whose fields may be attacked. The
farmers are energetically attacking
the worm, and there Is reason to be-
lieve successfully. since we have no
report that fields that have been
treated with the remedy for the worm
haven't been freed Of the pest.
We assume that the worm that Is
doing SO much destruction is the one
that. at intervals in recent years, has
appeared in the forests and stripped
the trees of their foliage. II 1t isn't
the same kind of worm it Is similar
to II. The worm that infested the
forests didn't travel far from the
place in which 1t made its appearance
and died as soon as II had stripped
the trees In that vicinity.
II that proves to be the fate Of the
worm that is now attacking the cot

do will not be great, though a good

UNITED STATES SENATE.
A Useless Body and Should be AboI-
ished.


A good deal has been said about the
advantages that would accrue from
electing United States senators by d.
rect vote of the people instead Of by
state legislatures. But can any one
tell why 1t would not be a much more
excellent idea not to elect them at all ?
In other words, isn't 1t about time
we got rid of the senate altogether?
What's the use Of It? Did 1t ever
do any good?
None. 1t Is an anachronism. 1t Is
a hold-over from utterly outgrown
aristocratical social conditions.
The two-house idea was natural
enough in a day when there were two
distinct, well recognized classes Of
citizens-nobles and commons.
The upper house, as the lords In
England, represented the upper class.
the endowed class, who did not have
to work for a living,
So long as such class existed It
was proper enough that they should
have a voice in governing. In Ameri-
ca there is no such class; at least none
such recognized. Then why keep an
upper house?
There Is no reason. 1t Is a survival.
1t is as useless as the vermiform ap-.
pendix, and as dangerous.
We wear a senate for the same rea-
son we wear a stovepipe hat; because
the Europeans do.
Furthermore, read over your Ameri-
can history and you will see that ev-
cry crime against the people. every
unfair privilege, every obstruction to
progress and liberty has been cham
pioned by the senate.
1t was advocated In the first place
by that party which feared popular
government and thought there could
be no stability except in aping arlsto-
cratic institutions-by Hamilton and
his group.
1t was the bulwark of the slave oil
garchy. This I mention because 1t is
past.
Other things may not mention,
they are mixed in present politics. But
this much can be said: There Is no
form Of privilege that is not rooted in
the senate, defended and sustained
there.
And the United States has no other
enemy so deadly as privilege.
1t would be money In our pockets to
pension the senators for life and send
them home.
We need a senate about as much as
a cat needs two tails.
We need II precisely as much as
we do the entirely ornamental "elec-
toral college,"
The problem Of government In the
early days of democracy, when the
people of Europe were just out grow
ing kings and had not yet become used
to government, was to prevent
the popular will from acting too has
tily. For that purpose upper houses
were invented. They were brakes on
the national wagon.
Nowadays our need Is opposite. Our
problem Is to get the national will
easily and quickly carried out.
There are other brakes much more
up to date, and much more safe. Let
us take off the clumsy old upper house
brake-Dr. Frank Crane In Atlanta
Journal.

WHAT FIELDER RECEIVED.

ollna TOT Dig 0takeSs
Many people have asked for def
mite information as to what amount
of money T. B. Fielder. Jr, the Allan
ia lawyer, received in this state.
The following from the dispensary
commissions official report, shows
what was received:
"F'ifty-one thousand, one hundred
and seventy-four dollars and forty
cents was deducted from the amounts
of claims due by the state dispensary
on account Of overcharges on those
claims, and $122,297.72 was deducted
from the same claims on account OF
overJudgments found against the
claimants in the matter Of old and
prior sales made to the state dispen-
sary, as Is shown by settlement vouch-
er No. SS1, Of Anderson, Fielder,
Rountree & Wilson. Adding these
three last items together, we find that
the entire and gross amount Of graft"
and reductions of accounts amounted
to $311, $4,000. plus $23.01375, amount
of claim Of Carolina Glass company,
making a total Of $334,897.77. The ex-
penses Of the former commission, as
shown in Exhibit &C." amounted to
$2S0,9S1.83. Among these expenses, as
shown by the reports, resolutions and
books Of the former commission, there
was paid as attorneys, fees and ex-
penses and detective services, $751;
1887, and in addition to this amount
$4,000 of this fund has been appro..
priated and placed at the disposal OF
the attorney general by the general as
sembly for the prosecution Of violators
of the dispensary law. making the total
for attorneys, fees, expenses and de-
tective service to be $196,1S3.S7. or
this amount it appears that the firm
of Anderson, Fielder, Rountree & Will
son received from collections made by
them as fees for their services, the
sum Of $145,33S.29, Of which $126, ,0S3,-
O43 was paid by the commission In cash
and the balance, by them as fees and
commissions on $20.254.S6, was with
held and retained amounts collected by
them. Henderson Inteligencer.

THE clNEMAToaRApH
Some of the Tricks Of the Moving Pic
ture Man.

| A trick picture Is usually the COM
bined efforts of the comic-plot writer
and the expert cinematograph opera
tor, says the Strand. The operator Is
continually puzzling his brains for new
effects with the camera. He conveys
these to the plot-writer. who works
them up In the form Of very short
story. When we see the finished pro-
duction on the screen 1t Is, to most OF
US, q work Of complete mystery, and II
| Is asked "Are they really taken from
life?" We often see, for instance. ON
nibuses travelling at speed OF a hum
dred miles an hour flowers which jump
from a table and arrange themselves
| in a vase, or a man diving with the
greatest ease head first out OF river
and landing on his feet on the bank.
How are these things done?"
In order to discover. these secrets
permission was obtained to join pic
ture company who were then engaged
| in the production Of a film entitled
"The Uncanny Scot" The party con-
sisted of q stock company Of dozen
J or more actors and actresses stage
manager, photographer and some
stage hands. The work to be done con-
sisted chiefly Of outdoor street scenes,
miles out Of London In order to avoid
the unpaying audiences which such
strange scenes always bring together.
The plot Of the picture in hand was
given to us to read, and although some
Of 1t was perfectly Ineligible. the plot
contained such mystifying notes as
STOP" Reverse" Turn on stops"
and Sub dummy" These were the
stage tricks we had come to investi-
gate.
The work commenced outside a
cigar store and each scene was most
carefully rehearsed. A youthful actor,
as an errand boy who was engaged in
opening the shop. brought from 1t a
dummy Scotchman In the act Of taking
snuff, and placed 1t in position at the
shop door. At this point the stage
manager, who was conducting the
operations, View a whistle and Instant
ly the boy remained motionless and the
modus operandi Of the first trick was
Irehearsed.
The company understood by the
whistle that they were to cease the
slightest movement, and the photog-
rapher that he must instantly stop the
camera.
The dummy of the Scotchman was
now removed and an actor identically
dressed was arranged in precisely the
same position. The whistle went again
and the boy resumed his work. When
next passing the Scotchman he re-
ceived kick from him, which caused
him to bolt into the shop in terror.
The whistle now sounded again. and
lrurther substitution Of dummy for man
was made by the stage hands. An act
or -tobacconist came out Of the shop.
and the boy explained what had hap
pened, but was dumfounded when the
master turned the figure upside down
and thus showed 1t to be lifeless. The
scene proceeded, with many stops and
changes from the live Scotchman 10
the inanimate dummy. Stopping the
camera simultaneously with the cessa-
tion of all animation insured that the
effect on the screen would be perfectly
continuous. as, Of course, the film
would be run through without any
break.

Tho Worm in Georgia.-Judging
from the many reports the Morning
News is receiving from widely separa-
ted parts of the state relative to the
damage that is being done by the
worm that is devastating fields OF
corn. cotton and other plants 1t isn't
surprising that the farmers generally
are much alarmed by this insect.
There is q ray of comfort in the re-
port on the worm that was sent out
from Washington n day or two ago
to the effect that 1t isn't the army
worm. but what is known as the
grassworm. If this information Is
correct the worm will soon disappear
and the damage 1t will do will not be
widespread, though it may destroy
whole fields of corn and cotton in the
localities i'm which it appears.
There Is no doubt that the worm
will cause heavy loss to many farm
ers. In fact. 1t has already done so.
but the farmers generally find salts
faction in the report by government
experts that it will soon disappear.
and that it's ravages will not include
any considerable part of the state.
That, of course, doesn't help those

rehensible Class of Gentlemen.
for a great deal Of harm that comes
from circulating stories that, having
a basis Of fact, are wholly mislead-
ing. A large number of reporters are
furnishing news to papers who
ought to be blowing or doing some
thing else that calls for silence. They
jump at conclusions and pad their
stories to suit themselves. A case
in point was the conviction Of Eugene
Hayes Of Surry county, wealthy
moonshiner, before Judge Boyd, who
was said to have been endorsed y
the moderator and clerk of the Bap-
tist church of Mount Airy Of which
Hayes was represented to be a lead
ing member. OF course the moderator
of Baptist church was an office Gre
ated in the fertile imagination Of this
resourceful reporter, and Hayes men,
bership in a reputable and influential
church added a peculiar flavor to the
story. We happened to be in Mount
Airy recently and took occasion to in
quire about this gentleman. We were
Informed that he is not member of
the Mount Airy Baptist church nor of
any other missionary Baptist church
That his home is twenty miles from
the town of Mount Airy, that he Is not
wealthy, but a poor and ignorant man
and that, stripped Of all it's finery, the
case was very commonplace and II II
had been truthfully told would have
attracted no attention whatever.
Another class of reporters, however
go a bow-shot further, and ought to
be arraigned in the courts. These
reporters do not require any basis of
fact whatever to build their stories
on, but manufacture their material
out of the whole CLOTH The story of
a woman whose children were bitten
by rattlesnake and whose body was
drowned in a washtub, is an illustra-
tion of the latter class of reporters. 1t
Is now stated that the whole thing
was fabrication from beginning to
end, and what pleasure q lie so monu-
mental gave to the man who told II
we cannot see. 1t was not even orig
inal, for liar some years ago invent
ed a story and sent 1t to the papers
which was Identical with this one. Not
only does such story bring needless
pain to sensitive natures but it shakes
the confidence Of the public in the pa
pers that are imposed upon. There
ought to be some proper punishment
provided for so reckless and degener-
ate purveyor of falsehood.-Charity

rule and seven votes were not cast at
all.
In order to get Mr.. Ryan into the
delegation of his native state without
any uproar at the time, the organiza-
tion had to make q concession Of half
Of the 10th districts strength to the
Wilson people. Then they made the
proposition later that the district dele
cation be increased to four men with
one-half vote each, instead Of the reg
ular two delegates, and offered to let
the Wilson men name two Of these
four.
Suspecting nothing, or possibly pre-
ferring to accept the opportunity to
get a couple Of Wilson votes in a dis
trlct which could have been carried
entirely by the anti-Wilson organiZa-
.tion II 1t had come to a fight, the Will
son advocates agreed and named their
two men. One Of the other two men
named by the machine was the multi
millionaire Industrial magnate, gener-
ally believed to reside in New York,
but who is a native Of Virginia and
has his voting residence and country
estate there.
When Senator Swanson asked last
night that his state. be passed by until
it's delegation could be polled, q husky
Texas delegate, wearing a yellow coat,
guessed at the situation and cried out
from across the hall: "Send Ryan
home" This brought out some cheer
ing and some laughter. both at Vir-
ginia's expense. But when the Old
Dominion's name was called again af-
ter the poll and the majority Of her
delegation was reported to be against
the unit rule in Ohio. the galleries and
many Of the other State delegations
were surprised.
When Virginia voted. however, It
was plain that the Harmon people had
lost the contest on the rule. Just what
the Virginia vote would have been II II
had been decisive Of the result Is quite
another story. though 1t would have
been impossible in any event to apply
the unit rule in the Virginia delegation
on this question.
The strong Underwood sentiment
among the anti Wilson men in the
Virginia contingent was offish on the
unit rule proposition, fearing that 1t
might work in the end against them.

But Why Would they Caueus?-


Gov. Blease said in his speech at Ches-
terfield on Saturday:
During the press convention In
Spartanburg they had a caucus on
Blease. The majority opinion was
that the newspapers had better keep
quiet. Others said they had better
give Blease hell from the start"
How in the world did he find that
out? He must have had one or two of
his detectives on the watch.
The Observer editor was present
from the beginning to the end Of the
press convention and attended every
session, and heard nothing Of any
caucus. In fact we never heard the
governors name mentioned at any
meeting of the association, and scarce
ly heard 1t mentioned in private con-
versatiOn.
If the press convention held an an
