About EnumeratOrs

1t is estimated that the total number
of enumerators will reach $1,000. No eX-
animation will be required of the emu
merators, but they will be compelled to
fill out schedule of questions designed
to develop their qualifications for the
work. AS stated, recommendations will
be made by the supervisors and appoint
ments made by the director.
Enumerators will be compensated at the
rate of from two to four cents per name
In towns of less han five thousand, the
rate will be rather above that figure, the
highest paid being in sparsely settled sec
tions of the country. 1t is planned 10
have one enumerator for every voting
district. One supervisor will be appoint
ed for each congressional district.
Enumerators will be given from the 10Th
of April, 1910, to the 18th of May, 1870
one month in which to complete the work
OF numbering the inhabitants of their dis
tricts. The supervisors will be in office
much longer All reports will be made TO
them by enumerators, and there VIII
then be forwarded to Washington.

Where Ignorance is Dense.

What are cotton ties?
There are few men, women or children
in Georgia, or in Dixie land who don't
know the correct answer to the question.
but, peculiar though 1t may appear, there
are many members of congress-senators
and representatives-who are completely
in the dark as to what they are.
The question has been asked more than
once i'm debates in the house and senate.
The average new member from New Eng
land, the middle west or the northwest
has labored, and many of them still labor,
under the (mis)apprehension that cotton
ties are cotton ties-neckties made of
cotton, and they have been in the dark to
know how a duty on cotton ties affected
the farmer of the south.
But when these hidebound protectionists
learn that cotton ties are made of steel
and are the bands that go round a bale
of cotton, they wake up. not to the injus-
tice being done the southern farmer, but
TO the injustice that might be done the
manufacturing industry if the duty were
lowered, or the ties placed on the free list.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2S.-"It's
lie out of the whole cloth, so far as /
know" declared Champ Clark, minority
leader of the house, when. shown a clip
ing that he Clark admits privately that
the Fitzgerald rules, for which the %
Democratic boilers voted, are the real
thing for the people and the Democratic
party. Mr.. Clark was clearly surprised
when he read the clipping. which is being
reproduced in Georgia newspapers by
apologists for the boilers.
When asked if he cared to dictate a de-
NAL, the Democratic leader said the re.
port was such a palpable lie that 1t did
not warrant a formal denial.
Here is what the Chattanooga Times
says:
1T is being whispered about the cor
ridors at Washington that Congress-
man Champ Clark is privately admit
ting that so far as practical results
are cOnceTneu for the good of both
the people and the Democratic party,
the Fitzgerald resolution was the
thing. The mistake was made when
Mr.. Clark attempted to force a con-
ditiOn under the very identical kind
of a rule he was seeking to change.

ocratic insurgents is at hand"

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Are you a snob
1 do not think there is any failing
which everyone pretends to hate so
much and which at the same time is so
near universal as snobbishness.
I fully believe that at least 80 out of
every 100 people have at least a few
drops of snobbish blood in heir veins.
OF course almost everyone who reads
this is either going to quarrel with that
proportion or else elect himself by a
vote of one to the position of the one
out the 100.
But before you-that is the particu-
lar Individual who is reading these
words at just this moment-do either
of those things let me ask you a few
questions.
I am going to take it for granted
that you have some friends who are
Weather and more lin the swim than
you-moSt of Us do
l am also going to take it for grant
ed that you also have some friend who
is very much poorer than you-most of
us do.
Well suppose some day that this poor
friend, in a ratty hat and ill-hung skirt
and scanty coat of the style of five
years ago, chances to meet you and
walk down the street with YOU And
suppose you meet your wealthy friends
Are you absolutely sure that you
won't feel the least weest bit disturb
| ed to have them see you with the di-
lapidated person? Are you sure that
! next time you see them you Will not
casually explain that she is an I'M
| fortunate woman, who in her better
| days-accent on the better days-used
| to live on the next street to you?
( Then, again, maybe you are driving
| Or motoring down the avenue with
| these same desirable friends and you
! pass some business associates or col
| lege mate of yours. Are you absolute
! ly sure that as you bow to him you
| won't feel little thrill of pride or
| pleasure to have them see you in such
| good company?
! And if you say mo- to any of these
| questions or to any others which you
| can probably put to yourself, do you
not thereby convict yourself of some
measure of snobbishness?
| Myself, 1 hate snobbishness with all
my heart and yet l am continually
convieting myself Of feeling if not show
| ing it.
We are apt to think of this failing
! as connected with wealth. But it isn't
necessarily. Rich people are no more
! apt to be snobbish than poor people
/ maybe because they are more sure of
their position and therefore do not need
! to be continually trying to impress it
| upon others.
