LEGISLATIVE BUNCOMBE.

The passage by the house of rep
resentatives of a confederate service
pension bill, adding approximately
$1,000,0OJ to the expenditures of
the state, is palpably about the
cheapest and most consciously futile
play to the galleries in which the
lawmakers of the state have INDUCED
for many long day.
1t is an affront to the intelligence
of Georgians who are informed with
regard to the actual facts of the case,
and a reflection on the men and wo-
men who, on paper, are to be the
chief benefciaries of its enactment.
The innovation under discussion is
obviously framed in insincerity and
Inconsistency, and the people ought
to know the details Of the political
sought to be foisted on
their Credulity.

Georgia is able to say how a dollar
of it is to be paid.
The state has already reached the
constitutional limit of 5 mills, and
under even these conditions this
same legislature finds itself utterly
at a loss to raise revenue for the
urgent support of the institutions Of
the state.
This measure, if law, would per-
haps double the tax rate of the state
In full knowledge of these facts
the house enacts a measure which
will add another million dollars to
the obligations of Georgia
And does not even suggest a way
in which the obligation is to be met,
Further than this, the house re-
jected an amendment to put this
question before the people, driven
to this act of plain evasion by it's
innermOst belief that the voters of
Georgia would not approve any such
break of legislative caprice.
The thing is so evidently an effort
to make a little cheap political
grandstand play at the expense Of
consistency, and even possibility, as
to require no elucidation.-Atla

The Western Railroads Having Much
Less Trouble Than Formerly.
From the west comes the news
that many railroads are cutting down
their detective and police forces
which are employed to keep tramps
off their property. Railway managers
in the far west declare that the
tramp evil is disappearing; that
Weary Willies' have given up the
tie routes and gone to work.
Which, if true, is comforting in
formation. Since the civil war the
country every year has been bur-
dened by an army of men too lazy
to work. They have pillaged farm
houses, freight depOts and unpro-
tected stores. The winters SHOWS
send them south, the blooms Of April
bring them north.
In a statement made by an officer
of the Pennsylvania railroad some
time ago that company is alleged to
have lost every year since the in
vasion east of COxey's army $1,000
GOO because of tramps. They have
wrecked trains, carelessly set fire to
warehouses, with occasional raids on
some ticket office safe.

New York correspondence to the

grass. He arrested him, and in the
Iorkville court Magistrate Moss sent
the prisoner, who could not tell his

The man wore nothing but a coat
and a pair of trousers. Moore ap-

jackrabbit and darted to a clump of

A POLITICAL STORM MAKER

Norwood Days Recalled.
This writer heard Tom Watson de-
liver what was probably his first pub
lie political speech.
1t was in the Georgia democratic
convention of 1880, when Colquitt
failed to secure the two-thirds vote
necessary to secure the nomination
for governor, and was followed by
the famous Colquitt-NorwoOd con-
test. Watson was young and
"fl3ghty" then, as he is older and
'fighty" now.
Opposing the nomination of Col
quit, and contending against an ad-
journment without a nomination, he
spoke of the democracy as being in
a precariOus condition, and quoted
a verse from Old Ironsides:
Then nail to the mast her holy flag;
Set every threadbare sail
And give her to the God of storms,
The lightning and the gale
Ever since then he has been fur
nishing the storm for the democratic
party.-Perry Home Journal

a Waste of Drifting Sand.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-From a
waste of drifting sand Gary, Ind,
has grown in two years into a city
of 10000 inhabitants. 1t is we'll on
the way to become the greatest steel
rity in the world, with the possible
exception of Pittsburg, and if the
ultimate plans for an expenditure of
$50, 100000 are carried out in full
it will easily take the premier rank
in the marketing Of iron and steel
products. Where bandits hid be-
hind scrubby bushes or in caves in
1906, Broadway, a thOrOughfare a
hundred feet wide, paved with as
phalt and having 17-foOt concrete
walks on either side, stretches three
miles south from Lake Michigan.
Furnishing the industrial and COM
mercial basis for the new city is the
immense plant of the United States
Steel Corporation, in which nearly
$30,OOO,000 already is invested
Even now this project is on such a
vast scale that its very bigness daZes
one who sees it for the first time
And when it is realized that only one
fifth of the sum eventually to be
spent on the plant has now been
used the imagination must be
brought into play to conceive what

Employees to Own Their Homes.
Comprised in the first subdivision
of Gary-the part originally pur-
chased by the steel corporation as
the nucleus for the founding of the
city--is 5000 acres, or II p square
miles of territory, with a frontage on
Lake Michigan of nearly eight miles
On this land the steel corporation
has built 700 or 500 houses, for the
use Of employees Of the concern only.
These houses are not elaborate af-
fairs, but they are roomy, comforta-
BILE and healthful.
1t is not the purpose of the cor
poratiOn to own these homes per
manenuy or to retain the building

have its employees own them, and it
would like to restrict them to en-
plOyes entirely if that were possible
Business lots in Broadway, the
main mercantile street, have been
withdrawn from the market because
the commercial building has out
grown that in the residential district
and the town is, therefore, top
heavy. The steel corporation does
not wish to make the mistake of too
much paternalism, as was the case
at Pullman. 1t is in Gary to make
steel products.

4 FATAL ACCIDENT.
Young Boy at Springvale Shot Him.
self With Gun.

AS the result of a gunshot wound
Osborne Dunn Lowe, a fifteen-year-
old boy of Springvale, met his death
on Saturday. He had been hunting
on Friday, and in attempting to
draw his gun by the muzzle from
the back of the buggy the weapon
was discharged, the load entering
his stomach. He lived about twenty
four hours He was the adopted son
of Rev and Mrs. J. r. Lowe OF

I make short work of his audacious foe; but
he had to deal with one whose strength anu

among all the men of that iron time.
His heaviest blows were turned aside ike
rain drops, with a force that made his sword
arm tingle to the very shoulder blade, and
repaid with such strokes as, with all OF his
experience of hard fighting, he had never
felt or seen before.
Twice the outlaws armor gave. way be,
meath those thlndering blows, which no SIKH
could ward off; and, bleeding fast from two
deep wounds, he felt his strength beginning
to fail.
Maddened by the thought of being over,
come by this man, whom he had insulted ana
defed, De Gourdon grasped his sword with
both hands and few at the stranger IKE
reused lion; but the latter sprang nlmpiy
aside from the coming stroke, and repaid 1t
with blow on the helmet that split the tenn
pered steel like a nutshell and beat down the
giant to the earth, as if crushed by falling
rock.
One more such blow and all would have
been over; but the victor stayed his upllfted
hand and said, with "a ring of true warrior
like admiration in, his deep voice.
"'Twere sin and shame to say SO stout a

''Never, till now, have I met my match in
fight, and care not to live, now that have
been overcome"
"Nay, speak not thus" said the knight,
earnestly. every man meets his match,
sooner or later, and / would fain see at my
court the best knight with whom have ever
fought"
"fhy court?" echoed the fallen man, look
ing up at him, in wonder. "Who art thou,

"I am Edward Pantagenet, Prince Royal
of England" answered his conqueror, in a
tone Of majesty, worthy of the future Ed
ward L.
"Thank heaven" muttered the fainting out

unworthy handi"
"Dies? Not sol" cried Edward, as firmly

antagonist with glance of fearless disdain.
II am the king of the woodland, and OF
all who are therein" answered the outlaw,
drawing up his mighty form to its full height,
and pointing his words with a significant Hour
ish of his formidable weapon.
"The kingi" echoed the rider, with scorn-
full smile; "a proper king, truly! Bow down
to thy liege lord quote the carrion crow 10
the eagle. By st. George of England,
king who dares not tell his name is no king
for me"
"Dares not?" cried -the strange spearman,
laughing grimly. "By St Hubert of the
forest, / would fain see that thing which /
dare not do! And as for my name, methinks
thou hast heard it before; l am Sir Adam de
Gourdon."
The horseman started slightly and looked
with new interest at the bearer of a name
as formidaby renowned in that age as the
name of Robin Hood had been century be-
fore, or as those of Claude Duval and Cap
tam Whitney were destined to become four
centuries later.
"I have heard thy name," answered he,
sternly; "and it is the name of rebel, a
traitor and a robber"
'Thou liest!" retorted the outlaw, with a
frown as black as midnight.
From the cavaliers large, dark eyes there
shot fiery gleam of wrath, sudden and ter
rible as lightning in moonless sky; but the
momentary flash of anger passed as quickly
as it came, and he replied simply:
"Such words pass not unpunished. Make
thee ready to- battle while alight, for never
shall it be said that l fought on horseback
against a single man on foot"
So saying, he threw his long lance on the
ground, leaped from his horse. and tying
him to tree, drew his sword and stood
ready for the combat.
This deliberate remuneration of so great an
advantage, and the stern calmness of the
strangers tone and bearing, cowed the savage
outlaw, in spite Of himself.
He felt the presence of q stronger spirit
than his own, and was awed for the first time
in his life; but, fercely shaking off this mo-
mentary hesitation, he unsheathed his own
sword and fell ON like giant.

In short time the prince was leading his
war horse through the wood, and supporting
in the saddle with his powerful hand the
dropping figure of his late adversary.
In an upper chamber in the Castle Of York
sat richly dressed old man, whose glitter
ing robes contrasted weirdly with his pale
pinched, sicky face, in every line OF when
could be read but too plainly the weakness
for this was no other than the Knight himself

came forward to greet him, with loving
smile upon the rosy lips that were to suck
the poison from her husbands wound, a few
years later, on the burning plains of Pales-

He bent his knee gracefully to the King as
he spoke, and the Princess of England knelt

And then the Queen, as if bent upon atom

stepped forward with smile, and said,

steward of our household from this day forth,
being well assured that thou wilt do us true
and loyal service; and God grant that every
prince may be thus generous, and that every
