Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Responsibility.

From the New York Tribune.-We
are going to bring a new Indictment
against respectable men in politics. II
It were not for the respectable men.
how long could any corrupt machine
last! II It were not for men who
within or without politics have won
regulations for cleanliness and pro-
bity. how long could political debase-
ment be maintained? II it were not
for the men whom the people delight
to honor, how could those remain in
power who are covered with political
dishonor? II 1t were not for the citi-
Gems Of notable standing who have
fought the bosses who have warred
upon machines. who have gained fame
for their independence, how could the
bosses and the machines continue to
do business? II 1t we're not for the
constant supply of available candi-
dates who by universal agreement
cannot be controlled" how could the
corruptionists keep their control over
the rest of us? II good men would
not be put up ito save the day for the
machine" wherewith could 1t saved?
II whitewash were not always at hand
in abundance. whom would sepulchres
deceive? It Ia common to indict good
men for their failure to take part in
politics: we would also indict them
for the part they too commonly take,
when they do take part.

A Respected Mediator.

My Uncle Jim will sit all day
Beneath the leafy vine.
An watch the children at their play
Whene'er the weather's fine.
Some say he's kind of indolent,
But us that's fond of him
Know ordinary work wasn't meant
Fur folks like Uncle Jim.
We've heard about the little lad
Who watched the kittle steam,
While people said. Amt it too bad,
The way he'll sit an dream.'
Each planets pathway, too, is mapped
as plain as plain kin be,
Because Oh Isaac Newton mapped
Beneath an apple tree.
An SO. we step on tip-toe when
We see him dozin' there;
We're sure some day his fellow men
win rise up an declare
From hill to hill and town to town
Their gratitude immense
To Uncle Jim for sittin' down
And thinkin' SO intense.

"old Hickory"


The following story is told OF how
General Andrew Jackson got his title
Of "Old Hickory" Captain William
Allen. who was a near neighbor Of the
general. messed with him during the
Greek war. During the campaign the
soldiers were moving rapidly to sur
prise the Indians and were without
tents. A cold March wind came on.

several days. General jackson got O
severe cold. but did not complain. as
he tried to sleep in a muddy bottom
among his half frozen soldiers. Cap
tain Allen and his brother. John. cut
down a stout hickory tree. peeled oil
the bark and made a covering for the
general. who was with difficulty per-
suaded to crawl under II. The next
morning q drunken citizen entered the

The Retort Erudits.

A famous scholar. whose hobby was
the derivation Of words. had occasion
to store bis furniture while proceeding
to the continent in quest of the origin
OF the term ''juggins." During his re-

the warehouse company the following
letter: Strive have the honor to in

10 Il = sport9

From the Indianapolis News.-Those
who ought to know insist that auto
mobile racing Is a god thing for the
automobile industry. that manufac-
turers have learned much from these
contests. It is said that many OF the
improvements made in the cars. Inn
provements that have tended to make
them more safe even for the ordinary
user. have resulted from the efforts
to cure weaknesses revealed in such
contests az those Of last week. OF
course, there are those who argue
that the speedway is good thing for
the city: that the races bring people
and business here. as they do. But
none Of these considerations touches
the question under discussion. namely,
whether automobile racing is really
a sport In any true sense Of the word
There could be tests which would
try out car in private. And as for
the commercial considerations, they
ought not to weigh at all II 1t can be
shown that these races are necessar-
lily dangerous-that Is, dangerous be-
yond other sports.

The Lazy auo.

From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat--There are phenomena connect
ed with the raid of the lazy bug which
the layman cannot understand and
which the physicians probably COM
prehend dimly. despite their positive
assertions in the matter. The lazy
man can be energetic enough on &C.
casion. The weary tramp who refuses
to chop wood for his breakfast has
been known to do ten miles at a fast
clip In the mere hope of getting q
drink at the end Of the walk. What
renders the bug quiescent for the
nonce? Can his operations be con-
trolled by mere effort of the will?
Or has he himself a partially for
booze" which induces him to suspend
operations for the moment? These
are questions the unscientific mind
would like to see answered. before
giving in It's allegiance unreservedly
TO the dictum that laziness is always
or even generally the fault Of little
microbe shaped like a hook.

FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.

The Tarpon, Shark and Mackerel Are
the Speed Champions.
Study OF the speed of fishes is en-
barrassed by unfavorable difficulties.
It is not possible. as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals of a quarter
of a mile and. with the help of stop
watches. time them as they go by.
Nevertheless investigation Of the sub
ject goes to show that the mackerel, II
not the champion racer Of the briny
deep. comes pretty near to carrying Off
the honors. CnQuestionably it travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say. at the rate Of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal. the larger
the fish the faster 1t swims. Just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy en-
ployed by fish Of great size. such as
thirty foot shark when travelling at
its best gait. is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug. which represents a
maximum Of energy in q minimum Of
bulk, utilizes about 200 horsepower
OF course 1t is only a guess, but 1t
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that a seventy foot whale
makes use OF 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge bulk through the wa
ter at rate Of thirty miles an hour
A whale, which Is a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to a freight
train il the shark is a cannon ball ex-
press. but it can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in a speed contest.
II there Is fish that can travel fast
er than q shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably hit her up to the
tune of eighty miles an hour, II pressed
for time. Generally speaking. it may
be said that finny creatures which live
near the surface Of the sea are swift
swimmers, a. compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod. which is deep water species Is
sluggish and would stand no show
Mt all in q race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter. which are dis
tinctively pelaglc. depend for their liy-
Ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey. and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
II the mackerel were as big as good

speed champion Of the ocean. Mp fish

VERY FiERcELY.

Soperton, Ga, Aug. 2S.-Two negroes
lynched and a posse in pursuit of the
wife of one of the victims; the killing
OF prominent planter, a member Of
the posse; the probably fatal injury Of
the sheriff of Montgomery county and
the wounding of four other members
OF the posse-this was the result of one
OF the most exciting man hunts this
section has ever known.
Ben Clarke. an escaped convict from
the Bibb county chain gang, was shot
to death after fierce fight yesterday
and his body was burned.
The negro had threatened to kill
Nicholas Adams a merchant of kibbee,
land a hundred others"
John Sweeney, who harbored the ex-
convict, was taken from a passenger
train a mile from Tarrytown last
night and lynched
The posse then set out in search OF
Sweeney's wife who, 1t is said. was in
the neighborhood. Intense excitement
prevails throughout this section.
James burden, a prominent planter
and member of the posse which capt
ured Clark, was shot and instantly
killed. ...ea..
The other members of the posse
shot by Clark were Sheriff James Les
ter. Walker Wimmons and three other
men. The officer received an ugly
wound in the breast.
The posse found Clark in Sweeney's
house. Sweeney's wife was at home.
but Sweeney was absent.
The sheriff called on Clark to sur

caliber bullet from an automatic gun.
burden was shot and other members
of the posse fell before the torrent OF

to fire until his ammunition was ex-
hausted.
He was then overpowered and his
body riddled with bullets.
He wore steel breastplate tina:

yesterday afternoon. He was carried
aboard northbound train to a Sc
cluded wood near Tarrytown. where
his body was riddled with bullets af.

A WARNING.
Don't Be Humbugeed With Cheap
Worthless limitations.

Since its Introduction into the Unit,
ed States, the sales of Partisan Sage
have been phenomenal. This success
has led to many limitations similar in
name. Look out for them, they are
not the genuine See that the girl
with the Auburn Hair is on every
package. You can always get the
genuine at the Bfatton Drug Co.
Partisan Sage is the quickest acting
and most efficient hair tonic in the
! world.
1t is made to conform to DR.. Sanger
bonds (of Paris) proven theory that
dandruff, falling hair, badness and
scalp itch are caused by germs.
Partisan Sage kills these dandruff
germs and removes all trace of dand-
ruff in two weeks; it stops falling
hair and itching scalp and prevents
badness.
And remember that badness is
caused by dandruff germs, those little
hard working, persistent devils that
day and night do nothing but dig into
the roots of the hair and destroy its
vitality.
Partisan Sage is daintily perfumed
hair dressing; not sticky or greasy,
and any woman who desires luxuriant
and betwitching hair can get it in two
weeks by using it.
Beware of limitations, look for the
girl with the Auburn Hair on every
package. Partisan Sage is now sold
by leading druggists all over America |
and is guaranteed by the Bratton Drug
Co, to cure dandruff, stop falling hair
and itching scalp in two weeks, or
