At a meeting of the Senate Commit

the bill was taken up it developed there
were 4 number Of points which mem
hers of the committee wanted TO dis

OF changes would have TO be made IN
the bill The provisions as to school
lands do not suit some OF the Senators.
Also there is some dissatisfaction over
the bond features Or the bill. So many
important questions viii have 10 De
threshed over in the committee before
a report can be made that il is regard
ed now as doubtful whether the bill
Will be reported out next Tuesday.
Senator Beverage will be hack by
that time and il is expected his influ-

the bill in committee. Even if the bill
shOGld come ont next week the short

FIGHTING The SEA.
The Amphibious Dutchraan and Hoi-
lands Battle With Water,

Hollands existence i one long
fight against the inroad> of the sea.
Much OF the country is below the
ocean level and has only been res
cued from the ". colossal
system of dikes. The Dutchnlan has
grown so used to the water that
oftentimes he is nearly an amphib-
ious animal. Fifty thousand Hol-
landers live in barges on the canals.
Even in winter, when the canals are
frozen, these people stick to their
boats, for they have no other home.
The canal houses used to be towed
by dogs, but now this work is done
by men and women, each family
towing its own boat.
Dutchmen are among the most
expert navigators in the world. In
utter Indifference to the natural an
tagonism between land and water
and in ability to make either con-
tribute to their necessities, they
have even excelled the English. At
the relief of Leyden the prince Of
Orange, by breaking down the bikes
and letting in the sea, made naviga-
ton feasible on a tract of ground
which had formerly been dry land,
and the strange spectacle was seen
of the Dutch warships floating
among the tops Of orchards and past
the chimneys of submerged houses.
When Holland was invaded by
France another prince of Orange
formed the plan of abandoning the
country entirely and conveying all
its population to the East Indies.
Holland has always relied on the
ocean as a security against hostile
powers. In our own time a member
of the Dutch royal family attended
a great review Of Prussian troops.
Regiment after regiment of strap
ping fellows marched by, but all the
Dutchman would say was, ''Not tall
enough" Finally a grenadier regi-
ment of unusually tall men came
into the field. Every one of these
soldiers is over six feet HIGH" re-
marked Prussian officer to the
Hollander. Surely you will admit
these are tall enough?" The Dutch
man shook his head. owe can flood
my country with ten feet of water, 4"
he observed. Doubtless the Prussian
took the hint.-Buffalo Times.

The Umbrella,

The first umbrella ever seen in
the streets of London was carried by
the philanthropist James Hanway,
who died in 1886. For many years
after the introduction of umbrellas
a man could not be seen carrying
one without being hooted for his eff
feminacy, particularly when passing
a hackney coach stand. The drivers
of these vehicles regarded the UNI
brella in the light of rival. For a
long time coffee houses and inns
were accustomed to keep a single
umbrella of great magnitude for the
purpose of shielding customers from
the rain as they passed from the
door to their carriages. This mon
strous structure was carried by a
waiter. 1t was not until about the
year 1900 that the use of the UNI
brella became so general throughout
Europe and America that a man
could carry one without attracting
the attention of passersby to a dis
agreeable extent In Spain and TIA
ly the article was first domesticated.
France adopted it next and lastly
England.-Spare Moments.

DUDLEY W. REYNOLDS,
Prominent Young Insurance Man.

Mr.. Dudley w Reynolds, one Of the
most prominent and promising young
insurance men in Atlanta, has formed
CO. partnership with VIM. S. Feather
stor in the district agency OF the New
England Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany for the Atlanta department.
The firm of Featherston & Reynolds
will form strong team in the field Z.
They will have offices with the general
agency in the Gambler building, and
will have exclusive charge of large
territory.
Mr. Reynolds rise in the insurance
field has been rapid but not surprising
to his friends who expected much Of
him. Graduating from the University
OF Georgia in 1906, he Immediately be-
came connected with the Mutual Life,
and for the past four years has done
fine work for that company, having
grown to be one Of the strongest pro.
ducers in this territory, He is a son
of DR. Homer V. Reynolds. leading
physician of Marietta, Ga.
Mr.. Reynolds is receiving the con-

Local News.

In accord with the eternal fit
ness of things, people who keep
harping on disagreeable things
should be strung up.
Local merchants and business men who
transact business in Social Circle, find
that they save time and money by using
the long distance Bell Telephone. The
rate for 3-minute talk is only 30 cents.
There is satisfaction in personal talk.
Call Long Distance"
You may have observed that the
man who boasts that he can drink
or let it alone usually drinks.
The satisfaction of giving your mes
sage and hearing the reply instantly is
feature OF the long distance Bell Tele-
phone which no other agency has been
able to approach. For 80 cents you can
talk 3 minutes to friends or business
associates in Madison. Call Long Dis
tance."
All the worlds a stage upon
which most of us make show of
ourselves sooner or later.
The cost OF a telegram containing an
equal number of words that can be
spoken in 3-minute Bell Telephone
message would be such as to make the
cost Of the telephone talk appear in
significant in comparison. Call Long
Distance"
A woman's idea of economy is
to buy 5 cents worth of anything
on two separate occasions instead
Of blowing in dime all at once.
Many people have the erroneous inn
preston that the cost of long distance
Bell Telephone messages is excessive
Count the words you can speak in three
minutes and see how much a telegraph
message OF equal length to the same
point, would cost. Then figure in the
time you save and the satisfaction you
obtain, and the telephone will be cheap
in comparison with other agencies.
About the first thing new cook
expects the mistress to learn is to
keep out of the culinary depart
ment.
The convenience of the long distance
Bell Telephone is so great that it's use
hae become general. In order to talk
to party in smother city, it is simply
necessary to give Long distance" your
name and telephone number and the
name and location Of the party you wish
10 talk to. There is no charge until you
begin talking to the party called. Have
you ever tried it? Call Long Dis

The good old Bible names Of
