PROFESSOR HARRY A. GARFIELD.
of the late President Garfeld's eldest
son, Professor Harry A, Garfield, as
president of Williams. He was born
at Hiram, O., In 1863 and hence is a
comparatively young man, and he will
succeed a veteran educator DR., Henry
Hopkins, who is now seventy years
old and who will retire in 1908 on ac-
count of his advanced years. He is
the son of the famous educator of a
past generation, DR.. Mark Hopkins,
president of Williams from 1886 to
1872, and therefore at its head when
the late President Garfield studied
there.
Professor Garfield has chosen schol-
arship and education as his field, while
his younger brother, James r.. now
secretary of the interior, has selected
the field of politics, in which his la
mented father became so eminent.
The future president of Williams stud
led at the Columbia. Law school after
leaving Williams and later took courses
at Oxford university and at the Inns
Of Court in London. Then he settled
down to the practice Of law in Cleye-
land and married In 1888 Miss Belle
Hartford Mason Of Mentor, o. He be
came prominent in the business life of
Cleveland as well as in his profession,
was in the directorates of banking and
other corporations and in 1898 was
president of the Cleveland chamber of
commerce. He was an active official
in such organizations as the National
Civil Service Reform league and Amer
lean Social Science association.
In 1903 he was called to the chair
of politics at Princeton university, sue
ceeding in that post Professor John II.
Finley, now president of the College
Of the City of New York. Professor
! Garfeld's classes in colonial govern
ment and the history Of parties have
been very popular among the students
at Princeton.

AS all over Southwest Georgia there
has been talk the past few days Of
the possible creation of a special de-
tective force to ferret out blind til
gers in Savannah, Augusta, Macon
and other cities, the views expressed
by Mr.. Anthony on that line will be
of decided interest. There is no
doubt, too, that he expresses the gem
eral sentiment of the prohis of this
part of the State as to national legis-
lation to prevent shipments of Ii
quor into Georgia from wet states.
Congressman Griggs claims that the
thirteen congressman from Georgia
will be a unit in introducing and sup
porting a bill to that end in Deem
Der next, and that they will have sup
port from all over the South.
I'VE will appeal to the Christian
sentiment throughout the nation, !"
said local prohibitionist yesterday
to the Times-Recorder. Our position
is unassailable. Georgia has got a
right ostop the sale of liquor within
her confines, and she should be pro-
tected in that right. We believe we
can get the general bodies of all
the churches in the North and West
to stand by us in this matter and
that such church pressure will be
brought to bear that Congress will
not dare refuse to give us protection

Long Time Prophet.
Yes, he continued, 81 told these
fellows down here seven or eight
years ago that if they didn't take an
other tack they would soon run Geor-
gia dry. But they didn't believe me,
and wouldn't pay any attention to
what / told them. While | haven't
got any use for their business and
still less for what they sell, | was
the best friend they had. ii is a
true friend who points out your dan
ger and | certainly pointed if out to
the liquor sellers of Savannah. 1t
they had been a little mora respect
full of the laws of Georgia, Il little
more respectful of public sentiment
and public decency, prohibition would
have been STAYED off a few yeal S

selves, ! tel lyou, and they aannot
blame anybody except themselves now
that they are to be put out Of Dusi-
ness on short notice.
81 have ben a local optionist,' con-
tinued Mr. Anthony, But tae lilIor
dealers of Savannah never could I'M
derstand what local option really
meant. Somehow or other they got
the idea that local option meant the
right to snap their fingers at the
laws of Georgia in Chatham county,
to violate the laws regulating the
sale of liquor on Sunday, to minors,
to drunken men, and to women, and
to flood dry county with all the
mean whiskey that could possibly be
shipped into it in jugs. When they
hollered for local option they didn't
really mean it. They said they want
ed the people of Chatham to decide
whether liquor should be sold here
or not, and that they were prepared
to abide by that decision. But when
Effingham, and Bryan and other coun-
ties throughout this section exercised
the right of local option and went dry
the liquor sellers of Savannah never
respected the rights of the majority
in those counties at all. They drum
med them actively for whiskey. They
flooded them with whiskey. And they
howled every time any one object
ed to it as though they had an in
alienable right to sell liquor in dry
counties as well as in Chatham. Son
ny, l tell you these fellows have got
no one to blame but themselves. And

Does Not Want State Officers.
Yes" said Mr.. Anthony, 81 know
that some ardent prohibitionists are
talking that way. They want the
laws enforced and if the cities won't
enforce them then they want State
constabulary to do it. But don't be-
lieve in that sort of thing. 1t would
just awaken evil passions, it would
engender hatred of the State, it
would lead men to resist the law
who would otherwise not do so. l
don't believe in it, an dI hope the
brethren will not go to such ex-
tremes. | love dear old Savannah,
and l don't want any State officers
saddled on the community for this
purpose. The law is going to work
itself out all right. Yon can't ex-
pect to reform a community in a
week, or a month, or a year. But
the leaven will be working right
along. The man who sells liquor will
be prescribed. He must sneak into
! dark corner to do it. He will feel
| like a criminal at heart. Decent men
won't do it. The men who run blind
tigers will be the lowest class of
| men. And no community will stand
for them making big profits long at
the expense of the welfare of the gen
eral community No, no, the course
of moderation is the right one. Keep
hands off and let Savannah work it
out. We have many good agencies at
work here, the mass of our people
are law abiding and God fearing. Give
them time and the blind tiger will
go like the open barroom."

National Prohibition Ahead.
| Let me tell you what | believe, and
l find the opinion growing wherever
| go. Ten years from now national
prohibition will be the issue. The
old parties buck against taking hold
of it, but take hold of it one or the
other of them must. The people of
Georgia amt a going to sit still
and let the North and the West ship
whiskey here, any more than the
| dry counties of Georgia sat still and
let Savannah food them through the
| medium of the jug. They are to be
up and doing. The rumblings are
already to be heard. When Con-
gress meets this winter the first guns
will be fired in the shape of bills
prohibiting wet states from shipping
into dry states. The liquor interests
may defeat it, but when they do they
have sealed their own doom, for it
| means that a ceaseless warfare will
be begun for the abolition of the Ii
quor business in the United States.
Twenty-Five years from now, if you
live that long, you won't find le-
galized bar room in the whole of this
great country. The West is going to
follow the South, and the East will
have to get out of the business I'M

Sunday Excursions Helped.

Sunday excursions, too, have help
ed the cause of prohibition along,
Sunday excursions to Savannah, /
mean. Can't see the connection,
hey? Well, here it is:
All over Georgia the boys have
been coming to Savannah on these
Sunday excursions. Coming down
here to refresh themselves with a
dip in old ocean, you know But as
soon as they struck Savannah they
found two hundred barrooms, more
or less, awaiting them. When they
went to Tybee, or Thunderbolt, or al
most anywhere else, they found IL
quor dives. And they got drunk and
went home drunk, and the old folks
back there in the country, and the
neighbors, and the people who travel
on the trains and saw them, knew
what was going on 'in Savannah, and
they made up their minds that if
Savannah liquor sellers would not
obey the laws, if they would not
close on Sunday and refuse to sell
to minors, then the liquor sellers of
Savannah should be driven out of
business. 1 tell you the Sunday ex-
cursionists sent all over crackerdom
a lot of advertisements for prohibit
ton. The liquor sellers of Savannah
sowed the seeds and they are reap
ing the harvest They will never le-
gally sell another drop in this State
after January l."
Can the law be enforced in Savan
nah?" was asked Mr. Anthony,
Enforcement a Slow Growth.
ooh, yes, the law can be enforced
anywhere. But it is my belief that
next year there Will be just as much
liquor consumed-perhaps sold-in
Savannah as this year, and the year
after there will be a big consump-
ton. 1t will take two or three years
for the people to wake up to the nee
essity Of enforcing the law But
when they find that they are getting
all the evil results of liquor, that
they are footing the bills without

Justice In Turkey.

The Following queer case OF legal
jurisprudence was told by q Turhsh
diplomat: Il appears that mechan-
ic fell from a roof into the street
upon q wealthy old Turk and killed
him. The son Of the deceased caused
the arrest Of the workman, who
was uninjured, and had him taken
before the csdi, with whom he used
ill his influence to have the prison
er condemned. But the mans limo
cence wss clearly established, and
nothing could satisfy the dead mans
sen save the law Of retaliation.
Therefore the venerable cadi grave
" directed that the workman b
plseed upon the exact spot where
the victim Of the sccidsnt had stood.
When this was done the eadi turned
to the son and said, "Nov you may

Along Legged Deer.

A huge, finely mounted antlered
head hung just above the Gdeboard
in the dining room. This trophy Of
some huntsman's skill was fastened
so firmly to the wall that the glis-
tening neck seemed to be coming
right out through the plaster. Rob
ert, who was seeing this decoration
for the first time, eyed it with live
ly curiosity and very evident un-
easiness. It looked almost too life
like for comfort.
Finally the boy, asking to b e1-
cused, slipped from his chair, tip
toed into the next room and then,
flushing with embarrassment, re-
turned to his place at the table.

The Caterpillar.

II any schoolbQy were asked to
give the derivation of Caterpillar"
he would say that it had something
to do with "cat." And he would be
right. The common explanation Of
Caterpillar" is that it is the old
French "chatepelose," which means
literally "hairy cat" and is very
like the English "woolly bear" The
last two syllables suggested the
English "piller," a plunderer, and
"caterpiller" was the regular spell
ing until the seventeenth century.
DR.. Murrays dictionary suggests
that the word may have come
straight from "cat" and pillar" A
Lombard word for caterpillar is
"gatta" (cat) and a Swiss word "teu-
felskatz" devils cat), while ''cat-
kin" is the vegetable imitation Of
the caterpillar.

The Last Run.

There was a vacancy in the minis
try of a west highland parish, for
which three candidates preached in
the church on three successive Sun
DAYS. The first was diminutive in
stature, the second smaller still, and
the third was the smallest Of all. A
lady in the congregation spoke with
a member of the church committee
and demanded to know why such
small candidates had been selected.
The explanation, as a writer in the
London Telegraph gives it, was this
"Weel, mum, ye see the steepends
hae become very small, and they're
no bringing oot such big ministers
as they used to do"

kneeIins Down to Die.

Though a camel is supposed to
have carried Mohammed in four
leaps from Jerusalem to Mecca, sew
en- miles an hour is the latter day
camel's limit. It cannot maintain
this rate for over two hours either.
It's usual speed is five miles an hour,
a slow pace beyond which it is dan
gerous to urge it, lest, as Asiatics
say, it might break its heart and die
literally on the spot. When camel
is pressed beyond this speed and ID
spent it kneels down and not all the
wolves of Asia will make it bulge
again. The camel remains where it
heels, and where it kneels it dies.
A fire under it's nose is useless.

til 1749, when DR.. Alexander Will

drew attention to it. 1t is, how
ever, within the last decade that
the kite has gained nearly all of its
Importance, and this is due to its
development by men who have stud
led it and the forces acting upon it
in scientific way. Among others
may be named Marvin, Langley,
Hargrave and Eddy. BY their la

thing Of the schoolmaster in his
composition, and this trait was apt
" illustrated when during the sum-
mer holidays on one occasion he
met the late Duchess Of Abercorn
Ia q country house, accompanied by
her schoolboy son, Lord George
Hamilton. Not many mornings had
elapsed before Mr.. Gladstone said
to the boys mother: 'Duchess,
don't you think it pity that your
son should spend his holidays in en-
tire idleness? I should be happy
to give him an hours homer every
morning" The offer was accepted,
and the foundation Of Lord Georges
lifelong hostility to the Liberal
leader was securely laid.
