TWO CHApLAINS
FOR THE STATE
INSTITUTIONS

Evidently because, as suggested by
Senator Norton, there are no follow
ers of Abraham in the state penten-
uary and reform school, no provision
was made in the house bill of Collins
for the appointment Of a rabbi to act
as chaplain at state institutions, and
should a member of that race be un-
fortunate enough to become incar-
cerated within their walls it would be
up to him to either accept the Prot
estant or Catholic religion ir depend
upon the voluntary visitation of
teacher of his religion.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment Of two chaplains for each insti-
tuition, one Protestant and one Cath.
olic. and fixes their salary at $500 a
year, The plea urged in behalf Of
the bill was that both religions
should be represented but, strange
as it may seem, the senator's, in their
liberality of hearts and minds forgot
the jewish religion, and 1t was prob
ably this that brought forth the
caustic remark from Norton, and an
caustic one from Dimick.
The bill was passed with but two
votes against it.

THE SENATE
HAS BRIEF FIT
OF ECONOMY


After sending tina general appro-
priation bill skywaFd many thou
sands In excess of that fixed by the
ways and means committee, the sem
ate last evening became seized with
an economical fit, and voted down the.
house bill Of Gill, appropriating
$1,000 yearly for an extension depart
ment for the Agricultural College
and also the bill Of Reynolds appro-
priating $4,000 for the samh institu-
ton for agricultural investigation.
Senator Nottingham vigorously op
posed both bills on the floor. He
asserted that the legislature had al
ready dealt out appropriations with
such lavish hand that he felt guilty,
was ashamed to go home and face his
constituents. The legislature, he
maintained, had dealt literally with
the college, and the time had come to
call halt
Senator Lester voiced similar SEN
timents, and so did several other SEN
ators.
Both bills were defeated by large
majorlties. The surprising feature
was that the cut came just few
hours after the senate had s6mt the
general appropriation bill soaring

USEFUL DISCOVERIES
Are Not Always Startling, Neither
Do They Create the Most Talk.

1t is not always the greatest, most
startling discoveries of science that
are most useful to the human race.
Comparatively few people were di-
rectly interested in Herschel's find
ing of the new planet Uranus, but
many thousands have been benefited
by Prof. Unna's experiments, which
proved beyond a question that Dan
druff and Badness are the results Of
the inroads of a parasitic germ which
invades the roots of the hair
The discovery of the true cause OF
badness made Newbro's Herpiclde
possible. Herpicide effectually kills
this germ. Destroy the cause, you
remove the effect.

cents in stamps for sample to The

"the decision Is wise one, aud the

that policy have found, chat Mt Will
benefit in the end.
much of the prejulices against
railroads which has been capitalized
by certain type of politician is due
to the old-time mistaken policy of
exclusiveness and lack Of confidence
towards the public on the part of the
corporations. A railroad is quasi

about any important occurrence con-
nected Herewith.
Until a few years ago, every rail-
road in the country maintained rule
of secrecy with regard to matters OF
public inteest that would have
shamed the officers of the Car Of
Russia. When wrecks occurred, those
with ali available correct information
gave correct limitations Of the calamt-
ty when the newsgatherers went
around. The result was that re-
porter assigned to wreck always got
a "sto1y" from somewhere or some-
how, but it was usually inaccurate,
exaggerated and nine .imes out OF
ten unduly harmful to- the failroad.
But the newsgetter was not to blame;
for in many instances wrecks oc-
Cured at inaccessible points or es-
sential details could be obtained only
from the management Of the road.
"But the policy announced by the
Southern is only one step in diree-
tion that many should be taken by
the managers of railroad properties.
They should take their patrons into
their confidence, and be perfectly
frank with them regarding rates,
schedules and all other matters re-
lating to service. They should have
nothing to conceal, and therefore
should hide nothing. Let the public
understand about the operations OF
railroad, and in a majority Of cases
it will be convinced that it is operated
honestly. Knowing this, the ear OF
the voter will not be attuned to the
screachy voice appealing to anti-rail-
road neutrality-suspicious. which
con be overcome as to the body OF the
people by candor and open dealing. .

Keep Good Towns Down.

The Augusta Chronicle says hun
dreds of good towns lave been Kept
in the village classification and de-
MED their proper growth by factional
strife and personal arimosities. As
an example Of what I" means by the
above the Chronicle says they are
now trying to pass bond Issue IN
Colquitt, Miller county. We know
nothing of the proposition. 1t may
be good or it may be bad, but the
issue seems to have been forgotten In
the factional bitterness engendered
by its discussion. An exponent up
holding the bond issue writes col
umn long card to the local paper
from which we extract the following:
Right here I dispute ever being
=, an associate of yours during any
period Of my life. No connections
whatever with you except imagi-
nary objects from your multiple
vision.
find you still suffering from
A
illusions.
Take the safe remedy from your
old family physician. Stop your
shocking, kicking and
hing; close your childish pratt
ties; get with the progressives.
Again, being an orator of re-
nown, many Of us remember with
great pleasure your maiden ora
ton delivering medals to the mer-
tied at the close of the late Miss
Alice Mccain School. (hic).
1t is reasonable - assume that the
above is in reply to something equal
ly as personal and foreign to the
question at issue. NO matter how
badly the bond issue may be needed,
it would be better to forego it entire
ly than to precipitate debates of such
type between leading citizens. Such
senseless pow-wowing holds many a
good town down, and lets better tenn
pered and less deserving rivals YES
cape with the bone Of progress.
