The slot was caused by a dispute about 5 cents between a Greek employed in the Belmont Greek restaurant, on Sa- Jem avenue, and an American, who went there to buy a sandwich. - Nine places were wrecked on Sa lem avenue, three on Jefferson street, one on Nelson street and one on Rail- road avenue. Five men have been ar- rested and lodged in jail and one of them has been released on $250 bail for his appearance at the hearing of the case in the police court-next Thurs- ‘day. None of the Greeks are under ar- reat. At all of the wrecked places the proprietors set to work Sunday morn- ing cleaning out the debris so as to be ready to resume business, The Groeks have employed counsel to lo0k after their Interests, and have called the attention of the Greek ccnsulate in this country to the affair, ‘While the disturbance was in prog: ress Mayor Joel H. Cutchin, who was fn the street begging the crowds to Aisperse, was struck on the legs and severely bruised by rocks thrown by unknown parties, Flying stones also struck Police Justice J, R, Bryan, Po- ce Sergeant Overstreet and Police- man Manning, King and Evans, and Chief Engiacer John Waggoner of the Central fire department, Waggoner is now on crutches. The fire department was called out to throw water on the erowd, and when the hose was un- wound there were cries of “cut the hose” ang “shoot him,” The mayor ordered the police to guard the. hardware stores to prevent the mob from raiding those places in search of firearms. The larger restau- rants, which were elaborately furnish- ed with infrrors, had thefr interiors demolished. The only Greek places not wrecked were two large confectionery stores run by men not Identified with the restaurant business, United States District Attorney ‘Thomas L. Moore, when asked if he would take any action in the matter of tho rioting, sald that the case is not covered by the federal statutes, as no conspiracy is charged. The pro- cedure would be for the benefit of the offended Greeks to appeal to their gov- ernment, which would then apply to the United States for proper protec- tion, and the Washington government would refer the matter to the govern- ment of Virginla, James D. Johnston, counsel for the Greeks, made the fol- lowing statement: “The Greeks have confidence in the sense of fairness and justice of the people of Roanoke and believe they will be refmbursed for the damage _they have sustained.” . Jn an official statement Mayor Joel H, Cutchin says the. “‘regretable oc- casion of Saturday night, when nine Greek restaurants and three Greek shoe shine parlors, and one or two Syrian shops were attacked and wreck- ed by a mob of several hundred peo- ple, has brought the blush of” shame to every good citizen of Roanoke.” Tho mayor says the riot occurred soon after midnight, when the city was in semi-darkness, the police force of seven men scattered over tha. city without any facility for concentrating them at the scene and that the three offcers nearest the point of attack were unable to cope with the crowd.” Many Magees Mae Mand Ih NIGhAapig . and Murder Case. ‘The wide extent of the Italian plot which caused the kiduaping and sub- sequent strangling of Walter Lamana developed In Tuesday's testimony at Hahnville, La. against the allegea thurderers, In addition evidence that may help to hang Mrs. Campisciano, one of the women: accused, was intro- duced.

Witness Dewey, In Haywood Trial, Makes a Confession “to Help Along Justice"—Two Arrests for Perjury. Sensation followed sensation quickly In the Haywood trial at Bolse, when the state commenced its rebuttal evi- dence. Shortly after court ~adjourned for the day information was sworn to and a warrant for perjury Issiled tn a magistrafe's court against Dr. I. L, McGee, a physician of Wallace, Idaho, who was one of the. witnesses for the defense. ‘The crowded court’ room, somewhat bored by legal commonplace, sprang to strained attention at the close of the afternoon session, when William Dewey, a witness for the state in re- buttal, confessed to active, armed par- ticipation in the destruction of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mills at Wardner on April 29, 1899, when two men ‘were killed and a mob of a thov- sand men partictpated in the riot, , Hary Orchard commenced his series of crimes at Wardner. He confess¢d to lighting one of the fuses that started the explosion, and he swore that WIl- lam Fs Davis, Known among his fel lows as ,“Big Bill,” led the mob. Dewey swore that not only did “Big BU" accompany the mob to Wardner, but that he served out guns and am- mantle to the union men gathered In the unlén hall at Burke before they went fo Wardner, and was one of the leaders of the column that advanced on the concentrator before the work of destruction. commenced: Eight years have now elapsed since that day of rioting. From that time, no eye-witness except Orchard has been found to tell the story or incriminate himself until Dewey, now a resident of Goldfield, Col, made bis confes- sion, With eyés downcast and fingers ner- vously picking the braiding around the im of a gray sombrero, Dewey told it all. Repeatedly, he was requested to raise his voice, and, with a quick glance at counsel, he feplied only to sink back into a most inaudible tone. ‘Under the provocation of a sneering cross-examination by E. F. Richardson, | hg*allled, and even became combative, Dut throughout the recital he gave evidence of a certain remorse. : Under the same cross-examination he told why he had come to Bolse to |-confess at this time after elght yearn of silence. = “What promise of immunity from punishment was given you before you decided to make the ‘confession of crime?” . “What induced you to make this statement now, after all these years?” Were some of Richardson's ques- tlons, “None,” was the laconic reply to the first two questions, but to the last the witness sald: “I read Orchard’s con- fession.” “You say how well dhe was treated here, and decided to get a little of it?” sneered Richardson. “It was nothing of that kind,” re. sponded Dewey quickly. “I thought I ought to help along with the doing of justice." Another warrant charging perjury against a witness, who has testified for the defense, was jssued Monday morn- ing. C. W. Aller, formerly a telo- graph operator and ticket agent at the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad, at Cripple Creek, is charged with the offense. Both Aller and McGee will be given an opportunity to furnish bonds and the preliminary hearing fill be set to take place within the next few ars. — BISHOP NINETY YEARS OLD, ts Patriarch Prelate of Methodist Epls- . copat Denomination, ‘The Right Rey.

Vf Johnson, a, white man, which was hegun Monday at Mon- ‘roe, was continued Tuesday, . Miss Allce Bogan, daughter of the’ sheriff, who was on the stand Monday, resumed her testimony, detailing how the mob broke into the jafl on the plea of having a prisoner to commit, and how they selzed and-held her father, took the keys to Johnson's cell away from him, released Johnson and after tleing him with,ropes, dragged him off down the roag”to ‘the point wHere he was lyuched,”'She posittvely identified several ofthe’ defendants as being members of the mob, The crossexam- ination of Sheriff Bogan, who’was re- called, falléd to shake bis testimony im any particular. He recognizéd many of the membérs of the mob, and call- ed their names. John Jones, against whom the precent case {s directed, was recognized as one of the leaders, Henry D, Kendall, Sr., who turned state's evidence at the preliminary hearing and gave testimony against his fellows of tho lynching mob, and one of the state's strongest rellances, was put on the stand, Kendail told of the meeting at the house of Tom Johnson, in Anson county, on the Sun- day night preceding the. lynching, when the plans to ride to Wadesboro ang lynch J. V. Johnson were perfect- ed. Tho witness, knew all the mem: bers of the party and called “their names. With the others he rode toward Wadesboro and met another crowd from Richmond county, and all pro- ceeded to Wadesboro jail, took the prisoner out and lynched him. The witness’ son was one of the mob.. Kendall's story of the lynching was dramatic in the extreme, He told how they took the prisoner, struggling and praying for mercy, tied him with ropes and dragged him along the road a mile to a point in the woods. 5, William Meeks and H. D. Kendall, ‘Jr, members of the mob, also turned ‘state's evidence ang corroborated the evidence of the elder Kendall, At the conclusion of this testimony the State Tested. ~ Johnson was lynched on the night of May 20, 1906, and the crime for which he was imprisoned was the will- ful murder of his brother-in-law, Chas. Johnson. The governor had called a special term of Anson court fo try jhim a few days before he was lynched. ’ The men are indicted under an anti- lynching act passed by the legislature of 1893, the first adopted by a south- ern state. It provides for the trial of indicted persons in an adjoining coun- ty to that in which the crime was committed, and inadyertently, the law- makers omitted to provide a punish- ment for the crime, At the first trial of these cases in Union, the adjoiniiig county to Anson, last July, the defense moved to duash the indictment, because no punishment was provided, and also that trial in any other county was unconstitutional, ‘The Gourt_ruléd that “the ‘crime could be punished under common law of manslaughter, but allowed the other motion. Recently the supreme court ruled that the act was constitutional, and Governor Glenn at ‘once called the present special term of Union court to try the cases. Three of the defend- ants left the state, and have not been apprehended. If convicted the maxl- mum punishment under common law 1s twenty years imprisopment. | a es FOUR DAGOES ON TRIAL, Members of “Black Hand” Arraigned for Kidnaping and Murder. ‘The jury which will try three men and a woman for the murder of little Walter Lamana was completed at Hahnville, Louisiana, Monday. Many talesmen were excused because they objected to bringing a verdict which might mean the angling of the“woman prisoner. Owing to the fact that this trial is expected to furnish an example which will check Italian blackmailing, great care was exercised ta secure the most intelligent class of ‘jurymén.

In some manner, as yet unexplained, two bags of powder be- canie ignited, and in the terrific flash that followed the entire turret crew, consisting of three officers and elgh- teen men, were enveloped in fire, and received horrible burns, one officer and five men dying before the ship reached port, "Four other men received minor in- Juries, whose ‘ames were not given out, and who were not taken off the ship. Those killed were; Caspar Good- rich, Neutenant, die at hospltal atter being removed from ship; Wililam F. Pair, ordinary seaman, also died at the nayat hospital; Willtani J. Thatcher, chief turret captain; Faulkner Gold- thwaite, midshipman; W. J. Burke, G. G. Hamilton, W. H. Thomas, George E. Miller, ordinary seamen, The explosion occurted in the after turret, where the men, under com- mand of Lieutenant Caspar Goodrich, son of Rear Admiral Goodrich, com- mandant of the New York yavy yard, and Midshipmen Goldthwaite and John T. Cruse were operating the eight-inch guns. ‘Tho guns in the forward turrets had finished elght rounds of practice, and the guns of the after turret had fired bne round. Two cases, ad the big 100- pound bags sf powder are called, had just been sent through the ammunition hoist, and were in the arms of the loader, whose name was withheld by the ship's officers. , The loader stood at the breach of one of the elghtinch guns, ready_to Ansert the charge. At this instant the turret was seen to be amoky and two men, who stood near the loader, saw a black spot om the bag, indicating that the charge #e fgnited and was smouldering. The foader discovered the spot at the same instant, and threw himself forward on his face, at the same time shouting a warting to his turret mates, The other men, who had seen the shot, were Erich and Hansen, and they also threw them- selves on the floor of the tiirret, Before the other men in the turret could un- derstand what caused the loader’s ery of warning, there was a blinding flash, as the burning powder exploded. Flames, smoke and nauseous gases fill- gd the little superstructure in which more than a store of men were con- fined, As, the powder was not confin- ed, theré was no report, nor did the vessel suffer any injury, but every nook and cranny of the turret was filléd with flames. : ‘The leader, who was, of course, near- est the ‘powder, was terribly burned, aa was every other man in the turret, with the exception of Elrich and Han- sen, who, althqugh scorched, escaped with injuries much less severe, that the others, When the smoke oftthe burning pow- ‘der had cleared away the shpmates of thie unfortunate mén rushed to thelr assistance, and the suffering sallors were lifted out of the fire-blackened turre:, and were quickly conveyed” to the ship's hospital, where their burns ‘were dressed by the surgeons. * In the, meantime Lieutenant? Good- rich and Seaman Maleeck had been Yescued by a launch that was return- ing from an Inspection of the, target. ‘The surgical staft of the Georgia was soon reinforced by the surgeons of the other vessels in the fiéet, who had been informed of the accident and summoned to the scene: DEFIES FEDERAL JUDGE, Governor of North Carolina * Ignores * pritchard’s Injunction and Proceeds: ” to Enforce New Rate Law.

To God, to God, —By Arthur Christopher Benson, from The Daily Mail (London). Jane Is a Very Determined Person and Resolved Not to Be Robbed, but I am a Man of Strategy--Our Experiment with Chickens and the Results. --- Jane is very determined; almost too much; in fact, I often tell her so; or at least I often used to tell her so. But when a lady is constitutionally determined—not that Jane is obstinate; I do not want to say that for a moment—but, as I say, when a lady is constitutionally determined, telling her so amounts to little, if anything; if, indeed, it is not a mistake altogether. Now I am fond of eggs; not in the way of affection, you will understand, but as a matter of diet. Ever since I can remember I have had two peached eggs for my breakfast every morning, but Jane, being very determined—not, I repeat, that Jane is obstinate; I cannot make that too plain; in fact, I admire Jane for her determination; but I keep this as a secret so that Jane will not become conceived—but Jane, I say again, being very determined, brought me three morsels of sausage for my breakfast about a month ago, and put the plate in front of me with such an air that I swallowed my surprise and ate the sausage. This was my strategy. As I look back upon it I recall now that I ate the three morsels of sausage with meekness and sadness, and when Jane brushed my hat that morning and started me off to the office I sighed but said nothing. This also was my strategy. Not that I considered it strategy at the time; except as I might have done so in an unconscious sort of way; but all the same it was that subtle kind of strategy that born in man from a wish to let James have their own way in everything (being, after all, only women) and which is—and I speak only after experience and thought—the only way to deal with matters of the sort. "I will not be robbed," said Jane, quite unexpectedly to me that evening, adding, "I will not be robbed." I said nothing, which was my strategy again. "And when they go up from 38 to 42 cents a dozen at one jump," said Jane, "I draw the line." Adding, "Yes, sir, I draw the line." "Eggs?" said I. "Eggs," said Jane. Adding— "And that's all there is to it "There's as much meat in an egg." I began, "as there is in a quarter of a pound of—" "I don't believe it," said Jane. "I never have, from a child." "But sausage," I began again. Jane took up the cudgels for sausage with such spirit that I abandoned that, and said no more. The next morning I had three more morsels of sausage for my breakfast. I ate two and (when Jane was out of the room for a moment) I seized the third let firmly in my handkerchief and placed it in my pocket. (Jane likes to see a clean plate). Before I left the house that morning I ran up to the spare room and put the sausage in the bureau drawer. I was afraid to throw it away on such short notice, for I knew that unless the thing was carefully thought out and accomplished, Jane would know—I cannot tell you how, but she would know—that I had thrown the sausage away. So I went about the matter circumspecly, and didn't burn my bridges behind me, for if the worst come to the worst, I could still claim that I had eaten the sausage, then sneak up to the spare room and eat it, and have my conscience clear. The next morning I hid two more pieces; by Saturday night there were nine choice morsels in the bureau drawer, and on Sunday morning the storm broke. I have seen the time when I would have eaten it before the display reached such proportions, but when Jane came into the dining room on Sunday morning with nine warmed-up morsels on my plate, I started on it with a sigh. Jane let me finish it—Jane is just and prides herself upon her fair play—and then remarked: "I will not buy another egg until prices go down. I won't be robbed," adding, "not by anybody." "But why should they go up?" I said. "That's it," said Jane. "There's no reason at all. Farmers grow their corn just the same, and chickens hatch and grow and lay their eggs just the same, and if that farmer who brings our eggs thinks he can impose on me, I'll show him different." That night I had the doctor, the next day Jane had a chicken coop built, and on Tuesday morning we had eleven chickens and a rooster on our property. All would have been as merry as a wedding bell, in fact, except for one trifling omission: the chickens didn't lay. On Wednesday morning I-breakfasted on a leather medal which Jane referred to (for purposes of identification) as a "chop," and on Wednesday evening I brought home a book entitled "The Poultry Fancier's Friend." "Well?" said Jane, after I had read "Well?" said Jane, after I had read the book through. "Oyster shells," said I, putting on my hat. It is surprising what a demand there is for oyster shells. I had always supposed that oyster shells were a waste product of the oyster, fit for nothing but to be thrown away. But if anybody wants to find out a few facts about the value of oyster shells, let him go out and buy a dozen from the sea-food man from whom Jane gets her Friday fish. We cracked the shells in a newspaper with a hammer and Jane (liking to work with tools) cracked a few roots of ginger and made a pot of ginger tea. We threw the shells into the coop, had a good drink of ginger tea, and went to bed. No eggs. "I'll run them around," said Jane, "that makes them lay." "The book says it is bad for them." "The book says it is bad for them." "That's what we did when I was a girl," said Jane; "just ran them around. You take foolishness from a hen and she'll impose on you. But if they can see that you mean to be the boss—" Jane stopped, but added: "You just have to take the upper hand of a hen." "The book says, that little bits of meat, cut up—" "I've got, some sausage left," remarked Jane. Sausage they had, and curry, and powders from the man who sold me the "Poultry Fancier's Friend," while all the time Jane snorted (in a very delicate way, of course), and gradually worked herself up to a pitch. Yes, if ever sowls were pampered, it was our eleven hens and our one rooster, but on one point they were indomitable: they wouldn't lay. There was a speckled hen, on whose manner I began to build hopes and to whom I showed particular attention in the way of choice bits of oyster shells and the like, but one morning when I was giving this fowl her daily medicine she broke away, ran to the rooster and pecked him cruelly, ran to the other hens and pecked them, cackled in a ferocious manner, scratched gravel and flew up in my face. I just escaped with my life, ran into the house and told Jane. "What did you let her do it for?" asked Jane. "She was in a temper," I said. "That's what comes of pampering them!" exclaimed. Jane. She put something on her head and glanced at the clock. "Where are you going?" I said. "I am going to . . . run . . . them . . . round!" said Jane, and out she went. I stayed in. When Jane is like that she doesn't want to be bothered; but five minutes later, when I looked out (although, as a rule, Jane doesn't like me to look out) and saw her standing just outside the chicken coop door as if she was going to stand there forever, I went out too. "What's the matter?" I asked, look in the empty "run" for the hens. "You go in," said Jane, in her most determined manner. "I'm giving these chickens just five minutes." I went in, and at the end of the five minutes Jane disappeared into the chicken coop and came out bearing two eggs in each hand. "I'll teach them!" cried Jane. Adding: "And all the others are on the nest, too!"—New York Evening Sun. Consulting Authorities. Some time since a new baby arrived at a home in this city, and when Johnny, the little 5-year-old brother, was sent on an errand to one of the neighbors a few days afterward the good lady, of course, had to make the usual remarks about the gladful event. "I understand, Johnny," said she, "that you have a little baby at your house." "Yes, ma'am," was the pleased reply of Johnny. "He has been there nearly four days now." "Well, when he gets older you must bring him over to see me," returned the neighbor lady. "By the way, has he been named yet?" "No, ma'am," answered the youngster, "but I guess there will be something doing pretty soon, for when I left father was looking over the list of presidents, mother was going through the Bible and the nurse was hunting around in a history of the United States."—Scranton Republican, Telephone Fright- "Telephone fright," said a man who has been accustomed to speaking in public, "seems to be akin to stage fright, but immunity to one does not make a person immune to the other. "Most of my telephone talk has always been done for me by one-one in the office, and when I occasionally go to the phone and attempt to carry on a conversation with a wooden box I feel like a schoolboy who has mounted the stage to speak his piece and has forgotten it. I usually fall to remember half what I wanted to say, or get it wrong, and I have to get somebody to call up the party again and straighten it out"—New York Sun. W hat 'Cared She?

The brethren are still elated over the endowment system and are asking for information which is readily and gladly given. "It is a blessed thing these hot nights to have a short meeting of the lodge. In fact, the meetings should be made so at all times. By doing so the brethren would take pleasure in attending. We must paint the widows and orphans' home from the first floor to the room. The action of the grand lodge in requesting each lodge to forward $2 to the grand secretary for this purpose was a timely one. The lodges must comply with the orders of the grand lodge and forward this amount immediately, so that this much-needed improvement can be made. Like our jurisdiction, that of South Carolina is peculiarly blessed by having an excellent grand master. It was our pleasure to meet him for the first time last week, and he immediately made the impression as being a Mason full of earnestness and a desire for upbuilding along the Masonic lines. Like our own beloved grand master, Butler, he is doing much to upbuild his jurisdiction and to stamp out the compacters. The members of Covenant Lodge No. 187, located at Summit, turned out on the fifth Sunday in June and celebrated St. John's day. We met at the hall and marched to Rountree Chapel Baptist Church, and had a soul-stirring sermon by Revs. R. D. Dickerson, a member of our lodge, and Rev. U. S. G. Rhyne. After the collection was taken we retired to the hall, where we all enjoyed refreshments. The worshipful master, H. M. Mobley, spoke to the brothers' wives about working up the Eastern Star chapters. They will meet the second Saturday to organize the Eastern Star. Our best and most true friend and brother Mason is one who, concealing our faults from others, reveals them to us in fraternal spirit and brotherly love. We aim at great things and pass by little. We are constantly on the stretch for splendid opportunities and neglect those which are in our everyday reach. Masonry relies on quality and not quantity of its brotherhood. Its firmest support is found in the happy choice of its initiates, not in the frequency of its initiations. It is one thing to see that a candidate is physically prepared for the ceremonies through which he is to pas; it is quite another to be certain that his mind is properly prepared to receive the instructions which are to follow. It is not a question of how much a man knows about Masonry, but what use he can make of what he knows about Masonry. Not a question of what he has acquired and how he has been trained, but of what he is and what he can do. The grand chapter O. E. S. meets in Americus, Tuesday, August 20th, at 9 a. m. Representatives from each of the chapters are expected to be present. The session will be an interesting and profitable one. Brethren wanting information about the organization of the O. E. S. chapters can write the grand patron at Savannah. The call on the members of the Order of the Eastern Star is for well-doing today. They have all the good to do that they can accomplish. Let all, then, take up the order's banner and bear it forward. Let them exemplify the Master's and the heroine's nobleness and excellence today. The kind word and the fraternal act are essential. To some the way is rugged and cheerless. Faith and hope are tried. Encouragement, and inspiration are needed. The flowers of friendship and brotherly love are requisite. Let them be bestowed today. Tomorrow may be too late. Today is the time to exercise the order's beneficent and refining influence, to practice its virtues, and the more fervently and zealously that duty is performed the greater will be the success and the brighter the star in the crown of well-doing. Some of the well-doing may be misjudged and reviled; but that will not excuse loitering nor idling. The Master endured contumely and persecution, but persevered and gained the victory over sin and death. "His star in the cast" is brilliant today and its light will never fall. Humble the order of the Eastern Star reflects that light, and its well-doing brightens homes, cheers the distressed and saves spills. May it ever heed the call for well-doing.—Ex. THE TROWEL Take the trowel in thy hand, Use it for a purpose high, To enact a temple grand, 'Neath the blue Masonic sky. And to blind the stones secure, In the edifice you raise, Spread a cement strong and pure, That will long outlast your days. In this temple that you make, Emblem of the one above, Use alone, for Hilram's sake, Cement of brotherly love. This cement will well unite All the stones the builders pass, If we do our duty right.

Georgian Touched by Gay Girl in Gotham—Part of Loot Recovered. A New York dispatch says: Julius L. Brown, a practicing lawyer of Atlanta, Ga., who has been attending the Knights Templar convention at Saratoga, reported to the police of the tenderloin station Saturday that he had been robbed of $12,090 worth of stick pins and $180 in money by a woman whom he met on Broadway during the afternoon. Mr. Brown, who is 60 years old, and a son of the late Governor Joseph E. Brown of Georgia, said he struck up an acquaintance with the woman, and she invited him around to her apartments at 152 West Thirty-seventh street. To collect stick pins is Mr. Brown's hobby. He has a collection of them which has cost him many thousands of dollars. It was part of that collection which was stolen. He had brought twenty-five along with him to show his friends at the convention. The police soon had four persons under arrest. These gave their names as Frankie Goodwin, Lottie Brown, Rose Edwards and her husband, John Edwards. All had been arrested at the house in West Thirty-seventh street, where the robbery is supposed to have taken place. Sunday morning Mr. Brown appeared in the Jefferson Marke: police court to push the case against the four prisoners. The Goodwin woman was released, but the three other prisoners were held in $5,000 each for a hearing. Mr. Brown identified Rose Edwards, who might pass as a Spaniard, as the woman who took him to the house in West Thirty-seventh street. Her husband is a negro as black as night. Mr. Brown told the police that the woman whom he had met had a long scar on her. When the Edwards woman was examined by the police matron the scar was found, and when Mr. Brown saw her afterwards he identified her. Edwards keeps a restaurant in the basement of the house at 68 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street. He confessed to the police that his wife had taken the jewels. He took the officers to his restaurant, where the jewels were found secreted over a rafter. Only twelve of the pins were left in the case. The jewels recovered include the most valuable ones in the collection. Among them was a $7,000 cat's eye. The showy diamonds were all misleng. It was said by some acquaintances of Edwards that the latter was a thirty-third degree mason of the colored order. Mr. Brown is also a thirty-third degree Mason. Neither, however, was observed to make the high sign to the other in court. A METHODIST CATHEDRAL. Southern Church Plans Great Structure at Washington. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has undertaken to build in Washington a national church which shall be in effect a cathedral of the denomination. It is said that a commodious site has already been purchased by the Methodists. The building is to cost $275,000, of which amount the local Mount Vernon church is to raise $75,000 and the denomination at large the remainder. FARM AND STOCK -YARD Culling Out Old Hens. Two years is the orthodox age when hens should be culled out and sold or killed, where they are kept chiefly for egg production, and this should be done as soon as they slacken laying and before the molt comes on; otherwise they will lose weight and become unsalable except at a reduced figure. Stay on the Farm. A farmer who sells out as old age approaches and goes to town to live, generally makes a mistake. So long as a man is living on his own farm he is respected in the community. He is made to feel that, he is one of the substantial men and is welcome everywhere, but when he moves to town he is classed with the pinching, penurious sort, who haven't a dollar to spend and are of no use to themselves or the community. Men don't get old like they used to; it isn't fashionable any more.—Farm Press. How to Carry a Fowl. It is frequently necessary to carry a fowl from one place to another on the farm, or among the different yards. The most common way is to pick it up by the legs and carry it with the head hanging down. This is the easiest for the poultryman, but is no doubt for the poultryman, but is no doubt, quite as uncomfortable for the fowl as it would be for a human being. The Farming Journal prints an item upon this subject which is illustrated by a cut showing the proper way to hold the fowl. We cannot reproduce the cut but it is easily explained by a few words. Simply take the fowl under the arm, with the head facing backwards, the arm around the body holding down the wings and the hand grasping the legs tightly above the feet. Hold in this way the fowl is grasped so firmly that it has no chance to struggle, and yet is in a comfortable position. Try it the next time that you have occasion to carry a fowl from one yard to another. Concentration of Labor on Farms. According to the manner in which it may be employed, labor pays best on the farm. When farmers are annually busy at work in the production of crops the saving of one percent in the cost of production amounts to a large sum and the annual loss to the farmer from misapplied labor is much greater than can be estimated. Not only is too much labor applied in some directions and very small amounts given elsewhere, but the times of doing so are not right, to say nothing of the final results upon the crops. Success or failure have resulted not wholly from the large or the small amount of labor applied, but, according to the skill and judgment in performing the work at the proper time and in the right manner. Farmers do not always take into consideration the propriety of curtailing the area to be cultivated, by which means they would be enabled to supply more plant food to the limited space and at the same time save a vast amount of labor. It is not as economical to grow thirty bushels of wheat on two acres as it is to produce twenty bushels on one acre, for, while in one case the farmer secures an extra ten bushels, by reason of cultivating more land for that purpose, yet he has been compelled to perform, twice as much work and to spread his manure over double the area of surface. There should be no more land put under cultivation than can be properly fertilized for it is much better to have one acre of strong vigorous plants than two acres of plants improperly provided, as it requires just as much cultivation, seeding and hauling for the inferior crop as for the better one.—The Epitomist. Setting Fruit Trees Thorough preparation of the soil is absolutely necessary; deep plowing and careful cultivating being done to get the land in a perfect state of tilth. As the impetus given the tree at the start largely determines its future, no pains should be spared to give it all the advantages possible. The holes for the trees should be least three feet square and two feet deep, of equal diameter at the top and bottom. The bottom should be level and mounted rather than disked. The depth is slightly more than where the roots come. This permits of a free circulation of air and moisture, lessens the danger of drowning or drying out, and leaves a space between the roots and the hard subsoll to be filled in with soft, friable loam. On seating out the tree it should be carefully trimmed with a pair of pruning shears. If a couple of shovelfuls of well-rotted manure is put in the bottom of the hoie and then covered with a little loam before the tree is set, it will provide sufficient nourishment to give it a good start. After the excavation is partly filled, the soil is firmed down as it is added with a tamper or by treading. In packing the soil around the roots, avoid the common practice of joucing the tree up and down, holding it by the stem. It is desirable to mound up the soil slightly after filling. This allows for settling and carries away water which might otherwise stand too close to the tree. . . If much of the root system is cut off, a corresponding part of the top must be sacrificed to compensate for the lessened feeding capacity of the tree —R. S. Adams, in the Cultivator. Carrots for Horses. Carrots are so seldom advised in relation to stock feeding that it might almost be thought they were of little or no value as a food for stock, whereas the opposite is the case. For horses more particularly carrots are highly beneficial. It has often puzzled me why carrots are not more grown and offered for sale. A comparatively small quantity change hands for culinary purposes at prices which are decidedly remunerative, and in excess of all other roots, but for stock feeding they are hardly to be found. On some soils it would be a mistake to attempt carrots, but where the soil is pliable and deep, no crop is more easily grown, and if a big supply was put on the market their disposal would be easy and prices good. For home use a heap of carrots is most acceptable, as all kinds of stock consume them greedily with good res- Carrots are often looked on as a kind of delicate food for skek horses. If a horse is out of sorts and off his feed, refusing almost everything and eating with the greatest indifference, and carrots are offered, they are eaten at once with much appreciation. They help to restore the appetite and give condition to the horse. In these respects carrots are invaluable, and may well be looked on as safe correctives, but their usefulness extends beyond the period of sickness and depression, and horses in health may receive them frequently as a good food to maintain condition and activity. When first given their effect is a little laxative, but that is desired in many cases, and once given regularly, they act as qualifying food. They are an excellent food for itchy horses, and all in bad coat, as they are cooling to the blood and give a glow to the hair. Horses of all ages may receive them, including even the youngest backward foals. Carrots should not be looked on as mere additions to other foods, but substitutes for them, as they are quite capable of acting as a real food. They should be pulped and mixed with grain or chaff. Half a bushel a day is a good allowance. Cows, sheep and pigs are all fond of carrots, but as they impart special benefits to the horse, he should be the first served.—W. R. Gilbert, in Boston Cultivator. Farm Notes. Well-laid plans save tired muscles. Get into the habits of doing things right. Currycomb the cabbage patch with a rake. Ten hens in a house 10x10 feet is about right. The good grade cow is all right, but avoid the grade sire. If facts are really facts, they are better than theories on the farm. Early chicks, early broilers, early eggs—that is how poultry pays. Look after weak places in the fences and thus avoid neighboring quarrels. Early-hatched pullets are equivalent to early winter layers. It's high time to get busy. To watch the growth of plants, trees and animals is one of the simplest and best farm pleasures. Pure breeds not only look better, but also give more eggs and better meat than fowls of all kinds and colors. Feed is more important than breed, and sometimes the way the feed is fed is more important the the feed. Ten days or two weeks is the length of time usually required after a male bird is put with a flock of hens until the eggs will do for hatching. The advice "get out of the ruts" only applies to farmers who can see for themselves. A blind horse is better off in the well-worn track. The best way to keep fowls free from lice is to keep the poultry house clean, have proper ventilation and have handy dust baths composed of road dust to which sulphur has been added. The quickest way to kill a corn crop is to work the soil when it is too wet. This leaves the soil in bad shape to cultivate and it bakes and dries out just when the moisture is most needed. Hens which are to be breeders must rest most of the time during the winter. They may not lay many eggs during the winter, but will make profitable breeds and quiet mothers when spring comes. THE present day restrictions should the more cause us to stick closer together. THERE is no question about Georgia becoming a dry state. The days of licensed bar-rooms will soon be terminated. WHENEVER a certain ilk of white men wants to gain prominence he jumps on the Negro. Without this subject many of them would be snugly resting in innocuous desuetude. Vigorous protest will be made by leading colored men of the State to the legislature against the passage of the disfranchisement bill. Of the thousands of dollars spent for the necessities of life in this city each week by our people, there is no reason why at least one half of the amount cannot be spent with colored men. BISHOP TURNER has offered to wager a thousand dollars that Pitch Fork Tillman and Gov. Vardaman would be unable to make a speech if the word "Negro" is omitted. We agree with the bishop. We are sorry to note that the report of Gov. Vardaman having been converted is incorrect. he governor will be the same Td blatherskite as before olaint the colored man. PREPARE to vote against the disfranchisement bill. Go and register at once. Those who are not voters should save money, pay their tax so that they can register and vote for manhood rights. In North Carolina several persons accused of being members of a lynching party are on trial. From the evidence submitted some of them may be convicted. This should have an excellent effect for law and order. The National business League convenes in Topeka Kansas, Aug. 14th. This organization under the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington is adding quite an incentive for Negro business development. WHILE restrictive laws are being enacted against us, let us the more vigorously go to work for the betterment of every phase of our condition. Save more money, secure more property and educate our children. THE National Association of Negro Teachers convenes at Hampton Institute, Va., August 1 and 2. There are two Georgians on the well prepaired program. Prof. L. S. Clark, Princi pal of K Alice tute, Athens and Miss of Dugged Carey, professor Colpedagogy, Morris Brownlege, Atlanta. THE disfranchisement bill has been introduced in the legislature, and will come up for consideration and passage next Tuesday in the senate. The Hoke Smith administration is wedded to its passage. Like the prohibition bill, it may undoubtedly pass. The members of the legislature may think that they are hurting the colored voters by enacting such an illegal law, but they are not. It will only give the young colored men an incentive to educate themselves and acquire more property. THEBE are many bills introduced in the legislature that affects the well being of our people in this State, many of them quite nonsensical. The disfranchisement bill has been introduced, so has the bill to tax secret societies, to prevent white persons teaching colored children, to compel circus managers to have two tents at performances, one for white and the other for colored people, etc. Look out for the next bill, requiring the colored people to breathe a different air than the whites. Hampton's Progress. About a month ago the Merchants and Miners Transportation Co., ordered fourteen hand trucks from Hampton Institute. These trucks were made by the students. So well pleased were the, officials of the company with the trucks that an order for five hundred more was given. This speaks well for Hampton and its students. ^ Beach Graduates and Under Gradutes to Meet. A meeting of the graduates and under graduates of the Beach Institute will be held at the Chapel of the Beach on Monday evening July 29th, at 8:30 o'clock to organize an association. All persons concerned are earnestly asked to be present. Savannah Delegates Pleased The Savannah delegation to the K. of P. Grand Lodge, and Grand Court of Calanthe, returned home well pleased over the results in each of these grand bodies. All of the officers of the Grand Lodge were reelected, and new ones in the places of those who were out. The re-election of Mr. F. M. Cohen as secretary and treasurer of the endowment board was hailed with delight by all of his friends. The election of Gen'l Chas. D. Creswill was conceded long before the grand lodge session and none of his friends gave themselves any uneasiness about him. His wise administration, impartial rulings and honest dealings have added many new friends and admirers to his list. The most animated contest was that for Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Grand Court. Savannah was solid for the reelection of its beloved, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, and its delegates left no stone unturned to see that she was re-elected. Soon after the gathering of the delegates it was ascertained that Mrs. Barnes was the favorite and this was manifested by the very large majority that she received. Mrs Barnes is an able leader. She took charge of the Grand Court when its affairs were at a low ebb and today it is the leading auxiliary organization in the country. Following are the officers. G. W. C., Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Savannah, G. W. In'x, Mrs. U. Collus, Augusta. * G. W. I., Mrs. Emma C. Glaze, Amer- cus. G. W. S. D., Mrs V. Fletcher, Macon. G. J. D., Miss G. B. Ayers, Arabia. G. R. of Duesd, Mrs.-M. S.

The session was held four days. A large delegation was present. The meeting was held at the Spring Hill Baptist Church, Rev. L. T. Tyson, pastor. The Sunday School Convention met at the same place. The meeting was one of the best ever held by the association, religiously and financially. The people of the locality was hospitable and did everything to make the delegates feel welcome. Those people cannot be too highly commended, especially the captains of the boats who carried the delegates to Spring Hill. The next session will be held in Savannah in 1908 with the Macedonia Baptist Church, Rev. J. B. Miller, pastor. The following officers were elected: Rev John Williams, D. D., Moderator; Rev. J. S. Irbay, Vice Moderator; Rev. P. M. Hunter, Treasurer; Des. L. A. Washington, Clerk; Rev. J. W. Carr, D. D., chairman executive board. Following are the officers of the Sunday School Convention: Rev. P. M. Hunter, President; Miss Nancy Houston, Vice President; Mr. Ed. Humes, clerk; Miss Ruth Williams, Treasurer. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church Progress is still attending our ranks. The rain cut the communion services short Sunday, however a fair crowd attended and several members were fellowshipped by the pastor. Rev. Dr. Curtright assisted the pastor in the services. Rev. J. H. May, D. D., Deacon P. H. Noble, Rev. W. W. Warthen and Brother B. J. Houston were elected messengers to represent the church in the Barsen Association at St. John's next week.

Everybody cordially invited. Minister's Union. The Evangelical Union met as usual at St. Phillip's A. M. E. Church Rev. J. A. Lindsay in the chair. Devotional services conducted by Rev. L. W. McMillan, As the secretary was still absent Rev. B. S. Haanah acted in his stead. The Union was blessed with two good sermon outlines from Rev. R. H. Robinson and Rev. R. V. Branch. The brethera received them with commendations and helpful criticism. Revs. R. M. S. Taylor, B. S. Haanah and that other disciple took part in the great discussions which followed. The brethera of the Union voted to keep the meeting going through the summer. Therefore the ministers will not have the usual vacation this year as heretofore. The "Union" is the great center where the progressive ministers meet once a week and interchange ideas and views. Those who do not come are missing something that will tell on them in the near future. Les brotherly love continue. St. Phillip's Dots. The members and friends of St. Phillips had the pleasure of having an excellent discourse from Rev. C. W. Newton D. D., ex-pastor of St. Phillip who is in the city on a visit. Rev. Newton is a pulpit orator of no mean ability and every one who heard him was benefited. At the close of the services Rev. Newton was complimented on his sermon. At 8 p. m. Rev. Johnson of Statesboro, who is in attendance at the Sunday School Convention, preached. Rev. Johnson is destined to be a great preacher. He is a young man and is making an impression where ever he is heard. The Sunday School Convention of the West Savannah district which was in session at St. Phillips last week closed on Sunday after having quite a successful session. Rev. C. W. Newton ex-pastor of St. Phillip was the guest of Rev. Lindsay last week and attended the session. The remarks of Rev. Newton to the convention were timely and beneficial. The third quarterly conference of St. Philip was held on Monday night, Rev. R. M. Taylor, presiding. Every department show by reports that they are in excellent condition which is a credit to the present administration. We had several visitors in the persons of Revs McMillan, Newton and several other ministers from out of the city.

Many have been bought and many have been given by interested friends, white and colored, and the management of the library take this opportunity of thanking all of those who have so kindly given and assure them of the great good they are doing. During the year too, that has just come to an end, many friends both white and colored have given of their means for the support of the library. We also thank those.

According to all accounts this custom is dying out, and the modern young Japanese lady plays lawn tennis and devotes herself to the study of Western customs.-Japan Chronicle. Heading Off a Visit. A woman who used to visit in Erie often was married not long since and moved to the city. A few weeks ago one of the girls whom she used to visit wanted to make a trip into the city and wrote her former friend that she expected to visit her while there, and in the return mail received a reply something like this: "My Dearest Emily: John and I will be delighted to have you call on us while you are here and I do want you to arrange so that you can take at least one meal with us. There's a perfectly lovely hotel right near here, where you can stop quite reasonable. From your very dearest friend, EUNICE."—Erie (Kan.) Record. How to Clean Ribbons. Wet the ribbon in cold water, then put it in a basin of soapy, hot water and let it soak. When the water has cooled to about blood heat, remove the ribbon from the water and stretch it upon a table—a marble top table is best if handy: if not, spread a clean cloth on any smooth surface and use it—having the ribbon perfectly smooth. Then take a whisk broom or a brush and clean the ribbon, brushing it with the grain, but never squeezing, or crumpling the ribbon. After turning it and brushing it well, using plenty of water until all dirst is removed, brush it well with cold water. Then put the ribbon in clear water, lifting it up and down, but being careful not to squeeze it. Rinse through one water after another to remove all trace of soap, and spread out smoothly in the sun to partly dry. When almost dry place evenly and smoothly between two cloths and iron with a warm iron until dry.—New York Mall. For Girl Stenographers. A girl who wishes a position as stenographer has a good chance for employment - during the summer months, as there are frequent advertisements for substitutes for regular clerks, away on a vacation. Such work must, at the best, be but temporary, but capable girls sometimes get steady positions in this way who have tried in vain for an opening during the busy season. Being mainstaking, they made a good impression on their temporary employer, who mentioned to some friend that he had a fine substitute, and his friend, needing, or knowing some one who did, a stenographer, was glad to give her employment. Another excellent chance for a girl who is sure of her speed is, to call at the office of the machine she is familiar with or in the habit of using, and take an examination of her speed. If this is, satisfactory, there may be immediate employment in the office, or her name will be put on the eligible list, and when applications are made for stenographers—as they often are in such offices—she will be recommended. Housekeeper. Where French Phrases Survive No longer may the French word take the place of the English word, no matter how proscale may seem the latter. We know that it is vulgar to have a bete noir instead of a pet aversion, and better to say that John is a "bad lot" instead of a mauvais suet. All the dalty French words were once considered as ornamental to a woman as her pln curls or lovelocks were. But now one must know enough to converse entirely in French without a word of English, or else never use a single French phrase. In dressmaking establishments and in restaurants the French words will, however, die hard, though Americans, no doubt, would gladly welcome 'an Anglo-Saxon bill of fare. At the dressmaker's one really prefers the French words, even though when mingled with chat that is typical New Yorkese. Where have we words delicate enough for the fuzzy white things beloved by the bride? No doubt it is best to call a spade a spade. But when made of hand-embroidered linen with delicious ruffles at neck and wrist, who can call "it" a dressing sack?—From Town and Country. Woman and Suffrage That' is really all woman wants to know, "If it be love indeed"—then she has her "suffrage." She 'can rule her slave for good or bad. She governs man, and through him she governs the world. And the "Tell me how much" is a naturally feminine attempt to find out the limit of her power from her lover's own lips, knowing all the time that he will tell her there is no limit at all. She is sure of her triumph. And so I have already ventured to assert, all clever women are sure. They want no audible voice in politics, in as much as they can, if they choose, silently work the whole business behind the scenes. Stupid womens clamor about their "rights," evidently unaware, that in the very force of the clamor they are throwing all "rights" away. The clever woman sits at home—and like a meadow spider spreads a pretty web of rose and gold, spangled with dew. Flies—or men—tumble in by scores—and she holds them all prisoners at her pleasure with a silken strand as fine as a hair. Nature gave her at her birth the rights to do this, and if she does it well, she will always have her web full. But her weaving must not be to hold the flies—i.e., to influence men—solely for her own amusement and satisfaction; she must learn to take a wider outlook and use her "limitless" powers for the benefit and betterment of the world. Marie Corelli, in Harper's Bazar. To Give Lace the Hue of Age Now that the real old lace is the rage, and comparatively few women are lucky enough to own any, there is a demand for a process by which modern laces may be made to have the real "old" color. Out of the South come all sorts of old-fashioned ideas. An elderly Southern woman, hearing the complaint of a New Yorker that hardly any of her "old" lace really looked the part, gave a recipe for making new lace look old, which she says has never failed in producing the right color. "The whole secret," said she, "lies in a newspaper. We Southern women used to put away our fine laces at the beginning of summer to keep them nice for the social campaign of the following winter. "We would cut strips of newspaper a trifle wider than the lace, to be tinted and carefully sew the eliges of the lace to the paper. Then we would make a roll of newspaper about as thick as an ordinary mailing tube and roll our lace trimmed newspaper strips around this with perfect smoothness. "Next we would wrap the whole in blue paper and seal up the ends. In the course of two or three months our lace would have the most perfect 'old' look you ever saw. A hundred years couldn't bring about any better results than a newspaper properly put on. "I know all about the coffee tint and tea tint and dyes, but nothing can ever equal newspaper as coloring material for lace where one wants to wear 'heirloom' lace bought about two months ago."—New York Sun. First Social Worker. Social settlements are not the novelty this vain-glorious generation would like to believe. They had at least one of them in Hungary seven hundred years ago, when Queen Elizabeth "settled" in the slums of Marburg, devoting the last years of her life to personal service among the poor, Dr. James M. Walsh told all about this first settlement worker yesterday in Mendelssohn Hall, in his Lenten course on "Women Who Wed," for the benefit of Mother Alphonsa's cancerous poor. He made the thirteenth century saint a lovable, unselfish, unworldy, but very human creature. Born in 1207, married at seventeen, left a widow with four children at twenty-two, she died before she was twenty-five. After her husband's death she went to live permanently with the poor, in spite of the desire of her relatives to lure her back to the world and of everyone concerned to see her married again. Two leprosy hospitals were established through her, leprosy being then as serious a menace to society as tuberculosis is now. "Not till the*age took hold of the problem by segregating lepers in camps under personal care," said Dr. Walsh, "did it succeed in three centuries in getting rid of it. Their experience helps us in the belief that we can radicate this other pest, the bacillus of which is in many ways akin to that of leprosy. Elizabeth and Louis IX. of France were two of the great forces for the cure of leprosy." "All down through the centuries the generations have been trying to find out what life means," said Dr. Walsh, in concluding. "And they've kept on making the same blunders. People have thought that it lay in getting things for themselves, but unless they were particularly big rascals they have been forgotten altogether. But those who, like St. Elizabeth—the little, dear St. Elizabeth, as the Germans call her—forget themselves for others—those the world does not willingly forget."—New York Tribune. SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. In spite of many legends to the contrary, there is no scientific record of the growth of hair after death. In Germany sound-proof building blocks are made of a mixture of gypsum with sawdust, coke, dust or ashes. Some chemical skill is required to make the mixture. Dr. W. Gillman Thompson, indicts the dust of the city in eight paragraphs of disagreeable description. He follows with a disturbing summary of the possible results of dirt inhalation. Eye and ear troubles; tuberculosis, tonsilitis, quiesce, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, broncho-pneumonia and influenza are some of the afflictions distributed in dust. And there will be lung irritations which may work up lurking heart disease. Tar as a coloring material for mortar has recently been used by a brick mason, announces Engineering News. In erecting a number of brick houses he fan short of black mortar color and used as a substitute some tar which had been partially refined. After a lapse of several years it is claimed that the color is as strong as ever, showing a remarkable newness where the mortar made with usual color will need repairing and pointing up before long. Natural silk is soon to be entirely replaced by wood pulp, as mudder and indigo have been supplanted by artificial products, in the opinion of the German Association of Chemical industry. A new Belgian silk, that of Dr. Thiele, is among the latest advances. In this a thread of forty filaments is substituted for that of eight or nine in natural silk, and the thread is less tubular, more plant and of better covering power than artificial silks with few strands. This process, like some others, is adapted for making artificial horsehair. Attention is called in the Electrical Review to certain sources of danger in electric traction which may easily be avoided by experienced drivers. One of the most insidious of these is the high rate of acceleration possessed by the electric motor. Engineers accustomed to steam locomotives have to learn to allow for this. For instance, in rounding a curve it is often necessary to throw on power to overcome increased resistance. An engineer trained to use steam may be conscious of the rapid gathering of speed by the electric motor, and throw on the power too soon or too strongly. A peculiarity of the electric engine is that the lower the speed the greater the power that can be delivered to the motors; and consequently the greater the effect that they can develop. SUBSTITUTES FOR WOOD. Iron and Concrete Filling Its Place Extensively. The rapid destruction of American forests and the slow progress made in replacing them has made necessary a hurdle for other materials which can be used instead of wood. The railroad companies now employ preservatives to prolong the life of their ties, and in some cases are undertaking forestry operations with a view to insuring future supplies. However, they are also experimenting with steel and with concrete—separately, of course—and not without a good assurance of satisfaction. Steel ties are not yet quite perfect, but they are practicable, and with certain improvements which are almost sure to come they ought to meet all requirements when the timber gives out. Less progress has been made with concrete, and it is possible (if not probable) that the concrete tie will cost more than the steel tie. Properly made, however, they should be equally durable. An even more extensive use of these materials is now being made in the construction of dwellings, storehouses and office buildings. Indeed, in this class of service concrete is being utilized far more than it is in the production of railroad ties, and its usefulness has apparently just begun. Concrete is likely to prove as cheap as wood, in time, if it is not so now, and it has the great merit of being fireproof. Steel is sometimes used independently of concrete in building, and sometimes in combination with it. The skeletons of most new office buildings and hotels are steel, and the floor beams are of that material also. The space between the beams is usually filled, in the best type of construction, with concrete, or hollow terra cotta tile. The outer walls are of brick or stone. In less pretentious structures, and even in some churches, the walls are of concrete, into which rough steel bars have been introduced. There are numerous patents on methods of reinforcing concrete with steel, but concrete without reinforcement ought to stand when used in small buildings, if properly used. In the construction of bridges, steel long ago began to displace wood. Concrete, too, is now being adapted for that sort of work, though it is customary to reinforce it carefully in building bridges. Concrete ought to be as durable as steel, if not more so, and it is destined to become extremely popular in this third sphere of usefulness.—New York Tribune. Playing Railroad. Irate Parent—Here!

Observed in Animals. A zoologist thus writes upon a point in which he claims that the lower animals set an example to many men, says Chums: There never was a garden more carefully tended than this. All da long the sun seemed to shine there as if to make the crops hurry, and grow. Johnny worked early, an "It has taken human beings many hundreds of years to acquire habits of neatness and cleanliness, whereas the animals have always possessed them. From the - time when they first made their appearance on earth animals have washed and combed and brushed themselves with tongue, claws and tail. Many of them grow wretched and languish if deprived of any opportunity of taking a cold bath. As for the apes, they are such sticklers for cleanliness that they expel any member of the tribe who shows a disposition to shirk his duties in this respect. Even the insects show a scruppulous regard for neatness, as anybody who has watched a fly brushing itself with its feet, for instance, will readily admit." How Bees Divide Labor. My experiments have revealed the fact that the division of labor among bees is carried to a surprising extent, says Professor Gaston Bonnier. Bees which are seeking for pollen or nectar do not carry it, but merely carry the news to the hive. A number of bees are sent out to strip the flowers, a number carrying pollen only, others nectar only, others again water only when water is needed. The number sent out is proportional to the number of flowers to be stripped, and by marking the bees with colored talc it was provet that each bee confined itself for the time being to one class of work. The same bee might be seeking for flowers in the morning and collecting in the afternoon, but did not change the nature of its work without returning to the hive. There seemed to be' something in the nature of as workning arrangement between bees of different hives, as when the work of clearing a certain area of flowers had once been commenced by a few bees from one hive these collectors were not interfered with by the bees from other hives.—Louisville, Ky., Times. A Picture Idol. A few years ago my uncle started to New Mexico, hoping to find a good model among the Indians for a picture he was painting. When he left the train he engaged a horse and guide to take him to the nearest encampment. There was a third horse, on which the food, clothing and artist's kit were packed. After traveling a day or so they reached a camp of Sioux Indians, who received them in a friendly manner. Many of the braves were willing to have their pictures drawn for a few beads and bits of bright cloth. When my uncle back was turned the squaws amused themselves in looking over his portfolio. In a few days he left for another camp. About a week later my uncle opened his portfolio, and noticed that a large painting of a girl was missing. As he prized it very much, he sent the guide back to the Sioux camp for it. The guide returned empty handed, and said that the Indians had become very angry when he asked for the picture. It seems that they had put it in a wigwam, with all their idols, and worshipped it. Though my uncle wanted the picture very much, he thought it best not to anger the Indians by taking it—Woodward Boil in the New York Tribune. Wishes. "Frank has a watch." This sounds to you like only a sentence from the First Reader, but really it was a whole story, and a very sad one, too, to the small-boy who was saying it over and over to himself. For Frank who lived just across the way from Johnny, was no older than he was, and yet, there, ticking away in his jacket pocket, was a fat silver watch, a wonderful thing, to be dragged out and consulted and dangled before his playmates' admiring eyes. "But I can't have one yet. Father said so. Not till I'm twelve, anyhow. Three whole years!" Johnny thought sadly. "And Uncle Charles said, 'If wishes were horses beggars would ride,' my boy.' I'm sick of that old thing!" And then because, I suppose, there are no fairies now except thought fairies, good and clever ideas that pop into our minds and show us the easiest paths, one of them whispered and kept whispering the rest of the rime in his mind: If turnips were watches I'd wear one by my side. And it talked to him until Johnny thought and thought, and then jumped up with a whoop that sent the cat flying in terror from her' door-step doze. "Why shouldn't turnips be watches?" he cried. "I've my own garden that father gave me last year, and I'll plant the seed, and raise a whole lot of turnips, and sell them at the market!" He ran off to tell his mother, and she; like all mothers, was as pleased as he was, and thought of other seeds for him to sow—radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, summer squash, and great golden pumpkins. There never was a garden more carefully tended than this. All day long the sun seemed to shine there; as if to make the crops hurry, and grow. Johnny worked early and late, tying up his bunches of radishes for market, weeding and thinning out the turnips so that they would have room to grow large and round and white. And in the autumn, when the last of the heavy yellow pumpkins was sent to the shop, and John counted up his galns, there was enough for a round, fat watch like Frank's, and still more wonderful, for a chain held it in its place, and made its owner the envy of the neighborhood. And now, whenever Johnny takes it lovingly from his pocket to look at the time, and as it lies under his pillow at night, it seems to be always ticking away the same thing: If wishes were horses Beggars would ride; If turnips were watches I'd wear one by my side. And turnips were, so Johnny says. —Alice V. L. Carrick, in Youth's Companion. Cutey Wee. The closet under the stairs at the end of the hall was dark and dusty. It was never used except to store things not in use—or if the children played Indian, when it served as teepee for the squaws. If mother wanted to find anything in the closet, she had to 'swing the door far back, and even then it was not very light, so it is no, wonder that, in a shadowy corner, long after winter things were put away till another season, one little warm red-lined overshoe lay unseen and forgotten. In front of this overshoe a little gray mouse stood one day in delightful surprise. I am sure she stood up on her hind feet and 'clapped her front ones, and said, "If this isn't just the place for Cutey Wee!" Now Cutey Wee was a very much petted and spolled little mouse baby. They had lived in the cellar; but the nest was destroyed, and only little Cutey Wee had been rescued. And now, if Mrs. Mouse wasn't thinking about her, Mr. Mouse was, and they would go from roof to cellar if Cutey Wee gave her tiniest squeak. So Mr. Mouse was brought to the closet to look at the little red-lined overshoe, and of course he agreed with Mrs. Mouse, and so the family moved, which means only that Cutey Wee was brought to the closet and dropped into the overshoe. Because of the elegance of this new apartment, Mrs. Mouse began to put on airs. She was not afraid of anybody, and she was interested in everything. I saw her stand on her blind feet in front of book after-book on the lowest book-shelf, looking up at them, and I suppose she was thinking of Cutey Wee's going to school. But the doll-house attracted her most. She studied over the little chairs and swinging cradles, and I wonder why she did not think of moving in there, for everything was just the right size. But before a little wardrobe she stood fascinated, and when she left the playhouse, she held by her teeth a little white dress, only two inches long, with blue bows on the shoulders. "Look!" she cried to Mr. Mouse when she got home, "this is for Cutey Wee." Do you suppose Cutey Wee put it on, bows and all, and sat there in the little overshoe? Well, even if she didn't, Mrs. Mouse knew it was what the dolls had, and nothing was too good for Cutey Wee. Nor was that all. Whether Cutey Wee squeaked, "Mamma, I must have a hat," I do not know, but Mrs. Mouse brought her hats and caps and coats and more dresses, all from the dollhouse. So Cutey Wee sat in the midst of her finery, more of a spoiled little mouse than ever. Yet Mrs. Mouse looked at her little daughter anxiously. "I'm afraid Cutey Wee is lonely," she thought. And as she searched the pantry for crumbs, she kept wondering what she could do. That night she went back to the playhouse, went up to a little chair where a wee dolly sat, and catching her dress in her mouth, carried her down the side of the playhouse, away across the floor, to the dusty closet where Cutey Wee sat alone in the little overshoe, and put her down beside her. Did ever a Mrs. Mouse do such a thing before? Did ever a spoiled mouse baby have such a gift brought her? Or did ever a little doll have such an adventure? Don't think I have made this all up. No, indeed! I was a little, little girl then, and the dollhouse was mine. And I missed the little dresses, and I missed the little doll, and no one could understand the strange way in which they had disappeared. Then one day the little red-lined overshear was found in the closet, and mother showed it to me. I saw them there myself, all the little clothes I had lost, and the little doll Arabella, and sitting by her was Cutey Wee.-Laura Mackay in Little Folks.

They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. A Fisherman's Luck. While out riding ex-Councilman John Welthaus saw his friend John Pschiner fishing for suckers in Little Pine Creek. Invited to join in the sport, the ex-Councilman in the absence of fishing tackle, attached a hailed hook to the lash of his whip, whirled it into midstream and patiently waited and watched for something to turn up. His bobber never sank from view, his string of fish was out of sight, but suddenly there appeared on the water's surface an object with a bill instead of gills, with feathers in place of scales, and the graceful motions of a swan. To cut the hook from the whiplash was but a moment's work; the next instant the long lash whizzed like a lariat through the air, circled around the neck of the strange floating object, and when landed on shore $^{x}$ was found to be a wild "dipter" duck. Millville Valley Journal. Women Smokers. The majority of healthy women are destined to become wives, mothers, or, at least aunts, nurses, or guardians in some other capacity of the children of the face. Broadly speaking, the physical and moral up-bringing of the young in their most critical years devolves solely on women. Tobacco is injurious to the nursing mother, and is a poison to the child. Children when very young, cannot thrive in an atmosphere of tobacco smoke. —Madame A SMALL SECRET Couldn't Understand the Tasto of his Customers. Two men were discussing the various food products now being supplied in such variety and abundance. One, a grocer, said "I frequently try a package or so...of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and in that way sometimes form a different idea than my customers have. For instance, I thought I would try Postum Food Coffee, to see what reason there was for such a call for it. At breakfast I didn't like it and supper proved the same, so I naturally concluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along. A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum. "I know just what is the matter" she said, "you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it immered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled, now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after it commences to boil, you will find a delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will never abandon it, particularly when you see the great gain in health." Well, I took another trial and sure enough I joined the Postum army for good, and life seems worth living since I have gotten rid of my old time stomach and kidney troubles." Postum is no sort of medicine, but pure liquid" food, and this, together with a relief from coffee worked the change. "There's a Reason."

ROCKEFELLER'S PASTOR SAYS WORKERS NEED A SUMMER VACATION The Only Medicine That Will Rest the Body and Clear the Brain is to Be Found in the Quiet Places of the Country. CITIES TOO BUSY AND TOO CROWDED FOR RIGHT LIVING AND RIGHT THINKING New York City — The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked, the high salaried pastor brought from England by John D. Rockefeller, preached his last sermon for the summer at the Fifth Ayeneue Baptist Church, and advised the members of his congregation to get out of town, rest, forget troubles, debts, newspapers, telephones and business. City life of today, especially in such cities as New York is almost enough to drive men crazy, said Dr. Aked, and the only medicine that will rest the body and clear the brain is to be found in the quiet places of the country. "There has been no day in the history of the world when such counsel was more needed than to-day," he said. "There are no people on the face of the whole earth who have more cause to heed it and profit by it than we. Our cities are too vast and too crowded." "Man, like the other animals, was meant for the fresh air and the open fields, for the storms, the snows and the sunshine. But he claps a stone box down over his head, sets it in the midst of a hundred thousand other stone boxes as ugly as his own, stretching away in bewildering squares and parallelograms, shutting out God's air and light, until he is ready to faint on a warm day and freeze on a cold one, and die of pneumonia—or ferror—if the east wind blows upon him. "This crowded, rushing, pushing, crushing city life life on our nerves. We live too fast. We live faster than me ever, we live faster. We live more than twenty-four hours in and more than seven days in the week. We burn the candle at both ends, and then, for fear that our neighbor will get ahead of us, we light it in the middle, too. We are consumed by the fever of living. We exhaust our vital energies in unending stress and strain. "We have no time to think. It is as much as we can be expected to do if we earn bread and cheese and lay by a pound or two against a rainy day. The great majority of us are just as capable of flying as we are of thinking. Leisure for quiet contemplation of the world which we live in is denied us. There is no grass beneath our feet, no blue sky over our head. The world of trees and flowers and singing birds is not for us. Art and poetry and gentle culture exist only in a world of dreams. While if we once gave ourselves pause to meditate upon the deep sea, God and the sooth time and its meaning, life and its mysteries, heaven and the glories which we thrust away, why—we might miss the next car. "The injunction which insults me every time I travel in the subway is: 'Step lively, now! Hurry up, there!' Hurry by all means, for we could not live if we did not kill ourselves to get somewhere else." Dr. Aked repeated Lewis Morris" "Evensong," and said: "There is one consideration which we cannot escape. What of the myriads of our brethren pent up in mean streets, prisoners of the counting house and the shops, slaves of the mill and the mine, of the poor and heavy laden of every nameless class, to whom these Hurricane Killed 200. A hurricane, accompanied by immense waves, swept the Caroline group. At least 200 perished. Mexican Republic Centennial. President Diaz has issued a proclamation, proposing a great celebration in 1910 to commemorate the centennial of the republic's independence. White Man Lynched. Dock Posey, a middle-aged white man, who had confessed to assaulting his nine-year-old step-daughter, was taken from the Whitfield County jail, at-Dalton, Ga., and hanged to a railroad vaduct in the middle of the city. words are bitter mockery, for whom no changing seasons bring cessation from toil and weariness. What of summer days of summer sunshine and ice? "There should be none such, except the vicious. And Christianity cannot rest while such mortals live, disfranchised of their right to rest and happiness. The unaccomplished mission of our faith is the redress of every economic inequality. There is no gospel which is not a gospel of social service. We live to bring all mankind into the family of God. But meanwhile, while such poverty remains, while such evil conditions sadden and appall us, what right have we to our holidays, to our happiness? Can we sit at our feast blindfold, or dare we open our eyes? What right have we to any feast while our brothers starve in the midst of plenty? None, if our lives are wrong. If we are living for ourselves, thinking, planning, accumulating for ourselves, none. But if all life to us is a sacred trust, if happiness is only so much stored up energy to be expended in divine redemptive toll, then go. keep the feast, charge your blood and brain with health and flood your soul with joy. "For the present go away and forget! It is a counsel of perfection and you would not follow it, else I should say to you, go where you can have no letters, no newspapers, no telegrams, where the ring of the telephone bell is never heard, and where even the Marconi cannot come. But at least do your best to forget. Forget your business. Forget your debts. Forget your debtors. Forget that in this world there is suffering, sickness or sin. Only remember that the sun shines for you, the moonlight and the starbeams are for you, the tides ebb and flow for you, you go upon the hillside, the purple heather and the gold, dressed in living green and for you. Dr. Aked said he had no patience with the attitude which makes a sad and doleful thing of the practice and forms of Christian worship. "Let us have done with these solemn hypocrises of conventional worship," he said. "Let us frankly claim our heritage of happiness in a world whose maker and builder is God. One day Parton Hood had to preach in a Yorkshire church. It was a glorious summer morning. A good brother gave out: 'My thoughts on awful subjects roll, Damnation and the dead——' "But Paxton Ho leaped to his feet and said, 'Oh, no, they don't! My thoughts do not roll on anything so dreadful. Let us sing: 'Come let us join our cheerful songs, With angels round the throne.'" "We pray God to forgive our sins, we ought to pray to be forgiven our sadness. There is no virtue in misery. The melancholy person is not necessarily a superior person; and if he were the superior person is generally detestable. A face as long as a fiddle and a voice like a crow's will not be imputed to us for righteousness. We shall not go to heaven for our tears or to hell for our smiles. Humor is a gift of God as well as pathos." The best way to spend Sunday or any other holiday, said Dr. Aked, was to follow Christ's advice to His 'dicples: 'Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest awhile.'

Bayard were paid by Grover Cleveland, Judge George Gray and others. Bayard statue in Wijmilston, Del. Gave Life For Snapshot. Seymour Spalding, twenty years old and wealthy, was drowned in Locust Creek, at Brookfield, Mo., while swimming in a dangerous spot in order that a young woman might take a snapshot of him. With Our Lawmakers While the senate passed one bill Saturday, the house passed thirty, and then adjourned in time to watch the vote on the prohibition measure in the upper house. The fight over the bill in the senate and the great interest aroused in the house over the pending measure there kept more than the usual number of representatives in Atlanta for the Saturday short session, and in consequence the business of the day was transacted in short order. Among the more important of the measures introduced was that of Mr. Brown of Oglethorpe. This bill provides for the relief of those landowners who rent cut their farms to tenants without a lien other than upon the crop, so that if the tenant is seen to neglect the crop the owner has the right to remove the tenant in order to protect his own interest. Another bill of general interest is that by Mr. Smith of Campbell, which seeks to reorganize the state troops of the state so that the adjutant general's salary shall be $3,000, instead of $2,00 per annum. A great deal of interest was manifested in the house over the report of the committee on railroads which was formulated on Friday recommending a substitute for the Joe Hill Hall anti-pass bill, which has not yet been made to the house, and a great fight for the Hall-bill will be made. Those men on the committee who voted with Mr. Hall for his original bill have served notice of a minority report on this bill, but may change their tactics and offer the original Hall bill in the house as a substitute for the committee substitute. With the galleries crowded with women and the floor of the house filled with men, the house temperance committee resumed its meeting Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and listened for three hours to arguments both for and against the prohibition bill. D. G. Fogarty of Augusta, Reuben Arnold and Morris Brandon of Atlanta spoke against the bill, and Judge George Hillyer, Walter Dunson, E. C. Galloway, H. Y. McCord, R. A. Broyle, Dr. John E. White and John Temple Graves, also of Atlanta, spoke in favor of the bill. The meeting of the committee was adjourned at 5:30 o'clock to meet again Tuesday at noon or earlier, at the call of the chairman. At the opening of the session, Chairman Wright announced at the first applause on either side of the question the galleries would be cleared, and for that reason excellent order was observed throughout the entire meeting. A feature of the discussion was the statement of Reuben Arnold that the passage of the prohibition bill would seriously cripple the Smith administration, as it would begin the new year with a deficit of three-quarters of a million dollars. The Hardman prohibition bill, which was passed by the senate Saturday by the vote of 24 to 7, was read in the house Monday for the first time. On motion of Mr. Covington it was referred to the temperance committee, and is now in line for action by the house. The house temperance committee met in the hall of the house at 2:30 o'clock p. m. The opponents of prohibition in the house took comfort in the fact that the general tax act for 1908 and 1909 reported by the committee on ways and means, Mr. Wise of Fayette, chairman, included a tax on the sale of liquor, the license on retail dealers being raised from $300 to $500 and that on wholesalers from $200 to $800. As Mr. Wise is known as an ardent prohibitionist, it was argued by the antis that such a provision in the general tax act showed that the prohibitionists are not absolutely sure of the passage of the Hardman bill as it came from the senate. There is talk of an amendment to make the bill go into effect January 1, 1909, instead of January 1, 1908, as provided in the Hardman bill. If such an amendment is added to the bill it would be necessary to provide for the state tax on liquor dealers next year. The senate was called to order Monday morning at 11 o'clock by President Akin. After prayer by the chapplain and confirmation of the journal, the disfranchisement bill, introduced by Senator T. S. Felder, was read for the second time. Senator Felder then asked that his automobile bill be read for the third time and put upon its passage. To this Senator Akin, having left the chair, with Senator Camp presiding, objected, and it was agreed to postpone action upon the measure, until it could be printed. A number of minor bills were introduced and the senate adjourned to Tuesday. The creation of the office of state drug inspector, this official to act independently of the food inspector's office and to draw a salary of $2,000 per year, is provided in a measure introduced in the senate Tuesday by Senator L. G. Hardman of the thirty- third district. A number of bills were presented and quite a batch of new legislative material was added to the already crowded calendar. A message was received from Governor Smith suggesting that a bill be introduced requiring all exceptions noted to the charges of the court as soon as the jury retires, thus avoiding so many new trials, on immaterial questions. No action was taken on the message. Senator Brock introduced a resolution which provided that a committee of five from the house and three from the senate be appointed to visit and examine all convict camps of the state during the vacation and make report on same. Following the statement before the house Monday afternoon by Attorney Reuben Arnold, that the passage of the prohibition bill would, seriously cripple the administration of Governor Hoke Smith by reducing the state revenues by approximately $750,000, Representative Clem Dunbar of Richmond, who, like Mr. Arnold, was among the strongest supporters of Governor Smith in the last campaign, introduced a resolution in the house Tuesday calling attention to the present status of the state's finances and inquiring of the ways and means committee and the appropriations committee if there will not have to be a curtailment of $333,000 in the common school appropriation and $296,000 in the pension fund to meet the deficit which he believes imminent. According to this resolution there is already a deficit in the state treasury of $200,000, and in addition the state is $350,000 in arrears as regards the payment of teachers' salaries. Joe Hill Hall's anti-pass bill won out before the house railroad committee Tuesday afternoon by the close vote of 16 to 15, and will receive the favorable recommendation of that committee to the house. The victory is all the more appreciated by the author and his supporters, because last weeks his bill was turned down by a vote of 9 to 8, and a substitute offered by a subcommittee favorably supported. A majority of the men on the railroad committee signed a petition and presented it to Chairman Covington, asking that he recommit the bill to the committee before reporting it. This he did with the result above stated. --- That important question as to when a note, check, acceptance or other evidence of debts falls' due on a holiday or Sabath is due, was settled so far as the house is concerned, by the passage at Tuesday's session of the Adams-Barrows bill which names "the next business day" as the proper time. When the recent banking laws were enacted considerable discussion arose as to when was meant to be the date of payment following the abolition of three days of grace when notes or other evidences of debt fell due on Sundays and holidays. SIX MANGLED IN WRECK. Switch Engine Dashes Into Fast Passenger Train on the Southern Six unidentified negroes met instant death and twenty other people were injured when eastbound vestibule No. 42 on the Southern railway, collided with a switch-engine ode mile west of Johnson City, Tenn., at 7:30 o'clock Sunday night. The switch engine was in charge of a hostler, who, when he saw the fast passenger coming toward him, reversed his engine and jumped to safety. The engine of the passenger, baggage car, mall car and second class coach were derailed and overturned, but the switch engine was not lifted from the rails, and with full head of steam started backward on a wild run, which was not ended until a switch was thrown for it and it was ditched at Carnegie. The lives of the mall clerks were saved because of the fact that their car was of heavy steel construction. The heavy car, however, played havoc with the light second class coach behind, which was entirely telescoped. THROUGH A CLERK'S ERROR Alabama Girl Served Nearly Twenty Years of a 20 Months' Sentence. Because of a mistake of a clerk who wrote "years" instead of "months", Rhena Rivers, a girl of Houston country, Ala., almost served out twenty years for a twenty months' sentence at the Alabama mines. She died before the term was up. The clerk in making out the papers changed months to years and the mistake was only recently discovered. SWEDES POR SAVANNAH. Colony to Be Established by a Stone Cutting Company. A colony of Swedes is to brought to Savannah, Ga., by C. W. Winstead, the head of the Savannah Cut Stone company. Land on which to build houses for the colony has already been bought in the eastern part of the city. Most of the colonists will be given employment by the company_of which the promoter of the enterprise. Is the head. Georgia Cullings Georgia Cullings Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random. Poisoned Baby and Self. A terrible case of life-taking occurred eight miles below Hawkinsville on Sunday, morning. Mrs. Mack McKinney giving poison to her 2-year-old daughter, and then sawwlowling some herself, both dying in great agony shortly afterwards. The tragedy was the result of a quarrel between Mrs. McKinney and her husband. * * * New Trolley Road Chartered. New Trolley Road Chartered. The Tennessee and Georgia interurban railroad company, capitalized at $500,000, has been chartered by Secretary, of State Phil Cook. The company proposes to build and operate an electric line from Rossville, in Walker county, to Catoosa Springs, in Catoosa county, a distance of twenty-five miles. The proposed route touches Chickamauga park and Ringgold. * * * Report on Convict Hire. The quarterly report of the state prison commission, ending June 30, for the convict hire due the state shows an increase of $2,530.67 over the preceding quarter. The hire due to the state for the past quarter is $93,541.36 against $91,010.69. There has been a steady increase in the convict hire in each quarter during the past year and the various lessees have made frequent calls for labor. --- Reunion of Thirtieth Georgia Regiment The annual reunion of the thirtieth Georgia regiment will take place on the last Friday in this month—July 26—at Donglasville. An invitation has been extended to all Confederate veterans to attend. There will be martial music by a fine brass band and addresses by able-speakers. The members of the old thirtieth Georgia, which did such valuable service during the war, came from the following counties in Georgia: Campbell, Douglas, Clayton, Henry, Butts, Bibb and Fayette. --- Deficiency Confronts State It is probable that the legislature will be called upon to reduce the pension and school funds of Georgia on account of the lack of state receipts. There is a shortage of $250,000 in the state treasury, which will have to be made up so that the state can meet its obligations. It is also cited by a well known capitol official that the income of the state will be cut down $250,000 more if the prohibition bill becomes a law. Under the state constitution the highest tax that can be levied is five mills, which, it is said, is barely sufficient under the present conditions. Annual Meeting of Farmers' Union. The annual meeting of the Georgia State Farmers' Union will be held in Atlanta June 23, 24 and 25 and a large attendance of the members of the state organization is expected. The sessions will be held at the Peachtree Inn, 291 Peachtree street, where the union's headquarters will be established. R. F. Duckworth of Barnesville is president of the state division, and he will preside over the sessions. The annual election of officers will be held and the business of the past year will be reviewed and a campaign planned for the ensuing year. Oppose Fertilizer Tax. The meeting of the Newton county branch of the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union held in Covington, Saturday, was attended by several hundred planters. Addresses were made, the chief subject being the bill of Senator Hardman to increase inspection fees on fertilizers for the purpose of raising funds to support the eleven district agricultural colleges. Resolutions were read and adopted opposing the fertilizer tax and urging the senator from the twenty-seventh district and the representatives from the county to use their influence to defeat the bill. Solons imbibe Too Much Water. It is not often that the secretary of state sends a message to the general assembly, this being considered rather an exclusive function of the governor, but Secretary Philip Cook sent one to both houses a few days ago, calling their attention to the fact that they were consuming $22.50 worth of lithia water a day, and that some provision would have to be made to pay the bill. The members of the house of representatives on one day alone drank 150 gallons of lithia water at 15 cents a gallon, which is the wholesale price. At this rate the legislative water bill for the session will approximate some $700 to $800, for which the general assembly will have to make an appropriation. Physicians Are Perturbed Leading physicians all over the state are perturbed over the provision contained in the Hardman prohibi- tion bill, which makes it unlawful for druggists to furnish anything but pure alcohol for medicinal purposes. Pure alcohol, the physicians claim, is a poison when taken internally, and is only used externally as a medicine. The bill, as it is worded, seems to make it unlawful for druggists to fill prescriptions calling for whiskey, brandy or wine, which are recognized by all authorities as drugs as much as quinine. The United States Pharmacopoea, the acknowledged medical authority as to drugs to be used in medicine—having been made so by an enactment of congress—recognizes alcohol, brandy, whiskey, white and red wine as medicines, and physicians rely greatly upon their use in certain cases. --- The supreme court of Georgia has rendered an important and far-reaching decision upholding the right of the state railroad commission to establish continuous mileage rates, over two connecting lines, one of which is owned, managed or controlled by the other. This decision was rendered in the case of the Wadley Southern Railroad company against Hill and others, railroad commissioners, in which Judge George F. Guber, of the Blue Ridge circuit, held in favor of the contention of the railroad company against the right of the commission to order and enforce such rates. The effect of Judge Guber's decision was practically, to render null and void rule 1 of the railroad commission's traffic rules, which provides that where two connecting lines are under the same ownership or control, or where one owns a majority of the stock in another, the rates over such two lines shall be on a continuous mileage basis. The decision overrules Judge Guber. To Increase Tax on Fertilizers What promises to be one of the most important measures to be voted upon by the general assembly at this session is the bill which was introduced simultaneously in the house and senate providing for an increase in the price of fertilizer tags from ten to twenty-five cents each. When these bills come up before their respective agricultural committees, they will be amended as so to provide that the proceeds which shall arise from the sale of these tags shall be turned into a fund for the support of the eleven congressional district agricultural colleges of the state and the agricultural college located at the university of Georgia. In speaking of this bill, Mr. Martin, the author of the measure in the house, said: "By increasing the tax on fertilizer tags from ten cents to twenty-five cents for each ton of fertilizer inspected, and sold in the state, the revenue which will be derived will run into the thousands of dollars. This money, will come out of the farmer who buys the fertilizer to use on his farm and will go to teach his boy scientific farming. "With this very' slight tax on fertilizers and applied to the agricultural schools and colleges of the state, we estimate that there will accrue to the benefit of each of the eleven congressional schools $10,000 and to the parent school at the university at least $50,000." CHARGE OF SHORTAGE DENIED. Brother of Ex-Bank Cashier Says In- justice Haa Been Done. Friends of former Cashler C. M. Orr, of the Exchange bank of Macon, and his brother, E. R. Orr of Dublin, Gn., fatly deny the story published to the effect that C. M. Orr was short over $30,000 and that his whereabouts were a mystery to Macon people. In a card to the press E. R. Orr denies the charges made and says that his brother is now in Dublin, together with his family, and says further: "The statement is absolutely untrue I am his brother and know that he has at no time been beyond the reach of the bank officials, or any other person interested in knowing his whereabouts. He is at my house at Dublin, where he can be found or communicated with at any time. "His account will stand full investigation. He settled his indebtedness with the bank in a manner entirely satisfactory, and holds a receipt in full which was given him at a time when his accounts were as fully known to the bank as they are today." --- INTERURBAN TROLLEY LINE Between Atlanta and Augusta Planned by Heavily Capitalized Company. A trolley line from Atlanta to Augusta, Ga., covering a distance of 160 miles will soon be in operation if the plans of a company capitalized at mil-plans of a company capitalized at five lions materialize, and since the route has been surveyed and the company organized there is no reason to doubt that the two Georgia cities will soon be connected by such a line. The route will be from Atlanta to Lithonia, thence to Conyers, thence to Monroo, thence to Athens, thence to Washington and thence to Augusta al eS SSeS Tee ees Se
