ANOTHER VICTIM OF WORK.

John w Castles, who took his life
in New York during a severe attack
of nervous prostration, is the latest
prominent man to be killed from
Overwork. He had millions, but he
hungered for more. He had an en-
viable place in the banking world
in New Orleans; New York tempted
him; he acquiesced, and for five
years past worked and worried as
he never had before until reason
fled and he gave out at only fifty
one years OF age.
Mr.. Castles, who was a director of
the Central of Georgia railroad, had
brilliant career in his final field of
operations. He made an astonishing
success of the Union Trust Company,
with it's deposits running close to the
hundred million dollar mark. This re-
suit was attained by the creator, but
it made him a physical wreck. He
made the Union Trust Company an
extremely profitable venture in a lit
tie more than year; he made
big name for himself in the financial
world; his vanity was gratified; he
could have hardly asked for more.
Yet he was not content
Intemperance in work is as harm
full to the individual as intemperance
in drink. Few wage earners develop
the malady; capitalists are addicted
to it in the insane desire to accumu-
late more wealth than is good for
them. Castles was one of these. His
ending is sad, but how few will
profit by it and enjoy in a rational
way the earnings arising from their
foresight and industry.

THE COUNTRY BOY.

Judge Robert S. Lovett, who takes
the most important vacancy left by
Mr.. Hartman and becomes head of
the executive committee of the Union
Pacific railroad, was a country boy
who titled the soil in Texas, and only
twenty years ago was glad to take
employment getting out crossties for
a Texas railroad. His nights he put
in studying law. He was admitted
to the bar, and soon after was en-
ployed by the railroad to defend it,
He progressed. Three years ago
Hartman said he was too big a man
for any place outside of New York,
so he bundled up and went there.
Now the country boy is one of the
biggest men in the biggest city of
the western hemisphere!
Robert S. Lovett is a man of 40
years. His career only shows that the
country boy is still able to hold his
own when it comes to match the city
urchin. In the great majority of
cases he Over-matches the urban
youth There is an object lesson
and inspiration in this for other
country boys. There is a chance for
you, boys, and room at the top for
you.

The Proposed Federal Income TIA

The Proposed Federal Income Tax.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
So loud arose the cIamor that con-
gross has submitted a constitutional
amendment which would empower it
to levy an income tax such as it
might see fit to devise.
While not prepared to oppose the
income tax amendment, let us see
how this would work in Georgia. AS
things now are it is nobody's bust
ness how much the farmer makes.
He is taxed on the value of his land,
which value he returned to suit him
self, and there the matter ends.
But, the amendment being adopted,
Mr.. UnitedStateS-incO -tax-collect-
or comes around. He wants to know,
you know, how much you made last
year, who you have sold your crop
to, where are your shipping receipts,
where are your account sales, etc.,
etc. The United States tax collector
and the state and county tax collector
are very different propositions The
latter is all suavity, but the former
is not at all under your influence
his mission is to FRY the fat" out of
you, and his fryingpan is very, very
hot
Again, does it not appear that the
amendment puts the whole taxing
power in congress? That there is,
under it, no requirement of equality
or uniformity? Congress, as we all
know, is largely dominated by man
ufacturing, mining and commercial
interest. Will it spare the cotton
crop? Or will it so adjust" things
as to make income from agricul-
tural operations, in that particular
staple, distill gold into the treasury
as freely as the wine-press squeezes
the grape?

The Sun at the Pole.
From the Indianapolis News.

From the Indianapolis News
If the sky was clear when DR.. Cook
and his two Eskimos reached the
North Pole April 21st the sun at that
date would have been several degrees
above the horizon, and they would
have witnessed the strange phenom-
enon, which can occur only at the
poles, of the sun swinging around
the horizon each twenty-four hours
practically at the same elevation
above the ice field in every direction.
The only variation from this would
be the suns slight spiral path as it
slowly rises higher and higher I'M
til June 21st when it reached it's
maximum height, and during the two
days they were at the pole would
only amount to about "a diameters
of the sun. Of course, this condition
comes slowly as they approach the
pole.
At the home of the Eskimos the
midnight sun always dips low down
toward the horizon in the north and
rises much higher in the south. This
strange behavior of the sun at the
pole-never before seen by man
would certainly impress them, and
they would surely be competent to
give evidence on this point, which
would have weight in getting at the
facts.

Snake Found in Bed With Baby.

From the Camilla Enterprise.
Mrs. D. w. Faircloth had quite
an exciting experience last Tuesday
morning which will probably not
serve to lessen her terror of snakes.
She had put her baby to sleep on
bed and left the room to attend to
household duties. After a short
while she remembered that mosqui-
toes might bother the child, and re-
turned to cover it up. The baby was
laying on the mosquito net, and as
Mrs. Faircloth reached to pull it out
"a large rat snake rolled out. Lucki-
ly the snake was as badly frightened
as Mrs. taircloth, and as it made a
dash to get away she grabbed up
the baby and took the opposite di-
rection. Her screams brought the
cook to her assistance and the snake
was killed.

LOOKING INTO THE TREASURY

Governor Brown is having an in
vestigation made of the state treas
ury by an expert accOuntant-not to
settle any controversy or for any po-
litical purpose, but to definitely ascer-
tain the exact status of the finances
of the state. The investigation was
begun after a conference held in the
governors Office between Governor
Brown, Acknowledgement Hart, Comp
troller Wright and Treasurer Brown.
Concerning the investigation the gov
ernor says:
Il had determined before |
came into Office to ascertain, as
soon as possible after the ses-
sion of the legislature, just
what the treasury status is. By
that | do not mean the amount
of cash on hand at this or any
other particular time, but a
marshaling of the assets and liza
bilities of the state, so that |
may know just what we will
have to face with the beginning
of the new year. | feel that
this knowledge is necessary to
proper handling of the states
finances.
What that status is | do not
now know, and will not know
until the accountant has COM
pleted his report. He has made
no report to me of any sort, but
is engaged in securing the fig
ures and information, including
laws applicable to various funds
and appropriations, necessary to
preparing it.
Nothing would give me more
pleasure than to find that the
treasury is in good condition,
and that the state is in a posi-
ton to take care of all of it's
liabilities as they come due"
1t must be queer works in an!
ones think box who would suppose
that the governor would wish to fine
bankrupt treasury with which t.
begin his administration. But tina
is the general belief as to what i
confronting him.

The Herald begins right now to
warn the people that under the new

register six months before the cleo
ton, farmers and others who are not
accessible to the towns will have to
be careful or they will be deprived of
the privilege of voting.
The city bum can be registered
without trouble. The registration
books are handy for MIN at all times.
It's the farmer and country man.
who is not convenient to the regis
tration books, that will be deprived
of his vote.

pealed at the next session of the leg
