NOISELESS GUN
PROVES SUCCESS
WEAPON DESIGNED TO BE USED
IN KILLING CATTLE IN THE
STOCKYARDS.

NEW YORK, June IL The first pub
lie demonstration of a noiseless fire.
arm took place today before 0ie board
of managers of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, Being
given by Hiram Percy Maxim, the in
ventor of the weapon.
Maxim leveled an ordinary 80 Caliber
Winchester rifle, remodeled according
to his device and loaded with ordinary
ammunition, at two New York city di-
rectories placed together, clicked the
trigger and drove d hat-nosed bullet
six inches through solid paper without
noise enough to be heard in the next
room. When the managers heard the
click and smothered bang of the es-
Gaping powder gas, no louder than the
dropping of a ten penny nail on the
floor, they were convinced that Max
inns new rifle is all that the inventor
claimed.
Maxim designed this rife pursuant
to the urgent request of the society
that he furnish it with weapon for
killing cattle in the slaughter-house in
a more humane manner than the old
method of knocking them on the head.
This rifle can drive a bullet into the
brain of a steer with the certainty Of
quick death and without noise enough
to brighten other animals. 1t differs
from the noiseless rifle which he per-
fected for army use and which is to be
soon examined by the United States
Army officers at his Hartford, Conn,
workshops.

ON MAUI
PROTEST AGAINST SALOON AT
MAKAWAO ON GROUND OF IN
JURY TO HAWAIIANS.

WAILUKU, June 20.-The Liquor
License Commission held a meeting
ia the public room of the Masonic
Temple Thursday as advertised and
passed on the twenty-five applications
for licenses.
There was but one protestant pre-
sent and no written protests what
ever

license being granted at Makawao on
the ground that liquor is bad for Ha-
waiians and that the use of intoXi-
cants there interfered with the labor
question. The Board took the matter
of granting licenses at Makawao I'M
der advisement and will render their
decision some time within ten days.
The matter of granting a saloon
license at Paia was considered and
refused.
All of the other licenses were
granted as applied for.
The Board will hold its next meet
ing for the purpose of consideration

Why
IS NIDND PORCH
ODON SHADES
Are Needed
Are Needed

You need Vudor Porch Shades to get
the most out of your porch.
To make it spot where you can
rest or work on the hottest days-out-
doors, yet free from the suns glare and
heat.
You can do this with Vudor Porch
Shades; you can add to the house an
other room, cool and shady, where you
may enjoy every refreshing breeze, in
secluded comfort.
Vudor Porch Shades are very dur
able, and will last many seasons.
Another good feature about them is
the peculiar fact that those sitting on
the porch can see out, but passersby
cannot see in. In other words, you
have complete privacy, and can use
the porch or veranda the same as an
inside room, with infinitely more COM
fort on hot days.
Vudor Porch Shades are just the
thing for boxing in" porches or bal
comics that are to be used as outdoor
sleeping or living apartments.
Vudor Porch Shades are made OF
thin, fat strips of Linden Wood, close
ly bound by strong Seine Irvine, in a
lock-stitch weave.
They are artistically stained in soft,
pleasing colors. These colors are

The Back-SHdings of HOke.

HG DG@GN-OSGG%%HSS W 4AONGe
Gentle voter, did you ever, ever,
EVER know of a case of back-sliding
equal to that of the Great Reformer whom
we elected Governor of Georgia in 1906?
Alas! We are in the soup. Fooled
again, us about the size Of it.
Where is that anti-lobby bill which was
going to break up corrupt influence over
legislation? Forgotten.
Where is that Franchise-tax law which
was going to make the foreign corpora
tons contribute a million dollars a year
to the treasury? Forgotten.
Where is that drastic examination into
the status of the Central Railroad? For
gotten. Maj. Hanson hypnotizes Hoke
Smiths administration with as much ease
as he did that of Joe Terrell. No wonder
the Wall Street crowd has increased Maj.
Hanson's salary to $4,000, and pays the
imperially pompous A. R. Lawton $4,000
per year Two men who can keep the lid
on here in Georgia. while the Wall Street
rascals rake in dividends on SO many
millions of dollars of fraudulent stocks
and bonds deserve big pay.
: These two, Hanson and Lawton, serve
their Wall Street bosses we'll.
AS to the people of Georgia, they are
to be pitied. The big, brave man whom
we elected to undo these illegal alliances
and to redeem Georgia from Wall Street
exploitation, has fallen from grace. He
has sheathed the sword of the Reformer,
and has for many months been cultivat
ing the professional smile and methods of
the calculating politician
Have we been saved single bale of
the $4,000 bales Of cotton which Hon.
Guyt McLendon said we were being rob-
bed of by fictitious capitalization? Not
single bale.
Have we been saved single dollar of
the four million dollars which Hon. Hoke
Smith said we were being robbed of
every year, on watered stock? Not dol
lar. Why not?
ASK HoKE AND GUYT. Maybe
they can tell you-the Jefersonian can
not All that the Jeffersonian can do is
to mourn over the back-slidings of Hoke.
All that we can do is to grieve over the
fact that he stopped his horse and put up

THE JEFFERsoNrAN.


tics The Jefersonian worked for him,
sung his praises, held up his hands, ex-
cused many of his shortcomings, kept hin,
out of some bad blunders, stood by him
loyalty and unsel6shly-but, after all, he
fell from grace. His heart was not in it,
and he let. the fires of his zeal die down.
Instead of calling those recreant 1egis-
lators back to their post of duty, as he
halfway promised to do, he allowed Dick
Gray and the Atlanta Journal to chill him
into passive submission. Instead of go
ing over the state to make reform speech
es and to expose those members Of the
Legislature who had gone back on the peo-
pleas he positively declared that he
would do-he tuned his eloquent voice
to homilies on Education and Forestry,
and the golden opportunity passed.
Then to cap the climax of reaction and
back-sliding, he and the Atlanta Journal
have now gone in with the Old Gang on
the matter Of the early primary, and the
masses Of the people are cut out of any
control over the office-holding Ring.
The great majority of the people of this
state can not, without inconvenience and
loss, give their attention to political af-
fairs in April and May. This is well
known to the politicians.
To hold the primaries at that time gives
the town Ring almost absolute control,
Besides, where members of the legisla-
ture seek denomination, say, in June,
1oo8 when they have not shown how
they are going to vote in the summer ses-
sion of 1908, these members are in the
position of asking another term before the
people can know how they will conduct
themselves during the term for which
they have already been elected.
In other words, the people will be asked
on June 4, 1908, to elect members for 1909,
when those of 1908 have not finished
their record.
Thus we introduce into state affairs the
most vicious feature of the federal sys-
tenn, which allows a Congressman to con-
tinue in office after he has been con-
denned by his constituents.
Hoke Smith made this a prominent
plank in his reform campaign. He spoke
against it all over the state. He gained
many votes by his pledges to change that
system to late primary.
The Macon Platform-Hoke's own
work-positively promises to reform this
evil of the early primary. So late as No
vember, 1907, in his speech at McRae,
Governor Smith most emphatica1ly re-
newed his pledges upon that subject
But, in few weeks after making this
speech, Our Great Reformer back-slides

Priv the American Farmer.

In every country but ours some en-
couragement is given to the men who till
the soil
In Norway and Sweden the govern
ment Land Banks lend them money on
long time at low rate of interest.
In France and in Russia national loans
are made upon produce.
In Germany the government bank lends
upon land security.
In Greece, national loans are made to
the farmers.
Even in England, aristocratic England,
it is remembered that the man who feeds
and clothes the people is entitled to some
consideration at the hands of those who
eat and wear what he makes.
Time and again Mr.. Gladstone and
other Liberal leaders have proposed that
the government lend money to the ten
ants to enable them to buy homes.
Lord Rosebery brought forward bill
in Parliament which provided that the
government shall lend the Irish tenant
money to buy his holding from his Eng
lish landlord
Thus we find every nation in the civil
