THE EARTH'S MOTION.
Why We Do Not Feel the Worlds
Rapid Flight Through Space.

Why We Do Not Feel the Worlds
Rapid Flight Through Space.
We have no direct sensation Of the
earth's motion because of its absolute
smoothness and freedom from all jar
or vibration, and, as everything-land,
sea and airs carried along at the
same rate as ourselves, there is nothing
to afford us any evidence that we are
moving at all until we make reference
to something altogether detached from
the earth-as sun, moon or stars-and
even then, until reasoning and mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation are brought to bear,
1t is these bodies and not ourselves
which seem to move.
Gliding in a boat down smooth riy-
er it is often impossible to perceive
that we are moving except by refer
ence to objects on the banks, and even
then it is difficult to resist the impress
sion that they are in motion while we
are at rest.
The mere detail of speed does not
affect the question, and, although the
earth is rushing trough space at the
rate of eighteen miles a second, the
motion, infinitely smoother than that
of boat on placid water, is absolutely
imperceptible.

A GENTLE REPULSE.

OF an OmCc seeker
"There was an ignorant man." said
a senator, "who once applied to Lin

Lincoln for anything. 1t was neces-

pulsed him gently and whimsically
without hurting his feelings in this
way:

Five Thousand Distinct Languages.
Mr.. j. Collier is authority for the
statement that there are no less than
5000 distinct languages spoken by
mankind. The number of separate dia-
lects is enormous. There are more
than sixty Observation-Disclosures in Bra
zil, and in Mexico the Nahua language
has been broken up into 700 dialects.
There are hundreds in BOrneo. The
complexities are beyond classification
in Australia, and generally the num-
Der of dialects decreases with the in
tellectual culture of the population. II
there is an average Of fifty dialects
to every language we still have the
enormous total of 100000.

NEGROES FLOORING TO CITIES

The proportion of negro popula-
tion in cities and towns has largely
increased in the last ten years, The
Journal of Commerce, which is pub
lished in Richmond, Va, has been
making an investigation along this
line. and says that in 1890 the cen
sus showed $40, 991 living in cities
in the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas
and Texas, while in the same states
4345. 315 lived in rural districts.
The census of 1900 shows 7O9,7
living in cities and 4,898,57l living
in the country.
The southern cotton belt extends
from Norfolk, Va, southwark and
westerly to Austin, Tex. This ter
ritorv embraces a varied character
of country and diversity of soil.
The area covers nearly 300, 900, 600
acres, and its yield represents
America s most valuable agriculture
al product. This immense crop is
cultivated almost entirely by the
negro population. and the migratory
tendency of the negro to the city is
becoming one of the most serious
questions cotton growers have to

1t is being charged that Secretary
Taft trip to the Philippines is a
big junket, and some of his friends
have come to his defense with the
statement that the members of con-
gress and other guests will bear
their own expenses, with the eXcep-
ton of transportation. OF course
the expenses of Secretary Taft and
his clerks will be paid by the gov
eminent, and the chances also are
that the government will pay the
expenses of the daughter of the
white house. The matter of fact is
that Secretary Taft is going to have
a vacation at government expense.

MAKES HIS BOW.

Hon. Pope Brown, chairman OF
the Georgia railroad commission,
made positive announcement in
Sundays papers Of his candidacy
for governor next year. Mr..
Browns card, which is a brief one,
is addressed to the people Of Geor-
gia. He merely states that it is
due his friends to let them know at
this time that he will be a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
governor in 1906, and that when his
term as railroad commissioner eX-
pires in October next he will make
a plain, explicit and definite dec
laration of the principles for which
he will stand and the policies which
he will advocate.
Mr.. Brown has been prominent
before the people of the state for a
number of years, both as a public
official and a leader among the far
ners. and there is little doubt that
he will have a large and aggressive
following.

Political History Reviewed.

From the Americas Times Recorder
The Dawson News says: THE Al
bany Herald thinks it unjust to Mr..
Hoke Smith to intimate that he ever
occupied the attitude of candidate
for United senator against Mr.. Crisp.
While Mr.. Smith made no formal an
nOuncement Of his candidacy it was
generally understood and believed by
nine-tenths of the people of Georgia
that he had the matter under serious
consideration, and never decided not
to be candidate until he met Mr..
Crisp in Joint debate in the Herald )
home town. There is no doubt that
had Mr.. Smiths speech and the views
he expressed on that occasion been
differently received he would have lost
no time in getting into the race.
If Editor Rainey will Just put on his
thinking cap he will doubtless recall
the happenings of that memOra be
Joint debate in Albany.
The gold standard hosts from Thorn
as, Dougherty, Brooks, Lowndes and
surrounding country had gathered in
Albany by the thousands. The streets
thrOnged with them, their shouts and
cheers for "Cleveland and HOke
Smith were heard from every quar-
ter. This, however did not dampen
the ardOr of Mr.. Crisp's friends and
supporters, for though outdistanced
in numbers they bore the brunt Of that
fight like true veterans. But it was a
field day for Hoke Smith, and if his
speech and the views he expressed
on that occasion had been as favOra-
bly, received in other sections of GeOr-
Ola as in Albany MIR. Smith certainly
would have lost no time in getting in
that senatorial race, even were he not
really in it that day.
The editor of the Time5-RecOrder
was on the ground and was near Mr..
Crisp all day, as he was a very sick
man at that time and we say without
fear of contradiction that but for the
generous hospitality of our gallant
good friend, Hon. Henry Mcintosh,
and our genial host, the lamented
Capt. Richard Hobbs, together with
the Americas crowd present, we would
have felt mighty lonesome. 1t will be
remembered that DOugherty county
went for Mr.. DuBignOn against Mr..
Crisp in the senatorial election.

ARE NOT WANTED.

It is commented on as a strange
fact that despite the advantages the
southern states offer those who
come to the United States from the
old world in search of homes the
percentage of foreign immigration
to the south has been nominal. The
records of the last census show that
but per cent of persons OF foreign
birth were residents of the south
Atlantic and gulf states, and not /
per cent of these had come directly
to their new homes from their native
countries.
The southis no doubt much better
off without the foreign ritf-rai that
drifts over to this country. Very
few ofthem make desirable citizens.
AS Captain Purse said in address
ing an bingham county audience;
eve must look to the family as
the only sure and safe source OF
doubling the population OF Geor-
gia. The state IN thaI case
will need no immigration bureau,
for active agents, unsalarled ana
often unappreciated, will be dong

TO FORCE A FIGHT.

After a stop Of several days at
Kamranh bay Admiral Rojestvens-
ky's feet of warships have resumed
their journey, and unless Admiral
Togo succeeds in keeping his vessels
out of the way the big sea battle
may be looked for any day now.
The opinion is growing among naval
experts that Togo will not meet
Rojestyensky in an open fight if he
he can avoid it, and if there is a
battle the latter will have to force
it: All reports indicate that to be
his intention.
