MANY WILD HORSE BEING
CAPTURED NEAR EUREKA

BY agreement made with the Of
fcials of the government at Washing
ton, the supervisor of the Toayabe ma
tional forest reserve and the ranchers
who Craze stock upon the reserve,
Charles P. Barnum and Charles Ali
son, together with their riders, have
begun the work of catchingg the wild
horses that range there in such i'm
mense numbers, says the Eureka emit
mel. The section where these horses
are being corraled is in the mountains
between Antelope and Monitor valleys,
about fifty miles southwest of Eureka.
These are the horses that the gov
eminent was desiring to rid the range
of by shootingg, as it was believed that
it was impossible to capture them alive.
By quickly erecting c~orrals, construct
ed of canvas or woven wire, and care
fully concealing them from view,
Messrs. Barnum and Allison are sue
cessfully prosecuting the work.
The first run of nine days resulted in
the capture of seventy-six head. The
second run of seven days was still bet
ter, nearly ninety head being corraled.
The horses are driven to Eureka,
where they are disposed of to buyers,
who ship them east.
The result of the work of Mr.. Barnum
and his associates will no doubt be
watched with much interest by not
only those in the immediate vicinity
where the animals are being corraled,
but in various parts of the state where
immense herds of these wild horses
range, and if he has solved the problem
of successfully trapping them, the sys-
tenn will undoubtedly be adopted by
the different ranchers and stocmen in
Nevada. who are pestered almost be
yond endurance by the presence of
these animals on the range.

Mrs. Mamie Rush, wife of the
late Holton G. Rush, who died
three years ago, died this moring
at her home on Twentythird av-
enue, following a lingering i'll
ness. Mrs. Rush was a sister OF
Messrs. Sam and George Neville,
and was widely known through
out the city as a woman of ster-
ling character and mother de-
voted to her home and children.
An unusuol incident in the death
Of Mrs. Rush is the fact that her
death comes just three years to
the day after that of her husband.
Mrs. Rush inquired several times
of those persons about her bed
side as to the exact date of her
husbands death and her desire
seemed to be that she might go to
her reward ON that day also.
Mrs. Rush leaves her two or
phan children, Sallie Neville
Rush, aged 8, and Holton G.
Rush, aged 4 years. For some
time Mrs. Rush had been employ
ed as stenogrspher in the office of
Attorneys Neville and Stone. She
had made her home in this city
since the death of her husband.
The family formerly lived at
Scranton, Miss. Meridian Star.
The remains of the Mrs. Rush
were brought to Macon and in
tered in the Odd Fellows Gem
etery beside her husband, who
preceded her to the grave just
three years. She had host of
friends in Macon, where she spent
the first year of her married life,
who will be grieved to learn of her

Women Not Eligible.

The holding of the Attorney
General that women are not til
gibble to appointment on the
Text book Contract Commission
was received with general regret.
The Text book Commission is COM
posed of a body of experienced
educators engaged and licensed as
teachers in the public schools,
and it's sole duty is to make a
contract for a system of text books
to be used in all of the schools,
the books to be selected by the
commission. The Constitution Of
the State prohibits women from
holding "ot1ice' in the State,
making a single exception in the
case of State LibraiOn. In the
opinion Of many lawyers, the po-
sitiOn of text books commissioner
is not an coffee" within the
meaning of the Constitution, be-
ing an appointment or agency to
do one specific thing and not a
permanent salaried position. For
example, the Text book Commits
sion is analogous to the Capitol
Commission, and yet no one ever
raised the question that the State
officers appointed on that com
mission were holding two "Offi-
ceS. "
Gov. Noel was desirous of ap-
pointing two women teachers on
the TeXt-b book Commission. One
reason was that they were per-
haps more competent to select the
books for the primary grades than
men. Another general reason
was that there are about as many
women teachers in the schools as
men. The ruling of the Attorney
General will be a disappointment
to the women teachers and to
others who feel that they should
have a voice on the book question.

Next Years S Crop.

The cotton crop next year nee
essarily must be produced at un-
usual expense. Supplies are high,
with less meat and corn in this
section than heretofore. The wise
farmer who has these essentials to
buy will exercise good Judgment
by sowing oats to tide his teams
over during the busy crop months,
and will use more Of the products
of the poultry yard, the dairy and
the garden. Economic and intel
ligent management with the high
prices ruling for every product of
the farm assures every tiller of
the soil prosperous times in 1910.
The farmer who has planned to
buy, and raise nothing that he
will consume next year, need not
be surprised to find that the cot
ton he has raised will fail to pay
for the supplies he has used.-Ab-
erdeen Weekly.

Hook Worm Disease.

Gov. Noel has appointed more
than a score of the leading phys
icians Of the State as delegates
to a Hook-Worm Conference"
to be held in Atlanta, Ca, about
the middle of January.
The medical profession seems
to appreciate the Importance of
the Investigations that are now
being conducted along this line.
The hook worm is no new worm
to the human family, but it was
not until quite recently that he
was thought to have assumed
any such Importance as is now
being attributed to him.
If the people of the rural South
are so full of these worms as
the authorities on such subjects
have undertaken to prove, it is
high time some means of getting
them out Of the human system
and destroying them should be
found. 1t took more than a hum
dred years to discover the source
of yellow fever nd the way to
prevent it, but it is to be hoped
no such length of time will come
to pass before this new enemy to
the South is routed. &C. Ledger.

BAD HABIT TO- BE AVOIDED.
Little Discourse on the Subject %
Dragging, from the Columns OF
Contemporary.

Dragging is such an easy habit to
fall into that nearly every little de.
light opens the way, and 1t requires a
very strong character to resist the in.
cl1natton. 1t may be classed as a dis.
courtesy, and what makes 1t SO Is not
the theme SO much as the waste OF
time required to indulge It, There 10
another objection, and that is II en-.
courages the use of many superla-
tives, which is never in good form, be-
cause they are mostly used to ali up
empty minds, says the Ohio State
Journal.
Still another problem, which is that
Dragging is placing a discount upon
the person listening, for he is re-
minded Of his own infer1ority. For In
stance, the other day q man told Ih
OF catching a seven-pound fish, which
had the effect of making us feed in.
significant and uncomfortable, until a
friend informed us that he had seen
the fish and that It weighed only
three pounds, which suggested to us
another objection to Dragging, which
is that it is close akin to lying; which
impression was made the deeper By
the report OF another person who
said that he had seen the man buy
that identical fish. Thus one sees
into what forbidden paths Dragging
leads one.

sketch of the life and the most
important speeches delivered by
William Jennings Bryan since
1892, has just come from the
press. One of the speeches is
that delivered in the Chicago CON
vention which brought him the
highest honor from his party and
gave him worldwide fame. OF
that speech, Prof. Harry Thurs

of the Republic" says: "The
scene enacted in the convention as
Mr.. Bryan finished speaking was

latter part of his address a crash
of applause had followed every

that of a great sea laundering
against the dykes. Twenty
thousand men and women went
mad with an irresistible enthus-
lasm. The orator had met their
mood to the very full. He had
found magic words for the feeling
which they had been unable to
express. And so he had played

their emotion was let losse in one
continuous roar of passion,
which seemed to have no end"
