senate Page so Alert Man Who Watches
Him VIII Send Him to College.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-L. l..
Mum, a wealthy citizen OF Utah, was
watching the proceedings of the Sem
ate from gallery, when his atten-
ton was attracted by the alertness
of one of the pages of the Senate
Clyde s. Barley. For page to at
tract attention from the galleries
means more than one might think,
as the dozen boys that run errands
for senators are all dressed alike,
and are about of the same age-less
than fourteen years old. Mr.. Num-
promptly made inquiries, found that
Clyde's record was good and decided
to pay his expenses for a four-year
course at Cornell University.
From a senator who has known
Mr. Num- for years it was learned
last night that Mr.. Num- is now pay
ing the way of nearly fifty boys

Dancing Masters standsrdize Fox Troi,
Hesitation and Maxine.

PHILADELPHIA Dec. 21.-Twenty
of Philadelphia leading dancing
masters have decided to standardize
the fox trot, the tango and the
maxixe to eliminate the confusion of
steps and styles of dancing evident
at every big dance.
Special attention was given to the
fox trot, and it was scientifically dis
sected, analysed and classified rigidly
into exactly five prescribed figures.
The intricacies of the hesitation,
the tango, the maxixe and the one
step also were reduced to scientific
formulate. The canter waltz, the
half-and-half, the Pavlova gavotte
and Brazilian polka remain to be con-
sidered, but the dancing masters in
tend to continue their deliberations
until all these steps have been thor
oughly discussed and standardized.

From the Boston transcript.
Before the House reduces the mile
age rate to five cents upon the expec-
tation of the Senate restoring the old
twenty-cent gouge, we advise it to
remember what happened when it
persisted in putting up on the upper
body the responsibility for permitting
the sale of liquor in the United States
capitol.

bopeIess

She has such sweet and gracious ways
To know her is to love her.
No fair one worth a poets praise
Deserves a place above her.
Her merits and her beauty rare
Make her prize worth winning
She has such glorious eyes and hair
And that's but the beginning.
So fair, and yet beyond my reach
No hope TO win her favor!
For me, indeed, she is pesch,
But with an acrid flavor.
For | must own her gaze on me
Is always cold and arid;
No charm in me she seems TO see,
And then, besides, she's married.

A barrel of Whiskey contains some

the regulation forty-two gallons it

A barrel of headaches, of heartaches,

A barrel of curses, a barrel of blows
A barrel of tears of a worldweary

A barrel of sorrow, a barrel of strife
A barrel of all-unavailing regret;
A barrel of cares and barrel of debt;
A barrel of hunger, of poison, pain;
A barrel of hopes blasted and vain;
A barrel of falsehoOd, a barrel OF
cries
That fall from the maniac's lips as
he dies;
A barrel of poverty, ruin and blight;
A barrel of terror that grows with
the night.
A barrel of crimes and barrel OF

The Meat Problem.

According to the United States de-
.,,,o rtment of agriculture the past year
soos to the value of $73, 100000 died
from disease and exposure, more than
90 ner cent of the loss being from
hoo cholera. Eight hundred million
nounds of dressed meat and lard are
represented by these 1865, 900 head
Of swine that never went to market.
The country is experiencing its third
severe period of hog cholera.
The loss in cattle from disease and
exposure is reckoned at $685. 200,
in sheep $8,581,OOO; in horses and
mules $50, 100000.
These losses are enormous, and
aDart from their relation to the high
cost of living involve vast amount
of animal suffering.
In this connection a wall of an
guish that comes from the cattle rails
ers of Texas is a matter of note. They
can see nothing but ruin for the live
stock industry unless the duty on
meat from abroad is reimposed. In
January our importations of fresh
meats amounted to 12,764,749
pounds: in February to 15,2S1,576
mounds. Colonel Ike Pryor, we'll
known authority on beef on the hoOf,
saws that if this rate of increase goes
on indefinitely there will be trouble
and worries on every hand. That
may be if it goes on long enough, but
il will not be the consumer who will
do most of the worrying. 1t will be
a sad day for the people of this coun-
try. according to Mr.. Pryor, when in
stead of the United States feeding
the world the rest of the world will
have to feed the United States. That
is true, but it is not likely to come
TO pass.
Free meat from abroad will be
restraint on soaring prices, and the
more we can get of it the better. 1t
will never be sufficient to hurt the
native producer. The solution of our
meat problem is to be found in an
extension of home production by in
ducing the small farmer to recognize
the profitable aspect OF stock raising
on a small scale.

Taking Care Of Roads,

While millions of dollars are being
spent in Georgia in building public
roads, through a short-sighted policy
little is being done toward their
maintenance. After the roads of a
county are laid out and are being
travelled the question of maintenance
and repair, both for bridges and cul-
verts and also for the road surface
itself, is continually with us. The
effort to have a system of good roads
over a long period of years is much
more a question of maintenance than
it is anything else. Anyone can see
this who will think a minute. We
all know that it is impossible to build
a road that will last always, and it
becomes necessary to do something to
it if it is kept in good condition. This
is just where the question of mainte-
nance comes in. If it is not attended
to it will soon be gone.
A large per cent. of the millions
that have been spent in Georgia for
good roads represents nothing but
waste. We may well emulate the
rule of the railroad in this matter.
What do you suppose would become
of a railroads track and right of
way if, after having built them, it
did not set aside every year fixed
amount for their upkeep? 1t would
not be long before it would be I'M
able to send trains over it's tracks.
Unless we form the habit of taking
care of roads after we build them we
will continue to waste a considerable
part of what we spend in making
good roads.

Needs More Like Him.
From the Triton Gazette.

From the Triton Gazette.
Hon. j. R. Mercer of Dawson, who
attended the meeting of the board
of trustees of the Agricultural school,
is a builder He is regular attend
ant at the meetings of the board and
takes a great interest in agricultural
development. A few years ago he
offered a prize for the man in his sec
tion making the largest yield of corn.
The man who won first prize had a
yield of forty bushels to the acre.
Every year Mr., Mercer renewed his
offer and eight years later the man
who won first prize did so with a
yield of 161 bushels to the acre. An
increase of four-fold in twice as
many years indicates the far-reaching
good results attending Mr.. Mercer
efforts. Recently he has been encour-
aging wheat raising, not with the
view of making wheat money crop,
but in order that the South Georgia
farmer may raise what he eats at
home. Our state needs more men
like Mr. Mercer.

One or Two Sessions a Day?

From the Marietta News.
Elsewhere we give a clipping from
the Dawson News relative to the two
term a day method of teaching. Our
opinion is that the relative value Of
the two systems depends largely on
the child. Country children whose
time is generally imitde anyway
should have two terms day. 1t is nOl
trying on their strong bodies to do so.
City children who go to school far
more regularly and constantly may
do as well with one term, especially
those whose parents are sufficiently
educated to assist them in preparing
their lessons. To the child who has
little help at home the two-term a
day is better, if the teacher gives him
the personal attention he ought to
have The trouble is that there are
always some of both classes in our
schools, and it is difficult to fit the
system to suit both.

"The Aviation Section.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The Washington government is re-
ported to be working two aeroplane
factories to their capacity preparing
an aerial fleet, and the passage Of the
Hay bill by the house-With no OPP
position expected in the senate
provides official sanction.
We read that sixty commissioned
officers and 260 enlisted men will be
enrolled for the new aviation sec
ton" of our military force. 1t is es'
timated that the service will cost foG
the first year $25S,000; 100000 the
second year, and $279 1874 for future
years. The cost will doubtless be
greater, but the experiment would
seem to be well worth while. Avia-
ton is sufficiently far advanced TO-
ward perfection to be of great ser
vice in war. While we have delayed
in this particular, military areOnaut-
les have been steadily developed by
European governments for several
years past. Even from Mexico the
scouting exploits of nephew of Car
rama have been reported.

and its fruit.

There Are No Days Like
Those Spent in Its Shade.
The Old Apple Tree

no days like the days under an old
apple tree. Every bird of the field
comes to it sooner or later. Perhaps
a humming bird once built on the top
of a limb, and the marks of the old
nest are still there. Strange insects
are in its knots and wrinkles. The
shades are very deep and cool under
it. The sweet smells Of spring are
sweetest there. And the mystery of
a fruit that comes out of a blossom
is beyond all reckoning. the magic
growing week by week until the
green young balls show themselves
gladly among the leaves-the leaves
that hold the tang of summer in
them. And who has not watched for
the first red that comes on the side
| that hangs toward the sun, and wait
ed for the first fruit that was soft
enough to yield to the thumb! Verify,
the old apple tree carries all the
memories of the years.

More than anything else right now
Georgia needs a good, soil-soaking
rain. Reports from all over the state
are that lack of moisture has set the
crops back considerably and that the
outlook for bumper crops is very poor
unless they have more moisture
quickly. At this writing the farmers
of the immediate section have not
had a season in eight weeks, and the
truck farms and gardens have been
literally burned up. Cotton is the
only thing that does not seem to have
suffered.

ment roll the neat sum of $312,OOO,-
coo. A couple of months ago they

and failed to make a return. Now
the tax collectors are after him, and
if he can escape a tax collector he
will indeed be a wonder.

Unique Advertising.

Georgia will be advertised to the
world in a very unique manner this
month. Realizing the effectiveness
of publicity gained through the adj
vertising men of America the Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce is arrang-
ing for a display of photographs
showing the choicest views of Georgia
scenery and illustrating the resources
and possibilities of the states agri-
culture and industries on the walls
of the convention hall in which the
tenth annual convention of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of America
will be held in Toronto, Canada, June
21st to 25th. Also a souvenir sample
of Georgia pecans wrapped in paper
bearing the advertisement of the town
or county which grew them, or of
the commercial organization which
sent them, will be given each dele
gate.
Every commercial organization or
reputable business concern in GeOr-
gia having very fine photographs of
pulling advertising value for the
state, or souvenir products, is in
Vited by the State Chamber of Com
merce to send them at once to St.
Elmo Massengale, Atlanta, who has
charge of the display.
The value of this advertising to
Georgia is realized by those who
know that the Associated Advertising
Clubs of America represent the
brightest and most progressive
thought of the business world. 1t is
expected that there will be an at
tendance of 10000 people at the
convention.
One of the features of the conven-
ton will be an old-time pit-cooked
barbecue, to prepare which negro
professional barbecue cook and four
or FIVE negro assistants who are ia
nous buck and wing dancers will be
taken to Toronto by the Atlanta AC
Mems club, giving gasIrohoLhl'
treat and dancing exhibition entirely
new to most of those who attend the
convention. To the convention il
Boston three years ago the Georgia
Ad Men took a carload of Georgia rat
tlesnake watermelons and entertained
5000 guests at a watermelon cuttin'
in historic Copley Square, securing
an unusual advertisement for -Georgi
in that spot sacred to Bostonians.
The officers of the Georgia Cham
Der Of Commerce state their belle
that much attention will be attracte
to Georgia as a most favorable lOca
ton for hog and cattle raising and nj
and fruit growing, and that a larg
number Of people will move to Geo.
gia from the less hospitable Canada
lands to engage in these enterprise
and that a number of small manufa
turing industries will come to Geo
ga as the direct result of the pu
hcity gained for the state by tn
