LOST: SOME POLITICAL PLUMs.

The Savannah News thinks Gov
ernor Brown is getting some satlS-
faction out of the decision Oh the
supreme court that opens the way lot
him to fill a dozen or more Ounces
which Senator Smith undertook 10
fill while holding two ottlces-Vnose
of governor and senator-and no
doubt he is. The terms or these OIL
fees expired during the time the leg
isiature was in session, and Governor
Smith made nominations to them
and sent them to the senate, but that
body refused to confirm them, After
the legislature adjourned Governor
Smith assumed that the Offices were
vacant and he proceeded to fill them.
And now the supreme court says that
he had no right to make the appoint
ments. since no vacancies existed,
the men occupying them holding
over until their successors were ap-
pointed and confirmed by the senate.
Our Savannah contemporary re-
calls the fact that at the time Gov
ernor Smith made the appointments
the point was raised that he was eX-
ceeding his authority and adds
Being a good lawyer he ought to
have known that he was. If he had
doubt about the matter he took
the chances that his appointees
would be able to hold on to the
offices. 1t turns out, however, that
these appC 'ntees will have to retire
and those whom they succeeded will
step back into the offices and con-
Uinue to hold them until Governor
Brown makes appointments to them.
1t was thought by many that Gov
ernor Smith held on to the offices OF
governor as long as he did after be-
ing elected senator simply to put
some of his friends in office. If he
did those friends are now out in the
cold. Governor Smith didn't have
the authority which he exercised"

In an article in the June Woman S

sents an interesting study of the IN
equality that exists between men ana
women. Following is an extract

and mans love of enjoying himself
with men undisturbed by the female
of the species was symbolized by a
meager and virtuous pool table at
the back of some grocery store. Yet
that pool table was requented daily
by coterie of law-abiding men, mar
ried and other. The men OF the
town for want of club gathered
themselves together at a BARRIERS or
at a fruit store, or, after the day S
work was finished, stood in groups
at the end of wharves, splitting out
to sea and conversing, far away from
the unsocial feminine atmosphere
In these various uncomfortable and
unsympathetic spots they talked to-

A USE FOR ENGLISH sPARROWs.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Practically the unanimous Verdlct
is, or has been, that the English
sparrow Is nuisance from every
point of view. The sparrow has been
charged with about all the crimes
that may be brought against bird
life, and in public opinion convicted
of them all. The sparrow has not
bothered to make any defense, being
too busy fussing and fighting and
raising a family. Now, however, IL
appears that so powerful an agency
as the United States department or
agriculture holds up it's hand and
bids us desist from an unbroken de-
nunciation of the English sparrow.
The bird is not all a bunch of wick
edness and sin, it seems, but really
has redeeming qualities.
Reports to the department of agrl-
culture from Utah and Arizona were
to the effect that the alfalfa crops
were being seriously injured by Pc
culiar weeVil, and the department in
structed its experts of the biological
survey to look into the matter. The
survey has made a report, in which
it is stated that the alfalfa weeytl is
a menacing fact that is going to give
the farmers a lot of trouble, and
that the most active enemy of the
alfalfa weevil is the despised English
sparrow.
That would seem to suggest a
back to the farm" movement for
the English sparrow II there is
work on the farm for the bird the
farm is the place for it. But how is
the transfer to be accomplished? The
English sparrow is a confirmed city
dweller, like a great many human
beings. The bird would prefer to
live on street sweepings-from hand
to mouth, as it were-in the city
to living in luxury and growing fat
on alfalfa weevils on the farm.
Lovers of birds generally will
watch with interest what the biolog-
ical survey does in the matter. The
understanding is that 1t will under
take to propagate the English spar
row in the infected alfalfa districts
of Utah and Arizona. 1t is just pos
sible that the sparrow may be induc-
ed to take up a rural life when 1t
finds the feeding excellent, but it
has not heretofore done anything OF
the sort. It's record in this country
is all of the sinister sort. 1t is a
fusser and a fighter that has chased
the song birds out of town. Would
it. indeed, be a good idea to send
the English sparrow to the tall
eyrase9

other than her thanks. She secured
his name and address from the con-
ductor, however, and year or so
ago, when she died, there was be-
quest of 100000 for him
A big-hearted New York police
man 3 years ago saw woman in
distress. With her little daughter
she had just come from an upstate
city and upon landing from the train
her purse was stolen. Tickets and
money both were gone, and she was
a perfect stranger in the big city.
The policeman bought tickets and
sent her home, thinking no more of
the matter. The other day the noble
fellow was informed that he had just
fallen heir to $4,000 through the
death of this woman, who took that
way to reward him for his kindness
to her in the hour of her distress.
A man from Wilmington, Del,
while travelling on a train a few
years ago was first aid to a fellow
passenger who was taken suddenly

by the old gentleman, who had not
forgotten the deed of kindness.
An employer took especial care to

man whom others either Stunned or

no more about it after the man had
quit his service for what promised a
greater opportunity. A short time

thoughtful employer was given 3d.

Not long ago a doctor was surpris-
ed by the gift by will of $4,000 for
having some years previously be-
friended a widow whom he thought
to be penniless. Another who re-
ceived a like bequest for kindess in
the past is a clerk in Pennsylvania,
who had really forgotten having
shared his rations and the contents
of his canteen with a comrade in the
battle of Santiago during the Span
ish-American brush. The clerk final
ly recalled the incident, but he did
not know the name of the soldier he
had befriended.

HUMANITY TO ANIMALS.

Evidence of inhumanity to ami
mails is seen on the stl eets OF
Dawson almost daily, and not one
of us is doing what might be
done to deal with and lessen the
evil. To put it literally, there does
not seem to be any intelligent organ
lied effort in our community to pre-
vent or punish cruelty to dumb
brutes, or to inculcate in the minds
of children ideas of humanity and
consideration. This matter Is fully
as important to the children who are
growing up as to the helpless ami
mails whose defGnseless status fairly
challenges our consideration. The
child whose parents fail to teach
kindly feeling for dumb and helpless
things will become a selfish, incon-
siderate man or woman, whose pres
ence and influence will be anything
but agreeable or desirable.
We of the community are not do
ing what we might and should to OBJ
viate cruelty to Gods helpless and
dumb creatures, of which instances
are of such frequency and nature as
should make us all feel ashamed Of
our neglect of duty. The News vent
ures to suggest that humane society
be organized here and movement
started for better things. There
would be reform, we are sure, es-
pecially if leading women and men
eve put the women f1rst) were in
duced to show active interest. The
News does not want to seem DESTROYS
Of prominence in such move, but
we hope some one will make start
and call the community to help and
combined action.

A WORTHY NEGRO DIES.

The announcement that Sam
Steele, who had been in the service
of the state longer than any other
negro employee, dropped dead at his
post of duty in the state capitol
Thursday morning was received
with genuine regret throughout the
state. He was one of the best known
persons at the capitol, and had been
connected with the state house for
more than thirty years. He was the
porter in charge of the executive Of
fees under many governors until
Governor Terrell took charge, when
he was transferred to the attorney
generals office.
Sam knew intimately more public
men than any other darkey in Geor-
gia, and always attentive, polite and
trustworthy was liked by everybody
who knew him. He will be missed
by Georgians who visited thu cap
itol.

Practical, Sound and Reasonable.
From the Lumpkin Independent.
Mr.. Mercer is plain farmer, was
born and readed in our neighboring
county of Webster and has made
farming a merited success. He is
proprietor of Elladale Farm, a large
tract that brings profitable results
year by year But he is gifted with
intellect, intelligence and experience,
and having been a farmer all his
life he is conversant with the prac-
teal needs and wants of the farm
ers. This article would be too long
for us to review or comment upon
the various issues before or to come
before congress, but if you will take
the time to carefully read his plat
form you will find that his ideas and
views upon these issues are practical,
sound and reasonable, and if enacted
into law would vastly benefit the
people, especially the farmers and
working classes. One thing we are
well assured of, and that is if Mr..
Mercer is elected the Third district
of Georgia will have the best con-
gresham this district has had in a
