Hubbard Bros. $ Co.'S Letter

New York, October 9.-Athough cables were lower than expected this morning. our market opened about last night s close on further short covering. The south immediately turned a free seller, causing sharp break, the market again rallying when the pressure was removed, only to sell off again on renewed selling from the same source. During the past few days the southern planter has been d steady seller, showing that not only is the crop beginning now to move heavily. but also that these prices are sufficiently attrac- tive to warrant the growers to realize their profits. It is generally admitted that the crop this year is relatively short,

WIFE NOT EXCITED

I was standing on the fieldf beneath him with his charming young wife and she wasn't in the least bit excited for she seemed to have implicit faith in Omer's ability to hang on. Before went up noticed her in the press box sitting with Mrs. Elliot, Mifton's moth CT, and his sister, Cornelia, but soon she came out and joined the Elliot brothers, where she could be closer and get to wave at him. I said to her, when Ruth Law used to be up in the air, her hus- band was as nervous as he could be but now I am standing with you while your husband is aloft and you are taking it as matter of fact.
 But on with my story. Fearless Tinney had made a beautiful leap clear ing the machine and was falling &ly toward the earth as thousands of eyes were upon him, for Locklear's act was over and he was on the ground. When about 2000 feet over the center of the field just opposite the grandstand he seemed to hang motionless for awhile when sudden gust of wind struck him and sent him whirling northeast,

AVIATOR MAKES DESPERATE FIGHT FOR LIFE IN MIDAIR
 AT THE FAIRGROUNDS
While Changing Seats O'Sul- livan Loses Control of His Plane, Which Plunges
 Earthward 2000 Feet.
By FRANK WILLIS BARNETT

I know it sounds like press agent stuff and l hesitate to write it, but nearly hundred thousand people were looking up into the western sky per- fectly unconscious that a man was fighting desperately for his life
 Talk about thrills, they were to be had at the fair on Thursday afternoon, the only trouble being that they were happening as fast as acts in a three ring circus and it was beyond the power of any one to keep up with them
 I hope that before the next season rolls around that the directors will see to it that President Brown and Secre- tary Dent do not book every big outdoor attraction in America for, this years programme has simply made the heads of the fair goers dizzy trying to keep up with them.
 The racing itself was enough to draw q crowd large enough to fill the grand stand for some of the best horses in the country were being driven for all they were worth to win the stakes and yet for all the attention they got they might as well have been competing in Kamskatska or some other far away cline. Some of the big events were just switched in between the amuse- ment acts

ECCE GUAM BONUM

By Dr.. Frank Crane

How difficult it is, Just to get along with
people!
Every one of us is such bundle of sensi$
tiveness, with many sharp corners OF pre-
JUDGE and opinion, such clamorous and UNI
disciplined desires and headstrong tastes
that it is wonder we can live together at
all.
Honestly now, is there any human being
in all the world, with whom you have had
any degree of intimacy, and with whom you
have not at times Jared and tangled?
Even love cannot remove all the little
repellancies nor can the utmost loyalty OBJ
viate the many NIL hurts and scratches that
two souls must needs inflict upon each other.
There is no mortal man nor woman with
whom you do not have to exercise a certain
self-restraint, if your intercourse is to be
peaceful.
Brothers and sisters clash, parents and
children have their clouds of misunderstand-
ing, husband and wife must continually be
on their guard against the ever-recuriing
points of anger and difference, and how often
are you out of patience with your best friend!
With how few can you indulge in perfect
se1f-expression, be glad or mad gay or
gloomy, as your mood may be, and know
that you are so we'll understood and so loyal
ly loved that no offense will be taken!
Of course, cultured folk do not use loud
language nor come to blows, but my lord and
lady have many real soul-clashes as the
cab-driver and his wife, who strike and
| scream.
I do not wonder at war. I wonder that
mankind is ever at peace. The mischief
makers are so numerous misunderstanding is
so cheap and easy, and we all lend so willing
an ear to hates and Sights and plots that
any peace at all which lasts a decade is
triumph of civilization. Have you not no
tlced that peace is never popular, while the
call to rouses nation quickly and
strangely unifies people? When the slogan
was to fight Germany the whole pack of us
note among us; but when it came to making
peace straightway We fell into bitterest con-
| tention #" t+"E "E'@
1oil "Of how many dwellings," writes George
Chasing, "can it be said that no word of
anger is ever heard beneath it's roof and that
no unlzindly feeling ever exists between the
| inmates? Most mems experience would
seem to Justify them in declaring that,
| throughout the inhabitated world, no such
house exists. I, knowing at all events of one,
admit the possibility that there may be more
yet feel that it is to hazard a conjecture I
cannot point with certainty to any other in
stance nor in all my secular life (I speak as
one who has quilted the world) could have
named a single example"
This is not bitterness. Indeed, it seems to
rae that, cantankerous as we are by nature,
the marvel is that we get along with one
another and have such long and happy
stretches of love and comradeship as we do
| Well and heartily let us sing: "Ecce guam
! bonum quamque jucundum habitare fratres
| in unum!" Behold how good and how pleas
ant thing it is for brethren to dwell to-
gether in unity!

Highways Marching On.

Georgia counties go marchin-, on to I'M
proved highways. A week hardly passes
without an election in favor of bonds In
the present week no less than four counties
have voted a total of thirteen hundred
thousand dollars to be expended in highway
construction Two other counties will hold
elections in the next few days.
Jackson county on Tuesday voted one hun
dred thousand dollars. Spalding county voteo
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Rerrien county voted five hundred thousand
dollars. Glynn county voted three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
These four elections were held ON the
same day. In each of these counties the ma
iority for bonds was overwhelming. In tue
next few days the counties Of Banks and
Franklin will hold bond elections.
Seventeen Georgia counties in the past
few months have voted total Of five million
nine hundred and ninety-fve thousand dol
lars to build highways The movement thus
launched with such enthusiasm is steadlly
growing Counties everywhere are 1mblp-
ing the spirit from their neighbors and mold
ing elections in a regular epidemic. The
movement bid fair to sweep the state from
the mountains to the sea.
Taking the bonds already voted and add
ing the share of Federal funds allotted to
Georgia gives total of thirteen million
three hundred and nlnety-seVen tnousand
dollars to be expended in highway construc-

be added, in all probability, several millions
more in the bond issues now being tormulat-
ed for subnissio to the voters OF various
counties
Never has there been such an impulse OF
progress in any public line this tidal
wave of highway enthusiasm sweeping over
the state 1t shows that the people have set
their minds to a great program which they
propose to get underway without delay. 1t
shows that 'ong "ears of highway agitation
is bearing fruit in overwhelming measure.
The people of Georgia have made up their
minds that they are going to ride and maui
their products on modern highways built to
stand up in all kinds of weather. They have
have got the money to build the sort OF
roads required for travel in ease and COM
fort.
With such a splendid willingness on the
part of the counties to do their part in build
ing local roads, surely the Legislators can
not delay the launching of state program
on a. scale commensurate with present needs
and future development The forthcoming
session should not go by without the passage
of broadgauged legislation removing all Con-
stitutional obstacles and laying the founda-
ton for great and enduring and expanding
structure of state highways.
Georgia is rich in wealth and resources.
Georgia counties are leading the way with
generous expenditures Every line OF prog
ress waits on highways. What the counties
build will not be enough without State sys-
TEN linking all counties in a vast network
The State can we'll afford, financially speak
ing, highway bond issue running into many
millions The people are ready. The time
is ripe Surely the Legisi .ture will lose no
time Immediately on converting.

IMPROVING THE GOVERNMENT JOB"-By Frederic j. Haskin

of so-called clerical work. Girls with high
school or college diplomas take the clerical
examination and are put to work sealing en-
velopes Or sorting cards.
At the upper end of the scale, there is,
the opinion of many, room for improvement.
The high official is usually appointed to
office without the embarrassment of being
asked where Kamschatka is, or to describe
briefly the administration Of each president
of the United States On general matters Of
this sort his knowledge is very properly
taken for granted, but most people think ae
might be asked to state his education ana
his experience, and possibly to write a short
essay on the subject of the work he is to
carry on. This informal test of his ability,
they claim, would not be any strain on the
competent applicant and 1t might save us
from heads of bureaus who have to be taught
the business from the ground up by assist
ants, who remain assistants.
A reform which will be fastened by the
Redistribution of positions is the provision
of pensions for old civil employees. The CONF
missions work in the interests Of efficiency
will find stumbling block in the superan-
nuated persons in the government services
These old men and women, many of whom
are Civil war veterans, and Civil war nurses,
can not be cast out into the world without
porvision for their support. They are kept
on the rolls as long as they can get to and
from the office. Now if ability and efficiency
are to be standardized, they can scarcely be
left out of the scheme, and the one solution
is the long-talked-of government pension or
government insurance for civil employees.

In response to the Presidents call for an
extra session of Congress, Senator Hoke
Smith has returned to Washington after a
two months sojourn amongst his constitu-
ents Reports from every part of the State
are to the effect that he received cordial
welcome wherever he went to meet the peo-
pie, to ascertain their views on issues of pub
lie moment, and to give an informal account
of his stewardship.
This was the Senior Senator's first home
visit of any duration in seven and half
years. Since he entered the Senate, Congress
has been almost continuously in session, and
his own labors therein have been arduous and
responsible. AS chairman Of the committee
on education and labor, he has had to deal
with problems and opportunities of widest
import to the nations wellbelng-such prob
lens as the rehabilitation of disabled SOL
1iers and the Americanizing of the millions
of aliens amongst us; such opportunities as
the mastering of great Federal resources to
the task of banishing illiteracy, the establish
ment of special schools for vocational train
ing, and the extension of practical education
to every farm and household in the rural dis
tricts Senator Smith has been also lead
ing member of the Senate committee on
finance which had to do with questions of
critical concern both before and after our en-
trance into the world conflict. In the midst
Of the war, moreover, he was placed IN the
vitality important committee on military at
fairs where he did much to reconcile OBJ
structive differences of opinion and to expe-
dite essential Administration measures.
Besides discharging the duties of these and
divers other responsible posts, the Senior
Senator has looked vigilantly after the home
interests of his constituents. Witness his
resolute and successful efforts to secure a
Federal Reserve Bank for Georgia; his eff
fective work in company with Georgias able
Congressman, on the notable enterprise of
locating Souther Field at Americas and
Camp Benning at Columbus; his diligent in
terest in the ports of Savannah and Bruins
wick. the due development of which concerns
the material progress of the entire common
wealth for all time to come; his work in be-
half Of fair prices and open markets for cot
ton; his watchfulness of Georgia's rights in
the matter of national good-roads legislation,
and his continual seeking of opportunities
to conserve and promote her prosperity.
With so fruitful a record of service it was
but natural that Senator Smith should be
cordially received in the various parts of the
State which he visited on his first vacation
in sevel- and half years. He returns to
Washington for session of Congress in
which the influence of stanch democrats and
true liberals will be especially needed to con-
summate those principles of world democracy
and enduring peace for which the President
is so earnestly laboring. He goes back to
Washington with his constituents hearty
good-wishes, we feel sure for his continued
usefulness.
