A Standard man voiced the general
regret of the district that Mr. Lee has
declared that he would not again be q
candidate for congress after the expira-
ton of the term for which he has just
been re-nominated and suggested the
desire of the people that he change his
mind in this matter. He stated, how"
ever, that he meant exactly what ne
said, and would not again be candl-
date for the place he is filling so salts
factorily.-Cedartown Standard
If Congressman Lee will leave it to
the people, we believe they would re-
elect him. He has made a most etfi-
cient, energetic and satisfactory repre-
sentative. There is no clsp-trap or
eogotism about him, but conscien-
tious, faithful and able congressman
that gets results. He is gentlemanly
considerste and courteous, and the peo-
pie are pleased with HIM

Honest Scales.
w 7. DUMAS,
Superintendent Of Schools.

A few days ago we made mention of
a new computing scale put into use by
Messrs. Fsw & Rogers. We have no.
ticad several of this new style scale in
use here, and upon investigation find
that the following merchants have
adopted the Toledo Springless Auto
matte weighing machine and use
it exclusively. H. V. Manning, meat
market, has two; B. G. Goggins l. Co..
groceries, have two; Fsw & Rogers.
groceries, has one, and A. B. Gilbert.
groceries, has one. By the use of
these scales, these merchants guaran.
tee honest weight to each customer.
We have heard that there are such
things on the market as dishonest
scales, made so for the purpose of cheat
ing the customer. If such is the case,
we trust none of our merchants will
be guilty OF using them. However, the
above named merchants have evidently
been alive to this fact, and have guard
ed against it by adopting an honest
scale that protects the customer bv in
dlcatIng to him the correct weight of
the commodity he is buying. This in
dlcatlon is in plain view on the custom
er's side Of the scale, and the above
named merchants invite their custom
ers to visit their stores and watch the
indication when making purchase
We trust it will not be long until all of
our merchants fall into line and guar
antee to their customers this proteo-
ton by a visible indication of all
weights. #x@

MOSQUITOES OF THREE KINDS.

1t is announced that there are three
principal varieties of mosquitoes. They
are the stegomyia, which scatters seeds
of kindpess in the form of yellow fever ;
the anopheles, which specializes on ma
laria, and the solicitaus, or striped leg
variety, which is organized under the
New Jersey corporation laws and pro-
duces bite that resembles bad case
of eiephantiasis epldermis, says the
Providence Journal.
There are other varieties Of mosqui-
toes than those here mentioned, but

happens to be on the job is stegomyia

WHAT TAX RETURNS SHOW.

Tax returns from all the counties of
the State show that property values
have increased IS. 296, l3e. Ninety-eight
counties show increased values, while
forty-eight show decreased. The first
amount to $14, $50, 395, and the latter to
SO, 1854 ,256.
From the net increase will have to be
subtracted large decrease which will
probably be shown in the returns of
public utility property to the comp
troller general. Nearly every railroad
and street car company made decreased
returns, and few have been increased
above last years figures by arbitration
boards. The aggregate decrease will
amount to several million dollars.

The Safety Pin.

1.-THE originator of the safety
PIN" said historian of inventions,
"was little boy, an English black
smiths son. The little boy, Harri,
son by name, had to look after his
baby brother. The baby often cried,
and its tears were usually to be
traced to pin punctures. The boy
nurse tried long time to bend pins
into such a form that they could be
used with safety to his brothers
flesh.
'1n this he failed, but his father,
the blacksmith, perceiving the util-
ity of the idea the lad had been at
work on, took it up on his own ac-
count and eventually turned out the
safety pin that is in use today all
over the world"

ANCIENT SWORDS.
The Famous Old 1.-TWO Handler" Was
Terrible Weapon.

Terrible weapon.
In the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries the develop
ment of the sword was carried for
ward rapidly. Hitherto the mill
tarv organization of Europe had
been of the most irregular charac-
ter, but in the fourteenth century
the German troops and the men
from the Swiss mountains became
known far and wide for their thor
ougM discipline and their excellent
organization. They approached
more nearly to the modern notion
of soldier than any troops that
had yet been put in the field, and
they were employed as hired troops
by the various European sovereigns.
They were armed with pistol and
huge two handed, sword, which,
through their marvelously skillful
handling, became one of the most
famous weapons Of the army. This
'"two handler" as the Germans called
it, often reached a length of seven
feet, and one still preserved in
Westminster abbey weighs quite
eighteen pounds.
The wavy outline of the blade,
style of decoration that was much
in favor in the arts about this time
and from which came our word
"famboyant," or flaming" gave
greater efficacy to the blow. The
prongs below the crosspieces pro-
tected the guard. Welded by train
ed men, this weapon was capable of
doing terrific execution. The brawny
man-at-arms grasped the sword
firmly in both hands. Balanced on
one foot, he swung the blade in a
circle above his head and fetched a
crashing blow that moved down ev-
erything before it. It was a favorite
weapon with the English soldiery, to
whose strongly built frames its huge
proportions were well adapted.
Richard the Lion Hearted, who
from his great size alone would
have been the foremost man on any
field, handled this heavy weapon
with such strength and skill that his
name became a>terror to the foe.
According to an old romance, an
expert swordsman might hope to
leave sixty of the enemy disabled on
the field. But these mighty brands
had all the faults of their virtues.
Like the cumbrous armor Of the
Gothic period, they were sore tax
on the spent energies of the weary
soldier, and owing to their awkward
size extreme care was required in
handling them lest an unexpected
blow might be bestowed upon some
fellow soldier in the furious assault

MISREPRESENTATION
PROVES HARD PUZZLE
DOCTORS DISAGREE AS TO HIS
SANITY

ing queerly. Police Surgeon E. II. Gar

had been taken from him when he was
arrested. He was placed in the lower
tank as an escape.
Jailer John McCauley saw him in
there and had him transferred to the
detention ward as insane, and he was
examined by DR.. Charles Bonynge, who
issued a certificate.
Saturday morning another jailer had
him examined by DR.. e. H. Wiley, who
pronounced him sane. and he was sent
out with the chain gang to work on the

fore a commission to decide as to his

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-After
five hours of heated debate in the
course of which the chairman found 1t

sons elected from the hall, the San
Francisco branch of the Pacific Coast
Exclusion league, by vote of SO to IA
today adopted a substitute for the reso-
luton offered last week indorsing both
the national and state tickets of the
Democratic party, the substitute re-
affirming the non-partlsan attitude OF
the league and leaving to the discretion
of the members the support of such
candidates as they believe will best
safeguard the coast from oriental in
vasion.
The meeting was an adjourned one,
having been carried over from last
Sunday, when the original resolution
was brought forward by Andrew Fur
usreth. AS the resolution was po-
litical one, Chairman Tveitmoe an
nounced in opening the meeting that
representatives of all political parties
had been invited to address the gath
ering.
Among those who spoke were Con-
gressmen Julius Kahn and r. A.
Hayes. Mr.. Furusreth, supporting his
resolution, quoted extracts from
speeches. of both the Republican and
Democratic candidates for president,
and julius Kahn replied. precipitating
a wordy battle in which he exchanged
many uncomplimentary remarks with
Furusreth.
Andrew Gallagher, president of the
local labor council, then offered the
substitute measure and after more de-
bate, during which the meeting threat
ened to break up in riot, so stormy
grew the session, this resolution was
adopted
