OILERS SEEK WORK

With the closing of saloons, the
problem of the idle negro has been
largely solved, according to reports
from this and other sections of the
state.
In Americas up to Jan. 1 a gang
of idle negroes could be found in
front of the barrooms at any time
during the day Since these estab-
lishments have been closed these me-
groes have disappeared. Many of them
have sought and found work, or will
be ready for active operations as
soon as the farmers are ready to be-
gin preparations for the new crop.
This will of course, be delightful
change, as the labor problem has
been a most trying one for the cotton
growers.
From Macon and Atlanta the same
reports come The closing of the sa-
looms has eased the labor situation
and removed from the streets idle
negroes and white men. Having no
where to loaf, they have found it
necessary to get down to work, to the
great benefit of their families and the
community at large.
Arrests in the larger cities for
drunkenness are very few and the
police stations are often tenantless.
Both as an industrial and moral
proposition the prohibition law seems
to have hit the right spot.

MICROBES ON
VARIOUS COINS

PARIS, January s. (SpeciaD
A French sayant has just finished
counting the microbes that infest
French coins handled daily. 1t seems
that the copper coin with which a
waiter is usually tipped, or which is
used for car fare, contains from
$500 to 1900 bacteria; gold pieces
harbor from 900 to $500 microbes
while silver 'coins have only from $50
to 2,100.
The reason why the bacteria are
so numerous is because their ranks
are continually filled up with new
corners as the coins pass from hand
to hand. Silver is real antisep-
tic, as it kills any microbes which
alight on it in very short time, and
the number of microbes found on
silver coins, as the scientist has
proved, is far smaller than those on
gold and copper. Of course, as is
well known, paper money is the
worst for it contains no antiseptic
qualities whatever, and microbes sim
pie revel in bank notes.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Under the new ruling of the United
States Postal Department, which went
into effect on January /, 1908, daily
newspapers are prohibited, under
penalty, from sending papers by mail
to subscribers who are more than
three months in arrears. Under this
law it will be necessary for the
Times Recorder, in common with
other newspapers, to require all SUBJ
scribers receiving their papers by
mail to keep their subscriptions paid
up to at least within three months. In
accordance with this, statements will
be mailed in a few days to all who
are more than three months in ar
rears, requesting remittances to
bring their subscriptions within the
limits laid down by the pOstOffice de-
partment at Washington.

SMITH AND THE SENATORSHIP

From sources very close to Gov
ernor Smith" the Atlanta Georgian
is able to announce that Gov. Smith
will soon announce that he will try
for the United States Senate to sue
coed Senator Clay 1t was a most
mastery stroke in the Governors
campaign manager to let the news
percolate through the Georgian first,
instead of being disseminated through
his own paper. The ice having been
broken to the Georgians constituent
cy, it will be merely a news story for
the Journal, instead of an ex cathedra
utterance.
Ever since Gov Smith has grasped
the fact that the reaction had set in,
and as he watched it grow in volume,
he has been duly impressed with the
idea that it is a now or never" case
with his Senatorial aspirations The
tide is ebbing fast and the chances
of the Governor being landed a dere-
lict on the beach are fine
His only hope for further honors
is that he can rally the remnant of
his former legions in last desper-
ate stand and wrest the laurels from
the junior Senator.
Comments have recently been made
in the news columns of the daily
press on the apparent lack of hurrah
| methods in the Clay campaign for
reelection. the Senator having con-
tented himself with shaking hands
with thousands of friends over the
state 1t is evident that he does
not feel much alarmed over the as
pirations of Gov. Smith, which have
no doubt been perceived long since
Senator Clay is onto his job and
has doubtless been treasured by
what he discovered However, he
will doubtless be prepared to check
mate any ambitions which the Chief
Executive may have on his seat in
the Upper House.
Georgia has already suffered too
much from the demagogy of Gov.
Smith and his inspired followers. 1t
will take years to fully eradicate the
evils which he has invited. To send
him to the Senate, though he would
be far less harmful to the interests
of Georgia there, than in his present
place, would be too much like endors-
ing his policies The citizenship of
Georgia is moving away from such
an endorsement about as fast as their
pedal extremities can carry them.

PHILADELPHIA. PA, Jan. s.
(SpeciaD-A STAMP from one of her

grandmother has brought to 12-year-

Va, $500, the highest price ever paid
for an American stamp in America, at

The stamp is one of the few of the
Provisional issue, printed by the post

printed in black ink on light blue
paper. All the other stamps of this
issue heretofore known are printed in
black on buff paper. The stamp is
circular in shape and the size Of a

are encircled by the words "Postof-

Atlanta is making it exceedingly
hot for violators of the prohibition
law. A negro convicted of running
a blind tiger was sent up for thirty
days, his restaurant license revoked,
and he stands an excellent chance of
falling into the clutches Of the Fed

term in prison is out. Another negro
joinist was given twelve months for
selling pint of whiskey. Prospec-
tive violators of the law will at least
think twice before taking chances.

DEATHS.

Judge James Edward Cantrill
passedsaway at his home on Chambers
avenue, in Georgeton, at o'clock Sun
day morning. The end came quietly,
the patient apparently sinking into a
gentle Sleep
Judge james Edward Csntrill, law
yer, son of Edward F. and Susan F.
Cantrill, was born June 20, 1888, in
Bourbon county, Kentucky. The an
ceStors of this distinguished member
OF the bar were natives of the COM
monwealth of Virginia, from which
they emigrated at an early day; his
grandfather settling in Bourbon
county, KY. His father was farmer
in this fertile region of the State.
Judge Cantrill attended common
school in the neighborhood of his
home, until about 10 years of age. He
then entered Georgetown College,
graduating at that Institution in the
year of 1858. After leaving college
he commenced the study of law in the
Office of Mr.. Polk, in the class consist
ing of Rev. j. c. Morris, of Louisville !;
Hon. j. r. Ward, of Cyntihana; w.
r. Webb and two or three others.
He was an excellent soldier, brave
and refined gentleman.
A Mason in high standing, a MEM
Der of the Knights Templar, and Past
Grand Commander of the Grand Com
mandery of Kentucky, his influence as
a fraternal man was wide and varied.
He was married June 5, 1869, to Miss
Jennie Moore, of Fayette county. They
had one child, Hon. Flames Campbell
Cantrill, VINO survives.
The wife who survives him was Miss
Mary Cecil, of Danville. Cecil Can

Indian Oil Company, Georgetown.
The funeral services will be held this
Tuesday, afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Mr.. Goe. w. Davis, our well-known
Paris undertaken has charge of the

the largest ever held in the State.
Charles Riley Grammar died Fri
day at Rawhide, New. of pneumonia.
He was the son of Mrs. Anna Gran
non, of this city, and was IN his 3Sth
year of age at the time of his death.
He is survived by his mother, three
brothers and two sisters
Joseph and Lizzie, of Cincinnati. and
City Attorney VIM. Grammar and Miss
Mary Grammar, who RESIDE with their
mother in this city.
Few men in the world of sport and
fewer followers OF the turf have had a
more spectacular career than that of
Riley Grammar.
At the age of II he left his humble
nome to hustle in the world. He sold
programs at the race tracks in Ken
tucky in spring. summer and fall and
in winter worked in hotels. He was an
elevator boy in the Gibson House in
Cincinnati and at the old st. Charles
Hotel in New Orleans. He had won
