an PUBLIC ROADS.

EDITOR JcURNAL--I see q piece in
your paper where a committee of the
grand jury on public roads recon-
mended that the computation tax be
raised from two dollars and fifty cents
to four dollars to the hand. I, for one,
disagree with the committee. 1t would
not be justice to the poor class of peo-
pie. 1 think the road tax is alright as
it now stands. People need not expect
good roads as long as the farmers and
land owners of Cobb county cut and
haul wood by the car load and cut the
roads up ia the winter season of the
year.
l am in for good roads and good laws
as well. / concur with the former
grand jury: Issue bonds or something
better. II Cobb county is able to make
donation of five thousand dollars to
the Agricultural College, without au-
thority of law, as was recommended by
the last grand jury, why not make the
same donation to public roads. which
would benefit four or five times as
many people, and would be a better
work in my opinion, and would work
equal justice to the renter and wage
Garner, who own no land, and have no
wood to haul? My motto is, to do
justice to all, and special privileges to
none. FARMER

A number of reasons have been
suggested to explain the fact
that all the United States
postage stamps for 1907 to be
issued from the 5000 Presiden-
tial offices will bear each the name
of the State and city in which the
postoffice is situated. Twenty-six
of the 5000 postofices will have
these names engraved ugon their
stamps, while in the case of the
other postoffices the names will be
printed across the face of the
stamps after they have been en-
graved. The chief reason for the
change is said at the Postoffice
Department to be the belief that
it will help to do away with the
big postoffice robberies and make
it much easier 10 trace criminals.
The postofice robbery in Chicago
a few years ago is a good example
of the ease with which stolen post
age stamps can be disposed of, for
no trace of the perpetrators was
ever discovered, although nearly
hundred thousand dollars worth
of stamps were stoler, and these
mostly of small denominations.

1000 ASKED FOR EACH SCHOOL.

Said He Favors It.

II am in favor of a measure
providing for an expansion of
the currency by national banks,
based upon securities approved
by the bank examiners and the
Secretary of the Treasury, to
meet any unusual or extraordin-
airy demand, under such condi-
tons and restrictions as to in
sure the tirement of such circu-
latiOn when THE abnormal de-
mand for it ceases. Banks
should be subjected to careful
examination, enforcing prudent
and conservative methods. A
too redundant currency is al
most more damaging and dan
gerous than the reverse, as it
promotes wild speculation and is
the mother of innumerable get
rich-quick' schemes, the ultimate
effect of which upon the bust
ness community is much the
same as the reaction from the
delirious exhiliration induced by
oxer-indulgence in alcoholic bev-
erages.
An effort will no doubt be
made to create the impression
throughout the country that the
vigorous policy of the Admins
tration in enforcing the laws
| against powerful interests is, to
a large degree, responsible for
the prevailing conditions, and
thereby to discredit President
Roosevelt.
"Such an attempt will fail, for
the reason that the people have
THE fullest confidence in the
motives and purposes of the
President that he is trying to in
culcate in the management OF
vast industrial enterprises a
greater regard and consideration
for the rights of the people, and
the absolute inexorbitant, dis
criminatory and unjust methods
in dealing with the public; or, in
other words, he is insisting upon
square deal for the people
Any challenge of his policies in
this respect by those whose en-
nifty he has incurred will de.
mand and insure his candidacy
and election as the next Presi,
dent"

Howell on Situation
Continued from first page

portion Of this period, at least,
the subject of finance has been
before Congress, and measures
have been pending providing for
a more elastic currency; but
Congress, not being impressed
with the necessity, has failed to
enact any important legislation
on this subject other than pro-
viding for an increased issue by
national banks, based on Govern
ment bonds.
Cause of Stringency.
Now, what has produced the
existing financial stringency 1t
is given ont that it is the distrust
of the people that prompts them
to withdraw their deposits and
thus retire vast sums from cir
culation. But as far as the
country ait large is concerned, at
the time the crash came the peo-
pie were serenely confident and
prosperous. The alarm came
from the banks in the great
financial centers and was herald
ed throughout the land in the
most effective manner, so timed
as to alarm the saving class and
unduly agravate the situation.
Railroad and industrial
stocks had been, for long time
prior to the recent great decline,
selling at unreasOnably high
prices. The dear public was the
purchasers of these high-priced
securities; and the stock manipu-
lators having satiated the public
demand, are quite content to
stand from under and let their
house of cards fall asunder,
knowing full well they can re-
acquire those stocks when they
have struck bottom. 1t would be
a very interesting disclosure if it
could be ascertained just what
amount of boarding has been
done by the Standard Oil crowd,
the Amalgamated Copper syndi-
cate and other powerful financial
interests closely affiliated with
them, and whether they are not
in most excellent strategic
financial position for just such a
business furry as the country is
now passing through.
1.-THE banks throughout the
country, following the lead of
the New York banks, and as a
temporary emergency measure,
by liberation have issued certifi-
Gates based upon securities APP
proved by their own associations
and have, in effect, in this way
increased their deposits. Only
the direct necessity can Justify
this system, and then only as a
temporary expedient.
Il fully approve the prompt
and salutary relief measures ia
ken by the Administration. The
results of them will be immedi-
ately and immensely helpful. The
financial experts of the Senate
and House will no doubt have
some well-considered legislation
ready to present for the consid-
Grafton of Congress. The issues
and questions involved W i'll be
carefully considered. and rem
edy will be found. The Republi-
can party has never failed to
grasp any grave situation con-

The Incident That Cured the Crest
Paganini Of Gambling.

Paganini Of Gambling.
When Nicolo Paganini Yves only If
teen years Of age, 1t is said, he left his
fathers house and plunged into reck.
less life of dissipation and gambling.
AT times his losses at the gaming table
even compelled him tos part with his
violin. This occurred at Leghorn.
where he was billed for concert. a
resident French merchant and anna
teur NJ. Liyron, hearing OF his diem
ma, loaned him q Joseph Guarnerius.
When Paganini went to return It after
the concert the enthusiastic Frenchman
exclaimed, Never shall my hands pro-
fame the instrument which yours have

the virtuoso This became Paganini's
fayorite violin and Id the one he left
to the city Of Genoa, where IL q exhib-
ited IN the municipal palace. The
threatened loss Of this instrument
cured him Of gambling. According to
Paganini himself, his means had been
reduced at the gaming table to a few
francs, and he felt that he would be
obliged to accept q standing of1er for
his much priced Guarnefius made to
him BY q prince who greatly coveted It.

Queer Weather Foreeastina.

One of the rites performed by the
French peasants on New Years eve is
the forecasting Of the weather for the
coming year by means Of onions.
When the bells ring for midnight mass
they scoop out the middles Of twelve
onions, set them In row on the
kitchen table, fill them with salt and
name them for the months Of the year.
Then when they return from mass they
examine the condition Of the salt. II
It has melted in any of the months .
those months viii be rainy; If the salt
remains dry, it indicates drought; Il
half melted, the first fortnight of the
month will be wet. The peasants have

Hammers.

Hammers are represented on the
monuments OF Egypt twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly resembled
the hammer now in use, save thet there
were no claws on the back for the ex-
traction Of nails. The first hammer
was undoubtedly a stone held in the
hand. Claw hammers were invented
some time during the middle ages. II
Illuminated manuscripts OF the eleventh
century represent carpenters with claw
hammers. Hammers are Of all sizes,
from the dainty instruments used by
the jeweler, which weigh less than half
an ounce, to the gigantic fifty ton ham,

some Of which weigh as much as fifty
tons and have falling force Of from
ninety to hundred. Every trade has

diamonds In His Shoes.

Diamond ornaments in shoes bark
back to the days Of the Revolutionary
war and were worn by merchants Of
Boston in those days. Thomas Russell
Of Charlestown, who died in 1895, was
one of the most active of business men
of his day in Boston and the first to
engage in the American trade with
Russia after the Revolution. His dress
was typical of his time and is thus
described In an old print HE usually
wore a coat Of some light colored cloth,
small clothes, diamond buckles at the
knees and in the shoes, silk stockings,
powdered hair and a cooked hat and in
cold weather a scarlet cloak. Boston
