia terrible task-master and if
you are out of debt stay out

AN EXPERIENCE.

Col Il. I. Nesbitt, who farms about
three miles from Marietta on the Pow
der Springs road. had an experience
that he will not soon forget. On Sat-
urday he went out to his barn and
hung his coat up and did some work
and then picked up his coat, threw it
across his arm, went to the house and
hung it up. Sunday morning he got
ready to go to church, put the coat on
and thought it was unusually heavy on
one side. He put his hand in the pock-
ct, and large snake, about three feet
long wound itself around his arm.
There was a commotion about that
time. The Colonel got lively and his
antics were in keeping with the situa-
ton. The snake happened to be a
chicken snake" and did no harm to
the genial Colonel outside of giving
him scare that distracted his mind
from church devotion that day.

DEATH OF MR.. ALBERT RAMBO.

a very sad death occurred here Thurs
day morning last, when the spirit of
Mr.. Albert Preston Rambo passed out
of its tenement of clay to the great
beyond" He had been sick for several
weeks with typhoid fever. He had
been in the employ of the Glover Ma
chine Company and boarded at MIR. e.
T. Crenshaw's residence on Atlanta
street, where he was taken sick with
typhoid fever. He was removed to the
home of his uncle, DR.. S. D. Rambo.
where he had every attention. but the
fell destroyer" of human life cut him
of in the prime of young manhood.
He was 81 years of age and most
excellent young man, popular and es-
teemed, of genial and happy dispo-
sition.
HIS remains were carried to his
former home, Button, Ca, by his
father, Col. q. L. Rambo, who had
been with him during his sickness.
The Marietta Rifles. OF which the
deceased was member. acted as escort
to the remains to the train on TIL urs-
day evening.
Our sincere sympathy is extended to
the bereaved family.

A FLOOD OF BILLS.

The legislature is being flooded by
new bills, some of general character,
but mostly local bills. Every conceiv-
able interest and community want are
being asked for legislative attention
and enactment. Some of these bills
are of apparently trifing nature and
there ought to be some other channel
through which these local bills should
flow to reach legal enactment, without
having to flood the legislature. If the
legislature will provide for these nu-
merous local measures to be handled
by the Superior Court on the same
basis of getting charters for corpora
tions, it would be saving of time and
money.
Biennial sessions of the legislature is
an imperative necessity to curtail need
less legislation. We have too many
laws. There are plenty of laws for the
government of the people What is
needed is an enforcement of these laws.
Many enactments are never heard of
after the legislature adjourns, but be-
come dead by common Indifference and
forgetfulness.
Give US fewer laws, and wise en-
forcement of those we have.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to regulate the speed of
automobiles. This we are sure will
not be objected to by any owner of an
automobile, as the reckless speed of
one operates to the injury of those who
keep within the bounds of safety. Let
there be proper caution in running
automobiles and thereby protect the
lives Of pedestrians as well as those
driving teams.

last full to the brm in 1892; but op this occa-
sion, contrary to rule, it emptied itself through
some subterranean channel in single night. Since
then the crater has shown little activity, though
red-hot lava flows from thirty to fifty feet IN length
are sometimes night at the bottom of the pit.
However, before proceeding to consider the new
evidence offered by kilauea and its attendant vol
canoes-evidence to me at 1east-let us briefly
review our existing knowledge concerning the moons
origin In order to understand it, must first
consider the mutual influences that the earth and
moon exert upon each other at the present time.
We all know that the moon creates a double tide
upon the earth. If there continents to
interfere and # the ocean deep enough, one OF
these tides would be always the side of the earth
toward the moon, and the other tide on the Oppo-
site side. There two tides, because IN one case
the water nearest the moon is pulled away from
the center of the earth and in the other case the
center of the earth is pulled away from the water
that is still farther from the moon. This pulling
force of the moon acts on the continents that are
opposite sides of the earth well the oceans
but the continents being solid cannot yield and
all in piece and only the oceans show the
effect of the pull.
AS the result of the tides and the earths rotation
large bodies of water are being constantly moved
about over the earths surface. We may indeed
consider the earth as a wheel steadily revolving
between two friction brakes, much as grlndstone
might do The result of this action is that the speed
of the earth's rotation is constantly diminishing
every day being little longer than its predecessor
That this may not occasion alarm among those who
work by the hour, l hasten to add that the total
1engthenng of the day that has taken place since
the beginning of the Christian amounts to only
a small fraction of a second. But this not al
ways So In the early days, before the oceans
appeared, and when large part of the solid earth
was molten matter. tremendous tides occurred in
this mass of LIQUID rock tides which much
efficient in this respect than those now IN existence
But if the earths rotation is being constantly
held back by this action of the moon, since action
and reaction are equal and opposite, the moon must
constantly be pulled forward in its orbit by the
earth. If the moons velocity is accelerated, Its
centrifugal force will be increased, and as result it
New-York tribune., 1905-11-12

year before, and since the action is obviously
continuous, in early times it is certain not only
that the earth revoved faster its axis but also
that the revolved nearer to the earths surface.
In those early DAYS, since the moon nearer,
the tides must have been higher, and therefore
effective that these actions must have been still
more pronounced than they at present. Carry
ing the process back therefore to its beginning
come to time when the moon must have laid close
to the earths surface, and when the earth must
have revolved exceedingly fast.
1t has been shown by Professor George H Dar-
wn son of the eminent naturalist that at the time
when the moon nearly touched the earth's surface
the earth must have revolved on it's axis In
about three hours, instead of once in twenty-fOur.
Now it can readily be shown that if the earth
to revove its axis in little less than three hours
portions of its surface near the equator would be
likely to fly away by centrifugal force.
AS the original cloudlets from which the earth
was formed coalesced and revoved about the sun.
they rotated upon their common axis, and they
condensed they must necessarily have rotated
and more rapidly. This rotation was doubt
less somewhat diminished by the action of the tides
produced in them by the sum- but we have seen
at a much later time when the moon was near the
earth they were revolving in about three hours
The presence of the moon must have already pro-
duced a retarding action, that little earlier,
before the appeared, they must have been
revolving still faster.
But this high speed could have been attained
in only a comparatively small body, a body, that
to say, little larger than the earth is at present
AS its speed of rotation increased its centrifugal
force must have increased Also consequently objects
near its equator must have become lighter and
lighter and the solar tides must have risen higher
and higher. Thus action went on, gradually becom-
ing more and more critical, until one day catas-
trophe occurred. catastrophe of such magnitude
as has never been seen upon the earth before or
since-hve thousand million cubic miles OF material
left the earth's surface never again to return to it.
Whether it all left at the action was pro-
1onged we do not know, but we may try in vain to
imagine the awful uproal and fearful volcanic
phenomena exhibited when planet was cleft IN
twain and planet was born into the solar
system. This the moons origin.
As to how long ago this separation occurred we
are entirely in the dark, but we know that as astro-
