The recent telegraphic report detail ing the "firing" of Colonel ohn Bell Brownlow by President Roosevelt for alleged "slack talk" to the late Post- muter General Payne, in officfll cor respohdence, will be of interest to many Georgians, and especially such as were formerly residents of East Tennessee. It seems that Colonel Brownlow has been in charge of the government dis bursements at the 8t- Louis exposition, as he has formerly been at the Pan' American and other large expositions, in which the national government hfd representation. Postmaster . General Payne demanded a report of Colonel Brownlow's receipts and expenditures, and the latter reported the aggregates nly. - Mr. Payne then demanded an itemized statement, and this Colonel Brownlow resented as a reflection ujion his integrity, in advance of his final ac counting, and wrote to the postmaster general a letter that was not consonant with imperial notions of etiquette, but filled with a strong flavor of Est Ten nessee "sass. men urownlow s ac counts were officially reviewed and found absolutely correct. Therefore, after the death of general Payne, his successor, Postmaster General Wynne, recommended that Brownlow be al lowed to retain his office, after an offi cial tenure of over th'rty years, pro vided he would withdraw the language of his letter that had been officially stamped as "leee msjegte," or words of like import, so to speak, etc. , John Bell Brownlow refused to unsay what he had felt the right to say to any man, superior officer or what-not, for impugning bis fiduciary integrity. Those who know Brownlow's heredity and personal characteristics will not be surprised at bis determination to "stand pat" and let the heavens fall, if they would. All Americans of the passing genera tion who were alert to publio affairs recall easily William G. Brownlow, "tha Fighting Methodist Parson"of East Ten nessee, editor of The Knoxville Whig, newspaper famous throughout the Union, eloquent controversialist, vehe ment debater, knife or gun fighter if you wished it bard enough, upholder of'the Union cause, provoker of bush whackers, bridge burners and mobs; then Governor of Tennessee and United States Senator up to the time of his death in 1873 or 1874. He was one of the most conspicuous characters of the stormy civil war epoch. John Bell Brownlow is the second son of that same "Old Bill Brownlow" and in himself embodies the fiery spirit of his celebrated father. boots la Court at Judge, Who Grap ples With Slim. The Rev. Isaac Selby, of Australia, Cal., plaintiff in a damage suit, shot at Superior Judge Uebbard last week while the latter was on the bench. The bullet came within an inch of the Judge's head and lodged in the back of his chair. Selby was removed to the city prison and charged with an at tempt to commit murder. Selbg recently was sued for divorce. He conducted his own defense, but was unsuccessful, a decree against him be ing granted by Judge Hebbard. When Selby arose from a seat in the court-room and fired at the Judge, the latter rushed from the bench and granz pled with his assailant, preventing him from firing anothtr shot. Before being taken to his cell Selby said: "I shot at Judge Hebbard because that seemed the only way for a man to get justice in this country. My only regret is that I seem to bave bungled natters considerably. My intention was to kill him, but I was a trifle ner vous." A Remarkable ajolnrldeure. Charlotte Observer. Bev. W. H. Davis, pastor of Sharon church, who conduced the funeral services over the remains of Mrs. W. C. Grahtm, whose sad death occurred in Sharon last Wednesday, was the pastor in charge who conducted the Kuneral of Mrs. Mary Ann McCall, the mother of Mrs. Graham, whose death occurred almost the same day 23 years previous. .

The men of eighty-five to ninety years of age are not the rotund well fed, a)t thin, spare men, who live on a slender diet.

There is no doubt of the fact that there is more malaria along the west bank of the Catawba river, since the buildioK of the dam than there has ever beerHiefoie. All of the old people of the neighborhood testify to this; but it is still an interesting question as to whether the dam is responsible for this situation, doubts navjs arisen, from the fact that there have been cases of malaria as far back as eight or ten miles from the river, and this seems to prove that it would hardly be fair to charge the malady to that source. The reporter had a talk on the sub ject a few days ago with an able and experienced physician. This physician is fully conversant with the situation, and be is inclined to the opiuion that there is no doubt of the responsibility of the dam. "It is a settled fact now," said the physician, 'that malaria is dis seminated only through mosquitoes. The back water has given rise to more mosquitoes and more opportunity for the dissemination of malaria. You must not understand that all mos quitoes carry malaria, for such is not the case. All mosquitoes, however, are capably of carrying malaria. The germs of the disease go through process in the insect, and the disease is transmitted to human subjects by injection. Then by the same process the work of transmission goes on from one subject to another. There is no reasonable doubt in my mind that the mosquito is entirely responsible for the dissemination of malaria, nor is there any more doubt that typhoid fever owes its origin to infected drinking water. No man is liable to have typhoid fever except through infected water, and ma laria is never transmitted except through mosquito bites." A Time to "Lay Low." Hew York World. Mr. Bryan has brought out his maps aud his charts, summoned his field- r marshals, and is amusing himself by making preparations for the fourth bat tle. This is innocuous activity and will come to nothing. Planning future campaigns now is as foolish premature a performanoe as would be the planting of corn in December. The control of the party organization is worth more on paper than it is worth in a national convention. Mr. Cleaveland controlled the Denocratio organization in 18!6, put he could not suppress Bryan and the heaven-born ratio. Mr. Bryan con trolled the organization in 1904, but he could not block the nomination of Judge Parker. All talk of reorganizing or recons tructing the Democratic party at this time is absurdly "previous." What is there to dof Nobody knows what his tory the Roosevelt Adminsitration will make or unmake. If the President succeeds in forcing a reasonable rev ision of the tariff; if he adopts vigorous measures for the enforcement of the Ann-Trust and Interstate Commerce laws; if he promotes the cause of ul timate independence for the Filipinos, and does not try to spend more money than the Governor can collect, what will be Mr. Bryan's paramount issue? Will he return to the 1896 demand for free silver or to the 1861 declaration' that the war is a failure? The obvious wisdom for the Demo crat is to emulate Br'er Rabbit and "lay low" until they SCO what the Ad- ministratian and Congress purpose to do or not to do.

Mr. Ed. W. Woody publishes a card in the Durham papers to say that at the proper time he will make applica tion to the President for appointment as postmaster at Durham.

Charlotte News. 0 "Tarpntv.n'vA rr thirfv VAarfl fmm Uat - j -j j Bow there will be very little cotton raised in this section, and the country lands will be used for trucking and other uses besides the cultivation of the fleecy staple," saidaCapt. 8. B. Alexander, Tuesday, in discussing the outlook for the farmers during the next twenty to thirty years. Captain Alexander stys that this sec tion when it comes down to facts, is not primarily cotton country and that he is certain that in a quarter of a cen tury cotton will compose only a small part of the productions of the county. "The raising of cotton," said Captain Alexander, "will be placed partly by truck farming which will be much more profitable twenty-five jean hence than it is now." Captain Alexander is also much in terested in the labor problem in this section in particular. He says that more intelligent labor is cheaper at $1.25 per day than unintelligent col ored labor at 60 cents per day and gives many instances to show that this is true. "And yet," said Captain Alex ander, "the colored man just as soon as he gets a little education will no longer work in the fields, but will seek other employment and cannot be got ten to do the farm work any longer." Just what class of labor could be used to advantage in the South Captain Al exander did not say, but he referred to numerous attempts made by Southern planters in this section to use foreign labor and in most instances the attempt doomed to end in failure. "The small farm is the coming agri cultural system in tbe South," says Captain Alexander, and this will fur nish a part solution at least of all the problems which now face the farmer concerning labor, kinds of products Id raise, etc." A Uapilat Plan. During a recent Rtptitt convention held in Charleston Rov. Dr. Greene, of Washington, strolled down to the Bat tery one morning to take a look across the harbor at Fort Sumter. An old negro was sitting on tbe sea wall fishing. Dr. Greene watched the lone fisherman, and finally saw him pull up an odd- looking fish cross between a toad and a cattish. "What kind of a fish is that, old man?" inquired Dr. Greene. "Dey calls it de B.tptist fish," replied the fisherman, as be tossed it away, in deep disgust. "Why do they c.ll it the Baptist fish?" asked the minister. "Because they spoil so soon after dey comes outen the water," answered the fisherman. Heapomelbllllv of the Joe;. Atlanta Constitution.

Then the old man straightened him self, smacked his mouth and said: "De jug helt two gallons, en only had one handle." f Mianllna Evidence. Fresh testimony in great quantity is constantly coming in, declaring Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds to be on equaled. A recent expression from T. J. McFarland, Beutorsville, Va.f serves as example. He writes: -i naa oroncnius lor tnree years and doctored all the time without being benefited.

The average estimate of the cotton crop of this season, made by 1C2 mem bers of tbe New York cotton exchange, places the yield at 11,532,000 bales.

CAN RI RESIST THIS? Savannah News. It is announced that tbe President will not come South this winter but fcrill wait until next spring. He is mak ing a mistake. The South is never more delightful than in winter the mild, balmy winter peculiar to the sec tion. It is in the winter that the pine and oak logs blaze cheerily on the open hearth and give off an aroma that makes the man in whose nostrils it enters glad that he is alive. It is in winter that home-made sau sages, hung in long links from the rafters, are at their best, and the souse in the stJIe crock is seasoned to a king's taste. It is then that the per simmon beer, tbe walnuts and the sweet potatoes combine to delight tho palates of all healthy men. And then there are 'possums and chestnuts and coin pone and frost nip ped collards and dodgers," all holding out promise of cheer and inward delight to him who knows the unsurpassable pleasures of the simple and strong life. Wg feel almost sure that if tbe Presi dent could get a whiff of pine knots blazing in the fireplace and "grandma" sausage cooking in the kitchen he would not wait until spring. Marion Cummings, colored, and Fred Howard, a white boy, both of Monroe, shot and seriously wounded two for eigners who were traveling with a monkey Monday " evening without provocation. They also shot the mon key to death. Cummings has been taken but Howard is at large. Harry G. Carver, aged 39, clerk in a grocery store at Charlotte, cut his throat from ear to ear Monday morning, sev ering the external jugular vein. Mel ancholia is given as the cause.
