A PBcULIAR SITUATION.

It is possible that a peculiar situa- tion may be developed in Georgia when the presidential election is over. In most States of the Union--possibly in all Of them except Georgia-the elec- tors receiving the highest number of votes are declared elected. but in oeer- gia 1t takes a majority of the entire vote toral tickets in any State. for example and one ticket receives more votes than either of the others it is elected. but in Georgia 1t must receive more than both the others or there is no choice, and then the Legislature must elect
 Now. while it is confidently expected and believed that the Bryan ticket will receive a majority of the entire vote cast it is not a certainty. for hardly anything is certain in politics. Mir. Watson has a strong following in the State. and 1t is reasonable to suppose that Taft will get a considerable vote. not to mention other tickets that may be put out. each of which will have supporters. If the contest were be- tween Bryan and Taft alone. there would be no doubt of the result. or if the Georgia law gave the election to the ticket receiving more votes than any other one ticket we might regard the result as certain. but as it stands now the result may be to require a special session of the Legislature to select presidential electors. They would select Bryan men. Of course. but 1t would involve considerable trouble and expense to do what the people themselves do in the other States.

ST. swrrHrx,s DAY.

Probably few of our readers on last Wednesday remembered that 1t was Saint swithin's Day. swithin was an English ecclesiastic who lived and died something over . thousand years ago. The legend connected with his name is that he was buried in his own church yard at winchester. but a century later the monks decided that his remains should be deposited in the winchester Cathedral. They fixed on July IS for the ceremony of removal. but on that day there were such violent rain- storms that they had to postpone their work. and the rains continued incessantly for forty days and nights. From this circumstance was derived the belief, which has come down to our own times. that if 1t rains on St. swithin's day 1t will rain every day for the next forty days. On the other hand we have the old Scotch proberb or saying running thus;
 If St. swithin's day be fair
 
 For forty days twill rain no mair,
 whether there is ever any confidence to be put in these old beliefs is for those who observe such things to de- eide. Like all other beliefs. legends and traditions it is subject to varia- tions. If rain falls on July IS and if thereaftsr we have a long rainy spell we are apt to think the saying holds good. and so if that day Is fair we look for forty days of drouth. If it comes then the old beliefs Is all right but if we have good seasons we decide that there has been slip somewhere. We don't know how t nts Montgomery. There was a slight sprinkle here on that day. so we suppose whether 1t rains hereafter or not the legend is about as good one way as another.

SUNDAY JULY IS. lsOs.

We cordially join The New Haven Register in it's protest again the effort to bring out presidential candidates for the campaign of 1912. The St Louis Times comes forward with the name Of David R. Francis as the proper man for the Democrats to center on next time, and argues that senti- nnsnt in his favor should be encourag- ed. Now. there is nothing to be said against Mir. Francis. either in point Of age. character or fitness for the posi- ton, but we are opposed to borrowing trouble. We have enough of it on us now, and 1t will require all we can bring to bear to ensure success thiA year. end we'd better finish the job on hand before starting on another. The campaign of 1912 will keep and the weather's too hot to take on ex- tras. When we have elected Mr. Bry- an we can consider the man to suc- cssd him.

Charles Edward. the present reignins Duke of saxs-Coburg-GothA. was born July 1s, 1884. the son of the late Helena of waldeek and Pyrmont.

Prince Ar thur of Connaught born January IS, 1883, son of the Duke of Connaught, positively refused to become a German Prince. The young Prince. together with Prince Arthur. were at Eton in the midst of their studies. when Prince Alfred died.

time and get stuck. All that win be required Is to put down a thick dab of concrete or other form of cement and hold the feet of the hen in the soft mass until 1t fully hardens--and thers you have the stationary hen. ready for business. That sis the initiatory part of the job. but of course there are de. tails. The Jersey mans hen died from lack of exercise, which would indicate that the owner gave her too much rich food. That Is a detail to be considered and perfected. Get your hen loc4tsd on the spot. then give her only the necessary supply of food and water. and there's nothing left for the owner but to remove the eggs. and attend to the health and cleanliness of the hen and her surroundings. aud she will do the rest.
 Great scheme, is 1t noti We cannot say that 1t will commend itself uni- versally to hen fanciers at once. Great revolutions move slowly. and sometimes really great discovery takes time to become popular and acceptable. This one may be slow in development. and the Jersey man should apply his spare time and talent to the job. He may not be able to obtain patent. but those who follow his plan might pay him royalty. so that his scheme may yield him profit on the side. And so. to those who are in the egg indus try. ,or who propose going into it. we say: Station your hens. and thus save yourself trouble and your neighbors annoyance.
