ELECTION OF SENATOR BACON

During nearly four months Of
next year, it appears, Georgia
will have only one senator in the
United States senate-Mr. Clay,
says the Savannah News. The
term of Senator Bacon expires on
March 4, and the session Of the
Georgia Legislature that will elect
his successor will not assemble I'M
til the fourth Wednesday in June,
and there is some doubt as to
whether the Governor has the
right to make an appointment for
the intervening time. 1t is fore
gone conclusion that Senator Ba-
con will succeed himself. He has
no opposition and will be unani-
mOusly nominated In the August
primary and unanimously elected
at the next legislative session. If
the Senate were to extend its SEES
sions after March 4, as it some
times does, the Governor of Geor-
gia might appoint Mr.. Bacon ad
interim, but the opinion has been
expressed that if objection to Mr..
Bacon's sitting under the appoint
ment were raised in the Senate
the seat would be declared vacant
until he had been regularly elect
ed by the Legislature.

THE SOUTH AND HISTORY

The part the South mas played
in history has never been as wide
ly chronicIed as that played by
the North. It's deeds and achieve
ments have never been so loudly
sung or prominently recorded as
those of the North. The South
has made history, but has. neg
lected to write it. New England
ers have been the country's his
torians, and therefore the names
of Lexington and Bunker Hill and
Yorktown and Ethan Allen and
Paul Revere ct al. are more famil
lar even to many Southerners than
Southern fields or heroes. Hon.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, COM
planning of the Partially of his
tory, says:
eff Sir Walter Raleigh had
planned the first white colony in
Massachusetts instead of in North
Carolina, if the first white child
born in the Western world had
looked forth upon the stern and
rockbotnd coast of New England
instead of under the sunny skies of
the Old North State, if the Neck
lenburg Declaration had been
made in Essex county, Massachu-
sets, and if the battles of Kings
Mountain, Guilford Court house
and Cowpens had been fought in
New England instead of the Caro-
linas, the world would have scarce
| ly contained the books written
about them by the New England
scribes.
Who is at fault? Has not the
South been too neglectful2
The South is and ever has been
too neglectful in the matter of writ
ing history and preserving the
truth of history. 1t cannot com
plain if other sections more appre-
ciative of the importance of such
work are better known to the
world and their achievements
made familiar to even Southerners
whose information as to Southern
history comes too much through
the Indian medium of tradition.

THE HUMAN BODY.

composition of the House In Which
Mans Spirit Abides.
The foundation of the human body
is composed of pos bones, covered
with 522 voluntary muscles. The
smaller blood vessels are 50 numerous
as to be beyond the telling, but we
have no fewer than about 1000 arteries
through which the blood is always
flowing under the government Of the
heart
The blood is composed of two constit-
uents. termed by Psychologists red and
white corpuscles, numbering some thou
sands of millions.
Cur house has something like GOO
tiny telegraph wires, called nerves,
connected with the brain and spinal
cord. and these little wires are always
throbbing with messages which they
telegraph to the main office-the brain
Besides these there are the sympathet-
ic wires, or nerves, numbered by thou
sands, which help the former.
The front of our house, the skin, has
been measured up and found, if spread
out, to cover fifteen square feet
The ventilation scheme by which we
get our fresh air is built of such fine
porous stuff that, if spread out, ii
would be found to cover stretch of
land big enough to contain a fifteen
roomed house. We refer to the lungs
which have hundreds of millions of
air cells.
To every square inch of the palm OF
the hand are $500 pores, while the
number of sweat glands in the skin
generally is 100000. Their function
is to deposit secretions upon the skin
hence the necessity of a daily tub tC
wash this staff away, otherwise it clogs
the sweat glands and prevents their
proper working.

been that goods bought on the deals

CHICAGO MARKETS
Wheat Started Weak on General

sides, and in addition the worlds
shipments and the amount of bread
stuffs on ocean passage showed an

An official forecast of rain and

The corn market was weak in SYM

pit traders were free sellers. The May
option opened 1s@14c to 14c lower,
sold up to 425sc and then broke to
4115c, where for a time it held

There was little trading in oats,
but the market went along with corn

The provisions market was firm be-
cause of a 10@15c advance in the
price Of live hogs. The market was
inclined to be dull, however, there
being but little trading.
