QUIZ
Concluded Thursday.

! O. What does Shenandoah mean? l.. A. H
A. It's English translation is Daughter of
the Stars. The valley which bears this name
is famous in American history as battle
ground oof the French and Indian wars; as
point from which Daniel Morgan conducted
operations against the British in the Revolu-
ton; and later as highly strategic territory
in the Civil war. One town in the valley
Winchester-is said to have changed hands
seventy-two times during the Civil war.
@. What is the meaning of the term dog
days? J. F. K
A Dog days comprise the hot, sultry sea-
son of summer during parts of July and
August, so-called from the fact that the ris-
ing of the dog star, Sirius, the brightest star
in the heavens, is coincident with the rising
of the sun. The ancients thought this con-
junction caused the intense heat of summer,
and the maladies which then prevailed, hence
the popular supposition that dogs are spe
cially liable to go mad at this season? 1t
was by mere accident that the rising of the
star conceded with the hottest season of the
year, in the times and countries of the
astronomers It's rising depends the lat
itude of the place, and is later and later
every year in all ATTITUDES, owing to preces-
sion. In time the star may rise in the dead
of winter. Obviously, there is variation in
the limits of the dog days, although ey
are usually counted from July 2 to August
IL, that is, twenty days before and twenty
days after the rising in unison of the dog
star and the sun. The date given by Roger
Lang as the beginning of dog days IL abo;.t
1855 A. d. is July IA.
@. Who discovered that finger prints had
individuality? F. r. B.
A. Taking of finger prints is known to
have been Lracticed in the east at a very
early period when thumb prints were
monarch's sign-manuaL The permanent char
acter Of thumb prints first put forward
scientifically in 1923 by J. E. Purkinje, a
professor of physiology, who read a paper
before the University of Breslau advocating
system of classification. His work was taken
up by Bewck, an English craftsman, who
made a number of impressions, and later by
Sir Francis Gallon and Sir William Herschel.
c. Who was the first singer to sing
Home, Sweet Homer" D. K C.

DESTINY'S CHILD

What has gone before.-Courtney
Harrington induces Lorry Grenv1lle to
marry him just after she had discovered
that Tom Ransome, the man she really
loves, is unworthy. Lorry does not
love her husband, and his love for her
is so intense that it frightens her. After
her marriage she still yearns over Tom,
and the knowledge that she is to be-
come mother fills her with rebellion AS
the time passes, Courtneys vitality
seems to sap her strength and the doc
tor orders her away to the sea. She re-
turns after a long separation from
Courtney, and on the night her baby is
born, screams out her fear of her hus-
band in her delirium.-Now go on with
the story.

VOICES FROM THE DEAD PAST

NOlCES FfOM IHE DEAD IAOI
TN searching for some manuscript addresses
(that defied my search) came across an
extra of the Augusta Constituencies
bearing date of May 20, 1850, and containing
letters of Hon. A. H. Stephens, Herschel v.
johnson and E. A. Nisbet On the political
issues of the day; also w. L. Yancey's cele-
brated Scarlet Letter" This last document
was penned in Montgomery Ala, on June
Is, 1858.
The year 1850 was fateful one; and the
national Democratic convention which as
sembled in Charleston, S. c., was "done and
over with" when these letters of stephens,
Johnson and Nisbet were given to the news
paper in Augusta for publication.
The letter of A. H. Stephens appears first
written in Crawfordville, on May 9, 1860.
The letter of Governor johnson was dated
May 10, 1850 The Nisbet letter bears date
of May 8, of same year.
The Bell and Everett ticket had also been
nominated. John Bell, senator from Ten
nessee, and Edward Everett, from Massachu-
sets, were thus commissioned.
There was no enthusiasm in the South.
Everett was a Northern Democrat, and Bell
was union man. The ''sesech" passed
them by. The Charleston convention broke
up in a row, with Democratic nominee.
Another convention was called for Balti-
more, where Herschel v. johnson was named
for Vice President and Stephen A. Douglas
for President; but this meeting had not been
held when these notable letters were penned
early in May, 1860, and which lie before me
at this writing.
1t is well to mention that John c. Breckin-
ridge was nominated at still later conven-
ton. I've forgotten his running mate.
Ben Butler, of Massachusetts,, was dele
gate to the Charleston convention.
Also William l.. Yancey, of Alabama, who
led the forces of Alabama, Mississippi and
Texas from the nominating hall in Charles
ton.
These letters are printed in small type.
They cover a full-sized page of the Augusta
paper.
1t was well understood that Stephens and
remain in the union. Yancey led the Ala
bama 'ff1re-eaters.'
The Baltimore convention nominated Doug
las and johnson, as before stated, and
finally there were three Democratic tickets
settled upon, and the Republican party
settled on Lincoln-one ticket.
When these letters were written / was
nearly twenty-five years old, the mother of
two small boys. stephen A. Douglas toured
Georgia in the midsummer of 1860. He
spoke at Kingston, then in Cass county, later
renamed Barlow. Kingston was twelve miles
from our farm home. Dr. FELTON, with other
friends drove to Kingston to listen to the
speech. Mrs. Douglas was with her distin-
guished husband on that trip. I remember
asking number of questions as to her looks,
her dress, etc. She was known everywhere
as a very handsome person.
But the nominee did not fire the South
ern heart" as I remember. "Non-interven-

Safeguarding the judiciary

THE Atlanta Bar Association, by al
most unanimou- vote, has suet-ined
the report of its grievance and execu-
tive committees on certain charges concern
ing the recent appointment of the Hon. G.
H. Howard to the judgeship of a newly-es-
tablished branch of the Fulton county SUI
perior court. The evidence adduced in the
case has been presented in the public prints
so fully that we need not here review it or
pause to argue the merits I. $ sundry in
terpretations On one point, however it is
both proper and right that we say word.
That is on the promptness, the earnest
ness, and the virtual unanimity with which
the associated members of the city's bar have
done what they conceived to be their duty in
the premises.
OF the three main provinces of service in
our system of gove.L..clt, none touches the
interests of the people at once so deeply and
with consequences so far-ranging as does the
judiciary. An executive is usually hedged
about with SO many restrictions that he can

The Graeco-Ita1;an Tension

WHETHER it's consequence be large or
M little, prolonged OF soon at an end,
The Graeco-Italian tension bids fair
to the League of Nations for disposal. that
will be precedent of high import. If it
leads to serious conflict of arms, that also
will be deeply significant, apart from mill
tary results. If by i'll hap it should prove
to be another Sarajevo, the worlds concord
and reconstruction would be doomed for
many year, if not many decade.
omens appear fair for a submission of the
case to the League. Italy, though having
seized Corfu and made other dramatic ges-
lures, is going more carefully than at first.
Occupation of the island, she announces, will
be the limit of her action to enforce the
terms of her ultimatum. She adds, as she
might not have been expected to, that the
island will be evacuated as soon as the Ath-
ems government complies with the demands
for satisfaction. Meanwhile, however, the
drastic requirements stand unmodified,
Greece responds with a protest to the Pow
ers and an appeal to the League of Ma
tions, the assembly of which is in session at
Geneva. Further than this she does not now
go, except to declare that she will defend
herself against invasion. From these circum-
stances one hardly would infer that Mars Is
yet fatefuly in the lie.
The most interesting moment should come
when the League offers a suggestion. The
nature of that suggestion and the reactions
to it will hold the seed of history.

A legislator, unless of extraordinary powers
of mind and charactc-, exerts an influence
that is relatively slight and transient. But a
judge-a judge has power over executive
orders, power over law, power over life. The
history of our republic has been formed and
colored far more by its courts than by it's
presidents or governors or legislative bodies;
and so will it continue to be as long as the
constitution remains additionally American.
Is it, then, to be wondered that every as

There was no personal animus, as we UNI
d2@stand it, against anybody concerned.
There was simply the principle that in the
selection of judge certain ethics and

so to declare. Such is it's verdict. after open
hearings, conduct d, as fer las we know, ac-
cording to rules of procedure framed with a
view to full equity. Exceedingly regrettable
it is that the incident ever should have
arisen. But it was not of the Bar As2ocia-
tons making. The one body which is sup
posed to represent the publics as well as the
professions interests saw what it took to be
an obligation, and performed it. For having
faced and fulfilled unpleasant duty it de-
serves the entire states commentator.
