JOE BROWNS GOOD SENSE.

He Was Too Smart to Attend That
Rally Gotten Up by Opponents.
From the Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
In refusing to have anything to do
with that rally in Atlanta Joe Brown
showed what sensible man he is.
At the mention of his name Kisses
were heard and otherwise some of
those in attendance showed their
feeling against him. Had he been
present every possible means of HUI
initiating him would doubtless have
been resOrted to.
The rally was gotten up by those
opposed to Brown, and he did the
proper thing in refusing to be pres
ent. The Atlanta Journal for some
time has been daring him to come
out and show himself. Had he gone
out Friday night he would have been
extremely sorry. unless he has the
skin of an elephant.
Joe Brown has shown his common
sense a number of times, but that
his head is level was never more
forclbly shown than in his failure to
attend that rally in Atlanta Friday
night last.

MIR. Taft Abandons His Front Porch
For the Road.
From the Savannah News.
No more folding of the hands on
(and also upon) the front porch for
the presidential candidates! No
more waiting for enthusiastic voters
to come to the front porches to hear
speeches and pledge their undying
affection and answering support.
Mr.. Taft has reached the conclusion
that the only way possible for him
to be elected is t0 get out and hustle
hard. 1t is depressing, he says, for
a candidate to be denied partiCipa-
ton in an active campaign. Inter
preted, this means Mr. Taft has noted
what effect Mr.. Bryan's activity is
having, and has become aware of
the fact that his own chances have
been slipping away as Mr. Bryan 3
have accumulated Mr.. Taft, there
fore, is going to take to the road.

are awakening to the truth that they
have got fight for lifH on their

vast percentage of the fire losses,
but also for much of the damage
effected by the earthquake. So even
that exceptional year of disaster
harked back to the people in proving
them their own worst enemies.
Those losses of 1906 cost more
which was S490,332,760; it ap-
preached the value of the cotton
crop, worth $641,720,435.
The Loss in Human Lives.
1t meant a per capita loss of $50
to the entire population of the coun-
try. If we disregard 1906 on the
score of long-suffering Providence
and merge it into the losses of the
decade the price which every man,
woman and child still pays annually
on the average of ten years for the
national bonfres is $2.70.
AS a means of comparison, it may
be remarked that in 1905 the 154
cities having a population of over
10000 sustained total fire loss of
$50, 797,371, or per capita loss of
S2.42. The cost of new buildings
erected in 40 leading cities in the
same year was $644,620,873; in 1906
it amounted to $678,710,969, and in
1907 to S661 ,076,286. 1t does look
as though the population were in
dulging in all the CONGREGATIONS it
can possible afford.
And the total number of deaths
from burns and scalds in 1900, the
latest census year affording figures
fairly reliable, was 6,772-a holo-
caust which did not include those
who persisted of suffocation in the
nations innumerable fires.
1t is all-Or nearly all-needless,
those thousands of agonized deaths
as we'll as those hundreds of millions
of waste of wealth.

THE TWENTY-FOUR INCH LAW,
1t Is Being Tested in the Supreme
Court of Alabama.

- ANSACu AIlc supreme
Court of Alabama.
The 'twenty-four" inch law is to
be tested in the Alabama supreme
court. This is the law which pro-
vides that it shall be illegal for any
person to carry a pistol that is less
than twenty-four inches in length.
South Carolina has a somewhat sim
liar law, which, if we are not mis-
taken, provides also that the pistol
must weigh not less than four
pounds. In both states the pistol
laws seem to be laughed at rather
than enforced. In Selma last week
a negro was arrested for having upon
his person pistol less than twenty
four inches long. He was convicted
and fined. His lawyer is now going
to take the matter to the supreme
court on the ground that the consti-
tuition guarantees the right to bear
arms, and that the legislature has no
to abridge that right.

NEARLY 2o0OOoOOO GALLONS IN THE MAKING

The three states named produce

The internal revenue bureau state
ment just given out for the informa-
ton of the trade indicates that the
available supply of whisky at the
close of the fiscal year was 10000
coo gallons less than at the same
period the year before. This. in a
great degree, was due to decreased
production. There also was a ma
terial reduction in the Withdrawals

probably some 100000 gallons.

GRAND JURIES USELESS.
Judge Savidge Declares They Are
Similar to a Fifth Wheel.


Judge Savidge, according to an
Altoona, Pa, dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Ledger, says there is no use
OF grand juries. In one of his re-
cent charges to the grand jury he
said:
Il regard the grand jury much as
would the fifth wheel 10 a wagon.
BY fifth wheel I do not mean the
half-moOn on the front axle. | mean
an extra wheel on a four wheeled
vehicle This wheel would be of no
use.
In my opinion the grand jury is
no longer needed in the courts of
Pennsylvania. The courts can take
care of the defendants and see that
they get justice. The higher courts
will surely take care of them if the
lower courts fail. And the board of
pardOns will surely be just.
THE grand jury is Of value in
these days only when it sees to it
that the little petty cases, which
ought not to come here, are not
brought to trial, When you come
to 9 case and find nothing in it
throw it out We have no time nor
money to waste on such matters.
You serve the county and are OF
some value when you let the poor
fellows hauled into court on petty
charges and the poor witnesses who
in half the cases received no costs
go back to their homes"
