about and he said, 81 see some colts

TESTING HIS STRONG WILL
conceited Club Man Caught In At
tempt to Prove Superiority of His
Mental Powers.

At one Of the clubs the other day
two members were arguing about will
power. The conceited man, who was
in the habit of boring all present with
his pointless tales, said that his will
was stronger than his friends.
you are wrong there" said the
quiet man, "and will prove it in this
way. You go and stand in that cor
ner, and will will you to come out
of it. You will against me, and bet
you that will have you from that cor
ner before l have commanded you a
second time"
The smart one took the bet, and put
himself in the corner. The quiet man
said, in a commanding voice.
Come out of that corner!"
The other grinned and shook his
head. The quiet man sat down and
looked at him steadily. Five minutes
passed, and then the man of will said,
with a sneer:-
Hadn't you better give it UP?
don't feel any influence at all, and
can't stand here all the evening"
"There is no hurry" said the quiet
man, "and l haze a very comfortable
seat. There is no time limit except
that you are to come out before 1 ask
you twice, and as l don't intend to
ask you again until this day week,
think you win feel the influence be
fore then"
The smart one came out.

SWEDISH RAPID FIRING GUN
Eleven Hundred and Twenty-Five
Shots an Hour Fired From Weap-
on That Is Carried In Hand.

Ever since men began to kill each
other, which was very soon after self
ish interests began to clash. good
share of their leisure time has been
devoted to the elevating of inventing
instruments for that killing
1t is curious that erudipes still APP
pear in the weapons which the
genluses of centuries have labored
to perfect and that our eye should
be opened at this late day to almost
ludicrous imperfections in our most
cherished killing machine, the rifle
Yet it is only few years since the
smoke Of black powder was done
away with and comparatively mat
ter of days since Maxim produced
his sound-choking flame-suppressing
device. And now comes news from
Sweden that an inventor there has
found means, at last, to stop the
kick which has made sore shoulders
from the time the first blunderbuss
was discharged, and has constructed
a weapon that will drop men so fast
that single markspan may dispose
of a regiment in an hour.
Eleven hundred and twenty-five
shots to the hour from a gun that is
carried in the hand and fired from
the shoulder is high record. If that
gun is smokeless and kickless, 1t is
convenient to handle and but little
trouble to operate
The weapon has already taken rank
with the most approved and will
doubtless become part of the arma-
ment of many os the worlds armies.

SAXON has oIRDLED EABTH
Where the Thin Red Line Has Not
Gone Man Has Not
Found.

The Saxon has marked around
this earth, as no other race before
him, the scarlet circle Of his power.
This thin, red Saxon line, so thin
with his numbers, 50 red with his
blood, was made possible only by his
heroism and his racial fealty.
Where this line has not gone man
has not found. 1t has crossed every
sea; it has traversed every desert; it
has sought every solitude; it has
passed through swamps where only
the sacred ibis fishes; over sands that
have never been moistened; over
SHOWS that have never melted. There
has been no storm it has not encoun-
tered no pain it has not endured !;
no race it has not fought and no dis
ease it has not contended with.
This Saxon line has been to the
earth a girdle heroic and tragic,
binding within itself all the old and
ancient places of the world. 1t has
been silent in its duty, ignored in
its achievement and scorned in its
devotion. Yet it has given down to
this now neglectful race a world such
as mankind has never known before !;
an empire over which the sun and
stars shine together and where night
never falls nor day dawns.-From

WHEN VETOES ARE MADE. HOKE
SMITH VETOED TWO BILLS
AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

ATLANTA.-Like the old story OF
whose OK is gored it appears to make
a decided difference as to the name
and identity of the governor who
yetoes bill on the ground that it
is unconstitutional.
Governor Brown has recently been
extensively criticised in certain quar-
tiers for Yetoing the bill requiring
the railroads to pull mileage on the
trains. The leading ground on winch
Governor Brown vetoted the bill was
as he stated, it's apparent unconsr-
tutionality. His critics have charged
that if the bill were unconstitutional
or if there were grounds for bel1ev-
ing it unconstitutional he should
have approved it and let the courts
pass on it.
A we'll known Georgian, who mas
been investigating the matter, mas
that Governor Hoke Smith vetoed
at least two bills on the ground that
thew were unconstitutional, and ne
saws there is no record of any similar
criticism having attached to MIN LOT
this action. 60

JUST ACQUISITION OF WHICH GOVERNOR

but as to what governor does it.
"On August %, 1911, Governor
Smith vetoed a bill amending sec
ton 1924 of the state code when
provides fees for processioners and
county surveyors, and seeking to de-
crease these fees. Governor Smith
declared the measure violative of the
section of the state constitution
found in paragraph 6445 Of the state
code, and concluded by saying:
''The unconstitutionality of this bill
is so perfectly clear that it would be
useless to publish it in the acts or
to burden the courts with deciding
it's unconstitutionality,"
again, on August %, 1911, Gov
ernor Smith vetoed senate bill No. 4,
providing for the Office of state audi
tor, and closed his veto with the tol-
lowing statement: The provisions
of the bill allowing two assistants
to the treasurer, one to be placed in
the treasury department, not being
included in the title is, therefore,
unconstitutional and void
Here were two vetoes by Gov
ernor Smith on the constitutional
ground, and there is no record of any
storm having been raised about them.
Many instances might be cited OF
of vetoes on constitutional grounds.
In this case Governor Browns veto
OF the mileage bill appears to have
been seized upon as an opportunity
for his enemies to attack him, and
they are trying to make the most OF
it,

bright of Burke is also a candidate
]. E. Sheppard of Sumter has also
announced as an aspirant for the
house leadership. AS matters lie
now it is an open race, as none OF
the candidates has sufficient pledges
to make it sure.
Candidates are also bobbing up for
president of the senate. Randolph
Anderson of Savannah and John Al

actively seeking support for some
time. Now news comes from Column

NEGRO IS WORTH 100000
ROBERT CHURCH, JUST DIED AT
MEMPHIS, WAS A SLAVE.

Only Negro Who Ever Subscribed to
a Fund to Entertain the COnfed-
crate Veterans at Reunion.
MEMPHIS, Tenn.-From slavery
to a millionaire is the brief story of
Robert B. Church, negro who died
at his home here today. He was
born "a years ago in Holly Springs,
Miss.
Church's wealth is estimated by
Memphis bankers to exceed $1,000
900. He owned valuable business
property and over $50 residences in
the city and several hundred acres of
land near the city limits.
Church began work on a cotton
plantation. When old enough to
work he was sold to the owner of
Mississippi river steamboat. His
boyhood was spent as cabin boy on
boat that piled in and out of Mem
phis.
After the civil war Church left his
boat and obtained position with a
wholesale merchant. From that he
embarked in the saloon business.
Then he began to buy real estate.
Church was the only negro of
prominence that ever subscribed to a
fund to entertain the confederate
veterans at their anL1al reunions.
He did this when the first reunion
was held in Memphis fifteen years
ago, giving $1,000.
