Extravaganza In Appropriations.

AS has been frequently remark
ed, this is a great country, bill
lion dollar country, Republican
statesman said when chided for
the large appropriations made by
Congress. That may be true but
it does not prove that as much
money as was appropriated by
Congress should be necessary to
run the Government, and it would
not be necessary if the good old
Democratic doctrine of economical
administration could be enforced
by Democrats. AS long, however,
as the Republicans are in National
power the crime of exacting more
taxes than are necessary will be
continued. Hope, based on APP
parently the surest grounds, now
sees that this abominable state of
affairs is soon to end and by the
election of Democratic Presi-
dent and Democratic Congress.
The appropriations of Congress
for the year are $1,019,626,-
143 &c, which is $21, 000,00 be-
low the estimate and $1,000, 900
less than the previous year not
withstanding the great increase of
appropriations for pensions. Even
with their handicap the Democrats
have been able to put some check
on extravaganza. What they
would do if given full control is
easy to imagine. Divide the APP
preparations among the people of
the United States as given by the
last census it will be found that
every man, woman and child pays
nearly SIP per year expenses of
the Government. Add to this
amount the State, county, munich
pal and school taxes and it will be
seen what burden of taxes the
people carry. That it will be re-
lieved in part there is every reason
to believe. The Democratic party
is the party of economy and that
it is shortly to come into it's own
even the stars sing together in
confidence. -Lexington Herald.

start downtown. Lackaye urged
Brisbane to accompany him to the
Lambs club and be his guest at din

MAY CLEAN UP MYSTERY.

The mystery concerning the birth
place of the Venerable Bede, Eng
lands first historian, has a prospect
of being solved if the ecclesiastical
scheme for excavating the founda-
tons near the ancient tower of st.
Peters monastery, Wearwouth, is
successful. The monastery was
founded in the seventh century, and
is now part of the fabric of Monk
wearmouth parish church. The foun-
dations of the building, believed to
have been part of the monastery, are
situated near the west side of the
tower, and they have never been ex-
plored. The unearthing of the crypt
and of interesting tablets and memo
rails is probable, and this may throw
light on the birthplace of the Vener-
able Bede.-London Graphic.

WHY GREEK REPUBLIC FELL
Work Of corruptIons and Dlssenslons
Rather Than Of the Man
Of Macedonia.

The old world has already re-
vealed to us, in its unsealed books,
the beginning and end of all its own
marvellous struggles in the cause of
liberty. Greece, lovely Greece, "the
land of scholars and the nurse of
arms" where sister republics, in
fair procession; chanted the praises
of liberty and the gods-where and
what is she? For two thousand
years the oppressor has ground her
to the earth. Her arts are no more.
The last sad relics of her temples
are but the barracks of a ruthless
soldiery. The fragments of her col
umns and her palaces are in the
dust, yet beautiful in ruins. She
fell not when the mighty were upon
her. Her sons were united at Their
mopylae and Marathon, and the tide
of her triumph rolled back upon the
Hellespont. She was conquered by
her own factions. She fell by the
hands of her own people. The man
of Macedonia did not the work of
destruction. 1t was already done
by her own corruptions, Danish
ments and dissensions.-Judge

lic."

SOUTH AFRICAN DIAMONDS.

The diamonds Of South Africa are
found in a peculiar basic rock called
kimberlite, or 'blue ground" which
consists Of chrysolite and various
other minerals, and fills the pipes
of ancient volcanoes. No diamonds
have been obtained from the numer-
Gus foreign inclusions of igneous
and sedimentary rocks that have
been suspected of being the original
matrix in which the carbon crystal
lied. The kimberlite has been
much broken and altered and in the
De Beers mine it has nearly seven
per cent. Of combined water at
depth of more than 1000 feet
These evidences of explosions and
disintegration, with the unusual
amount of water and carbon at
great depth, have suggested to DR..
o. H. Derby new theory of origin.
The pipes Of kimberlite, he be-
heves, must have become saturated
with liquids and gases while in
tensely heated. In such a mass the
carbon-which would be present as
carbon dioxids and probably in
other gaseous forms-would be sub
jected TO the conditions that expert
ments have shown may cause segre-
cation and the forming of crystal.

WEATHER MAN PUTS
BLAM E FOR COLDS
ON SMOKE NUISANCE

Atlanta smoke, which Dr. Mcfarland
says is worse than that of Pittsburg, is
responsible for many of the colds from
which Atlantans are suffering today,
according to Weather Man VonHerr-
mann.
Just look out of that window" he
waved his hand toward the fourteenth
story window Of his offices indicating
the great pail of mufkiness which hung
over the city. "All that can not help
but inflame mucous membrane and It is
a wonder that Atlantans do not suffer
from colds to an undue degree.
"In any other section of Georgia one
can see for several miles. You can't
even see a mile through this smoke. l
don't think 1t has any effect on the ela-
ments, though I do believe that we
would have much more sunlight here if
hard coal We're used. London has
passed a law requiring hard coal to be
used by all"
The weather man thinks that the
mercury will not go below 3S again for
some time. It will probably be cloudy
Saturday and Sunday. though no rain
is expected.

MOOSERS BLOCK
PINK VOTE PLAN
Democrats Decide to Use Only
White Slips When Progress
SiveS Select CoIored.

Shortly after noon today, Chairman
William j. Harris, of the state Demo-
cratic executive committee. announced
that the proposed pink" ticket for the
use of Wilson and Marshall voters in
the presidential election would be with
drawn and the customary white ballot
only recommended to voters
Mr.. Harris said that the pink" tick
ct was proposed originally merely as a
safeguard to the Democratic party in
Georgia and to enable the Democratic
committee to locate "bolters" in the flu
ture.
He said he had learned. however. that
the Bull Moose party had decided, since
the Democratic pink" ticket idea leak
ed out, to undertake the Illustration Of
the Democratic plan by issuing pink"
ticket also. This the chairman points
out would defeat utterly his primary
object, which was to confine the voting
of the "pinks" to Democrats.
Mr.. Harris said, in further explana-
ton Of his reversed attitude, that a
number OF lawyers of staging had in
formed him that to require all Demo-
Gratis to vote exclusively pink" ticket
might be-and in some circumstances
surely would be-construed to be intim-
idation and duress, and thereby endan-
ger the entire Wilson and Marshall bal
lot in the state.
This, the chairman said. the commit
tee would be very much disinclined to
hazard. He thinks It much better to
withdraw the pink" tickets entirely
than to run any risk in the election.
The "pinks," therefore, will be with
drawn, and the Wilson and Marshall
ballots Will be entirely regular.
