THE, TIGER OF THE SEA.

Since it is generally believed that the tales
of sea serpents were nothing but inventions
the shark arouses the greatest fear in the
human mind, and yet there is another denizen
of the deep more fearsome, more dangerous
more terrible-the barracuda known as the
tiger of the sea"
A girl swimming in Tampa bay, opposite
St. Petersburg Fla. was killed few days
ago. presumably by barracuda. She was
terribly gashed by the teeth OF an unidentified
fish, and the belief of those who witnessed
the tragedy is that the attack was made by
sea tiger. One wound inflicted was IA inches
long, and there were several others on her
BODY. She died from the loss of blood and
shock.
The barracuda is a slender, agile, wiry fish
about eight inches long, and is said to be
even more wicked looking than the shark.
1t is carniverous, and destroys large numbers
of fish on which it preys. 1t will not take
still bait at all It's food must be moving in
the water, or it will not touch it. The theory
of the attack on the girl in Tampa bay is that
her swimming movements attracted the bar
racuda and it promptly attacked.
The shark is much different, having more
powerful jaws that can with stroke sever
ones arm or leg. Cases are on record where
bodies of victims have been cut in two by
sharks. Still the tiger OF the sea- is more to
be feared, according to persons familiar with
salt water fishes, for the shark is very easily
frightened Swimmers are able to scare the
shark away by violently kicking or beating
the water with the hands. The barracuda is
not so shy. The more violent the agitation in
the water the more determined he is to at
tack

BABE, RUTH'S EXIT.

The American people have kept noted
ball player, the champion batter OF all the
leagues. on high pedestal for long time,
but now Babe" Ruth has leaped out into
space and has hit the ground with crash.
He has made his exit from the stage on which
he held the spotlight for no other reason
than that he could knock more home runs
than any one else. 1t is admitted that the
public spoiled Ruth, who was well named in
the appe11ation OF Babe" However, he might
have behaved himself in an effort to merit
the adulation of the thousands who daily
watched to see what he was doing in the
realm of baseball. The grandstand lured
Ruth and ruined him. He never will be the
hero he was, even if he RECEIVERS his form
and breaks his record of last year. unless
he settles down and holds his temper in con-

he can expect the public to render sound

THE MESSAGE.

Governor Hardwick's message to the gen
eral assembly covered a variety OF subjects,
and was one of the strongest and most i'm
portant state papers ever presented to the
law-making body for their consideration.
The fiscal affairs of the state were discuss
ed at considerable length and the legislature
was urged to put the business administration
of public affairs on an intelligent and prac-
teal basis. The governor favors biennial SEES
sions of the legislature, not only as an eco
nomic measure but as an alienation OF the
annual multiplicity of new laws and amend
ments to present laws. He believes, like a
great majority of the people of Georgia that
there is too much legislation. He also favors
the Australian ballot law, urges the adoption
of state income tax in lieu of the present
ad vaorem system and asks that several Of
fees be abolished as useless"
The message contains number OF things
on which there will be general agreement,
and there are others which there will
be sharp division. He was given close atten-
ton during the delivery of his message, and
created a distinctly favorable impression.

TINKERING WITH TAXES.

The annual pastime OF revising and amend
ing the tax laws of the state has been entered
upon at Atlanta, and will be watched for the
next six weeks with apprehension on the part
of taxpayers The special legislative committee
appointed at the last session of that body to
study from all points of view the proposed
income tax and report, with recommendations,
at the present session has reported that an in
come tax as a substitute for the ad valorem
tax. or in conjunction with an ad valorem tax
would be ''inopportunc, inexpedient and unsat-
isfactory, and would only result in added bur
dens to the people of the state" The commit
tee is of the further opinion, and so recon-
mends, that ANY changes proposed at this
time in the law on the subject of taxation
should be to enact provisions for a reasonable
classification of property for purposes Of tax
alton. it being the belief OF the committee that
such a system would result in the voluntary
disclosure of large amounts OF intangible
not now on the books for taxation.
So many times has "taX reform" resulted IN
increasing taxes already authorized and the
levyng of new taxes that the public has be-
come suspicious of all movements to change
the tax laws The idea has become firmly
fixed in the public mind that all tax legsla-

REVERSING THE RULE.

A chagrined prospective bridegroom has
seen his hopes dashed by loves cruelty and
brings suit against the once would-be-brlde
for $4,000, which is a reversal OF the old
rule in breach of promise cases. Formerly 1t
was the special privilege Of the lady to sue
and, mayhaps, to collect damages for her bro
ken heart. 1t made little or no difference on
other cases how examples of quick repair had
been provided, attesting the skill of that mas
ter builder, Dan Cupid. Every case was tried
on its merits-whether it had any or not
and Jury decided. 1t usually was observed
that the plaintiff in the case wore her best
rament looked her demurest, her saddest
and her frailest. If she had any histrionic
ability at all she did these things 100 per
cent perfectly, impressed the jury and grabb-
ed the damages.
Now, a change What does it mean except
that mere man has undertaken to prove to a
woman that having taken her place beside
him at the polls, in business and elsewhere
in any and all activities, she must expect to
be sued as we'll as to have the privilege OF
suing-in a word, that everything must be
on a $3.50 basis, or close to it. Here and
there one will not care if the broken-hearted
man sues her, but the majority could be
expected to escape the notoriety that accom-
panies such an action in litigation. If a wo-
man becomes known as a breaker of hearts
and engagements other men might not pro-
pose so readily, which would force upon her
the necessity of proposing. And while that
might appeal to some as fit situation to
accompany the swift rush onward OF a new
condition of life there would be some who
never would pop the question. Discretion
then, would have to be learned by the wo-
man, which would consist of never saying
yes to the man unless she could abide by
that answer, at least to the altar.
The most recent broken hearted bride
groom to sue is reported to be worth some

Hot Weather Clothes.
From the Moultrie Observer.

The men are still wearing coats, and gen
orally wearing clothing made of WOOL They
are foaming at the mouth because the wo-
men are so careless in their dress Those
wicked things wear cotton and very little of
it. Man sits up with high collar, and wool
necktie, suit of underwear, shirt with long,
cose-htting sleeves and coat and pants Of
wool and fuses about the weather-and about
the women not wearing enough clothing.
The manufacturers of mems clothing are on
their side. They see to it that styles do not
change. Women can wear 'em shorter and
thinner, but men must stick to the old stuff.
Even the efforts to get away from the old
summer uniforms and put on white suits and
cotton shoes is resisted by manufacturers and
retailers. Go into a store to buy something
for hot day and you are impressed with the
thought that those who made the clothes Of
today were not looking for hot weather. There
are a few light weights, but they mostly
OF wool, or they are of some distressingly
gloomy color.
There is nothing nifty and new, light and
COOL like the crazy women wear. Man is too
sensible to wear comfortable clothing. He
sticks to his collar and choke rag, his dark
coat and pants and his perspiraton.
He's happy soul, and his heart goes out
to the silly women in thin muslin, low necks,
waists with no sleeves.

Flivver Flying Flappers.

Flppant fappers flying around in fivvers
constitute one OF the prominent manifestations
of life in the small towns of America now
adays Our memory reaches back to a time
not SO long ago, either-when Aapperage girls
who could drive even a middling spirited pair
OF horses were comparatively few We do
not bewail the fact that our younger sisters
are SO much less dependent and so much
more aggressive than were the soft-spoken,
long skirted, quck-fainting danes OF a short
generation back. But we can't get used to the
complacent self-indulgence, the cynicism. the
utter egosm that is characteristic apparently,
OF so many modern females between the
ages OF eighteen and thirty. No; we do not
pine for the girl OF yesterday, Nor do we
yearn for the girl of tomorrow to be a replica
OF today's physically charming but mentally,
morally and spiritually puzzling young wo-
man.

Stepping Along.

Strolling one day through a stone walled lane
Where the fragrant crabapple blows
And the wandering ivy pay their court
To the willfu sweet wild rose,
A little lad | happened to meet
AS to school he trudged his way,
And | asked how far he had to walk
For his lessons every day.
ITS four miles over and four miles back"
'But doesn't the way seem long?"
"Oh" he answered me with a ready smile,
Il just keep stepping along"
He just kept stepping along
When he grows to be a man
I'll wager he'll make a success of life
If he follows the same old plan;
For whatever of trial or grief fate sends,
Whatever the bitter wrong,
There's an end, you'll find,
To the hardest grind
If you just keep stepping along.

Up to The Legislature.
From the Cordele DISPATCH

The committee appointed by Governor
Hardwick has made sensible finding with
regard to conditions at the state prison farm.
We can believe very easily with most other
Georgans that the trouble at the state prison
farm lies largely with the legislature. The in
vestigating commission has conferred upon the
real truth
Now, we would be delighted if the mem
bers OF the legislature could take that finding
in the spirit which should be manifested by
public servants, and really do something with
it. Most people who have any knowledge of
affairs at the prison farm have understood
that the lack of funds was great handicap.

Congress as a Mirror.

Minneapolis Journal: Congress is a mirror
OF the American people. 1t combines reason
with demagoguery, sehshness with generos-
ity the practical with the impractical, and
work with just mere talk. If one wants a
truly representative impression of the Amer
lean people there is no better place to seek it
than in congress. Yet good share of the
public is always dissatisfied with congress To
hear the grumbles and complaints about the
peoples representatives in Washington is
common enough But to see citizens working
to reform that body is rare indeed. Here in
Minneapolis, for instance, only about so per
cent of the voters have shown any interest

resent them in the senate and house

There is no use pretending you know what
this word means You don't The word, if
you ever get it spelled right, is "Dimenthyl-

California, didn't know what it meant either,
till the other day when he saw it on the

ator Willis, OF Ohio, if he knew, and Sena-
tor Willis said he did. He pointed to a spot

CURRENT COMMENT.

Salt Lake Tribune: Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, having robbed death of its terrors by
affirming that it contemplates nothing more
appalling than transition from one dwelling
place to another, now proceeds to rob hell OF
its horrors by picturing it as sort OF hos
ptal where the sinner willy-nilly, will be
soothed into a state OF goodness permitting
him to mix with the more godly hosts with
eyebrows. Finally, Sir Arthur tells the world
that the lover Of ardent spirits will not be
denied chance to sake his thirst at least
not at the beginning Of his etheric existence.
By degrees he will be weaned from the cup.
The Transformation will require more or less
indefinite period, if there are periods in in
fnity, but Sir Arthur says it will be accom-
plished Doctor Doyles present visit has at
least given the American people something to
think about, not the least being the tact that
Sir Arthurs remarkable gift of romancing
was not exhausted when he gave the world
his Sherlock Holmes series.

Spectacular Peace Time Panoply.

American illustrated papers must sometimes
feel alarmed at the frequency of pictures of
preparedness wherein bank clerks both men

ling with the muzzles of "automatics," and
There is something novel and spectacular

same time, such aggressive demonstrations of
mistrust toward the public are not exactly
agreeable. Perhaps the idea back of these de-
tense works is that revolvers and armour
plating will make for safety But said Poor
