The other fellow is too much
concerned about his troubles to
care to hear yours. Shut up.
From Washington comes the
announcement that Robert Lan
sing will be secretary of state to
succeed W. J. Brvan. Mr. Lansing's
selection will be a popu
lar one, as he is well fitted for
the duties of this great office.
Horses and mules need water
more than three times a day
when they are at work in the
field or on the road these long,
hot days. Very few men work
half a day without water, and
horses should not be required to
do so. They should be unhitched
and carried to water at least
once between morning and
noon, and between noon and
night. The horse, or mule, is a
very faithful animal and a very
necessary one. The man who
mistreats him will have to
answer for it before the Judge of
all the earth. Do not overwork
him or get him too hot, a thing
very easy to do at th-s season.
Do not feed much new oats or
other green feed and expect
your horse to work and thrive.
Your horse is one of vour best
friends. Treat him as one.

The death sentence of Leo M.
*? Frank for the murder of-Mary
Phagan in a pencil factory in
Atlanta about two years ago
was commuted to life imprisonment
by Governor Slaton Monday
and Frank was taken at
once to the state prison at Milledgeville
where he began serving
his sentence. When the
news was given out there were
demonstrations in the streets of
Atlanta against the governor
and the police had a hard time
in dispersing the mobs. Mon/tn..
? '
via^ niKiii several nunarea men
marched out to the home of
Governor Slaton and attempted
to break through the front gates,
but were checked by barbed
wire entanglements and a dozen
or more armed deputies. The
governor then called out the
state malitia to protect him from
the mob. Martial law was proclaimed
in a district half a mile
by one mile about the home of
the governor and the malitiamen
were stationed with bayonets
The crowd gradually dispersed.
In Marietta, the former home
of the murdered girl, and in
Newnan the governor was
burned in effigy. In Newnan
images of the governor and
Frank were hanged, and later

dragged blazing through the
streets.
Frank had exhausted every
other means of escape from his
sentence open to him.
Solicitor General Dorsey, who
prosecuted Frank, issued a
statement in which he declared
that 'the action of Gov. Slaton
nullifying the judgements of the
State and federal courts and
overriding the recommendations
of the State board of pardons
was unprecedented." He added
that no defendant in his recollection
had had the benefit of
more appeals to both the State
and federal courts.
Where They Agreed
The elderly, benevolent-lookins:
gentleman approached the
man and his wife who were
quarreling bitterly.
"My dear friend," he said,
"this won't do at all, you know."
"What have you got to do
with it?" snarled the man.
"Nothing at all, except so far
as I can help in settling this
dispute,"
"There ain't no dispute,"
growled the belligerent.
"No dispute? But my dear
friend??"
"I tell you there ain't no dispute.
She thinks she ain't going
to get my week's wages, and I
know she ain't. So wher's any

Took Away His Support
"Johnn}!" exclaimed the
teacher sternly. "What are vou
fumbling with?"
Johnny hung his head and was
silent but the telltale of the class
piped up:
"It's a pin he's got, teacher."
"Well, take it from him and
bring it to me."
This was done, and in a mollified
tone the teacher said:
"Now, Johnny, get up and
recite your history lesson."
But lohnny blushed, hung his
head and sat still.
"Johnny," commanded the
teacher, "rise, L tell you!"
"I can't, ma'ma," wept Johnny;
"that there pin you took is what
holds up me trousers "

Mayor J. E. Thomas has recently
imposed a thirty-day sen- i

ordered the high chief to see i
that all dogs are kept tied or

streets for the next thirty-days
or longer.
This is done as a precaution
against the mad-dog epidemic
that has been raging in and
around Jefferson for the past
few weeks. The dogs from

sight, but at the same time, they
will be looked after and treated
as city dogs while here, and the

freight revenues
Some of the
i states have a two cent passenger rate
a and whatever loss is incurred Is recovt
ered through freight revenue. The jus
g tice of such a procedure was recently
a passed upon by the Supreme Court
y of West Virginia and the decision is
a so far-reaching that we have asked
L. E. Johnson, president of the Nory
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
a the suit. Mr. Johnson said in part:
t, "Some ten years ago, passenger
1. fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number of states at two
r cents a mile. As a basis for such
e economic legislation, no examination
i was made of the cost of doing the
i business so regulated, nor was any
V attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the railway
companies an adequate or any
net return upon* the capital Invested
1 in conducting this class of business.
1 "Such a law was passed In West
> Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
e Western Railway Company put the
3 rate into effect and maintained it for
3 two years. Its accounting during
? these two years showed that two
* cents a mile per passenger barely
3 paid the out-of-pocket cost and noth1
ing was left to pay any return on
r capital invested. It sought relief from

Passenger Rates
f both the State and the Railway Com3
pany testified that the claims of the
i railroad were sustained by the facts.
j Two cents did not pay the cost of
- carrying a passenger a mile. The
r State, however, contended that the
i railroad -was earning enough surplus
- on its state freight business to give a
> fair return upon the capital used in
? its passenger as well as its freight
3 business. .For the purposes of the
? case, the railroad did not deny this,
s but held to its contention that the
- State could not segregate its pas3
senger business for rate fixing with.
out allowing a rate that would bo
i sufficient to pay the cost of doing
s business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing tho business regulated. This
' was the Issue presented to the Supreme
Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentlmant of the country. The Supreme
Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a particular
commodity by charging rea
ouuauie raius, mat anords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belonga to the railway company.
If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
(formless than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
(rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged bb a reason for compelling
him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. It would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim

Hail Insurance in Strong Company.
The Home Fire Insurance
company, of .New York, the
strongest company of the kind
in the country has added a line
of hail insurance for crops to
their business and the Pageland
Insurance and Realty Company
has the agency for this company.
Hail insurance heretofore has
not been very satisfactory
for the reason that only small
or local companies carried it,
and in case of general destruction
the company could not
pay the damage and remain in
bssiness. This strong company,
with millions capital, can pay
for all the damage that is likely
to occur in several states, however,
