The recent storm at Galveston which
was the first severe test Of the new sea
wall, built to protect the city after the
calamity of 1000, is the subject Of an
interesting illustrated article in the
October Popular Mechanics Had it
not been for the wall the damage would
undoubtedly have extended far into
the city, carrying in it's wake death, as
well as property destruction, The
great wall extends along the city ;
water front for 1865 feet, or {, IS
miles, and its top is y feet above mean
low water Of the Gulf, or | 4 fec, higher
than the highest point reached hy the
food that was driven over the city hv
the 1900 hurricane, The wall proper is
s feet thick at the top and 10 feet thick
at the base, built on a foundation Of
piles that are driven IS feet into the
ground. In front of the wall for 81
feet seward a massive bed Of granite
rip-rap, 5 to I feet thick, provides a
further protection to the foundation
The wall itself, calculated to resist

HOOK WORMS

HOOk WORMS
Hook Worms in the South are re-
sponsiblc for all the ills to which flesh is
heir. If you sScc "A man setting on the
buzzard roost by the post office, you
may know he is troubled with Hook
Worms. II YOU see boy with tallow
face and lazy. give him epson salts and
thymol, and he will soon be ruddy and
run his legs off looking for a job.
The Southland our Northern
friends whose chief desire is to help the
downtroddcn South--are Hook Worm
crazy. The papers are full of Hook
Worms, the doctors who are paid by the
government to investigate things
find that IS and .674S per cent of all the
people of Georgia, Florida, South Caro-
lima and Tennessee are affected. Hook
Worms cause that tired feeling, that
dark brown taste in the mouth, that
lame feeling between the shoulders and
the good Lord only knows what else,
In recent issue OF popular maya
zine we find the following from one Of
the noted doctors:
Effect Upon the Mind,
The effect upon the mind of such
infection is quickly apparent. In
tcrcst in affairs, even the conmonest,
wancs In severe cases there is a
noticeable delay in answering simple
questions; frequently the patient re-
pcats each question before answering
Whats Your name" one asks OF
an infected boy,
What's --my-name:' he drawls
staring stupidity.
Yes. what is your name
"My-.name s. Johnny Jones.
After taking a few cents worth OF
thymol and Epson salts in the next
few weeks, the boy responds quickly
What's your name
Johnny Jones"
Thus is indicated the character OF
the change that comes to these amaze
mic people. They grow stronger, they
tire less easily. their minds are more
active, they take an interest in things
to which they had never given a
thought, they are NOR. careful in the
ordering Of their simple affairs and
their clothes, they strive to be clean

used advisedly-several pages. Accord

FITNESS. NOT POLITICS.

1t has been announced from WASH
ington that President Taft has been
discussing with his Cabinet the distri-
button of the census patronage in the
South
II is only recently that the senator's
from the Southern States impressed on
President Taft the undesirability of ne
groes as census enumerators. 1t would
seem that these protests have not been
in vain. AS result of this conference
between the President and his Cabinet
has been reached the conclusion that
fitness and not politics is to be the rule
which is to govern in the selection of
the generators.
However, this is not altogether salts
factory since, under this rule of fit
ness negroes may become enumerators.
The great objection TO the negro in
the South is not so much his color as it
is his impudence. AS it is generally
known in the South, the negro in Office.
be it ever so humble, soon becomes
'bigoted,' that is, he is so full of his
self-importance as to be impudent.
Very few negroes holding Office are
conservative in their demeanor AS il
is in the negro, he can not help it.
The best and surest policy is to elm
mate all negroes from the census enum-
Grafton. If only fitness and not politics
is the standard fixed, then only white
men responding to all the requirements
kshould be selected.
Everywhere in the South there are
good men, white Republicans, who car
fulfill the duties prescribed in the tax
ing of the census

the chauffeur, cross to the kitchen.
He would not stay long, yet long
enough.
She had meant to take the runabout,
but it was in corner, and everything
stood in its way. Close by the door
and headed outward stood the red car,
which she liked least, but its position
determined her choice. Within one
minute she was on the road and no one
had seen her. All was well thus far.
1t would be run of about thirty
miles to the home of her very dearest
and best friend in Princeton, where
she expected to set up her camp and
make treaty with her father. The
friend was happily married. She had
abandoned many luxuries for the sake
of love and now lived simply in lit
tie house. Miss Leigh was sure of a
sympathetic welcome, but she was
not equally sure of the road, and,
above all, she feared mishap in passing
her uncle's house, about mile from
her own. On such pleasant evening
there might be half a dozen young
people by the gate.
AS she came in sight of that spot,
around turn of the road, she saw two
cars beside the way, and she checked
her own vehicle very suddenly in a
mass of shadow. Thence she looked
out keenly and could discern no one in
the cars or anywhere about so she de-
cided to run the gantlet.
She put on the power, and nothing
happened. The propulsive mechanism
seemed to be working, but the car did
not move.
Miss Leigh had not the least idea
what was the matter She had only a
fair weather acquaintance with the
red car. She could run it when it be-
haved we'll, but Its less amiable moods
were a mystery. 1t was now doing its
very worst. 1t would not bulge an
inch, and it continued to assail the
ear of night with most villainous
racket. Miss Leigh jumped out and,

The mans perfect calm had begun to
have its effect upon Miss Leigh. She
felt some disposition to use her reason,
which terror had at first dethroned.
If this fellow had meditated robbery
he would not have waited so long. His
opportunity was perfect when he sat
behind her in the car.
