PEOPLE'S CASH FREELY SPENT
Fifty-Ninth Congress, Which Adjourned Monday.
PASSED THE BILLION MARK
Short Summary of the Most Important Legislation Enacted During the Short Session.
The fifty-ninth congress, which expired on Monday, at noon, has been most liberal in the matter of appropriations. The budget for the expenses of the government for the fiscal year 1908 is in excess of $1,000,000,000.
The river and harbor bill alone provides for an expenditure of $830,000,000, and this work will probably come closer to the people at large and have a more beneficial effect upon business conditions generally than any other government enterprise unless it be the postal service
The appropriation bill also provides for the construction of two new battleships at an expense of about $10,000,600. It includes a, raise of salaries for cabinet officers, the vice president, the speaker of the house, senators and representatives. It also grants an increase to ambassadors, ministers and consuls. It carries a loan of one million dollars for the Jamestown exposition and an appropriation for the Alaska-Yukon exposition. It grants more pay to the rural free delivery carriers and increased remuneration to postal clerks.
The railroads, the packing houses, the express companies, the high tariff interests and the protectionists have little to regret as the result of bills enacted by congress the past few months. Not only were bills put through favorable to the "interests," but remedial legislation in the interest of the people and urged upon congress by the president, were not acted upon. The epitaph over this congress might be: "I have done much that I should not have done, and I have left undone those things I should have done."
In the immigration bill and in the sixteen-hour bill, for the protection of railway employees, has this freak of legislation been resorted to by the republicans to embarrass and aound the minority. In its final analysis it means that five or six or seven members of a conference committee practically assume the power of legislating in place of the senate and house of representatives.
An important feature of the present session has been the failure to pass any extensive legislation affecting the railroads. The LaFollette bill, providing for a reduction of $7,000,000 per annum in the payment to railroads for carrying the mail, was introduced in the senate as an amendment to the postal appropriations bill. It was defeated in the house, and after a bitter struggle in the conference committee was reduced about $4,000,000 annually.
Senator Aldrich attempted to kill the denatured alcohol bill, but enough republicans joined with the democrats to reserve to the farmers the right to operate their own stills for the manufacture of denatured alcohol for domestic use.
Despite the demands from all sections of the country for tariff revision, there will be no effort at revision, it has been definitely decided, until after the next presidential election. Among the measures which have passed, it might be mentioned in recapitulation, are those prohibiting campaign contributions from corporations, the exclusion of Japanese cooie labor, granting the government the right of appeal in criminal cases under certain conditions, an investigation into woman and child labor and the ratification of the Santo Domingo and Algeciras treaties.
TRIP TO THE CANAL ZONE
Being Arragged by Business Men of South and Southwest.
Secretary Shannon of the Nashville, Tenn., board of trale, is daily in receipt of letters asking information regarding the proposed-trip to Panama from various points in the south and southwest and as far west as Duluth, Minn. Every indication points to a complete success of the movement. It is the present intention to call from New Orleans about the first of April.

LIGHT ON QUEER DEAL
Handed Contractor Oliver is Sought of President Roosevelt by Senator Tillman. A resolution was presented in the senate Saturday by Senator Tillman calling on the president to send to the senate, "If in his judgment not incompatable with the public interest, all papers of information in his possession in regard to the proposed letting of the contract for the construction of the Panama canal, which was bid for by W. J. Oliver, and others, and to state the existing status."
In a speech supporting the resolution Mr. Tillman said the whole country wanted the canal constructed with as little scandal as possible. "There have been some remarkable occurrences in connection with this work," he continued. Reference was then made to the resignation of Mr. Wallace, who, he said, was berated and abused by the secretary of war. "Then came the information that Chairman Shouts was retaining his railroad business; that the canal work was insufficient to occupy his entire time, and then the statement that he was going cut. "And then came Mr. Stevens' resignation. Now comes the matter of Mr. Oliver's bid for the work."
Mr. Oliver, he said, was an efficient and able contractor and his bid was the lowest. "But at once hocus pocus came into the game. As I understand it Mr. Oliver has complied with every requirement. I may be a little suspicious, but there has appeared to me a disposition to let in the bidders who were a little too greedy in their first bids. Now Oliver has disappeared and the army engineers are said to be put on the job. I want a little information," concluded Mr. Tillman.
Senator Carmack said he had prepared an identical resolution to that introduced by Mr. Tillman. It seems to him that Mr. Oliver had received very bad treatment. He had spent $30,000 or $40,000 of his own money in complying with the requirements of the government and had made the lowest bid. Because of objection the resolution went over for future action under the rules.
PROBING OF COITON EXCHANGES
To Be Started at Once by Department of Commerce and Labor.
A Washington dispatch says: In accordance with the house resolution providing for an investigation of the business methods of cotton exchanges dealing in futures, the bureau of corporations of the department of commerce and labor will begin a general inquiry into cotton dealing immediately.
Representative Livingston, of Georgia, who has been active for months in the agitation for reformation in the methods of cotton exchanges, said that he expects to appear before the bureau and present much data which he has collected on the methods of cotton dealers.
The department has been supplied by Mr. Livingston with the names of many witnesses whom he wishes to have called, and additional lists will be furnished by representatives of the cotton exchanges and other persons interested in the investigation.
As the resolution was amended by the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce it does not provide for an investigation of any particular exchange, but is believed by members of congress interested in the matter to be broad enough to extend the inquiry to the New York, New Orleans and Memphis cotton exchanges.
Carworkers of Coast Line Strike.
The car inspectors and car workers of the second and third divisions of the Atlantic Coast Line went out on a strike Saturday morning in Waycross, Ga. The men recently asked for a 25 per cent increase, which was declined.
A NEED OF MORE WARSHIPS
To Protect American Interests in Central American War Zone. Developments in the war in Central America, with the indications that at least four of the republics have become involved, has led the state and navy department officials to consider the expediency of increasing the American naval force in those waters and it is probable that within a few days several other ships will be ordered to reinforce the Marletta and Chicago in protecting American interests there.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 9. 1907.
RUSSIAN DOUMA IS ASSEMBLED
People's Representatives Meet for Second Session at Capital.
IS FOLLOWED BY RIOTING
Enormous Crowds of Proletariat and Students Make Revolutionary Demonstrations But are Curbed.
The opening in St. Petersburg Tuesday of the duma, or the lower house of the Russian parliament, although in itself devoid of interest, was made the occasion of a. great revolutionary demonstration by the St. Petersburg proletariat and students of the city, which resulted in several encounters between the students and the police, and more or less serious injury of the latter.
The situation was such that authorities were finally forced to fill the streets with military as in the ominous days of the Trepoff regime. After adjournment of the session of the house, a tumultuous crowd, by this time estimated to number close to 40,000 persons, with red banners flying and accompanied by the music of revolutionary chants, started toward the central quarter of the city, where the winter palace of the emperor is located.
Pew elements of the prelude of "Red Sunday" were lacking and the command, "fire," would have precipitated a similar massacre. But the present prefect of St. Petersburg, General Dracheffski, followed another course, and dispersed the procession by charges of mounted gendarmes, armed with whips, and by an imposing display of force, he prevented the demonstrators from reforming.
During the long hours of the morning and afternoon the police guarding the Tauride palace acted with great forbearance, giving the spectators a free vent in singing and cheering, and only interfering to prevent the people from forcing their way into the palace.
When the deputies emerged after the adjournment of the session the temper of the crowd was fired by speeches from social revolutionary members, a dozen of whom mounted upon the shoulders of their followers and harrangued those present upon the necessity of organizing to support parliament against the government. The social revolutionary motto, "Through fight our right," was adopted as a general slogan, and simultaneously red handkerchiefs began to flutter above the heads of the crowd, and then the crimson banners appeared like magic.
In the meantime the authorities had hastily, concentrated a strong force ofgendarmes, which charged the head of the procession when it reached the Litloiny prospect, one of the main business avenues of the city. Thegendarmes plied their whips vigorously, and in one case used the flats of their sailers. The crowd attempted to reassemble in front of the detention prison, where hundreds of political prisoners are confined, and again in front of the general court building, where the political trials are held, but in each instance it was dispersed.
M. Goluboff, vice president of the council of the empire, called the lower house to order and in a colorless speech invited the members to sign the path of allegiance to Emperor Nicholas The conservatives cheered the mention of the hamb of the emperor, but the opposition members remained silent.
M. Feodor Golouin, president of the Moscow province, was elected president. He is a member of one of the oldest families of Russia, and one of the foremost liberals of the old school, but in no sense a radical. He has many friends in court circles and is understood to have the support of the labor and peasant members of the house.
SENATOR FRYE AND THE DAM BILL.
Lawmaker from Maine Causes 'Hilarity Among Dignified Solons.'
Senator Frye, of Maine, starred the senate Saturday. He was on his feet making a report from his committee on commerce, on several bills, when he suddenly raised his voice, and exclaimed.
"If I can get immediate consideration for that dam bill I will promise the senate not to report another dam bill this session."
Amid, a general laugh the bill was passed and a dam will be built across certain shoals in the Savannah river.
CAN CUT OUT BOOZE.
Judge Speer Decides That Municipal Councils Have Right to Refuse to Issue Whisky Licenses. In a decision Monday Judge Emory Speer, in the United States district court, at Augusta, held that the city of Valdosta, Ga., had a perfect right to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor in its corporate limits. The opinion is the result of an application for injunction brought by E. E. West and others, of Florida, that would restrain the council of Valdosta from passing such an ordinance.
Counsel for the applicants fully stated the grounds of his bill and was then asked: "Is that all?" His reply being in the affirmative, Judge Spacer delivered his opinion, which is in part as follows:
"This is a bill presented by E. E. West and William B. Roberts, residents and citizens of the state of Florida, in which they pray for said, as stated by their counsel. This is that this court shall grant an injunction restraining the majority of the municipal council of the city of Valdosta from enacting an ordinance prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors within the corporate limits of that town. They are not directly interested in the sale of liquor themselves, but incidentally they claim that their property is benefited by the traffic. One of them is a hotel keeper, or is interested in a hotel, and, presumably, there is a bar in his hotel, or if there is no bar there, his receipts are augmented by the bibulous individuals who flocked to Valdosta to allay their thirst.
"The mayor and council of the city of Valdosta having the right to regulate and grant licenses, presupposes the right to refuse them or to revoke them. I think it will be a most excellent thing for the property of these gentlemen, and for the property of everybody in Valdosta, and in Lowndes county, and for their moral status as well, if the city council (or other city councils) would prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks, would stand steadfastly to that prohibition and enforce it rigorously by due process of law. I believe it would do more to solve the urgent and vital problems which are pressing on our southern people, do more to decrease the volume of vagrancy and crime, give the farming and manufacturing interests of the country reliable and industrious labor, save the unprotected women of our country from the horror of wrongs which shake the whole nation, and more to restore us to the simple life and genuine old-fashioned Americanism, safety, contentment and peace than all other causes put together. And this will be the last court, that I am aware of, which will entertain an application of this sort to interfere with the city government, in any measure which may stop the traffic in intoxicating liquors."
WHILE ENGINEER WAS ABSENT
Freight Train Rolled From Siding to Main Line and Collision Occurred.
With no engineer at the throttle, freight train No. 81 drifted from a side track to the main line at Howell Station, near Atlanta, Monday morning, and was crashed into with such force by incoming Southern passenger train, No. 143, that five postal clerks, a negro passenger and one of the conductors were painfully hurt, and both engines badly damaged. As is usual the freight train was side-tracked at Howell Station that the passenger train from Greenville might pass. While waiting for the latter train to put in appearance, Engineer Davis made his way to the telegraph station that is but a few yards distant from the place of the wreck, and was there at the time the collision took place.
The siding on which the freight train lay is a good deal elevated above the principal track, and, with no one at hand to apply emergency brakes or resort to some other expedient, it rolled slowly to the main track, when the passenger train swept down on it.
OLIVER MAY SUE FOR. EXPENSES.
Says Uacle Sam Should Reimburse Him for Lost Lash.
It is rumored in Washington that Mr. Oliver will submit a bill to the administration for $40,000, expended by him in forming the Panama Construction Company. If not approved, he will take his complaint to congress. He went to this expense, he says, on an intimation from the president that his bid would be accepted if he associated with himself some men who were acceptable, who could help assume the responsibilities of the undertaking.
BAD SMASHUP ON SEABOARD
No. 38 Limited Crashes Into Runaway Freight Cars.
ONLY ONE LIFE IS LOST
Engineer Was Pinned Under Overturned Engine and Cremated--Coaches and Freight Cars Burned.
Train No. 38, of the Seaboard Air Line, known as the Exposition Limited, crashed into ten runaway freight cars 1 1-4 miles from Powder Springs, Ga., at 7:04 o'clock Friday night, and in the smashup, which resulted one man, Engineer Hudgins, was burned to death, seven persons badly injured, the passenger engine and five coaches utterly destroyed and five freight cars reduced to ashes.
A few minutes before the accident a freight train one mile from the scene of the wreck started to side-track in order to allow the coming passenger the right of way. In some way ten of the cars, five of them loaded with cotton, broke loose from the train and started down the track toward the approaching No. 28 at a fast galt. One mile from the starting point the brakes worked, and the flagman, leaping to the ground, rushed ahead to flag the oncoming engine.
He says he did flag the train, and it is the opinion of those on the train that either he warned the engineer or that Hudgins in some way became aware of the danger, for one of the passengers testifies that there were three distinct shocks, the first when the emergency brake was put on the train.
It was too late, however, for the engineer to save his own life, though his action, it is believed, was responsible for the safety of the passengers, for the next moment the engine plowed its way into the first freight car.
In the frightful shock that followed, the engine tumbled down the embankment, a distance of fifteen feet, and there fell over on its side, pinning the engineer under it.
The engine being out of the way the first baggage car then hit the first freight car and piled upon it. Another second and the mail car was added to the heap, while the smoker, halfway off the track, continued to hang on.
The passengers, shocked and bruised, having realized that they had escaped with their lives, scramoled out of the cars and crowded out into a field of mud, while a heavy rainstorm beat down on them, rendering their situation exceedingly uncomfortable.
As the last of the passengers left the cars the trainmen started on their rescue work, the first coach began to burn as if the rain were so much kerosene oil, the mali car, baggage car, engine and first coach blazing with increased brilliancy.
The spreading flames soon reached the other coaches, and then continued on their way through five of the freight cars which were the cause of the wreck. The five which were utterly destroyed were loaded with cotton.
The injured were taken to nearby homes, and the passengers footed it through the rain for over a mile to Powder Springs, where all possible was done for their comfort.
SUDDEN DEATH FOR JUSGE.
Seaborn Reese, Prominent Georgian, Succumbs to Heart Disease. Judge Seaborn Reese was found dead in his law office in Sparta, Ga., Friday afternoon. His death is attributed to heart disease. The passing of Judge Reese removes from the scene of action one of the most prominent men in public life in the state, which he has served, notably, in the capacity of legislator, congressman, jurist and citizen.

NO.23.
SCOTCH GIRLS AVAILABLE
"I can begin to send Scotch girls for domestics as soon as you are ready to receive them."
The foregoing is an interesting extract from a letter just received by Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson from James A. Strachan, who is now in Glasgow, Scotland, where he is representing Georgia as commissioner of immigration and from which country he has already sent a number of immigrants to Georgia.
Mr. Strachan writes Mr. Hudson that eight young Scotchmen sailed from Glasgow on the Anchor Line Steamer Columbia, February 22, for Savannah, and asks that arrangements be made to take care of them. Commissioner Hudson will see that this is done.
Mr. Strachan also writes that he is now devoting his attention to making up a well-selected company to sail on March 9. He continues:
"After accomplishing this I would then like to give my undivided attention to the chartering of a steamship to take, a ship-load across, but in order to effectually carry forward the work, the state of Georgia will have to put more funds at my disposal, as the amount sent is entirely inadequate to cover more, than a fraction of the expense incurred, not to speak of some personal compensation out of it for myself.
"Sometimes it has been a real hardship for me ot carry on the work, for after having used up my own resources, I had even to borrow enough to pay postage to answer correspondence in the interests of immigration, which has now become quite an item in itself. To add to my financial burdens the great majority of my American correspondents would persist in not paying sufficient postage on letters, some only using a 2-cent stamp, when their letters required a 10-cent stamp, and it is the postal rules to impose a fine of double postage for any deficiency.
"I assure you I will try to perform my whole duty under every circumstance, and will not incur any needless expense in carrying out my mission. I am not here to play or trifle and have no intention of shirking my duty. I believe the Empire State of the South will fully rise to the emergency, and not let me suffer while serving her interests.
"In this connection I wish to call your attention to the fact that the city of Rome, Ga., single-handed put $1,500 at Mr. Swanson's disposal when he started on his mission to Sweden.
"If given sufficient backing I can procure a shipload of 500 or more selected immigrants from Glasgow. Southampton and Liverpool are out of my jurisdiction. You will recall that my commission only covers Scotland. If you wish me to work in English and other territory you will have to grant me a commission for Great Britain and Ireland.
"I can begin to send Scotch girls for domestics as soon as you are ready to receive them."
"Farm help cannot be got in any great numbers till after May 26 — 'Term day.' They are engaged in Scotland for six months and a year, and their engagement ends and begins on the date mentioned. It will be necessary, however, to do vigorous propoganda work among them beforehand, in order to secure them before re-engaging to their masters." Mr. Strachan's present address is James A. Strachan, No. 80 Watt street, S. S. Glasgow, Scotland.
BODY IS FULL OF NEEDLES.
Woman Swallowed a Whole Package and Surgeons are at Work. Mrs. Dolly Dussler, 22 years old, of New York city, who swallowed a package of needles several months ago, is at present under treatment in Bellevue hospital, where the surgeon states she has still scores of needles in her body. At the Fordham hospital, where the woman was first treated, five operations were performed and fifty needles extracted.

Members of the Gordon monument commission will meet on March 11th at the state capitol for the purpose of opening bids to erect the pedestal and also to decide upon the date for unveiling the statue and arrange the program for the occasion.
Hopes have been expressed that it might be possible to have the unveiling ceremonies on the 12th day of May. It is stated, however, that the exercises will more likely be held some time during the month of June, probably on the second day after the general assembly is convened.
The equestrian statue is now being cast under the direction of Solon Borglum, the sculptor.
The jury at Lyons in the case of William T. Gilpin, charged with the murder of W. W. McDonald, a prominent attorney of Douglas, brought in a verdict of not guilty, after having been out several hours.
Gilpin shot McDonald in his wife's room at the Rimes House in Vidalia, one night last October. He had concealed himself in the closet of the room. After McDonald had entered, Gilpin sprang from his place of confinement and emptied two revolivers at McDonald. Gilpin pleaded the "unwritten law" as his defense. The state alleged that Gilpin had conspired to take the life of McDonald. Mrs. Gilpin was also under indictment, but the case against her was not prosecuted.
According to Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, it is up to the Georgia Immigration Association to get busy quick in the matter of getting immigrants to the south. The longer the delay, the more severe the restrictions likely to be put upon immigration agents by the foreign countries from which we are seeking to secure desirable citizens for the state and section.
"I am reliably informed," said Mr Hudson, "that the foreign countries from which we propose to draw immigrants, are constantly putting new restrictions upon those representatives who go there for the purpose of inducing it. From the information that comes to me, I am satisfied that our immigration officials would have an easy time today compared to what will confront them in foreign countries six months from now, and the quicker we get busy the better. The matter is in the hands of the immigration association, so far as the

Money for Georgia Troops.
The treasury department at Washington has notified Senator Clay that the claims of the Georgia Spanish-American war soldiers, which have been pending before the department for several years, have been settled, the aggregate of the awards is $29,333 and warrant for this amount will be promptly sent to Governor Terrell, who will distribute the fund.
Georgia Building at Jamestown. The contract for the erection of the Georgia building at Jamestown, which will be a reproduction of Bulloch Hall, at Roswell, the girlhood home of. President Roosevelt's mother, has been let by the Georgia Jamestown commission to a Norfolk firm of contractors on a bid of $12,000. It is hoped, however, to scale that price considerably on account of a large amount of material, both lumber and brick, which the commission has had donated to it to go into the building.
The first county immigration association to be organized in Georgia was formed at Butler, in Taylor county, the past week. The organization meeting was well attended by representative citizens, and great enthusiasm prevailed. President John A. Betjman, of the Georgia Immigration Association, was present, and made an address. The county association will co-operate with the state immigration association. Prominent citizens of Taylor county were elected officers of the association.

HIS COLOR WAS DECEPTIVE.
Negro Who Passed as White Man "Deported" from Albany. A negro named Pete Ziegler has been passing himself off in Albany, Ga., as a white man for the past month. Ziegler could easily pass for a white man where he was not known. He has been boarding with one of the best white families in the city and has been associating with some of Albany's best people. A visiting lady recognized him as being a negro who formerly lived in her city, and her assertion was investigated and found to be correct. Ziegler was then carried to Forresters Station, a few miles north of Albany, and ordered to board an outgoing train.

TRY SHOULD HAVE-ONE
Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing.
As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important.
Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published. It will make every one independent, sure and self-reliant in all practical calculations connected with farming and other lines of business. It will prevent mistakes, relieve the mind, save time, labor and loss. It is a pocket edition with pocket for papers and a loose silicate slate from which lead pencil marks are easily erased, and is an invaluable assistant for every farmer or business man.

Oze of our exchanges in referring to
this machine says, as the Farmer has
before stated that it is a mechanical
Imitation of hand milking and requires
xery little poner. Cows take kindly to,
it and let down their milk freely, and
there is no need for hand stripging,
as ir milks clean. A most impevtant
consideration is that it insures abso-
Jute Cleanliness in the milk. The milk
Passes through no tubes, goes direct
from the cow into the bucket. One
man or boy ean attend to four ma-
chines and gan mill from four to five
cows in twenty minutes or about fif-
teen cows per hour, as many as cigh-
wen cows per hour having beegssur-
cessfully hardled. These mecianical
methods will be a great boon to dairy-
‘men, not merely on the ground of cost
Dut also because they will add greatly
do the purity of the milk. .
‘Value of Skimmilk for Laying Hens.
‘The Department of Aericalture has
ecerved a report from the West Vir-
ginia Dxperiment Station of a test
‘made to determine the value of skim-
milk as against water for wetting a
feed mash.
In the first test. which covered 122
days, twenty-two hens fed skimmilk
Jald 1244 eggs. as compared with 998
‘exch Jaid by the twenty-two hens fed
math Wet with water.
Tn the first perfod of the second test,
sixty hens fed the skimmilk ration laid
802 eegs in thirty-seven days, as com-
pared with 632 eggs.laid by a similar
Jot fed no skimmilk, In the second
pericd the rations were reserved. The
shickens fed skimmilk lal 1220 exgs in
fifty-six days, as compared with 978 in
jthe case of the ot fed no slimmilk.
Ip both experiments more eggs were
reduced when skimmilk was sub-
stituted for water for moistenizg the
mash. Under the ‘conditions prevail-
ing in these experiments and with eggs
seiling at twensy or twenty-five cents
sper dozen, the iskimmilk used for
moistening the mash kad a feeding
‘syalue of from 11-2 to two cents per
quart. In these trials 802 quarts of
skimmilk were fed, resulting in an in-
‘erease in the e33 production of 702
Seess.
¥v? ss Some Points About Alfalfa.
“It is remarkabie how people have
to be eduéated to the use of alfalfa,”
iremarked a hay dealer who bas a large
retail business. “Dairymen have to
have it constantly argued to them be-
fore they got on to its great value.
\Mulemen took to it nidre readily be-
‘eause the mule is surposed to be able
to stand anything, but the horseman
has refused to feed it to any consider-
able extent. This fs due to the falla-
‘lous idea that alfalf, would unduly
stimulate the digestive organs, the
same as green clover. This is not true,
however. Of course, you must feed it
moderately until the horse gets used
to it: then there is no difference be-
‘ween it and the proper kinds of hay,
excent that it produces more flesh and
‘brigivens the coat and makes it
glossy.”
* fhe Department of Agriculture has
sben searching the world over for hardy
‘alfalfa seed for the extreme north, and
‘on the wind-swept plains of Siberia,
far to the north, where the thermome-
-ter often stands 49 degrees below zero,
and where there is lttle rainfall and

has dlscoveredsa variety of altatte ~~4
Narieties of clover which Secretary Wil.
son believes wilf be of great vaue wr
the dry land areas of the West. Tne
alfalfa 1s extremely hardy and bears
a yellow flower.
nm Cows Hold up the Farm.
* Neewithstanding what has been said
about the value of the Iesumes, one
should not be led to believe for a mo-
yment that all of the nitrogen which
they contain is gathered from the air
and hence fs pure gain.
\ The fact {3 that the richer the‘farm
‘ani the greater the amount cf stable
snanure and nitrogenous chemical man-
sures applled, the less will be the net
‘gain by way of the atmospheric nitro-
‘gen acquired. It has, for example,
ibeen abtinaantly demonstrated that the
‘legumes In ‘the presence of an ample
jsupply of easily assimtlable nitrogen
trom the atmosphere. On this account
the imzortance of the legumes on d
well manage! farm is probably less as
a gatherer cf nitrogen than as a soll
improver and a saver of grain bills—
points which apparently in the Jast ten
years have beén given relatively little
attention. .
‘That wise old teacher, Prof.” Levi
Stockbridge, lost no opportunity to im-
press upon his students the fact that
the cow should be made to pay a profit
regardless of the manure, and that the
farmer who kept cows merély as man-
ure producing machines might justly
be anxious about his balance sheet.
‘The fdeal condition of New England
agriculture would be one under whieh
the need of commercial fertilizers
might be ellminated by the develop-
ment of a profitable Jine cf animal
husbandry, which should make’ the
farm practically self-sustaining. This
condition s, perhaps, most nearly
reached when butter and swine con-
stitute the chlef marketable products
of jhe farm. Egs, milk and grass
farms, for example, are continually
parting with large quantities of plant
food—Dr. ,H, J. Wheeler, Washington

Winter Treatment. ~
A correspondent of the Rural Maga~
zine gives some excellent advice on the
winter care of fowls. We made an
extract from his article:
“Tho warmer the house, the more
necessary it Is that there be no cold
drafts; for fowls that are accustomed
to and kept in a warm temperature,
catch cold more easily than fowls that
have become hardened to a rather low
teruperature. Kuot holes and cracks
cause Grafts} drafts usually cause
colds; colds frequently develop into’
roup; and every one who has evér had
experience at all with roup, knows
what a dread disease it is.“ Once It
gets hold of a flock of poultry it is
next to Impossible to eradicate the dis-
ease without sacrificing the greater
part of the flock.
If your house contains earthen floors
{and we have found them to be abore
par as compared with other kinds),
all the dropping and filth and two or
three Inches of the old dirt should be
removed. Allow a few days for the
dirt then exposed to the alr to become
thoroughly dry, and then bring in
enough fresh soll or sand. and gravel,
to raise the floor of, the house up to
the height of at least six Inches more
than that of the surrounding earth on
the outside. :
“Before cold weather sets in perma-
nentlf, piit not less than twelve to
fourteen inches of good dry. litter of
some kind all over the floor cZ the exer-
cising apartmezt. This may seem like
a rather large quantity cf material to
some, but a few handfuls do not make
a litter by any means, and it is im-
possible to have too much litter on
the floor. ‘The fowls like to hunt and
scratch {n thie material, especially if
it 14 replaced with fresh. quite fre-
quently; and by scattering all their
graip feed in It, little difficulty shoula
be exrerienced in keeping the fowls
exercising and busy during the winter.”
Farm Notes.
The esgs from mature hens hatch
the best chickens.
If you have 2 good orchard and your
buildings burn, you vill rebulld.—
Solon Chase. *
Iu no other of our farm industries
are oo so sure as those which
the dairy, offers. >
Choose your animals for the purpose
you wish them, milk or butter, a whole-
‘sale or a retall market.
It is through upgrading of our com-
mon stock that we can hope to enhance
the value and usefulness of our herds.
Turpentine is prescribed for cholera
tor chickens. both young and old. It
may be put in the feed and water
troughs. :
Never let pigs or any other antmal
shift for themselves while young, and
think you can make up for such neglect
at the end. a
Make the hens seratch in clean litter
for every kernel they get. They need
the exercise, they will not eat so fst
and stuff full, thei go and loaf.
If you are troubled with hens eatirg
eggs, place five or six artificial ezes
in the nest. That will cure_ihem.
‘They get tired picking at them.”
Eating dusty bay is a prominent
cause of a cough which may develop
into heaves. Such a horse should be
fed on cut hay dampened with water
and mixed with the-grain feed.
Remember there will bé no advance-
ment, no upgrading, unless you have
secured the best-bred, most propotent
animal at the head of your herd that
is obtainable. Improvement only
comes through the superior quelities
of the males used. x

NEW USES FOR MICA.
are wanice sCconstracted Plates,
The mining of mica has grown to
be an important industry, especially
sinco it has been found to-be an in-
sulator of great value in electrical ap-
Paratus; “but little is popularly
Amown of its sources. Some inter~
esting information is given jn an ar-
ticle on “The Uses of Mica," contrib
uted”to Cosmos (Paris) by-Mr. Four-
ques, Mica has been used for cen-
turies, he notes, but its uses have
greatly multiplied in recent years.
Once fis oniy value was as a glazing
for Janterns or as a decoration, but.
it 13 now applied in many new ways,
due especially to the development of
the clectrical industries. . The term
“mica” embraces a group of complex
silicates. Its most remarkable char-
acteristic, common to all these varl-
‘eties, is the case.with which they
spilt infp thin, flesible and often
transpazént leaves. In thick plates
it appeats opague with a plack or
colozed reflection. This is due to.the
innumerable surfaces of cleavage
from which the light is reflected suc~
cessively, finally beln's entirely ab-
soibed. Transparent ‘shects of pale
color are often utilized for glazing,
especially int stoyes and iamps, and
such use absorbs about 2 third of the
world’s supply. The writer contin-
ues: . 7
“The most jmportant use, howover,
is now as an insulator in electrical
work. Mlea fs infustble or nearly 50,
impermeable to moisture, -elastic,
flexible and clezvable; these quali-
ties are not poszessed all together
by any other known substance. It
is thus’emptoyed for the insulation
of the wires and bars of the arma-
tures in dynamos, that 15 to say, be-
tween the conductors and the iron
core. For this a very flexible mica
is requited—noc white mica, but am-
ber colored. Armatures with mica-
insulated conductors are incombusti-
ble. ks
“It serves also for the manufac-
ture of the resonating dizphragms of
telephones and phonographs.
“Jn leayes in natural mica there
are often holes, striae, or small in-
eluded quartz crystals, which greatly
Umit its use. ‘The Inclusions, ia par-
ticular, facilitate the establishment
of short circuits. Thus the electrical
industry has recourse to the use of
plates of reconstructed mica.
“To obtain these, sheets of paper
as large as required are spread with
gum lac, and powdered mica is
sprinkled over them in as uniforin a.
layer as possible. After drying, a
second layer of gum is applied, then
more mica, and so on, until the de-
sired thickness Is reached. The plate
is subjected to a pressure of about
1900 pounds to the squate inch and

done. It may be sawed, “cut and
pierced with ease. Finally, it Is
cheaper than natural mica. “Conse-
quently, It has taken the place of
the latter for work of great size and
even for that of ordinary size.
“In small establishments the man-
ufac.ure of this ‘micanite’ is carried
on by hand; but on the large scale
itis performed mechanically, so that
one woman may maké about seven
cubic fect in a day, which would re-
quire the work of twenty women
using their hands only. Tlie manu-
facture of tubes, rings, etc., Is car-
ried on in a similar way.
“Mica powder 1s used for the dec-
oration of wallpaper, as in the pro-
duction of snow effects; ft is also
largely employed in compositions that
are non-conducting to heat. -

countries, but the industrial market

According to Dr. Gulzmann, whose
reporthas been adopted and pub-
Ushed by the German Government,
involuntary mimicry plays a great
part in stuttering. Like yawning, it
4s catching. The quicker a child is
and the more imitative, the more apt
it is to imbibe any defects of speech
on the’ part of those by whom it Is
surrounded, Conclusive evidence of
the contagious nature of stuttering is
to be found in\the fact that the num-
ber of stutterers in a school increases
steadily as the children pass upward
from class to class. In the public
schools of Berlin, for example, the
number of stutterers among the ehil-
dren in the lower class was over five
per cent. of the total strength of the
class. This proportion rose from
year to year as the children passed
‘upward in the educational scale until
in the higher class the percentage
was discovered to be .161, of more
than three times the number found
when the same. children were In the

* Subject: Christ's Agony and Ours.

Irving Square Presbyterian Church
on tha theme, “Christ's Agony and
Ours,” the Rev. Ira Wemmell, Hen-
derson, pastor, took as his test Linke
33:34, “And ye would not.” He
said: - t
‘The lamentation of Jesus over the
City of Jernsalem was orcastoned by
His clear vision of the depth of her
need. of the comnlcteness of her re-
Jection of Himself and the revelation
of and from the Father that He

that disdain for His Gospel meant
death for “herself. Feeling In His
inmost heart that His wos the truth

souls; and exverlencing. as Tie had,
the temper of the minds of the ec-
clestastical and clerical leaders of
the synagognes, Jesus was sick at
heart over the spiritual doom that
was sure to overtake His people. To
Jesus sin was the most awful, the
most terrifying, the most fearful
thing in the world. For Him the
word “stn” summed up, short and
quick. all those agencies ‘which were
anti-Godly and which Jed mon far
from the Father. Sin meant destruc-
tion, disapproval In the eyes of God.
and Its wages were the seeds ot
death. The Gospel, on the other
hand, held for Jesus the kernel and
the conclusion of all those forces that
should sain men life eternal and the
full. erithnstastic favor of the King.
thelr Guide. “Being born again of
God and entering into the freedom
of the spiritual life divine, Jesus con-
celved these men. His brethren, as
obtaining deliverance from eternal
death.
With this philosophy and this vis-
Jo of tho nved and the fssne—both
of which Jesus had direct from God
—is it any wonder that He wept over
the City of Jerusalem? Sin is death.
‘My .Gosnel is the way of sure salva,
tion—the only way—and the true
guide unto life that {s eternal. Thus
Feasons Jesus. These men are bound
in and unto sin. How gladly would
J teach to them those spiritual truths
that should save them, but they will
not. Sin ts their choice. separation
from the Father Is thelr self-willed
death. Do you wonder why the Say-
jor suffered unto bitter agony and
tears?. His was the wide and com-
prehensive view of the world, its sin,
its need, its*salvation, its denial, its
destruction. Any smaller oz Tess
comprehending {nsight would have
heen of none avail. A great, Mmit-
less, untversal understanding of the
situation as it was—and fs—was the
one means fo stir the soul of the
Christ to its depths. A weaker man
with a smaller horizon would have
become discourazed or disgusted. A
‘bis man, full of heart and srit, with
‘the richness of God's love flooding all
“his being, was the oaly one who could
‘mourn. Jesus: wept—not from dis-
gust, or discouragement, but becanse
‘His ‘whole soul yearned to lead His
“dying brethren into life for. evermore.
The weight of their guilt, the cer-
tainty of their dying, the uselessness
‘and the wickedness of it all came
‘upon the soul of Christ with resist-
‘Tess force and wrung His heart in
agony.
‘And now, beloved. this lesson from
the life of our Lord points a three-
fold duty for each of us. The acccpt-
ance by us of this triple obligation
which the agony of the Master calls
to our attention. will prove to the
world about us that our Christ wept
not in vain, And the duties three
are these: First, we must be convict-
ed of the awfulness of that sin whose
Togical outcome is death. Secondly,
we must have an experimental and
distinct knowledge that the only sure
salvation from this death-dealing sin
fs through Jesus Christ. Thirdly, we
must, with weeping kearts, go forth
into the world as living evangels to
preach to all mankiad salvation from
this deathly sin through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
"tho awfulness of sin {s a byword
rather than a belief among men to-
day. Io our earnest and quite lesiti-
mate endeavor to publish the glory
of the love of God for the sinner, we
have lost to a great extent our con-
sciousness and our former denuncla~
tion of the hideousness of sin. In
our endeavor to escape from the un-
reasonable curse of a bodily hell we
have, mauy of us, rushed to the other
extreme—that is to say, no hell at
ail. In our earnest preaching of the
love of God toward the sinner we
have become, I fear, too lenient with
sin. My friends, the love of God is
a reality. The punishment and the
death of man brings no joy to the
Father's heart. Jehovah wants every
man to live within the light of His
countenance oflove. ‘To the end that
wo might have Iife and that more
abundantly He sent His Son our Sav-
for to reveal Himself to us. But sin
fs always hateful to God. His whole
nature shrinks from it, as should our
natures, as from a thing unclean. He
can have no communion with {t—nor
should we. Its pleasures are dead
fruit, its cnJoyments -are transient
and a mockery, its wages is death.
Human experience has proved this
to be so, and the word of the living
fruit. ‘The Mfe that seems so near
the brink of death's dari: strenm, tha
heart that wenkl~ heats, the blood
that bolls at fever heat, all selze uno
tlie remedies that- cure, and health
and healfaz vigor rush through the
weakened frame. In each case the
princinle of life has been at work.
As with the natural, so with the
spiritual:
Ah, yes, beloved. sin is bondace,
@eath. ‘diserace, unprofitable, God-
Mness fs great zain and ft will surely

from God and there is no worse leath,

life and the best. But sin fs death
aad the sooner the world finds It ont
and we Christians really realize Sts -
awiulness the hetter for us and the
world. Z
This sin, however. Is suscebttble of
defeat. Our lvea-mav bo treed from
its power and made victorious above ,
its strenzth. ‘The means are not
various, nor fs the wav hard. There
§s but one means and one trne and
happy way. That means and that
way Jesua has revealed. Comlag to
Him ‘for healing we may find ease-
ment for our souls. “Trust in Him
will gain release from evil: A whole
life spent in THis service will reap
a rich reward.’ His is the only gos-
pel that contains the truth entire.
His ts tho one salvation that onr
spirits need. His is the gift of Ifa
forever unto all who hear, believe
and live for Him. Being certain
that sin fs death, we must preach to
men the way to Ife through Jesus
Christ our Lord: ‘fhe trouble with
much of our testimony fs that we are
a Mitle ‘shaky on our own founda-
tlons and that too much of our testi-

‘The Viety of Usefulness.
Someone once said to Cromwell:
“You, sire, know well the usefulness
of piety!” “I know something bet-
ter,” Cromwell replied, “the plety
of ‘usefulness.” The phrase works
hoth ways. Piety {s useful, and use-
fulness isa tuncifon or activity of
piety. If it is meant that slmply to
ve busy {s to be religious, a subtle
terror lurks In the remark’ of Crom-
well. But {f the meaning 1s that
the plety demanded by the age fs not
a self-engrossed religiousness which
dwells apart in reflective uncencern,
but the practical kind of faith that ts
busy in the King’s business, an im-
portant truth fs thus brought to our
notice,
The Soul's Greatest Necd.
Rest {s the deepest want in the

Ject of deep desire. There the weary

real wish that Iles at the bottom of

An English scientist attributes the
wide prevalence of appendicitis to the
use of enameled cooking ufensils. He
points out that when the old-fashioned
cooking utensfis were in vogue ap-
pendicitis was practicaly unknown.
“The present age uses increasingly
enamel ware, which splinters on the
least_ provocation. .
“I find that not only a food such as
‘porridge will carry the needlelike
splinters to the body, but that a soup,
and even tea, may very well contain
sharply splintered particles of tls
most. dangerous glass.” ,°
Many physicians and surgeons have
advaneed the theory known as the
mechanical theory, that the cause of
appendicitis may be the introduction
through the food of some shaxp, irri-
‘tating substance, causing fnflamma-
tion and ulceration.
‘They designate tooth brush bristles,
wheat grit, particles of antimonal rub-
ber stoppers, as common irritants.
None of these are of such frritating
quality. as spicules of enainel, which
might be swallowed with the sauces
or vegetables cooked in the cnameled
ware vessels.
‘Accordingly among medical men and
some housekeepers there is 4 crusade
haying for its object the return to the
old copper or fron kettle.
Recipes. *
Celery Toast—Cut the crisp from
the heart of a stalk of e¢lery into fior-
tions of about two Inches long, shred
very fine, and lay in, fce-cold water
for two hours.” Butter squies ot
toast, cover with the shredded celery,
nd pour over'it whipped cream sea-
sonéd with salt and a little cxyenne.
Garnish with parsley. 7
Roast Goose—A goose shctld ve
roasted longer and basted oftsner
other poultry. Twenty-five minutes
to the pound {s none too long. For
the stuffing’ mix bread crumbs and pul-
verized chestnuts, seasoned | with
salt and pepper. A green goose fs
one under four montha old, and these
are decidedly preferable to the older
fowls. Gooseberry sauce {s aff appro-
priate accompaniment. Apple sauce
fs also orthodos.
Orange Fritters—Divide some or-
anges, leaving three or foyr section&
together, sirintie them with powder
ed sugar, and leave them ‘for about
halt an hour before they are required,
‘Then dip the pleces {nfo a thick batter
and fry them in a bath of bofling fat.
Place the fritters on paper in front
of’a brisk fire, as they are taken from
the pan, and when all are ready pile
them up on a hot dish covered with a

Jig Dancing Keeps Him Young.
It you wish to become a nonagenar-
fan then dance a little every morning
just before breakfast.
This tonfe 1s advanced by Alter
Sliberman, ninety-one years old, an
inmate of the Home of the Daughters
of Jacob, situated on Tower East
Broadway. Silberman for years has
been dancing from ten to fitteen min-
utes every morning before breakfast.
He deciares that dancing fs the great
est exercise in the world.
“Dancing puts more ambition Into
a man and makes him more cheerful
and happier,” said the white-bearded
patriarch yesterday, after he danced
the “Kotzatski,” which is a famous
Ruselan dance.
Silberman came to this country
years ago. Ho was wealthy at one
time, but lost his fortune in apecula-
tion. He das been at the Home of
thie Daughfers of Jacob for years.
“My advice to the sounger genera-

morning before breakfast and also just’
before retiring,” he said—New York

‘The plans—which bid fair speedily
,to be exccuted—for an automobile
speedyay on Long Island have been
followed with further proposals for
automobile highways from New York
to Lenos, from New York to Tuxedo
and elsewhere. These latter would
uot be specéways for racing, but trne
highways for travel and pleasure
arising. They would, however, be
exclusively for the use of automo-
bites, and on them coubtiess a much
higher rate of speed would be per-
milssitle than on the common roads.
The metalling would be done with a
Urect and sole view to the use and
swear of motor ear wheels, and we as-
‘sume there would be, so-far as pos-
sible, an avoidance of grade crossings.
in-brict, the automobile roeds would
Ue differentiated and separated from
ordinary roads some'vhat as railroads
have long beer.
In this proposal there is much
which Is engaging and whten appeals
to the practical as well as the im-
aginative sense. ‘That ingenious so-
cialist, Mr. G. H. Wells, in one of his
hooks a few years ago, forecast the
construction of just such roads, nu-
smerously radiating from every large
city and connecting all Jmportant
centres of population, as a means of
solving at once the two problems of
residence and transportation in and
about cities. It may be that we shall
cone day come to thet. There can be
Uttle doubt that a broad highway on
which private motor cars and public
‘motor coaches or omnibuses could be
yan at high speed, extending from
New York through the villages along
the Hudson, or up the Bronz Valley,
or along tke Sound, or through the
Oranges, would be largely used. The
present scheme does uot, however, go
as far as that, but contemplates mere-
Ty the construction of a few “rani
Une” motor roads through those re-
sions where automobile travel is
heaviest. There is constantly much |
travel of that sort from New York to
Tnxedo, to Lenox, to Bernardsville,
to Lakewood, to Morristown, to
Greenwich and to other places from
‘thirty to a hundred miles away. It
is a hardship to require such travel~
ers to confine themselves to a rate of
only ten or twelve wiles an hour, and
yet for much and, indeed, most of the
way the roads ran through regicas
where 2 high rate of speed on a com-
mon road is unsafe. And the steady
growth of population and of other
uses of the roads makes it inereasing-
ly dangerous to run fast. |
Jt may well be argued, tlren, that |
with the extensive adoption of a new |
klnd of vehicular traffic a new kivd or
system of roads should be created for
it, Just as was done at the introduc-
tiqn of railroads. ‘There fs necd of
this for the sake of the automobilists
themselves, In order that they may
travel rapidly and enjoy to the full
the advantages of the marvellous ma-
chines which they drive, and for the
sake of the general public, so that |
they may enjoy in safety their or-|
diary use of the common roads. Wo
may add that there is need 6f it for |
the sake of the automobiles and ot |
the roads, for the former are not al-
ways run to the best advantage on
roads which may be quite suitable for
horses, while roads which are ad-
mirable for horses and horse vehictes
are often ruined by the ponderous’
traMe of motor cars. There are, of
course, the questions of room and ex-
pense. In many places there 1s 2m. |
ple room for new roads, and, indeed,
much need of them for the relief of
the present overcrowded highways.
Elsewhere motor roads might be pro-
vided by widening existing roads and
siving half of them to the motors—
just 25 some of onr parkways now
have one road for pleasure vehicles.
one for horseback riding and a third
for business traffic.
‘As for the cost, it would doubtless
be objected that roads for the exclu-
sive use of one class of vehicles
should not be made and maintained
at the expense of the whole public.
We are not sure that that would be
valid, however, since our parks and
speed ways seom to furnish preeedents

the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with -unning sores. In ‘about
six weeks we had her completply well, and
there has been no recurrence of the
trouble.
“In July of this year a little boy in our
family poisoned bis hands and arms with
poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his
hands and arms werg a inass of torturing
sores. "We usel only the Cutieura Rem-

the Cuticuré Soap, and anointing them
with the Cuticura’ Ojntment, ‘and then

of happenings at Dawson City, when
the thermomoter drops many degrees

‘Mr. Parsons told of some instances
whea a frozen foot, ear or hand kad
been thaved by immersion in coal oil
for some tle — otten far several
hours. He said: “This is absolutely
a safe remedy and one thus cscapes
the surgean’s knife, as no bad results
follow. This is not hearsay, for a
man from our camp was found after
he ad been out all night with tho
thermometer fifty degrees below zero,
and both his hands were frozen to the
wrists. He was taken Into camp and
his hands soaked fn coal cll for five
hours, All the frost came out and
not even a finger tip was lost. The
doctors were amazed, as they thought
amputation woulg have to be resorted
to. His hands were as white as mar~

LISTEN, COMPANION!
Ashburn, Ga., Feb. 29, 1907. ,
Editor of The Savannsh’ Tribune?
Please allow me space in your wide
spread journal to say a few words
to the Royal Arch Masons of ‘Georgia,
At the fourth annual convocation
of the Holy Grand Royal Arch €hap-
ter the following acf was adopted:
Whereas, The bureau of endowment
‘ould add strength and vigor to the
craft and instill new life in each com-
panion, Comp. Z C. Solomon mo-
tioned that the Grand High Priest
appoint a committee to formulate
plans by which to gét the bureau of
endowment in operation.
Jn obedience to the call of the
Grand High Priest the Grand Council
met with the committee in King
David's Tabernacle on Cotton avenue,
Macon, Ga,, February 22nd. The meet-
ing was an interesting one, and each
companion was made te rejoice after
hegring the report of the committee.
The committee was, commended for
making such a report.
Comp. C. M, Moon, Grand King, mo-
‘tioned to receive the report by add-
ing such things as would-be neces-
sary. a
Resolved Further, That warranted
Chapters that fall to send in 25 cents
for every companion on their ros-
ter for Grand Chaptcr tax, as re
‘quested, before the sitting of the next
annual convocation, ‘thelr warrants
‘will be of no force, and will be ar-
rested by the Grand High Palest, or
‘a deputy appointed by .him. |
‘There was a special tax of 25 cents
levied on each companion in good
standing. The same must be collected
and sent to the office of the Grand
¥igh Priest at once. All secretaries
and High Priests of Subordinate chap-
ters are requested to sive this their
special attention.
As the Arch Craft must go on to
success, all chapters that fait to make
their report in. 1906 are requested to
send in their Grand Chapter tax to
the office of the Grand Secretary
at once. His address is Ashburn, Ga,
Box 5, **
The. Grand High Priest appointed
the following officers for the. bureau
of endowment: | |

PLAIN FACTS FOR THE LATE
- GRAND JURY.
Some White Men's Attitude Towards’
the Race Clearly Defined.
George S. Halaes, Esq. Late Foreman
Chatham County! Grand Jury, Sa-
yannah, Ga.
Mr. Foreman; ‘The country people
have read with great pleasure certain
extracts ' from the general _present-
ment of the grand jury of Chatham
county. These extracts are, so fill of
suggestion that there is a widespread
desire to have the entire present
ment put in permanent form, so that
posterity may recelve the incalcula-
ble benefits flowing from the novel
recommendations ;contained therein.
How original are the “three great
questions,” “the problem of the Ne-
gto; the reformation of criminal pro-
cedure, and the establishment of a
juvenilp court!” .
Why if it if “we have borne with
the idleness and shiftlessness of the
Negro for upward of 2 generation,”
you do not recommend striking from.
the penal code of Georgia the section |
whick makes it a misdemeanor to so
liclt or procure emigrants?
Did not the inspired source from
which’ your presentment flowed know
that for twenty years, it has been
a criminal offense for an emigrant
agent without payment of $560 H-
cense to solicit 2 Negro to become an
emigrant? Did the inspired source not
‘know that the feeling of.the people
of the country against an emigrant
agent is intense and has resulted, In
more than one instance, in violence?
Why is it that the public nolicy of
the state retains, by most drastic
legislation, the Negro, if he is so shitt-
less and worthless? ‘Dees’ your in-
-splréd scurce suppose that .the Nesto
probleni is solved by this ‘idle and an.
walled for denunciation ‘of a race?

if as you say “the only friend he
(the Negro) has ever had is the South-
ern white man,” docs not your inspir-
ed source realize that it Is a very
poor way of showing frierdship, to
formally present the race as “etre.
grading day by day,” that the suf
frage amendment was an “unparallel-
¢d crime,” that “we have borne with
the shortcomings of the? Negro for
upward of forty years,” that the South
“has fed, clothed hin:," tbat he lacks
“moral appreciation of his contractéd
obligaticns,” that he hay an “incred-
fole sollcltude for the criminals of
his race,” that “the white man no}
pays the wages ead the ‘while wo
man does the work?" +
Is it true that the race is retro-
grading? Was the Negro responsible
fcr his franchise? What were the
shortcomings of the Negro fér up-
ward of forty years? Has not the
Negro contributed by his crude Ia-
bor to feed and clothe not only him-
self, but his employer? We are ur-
der no obligation to feed and clothe
the Negro, and when we uo so it is
because it pays to do it. Is it not
true that by means of the ignorance
of the Negro advantage is often teken
ef Lim, in making and executing con-
tracts? Is not that the reralty which
ignorance must always pay to cupid-
ity? Is it not catural that he should
show solicitude for the criminals
of his race? Do you not know that It
takes less evidence to convict a Negro
‘than It does to convict a white man?
Do you not think a simple state-
ment of fact would have been more
appropriate than such twaddle as is
contained in this phrase; “With cheer-
ful indiscrimination to the seductions
of witches and the recaleitrancy of
bartiyard roosters?" Where did you
get this presentment? You did not
write it? Who wrote it? Who fs re-
sponsible for the “‘syllogistie | gro-
cesses” referred to in this present-
ment? Can'"you define a “syllogistic
process?” Can any twelve of the
grand jurors making this presentment
give an intelligent idea of what they
mean by this phrase?
When, by a “syllogistie process,”
you have informed the public as to the
inspired source from which, through
you as a conduit, the streams of rhet-
orie flowed, we may take the liberty
of making further inquiry as to the
yroposed’ changes in criminal laws
and the organization of a juvenile
coirt.—Effingham, in Meldrim Guidon.
