Awaiting the End.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
In the pleasure of other absorbing
topics the public has no doubt lost
sight of the five men who are in the
death house at Sing Sing prison as a
result of the murder of Rosenthal,
the gambler, in New York city. But
the public is very eager to read sto-
ries of the commonplace details of
the daily life of these men, or in fact
of any men in a similarly desperate
situation. Death comes to every man.
Hangings and electrocutions are not
infrequent, though possibly they do
not come so frequently as they
should. Yet there is always wide in
terest in the manner of a death. In
the case of a criminal who dies by
the hand of the law nearly everyone
wants to know whether he died
game" what his last words were,
whether death came quickly or slow
ly, and scores of other details.
And so there is great interest in
the daily life of former police Lieu
tenant Becker and the four gunner
who, with six other men, are in Sing
Sing under sentence of electrocutiOn,
The former police officer has been
chosen captain of the eleven. His
new title isn't recognized by the
state. 1t is conferred by the consent
of his unfortunate comrades. 1t is
their recognition of his powers of
leadership. They are likely, there
fore, to give heed to some extent to
his advice They are all in the same
predicament. Becker stands little if
any better chance than Gyp the
Blood, for example, of ever leaving
prison alive. What he says to them
may be regarded, therefore, as sin
cerely what he thinks.
He has told them to ''cut out this
idea of dying game and study the
Bible" What does dying game
mean to the criminal mind? Does it
mean going to death arrogantly de-
flying the law to the end, laughing
at thoughts of punishment after
death? Or does it mean sitting in
the electric chair or standing on the
gallows trap calmly, without boast
ing, without a physical tremOr? Lieu
tenant Becker does not advise his
comrades to go to the chair limp
from fear, shedding tears, afraid OF
death, but to go Sustained and
soothed by an unfaltering trust. y
That is pretty good advice. 1t is
that given in Bryan's "Thanatopsis. -
1t will apply equally well to those
who approach death in their beds as
to those who are sent into eternity
in the fatal chair or at the end of a
rope.
1t is good whether it is adopted by
Captain Becker's followers or not
or whether he himself fails to follow
it when the time of supreme test
comes. If the sentences of Becker
and the gun men are carried out
there will be very great interest in
knowing whether they died as if they
were merely lying down to pleasant
dreams"

Off With CorSets and Pads Says Paris

for their walk. but for the charming
curves of their figures, and when 1t
comes to our own dear mothers each
and everyone of them tried to possess
a small and tapering waist Then, l
myself have had my own worries
about the fit of my gowns, and have
actually lost my temper and fused
over "a wrinkle, a bit of bagginess or
too much looseness. Yet all these
belong to the past. The new figure
knows them not.
Paris says it is the absolutely nat
ural figure-the uncorseted figure.
1t is the figure without spine, with
out a curve, without suggestion OF
a tapering waist line. 1t is loose and
limp, it bags and says, it wrinkles
and crinkles. Not to make big eff
fort to acquire this figure, from the
Partisan viewpoint at least, means
that we are out of style"

secure the services of such road
expert.
In one group of four counties the
road experts spends about three
months in each county, solving the
engineering problems and giving sli-
rections to the superintendent of
the road gangs, and inspecting the
work from time to time.
How ROckdale Does 1t.
For many years Rockdale county
for instance, spent some $4,000 Il
year on roads with no results worth
mentioning The money was spent
mainly for patching roads-and
wasted, as is usually the case.
For the last three of four years
the county has had the services of an
expert road engineer, Mr. T. P. Stan
ley of Athens, and the road force of
the county has been building roads
under his competent direction.
The whole system of road building
in this county has been Thoroughly
overhauled and made to be as bust
ness-like as any other business un-
dertaking.
AS a result the roads have been
kept in repair by flying squadrons, at
work in the various districts, while
the main body of road workers has
completed from three to twelve
miles of improved permanent high
ways each year.
And there are no better roadways
in Georgia.

Fall Business Is Good.

Although there has been no cool
weather to create a demand for fall
and winter merchandise, the mer-
chants all declare that business is
picking up rapidly and the indica-
lions for prosperous season are
good.
A great many out-of-town shop
pers are in the city daily, and az
say that the stocks of goods in
Dawson are the best they have
seen. The show windows are pretty
and attractive, and are the objects
of much admiration.
The outlook is that business in all
lines will soon loosen up in fine
shape, and that trade during the fall
and winter will be the best the mer-
chants have ever had.

Cold Storage and Food Supply

Now that the cold storage business
has become a permanent feature of
the American food industries it is a
public duty to investigate the varied
aspects of this mode of preservation
with a view alike of correcting its
shortcomings and developing its pos
sibilities. In many quarters the
manifold aspects of cold storage and
its practical applications to human
health and nutrition have not as yet
received the serious consideration
which the magnitude of the interests
involved warrants. Figures some
times serve as stimulus for a bet
ter appreciation of the facts of com
merce and the progress Of science.
A government report is authority for
the statement that the estimated re-
ceipts into cold storage during one
year amounted in round numbers to
131,O00,000 pounds of fresh beef,
2O,O0O,OOO pounds of fresh mutton,
100000 pounds of fresh pork,
157,OOO,0OO pounds of butter and
100000 cases of eggs. 1t appears
that 8. / per cent of years produc-
ton of fresh beef, commercial
slaughter, goes into cold storage;
and the data for the other meats fur
nish even larger figures. OF the farm
and factory production of butter dur
ing year 90 per cent goes into the
cold storage, and of the farm and
non-farm production of eggs Is per
cent. The wholesale value of fresh
beef, mutton and pork received into
cold storage totaled $35,O0O,0OO; of
butter $4,000, 900; of eggs $64,-
600, 900
Influences of such magnitude bear
ing directly on so vital a matter as
the food factor in national welfare
assuredly cannot be overlooked by
those interested in the public health.
Inasmuch as some of the abuses or
Objectionable features of cold storage
have conferred in the unduly prolOng-
ed retention of food products, with
the consequent possibility of deterio-
ration and incipient decay, instead of
perfect preservation, it is interesting
to learn in an authentic way some
thing about the actual periods of
time during which the food products
have in the past actually been sub
jected to the conservation processes
by cold storage in practice 1t APP
pears that the receipts into cold stOr-
age are entirely or very nearly ex-
hausted by the deliveries within ten
months. Very small percentages of
some of the commodities were stored
for a much longer time, but these
are explained by warehouse men as
being caused by special circum-
stances of an monumental nature,
The largest "carry-over" into the
second year of storage of the six
products investigated has been in the
case of dressed poultry, that of eggs
being decidedly the lowest.

WASTE IN ROAD BUILDING.

From the Home and Farmstead.
A little while ago we went all over
one of our wealthy Georgia counties
taking a look at the farms, churches,
school houses and roads.
Every year for the last ten years
the money expended upon the roads
of the county has amounted to some
thirty thousand dollars.
But there is not mile of what
anybody would call good road from
one end of the county to the other.
That is to say, the road authorities
of the county have just as certainly
wasted 100000 in the last ten years
as if they had made bonfire of it
in the court house square.
Where Waste Occurs.
The chances for wasting road mon
ey lie in improper location, improper
grading, lack of bitches, drains and
culverts, improper browning, i'm
proper choice of materials, in the
lack of road machinery of the proper
sort and quantity. insufficient az
rangements for housing, feeding,
clothing, guarding and moving con-
victs. unbusinesslike methods OF
handling moneys and accounting for
the same, and so on.
In this particular county the road
builder was good-natured, good
humored. popular, infuentially re-
| lakeland thoroughly inefficient.
For fear of hurting .ebody's
| feelings or starting a partisan row
the county has wasted in the last
decade 100000, and wasted it
mainly in patching and repairing
/ roads.
What Every County Needs.
This county needs what every 9TH
er county in the state needs-an ex-
pert road engineer and builder. Some

HUSTLING MARKS
LAST DAY FOR
EXTRA VOTES
Pony Man Says Bonus Doubles
Power Of Subscriptions
petitors Urged to Utmost.

Saturday night the special bonus
vote offer for pony contestants striv-
ing for The Georgian and American
prizes comes to a close. Reports show
some great hustling is being done.
As has been explained, liberal al
lowances of extra votes will be made
for every club of $S5 $25 or SIS paid
In for subscriptions. In most cases
these bonuses are so liberal as al
most to double the regular voting
strength of that amount Of subscrip-
tions.
Think of it," said the contest man
ager. Voting power Of subscriptions
just doubled! Why, II 1 were a con-
testant I'd stir heaven and earth to
make up a club, and when that had
been accomplished I'd stir things up
again to get another club. Every. con-
testant ought to turn in at least one
S35 club a day, and should try to
get two. Then If he falls short of
two $35 clubs he can undoubtedly
turn in a $35 club and a $25 club. And
that means a good bunch of votes"
They can't keep me from it," said
one of the hardest workers"
He means it, too! No acquaintance
of his has been left unsolicited. So
earnest is he in his desire to win one
of the ponies that he is making the
work almost his sole business.
This is the day of Miss Robert Har-
bour's birthday party. Many of her
guests have told her they intend Civ
ing subscriptions to The Georgian and
American as membranes of her
fifth anniversary. The celebration is
at $40 Ponce DeLeon avenue.

A poet of Warner, viewing Judge
Revill with evident and pronounced
alarm, proposed over the initials c.

in his honor's honor, the which has
been published from one end of the
new county to the other:
Here's to the new county of Warner.
So good bye to Greenville and
Judge Revill.
When we get our new county and

They can go to the ID"
The trouble about this of course,
is that few people will believe a per
son so whole soUlcd, Companionable,
good natured and altogether delight
full as Judge Henry Revill ever will
go to any such person, thing or state
of mind as this poet suggests.
Unless the Legislature revoke the
dies non declared Saturday, it viii
adjourn on Thursday, August IA.
That will be the final day of the con-
stitutionally limited so.
Dies non has been declared in the
past, time and again, only to be re-
voked before the end Of the session.
The great trouble about a dies non,
of course is that the members re-
ceive no pay for that day whatever,
and it is consequently a dead eX-
pense to them. However, a day gets
to be a mighty precious thing as the
session draws near its end. and the
one dies non declared this session
likely will stay put.
Although there remain only three
weeks ahead Of the Legislature, there
vet is no talk of afternoon or evening
sessions. The afternoons are needed
so badly for committee meetings that
they can not be spared.
Before the end of the session how
ever both afternoon and evening ses-
sions will be held.
