philosopher. yArchimsdes. This dis covery is not of 70 much importance of itself as are the possibilities suggested by 1t. Constantinople. or Byzantium. as 1t was formerly called. was for many centuries the Capital of the Ro- man empire. and was also . great re- sort of the early Christians, but was captured by the Turks in the 18th century and has remained under their domination ever since
 Now. the important question that is interesting scholars and archaeolo- gists is to find out what valuable rec ords may be found in the ancient city. It is known that the early Christians had little respect for the works of the ancient Greek and Romans. and the Turks have even less, either for those old works or for those of the later and how much saved is the important point. It is thought that in the an- cient libraries and convents of the city there may be stored away and forgot ten many writings. records and papers that would literally be of priceless value if they could be obtained and deciphered. Speaking of this possibili- ty The New York Mail says:
 Every shred of this learning the sul- tan. who has many old unexamined manuscripts in his library, should be compelled to disgorge. Every manu- script in Constantinople should be ex- amined. The age is gone by when bar. barians of any sect should De permitted either to destroy or hide books which may contain In a single page more sound philosophy thdn their founders ever dreamed. It is really too much to hope that many such books will yet be discovered, but fancy with what joy the world would ,Hange the whole body of Sappho. the works of pemocri- tus, c new diologue of Plato. or even one of the lost 300 volumes of Epicu- rus!
 We fear that our contemporary's en- thusiasm runs away with its judgment Just how the Sultan is to be forced" to allow the libraries and other storage places to be searched we do no ex- actly understand. Constantinople Is the Capital of his empire and with equal logic 1t might be claimed that the President of the United States could be forced" to allow a search of the public and private buildings of Washington. At the same time we fully agree that if any means can be used by which research can be carried on intellisently and systematically 1t should be done. The benefits to his- toricaF and scientific knowledge that might be brought to light are of too much importance to be prevented by Oriental intolerance or prejudice. and We hope means will be found to in- fluence him not to throw obstacles in the way. There may be palimsests there of more value than any that have ever been known.

Undue credit for personal sacrifice is given to Governor HoKe Smith. in case the prohibition law goes into ef- feet in Georgia. The Mobile Register says:
 When prohibition goes into effect in Governor Hoke Smith. the governor will lose s60,0O0 in bar rents now paid by the lessees of the Piedmont Hotel, of which Governor Smith is a part owner. This will be $6O,000 worth of and we can all admire him for sin cerity that costs so large an amount.
 Governor Smith played the Piedmont bar for all it was worth. during this campaign and declared that he had expressly declined to take for his per sonal use any part of the proceeds of rent that came from the bar. He claimed that he gave it away in chari- ty and therefore, he will lose nothing more by the new law than he was los ing without it. Governor Smith is a stock holder in the hotel. but a minori- ty one and it is ridiculous, therefore to say that he will lose as much as $6O,- 900 by the bill even if he was half owner, because that that would argue S12O,0OO in bar room rent. Every body knows ssuch figures are prepos- terous

The Capitol Extension a Necessity.

The Capitol Extension q Necessity. Tuskegee Standard.
 The Legislature should provide at once for lthe building of the north wing of the State Capitol and give suf- ficient money to protect the valuable records of the State. The money spent to do this would be insignificant in comparison with the importance of it's preservation. for if they were destroy ed they could not be replaced and their loss would ever afterwards be an embarrassment to the State.
