This Ls My 46th Birthday
Duke of Hamilton.

Alfred Douglas Douglas Hamilton. Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, and the holder of nearly twenty other titles in the English and Scottish peerages was born March 6, 1862. and succeeded his kinsman as thirteenth in 1895. Now the prmier peer of Scotland, and "Heil Male of the House of Douglas" when he was a young man there seemed not the remotest chance of his succeeding to the dukedom. but the death of the only son of the twelfth duke and a succession of Oths" deaths placed him at the head of the family. How dist ant his relationship to the last duke was may be gathered from the fact that the Peerage has to go back to the descendants of the fourth duke who was slain in duel in 1712, to find the pedigree of the present holder of the title. The dukes estates. amount ing to 157 400 acres. are in trust, ac- cording to the will of the late Duke. The Duke of Hamilton has one of the most interesting hereditary offices in the Kingdom, for he is Keeper of Holy rood Palace, the old and historic home of Seotland's kings. The Duchess of Hamilton, wife of the present duke was Miss Nina Poore. a popular Eng. fish actress. to whom the Duke was married in 1901.

WAY TO PREVENT PANICs.

 Wall Street Journal
 Another way to prevent panic Is for all of us to live moderate. sober, mod- est lives in accordance with all the laws of nature, or economies and of God. There would be no panics if ev- erybody were good; there would be no abuses of credit if nobody violated law, If there were no overeagerness to xer rich by questionable methods of com petition which destroy the equality or opportunity, If there were no betrayal of trusts by directors and no dishon. esty in the administration of other pso- ple's money. This Is so selt-evtdent that a good many people who have been hurt by some or all of the evils have become incorporate fin instituting reforms, and are in danger of working as much injury to the country as the very evils against which they com plain. We have struck a deadly blow at the thieves and scoundrels who have attempted to usurp power over the highways of commerce for their own selfish aggrandizement like the robbeS barons of old. Let us be careful now lest this work be undone by the zeal. ots and demagogues who would destroy the highways themselves and overturP the principles upon which our civiliza. ton rests.

Atlanta Special to Augusta Cnronlcle.
 General unfriendl.ness and dormant anirnosity between The Atlanta Journal and Governor Hoke smith % on one siae Constitution on the other, have devel- oped into renewed hostility and-for the past week-daily denunciation of each other. Headlines that are re- minders of the two-years-ago campaign have been greeting local newspaper readers evening and morning.
 The Governor unable to vent his Seelines on the hustings. has adopted oppomeni .n reaching the ear of the public. Two cards have issued forth from his pen during the last several days and despite the counsel of his close friends others are expected dur Ing tn e next few. IA, -.
 The Journal Is lambasting it's morn ing contemporary with the term ring organ" while the latter has adopted 0 new epithet in referring to the after. noon publication as the "oneiia,i organ; sss. ; :; caustic style some of the acts or ths present administration, and The Journal in a double-barrel editorial today de- formed by the "disgruntie6 ring" to work up public sentiment against the powers that be. .,,.- five reports from Marietta. indicates that the people of Georgia will be en- tertasned during the next few months with a lively ponIlcdl cdnlpdlBH. T oi 1t is said to be an assured fact that Little Joe" Brown will announce his candidacy for the gubernatorial nom ination in less than ten days.
 Governor Smith pretends to LOOK upon prospective opposition as a splen- did joke. and The Journal denounces it as a contemptible conspiracy. How ever, regardless of probable results, 1t can be stated on the authority of writ ten proof that many men through out the State who were leaders in the op- position fight of two years ago have pledged themselves to exceed their former efforts against the administra- ton they helped to create.

who are not in accord with his poli- cies and methods: hence. they distrust any candidate whom he specially fa- vors and who would be likely to follow In the course pursued by him. As they do not trust him they are not willing to trust his favorite. A motion to en- dorse his administration would lack much of securing the unanimous vote of Republicans.
 Then there's the ever-present tariff which is a veritable Old Man of the Sea to them. The present law is thoroughly Republican measure, Due to say that 1t is now satisfactory to all of them would be absurd. Some of their strongest and wisest men are as little satisfied with 1t now as any of the Democrats are. They know that 1t Is unjust and oppressive. and they know that 1t should be materially mod filed in many respects. but they can do nothing because those who control the affairs of the party are afraid to med de with the tariff. Speaker Cannon intimates that there should be some sort of revision at the short session of Congress after the Presidential eIec- ton. Representative Dalzell, who Is strong with his party. wants to put it on until after the 4th of March next anc then have a special session to do the job. They are all afraid of 1t. in fact--the leaders are. and seem to think the safest plan is to do nothing
 And so it goes all through the list. They are divided and unsettled as to candidates. policies and principles, and while 1t is true that the great stake for which they strive may bring them together in time, they certainly lack great deal of harmony at the pres- ent time. But how is 1t with our own side of the political fence? Can the most enthusiastic and optimistic Dem ocrat among us claim that we are ali of one mind as to candidates or the policies to be pursued? It is true that as it now appears Mir. Bryan will be the nominee. and 1t looks very much as If he will dictate the platform. but win that be satisfactory to the Democrats all over the countryY We'll, we should hesitate to answer that question in the affirmative. Tn fact. to make a snort story of 1t. we cannot see that our par. ty Is much better of than our oppon- ents are in the way of universal har- mony. Politics and politicians are muddled. that's the long and the short of it.

 In q report of the tests nade by H. B. Holroyd, forest assistant. and H. s. Betts. engineer in timber tests. of the Forest Ser vice. the fact Is brought out that there h an error of over 50 per cent. in the grading of vehicle stock. due largely to the pre1u- dice ot the manufacturers against the use of red hickory. It Is shown that In clear stock. weight for weight the req nick- ory is as strong as the white By bringing this fact to the aftention of the manufac- turers. 1t Is hoped that much of the hiek- ory which was formerly left as waste in the woods will be utilized by the trade ana thus proiong the rapidly disappearing sup- ply of hickory.

The supply of good hickory In the United states is known to be very limited The cut last year for lumber was little less than Is0, coo. 900 feet, and 1t is estimatea an even greater amount was used TOT au- tomohile and carriage wheels, axle caps. gears axies poles. single trees and neck vokes. and it is figures that at the present rate of cutting the supply win last about IS years.
 Reports are made from time to time of the discovery of suitable substitutes Tor hickory in foreign countries The two woods which come nearest to having the quality of the hickory seem to be one or the eucalyptus and the crowfoot elm. both of Australia. Only time will tell whether these woods will prove satisfactory suosu- tutes. In the meanwhile. American hick- ory users will be obliged to conserve the present supply and take steps to suarsn.ee z future supply by encouraging private planting of the tree. whose wood is eecom- ing more precious each year.

THE HICKORY.
It is Getting Short and is Being Closely
 Watched.


 Auotomobile and carriage manufacturers along with the men of the allied vehicle in- dustries,' are giving very serious eonsidera- tion to the question of the future supply of hickory timber. This wood. which Is one of the most important of all woods, since no satisfactory substitute for 1t has been found. plays a more important part among the commercial timbeFs than many people realize.
 For automobile and carriage wheels. where strength, toughness, and resiIiency are sentiai qualities. no other wood has been found in this country that will take the place of hickory. Manufacturers say that no steel or wire spoke has yet been found that will withstand the wear and tear of the hickory spoke and for this reason the welfare of the vehicle industry seems de- pendent upon the conservation of the hick- ory supply.
 Three of the largest associations of nick ory users In the country. the National Wag- on Manufacturers Association of America, the Carriage Builders National Association. and the National Hickory Association have completed a series of cooperative tests with the United States Forest Service. the trade considers the results highly import ant. ThS tests covered close study of the psgpBtass of different woods used ia
