Disgusting Toadyism. !
President Elect Taft, who even 1
in the eyes of certain of his
natural politics*! enemies, Southern' '
Democrats, has been discovered .
actually to possess more qualities t
of statesmanship and broad-minded
patriotism than poor old Brvan 1
ever dared even to claim, is now *
disporting his elephantine propor-!*

gusta's swell tonrist hotel, to the j
^yreat edificatiol of tire natives' [
literally starving for a crumb of'
jiotioe or condescending patronage
from the great and magnificent j ^
pemnage now in their midst. | ^
But however fantastic the capers c
cut by the hospitable and ubse-; j
quious Georgians, it remains for t
Birmingham, Alabama, through j
their committee inviting His ?
Highness to honor that paiadisaic j
community with his corporeal p
presence, to make itself a spectacle p
that excites ridicule and derision t
among decent and self-respecting
Democrats of the Sooth.

ponents of the rock-ribbed prin- fi
ciples of Jeffersonian and Bryan T
Democracy, General Rufus N t<
Rhodes, editor of the Binning-u
ham News, whose paper three: t]
months ago was no doubt shouting C(
aloud perfefvid panegyrics on the S(
.peerless Nebraskan: "Judge Taft,;'j
'(swallowing hard and voice trembling
with ill concealed emotion) ,H
UI am going to take advantage!
of this opportunity to say to you; sl
that if you knew the heart and P
head cf the men of the South,,
and particularly of Birmingham,
you would know that they regard p
the result of the last election as e
i r
a benediction from God Almighty ^
Himself to the people of the
t
South over their own protest.
I am a Democrat myself * * " ii
Then follows more hypocritical n
O
protestation ad nauseam. The =
"General" might have completed
the last sentence of the quoted- r
excerpt something like this: "I I a
am a Democrat myself, but I am ^
* r
heartily ashamed of the fact, and
I would cheerfully and willingly s
accept a minor position in the,
consular service or even a fourth- e

General Rhodes should modify!
the order. He not only does not
represent the "men of the South,' :
but merelv the hungry horde of
camp-followers always to be found j
in the wake of a victorious army, j

Whose Business Is It?
In his interesting account of
the proceedings of the teachers' !
meeting held in Columbia last
week our correspondent reports!
Senator Tillman as saying in substance
(referring to the Clemson
ind Winthrop trusteeships) that!
we have a Legislature, a Govern-1
>r and other executive officers and!
f it be true that he is violating;
:he law it is tneir duty to proceed
against him in the matter.
We fully agree with Senator
rillman in the view he takes on
this phase of the subject. Some
executive officer or officers have
been derelict in their duty to
wink at so flagrant and open a
notation of the State constitution
ill these years, and it is certainly
not iucumbeut upon Senator
lillman to proceed against him?elf.
But why has this state of things
joue on undisturbed? Aye, there's
he rub. That brings us back to
;he starting-point of the discuslion:
"And he has been permitted 1
x> do so because?well, because he

s the way it appears to us.

CHINA'S GREAT WALL j
It Was Undoubtedly the W?rk of a
Real Genius.
The Great Wall is often stigma- i
tized as a monument of human
shortsightedness and folly by many
who are willing to rhapsodize over
the Great Pyramid. A great archi
teetural work the pyramid was cot.
It was simply a stone tumulus, and
everything goes to prove that it
was nothing more than a superlative
mausoleum, a monument of. the
vanity of the monarch who was entombed
beneath it, and considered
either as mere bulk or as an engineering
feat it sinks into utter insignificance
beside the Great Wall,
a work of vast practical utility.
It is in fact the Great Wall more
than anything which stamps its
founder for all time for what he
was?a man of the highest order of
genius, possibly the greatest genius
who has borne sway on the earth.
The Chinese of the second century
B. C., like the Romans of the first,
had arrived at a critical stage in
the tourse of their development,
and each nation succeeded in producing
a hero at the right moment
to lead it to the accomplishment of
its destiny. The prescience with
which Julius Caesar, confronted
with the problem of finding a suitable
defen-ive frontier for the Roman
empire, solved it by the occupation
of the line of the Rhine is
rightly considered as one of the
chief reasons for his Dre-eminent
place in the world's history. The
guarded river that the genius of
the great dictator had made the
frontier of the Roman empire was
the terminus of barbarism for nearly
five centuries. Chi Huang Ti
was confronted with the^ame problem^
He solved it with jqual prescience
and grer*er success by an
inspiration of gei. s unparalleled
in history. Where nature had placed
no barrier he reared an artificia
me, and for ten centuries the
northern barbarians pcessir down '
from the great central ' id
jtrove in vain urst th 0 * che
bulwarks which 3 had interposed
^etween their ravening hordes and
ae rich plains of China.
Probably {he Great Wall was a
more formidable obstacle to the
barbarians of central Asia than the
Rhine to the Germanic hordes of
Europe. It was at once a well deined
frontier, a magnificent miliary
road and an impregnably inrenched
picket line along the borler.
The towers were probably all
iccupied by pickets and communication
maintained by cavalry pa:rols,
a very easy matter on the
>latforms of the wall. The gates
rere doubtless strongly garrisoned,
rnd at strategic points along the
vail and to its rear bodies of field (
roops collected in permanent forresses
and intrenched camps. The ,
rail itself was a formidable obstacle
to a band of marauders. If they ,
ncceeded in scaling it there still
emained the nearly insuperable
lifficultv of bringing across their
lorses, and a Tartar without his
iorse is well nigh helpless. Did a
Wronger force make an attack it j

Curiosities of Our Calendar.
There are some curious facts
ibout our calendar. No century can i
>egin on Wednesday, Friday or Sunlay.
The same calendars can l>e 1
ised every twenty years. October
ilways begins on the same day of 1
:he week as January, April as July,
September as December. February,
March and November begin on the
same days. May, June and August
ilways begii^on different days from
?ach other and every other month
in the year. The first and last days
[>f the year are always the same,
rhese rules do not apply to leap
year, when comparison is made between
davs before and after Feb. 29.
Ancient SmitHfield.
Sraithfield is probably the oldest
cattle market in the world. It was
already ancient when Fitz-Stephen
made an allusion to its existence in
1150. Then a place for live cattle
only, it lay outside the city walls
and served in the absence of the cattle
as a place of recreation. Two
hundred years later the corporation
assumed official control over the
beasts and the butchers. But these
did not have the complete monopoly
of Smithfield, as the blood of the
the martyrs and the revelers of Bartholomew
fair testify ? London
Chronicle.
He Knew by Experience.
A little boy who had just this
season joined Sunday school was
asked by his mother how he liked it.
"Why!" exclaimed Charlie disgustedly,
"they don' know much.
The teacher asked what was the collec\
and I was the onlv one who
knew."
"And what did you say, dear?"
"Why, I told them pretty quick
that it was a pain in the stomach."

OUTWARD DISPLAY.
It Characterizes the Social Life All
Over Italy.
Social life among the Italians is j
really not so different from social
iife in other countries, although
certain national peculiarities must
be remarked, saf& Harry Quimby
in Leslie's Weekly. Italians even
iu the most elaborate homes do not
wear evening dress for dinner unless
there is a party. The particularly
fashionable wear a smoking
coat and a black tie, but . A-\ plain
black coat is more univer ?sed. i

important to reputation and hi.t ^
ness. The following will illustrate
the prevailing feeling: An American
who had taken a flat in a palazio,
the first floor of which jjas occupied
by a noble family in reduced
circumstances, noticed every
day a servant going up the steps
carrying a pair of carriage doors.
Upon investigating he found that
the noble family shared a carriage
with other families and that each
had its coat of arms upon its own
doors.
Fewer Italians go ' the famous
watering places thar people of any
other country. The >opuiar annual
tonic of the Italians consists of eating
grapes. The treatment includes
grape juice and grapes, as much as
can, be taken, in the morning and
at noon a rare beefsteak. In the
afternoon more gr^nes and grape
juice are partaken f, and at 7 in
the evening *1 rare beefsteak.

Malacca Bellas.
Eastern standards of beauty differ,
like the customs, from those of
the west. In Malacca, we are told,
tlje small yaist and velvet eyes do
not count, but instead the length of
the neck is the criterion of beauty.
The longer it is the more perfect
the beauty. The girl of Malacca at 1
a very early age is fitted with a metal !
collar which compels her to keep j
her head erect, and as she grows the (
callar is increased in size, and by j
this means the neck is gradually 1
elongated. A Paris contemporary, j1
with the present style of corset in
view, suggests that, given time, figures
equally grotesque will be seen
in European cities.?London Globe. (
There is no case on record of a ( '
cough, cold or la grippe developing (
into pneumonia after Foley's Honey
