TOO MUCH kAw.
(From the Albany Herald.

eff congress" declares James j.
Hill, would only adjourn for
four or Eve years, and not only
leave the tariff, but other matters,
alone, the country would make
splendid progress on the natural
lines resultant from prosperity. !"
How true Could the CONNER
cial and the industrial interests of
the country receive positive assn
rance that there would be no more
congressional tinkering with the
laws of the country before 1914,
there would inevitably follow a
great revival Of business, reaching
to every corner of the land. True,
there are some laws now in effect
which need amending, and there
is perhaps real need of certain new
legislation, but we could worry
along beautifully without this if
only we might also be spared the
penalties resulting from such med
ding with the statutes as our na-
tional law makers ever impose
when they are not enjoying their
vacation.

DANGEROUS GIFT.

Beauty ia a dangerous gift. 1t
is even so. Like wealth, it has
ruined it's thousands, Thousands
of the most beautiful women are
destitute of common sense and
common humanity. No gift from
heaven is so general as the gift of
beauty. In about nine cases in
ten it makes her silly, senseless,
thoughtless, giddy, vain, proud, ,
frivolous, selfish, low and mean.
We think we have seen more girls
spoiled by beauty than by any
other one thing. "She is beauti-
full, and che knows it, :" is as much
as TO say she is spoiled. A beauti-
full girl is very likely to believe
she was made to be looked at and
she sets herself up for show at
every window, in door, on every
corner of the street, in every COM
pany at which opportunity offers
for an exhibition of herself. And
believing and acting thus, she soon
becomes good for nothing else, aud
when she comes to be a middle
aged woman she is that weakest,
most sickening of all human
thlpgs--a faded beauty.-Ex.

YOUNG LADIES.

Never put your arm through the
handle Of a Jug" is a piece of advice
given by an exchange TO the young la
dies. Most of them ought to know
what it means without further explana-
ton. A woman is never go foolish as
when she hopes to reform man after
marriage. "He loves me" che trust
ingly says, and because her own love is
pure, she expects the pute article in
return. Poor girl, you do not know the
witchery of the jug, nor the strong
bands which bind the soul OF the man
to whom your happiness is entrusted,
True enough, he is good hearted and
kind, except when in liquor, but as his
slavery increases, his kindness de-
crease. While seeking for some one to
shield him in his helplessness, he may
indeed flatter you that you only can
redeem him. After you become his
slave, you may we'll wish for an early
grave. Many an error it hides, many 9
it cures. But the lack OF
love soon follows protracted indulgence
in folly. Young ladies, never put your
arm through the handle of jug.

STOP WASHES.

A man has accidentally discov-
cred way to stop washes on farm
lands that will appeal to every
farmer, says an exchange. The
plan is to stretch hog wire fence
across the gullies and nail to posts
set deep in the ground. Tho wire
fence catches and holds all trash,
the trash holds the sand and soil
washed down, while it allows all
the water to escape. In this way,
the gully is soon filled. The fence
beats the rock dam, as it does not
hold the water on the land, but
does hold all solid matter.

THE MANS DEAD.

A well-known Brooklyn phys
ician was examining a class OF
nurses who had served their ap-
pointed time in the hospital, says
Harper's Weekly. The candidates
fled past him, and to each he ad-
ministered a question calculated
to show the nurses efficiency. In
one of the questions he described
the condition of patient and ask
ed the nurse how much morphine,
in her opinion, should be admins
tered to the sufferer. Eight
grains" replied the nurse prompt
". The doctor made no comment
and she passed on. When her turn
came again she appeared greatly
confused and said to the examiner:
doctor, / wish to correct the an
swer made last time. / meant to
have said one.eighth OF grain
should be given to the patieLt. "
"Too late" remarked DR.. Mathe'
son, without locking up from his
question paper, "the man is dead. "

THE NEGRO IN GEORGIA.

The Hawkinsvllle Dispatch, in
the midst of all the talk that is on
about the negro, presents the fol-
lowing, from the Fort Valley
Leader, as "a nut for the North
erners to crack -
"Perry Hudson, the leading ne
gro of Stewart county, died few
days ago. He always voted the
Democratic ticket, saying that the
white people were his best friends,
and he would n Ut vote against what
they thought was right. A large
number of white people attended
the funeral, and are raising funds
to erect a monument over lis
grave. That's the kind of negro
that does more to elevate his race
than all the colleges combined
He worked hard, paid his debts,
and respected those about him,
rather than follow after the false
gods of the North.

True hospitality does not consist
in the mere fulfllment of social
obligations. 1t is far holier, no.
bier thing than this. It is the
cordial, heartfelt welcome of a
friend tc our table and rooftree,
without counting the cost. The
lady of the house in former times
was true to her name as the dis
penser of bread. There was al
ways room at her table for an ex-
ira guest. The fair was palmer
than it is to-day, but the welcome
was cordial, the hospitality spon-
taneous. 1t is al advantage to
children to see guests frequently
in this way. No social training
can take the place of that which
child receives in the house of pa
rents who delight to entertain
their friends. Households, like
individuals, become eccentric ard
narrow, when kept too closely to
their family group.

The Tennessee prohibition law
is 80 worded as to give it the ap-
pearance of being intended prima-
rily for the protection of the
schools, and it prohibits the sale
of liquor within four miles of any
school house. One P. Conger, of
McMinnville, has found spot on
the top of the Cumberland noun
tains, in Sequatchie county, where
the state prohibition law, effective
July 1st. cannot touch him, and
he is now having saloon con-
structed there. 1t Is eighteen
miles from McMinnville, and there
is no school house within four
miles OF the place.
1t is reported that Conger has
leased all the land for four miles
around in order to prevent the
erection of a school house. Ter

DRUNKENNESS INCREASES
WITH PROHIBITION

Washington, D. q, Aug. 13.--The
statistics Of the internal revenue sery-
ice show that as prohibition territory
increases so does the consumption Of
booze increase.
In the year 1898 when the anti
saloon league was organized, the per
capita consumption Of malt and spirit
GUS liquors in the whole county was
1876 and 1.46 gallons respectively. In
1890, when only 100000 people were
living in dry territory, the figures
were 1853 and lii. In 1907, when ap-
proximately S5.OOO,OOO people were livr
ing under prohibitory laws, the fig-
ures had risen to the high-water mark
22.O and 1.5S.
Rev. William A. Wasson, an Epis-
copal clergyman, in an article in a
current magazine, declares prohibition
is not only failure. but also an evil
as shown by the above statistics.
Rev. Wasson advocates statewide
regulation Of the liquor traffic through
local excise boards, which could fix
the license fee.
The Washington Post says; 1T is
beginning to look as if the record of
prohibition in America in go years
has been a farce and failure

FIND DEFICIENCY
IN PRISON FUND
COMMITTEES Recommends Payment OF
Salaries Of Employees Out OF
Small Fund Remaining.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 13.-That only
S6,04s.27 remains in the maintenance
fund of the state penitentiary at Nc
Alester and that $4,000 in approved
claims are outstanding against this
fund, which was appropriated for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1909, is a
statement contained in the report of
Victor E. Harlow, secretary of the
board of public affairs; Hugh Gerner,
a deputy state examiner and inspector
and Carl Rice, deputy auditor, made
to a joint meeting of the board of
prison control and the board of public
affairs. This leaves deficiency of
$16,956.7S, which will have to be Gov
cred by a deficiency appropriation of
the next legislature.
The special committee recommended
the payment of $3,a1S to cover pay of
employees of the prison out of the smell
balance left in last years maintenance
fund, favored the immediate payment
of other claims aggregating $2,Sa3.S6
and recommended that the balance
must remain until a deficiency .appro-
priation can be made.
The report Of the special committee
states that approximately $95,O00 has
been paid out Of the construction fund.
1t appears some items have been
drawn on this fund that should have
been charged to the maintenance fund.
The committee suggested that when
prisoners are being worked on con-
structiOn work 20 cents of the esti-
mated cost of maintenance be charg-
ed for each prisoner per day against
the construction fund. This solution
was adopted hy beth boards in joint
session.
It also was recommended that all
guards when nsed in guarding prison
ers engaged in construction work be
paid during that period out 'of the

recently appointed assistant professor
of geology at the University of Okla
homa, and will have charge of econom-
ic geology and geography is going to
study at first hand the economic prob
lens of the state before entering on
his work as teacher at the uniyer-

He starts next week on a trip over
Oklahoma, visiting the more impor.
tant mineral localities, including the
lead and zinc fields, the principal oil
fields, the coal region, the limestone,
marble and cement regions, the Ar
buckle and Wichita mountains, the
salt plains and the gypsum hills.
Professor Taylor has had thorough
training in his subject at one of the
best universities in America, but he
realizes that nothing will take the
place of first hand investigation, and
for that reason prefers to see for him
self the mineral producing localities
of Oklahoma.
