Bailey, the Cynic.
/" In the United States Senate last
week when Senator Bailey was tryw
iog to explain his vote for a tax
r C on lumber. Senator Tillman, is
f quoted as remarking, in a oollot^uy
with Senator Bailey "But lumber
is a ueceBsity ot life which
the Senator (Bailev) said he would
U ""except aud put on the free list."
"Oh, uo," replied Mr Bailey,
j?; "poor people do not build houses."
To which Mr Tillman replied:
j-' . "All Southern people are poor to
a great extent, and I'll swear they
do have some houses down there."
Which retort, of course, elicited
& *
laughter and applause from the
galleries.
Senator Bailey's cynical remark:
I*. "Poor people do not build houses"
L -Jfctf-ltoefore do not need lumber
Jr at any price), recalls the historic
bit of repartee perpetrated by the
ill-fated Marie Autoinette. When
the queen was told that her sub
L jects lacked bread, she replied:
- "Ob, well, let them eat cake."
The last official act of Governor
if Hoke Smith of Georgia last week
was to pardon fifteen convicts, six
L of whom are murderers. What a
ft record for one day, to turn loose
r- on sooiety fifteen men convicted
?f crime by presumably intelligent
and unprejudiced juries and sen
fenced by righteous judges?and
six of them murderers! Governor
%
Smith's whole administration seems
to nave been an ignominious failare
and the people of Georgia are!
to be congratulated that the cur-'
tain has been rung down on the j
regime of a self-seeking, designing
politician, ready to plunge the
dagger mto any person'or iusti- i
tution that stood m the way of j
I bis ambition.
! That the country newspapers
are feeling what Bill Nye called
"the scarcity- of the stringency,"
is evidenced by the fact that every
week we hear of "weakly"!
papers consolidating, selling out, i
suspending publication or flitting'
from one town to another pursu-1
suing the if/nix fat mis of a better
field. The main trouble is that
too many of these ventures are
founded principally on __rainbow
I prospects, and the bauk of hope
| is notoriously slow to cash checks
i in the good old summer time.
While we differ from our Rutledge
county friends as to the necessity
or advisability of creating
a new county along the lines proposed,
nevertheless we freely offer
them the privilege of our columns
to present any argument they may
wish to offer in favor of the
new county, or to point out any
error we may have inadvertently
made in our discussion of the
subject.
Elogstree vs. Georgetown.
Two games of baseball were played
here last week on Thursday and Friday
afternoons, respectively, between
Kiugstree and Georgetown. The
first game resulted in a score of 8 to
0 in favor of Georgetown, while, in
the second game, the home hoys
tamed the tables and won by a
score of 8 to 2. Batteries: for
Georgetown, first game, Rosenback
and Baunermau; second game, Bannerman,
Rosenback and Green. For
Kingstr^e, first game, Gilland, W S,
and Jacobs; secoud game, Gilland, J
D, and Singletary.
The home boys haye had very little
practice this season and the. notice
given was so short that they had
scarcely time to get a team together
for the series with Georgetown.

Give "Dad" a Show.
Much has been heard in Kansas
towns lately about ''mother's day."
Several Kansas editors are now "hollering"
that the "old man" should
have an inniug. Should they have it?
By all means. Give the old man his
chance at the bat. Let him cavort

last summer's straw hat and his bargain-counter

The young theological student
who had been supplying the Bushby
pulpit for two Sundays looked wistfully
at Mrs. Kingman, his hostess
for the time being. "Did yon like
the sermon this morning, if I may
ask?" he inquired.
"You done real well with the ma- .
terial you selected," said Mrs. Kingman
with much cordiality. "As I
said to Zenas on the way home, 'I've
heard a dozen or more sermons
preached on that text, and this
young man's the first one that ever
made me realize how difficult 'twas
to explain.1"?Youth's Companion.
