The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-03-23

In Hotchkss recently a school teacher was talking about firefiies. None of the children had ever seen frefiy. One lit- tie fellow, the son of a prominent resi- dent of the town, stated, however, that his father must have seen many of them, as he frequently remained away from home until or o'clock in the morning.
 A few days ago Sid Simpson of Breck- enrdge dropped an open-faced watch down an ore shoot. The ore haulers watched for it, and that evening it was found in a wheelbarrow load of ore at the sampler in town. The watch was still running and the crystal was not broken. It had been shoveled into the wagon at the mine, into bin at the sampler and then into the wheelbarrow

SOFT COAL SMOKE
Annoying ResidsnIs h. vlcinliy
 ei New Railroad Slailon. {

Work is progressing favorably on the grading of the steep embank- ment along Meadow street opposite the new depot. The park will be a thing of beauty, but the elevation at the depot is bound to raise the mis- chief with residence property In that neighborhood. The place was low be- fore and the smoke didn't hit the houses right; but now the grade is about even with the houses and the Hack smoke from the engines has already shown sort of predilectioh for hanging around nice parlors and handsome bedrooms with the re- suit that already one family has de- cided to locate elsewhere and others will soon follow. Speaking of this matter 1t might not be amiss to add that many charge the board or health with lack of efficiency be- cause of It's shilly-sha!lying policy relative to the use of soft coal Tn different parts of the city. This they claim, should be stopped or those using 1t obliged to build higher smoke stacks.

The Ladies' auxiliary of the A. O. H. held 2 rousing meeting last even- Ing, and besides transacting muck business of an important nature, a literary and musical programme of more than ordinary interest was carried out. Mrs Alice R. Mooney, the president of the association, de- livered an interesting address on Robert Emmet, the Irish martyr. Last Sunday was the anniversary of Emmet's birth and the occasion was taken to honor his memory by ap. propriate remarks, music and songs. After Mrs Moneys address. which. was most interesting, and was thor- oughly enjoyed. Miss Catherine Gleason sang, 70 Breathe Not His Name' in most charming mans.S~. Mrs Charles Teller, formerly known as Miss Mary Dunn. and one of Wa terbury's most p6pular and pleasing sopranos, rendered She Is Far From the Land" in manner which showb that she still has a voice that can please and entertain. Mrs F. J. Boyce's selection was Ireland, | Love You" and her rendition of 1t was one of the gems of the even- ing. The exercises were brought to close by the singing by a quartette of that ever popular selection in Irish societies, Come Back to Erin" by Mrs Charles Teller, Mrs P. J. Boyce. Mrs J. H. Hurley and Miss Elizabeth Corcoran. The lit- erary and musical programme was arranged and looked after by Mrs E. Burke and Miss Rose Shanahan. At the business meeting plans were dis cussed for the study of Irish history during the coming winter, and five applicants presented their names for membership.

AL though Brophy is not a resident of this section he has been working for John Carroll for some time. His home is in Ansonia. He is not very very well known in this section and many were wondering who he was.
 The Cadets will have big crowd of rooters on hand Sunday when they meet the Stanley Parks at Rockville. The Brooklynites have had very little chance to shout this summer-except for the business mems team-and their stored up enthusiasm is likely to break loose Sunday. The Cadets are confident of defeating the Parks and "copping" the money.

The Joe Brohn Platform.

Those Hoke Smith alarmists, who pre-
dicted that the election Of Little Joe,
Brown" meant all sorts of reactlonary
measures, must have rubbed their eyes
good and hard when they read the plat
form adopted by the State Democratic
Convention last week. Considering the
source, it's mighty good platform. We
Popu1ists could, Of course, have done bet
ter, but we could hardly have expected a
regulation Democratic convention to do
better.
So far as the agitation of the prohibit
DRY law can be set at rest, the platform
accomplishes that purpose. The truth is,
there would never have been any uncer-
tainty about the matter, if Hoke Smith
himself had not dragged that issue into
the campaign by the hair Of its head,
when every person who was preserving
his mental balance knew perfectly we'll
that Toe Brown would not interfere with
the law if he could, and could not inter
fere with it if he would, The Jefferson
ian pointed out, time and again, that If
the people themselves were careful III
the selection of their representatives to
the legislature, they had nothing to fear
from either candidate for the Governor
ship.
The action of the convention also puts
a quietus upon those who contended that
the success Of Joe Brown would endanger
the Disfranchisement law. The Jefferson
ian declared it's confidence in Mr.. Brown,
and the action of the convention shows
that we were right He gave his word
that he was in favor Of the law and he
has made good.
We were exceedingly glad to note that
the convention rescinded those new rules,
which Hoke Smith and Boykin Wright
had concocted for the purpose of burylng
Populism and "Tom Watson" If the
success of Mr. Brown had accomplished
no other result, that alone would have
justified Our position during the cam
paign. The attempt to revolutionize our
Constitutional SYSTEM to rob the country
counties of their legal share of political
power, and the obliteration of the mi
nority by denying it any representation
even in the counties which it carried, was
one of the most nefarious and audacious
schemes that was ever put forth by I'M
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-07-02

opposing candidate, has taken the manly
position that he does not want the Office
unless he was honestly elected to it. In
stead of throwing any obstacles in the
way of a recount, Mr.. Alexander says
that, since the point has been raised by
Mr. Morris, he himself will begin an in
vestigation and ascertain what the truth
of the matter is, even if Mr.. Morris
should not do SO.
Mr.. Alexander can not be too aighly
commended for having taken this posi-
ton. 1t shows, that, whether he was
elected or not, he is a full-groWn man
that any county might be proud to have
as it's representative in the Georgia Leg
islature.
Suppose Geo. B. Mcclellan had been
equally courageous and patriotic-he
would have saved himself two years Of
abuse at the hands of VIM. Randolph
Hearst and the expenditure of $4,000 in
lawyer fees, It now appears, from the
New York, that there was no extensive,
wholesale false-counting, as charged by
Mr.. Hearst AS an evidence of this,
LuSTe were L 50 Dd1lOL DUKES lCCOuIALCu
last week, and the net gain to Mr.. Hearst
was three votes. In some of the ballot
boxes, the count, as actuall'- made just
after the polls were closed, was against
Mcclellan. No evidence whatever ap-
pears that there was any wholesale fraud
in the count against Mr.. Hearst. There
fore, had Mr.. Mcclellan been manly
enough to have taken, in New York, the
position which Mr.. Alexander has taken,
in Georgia, he would not have been for
two years the target for the violent abuse
of the Hearst newspapers, and source
of revenue to the lawyers.
AS a matter Of fact, fraudulent count
ing of ballots is an obsolete way of &C
complishing the purposes of the. ward
heeler and political boss. They have
found better WAYS of doing it." wavs
that are less easily exposed and much
more effective. By false representation
of the registered voter, and by the use
of "repeaters," the ballot box now is
: stuffed and the political boss can very
we'll afford to allow the contents Of the
box to be honestlv counted-he having
seen to it that the contents are just what
he wants them to be,

The Postal Bank.

Calhoun Ca, r. F. D. 4.
Dear Sir: Will you please explain the postal
banking system? Some say it would make
money harder to get Also the graduated land
tax. Please answer these through the Weekly
Jeffersonian. Respectfully,
C. r. MASON.
Answer.
While the details of the plan vary in
the matter of Postal Savings Banks &C
cording to the different countries in which
they are established, the general principle
is the same: to encourage thrift, insure
the safety of deposits and convenience to
the public. That money would be harder
to get" is utterly absurd. 1t is of the same
benighted type Of reasoning that holds
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-07-02
THE JEFFERsONIAN.

W. think the platform is eXaCtly rlgnt
when it proposes to reduce our Railroad
Commission to its original number OF
three, and to abolish the office of Special
Counsel. In a State like ours, where
railroad lines are comparatively few, and
the corporation systems comparatively
free from complexities, there is no need
of a larger commission than that which
we had under the Acts of the Legislature
which put that Constitution into force.
While we think that the Railroad Com
mission should have the benefit of legal
counsel when needed, VIC do not believe
it wise or necessary to the office OF At
torney to the Commission.
The Jeffersonian is also exceedingly
glad to see that the new administration
will deal with the Convict question. It
gia should traffic in her convicts and use
her sovereign right to punish crime as
source of revenue, Some system of pub
lie road working should be adopted, and
thus the motive to overwork, mistreat or
otherwise commercialize the convict, be
removed.
One very significant incident which
proves how unfounded were those state
ments that the Hamp McWhorter gang
was back in power, was the very enl-
phatic snub given to the Convict King,
Jim Smith, of Oglethorpe. This notorl-
Gus political corruptionist went to At
lanta in the full belief that he was one
of the heroes Of the hour. He came away,
knowing better.
Another most encouraging thing about
the State Convention of the Joe Brown
Democrats, was that such man as Hew-
lette Hall was made permanent chairman.
There is not better man in the State OF
Georgia. He is honest, capable and pa
triotic, free from narrow prejudices, above
all suspicion of corporate control. We
regard him as an infinitely better man
than Hoke Smiths chairman, Lawton
Miller. We venture the prediction that
if ever Hewlette Hall is called upon to
arbitrate the tax returns of the Southern
Railroad company, as Lawton Miller
was the corporation will not gain the
victory over the State and over our hon
est Comptroller-G General, as it did wher
Hoke Smiths Chairman acted as umpire
Another thing about the platform
which we like is it's declaration against
the early primary. In his Inaugural Ad
dress, Governor Smith promised to op
pose any primary which was called more
than 60 days before election-day. He
broke the promise and defended a pri
mary called four months before election
day.
We believe the next administration viii
