Oconee County and the Dlspensary.

Oconee is the latest count, to vote
out the dispensary and the majority
of those voting was perhaps greater
than that in any other county yet
voting. Following the usual pro-
cedure constables will likely be- with
drawn from the county, and follow
ing the procedure further they will
soon be sent back again.--Columbia
Record.
The records of the United States
Court show that fifteensof Oconee
county's citizens were convicted of
violations of the revenue laws dur
ing the past term. 1t seem that the
business was popular there in spite
the State dispensary, and now
that the latter has been voted out,
it will hardly be fair to snatch up
the next man caught with jug and
start the cry that Oconee is breaking
faith with the spirit of prohibition

stopped the lega! sale of it. There
is strong public sentiment against
the sale of whiskey-stronger than
one might think-and it IL going to
tell. regard the voting out of the
dispensary as just the beginning of
the fight against whiskey, but with a
strong public sentiment behind us
think we will have no trouble in sup
pressing the sale of whiskey in our
county almost if not entirely. Any
way, We are in the fight, and if the
blind tigers start up in Oconee you
are going to see something that will
be worth watching"

Percy Pybus Gets Fine Of $3.50.
ATLANTA News, October 25.l

ATLANTA News, October %.
Percy w. Pybus, the automobilist
who was driving the machine that
struck and killed little Branch Lewis,
Jr., several weeks ago, this morning
pleaded guilty, under consent ver-
dict arranged between the Superior
Court jury and Solicitor Hill, to in
voluntary manslaughter in the CON-
mission of lawful act without due
caution and circumspection, and was
sentenced to serve twelve months on
the chain gang or pay a fine of $3.50.
The fine was paid. After hearing
short arguments by Attorneys James
l.. Key and Reuben Arnold, for the
defense, Judge Roam said:
"Every person and vehicle or
means of conveyance nae the privi-
leges of the streets, and every per-
son must look out for the safety and
rights of others. Law, like other
sciences, is progressive. The old
laws and old lawyers did not have to
consider things that we now have to
adjust. The young man has pleaded
guilty to misiemeanor and | will
have to fine him in accordance"
Branch Lewis, whose son was
killed, made the following statement
to the court before Pybus was fined j:
81 do not think the killing of my
son was intentional on the part of
young Pybus, but l do think it was
recklessness. What hurts me is
that he ran 95 feet after my child
was struck, when testimony of ex-
pert automobile drivers say that a
machine can be stopped within
rs feet from where the brakes are
applied. Then he did not stop to see
if my boy was hurt, but went on to
carry his girl to ride"
Burton Smith, attorney for the
prosecution, stated to the Court that
Mr.. Lewis had been approached by q
large number of neighbors who had
urged punishment as a lesson to
reckless driving. He insisted on Sc
we're punishment.
Attorneys Key and Arnold argued
to the court that Pybus greatly re-
gretted the killing of the Lewis
child and that he had not had day
of happiness since the fearful acci-
dent.
Pybus was asked if he cared to
make a statement before sentence
was imposed. He said:
"I certainly regret that the acci-
dent occurred. | never intended
killing anyone. This was the first
accident that have ever caused"
Percy Pybus was accompanied in
Court room by his father and several
friends. AS he made his statement
his eyes moistened and careworn
lines in his face showed clearly that
he has been suffering intensely under
a mental strain.
Recorder Broyles had previously
fined Pybus $l00.75 for violating the
city automobile ordinance in that he
exceeded the speed limit. He was
then bound over to the State Co, }
on the charge of involuntary man
slaughter in the commission of an
unlawful act. Later the grand jury
Indicted him on the charge for which
he was bound over from the re-
corder's court.

Will Write Up Fair.

E. l.. Parker, a special writer of the Atlanta Contribution staff, arrived in Birmingham yesterday for the purpose Of writing up several features of Bisning- ham and especially the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit association.
 MT. Parker will be here perhaps month. In commenting yesterday on Bir- mnghams development he said:
 While all Atlantians are for Atlanta first. last and all the time, we recognize that Birmingham in many respects holds a unique position among southern cities and is easily the industrial center of the south. The eitys development has been remarkable even in the last four months. Today I rode throughout the town and 1t seemed to me that new buildings were going up or old ones coming down wher- ever I happened to look. This was true of the residence as well as the business section Indications are indeed plentiful that Birmingham is on the boom. I heard today that it is impossible to get labor sufficient to do the building work that is ready to be done here. Atlanta re- joices in the progress and prosperity of her sister city,.

VALUE OF ENTHUSIASM.

From the New York Commercial.
 Enthusiasm has always been the ruling passion of men and women who have at tained to greatness. No one has ever moved the heart of the world who has not been touched by this divine fire. Elm erson says: Every good and command ing movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever accomplished without itl'
 There is no substitute for enthusiasm. says a high authority. It makes all the difference between a half heart and whole heart, between signal defeat and splendid victory. The young man who hopes to succeed today must be smitttn with this master passion or his life will be a comparative failure. The one-tsl- ented who has fallen in love with lis work, who Is enthusiastic over his voca- tion, will accomplish infinitely more in life than the ten-talented man who las not been touched by this heavenly work. It is the enthusiasm of youth that clts tie Gordian knot. which age cannot ln- tie. If youth is possessed by the di- vine flame of enthusiasm he is not Ike iy to be chilled by the most uhcongehial surroundings or daunted by seemingly unsurmountable obstacles.

Zambesi Bridue.

The opening of the bridge at Vio- toria Falls is one of the great events in this world. The bridge itself Is a remarkable structure, or rather 1t stands as no other bridge In this world does. It Is of the cantilever type, and 1t stands 400 feet above the river at low water, crossing the gorge at Victoria Falls. The bridge has been opened to traffic, and trains pass over 1t freely.
 The bridge Is feature, an incident, of the line from the Cape to Cairo planned by the late Cecil Rhodes. The distance Is 5700 miles. From Cape town to Victoria Falls is about 1000 miles, and preparations are well ad- vanced for building $50 miles north of Victoria Falls in Barotzland, which Is British territory. The entire line will be built over British ground ex-
 
 cept a section along Lake Tanganyika, on one side of which is German terri tory and on the other Is the Congo Free State. It Is believed line will be built on both sides of the lake, which Is perhaps three hundred miles long.
 From the north the railway has reached Khartown, or HOO miles from Cairo. Nearly half of the line is, there fore constructed or in course of con strution, and the gap will be lessened each year. A Cape-to-Cairo railroad is political necessity to the new British empire in the highlands of Central Africa, and it will be built, and that, too, without great delay.

Marketinu the Crop,

The cotton crop of 1904, great as 1t was, was marketed with rare discre- tion and good sense. It was brought in in about equal parts right up to the end of the cotton year The ports received about as much of 1t in the closing summer months as they did in the opening fall months of the cotton year-as much in July as in October.
 This may have been due to the course of prices, but no matter what 1t was due to, it was the true and the best way to market a crop that ap- proximated fourteen million bales. Any other course would have demor- alized tho market. Any other course would have robbed the farmers of the south of vast sum of money. AS the crop was sent to market 1t netted the farmers handsome sums and put lueIH III d way LO uOlu luluIe CIOpS'
 Present prices are below eleven cents, and considerable cotton is com ing in, but there is no haste to mar ket the crop-no avalanche of bales. Let us hope there will be none. The new crop should be marketed slowly and steadily. This is all important, and 1t Is to this end that all efforts of the Southern Cotton Growers associa- tion are directed. Market your crop In monthly installments, and in the meanwhile put the unmarketed bales under some sort of shelter so that they will remain in good condition.
 The average farmer need not resort to a warehouse. The farmers who grow from ten to twenty bales can control prices if they will act in uni son, and will carry their product in monthly portions to market. Any old shed will protect the portion held back on the farm. It can be insured there if need be. In this way the 11-cent proposition can be fully realized, and 1t cannot be in any other way.

Modern Newspaper Work.

Charles P Dement,, editor and pro- prietor of the Meridian Star, was in Bir- mingham yesterday. MT. Dement, Is recog- nized among newspaper men as one Of the forces in southern journalism. The Star under his direction, has rapif.y taken an important position in the after noon field, growing with the growth of Meridian, and not infrequently pioneering and blazing the way for that city's de- yelopment. Mr. Dement, will be here for several days.
 Newspaper work has changed a great deal since I went into the business" said MT Dement, in talking last night asout sThe Fourth Estate.' ''When I was a young man the editors personality was the whole thing. Nowadays there Is only one newspaper editor whose personality may be said to be in the Iimelight. I re- fer to Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courler-Journal Times change and edi- tors change with them. The greatest of all editors nowadays is anonymity. The edi- tor is all very well, but the papers the thing. It overshadows the most orsej3al and most forceful personality, for 1t Is in truth a symposium, or rather com posite. of various personalities, represent ing the writer who fires the big guns on the editorial page all the way down to the galley boy, who slips in the spacing leads"

Across the Continent.

The Hartman lines which will be ex- tended to Birmingham when the rails of the Illinois Central are laid to this point, include also the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific. The Illinois Central Is an eastern extension of the two great lines across the continent.
 The Hartman transcontinental lines do not command the local traffic that the lines near the northern border of the country do, but the through traffic of both is of immense volume. Every addition to the Pacific trade of the country adds to the revenue of the Hartman lines. These lines are In roadway, equipment and management, equal to any in the country, and In July the net earnings were unprece- dentedly heavy. The indications are that the returns of July will be main tained all through the rest of the year.
 The Illinois Central is practically controlled by Mir. Hartman, and when it has terminal facilities In Birming- ham, this town will become an east ern terminal of both the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific. We will tnen have here the Rock Island and the Hartman, two great systems that freely cover the country west of the Mississippi river. The Gould system would complete our railroad possibili- ties, and Birmingham should not rest until line is built from Natchez or Arkansas City to the heart of this district.

WouId'st thou have that
Blast Furnace Activity.

The production of pig iron in August was 1,822,971 tons, as against 1,719,728 tons in July. A number of furnaces have been blown in, and they are ex- pected to produce handsomely in Sep tember, simply because iron is con sumed as fast as 1t is produced, and 1t commands good prices. even the low grades being in demand.
 The Iron Trade Review thinks stocks stood on the first of September at just about the figures of the month previous. The change, If any, has been slight. Iron is not accommodating either in northern or southern yards.
 Alabama's production in August is put by the Review at 140,423 tons. These figures do not include the char coal iron production, which was about 5000 tons in this district. The years production in this district will exceed 100000 tons.
 Perhaps the iron industry in this district was never in healthier or more promising condition than it is in today. The yards in this district are full of irop, but it has been sold, and it Is moved whenever buyers need it.. Nc car famine exists. All grades pro- duced in this district are wanted by consumers. It is not often that low grade iron is firmly held, but that Is the case at present in this district.
 The outlook Is full of promise. Great crops are to be moved, and this means that more iron will be needed. The Iron and steel industry Is sharing, per haps leading, the prosperity that has become general throughout a happy country.

HOME FOR FIRE HORSES.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 If there is any one class of horses de- serving of special care and considera- tion above any other 1t Is surely the faithful animals who serve the public in the fire departments of our big cities.
 It is gratifying to record the fact that a true lover of dumb animals has risen up in the person of Mir. Nicholas F. Bra dy, one of the youngest of Wall streets successful men, who proposes to see that these worthy old veterans of the fire wagons are hereafter treated according to their just deserts MT. Brady will buy, a. his own expense, and pension off for life all the horses discarded by the New York department. and under his kind pro- lection they will spend their declining days on a big farm up country" where rich pasturage In the summer and warm shelter in the indictment season will never be lacking. Surely a nobler act of char ity than this 1t would be difficult to con- ceive.
