ARE STILL ON THEIR ! JOBS
But AK Will Fall on Necks of Oil
Inspectors When New Gov
eTnOr Goes in.

New commissions for the eighty
OF inspectors employed by the state
were sent out by Commissioner of
Agriculture Hudson and went into
effect October LIST. Every oil inspect
ors commission expired the day be-
fore, but with the exception of a few
minor jobs all the present inspectors
were reappointed, including Mr.. F.
NJ. McNulty of Dawson.
Many of them, however, were anx-
ious. For some time past Commits
sioner Hudson has been besieged not
only by inspectors holding Jobs and
desiring to keep on the states nav
roll, but by others who wanted to
get on.
Supporters of the incoming admin
istration, of course, were on the look
out for plums when the political plum
tree was shaken by Mr.. Hudson.
but if any of these supporters were
looking for fat plums now in the DOS
session of others they were disap-
pointed
Those changes which were made
were of only few minor Jobs along
this line and all those in the big cities
were kept on the job. This was the
case in Atlanta, where the place is
held by Shelby Smith, who went into
office after taking prominent part
in Fulton in Governor Smiths cam
paign. 1t is said compromise has
been effected in this case and that
after serving a year Mr.. Smith will
be succeeded by Joe Brown man.

OUR BLIND CITIZENS.
A Full Census Does Not Exist, But

From Everybodys Magazine.
The enumeration of the blind by
the United States census is like all
vital statistics for the nation as a
whole, unsatisfactory. Blind per-
sons cannot be registered like sheep
or bales of cotton. And the demo-
cratic United States government
lacks the power of other govern
ments to compel a proper report on
such undemocratic matters as birth,
death, and disease. The federal CEN
sus cannot at present undertake 10
make a proper record of all the blind
in the country, but it can mark out
certain areas for exhaustive investl-
cation, which will afford better
basis for educational and legislative
action than a Swimming enumeration
which attempts to deal with the
whole. And the sovereign states
can each take up the work. So far
Massachusetts, and New York are the
Emily states that have made anything

York state commission has individual
records Of $500 blind, but the leg

Some People May Prefer to Eat Other
Than Potato Gum.

Than Potato Gum.
The gum on postage stamps is said
to be made from sweet potatoes.
Judge insists that in republic this
is catering to the taste of a few.
Says that philosophical journal:
THE sweet potato is not a bad
thing, but there are thousands of us
with cultivated gastronomic tastes
who prefer other eatables, like Cam
embert cheese, canvas-back duck,
Holsters, shrimp salad and so on
there are even people who can eat
squash relish. Wherefore, why
sweet potatoes exclusively? Are all
of these other tastes to be ruthlessly
ignored because some bureaucrat
likes sweet potatoes? We troW not

The case went up from the city

Woodall, negro preacher, was con-
victed. Woodall was the pastor of a
church which decided to call another
leader. When pastor No. 2 came he
was restrained by WoOdall and his
friends from entering the pulpit, and
Woodall proceeded to preach. He
was arrested for disturbing divine
worship, but the higher court de-
clined to sustain the verdict.
