I Thk Times this week introduces a 1 new feature, in the shape of a special 1 column on the local page devoted to f special notices and short advertise- f ments. It will be an attractive feat- g ure, and persons wishing to buy or g sell will naturally scan this column I In every issue. If you have anythiug to dispose of or want to buy anything use this column. SPECIAL AI>VERT1SEMKNTS is tjie head lino. J It will be noticed by referring to the city ordinance published in another column that the municipal tax ? has been reduced 88? per cent. This c is a pretty deep cut, and is welcomed t by the taxpayers. The matter of g cutting down the street duty tax f from $3.00 to $2.00 is the item that la rtA? f? ?-* 4- AMAol L rt /?WAn4-An4- ?-?*-? *>. ? io uv nivctcou i/uu gicnicau uuni" ber as this is a tax that has to be ? paid by rich and poor alike. We c have hoped for a long time that this 1 would be done and we are glad to see r this cut. The town affairs are now 1 in good shape, and we were confident that a reduction would be ma le as soon as the financial affairs got in j shape to justify it. c We notice that our old friend and ( r fellow quill driver, Addison H. j. Shaver, the hustling and wide-awake v editor and proprietor of that shining I star among the weekly newspapers of Georgia, the Jackson Argus, has been appointed a commissioner from the sixth Congressional district of g Georgia by Governor Chandler, to 0 the World's Fair at St. Louis, Mo., g In 1903, His business will be to se t cure specimens of Georgian's me- jj chanical and agricultural products ] and arrange for their display at the World's Fair. This is an honor richly deserved by Mr. Shaver, who is ^ one of the finest newspaper men in o Georgia or anywhere else, and the appointment will reflect credit upon the State as well as upon the county c of his adoption. Editor Shaver is a c hustler from away back and his ap- * pointment to this important trust '* means a fine exhibit at the fair from " Georgia. Ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, has just v returned from his Europeun trip, b He was hospitably entertained while 'l] In Europe by the royalty. He was ^ invited to meet the King, but the ^ custom requires knee breeches, tight c vest, sword, tight coat, rooster fea- t ther in hat, and other such tomfool- ' ery when you are to bo presented to g the King. Hogg drew the lino at this, and refused to meet the King He was much impressed at the friendly feeling for Americans that he r found everywhere he went. In con- 1 versation he said after his return: * "I am not too much interested in the v c Texas oil fields to engage in politics, j T i U.,.,. .. Hill !- i . . j.i mjijuu vi mil is nominated i nelie?e either could be elected. It is 1 certain that the next President will ' be a Democrat. The Republican L party cannot expect to slaughter her best men with impunity, such men as Miles, Dewey and Schley." There t may be something in this. We bono v o. We can only wait and see. It '' is our opinion, however, that if Itoos- ^ evelt is nominated by the itopublicun |, party, he is going to bo a hard man a to beat, on account of the very favor- a . able impression he has made in the ^ South by his very evident friendliness t to this section. This very thing (( coupled with the fact that he is a o man that cannot be pulled around by ? the nose, not oven by Boss Mark ?{) Han na, may result in his failure to r secure the nomination of his party, li The Republican party wants the 0 President's chair filled with a pliant 0 n tool, rather than by a man of stamina, < able to stand up for his honest con- ii vlctions of what ho conoeives to be Kiht. 1 ! 4 THi: WHEEL, OF FORTUNE A cureful observation of pusainj events will lead one to the convictioi that Fortune is a liekle god.

The poor man's son of to ilay may be the rich man of tomor row, The happy man of the presen may bo the man of sorrow in the nea future. Changes and reverses an waiting for every traveler. How nec essary, then, that there should bi the enthronement of a broad spirit o brotherly love, of humanity, of hu mility in every human heart. N< man can afTord to scorn the friend ?hip of the humblest, for some dai he may need the comfort of this sam< humble one. No man can afTord t< gnore the obligations resting upor him to lend a hand to help a brother 'or the day may come when the onb land that can bestow a blessing upoi lim may be that same brother's hand rhe man who holds himself aloo rom his fellows and becomes a sel ish, self-satisfied individual is a dis ;race to humanity and mus tlive t( lee the day when he will reap wha le has sown.

Subscribe for The Timee. . The Ajie of Mars. ; Abbo Moirux of the Bourgei observai tory France has made the following 3 statement of Iiis opinions in regard to th<? 9 age of Mars. If h8.s theory is all right, . all tlie Martian Astronomy will have to 1 begin over again with the A. B. C. stage. He rests his theory upon the new cosino3 genical theory recently advanced by Col. g du Legondes, of the French army reputing the Laplace theory of the format ion of worlds. tklf in asking how old is the planet Mars one means how much time has t elapsed since the elements which now r from the planet were united in a single e sphere, the question can receive on definite answer. Whereas geologists, having " under their eyes all the materials of the b outer crust of the earth, still disagree as f the various periods which marked the tiist, solidfying of . our globe, we could not define, even approxmately, 5 the time required for thecomplote evolu. t ion of a planet concerning whose verv surface we know pactically nothing. But ' in regard to the rank occupied bv Mars 3 iu the chronological order of the formaj tion of planets the problem is not insoluj ble, and it would be readily made clear if, as formerly, the coemogenic theory of i Laplace were accepted without objection r being raised. According to this theory 1 the planets were formed successively by the condensation of the solar nebulosity, * which caused rings of vapor to detach f themselves along its equator. Following . this theory Mars would come immediately before the earth, its nearest neighbor on the side of the sun, and would be older ) than we b "However, this conclusion seems unsound. First of all it would be surprising that a planet so small as Mars, being older than the earth, should not have reached the end of its evolution. Under our eyes we have a striking example of ! the rapidity with which small bodies undergo the various stages of steller life. The moon, the earth's satelite and contemporary. is to-day rigid iu its last form. > By its density Mars closely resembles the 1 formation of the moon, in size it is a I mean between the earth and the moon. 7 if Mam were really so much older than j the earth it would consequently lie in the 1 same physical condition as the moon. "Calculations as to the age of Mars have always been based on the Laplace theory. Now this theory has not only 1 not been confined by mod era observation * but has indeed been contradicted by it. 3 It is in consequence, ouly rational to lay ' aside the hypothesis and its natural con elusions. \ "But there is another cosmogenic theory, which appeals more readily to astronomers, and against which no serious objection has been raised; moreover, it explains most of the peculiarities of ourso1 lar sjsteui. * This hypothesis, first advanced by Col 7 du Ligondes, is simply tint planets ar<* * the result of condensation of slightly i flattened spherical nebulae, in the inter ior of which the movements were pretty r much equal in all directions. Thus the necessity of assuming a systematic initial ( movement, rotary or in whirls, as with the Laplace theory, is obviated. It is " indppd. to t.h? pnimtitv of itivpraitipri molements that nebulae owe their first ' shape. 1 s "After forming the nebulae flatten { 3 more and more, while in the centre local l f condensations are produced. Asa result ' B of progressive flattening most of these 1 3 condensations finally gather in the plane ? o? the fquator and give birth firet to rings and then to planetary glol>ea. Now from the very principle of universal attraction it is clear that the irapoitance of , . these spheres will increare in accordance 3 with the iigeof the agglomerations which ' i gave rise to them. Thus the first spheres ' , to start in their formation would be the { t largest, since they would have fewer ex. terior influence to resist. .Jupiter, the { greatest of the planets, would, therefore, a ! be also the most ancient. IJetween this giant of the planetary system and the sun itself the system of the earth and the 8 ' moon preponderates. It must, therefore, be the oldest of all the inferior systems. ' In the intermediate zone occupied by 1 Mars and the multitude of little planets 1 the materials, drawn in different direclions, had some difficulty in coming to- a ' gether. the scattering of the little planetB 0 . on eccentric and greatly inclined orbits r ; is a proof of this. $ "Mars then has had its formation re ! tarded and its volume diminished by the , opposite actions of the eart h and lupiter. 5 Its planetary formation is relatively re- j \ cent. It came long after the earth, at v the time when the interior planets were in process of creation, at the same period with Venus and Mercery, although it is not possidle to say whether Mars is older j o:" younger than these Compared to j Venus, which seems almost surrounded by thick clouds, the planet Mars,' with its ran lledand almost always clear at mos' pliere, se* ins the more advanced iu i Volu' tion, or older of the two Hut the length * of the evolution of a planet dej>ends upon r the quantity of heat absorbed during its formal ion, as well asjupon its mass Aci cording to the new cosiuogenic theory i this qu mity of heart varies with b elies i of ?qual volume iu propor ion to the distance from the sun. Thus, if Mais and Venus were of the same siz*, for Mars the heat would be only half as inuc'iar for Venus, an 1 the reht'ive ' small r.<ss of Mais, together with its dis' taiice I'rorn tlx; sun, would cause its heat ' to Ire dissipated all the more quickly. All 1 these causes unite to hasten the dual > cooling "Thus Mars whose evolution is shoit i younger than the earth, possibly younger than Venus whoso provision of heat was originally greater and is lost inore slow ly. [ Without attempting to define the exact > period of its formation it may conseL quently be assumed by aj>plying the new , theory that rnrst of the elements of whtbS Mars is compjsed were still dif! seminated in the region now occupied by | its orbit, when on the one hand the earth was already l>eginning to hike shape, at d on the other the great Jupiter, long aim e " formed, shone resplendent in the 1 heavens."
