Never Were Ribbons So Varl-CoIored

Never were ribbons so beautiful.
That sounds trite enough, but It ID

fashionable this season, and win be
much used for trimming gowns. Some
OF them are bordered with velvet, and
there are attractive moire ribbona
bordered with a narrow cord Of gold.
Chiffon velvet ribbons are also in great
demand for trimmings. They come IN

Sea Routes to Siberia

From the Scientific American.
Contrary to previous reports it now

ports and northwestern Siberia by way of
the Arctic ocean and Kara sea have been
hsapproved by the Russian government.

undertaking. which appears entirely feas-

traffic from the Siberian railway.
On the other hand, the Russian authori-
ties are furthering in every way the estab-
lshment of communication by sea between
Pacific ports and northwestern Siberia
via Behring strait. A surveying party
under Captain Grunfeld has proceeded
from Yakutsk to Nishni Kolvinsk, at the
mouth of the Kolyma river, to make
thorough investigation of that port and
the geologist, J. p. Tolmatschew. will
study the conditions of navigation
between the mouths of the Koly-
ma and the Lena. including MI examina-
ton of the Lena delta, with view to es-
tablishing a sea route to the latter region.

ESTABLISH TWO NEW

Atlanta. August 4.--(Special. )--Indica-
tons now point to the establishment OF
two new counties In Georgia, both in the
southern section of the state, as one of
the results of this session of the legisla-
ture. M
These are the counties of Bleckley and
Wheeler. named respectively in honor of
Judge Logan E. Bleckley, long famous as
Justice and chief justice of the state SUI
preme court, and Gen. Joe Wheeler of
Confederate cavalry fame.
Bleclxley county will be formed of a por-
ton of Pulaski taking Cochran as the
county seat. Cochran is a town of some
considerable proportions and has long
sought to become courthouse town.
Wheeler county will be formed of that
portion of Montgomery county west of
the Oconee river, and will have Alamo as
its county site. 1t was first proposed to
name this county Kent In honor of the
father of Representative Kent, a pioneer
settler who still ives there, but the senate

Prof r. B. Hudson, one of the most
prominent negro laymen in the whole
south, enjoys the distinction of never hav-

convention. He is secretary of the Ma
tional Baptist convention and declared
that greater results were accomplished at
this meeting of the Alabama state con-
vention than ever before.
Arthur w. Mitchell, president of the
Pamela Normal and Industrial institute
of Pamela, was introduced to the conven-
ton. He told of the struggles he had to
develop an industrial school In the black
belt of Alabama, of the destruction of his
whole plant by fire, and later of the gift
of 400 acre tract of land by a wealthy
white southern planter who had interest
ed himself in the educational work which
Mitchell Is trying to do in west Ala
bama.
Strong resolutions on temperance and
education were adopted which committed
the convention and its constituents to the
prosecution of education, particularly as
represented by Selma university, and to
the destruction. so far as possible, of the
whisky evil among negroes.

BROWN WOULD GIVE
GEORG|ANS CHANCE
Believes People Should De-
eide at the Polls for or
Against Prohibition

Atlanta, August 4-lSpecial 1.-The death
of the Tippins prohibition bin through the
refusal Of the house of representatives TO
sustain Governor Browns Veto probably
means an end to attempted prohibition
legislation unless the voter figures as a
court of last resort.
That was the one issue of the campaign
for governor in 1911, following the resig-
nation of. Gov. Hoke Smith. In that cam
paign Pope Brown stood for prohibition
straight out; Judge r. b. Russell was .
local optionist. reverting to the old regime
before the passage of the present prohi
bttion law; Governor Brown came in be-
tween the two and said II am a prohi-
bitionist, but do not think this ques-
tion should figure in a political fight. I
believe the people should settle it at the
polls, and l will oppose any change what
ever in existing conditions as TO prohibi-
tion that does not carry with 1t pro-
vision for submitting the question to a
vote of the people,
Governor Brown won by a large plur-
ality. and it was clear if that election
meant anything, it conveyed the INSTRUCT
ton that the prohibition law should only
be changed at the ballot box
The prohibitionists of both house and
senate now see their mistake; they feel
too, that they have lost strength as a re-
suit of their refusal to permit the ques-
ton to go to the ballot box.
This Is already evident in bills which
have been introduced following knowledge
of the practical certainty that the COVER
nor would veto the Tippins measure.
Before the senate there are now pend
Ing two bills, one 10 abolish locker clubs
and the other to close up the near beer
saloons and stop the sale of beer. Both Of
these carry with them the provision that,
II passed, they shall be submitted to a
vote of the people at a special election
to be held the first week in December.
The passage of these measurs and their
approval by the governor would be in
line with the result of last years election
for governor. Whether they will get
through both houses is a question on ac-
count of the idteness of the session.
But the prohibitionists of house and
senate had their chance and lost it, and
If they get anything at all in the little
time there is left of the session they will
be fortunate.
