States Inspector J. X. Bulger devoted
part of one aay during tie voyage If5sh
4Iou0-1iu 20 proving that the tuIe life
preserver IS more deserving OF the na:4e
tdan IS Ehe canvas-covered belt packed
with cork.
BuIger and Captain O. F, Bodies, gov
eminent inspectors of steam vessels,
have been at Honolulu making an an
nual inspection of the steamers plying
in the inter-island trade. They returned
yesterday on the Manchuria.
There was one OF the regulation fire
and boat drills during the voyage and
at the conclusion Of the drill an exhibi-
ton was given to illustrate, for the
benefit of passengers, just how life
preserver should be used. A discussion
followed IN which nearly all the pas
sengers voiced disapproval of the tule
life preserver. Rulger took up the cud-
gels for the government-approved belt
and proceeded to demonstrate the super
iority Of the article the passengers con-
demned.
Two large tubs were filed with salt
water, into each was thrown life pre-
server, one OF cork and the other filed
with tules.
Now the weight in the water Of 200
pound human being is less than ten
pounds. The government requires that
all life preservers must have sufficient
buoyancy to support twentyfour pounds
in the water.
Bulger secured two chunks of lead,
each weighing twenty-nine pounds. The
weight placed on the cork-filled pre-
server completely submerged the life |
belt, but the tule life preserver fioated |
high out of the water when a similar |
burden was imposed upon it. The |
life preservers were left in the |
water for four or five hours, considera
ply longer than any human being would
i've in any but warm tropical water. At
he end OF the time there was no percep-
-ible change in the tule life preserver,
which was still bearing it's burden high
nut OF the water.
Bulger explained that each tule reed
contained innumeTable air and water
light compartments or bulkheads and
hat until it rotted the tule life pre-
erver was practically unsuitable. The

ervers on al American steamships, he

PASS THE PURE 1000 BILL.

The Senate, after fifteen years,
has finally passed the pure food
bill, one of the most important be-
fore that august body. The bill
makes it a misdemeanor to manu-
facture or sell adulterated or mis-
branded foods, drugs, medicines
or liquors in the District of Column
bia, the territories aud the insular
possessions Of the United States.
and prohibits the shipment of such
goods from one state to another or
to a foreign country. 1t also pro
hibits the receipt of such goods.
Punishment by fine of $500 or by
Imprisonment for one year, or both
is prescribed. Senator O. A. Bacon.
who voted against the bill ex-
planned that he is as earnestly in
favor Of the suppression of adul-
terations of food as anyone can be,
but he opposes the Hepburn bill
upon two grounds. First, that
the matter is properly one which
the states themselves should con-
troll in the exercise of their police
powers, and, second, because he is
opposed to any unnecessary exten-
sion of criminal jurisdiction of the
federal courts, which should be re-
stricted rather than extended, be-
cause every extension involves the
possibility of the citizen being
dragged from his home to a feder-
al court a hundred or more miles

and John Temple Graves and Ed
itor Daniel are yehemently throw
ing mud at each other, to the dis
gust of their friends and to the an
noyance of newspaper readers. 1t
is true Hoke Smith is not now a
newspaper man, but he seems to
have newspaper hold somewhere.
The place for the newspaper man
is the sanctum or counting room.
There is an abundance of other fell

ADVANTAGE TO THE COUNTIES

Sumter County is making cap
ital investment in the continued
improvement of her roads. Bad
roads are heavy tax on any com
munity. They cost millions of
dollars every year They reduce
the price of farm lands by cheap
ening the price Of farm products,
or, to put it another way, by in
creasing the cost of getting such
products to market. Good roads
increase the demand for land and
raise its price by attracting popu-
lation, while bad roads repel
newcomers, keep out capital. dis
courage enterprise, cause intelli-
gent farmers to leave and lower
the value of both land and crops
Good roads save much time, the
money value of which it is hard to
measure. To be added to the di
rect benefit of the farmer from
good roads is the indirect benefit
ofincreased travel through country
by carriages, bicycles, ETC., easier
social intercourse, diminished
sense of isolation and cessation Of
that practical Imprisonment dur
ing bad weather which makes
country life Objectionable to many
persons, especially women. Bad
roads are a continual tax on the
whole community. They operate
against good schools, good prices
for farm lands, profitable farming,
easy communication and general
Improvement. Nothing costs
Georgia so much as bad roads.

THE death OF Charles f. Beatty,
i removes from our midst one of
Cecirs most respected and val
ued citizens. 1t will bring a sense OF
distinct grief and loss not only to his
immediate circle OF close friends. but
to the county at large. Judge Beat
tvs six years Of service on the bench
of the Orphans Court gave him a
wide acquaintanceship with the people
of the county; and tho political ext
gencies deprived him Of a renomina-
ton, no one doubted that his sterling
character strong intelligence and even
judgment gave him eminent fitness for
that position. We extend our deepest
sympathy to those who sorrow at his
taking off; but we cannot fail to re-
cognze, at the same time, that Judge
Beatty has left them very precious
legacy in the remembrance Of life
that was honorable and upright in its
public services, and in its private walk
was such as became a Christian gen
tleman.

L who once defined a Statesman as
a dead politician. There is GER
tainly majesty in the coming OF death
which brings something OF added ex-

is only in this shadow OF death that
the late Senator German can be ac-
corded the rank OF Craftsmanship. in
the judgment of many Of his fellow
countrymen. Nobody has ever ques-
toned the vigOr of his intellect or the
attractivenesS OF his personal char
acter But in maxine up an estimate
of his career is it not nearer the mark
to call him an able. aStute. resourceful
politician. rather than a broad. CON
structive Statesman If you ask Just
what is the distinction in these terms,
let it be answered that there is dis
tinction. which people readily feel even
II they cannot exactly define: and dis
criminate accordingly. 1t was just
this difference which doubtless, as
much as anything else excluded Mr..
German from the possibility Of nom-
nation by his party for the Presidency
That party owed very much to his
political skill and his talent for leader
ship, bu the debt could hardly be paid
in so high sort to one who figured in
the public mind more as a machine
politician than as distinguished
Statesman Indeed it was along the
level of machine politics that Mr. Cor
man won his victories: the defeats that
have come to him in later life may be

that the day Of machine politics is pass

for the "gum-shOe" style Of politics.
wherein device and bargaining and in
trigue are counted on to construct and
maintain an Reorganization that can
afford to ignore the popular approval.
Mr.. German was master in this
school OF politics He had breathed
its atmosphere from earliest child
hood. had learned all its lessons to the
last syllable and had finally come to be
recognized as its great high priest and
exponent. His influence and power
rose steadily with the steady rise OF
political strategy and machine me-
thods as a dominating factor in Ameri-
can politics His influence and power
steadily waned from the day the
American people awoke out their apa-

German his chance to die in the har-
ness. He acquesced in the nomina-
ton OF Governor Warheld but could
not control the choice OF a colleague
which fell upon Isidor Rayner. The

He was a master OF politics as a game
and conSummate tactician approached
only among Democrats by Van Buren,
and Tilden. His career is unique He
was never anything but an officcholder,
had no profession and no business
training, and vet, he faced and often
t1oored trained lawyers. gifted orators.
and able men OF affairs. He had too
firm faith i'll his star and was wit
Messing its setting. For five months
he had been off the stage, and the play
went on without him. In his last pub
lie efforts he sought to wreStle with
accomplished facts and saw evidences
OF waning following. He lived a de-
cade too long for his fame, but how
ever he may compare with our few
