They Saved Something Out or So

During Brusilolr's drive through
Galicin, thousand jews, in a stntc
OF abjcct poverty-raggcd, filthy,
starved, and utterly h.wilderedD
were torn mt II moments notice from
their homes in the Galician plnins
and set down in the heart of the pri-
meval forests of Sibcrn not far from
the Arctic Circlc--vagucly charged by
the Russian government with espion-
age and revolutionary activities. They
were diseased, incredibly ignorant,
md weak with hunger, writes For
tier Zones in the Century Magazine.
They existed aimlcssly in the forest;
but, curious to say, they were not
hopeless. The Russian government al
lowed them something like three dol
lars n ycnr to house, clothe and feed
themselves. Out of this all of them
saved something each month against
the day when they would be allowed
to live in the world again. To do this
they lived twenty in small cabin,
and subsistcd entirely on fish and
wild fowl.
This strange cOmmunity--including
as it did thieves, rascals and cut
throats- was governed, and well
governed, by n weak, understood in

GEO. HARRISON
dies OF POISON
Democratic Candidate For Sher.
if Expires in Bluefeld Hos
pital After Brief Illness.
Brother May File Name.

Geo. w. Harrison, of Abb's Valley.
son of Mrs. w. Il. Harrison, and cam
didate for sheriff of this county, died
in Bluefield sanitarium on Wcdnes-
day morning, from blood poison. The
funeral and burial took place on yes
terday, from his mothers home in
Abb's Valley. He was about 28 years
of age, and unmarried.
On last Monday week he was
butchering beef in Pocahontns
where he has regular contract to
furnish beef, when an iron hook
caught one of his fingers, producing
n slight, and apparently insignifi-
cant wound, to which he paid little
or no attention, and went about his
home work. However, trouble devel-
oped later, and on Friday following
he went to Bluefield for treatment.
After operations and heroic efforts to
save his life, he died on Wednesday
morning of this week, as above stat
ed.
He was popular and worthy young
man of sterling character and un-
doubted integrity. He was sterling
Democrat, and Il prominent candi-
date for the office of Sheriff of the
county, and his election was conf
IDENTIFY predicted by his friends.
Besides n mother he leaves two
brothers and several sisters, who
have the sympathy of large circle
of friends.
Dead Mans Brother May BE n Candi-
date for Sheriff.
The rumor is current, founded upon
what seems good authority, that Mr..
Rufus Harrison will take the place ms
candidate for Sheriff, made vacant
by the death of his brother. Rufus
Harrison is n popular and strong
man, and it is said by his friends and
all who know him that he will make
strong candidate in the rnce.

COMMON SENSE IN STUDENTS.

Columbia University professors are
going to find out in advance whether a
student has common sense.
It's a splendi didea, if only the test
amounts to anything. That is the
trouble with virtually all "examin-
ers;" their tests are not efficient. A
professor will spend week preparing
an examination which a student is
supposed to pass in few hours, when
as likely as not the professor himself
couldn't have passed the test had he
not spent a week preparing it. Any
man ought to be able to work out a
set of questions that even a college
professor couldn't make 10 per cent
grade in answering.
We are greatly impressed with tst
common seIrse Of tne professors who
propose to find out whether other peo-
pie have it. One Of them says that
one test will be "to tell at a glance
how many small boxes are inside a
larger one," and adds tina tthe OF ject
is to show chow constructive magma
ton manipulates concrete visual i'm
agery." We'd hate to have our "cOm-
mon sense" rated by a professor who
used such language in stating a sim
pie proposition.-Columbus Dispatch

GO ON A SALARY BASIS.
New Statute Adopted by the Legisla-
ture in 1918.

The fee system for county officers
in Mississippi goes out of existence on
the first Monday in January, when
new officers are to be sworn IN Tor a
four-year period. =,
The legislative act abolishing the
fee system was passed at the 1918
session, to be made effective on Janu-
ary 1st, 1920. 1t applies especially to
circuit clerks, chancery clerks, sherltfs
and tax collectors, the various eoun-
ties being graded according to popuia,-
tion and assessed valuation, and a sal
ary basis fixed accordingly.
In connection with the new law, 1t
is an interesting fact that during the
recent State primary there were scores
of candidates in the field for county
Offices who did not know that the fee
system is due to be abolished, and
some of them made lavish campaign
expenditures under the impression
that they were after fat offices.
A singular feature of the new law
and which no doubt will be repealed at
the 1920 sessions clause proVidlnt
that all deputies and assistants must
he qualified electors. This deprives
scores of women and girls Of clerk
ships in county offices. However, IN
view of the fact that ratification OF
the Federal amendment conferrlng
suffrage on women will be one OF the
live questions at the January session
the disqualification of women for dep
utyships is not likely to stand.-Yazoo
