MIR. JORDAN's TRADE.

The attack of Hon. Harvie Jordan
upon Hon. O. Is. Stevens, commission
err of agriculture, will not amount to
ANYTHING more than one of those
noisy little tempests in teapot,
AS is we'll known. Mr.. Jordan. who is
president of the Southern Cotton AS
sociation. has not succeeded in his
effort to control the cotton output,
and in his keen disappointment he has
very likely assaulted the commission
er of agriculture, who has been NOV
inu along in the even tenor of his way
and transacting the affairs OF his Oh
fee with the care and fidelity that has
ALWAYS marked his administration,
for the purpose of diverting attention
from his own stupendOus failure TO
accomplish the purpose for which ne
is drawing an extravagant salary
The newspapers of the state have
very generally commented on Mr.. Jor-
dams attack upon Commissioner Stew
ems. and the following extract from
the Albany Herald fairly represents
the views of very large majority of
the press:
ut is unfortunate that Mr.. JOr-
dan should have made this attack
upon Commissioner Stevens at
this time and in the way he has
chosen. 1t is more than unfOrtu-
nate-it is a mistake, and Mr.. JOr-
dan will himself realize it if he IS
honest with himself after he has
reflected over the matter. In the
first place, President JOrdan's at
tack is aimed at the best friend the
farmers have in Georgia. man
who has been identified with the
farmers all his life, and has been
conspicuously loyal to their best
interests at all times, not only in
his official capacity, but in his prl-
vate life.
And, in the second place, the
farmers of Georgia are not going
to believe Mr.. Jordan'S charges,
expressed and implied and the 1e-
suit will be reacHonary and the ef.
feet the reverse of what Mr.. JOr-
dan probably expected when franz
ing and promulgating his indlct-
ment.
SIN this view of the case-and
that's the way we see it-Mr. Jor-
dams attack on Commissioner
Stevens will be reactiOnary, and
the Southern Cotton Association
will suffer more than Commission
er Stevens will be injured"

for while the germ may grow at this
immense rapidly for short time the
poison which it produces becomes
destructive to itself The material
upon which it feeds is also exhausted,
so that it's growth ceases.
Doubtless all have noticed the fact
that mold grows during the night and
in dark, damp cellars. Bright sun
light quickly destroys germs, mold,
and other parasitic organisms. Diff
fused daylight does not act nearly so
rapidly, but accomplishes in the
course of a few hours what bright sun
light is capable of doing in few min
utes. 1t is clearly evident, then, that
in order that our houses should be
kept free from germs they, like our
bodies, should be made full of life.
The shutters should be opened, the
curtains raised, and the light admitted
to every room in the house, clos
cts included, so that the disinfecting
power of light may be exercised in
every nook and corner in the dwell
ing.

TAX DODGERS.

The poor man, as the Macon Eve
ming News truthfully says, is not a
tax dodger. His modest holdings,
continues our contemporary, never es-
cape their full burden of taxation.
The richer the man the smaller the
taxes, comparatively speaking. The
millionaire is usually a most success
full and persistent tax dodger. 1t is
charged that many of the wealthy in
New York commit perjury in order to
escape their full share of taxation,
and they resort tC other questionable
means to avoid ortributing their just
part for the support of the govern
ment which protects their property
and shields their lives.
Governor Higgins of New York con-
dennis the tax dodgers in no uncertain
language. He is quite severe in his
protest against their methods.
"Some of the people," he says. Ego
to Rhode Island some to the Berk-
shire Hills and others to New Jersey
to evade taxation There are others
who have mortgages made out to their
cousins. their uncles and their aunts
in other states, and have assignments
made 10 them which they do not re-
cord. Others. yet more bold, walk
brazenly up to the assessors Office
and commit perjury to eVade taxation.
There seems to be a percentage of
people in every state who are able in
some way to satisfy their consciences
sufficiently to justify them to them
selves in beating the state or the gov
eminent"

OLD BONDS NOT BURNED.
Through Fear Commission Postponed

ATLANTA, GA, May AT the last

Treasurer r. Z. Park to burn In the
presence of Governor Terrell, Comp

per was scheduled to take place today,
and ii O'Clock was set as the hour for
the blaze to get busy. At that hOur
the state house officials above named
were at the Office of the treasurer.
Here a council of war was held, at
which the ACCESSIBILITY Of burning the
paper was discussed, in view OF recent
developments connected with the pos
sibility of suits being brought against
the state on account Of certain bonds
issued during the Bulloch administra-
ton that had been repudiated. Treas
urer Park exhibited a half million
dollars worth of bonds that had been
issued and cancelled without having
passed out of the possession OF the
state. After thorough discussion OF
the matter the commission decided to
postpone action until further instruc-
tions could be secured from the leglS-
] lature.
/ Governor Terrell, it is said, in his
message to the legislature will present
the facts in the case to the general as
sembly so that the matter may be
given careful attention.

rise by nearly the entire population
Small telescopes, opera glasses and
plain smoked glasses were in great de-
mand and those who had prepared
themselves for the event by laying in a
stock of field and opera glasses did a
rushing business during the brief time
during which the eclipse could be OBJ
served here. The atmospheric condi-
tions were fairly satisfactory, but the
fact that the sun was close to the
horizon line when the observation be-
gan and was veiled to some extent by
the moisture suspended in the lower
strata of the air made the observation
here OF little value for scientific pur-
poses No satisfactory photographs
could be taken.

New York, Aug. 3o.-Well informed
banking interests are of the opinion
that the treaty of peace between Rus
fsia and Japan will soon be followed by
Ia Russian loan and with another later
by Japan. The extent Of these loans
will depend largely upon the provis-
ions Of the agreement between the two
countries. Bankers believe that Rus
ssia will make liberal compensation to
Japan, although this may be provided
for in the separate understanding. 1t
is known that Russia has made all
preparations for placing part of loan
here and it IS we'll understood that
Japan contemplates raising more mon
Iey to pay internal obligations.

CUPID Is HAVING
e. ~. =. =. +. TROUBLE IN OHIO

East Liverpool, o., Aug. 3o.--Cupid,s
wings have been clipped. lsE
For years it has been cary for young
couples of East Liverpool to consolidate
their loving hearts, Though Lisbon, the
Columbiana County seat, is where the
marriage licenses are kept on tap, the
justices of the peace have been able ait
all times to get permits by phone. Now
this is all changed
Previously each squire simply notified
the Judge Of ethe probate court that the
couple was in evidence and had made
affidavit. The judge would reply that
the license would be forwarded and the
squire would proceed to tie the knot.
There were protests that some of The
contracting parties were under age and
the probate judge began to shut down on
the game. He ordered that am extra
affidavit be filed in his presence in each
case by someone who would swear he
knew the would d-bc-wed pair. This was
arranged without trouble Each squire
had friend in Office at the courthouse,
and those who couldn't get a line on the
fiend hired an outsider at ST. per hire
I'd make affidavit. s
Lisbon seemed conscienceless.
Then Judge Martin issued a license to
a Youngstown couple and the father OF
the bridegroom went into the Mahoning
County courts and had the marriage an
nulIed on grounds that his son was only
I6 years old. Incidentally ne called on
Probate Judge Martin to pay the ag-
grieved party the $1,000 penalty which
