Schiaparelli, whose death oc
Cured this week, was the first
astronomer to observe the deli
cate markings on Mars which
have been called canals. or
late the chief differences Of
opinion concerning them have
related to their nature, but for
a time their reality was in
question. Practically no doubt
is now entertained regarding
the existence of these lines.
How remarkable a feat was
their discovery, however will
be better appreciated when it
is remembered that it was ef-
fected with a comparatively
small telescope, one having an
aperture of only eight inches.
Imagination is a wonderful
attribute, especially in the
writing of fiction. One in
stance: The citizens of East
Orange, N. j., complained to
the board of health about some
hams which were hanging for
a long time in a butchers win
dow. The citizens claimed that
the hams were emitting an
odor which was not only of
fensive but dangerous. The
authorities burst in the door of
the shop and ripped open one
of the hams and found that the
hams were Eastwood dummies.

The Art of Writing

Writing began with the rude
picture writing on bone and
rock and passed slowly by a nat
ural and inevitable transition
from the representations of the
objects to the symbolic sugges.
ton of idea, to a word alpha
bet, and then to pure sound sign.
The whole process is manifest
from the very infancy of Egyp-
tan picture writing, as crude
as that with which the savage
people still record theif. deeds
From these crude signs the pro-
cess went on in its slow trans
formation to the phonetic wri-
ting typified in the Kosetha
stone, to the Phoenjcian, Greek,
and Roman, notifications of
which brought US to the arbi-
trary sound-symbols which the
voice combines into articulate
speech. Auxiliary.
Clifford Pinchot former Chief
Forester under Theodore Roose
velt, is mentioned as a probable
candidate for the republican
nomination for governor of
New York. You have heard
the old saying, you can't keep
a good man down. and it seems
to apply very fifty in this case.
According to all reports he
came out with flying colors in
the Ballinger investigation,
much to Mr.. Ballinger's dis
gust. Mr.. Taft and the ad-
ministration exonerated Mr..
Ballinger before the investiga-
ton began but he failed with
the public at large to clear
himself of any of the charges.

The negroes arrested were George

To
Be STATES
LARGEST
-FOUR DELEGATES FOR EACH
CONVENTION VOTE WILL GO
TO ATLANTA TO NOMINATE
HON. HOkE SMITH AS THE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.

Atlanta, Aug 26.-The state con-
vention at which Governor Hoke
Smith will be formerly nominated,
will be held on the morning of Sep
tember 1st, at the auditorium
and will be called to order by Charles
R. Pendleton, of Macon, chairman
of the state democratic executive
committee.
There will be 1858 votes in the con
vention. Governor Smith will have
not less than 215 votes and Cover
nor Brown not more than 15S votes.
The prorating rule will split up
many counties votes. The cIcseness
of the race for governor, the candi-
dacy of Edward H. Walker, and the
primary rules may work some queer
pranks at the state convention
Dodge county gives Hoke Smith half
Of its votes. Several counties in
which neither candidate received a
clear majority of popular votes is
reported
The rule provides that if the low
est candidate does not receive enough
popular votes in a county to entitle
him to onefourth convention vote
his name shall be dropped and the
convention representation divided
between the other candidates.
Dodge is a two-multiple county
and its multiple, according to the
construction placed on the rules oy
former state chairman Hewlett Hall,
is eight. The total vote in Dodge
was 1903. A simple calculation puts
Walker out of the running, for to
be entitled to one-fOurth in Dodge
county, candidate should have re-
ceiyed not fewer than 200 popular
votes. Walker received only and
is therefore out of it.
A further calculation shows that
Browns sol popular votes entities
him to A of a convention vote plus
or 1 vote, plus a two hundredth part
of vote.
Smiths 795 popular votes entities
him to threefcurths of a convention
vote. plus 195-2O0
Under Mr.. Halls construction.
Smith would be given a whole vote
because his fractional vote is so
nearly equal to the popular valuation
of fourth vote.
Thus Dodge county's vote is a con-
vention will be Brown, 1, Smith L.

Mr.. Smith will go in the state ctn-
