of being paid out of the public money.
This is the proper procedure. The
bond should be of such a nature that
| it is a genuine and continuous pro
lection to the public, and the expense
should not fall upon the official re-
quired to give it. Private bonds are
not as satisfactory as security COM
pany bonds, but no one could reas-
onably expect the State Treasurer, or
any other official giving a large bond,
to pay the cost of same out of his own
meagre salary.
The size of the bond that is to be,
in all likelihood, required of the
State Treasurer, accentuates the
meagreness of his compensation.
Think of it, handling five million dol
lars a year, required to give a two
hundred thousand dollar bond, and
paid the magnificent sum of two
thousand dollars year as salary!
Isn't this a reflection on Georgia?
The sooner this salary is raised in
some measure the better. 1t is stat
ed, and we believe not contradicted,
| that the salary has not been changed
in hundred years. 1t is a safe prop
osition that there is not a financial
concern in the entire country that
would think of offering so niggardly
salary to an official handling this
vast amount of money and performing
the important duties of receiving and
disbursing officer. The salary should
be raised to $4,000. That would be
inadequate compensation, but it
would be a step in the right direc-
ton.

GEORGIA'S FAVORITE SONS

The announcement from Denver
that the Georgia delegation viii put
in nomination Hon. Clark Howell fer
the e-presidential nomination, aud
the further announcement that the
wild and woolly northwest and the
windy metropolis of the lakes may
Unite in presenting the Hon. James
Hamilton Lewis for the same honor,
puts the grand old Empire State of
the South in the unique position OF
having two shots at the second honor
of the convention, for both Howell
and Lewis are Georgia's favorite
sons.
Out Of the hurry burly of the con-
vention no pen picture of the Atlanta
editor has yet come, but the admirers
of jim Ham, erstwhile native OF
Georgia, adopted son of the Pacific
slope, and then kidnapped into the
tribe of Chicago, have not been mod
est in portraying his beauties, his
charms, his graces, and his manifold
powers as a vote getter before the
wondering eyes of the nation. Here
we have him as delineated by the ar.
fist of the Washington Post:
The most unique spectacle the no.
tells of Denver have had to offer so
far to the advance guard of
delegates and convention visi-
tors is the Hon. Jim Ham Lewis, OF
Chicago, who has brought here the
same set of red WhiSkers which have
decorated other conventions in the
past, and which, his friends say, grow
more beautiful with advancing years.
Mr.. Lewis arrived III town last
evening wearing a suit of vivid gray.
with pearl gray Spats over black
shoes, and with a waistcOaJ to match
the spat Noticing the becoming styles
Of hats they were wearing here,
Mr.. Lewis hurried up to his room and
sem out a ballhoy for a whole yard
of blue material, which he tastefully
wrapped around his panama and pin
ned with common, ordinary pins.
With this hat surmounting the red
whiSkerS, Mr.. Lewis Immediately drew
the biggest kind of a crowd when he
appeared in the hotel corridors later
in the evening. AS he stood there in
a circle of admiring cowboys, plains
men and politicians, who watched him
stroke and curl those whiskers, along
came Representative Henry D. Clay
ton, of Alabama. Jim said Clay
ton, there's only one trouble with
those whiskers; you ought to have
them scrambled little bit more"
James Hamilton Lewis is a male
liberia Born on the sandhills of
Augusta, ushered into the mysteries
of the law in the Office of Judge
Chisholm in Savannah, married to one
of the bellies of Bulloch county, he
is Georgian who has sought to re-
fleet glory on his native state from
afar. AT one time he signed himself
as of Oregon, nee Georgia" His
body is in the West but his sentiment
tai soul still yearns for the old home
stead in the South. Whether it will
be Bryan and Howell, or Bryan and
Lewis, it is not yet possible to tell,
but whether it be Clark or Jim Ham

Six Months of Prohibition
Savannah Press. }

The Atlanta Journal has secured
several interviews upon the effect of
prohibition in Georgia for the first six
months of 1908. The experience of
those quoted make very interesting
reading. One unexpected results of an
interview with Chief Jennings of the
Atlanta police department was the
admission that many blind tigers exist
in Atlanta In view of the fact that
Atlanta, Macon and Augusta, having
been putting on a ''holier than thou
expression when discussing prohibi-
ton and Savannah, Chief Jennings
exposure of the real condition of af-
fairs in Atlanta is important Says
the Journal:
Chief of Police Henry Jennings
says that real crime has not
appreciably diminished, and from
that observation draws the conclusion
that all crime is not chargeable to
liquor.
The Chief admits that there are a
large numbero blind tigers operat-
ing in Atlanta, and says that his men
are daily ferreting them out and Sc
curing evidence for their conviction in
the state courts.
But he further says that the prOhi-
bition law is being enforced in Atlanta
as we'll as or better than in any other
city of the state, according to the in
formation that reaches him."
Mr.. j. H. Suber, the head of the rev.
enue agents in Georgia, Alabama and
Florida, like most government officers,
does not talk great deal and is very
careful as to his utterances on any
subject with which he has to deal.
His remarks upon the effect of pro-
hibtion in Georgia after a trial of
six months are therefore very signif-
cant. He believes illicit distilling has
increased in Georgia under the prohi-
bitiOn law.
He says that since the beginning of
the year approximately 300 stills have
been raided in Georgia and Alabama
of which two-thirds were found in
North Georgia.
just what the increase has been
however, he is unable to say. He
puts at less than % per cent. Since
the beginning of the year the num-
Der of stills raided monthly has
been between 40 and 65.
Prohibition has also had the effect
according to Mr.. Suber, of running
up the price of blockade Whiskey to
the highest point ever known. His
men bring him word that every sort
of illicitly distilled whiskey is selling
as high as 81 gallon

PLANNED TO SAVE BAIL,

Allentown Pa, July 9.-(SpeciaD-
Judge Trexler today handed down an

Albert e. Swartz for a new trial.
SWartz, rich business man was

DIFFERENT KINDS OF KISSES
Origin of Custom Lost in Antiuuit,
Apparently.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune.)
Dear as remembered kisses after
death, is perhaps, as fine a tribute to
kissing as can be found in the whole
realm of poetry. So Lord Tennyson
sang in The Princess" At the
other extreme of characterization of
this form of salutation is Dean
Swift's Lord, / wonder what fool
invented kissing" kissing is by no
means an universal practice among
the nations of the world, being con-
fined to certain peoples and count
tries" The sound of a kiss is not so
loud as that of cannon, but its echo
lasts a good deal longer" wrote DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
AS to the origin of kissing there
are no records of traditions to give
any definite light, so it may be
presumed that it antedates recorded
history. But there are ancient rec
ords in regard to it. The first men
ton of kiss in the Bible is not in
the garden eastward in Eden"
where the Lord put the man whom
He had formed and gave him the wo-
man as helpmeet, but in the scene
in Genesis, when the aged Isaac was
deceived by his younger son Jacob.
AS 1SddC eyes were Qln WIN years
Jacob was impelled by his mother to
impersonate his elder brother Esau
and secured his fathers blessing by
fraud. The record runs: "And his
father Isaac said unto him, Come near
now, and kiss me, my son. And he
came near and kissed him.
In the Hebrew the word kissing"
is the customary equivalent for ador-
alton" means literally touching with
the mouth" Homer has Priam kiss
ing the hand of Achilles. 1t was an
early custom to imprint kisses on
ones hand and throw them to the
sun, moon and stars. Among the
ancient Romans the kiss, or asculum,
was formal symbol of good will In
the Latin language different words
were used to express different degrees
of intimacy involved in the act The
'osculum" was a kiss between friends
the "basium" a kiss for mere good
fellowship and the "sauvium" the
kiss of love.
kiss and the kiss of charity. st.
Paul, in his epistle to the Thessalon-
ian Christians, directs them to Greet
all the brethren with a holy kiss"
and st. Peter, in his first epistle.
says, Greet We one another with a
kiss of charity" ST. Augustine tells
of four sorts of kisses-those of re-
peace, faith and charity
