MAJOR POLK.

Major William. Polk died yesterday
at the Peabody Hotel.
This announcement will cause gen.
uine sorrow to a vast number of PEG
pie who knew the deceased well.
He was not a public man, nor man
of large affairs; but he was high
! type of high class of men.
He was really Southern gentle
man of the old school, and he possess
ed to high degree those manly vir-
tues which from 81 to Co. and during
/ the period Of reconstruction following,
added the most glorious of all chap
tiers Of heroic achievement to world
history.
He was the flower of Southern
chivalry.
He was unassuming and generous
and gentle, unyielding in his opinions.
ever a relentless PARTISAN, yet al
ways manly antagonist, brave and
daring, yet never boastful nor domi-
neering.
He was typical cavalier, bred in
the bone a lover of the South and it's
traditions and patriot to the core.
In war he served his country with
distinction, and in peace he became
the staunch, resolute, loyal and law
loving citizen. He belonged to the
great middle class of courageous, true
men who have maintained the high
level of Southern citizenship
His passing was fortutous and
ideal. He passed from quiet slumber
into the peaceful sleep of death with
out agony, without fear. He died as
he had lived; quietly and peacefully, !
like soldier and a man.
Many who have enjoyed the lavish
tenderness of his loyal heart, many
who felt the mainstay and support of
his strong and generous nature will
long cherish his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Yes, Let the Birds Live.

In communication In last week, News by "Sub>eriber in which he says Shall We let the birds live I answer emPhati- eally 'yes, let the birds live. V But We have todo something else than talk to protect. During the last session of the legislature We fruit growers and tanners got up q petition to the legislature to forbid the killing of quail> for five years. The quail hunters in the towns got up remonStrance, l don't know how many signers thev got. but l do know We got a large part of the farmers and fruit growers around this town and I do know that We did not get the law that We wanted. Now, when the men that have charge of this bill come around to us farmers and fruit growers for our votes would like to know why We did not get what We wanted.
 Now brother s'hay>eed>, if We want any thing We have to do like the other teller. pat the men in the legislature who will do what We want them to do and not put men there who give the other Teller" what he wants.
 A to the usefulness of the quail. or Bob White, I will refer any one 10 an article III the Year Book of the Department of Agri- culture for the year of 1908 by Prof. Sylvester D. Judd, and when you read 1t you will insist on the legislature giving you laws that will protect the quail and when you catch any one on your place with dog and gun killing your best friends you will feel like kicking them, dog, gun and all, over the fence.

An Open Letter To You

Ny Dear Brother: Words are gns . ideas. and by them We express thought. The best thinkers those who stand high est and have the greatest inhu- ence. use words to the best adyan- tage. Thelr thoughts clear and definite and few of their words are wasted. One kind ot d spend thrift wastes money for what he does not need. Another kind wastes words 10 say what he does not mean. He leaves us the impression that he is unedueated, uncultured, and has an empty mind When these wasted words are oaths, We feel that he iS IT. reyerent. disrespeetful and wick eQ. We do readily trust such man. We take it that he is the associate of the lowest class of society. His possibilities seem to open downward.
 Such men iniare society as well as themselves. The opinion man gets Of a town k apt to be the sum of his impression, ard the greater of these is likely to eoHe from other men. As lie passes down the street rom the depot and catches protane expressions from every group hc sees on the sidewalk, such talk is pretty sure to weigh more even with an ire ligious man than the sight of fine buildings or attractive show win dows.
 Our little city has well attend ed churches, and IS surrounded by q farming country owned and settled by the very best people ot America. They are about all sound on the liquor question and no saloon can find tolerance or sup- port. Now why not get rid of the bar room talk, too frequently heard on the streets, and seem clean as well as be clean? We submit the question to our thoughtful citizens, feeling sure that We can, if We try, induce d greater respect for the third com nandment.
 Truly.

Continued from page So

to do so is merely another instance of
English narrow mindedness and lack
of enterprise. AS matters now stand
the Sultan of Sulu is more considerable
of the gentlemen of the press than the
British government.
The American woman who goes shop
ping in London is generally as mad as
a wet hen before she gets three squares
from her hotel. 1t is not customary
to try on gloves, and this of course
starts an argument. Again, it is the
rule that If a clerk is waiting on a
customer who is not a titled person,
and some one of rank should enter,
the frst-comef is unceremoniously
dropped. One day l was buying some
stuff in furnishing store, when fus-
sly, old red-nosed lord came putting into
the place, pounded his cane on the
floor impatiently, and demanded in
slant attention from the clerk who was
serving me. I was dropped like hot
cake, and I promptly went out to look
for another shop where I might acct
dentally get taken care of on the prin-
ciple of first come first served. / had
completed my purchase in the first
store with the exception of paying for
it, and that afternoon the package was

venge by promptly returning the same,

THE PURLEY COW CASE.
] Red tape is the bane of English life,
and London is like fettered giant on
lY-e.vr
your breath without having the priv
ilege authorized by an act of Parlia-
ment When the London County Coun-
ell started it's great task of improving
the city, its work was so hampered
that one indignant member declared
they could not buy a paper of taeks
without Legislation. And law-making
in England is MOST painful and ex-
pensive procedure, each act of Parlia-
ment costing something like $4,000.
While / was in London an extraor
binary case of official red tape was
engaging the attention of the public.
The House of Commons was delib
Grating on the affair known as the
Purley cow case. 1t seems that some
225 years ago a well-meaning per
son died and left COW to the poor
people of certain parish. Being
wholly unprepared for the great re-
sponsibility of belonging to an entire
community, the COW in question
turned up her heels and followed her
charitably- owner into the great
beyond.
Inasmuch as the milk the good bossy
had given during the short interim be-
tween her master IS death and her own
belonged to the poor of the community,
it constituted a public trust, wherefore
the deliberations of Parliament. Some
body got away with a dollar and-a-
half s worth of milk belonging to the
parish of Purley, and although the wise
