VERY INTERESTING DISCOURSE
Delivered by Rev. MT. Light, of Yale, a
 First Presbyterian Church.

Delivered by Rev. MT. Light of Yale, at
 First Presbyterian Church
 Rev MT. Light, of Yale, delivered a remarkably fine discourse at the First Presbyterian church yesterday fore noon. His text was I, Chronicles, 11-17, and was chiefly based on the words, "Oh! for drink of the well by the gate of Bethlehem"
 The young speaker entered into the history of David and his environments at the time of his utterance of the words of the text and the aim of the address was to inspire an appreciative longing for the higher spiritual life The speakers enunciation and delivery were very effective, and the discourse was both interesting and inspiring.
 Rev. Dr. Brown, pastor of the church, is away taking his vacation of two weeks in Maine.

The Trolley Cars Are Crowded With
 Pleasure Seekers.
 With the possible exception of yester- day, when the humidity was too great for comfort, the past week in New Ha- ven has been one of glorious weather. Savin Rock and all the other shore re- sorts have been crowded with a bath ing, loafing and sightseeing crowd. Savin Rocks balloon ascensions have given it even more than its usual share of sightseers, but all the rest have been well patronized. Mount Carmel and East and West Rocks have also been visited by large groups, and reuions of war veterans and of civilians have been numerous.
 Special phenomena, aside from the fact that half the town has gone on it's respective vacations, have been the out ings of numerous organizations and family outings.
 Yesterday was one of the most pop ular days of the summer at all the re- sorts.

Brunefies Have Thick Sikh

The human skin not only varies
in thickness II different individ-
uals, but ;!>o in different parts
OF the same person, being in some
places only one one-hundred and
fortieth of an inch in thick
ness, while in others it is one
twcnty-hfth of an inch. The skin
of women and children is thinner
than that OF men. A thick skin
where there is frequent pressure,
as on the hands and feet. Thick
ness of skin varies with the color
of the hair and eyes. Usually
black hair and dark brown eyes
are associated with thick skin.
a moderately thick skin is found
with brown hair and blue or gray
eyes. The finest skin belongs to
blondes and is a usual accompani-
ment OF auburn or flaxen hair.

Mourning Customs

The customs of mourning as
practlccd in various parts of the
world seem at first sight to have
little relation with each other or
with the inward grief which they
are supposed to typify. Yet by
the exercise of a little patience
many resemblances may be dis
covered among them. The wild
ow's cap, for example, dates back
to the days OF ancient Egypt.
Egyptian men shaved the beard
and head as token of mourning.
The women, instead of cutting off
the hair. concealed it by close
cap. The Romans. who were as a
race clean shaver, shaved the head
in mourning and wore a wig.
The blacy band on the sleeve as
sign of mourning, comes to us
from the days of chivalry. The
lady tied scarf or napkin, as the
handkerchief was called. about the
arm of her knight. If he was kell-
ed in battle she wore the band in
memory of him.
Black has SO long been the color
of grief in Anglo Saxon countries
that it seems a part of the upside
down civilization of the East that
Japan and China wear white. But
no longer ago than the time of
Elizabeth the unfortunate Mary of
Scotland wore white on the death
OF Darnley. Even now the hearse
used for children is white. and in
England the mourners at funerals
OF young unmarried persons wear
hatbands and sashes of white.
A queer English custom is that
of decorating the black hearse
horses with long false black tails.
They attract no more notice on a
street in Liverpool than do the
black nets used in this country to
cover the horses.
A great many sensible people
protest that wearing tokens of
mourning is barbaric custom
that should be abolished or greatly
modified, but when loss and grief
actually come into the individual
life one discovers that there is a
strange, subtle fitness in gloomy
garments, and that they answer tc
| the need Of the soul for silence and
separation.

THE PROSPERITY OF GEORGIA

Georgfa's cotton crop is not only
one of the largest but one of the
best in quality in its history. The
corn roppromises to be the finest
ever recorded and the outlook for
a large crop is excellent. The hay
crop is good, though Georgia does
not produce as much hay as it
should. The rains have been ia vor-
able to grass and general vegeta-
ton, and the vegetable and fruit
crops are above the average. The
cattle supply is larger than usual,
and so is the hog production.
Prices generally are satisfactory for
about all the farmer produces.
This is a poor year for the
demagOgue to weep over the woes
of the farmer. The farmer is not
complaining. The farmers of south
Georgia are in excellent condition,
and will have more money the
coming fall and winter than they
have had in many years. Their
deposits in the country and city
banks attest their prosperity.
Ten years ago-in 1896-the
farmers were in a distressfuI con-
dition. They had no money and
nothing to sell, while prices were
low and purchasers few and ex-
ceedingly economical from neces-
sity. The voice of the calamity
bowler was heard in the land, and
he was listenend to by serious
minded men who felt that the
times were out of joint. What a
contrast between 1896 and 1906.
The present period of prosperity
was never surpassed. 1t is a
period of unusual Industrial and
commercial activity, but it all has
basis in agricultural prosperity.
No legislation can remedy the
hardship and depression of lean
crop years. Abundant crops are
the foundation of prosperity.
Nature has been kind to Georgia,
and her people are prosperous and
contented. They shoula observe
Thanksgiving with unusual
earnestness and gratitude this
year. The farmer is especially
to be congratulated.

IngersoII on Napoleon.

A little while ago 1 stood by the grave
of the great Napoleon-a magnificent
tomb of gilt and gold. saw him take
an empire by the force Of his genius
1 saw him upon the frightful field of
Waterloo, when chance and fate com
bined to wreck the fortunes Of the
former king, and 1 saw him at st
Helena with his hands crossed behind
him gazing out at the sad and solemn
sea. l thought of the orphans and
widows he had made, of the tears that
had been shed for his glory, and Of the
only woman who had ever loved him
pushed from his heart by the cruel
hand of ambition, and I said 1 would
rather have been French peasant and
worn wooden shoes. / would rather
have been that poor peasant with my
loving wife by my side, knitting as the
day died out in the skies, with my chill
dren upon my knees and their arms
about me. I would rather have been
that man and gone down to the tongue
less silence of the dreamleSs dust than
TO have been that impartial imperson'
alton of force and murder known as

JUDGE MILLER TO BE CHAIRMAN

In all probability, Judge A. i.
Miller, of Macon, will be chair
man of the State Democratic con-
vention, which will be held Tues
day. This position carries with
it the Craftsmanship of the State
Democratic executive committee
for the next two years.
The announcement that Judge
Miller will be given this position
was brought by prominent resi-
dent of Macon from Atlanta, where
he had a conference with Hon.
Hoke Smith.
A number of men have been men
toned for the craftsmanship for
the convention. 1t is now gener-
ally understood that Mr.. Smith is
DESTROYS of having Judge Miller at
the helm Of the convention and
OF the Democratic executive COM
mittee.
And it is in keeping with the
eternal fitness of things that Judge
Miller should now be put at the
{ fore. 1t was Judge Miller who
sidetracked his own brother in
law, Hon. Pope Brown, that Hokt
Smith might have the right of way
1t was Judge Miller who put Hok'
Smith into the running and dicta
ted his platform.
Judge Miller's reward will be
the craftsmanship, and the assur
ance previously given that his law
partner, Senator Bacon, would be
unopposed for that high honor.

Monkeys Have No FIeas,

1t IS curious that monkeys should be
thought to be infested with what nat
uralists call the Pulex irritans and
what ordinary people know as the flea.
AS every zOologist is aware, monkeys
have neither tieas nor any other para
site whatsoever in which of course
they differ vastly from man. AS a
matter of fact, when monkeys begin
to pick each other about in the friend
~ way we have all observed they
merely detach bits of hardened seba-
ceous matter which has been excreted
by the glands and the flea idea is en-
tirely fabulous.
