CHILD HERO Is DENIED MEDAL.
Carnegie Commission Decides Him
Too Young TO Realize Bravery.

Too Young to Realize Bravery
To gain recognition as hero from the
Carnegie commission one must be old
enough TO appreciate the danger encoun-
tered in an act of bravery. Because, in
the opinion of one of the members of the
commission. Emmett Schrank aged 3
years. was too young to be a real hero.
a medal has been refused him. Several
weeks ago fire started in the nursery
OF the home of J. T. Schrank of La
Crosse. Emmett and his baby sister were
alone. The little boy realized the danger
and dragged the crib containing the in
FAINT to place of temporary safety. where
1t was rescued a few moments later by
the mother.

Wanzer, always in charge in this building almost since the fair started, was greatly missed this year, as ow- ing to partial shock he has been confined to the home of Mrs Giddings in Brookfeld. He has always been a worker in the fair directorate, and his associates all hope for his speedy con valescence.
 Hatch & Dewey. the enterprlsing and up-to-date Bank street clothiers, had a very tasteful show of the latest things in the fall and winter line of clothing, hats and neckwear, trunks and bags. The goods were displayed on background of white cheese cloth and were arranged by their efficient clerk, August Peelstrom.

WHISPERS.

The man with the full beard
seems to be coming into his own
again, says The Savannah Press.
Charles E. Hughes, whose whiskers
are only kept from running rampant
over his countenance by the most
careful brushing and grooming, has
Just been inaugurated governor of
the state of New York. James Me-
Craze, who raises a new crop of
whiskers every year, is the new pres
ident of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and James Hamilton Lewis, who is
making a success as corporation
counsel in Chicago, has set OF
whiskers known to every wind of the
globe. And hasn't Town Topics
Mann, whose beard is his pride, just
been given a certificate Of character
by a New York jury?
The thing is getting to be so no.
ticeable that one might expect Sena-
tor Pfeffer to again enter public
life. If beard is one of the quail
fications of greatness this gentleman
should be man marked among
great men.
There has not been a president
with a beard since Harrison, and his
was not of such length as to count
to any great extent. Theodore
Roosevelt has sported a mustache
since his days as assistant secretary
of the navy, but he will try to raise
a set of burnsides if he thinks the
people demand them of him. Any
way, says The Press, doesn't he be-
lieve in making two heirs" grow
where one grew before? This should
bring him into the good graces of
the whisker worshipers.
Our contemporary expects Hon.
Joe Hall and Hon Martin Calvin to
retain the popularity they have in
Georgia indefinitely. They have,
perhaps, the ablest and most pict-
uresque pair of whiskers in all the
state.

A recent summary shows that ia
pan has thirty first and second class
battleships to our twenty-siX, and
has 29O principal war craft to our
1873, with 42,962 officers and men to
our 33,762.
And those war vessels owned by
Japan are among the latest and best
of their kind, and those Japanese
officers know how to handle them
and their men know how to shoot
their guns.

A FLANK MOVEMENT.

The president has ordered the 9th
and 10th cavalry and the 25th in
fantry, which include all the negroes
in the regular army, to the Philip
pine Islands They will all be on
their way to our oriental possessions
by the early part of June. The only
other negro regiment in the army
which is the oath infantry, is already
in the Philippines.
In spite of official statements that
the negro troops are being sent to
the Philippines simply because it is
their turn to go the general pub
lie will scarcely be able to escape
the suspicion that the president has
taken this as a near cut out OF an
embarrassing situation. The presi-
dent, very likely, has at last re-
allied what a great many others al
ready knew-that the quartering of
negro troops among a white popula-
ton is not conducive to harmony and
good order.

MUST LOOK TO THE SOUTH.

In these days of political unrest,
when the Roosevelt administration
is constantly running to new eX-
tremes of centralized radicalism and
Imperialism, the conviction is grow
ing among thinking men of both par
ties that the country must look to
the democrats of the southern states
for conservative leadership, and for
the Inauguration of movement that
will restore the government to the
lines laid down by the trainers OF the
federal constitution. Congressman
William Richardson, of Alabama,
voiced the views of many Of his par
ty associates both of the south and
north when, on his return to Wash
ington after the Christmas holidays,
he said:
The south is getting business
like and conservative. In fact,
| predict the time when the
southern states will be relied
on to preserve the whole union
from socialism and radicalism
of every sort.

Atlanta Constitution, Jan. 3, l9O t.
One of the most hopeful signs Of
the year 1906 was the large in
crease in saving deposits over the
year 1905. This increase is con-
servatively estimated by local bank
ers at 80 per cent, and it is further
stated that savings bank deposits
have fully doubled in the past three
years.
With six of the Atlanta banks

Trust Company of Georgia, the Cen
trail Bank and Trust Company, the
Germania, the Georgia Savings Bank
and Trust CONFERENCE.-The the
interest on deposits from 3 p to 4
per cent year, and with the I'm
ion Savings bank also paying that
amount, it is probable the savings
this year will be vastly augmented.
The increase in interest by At
lanta banks was due to no concerted
action or agreement, and was the
logical result of conditions. Money
is now more valuable than former
Iy, and commands higher rates of in
terest. Particularly is this the case
with loans on real estate.
For some time past New York
banks have been paying per cent.
on savings deposits, and this rate
is beginning to prevail all over the
country.
Wage Farmers Saving.
In Atlanta the savings bank idea
is rapidly taking hold of the wage
Garner, both white and colored; but,
according to the bankers, the peo-
pie who have the best opportunity to
lay by something each week or
month-clerks and skilled mechan-
les making from 500 to $3.50 a
month-are not availing themselves
of the chance in anything like the
proportion that factory hands and
the unskilled classes are. One rea-
son given for this is that the fancied

extravaganza. consumes the entire in

Those newspapers that have been
