Remarkable Souvenir.

IA brick fell from scaffold on top
of a five-story building under construc-
ton on Whitehall street in Atlanta,
and, crashing through the windshield
of limousine at the curb, fetched up
against the hood with a frightful

The negro chauffeur, who was crank
ing up at that moment, thought the
engine had exploded When he got
back to the car-from across the street
he picked up the brick, examined il
critically and slowed it away in a
box under the drivers seat.

Why He Kissed Her.

Daniel J. Shern, who practices law
when he isn't guiding the House of
Representatives was reminded of a
story when he read the verdict in the
breach of promise case against young
Walling in New York, says the Phila-
delphia Times.
Il was counsel for the girl in a case
once" said the lawyer, "and | thought
we had a good case One of the strong
est points was the ardent wooing IF
the defendant We stipulated at least
4 PA kisses he had planted upon the
fair ones ruby lips. Imagine our sur
prise when the defendant admitted it.
That's true said he, testifying. 1

Had to do ito l roared, hoping to
embarass him.
"'Yes, he answered. I either had to
keep kissing her constantly or permit
her to sing, and-well, I preferred the
kissing"

GEORGIA As A MANUFACTURING
STATE.

+ The census department OF the Blu
Ereau of Commerce and Labor of the
federal government has just issued a
preliminary statement of the statistics
/ Of the last commercial census concern
I ing the manufacturing enterprises in
( Georgia. The figures of the census are
eloquent with the story of the growth
and development of the state in this
most important line of commercial en-
/ deaYor.
An increase of 40 per cent. is re-
corded in the number of manufacture
, ing establishments in the state, as
shown by the comparison of the cen
sus figures for the period ending with
1904, as contrasted with the period
ending with 1909. This means that
t1,573 new manufacturing plants were
established in the state within the five
year period noted, which added to the
previous number, 3,219. made a total
iof 4,792 at the close of 1909. During
the year 1910 and the part of the
present year, which have interviewed
this total, of course, has doubtless
been greatly increased, as is doubtless
the case with the other totals given
below.
The capital invested in these enter
prises has increased even more than
the number of plants, the total now be-
ing 1902, 913,0 900, which shows an in
crease of 67,701, 900 over the $135, 212,-
600 invested at the close of 1904. or ar
increase of 80 per cent. The cost Of
the materials manufactured in these
plants has increased from $50, 900
to Sill ,931 900 in the five years, max.
ing an increase of $33,3O6,OOO, or 4C
per cent The subjecting OF these ma
terials to the processes of manufac-
ture caused them to appreciate in
value from $67,415,O00 to $85,71O,000
an increase of $1S,295, 900, or y pei
cent. One of the most important items
of all is that which shows that the
salaries and wages of the workers in
these establishments have increased
from $33,320O0O to $43,878,0OO, thereby
giving the wage earners of the state
SIC, 558,000 more than they received al
the close of the preceding ffve-yeal
period.
These figures tell clearly and COL
cisely the story of this part of Geo.
gia's industrial progress almost up tt
the present time. They show that the
state is rapidly forging to the front a:
a manufacturing state, thereby gain.
ing the industrial development which
it has long needed. Manufacturing in
terests are necessary for any state OF
for any city which hopes to make ra-
pid progress and to become great.
1t should be an object lesson to the
citizens of Americas and of Sumter
county to foster in every way the de-
velopment of more numerous and more
varied manufacturing enterprises
Much progress has been made in this
particular here, but with the rar'
agricultural wealth surrounding Amer
icus the city should have a much larger
number of manufacturing enterprise:
and these of such nature that they
will develop every line of industry tha

Thomas Darlington Macaulay should
perhaps have ranked with the uni
versal geniuses, but it is true that his
precocious gift was largely in the di-
rection of literature. He read inces-
sanity from the age of three. At seven
he had composed a very fair COM
pendulum of universal history from the
creation to 1900. At eight he had
written q treatise destined to convert
the natives of Malabar to Christianity.
AS recreation from this weighty
work he wrote in the same year ro-
nance in the style of Scott in three
cantos, entitled The Battle of Chev-
lot" A little later came a long poem
on the history of Olaf Magnus and a
vast pile of blank verse entitled Elm
gala Poem In Twelve Books" But
he disliked mathematics and did not
pass his examinations in that subject,
thus standing out among all child
prOdigies. His memory was such that
he literally never could forget any
thing and after twenty years could
repeat bits of poetry read only once,

When down the tair at morning
The sunbeams round her float,
Sweet rivulets of laughter
Are bubbling in her throat;
The gladness of her greeting
Is gold without alloy;
And in the morning sunlight
| think her name is JOY.
When in the evening twilight
The quiet book-room lies,
We read the sad old ballads,
While from her hidden eyes
The tears are falling, falling,
That gives her heart relief;
And in the evening twilight,
think her name is Grief
My little April lady,
OF sunshine and of sorrows,
She waves the old Spring magic,
And breaks my heart in flowers .
But when her moods are ended,
She nestles like a dove;
Then, by the pain and rapture,
know her name is Love.

She does not wear a harem skirt, and
has no wish to wear one;
The disposition that she has might
well be called a fair one;
She has no foolish whims or fads, she S
wise and she is witty,
And, more important still, perhaps,
she's graceful and she's pretty
She has no time for trashy books, she
never looks inside them;
Her talents are uncommon ones, and
well she has applied them;
She plays the harp with splendid skill
she's modest, as she should be.
There may be sweeter girls, but | can't
we'll see how there could be.
Yet why should I be wasting time in
singing praises of her?
She is my sister; so, of course, the
world must know I love her;
She's all my sister ought to be, as
faultless as a baby;
If all girls were as she, should / ap-
prove of them? Well-maybe.
