of Mr.. Chamlee, of Tennessee. received
and ordered referred to the grievance
committee charges preferred against Jo-
seph H. Choate, of New York, by James
r. Watts, petitioning for the appoint
ment of a special committee 10 consider
and report upon petition to expel Mr..
Choate from the association. ONLY two
members of the grievance committee are
present. Messrs. Lehman and Peck. No
report of any kind has yet been heard
from this committee. Only fnw MEM
bers of the association are aware of the
charges filed at this time, as they were
not read. 1t is believed the special com
mittee will be appointed tomorrow. and
will give careful consideration TO the
grave charges against Choate.

former ambassador from the Uniteo
States to Great Britain, has been guilty
of the gravest violations of professional

of ethics of the American Bar assoc
citation, has been guilty of divers and
many offenses, in violation OF gooG

tanned in the allegations, which were
placed before the bar association this

the Westons guaranteed to Watts GER
tain prices for COAL that the contract
was worth about $4,000 to Watts and

BUILD HALL IN MEMORY
LATE ALEX STEPHENS

SPARTA, Co., Aug. 30-To the men,
DRY of a great and good man, Alexander
Stephens, the Sparta Agricultural and In
dustrial institute will erect a building on
its grounds to the memory of this noblest
statesman of the south, whose memory
is cherished not only by the people Of the
south but throughout the north. To a
man who has done so much for his coun-
try for all the people, too much cannot
be done to his honor.
II would be a great thing II the peo-
pie of the south would enter largely in
giving the money to erect this hall to the
memory of Hon. Alex H Stephens. The
founder of this institution was a former
slave of his brother. Judge Linton Ste
phens. He was educated by Hon. Alex
II. stephens. The Sparta Agricultural
and Industrial institute is founded for
the purpose Of giving practical training
to negro boys and girls n industry and
agriculture; to instil into the mind of its
youth the dignity of labor of all kind.
An appeal to the good people of Geor-
gia and the south to assist in erecting
this useful and worthy monument to this
grand statesman is now being made. The
trustees of the institution are some OF
Hancock's best white citizens.

DRESSING the Hair

When one has lived as long as 1 have
they have seen many fashions come and
go. and 1 guess every keen observer has
seen some fashions that were very ridicu-
lous in the course of a half-century. And
my readers may set me down as an old
fogy when / say / think the present
style of hair dressing will be very
laughable when our successors and de-
scendants glance over the old fashion
plates Of 1910.
The enormous head arrangements re-
quire enormous hats to cover the super
structure, and now that the bottom Of
the skirts are drawn in so close below
the knees and ankles, dressy women have
the appearance of walking sticks with all
the adornment of the top. Isn't the idea
ridiculous?
Anybody is at liberty to dispute my
statement, but 1 am rrmly convinced
that ones own hair is obliged to suffer
when IL is crowded with rats and super
fiuous curls. or covered up with chignons.
1t stands to reason that the roots or the
hair must have air tn be, vigorous. They
must have ventilation to be healthy. and
they must be clean to be nice. How can
the roots be clean or healthy when they
are covered up with enormous rats and
masses of outside hair?
AS somebody has well written, all these
rats, puffs, wads, fig baskets and what
not are germ traps! Some people wash
their hair and some brush 1t with gaso-
line or other cleanser. but 1 think all
hair should be washed when it is dirty!
The head with the hair on it is as much
a part of your body as your feet with toe
nails on them. Wash your hair; let the
air circulate in it, and IL you pack 1t up
with hot coverings you will suffer In the
loss of it.

worse We were captured one day by

was an ivory merchant, and he stationed
me in a tree some distance from his
house. gave me a bow and arrows. and
ordered me 20 shoot at any elephants
that might pass under my tree. For
some time ] continued this occupation,
shooting at least one elephant a day.
Sometimes two. One day I heard a ter
rible noise. and saw a whole herd of ele-
plants stampeding across the plain.
They stopped beneath my tree, fixed
their eyes on me. and held that position
until I dropped in sheer fright Then
one OF them threw me on his back and
carried me of without attempting TO do
me the least injury The other ele-
plants followed
Finally we came to a broad fat space
where the one who carried me threw me
of. Then all Of them. after uttering
that terrible noise that had alarmed me
at first went OF. I looked about me and
saw that I was evidently in the place
where the elephants bury their dead.
Round about me were strewn many
teeth and tusks OF elephants. Then I
understood that the elephants had
brought me to their burying ground that

Mr.. Taft'S Burdens in National
Politics

When the Republican candidate Tor
president was campaigning IN the au-
tumn of 1908, there was general De-
lief throughout the country, that ne rep
resented the idea of tartff reform, anu
his continuous experimenting lndlcateo
his desire to abate some OF the rlsorS
of the existing tariff law.
He talked about revision day by day.
and the progressives- in his own party
proclaimed his positive intention to lower
various tariff duties, in response 10 the
demand of their own constituents
Mr.. Taft's speeches sounded that way
to them-and it is certain they READ thaI
way in the daily papers. =,
President Roosevelt Endorsed his poll
cies as a continuation of his own pro-
gressive policies-and 1t would have beeIi
taken as an insult by Mr.. Tafts trlenus
to have limited he did not mean what ne
said in those frequent and continuous
declarations.
But It is lust to Mr.. Taft to say we
believe now he did mean what he SAID
in that successful campaign OF 1905.
But there is many a slip
'Twixt the cup and the lip"
I really suppose mat only presidents
can truthfully tell us the length ana
breadth-the height and depth of the col
umn of political pressure which is ap-
piled to every man who wins a seat IN
the White House, as chief executive OF
the nation; because the men who advance
the money to conduct these successrui
campaigns have keen eye to business
and usually look out for their money
worth after the election is over.
1t was evident that he was literally be-
sieged by the "stand-patters" who were
unwilling to revise the tariff downward
and despite his repeated assurances from
the rostrum he maintained an alliance
with the Aldrich-Payne combine.
Then ''the rift within the lutte" be-
trayed itself. Those who had made sue

Baking Without an Oven and

/ have never seen the ''fireless cooker
in operation, but If ii does all its advo-
Gates claim it can do we will see great
revolution in farm house methods, espe-
cisIly in August weather. II Is the heat
of the stove that gets away with the
ailing mother OF housekeeper. l have
been preserving fruit and making jelly
within the last fortnight and there was
no discomfort save the heat, and when
we perfect the freless cooker where half
cooked food can be put in the cooker and
left to cook itself in a closed receptacle,
we will have Obviated at least one-half
of this overheating work in midsummer.
/ wish some housekeeper who has ex-
perimented with the fireless cooker would
give the readers of the Semi Weekly
Journal her experience.
Cooking by gas Is a wonderful help
in the hot old summer time" but the
gas burns so f1ercely that you can't go
off and rest awhile You must keep a
close watch or something is going to
happen.
During the Chicago worlds fair, we had
an exhibit of what could be- done with
electricity in the way of cooking and for
neatness, cleanliness and good heat, moth
ing is ahead of electricity in the kitCn-
en-. I never. ate more beautiful cake
than the electric cooker made for US
in Chicago.
The principle of correct baking means
an even degree of heat about the article
you are cooking. and the nreiess cooker,
/ am told, is noted for its even, as well
as continuous heat. So we must certain
ly have even heat.
We must have economy IN money and
economy in work to obtain the desired
results in kitchen affairs. We can cook
with a hot stove or hot open fireplace,
but it does not pay to cook ones brains
while we are cooking the food. Give US
your experience, housekeepers!
