as, 900 BILLS IN CONGRESS.

In an interesting article in the
March Woman's Home Companion,
entitled How Laws Are Made" the
vice-president Of the United States,
James S. Sherman, tells exactly how
the mechanism of legislation works
at Washington. He goes on to say
that in the last session of congress
$4,000 bills were introduced. Were
congress in session 800 days a year
and working eight hours a day it
could devote only half an hour to
each of these measures. Where the
average annual session is five months
and congress sits less than five hours
"a day each bill could receive eight
minutes consideration. The major
portion of this mass of bills is of
private nature, relating to pensions
and claims against the government,
but there are thousands of measures
pertaining to general subjects, such
as the tariff and other Important
matters.
1t is obvious that this immense
number of bills cannot be considered
individually Mr. Sherman says:
1t is in committee that most of
the real work of lawmaking is done.
Debate, as :. rule, has little effect
upon the fate of measure. It is
largely the froth of legislation; the
substance is the work performed by
the committee which has the partic-
ular matter in charge. On political
questions members vote their party
convictions, or are supposed to do
so, while upon other and non-politi-
cal matters, or those which Rave nc
partisan significance, they almost al
ways follow the recommendations OF
the committees. Variation from this
practice is the exception and not the
rule"

RAISE HAY THIS YEAR.

This thing of Southern farmers
buying hay from the West is just a
little bit too ridiculous for anything,
and all of us will share with the
Progressive Farmer the opinion that
it is something to make US every
one ashamed, and we can't quit it
minute too soon. That paper says:
"One thing we must do this year,
and that is to raise more hay and to
arrange for more pastures. 1t is
time for every one Of US to face the
fact that the greatest prosperity can
only come to Southern farmers
through a system of diversified farm
ing, and this means that we must
keep more livestock and feed them
better. But, of course, we must buy
hay so long as we don't raise it our
selves. Dozens of farmers in every
section Of the South have proved that
hay raising Is more profitable than
cotton raising, but the most of US go
right ahead and disregard all the
evidence of their experience. Per-
haps there is some hope for reform
this year. We have realized that to
plant all the land we possibly can to
cotton is not the way to get rich.
Let us now realize that a good past
ure-one in which real grass grows
and a good hay crop will go a long
way towards making us independent
and will keep here in the South
many thousands Of dollars that we
have been sending away to other sec
tons"

The first issue of the Southwest
Georgian, published at Fort Gaines
by w. c. Kelley, has reached us, and
is a most creditable paper in every
respect. Fort Gaines newspapers
have never done well-in fact, none
of the many ventures there have
ever succeeded-but Editor Kelley
intends to make the Southwest Geor-
gian the exception, and we believe
he will do it if the people of the
town and county stand by him as
they should. Fort Gaines is one of
the best towns in Southwest Geor-
gia, it's people are clever, intelligent
and progressive, and publisher and
people should have a common inter
est in the success of the paper. 1t
is too good town and they are too
fine people to be without a live
and representative newspaper.

THE PASSING OF A ONCE
FAMILIAR CHARACTER.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Every school building in New Or
leans is to be stripped of its light
ming rods. An expert told the school
board that lightning rods on house
were as farcical as carrying a buck
eye in the pocket to keep off rheu-
matism, and so Chairman Levy of
the board ordered them down. Our
information" said Chairman Levy,
is that lightning rods do not at
tract at a greater distance than for
ty feet, and that they are often act
ually menace because of defective
insulation or grounding. The troll
ley, telegraph and telephone wires of
city are far greater protection to
its buildings from lightning than
any number of rods would be-"
Without in any manner consider
ing the efficiency of the lightning rod
the New Orleans incident invites at
tention to the fact that a character
that we knew once, Familiarity, has
practically if not actually passed out
of existence. We refer to the light
ming rod agent. He was live wire,
carrying high voltage. He travelled
over the country districts with two
horse team, his wagon loaded with
rods and pretty bright bulbs and
spears to go on the top of the erect
ed rod and draw" the lightning
AS a talker the lightning rod agent
had the politician beaten a mile.
When he struck prosperous looking
farm, the buildings of which were
unprotected there he camped, and
discoursed eloquently about electric
ity, it's dangers and the only sure
means of defying the lightning, until
when he went away the chances were
that every house on the place, from
the residence to the hen house,
would be bristling with shining
spikes, set up to draw" the light
ming. In the village the lightning
rod man put his team up at the
livery and himself at the best hotel,
and when he had looked the ground
over he began a campaign of educa-
ton along scientific lines that gen
orally ended with the atmosphere Of
the village being filled with silvered
globes and gilded spikes set up by
the philanthrOpist for the protection
of life and property.
twenty-five to forty years ago the
lightning rod man covered the coun-
try and his voice was heard at every
hamlet and cross roads. And he was
a pretty good sort of fellow, too He
had a fund of stories and knew how
to tell them well; he made money
and was not niggardly in spending it.
What he assumed to know about
electricity would fill a book what
he didn't know was probaDIy d great
deal more. But he could talk and
sell the goods, and that was the main
point. The old travelling lightning
rod agent seems to have had his
day and passed out. And while he
entertained us, and made us buy rods
that We didn't want, and took notes
that we had trouble in meeting at
the bank when they fell due, so quiz
city has this agent passed that we
have hardly missed him.
