VOL. XXIV. BIG REVENUE FROM TAX Two Per Cent on Earnings of Corporations. $30,000,000 WILL BE RAISED Washington, D. C.—A final agreement on the terms of the amendment to be proposed to the pending tariff bill for the imposing of a tax of two per cent on the net earnings of corporations was reached by President Taft and the members of the finance committee of the senate at the most important conference held at the white house since the incumbency of Mr. Taft. The whole matter was threshed out, following a dinner given by the president in the state dining room in the white house. Gathered about the board were Attorney General Wickerham, Senate Foot, Secretary of State, Kenyon and Sensenbrock, Burrows, Penrose, Hale, Cullom, Flint, Smoot, McCumber and Lodge Speaker Cannon, Representative Payne, chairman of the committee on ways and means, and Representative John Dwight of New York, the republican whip of the house. The terms of the measure as finally agreed upon provide that all corporations having capital stock issued for profit shall pay a tax of 2 per cent upon their net earnings. Corporations coming within the designation will be compelled to make returns to the specially designated agents of the bureau of internal revenue of the treasury department, giving the amount of their gross receipts, capital stock, bonded indebtedness and all other visible debts. Each corporation will be allowed a $5,000 exemption, which means that the tax will not be collected except upon earnings in excess of $5,000. It is further added that the tax shall become automatically finalized upon the passage of the law. The life of the measure was made indeterminate instead of two years or some other fixed arrangement, such as has been suggested originally. The present year's tax will be collected July 1, 1910, the beginning of the next fiscal year. Estimates place the probable amount that would be raised by the 2 per cent corporation tax, taking into account the amount stated from $25,000.00 to $30,600.00. EXPLOSION IN COAL MINE. 17 Men Killed and 16 injured in a Pennsylvania Mine Wehrum, Pa.—As the result of an explosion of gas in Mine No. 4 of the Lackawanna Coal and Coke Company, seventeen miners were killed and sixteen injured. With one exception, those killed were foreigners. With few exceptions, those injured were Americans. Superintendent A. M. Johnson said that while the mine has always been regarded as non-gaseous, the explosion was due to the ignition of a pocket of gas by the open lamp of a miner. Superintendent Johnson called for volunteers to enter the mine. Several women offered to go, but these were ordered back. With wet handkerchiefs tied over their faces, the first squad of the relief party started down the shaft. Of the eight who started, four came back conscious. The others were pulled to the surface with ropes. A second and a third party entered, only to be driven back by the deadly gases. Oxygen sent by the Cambria Steel Works, alided the searchers, and with safety helmets a fourth rescue party succeeded in bringing twelve bodies to the surface. Later, five more-bodies were recovered. ALCOHOL HABIT GROWING Doctor Says That Drinking Increases Among Business Men. Detroit, Mich. — "Notwithstanding the prohibition wave that has recently swept over the country, there is every reason to believe that the alcoholic habit among business men is steadily on the increase," declared Dr. Frank C. Richardson of Boston, in an address before the Society of Neurology and Psychiatrics, held in connection with the American Institute of Homeopathy, which is in session here this week. Dr. Richardson declared that the strenuous American business life is producing in many of its followers a neurosis partaking of the character of neuresthenia, psychastehnia and hysteria. While Dr. Richardson held nicotine to be also a producer of neuresthenia, he regarded it as less injurious and less destructive than alcohol. UNIQUE WEDDING Thomas Lawson's Daughter to Wed Under Apple Tree. Sectuate, Mass.—In the midst of eleven acres of roses, James E. Lord of Chicago and Miss Marlon Lawson will be married June 30. The daughter of Thomas W. Lawson has planned a ceremony, which for environment will be absolutely unique. The estate at Dreamland affords opportunities for this. One of the features of the place is a tract of about eleven acres, which is just now a solid massof roses in full bloom. In about the center of this huge rosebed, there is an isolated apple tree, and under this tree Miss Lawson and Mr. Lord will stand.

Washington, D. C. — The United States exported $200,000,000 less merchandise in the fiscal year which ends with this month than in 1908, according to a report issued from the bureau of statistics. The cause of the falling off is not known, although there is a general decrease in the sale of merchandise in the greater part of the world. The total value of domestic merchandise exported in 1908 was $1,335,000,000, while in 1907 the figures show exports of $1,854,000,000. The figures made public show that the decrease is approximately $50,000,000 under the exports of 1908. There is a marked falling of all the imports of one of our largest customer, the United Kingdom, in the ten months ending with April, 1909, $123,000,000 below those of the corresponding months in the previous year. Canada shows a decrease of $68,000,000 in her imports; German, $101,000,000, and the other nations corresponding decreases. Manufacturers of iron, steel copper and, wood show a falling off in demand abroad. The greatest falling off, however, was in foodstuffs and manufactures, each being about $90,000,000. The decrease in cotton is about $10,000,000. The principal articles in the falling off in our own exports occurs in cotton, corn, wheat, and manufactures of cotton and manufactures of good. The figures of the bureau of statistics show the total value of cotton exported in the eleven months ending with May, 1909, at $4,802,925,707. LITTLE WATERMELONS INTRODUCED Large Quantity Being Raised by United States Government. Washington, D. C.—Individual watermelons about the size of a canteau, of delicious flavor, in color yellow and red, which can be grown in any section of this country, have been introduced through the department of agriculture by Horace G. Knowles, former American minister to Roumania, who discovered them in the foothills of the Carpathian mountains in Roumania. For use in hotels, restaurants, clubs, on dining tables and elsewhere, the new arrival will fill a long felt want. Extensive experiments have been made by the department through its numerous stations, which prove that climate conditions, soil, etc., in practically all parts of this country are adapted to the growth of the melon. This season a large quantity are being raised by the government for the purpose of seed propagation and for the introduction to the public. It is proposed to name the new melon Princell Marie, in honor of the Frenchman Houmann, whose guest Mr Knowles was when he discovered the melons. FATAL AUTO SMASHUP. One Killed, Three Hurt, When Electric Car Ran Into Machine. tric Car Ran Into Machine. Anderson, S. C.-In a collision between an interurban car of the Anderson Traction Company and an automobile at Breazale's crossing, nine miles east of Anderson, one is dead, one fatally and two seriously injured. Some defects in the mechanism of the automobile caused it to come to a standstill on the car tracks, and the electric car smashed into it while going at a high rate of speed, down grade. James H. Cobb, superintendent Belton Cotton Mills, Belton, S. C., was killed instantly. The injured are: Rev. D. D. Richardson, fatally, Belton, S. C.; Rev. E. A. Dowell, broken shoulder and arm, Ninety-Six, S. C.; Mrs. D. D. Richardson, bruised about body. Seaboard Air Line Buys Road. Chera, S.

The negotiations were conducted by Judge Watts, general counsel for the Seaboard, through the Bank of Cheraw. There will be no present change in the management Harriman Made $2,000,000. San Francisco, Cal.-Edward H. Harriman cleaned up $2,000,000 by selling the Central of Georgia Railroad to his Illinois Central system. Mr. Harriman purchased 50,000 shares of Central of Georgia stock, at $60 a share. The Illinois Central has bought them at par, $100 each. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY; JUNE 26, 1909. Robber Made a Clean Getaway—Train on Canadian Pacific Held Up. Express Office Robbed. Fort Worth, Texas.—In true frontier style a lone highwayman, described as genteel in appearance and natly dressed, robbed the branch banking house of the Waggoner Bank and Trust Company in the most central section of the down town business district of Fort Worth of $2,100 in currency, made his escape and has succeeded in evading the searching parties of police and citizens. The robbery was the most daring attempted in Texas in years. Cashier Walter E. King was alone in the bank. E. King was balancing the transaction of the day when a well-dressed stranger walked in. As the man approached the window of the cashier's department, King looked up and down the barrel of a revolver. "Make a move or a noise of any kind and I'll kill you." was the greeting declared, Mr. King. The cashier compiled and stuffing the roll of bills, $8,100, in denominations ranging from $1 to $20, into his pockets the man backed out of the door under cover of his pistol and as Mr. King ran to a telephone, he saw the man walking down the street and mingling with the crowds with an apparent air of unconcern. The police reached the scene five minutes later, but the stranger had disappeared. At the time of the robbery several hundred persons were in the vicinity of the building and many noted the arrival at the bank and the departure of the man, but his manner gave no indication of his purpose. Several declared that he climbed into a waiting automobile after walking several blocks, but the police place little credence in this assertion, and it is believed he still is in Fort Worth. According to Cashier King, the man was about 35 years old, tall and slender and apparently a man of refinement, and was modishly dressed. The loss, to the Waggoner bank is covered by insurance. The bank has, however, offered a reward of $1,000 and a like sum will probably be offered by the city for the capture of the highwayman. Vancouver, B. C.—Six masked men, armed with revolvers and rifles held up Canadian Pacific westbound express No. 97, near Ducks, searched three express cars, and, falling to find anything of value escaped. Just ahead of No. 97 was the St. Paul express, which had picked up 90 bars of silver bullion, an Revelstoke, this was the incentive for the coup. Green Bay, Wis.—Two bandits entered the night office of the United States Express Company here, and at the point of a revolver compelled the man in charge to open the safe. They secured $5,000. Ithaca, N. Y.-Robbers blew up the safe in the C.Iitzens' National Bank at Locke, a village twenty miles north of this city and fied with between $2,000 and 2,200, most of which was in $5 bills. They overlooked about $5,000 in gold. BAN OF HERESY. Prof. Foster is Expelled from Ministers' Conference of Chicago. Chicago, Ill.—Professor George Burman Foster of the University of Chicago, whose denial of the divinity of Christ in a recent book, has stirred Chicago Baptists to a high pitch of recruitment, was dropped from the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Chicago. Hisses, yells and general confusion made the meeting one of the stormiest ever hc.1 by churchmen in Chicago, and it resembled a political meeting in a rowdy ward. The conference has not the power to expei him from the church, and no definite action was taken. BARROW, THIRD ARBITRATOR. To Act in Dispute Between Georgia Road and Firemen. Washington, D. C.—In view of the declination of Bishop Candler of Georgia to act as arbitrator in the strike of the Georgia Railroad firemen, the arbitrators agreed upon David C. Barrow, chancellor of the University of Georgia as the third arbitrator. Harris, Ga.—After having given careful consideration to the invitation extended him to become an arbitrator in the Georgia Railroad strike question, Chancellor David C. Barrow reached the conclusion that it is fills duty to accept. LOCKED IN BOX CAR. Girl Goes from Kansas City to Denver in Three Days. Denver, Colo.--While Mabel Warren, aged thirteen, was playing in a box car in the Kansas City freight yards, she fell asleep. When she awoke she found that the car was moving, it was dark and her screams for help not answered. Then she cried herself to sleep. She awoke again and heard rain on the roof of the car when stops were made, but could not make herself heard and was carried west. The car rolled into Denver three days later and yardmen heard faint cries for help. They found the girl nearly starved and sent her to the police station. COTTON IS BACKWARD. Rain is Keeping Labor From the Fielda Plant is Very Small. Memphis, Tennessee.—The Commercial; Appeal, in its weekly summary of the cotton crop, says: "In all states east of the Mississippi river and in Arkansas, cultivation is backward and the plant is small. Some progress was made during the past week, but in many districts of this territory heavy to moderate local rains fell and kept the labor from the fields. There is much grass. On some of the lowlands it is still too wet for cultivation, and on such lands the cotton will be abandoned. "There are only limited local exceptions to this general condition. "Some of the cotton worked out early has again become foul, and correspondents anticipate that with the use of weedless cultivation will not be normal before July. "In Oklahoma and Texas, the rainfall was beneficial. The crop during the week made rapid advancement. It is generally in a good-state of cultivation and is regarded by correspondents as promising. The Texas crop is still late, and boll weevils are becoming more numerous. OUR GREAT FOREIGN TRADE American Plows Are Used in More Than Seventy Counties. Washington, D. C.—As evidence of the wide distribution of American manufacturers the bureau of statistics issued a statement showing a part of the volume of American trade. In the case of mowers and reapers, for example, it is shown that no less than seventy-five countries and colonies of manufactures. Russei in Europe is stated to be the largest purchaser. American plows and cultivators are turning up the soil-in more than seventy countries and colonies of the world; American billiard balls were largely exported; stove polish in immense quantities found its way into the United Kingdom, Mexico, Cuba, Central America, Australia, New Zealand and the Dutch East Indies; American candles light homes in more than forty countries of the world; nearly 5,500,000 worth of amt tobilows were sent to various parts of the world; street curtains care to more than fifty countries; bloesges to more than sixty countries; baking powder to more than forty countries; watches to seventy-five countries; cotton cloths to seventy countries; and binder twine to seventy countries. Other countries and sections of the world to which American merchandise is sent included Greenland and Iceland, Glbrittal, Trifolli, Falkland islands, Canary Islands, Kiao Chau the German port in China, Port Arthur and Tallintwan, Japanese port; North Africa, Morocco, in Africa, Servia, Roumania, Tasmania, German Oceania, French Oceania and British Oceania. "PAT" CALHOUN GETS MISTRIAL Jury In Notable Case Stood 10 for Acquittal, and 2 for Conviction. San Francisco, Cal.—Terminating in a disagreement of the jury, with ten men determined on acquittal and two steadfastly resolved upon conviction, the trial of President Patrick Calhoun of the United Railroads has ended. Five months and a week had transpired since the wealthy street car magnate, a descendant of Patrick Henry, made his first appearance in court to answer to the charge of offering a bribe of $3,000 to a supervisor to obtain a privilege for his corporation. I am ready to try this case again, and I will try to tomorrow (in process,) said Mr. Heney, an hour after adjournment. Mr. Calhoun said: "Of course I am dispenDED at the failure of the jury to acquit me of the unjust charges against me. I should have like my vindication by the jury to have been absolute. RULES FOR LONG LIFE. On His 97th Birthday, Chicagoan Tells How to Live. Chicago, Ill.—After eating a hearty breakfast, E. F. Robbins, 97 years old, gave the following rules or long life to friends and relatives on his birthday anniversary. Don't worry; it doesn't help a bit. Be cheerful under all circumstances. Live simply but freely. Have a good time, but have an eye on the future. Be kindly and keep your temper. Love your neighbor; don't try to do him. Never give advice; it's bad policy. Observe the Golden Rule. Neway Paragraphs. The Louisiana Historical society has inaugurated a movement to secure the original ordinance of secession adopted by the people of Louisiana, which is now in possession of the war department at Washington. The representatives of the state in Louisiana have joined their efforts to place the document once more in the possession of the state of Louisiana. W. J. Pilkington of DesMolnes, Iowa, editor of The Iowa Trade Journal, has taken absolute charge of every business house in Dexter, Iowa, a town of 800 persons, for seven months, for the purpose of proving that city methods would benefit the dealer in small towns. Mr. Pilkington has placed the town in the hands of Guy Pogue, who is currently conducting business in the town, from the bank to the lumber mill. At the end of seven months, he declares, profits will be doubled, business will increase, trade will be attracted to Dexter from other towns and the business methods will become metropolitan. Mr. Pilkington believes in advertising, and, as a result, the Dexter paper has more advertisements that it ever had. CONSTITUTION OF C. S. A. Historic Document on Exhibition in Library of Congress. Washington, D. C.—There has been deposited in the library of congress and placed on exhibition in the manuscripts' division the original engrossed "permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America." The constitutionw as adopted on March 11, 1861, by the Confederate Congress at Montgomery, Ala., and signed by delegates from South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. When the capital was moved to Richmond, was on guard of city, and, upon the arrival of Richmond, was sent with other papers farther south, where it was rescued by Mr. F. G. Defontaine, at Chester, S. C., from a band of looters. Mr. Defontaine kept this and other documents for some years and, in 1883, it passed into the hands of Mrs. G. W. J. DeRenne, whose son, Mr. W. J. DeRenne, of Savannah, Ga., now owns it, and has recently deposited it as a loan with the librarian of congress. FORTIFY THE MISSISSIPPI. New Orleans, LA—Because the naval bureau at Washington has been different to the Mississippi river the federal government has sadly neglected the defenses of the valley country by leaving its gateway to the sea practically unprotected. Should such a policy on the part of the government continue, in time of war the enemy's warships could be kept out of the river only by destroying the jetty channel. This channel has cost much money and required many years to open up and might be closed indefinitely, for its integrity would be compromised and the freight rates from the valley to all foreign markets. With the opening of the Panama canal the cities of the valley will begin the upbuilding of a vast import and export trade. In order to place the facts squarely before the people of the valley the commercial bodies of New Orleans have adopted resolutions in closing, the resolutions say: "That our senators and representatives in congress be and they are hereby requested to immediately present these preambles and resolutions to the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy, and to urge upon them the necessity of immediate and adequate defenses at the gateway of the Mississippi valley; also, to urge upon congress the necessity of legislation for the establishment and construction at this point of a fortified naval base of the first class." DEAD BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. New York City.—Forty-five persons who have died recently form the basis of a most remarkable report on bringing the dead back to life, according to The Medical Record. Of the forty-five cases treated under the new theory of manipulating the heart by the hand, seventeen patients were resuscitated, nine with complete recovery. The remaining eight died after a short time. Forty of the cases treated are said to have been due to the anaesthetic administered. The report says that in each instance immediately after death ensued, or not more than five minutes afterwards, the chest was opened and the heart was given a direct application of manual massage. "After the chest cavity has been opened, the hand is forced in and the heart is grasped, and pushing toward the anterior thoracic walls," according to The Medical Record, "and the ventricles are squeezed rhythmically at about normal beats. Sometimes fifteen minutes elapse before any response is obtained. During all the time assistants should be busy with artificial respiration, saline and adrenalin infusions, tongue traction, intubation or tracheaotomy and elevation of pelvis and legs." TEN KILLED IN COLLISION Forty Seriously Injured in Indiana Trolley Wreck South Bend, Ind.-Ten persons were killed and forty Injured in a wreck on the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Railroad in Porter county, Indiana, two of the big electric cars colliding head-on. According to General Manager H. U. Wallace, the wreck was due to a disobedience of orders by Motorman George A. Reed of the eastbound car, who was killed. SOUTH AMERICAN PRESIDENT QUITS. Colon, Panama.—Advices received here confirm previous reports that General Raefel Reyes, president of Colombia, has abandoned office and sailed for Europe. The recent trend of affairs in Colombia makes the departure of the president a matter of no surprise, for it has been openly asserted that his voluntary resignation from office was the only solution for Colombia's political troubles. The support given by President Reyes to the United States-Panama-Colombia treaty was responsible for the prevailing dissatisfaction. LATE NEWS NOTES. The commission authorized by Tennessee legislature to select a site for the monument to Senator Edward Ward Carmack, who was killed on the streets in Nashville last November, has decided on a location. The monument will be placed just above the south entrance to the state capitol grounds. It is proposed to erect on the site mentioned a memorial costing $25,000. The subscriptions to the memorial fund have been coming in in a satisfactory manner so far. The work of erecting the monument will be pushed as rapidly as is consistent with the best class of the work and the proper completion of the same. The American Institute of Bankers, in session at Seattle, Wash., decided to hold next year's convention in Chattanooga, Tenn. The following officers were elected: President, Newton D. Alling, New York City; vice president, George Jackson, Chicago; secretary, H. G. Proctor, Richmond, Va.; treasurer, Louis H. T. Moss, New Orleans; executive council, Frank Cernil, Oakland, Cal.; W. S. Evans, Philadelphia; E. C. Pinney, Minneapolis; D. J. Lyons, Providence, R. I.; chairman of the executive council, Ralph C. Wilson, Chicago. Joacquil Miller is planning to establish a colony of poets and to conduct a school of poetry near his home at Fruitvale, in California. He has given an acre of land to Henry Meade Bland and another to Herbert Bashford. They expect to build cottages there and help found this colony. Mrs. Bellamy Storer, wife of the former American ambassador to Austria-Hungary, has established a new society, the aim of which is to obtain from steamship and railroad officials permission to allow pet dogs to travel first-class with their wealthy mistresses. Abdul Hamid has been summoned to appear in court as the defendant in a suit brought by a former court Jewel who seeks to recover $20,000. The Jewel's defense is the petition of the loss, as sustained when Abdul closed his shop and exiled him for having business relations with Rschad Effendi, the present sultan. The railroad companies are closely watching the use of a mechanical "fireman" on some of the big engines of a northern road. These devices have been installed to meet the necessity of a more satisfactory way of feeding the furnaces on the monster companies which are now being employed, the firemen having hardly equal to the task of feeding fuel. The mechanical stoker seems to be giving satisfaction, and it is probable that the roads will adopt it. The American board of commissioners of foreign missions will start in July to raise a fund of $2,000,000 for the enlargement of all the educational institutions in foreign lands under its supervision. Fully one-third of the amount will be used in Turkey, according to an officer of the board. The growth there has been greater than in countries. Many of the colleges in Turkey are not named, accommodate all of the students that are for admission. A permanent endowment fund of $100,000 for each institution is desired by the board, which believes that an income that can be depended upon will insure better work. Washington. A complaint was filed with the interstate commerce commission. It was against two hundred and one interstate carriers by the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Shippers' Protective Association of Jacksonville. Fla. It alleges that the growers and shippers of fruits and vegetables from Florida points are subjected to unjust and unreasonable transportation to points in northern and eastern states, and to undue prejudice and disadvantage and discrimination in refrigeration charges by the railroads. It is improbable that a decision will be reached in any of the cases before some time next fall, if the summer recess of the commission is taken. Representative John (L. Burnett of Alabama who is a member of the house committee appointed at the last session to visit the south and investigate the alleged peonage system alleged to prevail there, said that the committee had visited Alabama, Florida, Arkansas and Georgia, and later would look into some cases alleged to exist in West Virginia and Mississippi. A few irregularities were found in some of the states, he said, but the reports received were largely exaggrated. Secretary Wilson declared most emphatically that the statement published that he intends resigning in his office fall is entirely without foundation. He has a motion of leaving the cabinet, he said, and asked that if President Taft desired his resignation, he knows nothing of it. "A hint from the president will be the only cause for my resigning," he concluded. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson of Iowa will leave the president's cabinet in December and Representative Charles Frederick Scott of the Second district of Kansas, will be named as his successor, according to reliable information given out. Mr. Scott is chairman of the house committee on agriculture. Secretary Wilson has broken the record for length of continuous cabinet service. He will have served thirteen years when he retires in the winter. Good roads in Louisiana recently announced by Governor Sanders, has found an ally in the United States government. Two experts from the department of agriculture have arrived in Baton Rouge to assist in the construction of model roads throughout the state. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. SOL.

New York is a city of contrasts, and, in spite of the piteous tales of suffering printed every day in the newspapers, the idle and the thoughtless continue to give parties, full of spirited and spirituous entertainment, where hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars are spent for no good purpose and to no worthy end.

So declared Frederick Austin Findlay, a burglar, who was released from Auburn prison in New York, a year ago on parole for good conduct and who voluntarily returned to the institution. He wrote to Parole Officer Powers saying that he was discouraged and wanted to be put back in prison. There was no alternative, so he was recommitted to serve six months unexpired on a term of two years for burglary.

FAREWELL MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR SMITH Atlanta, Ga.-Governor Smith, in his farewell message to the general assembly, calls attention to a number of acts passed by the last legislature. Of the disfranchisement law the governor says: "No legislation since the days of reconstruction will be more beneficial in its far-reaching effects, not alone at the ballot box, but also in the solution of the race problem. This law will go far toward protecting the ballot box from the presence of those who permit their taxes to be paid by others, and will help purify elections and make them more fully the honest expression of the convictions of the voters." Registration Law. The governor does not apprehend any trouble from the new registration bill to the citizen who pays his taxes and wishes to vote from a sense of patriotic duty. It requires registration six months in advance of primaries and election, at the time when taxes are paid. This bill makes the padding of registration lists and the purchase of votes almost impossible. The legislature passed an act requiring the state government under oath of the money spent by him in his race, and an act for building corporations from contributing money to elections. The legislature also passed an act regulating primary elections. The primary election law requires that all nominations for state house and membership in the legislature be held the same day and that no primary be held more than sixty days before the election. These laws, the governor states in his message, will further guarantee that elections shall be fair, honest and free from the control of political politics. Railroad Commission. The governor considers the expenditure of $35,000 a year for a railroad commission small in comparison when the fact is kept in mind that the commission is to protect the rights of the public in an expenditure of sixty millions of dollars annually. The governor advises the legislature not to hamper the railroad commission in performing its duties, but to stimulate the commission to wisely and justly guard the rights of the public. The governor also acts of the railroad commission during his administration. Governor Smith points out, were: First, the reduction of passenger fares, which has saved the people of Georgia nearly a million dollars a year; second, the abolishment of the use of free passess; and, third, the order for bidding any general reduction of employees' wages until the facts upon which the reduction is based are first submitted to the commission. The action of the railroad commission in declining any reduction in rates of freight transportation to interior points from the port to all interior points in Georgia to the ports was a great disappointment to the governor. He states his confidence in the justice of lower port rates is not shaken by the decision. Convict Lease. The governor takes pleasure in officially notifying the legislature that under the act passed last fall all the convicts, except the women, the infirm men and juveniles, are now, at work upon the public roads of the Good Roads As a result of placing the convicts upon the public roads, an enthusiasm has been aroused throughout the entire state for good roads. Governor Smith states that he cannot too strongly express his conviction of the blessings that may come to the people of the state from good roads. Georgia depends in great part upon agriculture for the prosperity of her people. Good roads will remove the isolation of rural life. They will help social life and place schools, churches and county sites in close touch with farmers. They will lessen expense of private transportation. They will help build up the state materially and add immensely to the happiness of the people. The governor advises the legislature to abolish the present prison commission and create in its stead, a board consisting of the governor, the attorney general and the commissioner of agriculture to be known as the Board of Supervision of the convict system of the state, and give them authority to elect a supervisor of convicts and of roads. State Farm. Governor Smith has visited the state farm at Millegeville and found that whites and the negroes are substantially in the same quarters. As a plan for management he suggests that a general superintendent for the entire farm at a salary of $1,500 a year be appointed, with an assistant superintendent in charge of each of the separate quarters. The governor regrets that the management of the farm has been bad. From the prison commission on down too the superintendent, it has lacked method and system. He points out that conditions on the farm must be improved and expenses decreased. An improvement of the reformatory is urged by the governor. He does not criticize the managers of the reformatory, but the scope of their work has been limited and their opportunities curtailed. He recommends that inmates of the reformatory be given an opportunity to devote one-half their time to mental development and the study of books; and only one-half their time should be given to manual labor. The money derived from the sales of products raised at the farm is not used for the purposes it can be used by the authorities to meet the expenses of the farm. Properly man- Both Expensive Luxuries. Ready to Vote. Mr. Bacon-If you women had the privilege of the ballot you wouldn't know how to vote. aged, the farm should be largely self-supporting. Pardon of Convicts. The large number of convicts who have been pardoned since the last session of the legislature has been due in part to the fact that the legislative investigation of the convict system brought to light many mertiorious cases, which, in the governor's judgment, called for the exercise of his pardoning power. The governor believes it would be well, by statutory enactment, to make it the duty of a judge to furnish the governor, when called upon, his opinion as to the advisability of extending executive clemency and that this opinion be regarded as a judicial one and of more value than the opinion of a pardon board. A more liberal use of the parole power is favored. Near Beer Tax. The governor calls attention to the near-beer tax passed at extra session of the last legislature. The extra session of the legislature cost the state $37,305.30. From the near-beer tax the state has collected $223,950.30 with $10,000 to be collected in the case from Augusta in a few days. If this near-beer tax is to remain a part of the policy of the state it should be made the tax collector's duty to see that the tax is paid. As it is apparent that the money derived from the tax on near-beer will not be used for the purpose of purchasing a farm for white convicts the governor suggests that an act be passed turning the $225,000 near- GOVERNOR HOKE SMITH. beer tax, now in the treasury to be used at once for the payments of amounts due to teachers. Penitentiary Appropriation. The appropriation of $150,000 for the penitentiary department for the present year should be reduced so that for the last six months of the year only a small portion of this amount would be used. Appropriations and Franchises. The governor compares condition of the treasury today with June 30, 1907, and states that in spite of the extraordinarily large appropriations to education and a deficiency in the 1907 pension fund, which required the payment of $42,000, and in spite of the fact that the sale of liquor was forbidden in 1908, all appropriations were met and the treasury today is in better condition than on July 1, 1907. There was in the treasury on June 30, 1907...$375,596 000. There is in the treasury at the present time (June 19, 1909...$19,632.57). How Revenue was Expended. The total revenue of the state last year amounted in round figures to $5,000,000.00. The governor states that it should be a source of great gratification to the public that over nine-tenths of this entire revenue was devoted, not to the expenses of administration, but to education, pensions, and to institutions organized for the immediate benefit of the people themselves. Last year the state paid out for common schools.$2,206,000.00 For the State College of Agriculture and the dis- trict schools 205,000.00 For other educational work, including the Academy for the Blind, the normal schools, School for Deaf and, Dumb, the Technological Institute, the University, the Summer school, the North Georgia Agricultural college, and for work of the same class....375,000.00 Thus making a total expenditure for education by the state of Georgia in 1908 of...$2,786,000.00 The state paid out last year for pensions and for the Soldiers' Home....$958,000.00 For the Georgia State sanitarium 405,000.00 On interest and principal of public debt of the state 401,000.00 $1,764,000.00 The remaining revenue of the state was used, at least in part, for expenses disconnected with the civil establishment and matters of government, such as the State Board of Health, the Geological Survey, the Agricultural department, and in varl- Two Views.

Kind Old Lady—But, my good man, your milk is full of water. Milkman—It is the wet weather, ma'am. Why, the rain just soaks into the poor beasts. Prohibition Law. The governor believes the passage of state-wide prohibition legislation Tennessee and Alabama will substantially, aid the enforcement of the law in Georgia, and if Florida and South Carolina also adopt state-wide prohibition, the difficulties of enforcing the law in this state will be still further lessened. The law, as a whole, has been well enforced throughout the land, except in a few cities, its enforcement has been most satisfactory. Educational Institutions. The governor commends the splendid progress made by educational institutions during the past two years. The theory that the negro children are rushing to school and that the white children are neglecting to use the advantages given them is without foundation. Seventy-nine per cent of the white children are in schools while only 58 per cent of the negro children are in schools. The improved status of the school during the past year was due, in part, to the fact that the teachers were so much more nearly paid as their salaries were earned than had been the case in prior years. Increase Temporary Loan. Governor Smith believes it advisable to give the governor the authority to make a temporary loan of $600,000, instead of $200,000. The Governor's mansion, in Atlanta, could be sold at probably over $200,000. The governor recommends that this be done, $25,000 of the money thus received be used to buy another home for the governor and the balance of the money used to pay the interest on the public debt. Taxes Due by Western and Atlantic Railroad Losses The governor is of the opinion that the state should recover a large sum of money as back taxes from the lessees of the Western and Atlantic railroad. Suit has been instituted against the lessees for the amount due. That suit be brought against the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad company for possession of the state's property in Chattanooga, Tennessee, now worth more than a million dollars, is recommended by Governor Smith. Purchase of Yards at Chattanooga. The state has options in seventy acres of land in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in addition to the property for the Western and Atlantic railroad. The governor believes it advisable for the state to use these options and buy this land. Georgia Railroad Strike. During the past month a strike by the firemen upon the Georgia railroad resulted in a temporary suspension of the operation of the road. The general manager of the road, Mr. Thomas Scott, was quite persistent in his demand that the governor should take additional action with reference to the disturbance. The governor did not accede to his demand. He believed the course being pursued was the wise and proper course, and could not sympathetic with the reckless nongressional Scout to preceptivate the sensible loss of life and destruction of property. In this connection Governor Smith suggests the passage of a law providing for arbitration of labor differences. That the right of recovery be extended to employees of railroad companies when engaged in intra-state work is suggested by Governor Smith. Other Institutions The governor recommends the work done by the state board of health. Criticism of the treatment of patients at the state sanitarium at Milledgeville has come largely from discharged patients, who, at the time of their supposed mistreatment, were laboring under mental delusions. Governor Smith recommends that the state school commissioner, who is now receiving $2,000-a year salary, be paid an additional $1,000 annually for his services as secretary of the state board of salary of the assistant attorney general could relieve the attorney general. The governor suggests that he be allowed to employ an assistant at the salary of $2,000 annually. Free Agricultural Products From Taxation Governor Smith, urges the passage of a constitutional amendment which will free the agriculture products of Georgia from taxation for twelve months from the time they are gathered. The reason for this amendment is that taxes are assessed during the cotton season and must be sold cotton at that time at a lower price than could be obtained were it held. Park at Griffin. The governor recommends that permission be given the mayor and city council of Griffin to use a large tract of land in that city, used at one time as a state military encampment, as a park. He concluding his farewell message to the general assembly Governor Smith invites an investigation of the record made by the state during the past two years. RADIUM $8,000,000 A POUND. Price Established by Order Given to British Company. New York City.—The price of radium is now $8,000,000 per pound (of twelve ounces). This price has been established by an order given to a British company by Lord Iveagh and Sir Felix Cassel, for 7 1-2 grams, which is little less than one-quarter of an ounce, 'and for which they have contracted to pay $150,000. The radium is to be used in experimental work for the investigation of cures for cancer. Applicaxt — Well, in a bean-guessing contest once I guessed there were 620 beans in the jar and there were 10,762. Oh, not The ideal! The Heless—Is it because I’ve five millions that you love me? Her Sutler—Perish the thought! Why, if you had only a million. I’d love you just as much. Fashions 291997 New York City.—The blouse with the Dutch collar is a favorite one and is so essentially youthful in effect that it is peculiarly well adapted to the 1 young girl. This one can be made either, with three-quarter sleeves finished with rolled-over cuffs or with long sleeves that are cut in points 2811902 over the hands. If the Dutch collar is not liked a high, one can be substituted. The blouse is one of the simple tailored sort and is adapted to a variety of materials. Pongee is being much used and is desirable for many uses. The blouse is made with fronts and back. The back is plain, but the fronts are laid in tucks at the shoulders. There is a patch pocket that is always convenient as well as smart, and the wide box pleat finishes the front. When the Dutch collar is used it is joined to the neck edge, but the high collar is separate and arranged over a neckband. The three-quarter sleeve are finished with cuffs joined to their lower edges, but the long ones are designed to be under-faced. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size is three and seven-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four, three yards thirty-two or two and one-eighth yards forty-four inches wide. Selvedge Edge Draperies. The 'fancy' for 'fuhlics, straight sleeves' and scarfs has brought into fashion the well-defined selvedge. It comes in all materials, even those of silk and wool. It is widely seen on mousseline, veils, chiffon cloth, and even batiste and gingham. A Ten Gown. Picturesqueenness is the note struck by a graceful teal gown in a goff, deep, rosered, veiled with mushroom brown chiffon, and again by mushroom.net embroidered with damask roses and foliage, and hemmed with mink tall, Metallic Colors. Danglers, tassels and fringes may be found in all the modish colors in metallic and jet effects. Close Sleeves. If you wear long, close sleeves, the shoulder line should be long. Don't think to get the same effect with a short shoulder. Sailor Ties Fashionable. The sailor tie is the fashionable shoe. Its ribbon fastening has given way-in many instances to a metal buckle, usually silver or steel. Patent leather is the material most used for day wear; kid, the color of the gown, for evening. Misses' Skirt. Young girls are wearing skirts that give long, slender lines, just as are their elders, and this model is one of the most graceful and the smartest yet to have appeared. It can be made with the high waist line, in princesses style as illustrated, or be cut off and finished with a belt as liked. In either case it fits with perfect smoothness over the hips and is just wide enough about the bottom to allow comfortable walking. In the illustration serge is finished with stitching in taller style. The skirt is made seven gores and the fulness at the back is laid in inverted, pleats. When the princesses style is used the skirt is under-faced at the upper edge. When it is cut off at the waist line it is joined to the belt. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size is seven and five-eighth yards twenty-four, five 1 and five-eighth yards thirty-two three and five-eighth yards forty-four or two and three-eighth yards fifty- two inches wide will be sufficient. A Jumpers Still In Style. As the season wears on it is noticed that many of the smartest gowns are of the jumper class with blouses of net dyed to match the material, the net usually more or less soutached in self tone. Silk Fabrics. There seems to be little doubt that the new weaves of nongse, also silk serege and foulard, will be, the main fabrics of the season. GOOD ROADS Uniform Road Laws. If the States of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey succeed in agreeing upon uniform automobile laws, a first step, and a long one, will have been taken toward remedying the almost intolerably confused and contradictory mass, of statutes and ordinances through which the automobilists now have to make their precarious way. A single State is not large enough for a vehicle with a steaming—or exploring—radius as long as that of the modern touring car, and the number of boundaries of one sort or another that it can cross in a day's journey is so large that it is practically impossible for even the best intentioned of motorists to be sure of what he can and cannot legally do an hour or two after he leaves home. Deep in his heart, too, the automobile always feels that restrictions upon his speed, merely as speed and without regard to its consequences, are absurd in principle and outrageous in application. Hence no conviction of sin tortures his sensitive conscience for exceeding the legal rate, when he can do it without getting caught, and in case of arrest he pays with resentment instead of repentance. The commissioners who have the matter in hand purpose the recommendation of sensible as well as uniform laws, for their intention, if their respective Legislatures agree, is to penalize reckless driving, whether fast or slow, but not forbid any speed in places and at times when it causes neither inconvenience nor peril to others users of the highway. Each State is to issue its own licenses, that being a matter of revenue, zetalously guarded, but each is to recognize the licenses of the others as valid for visits of reasonable length, and that will be a great improvement, too, on the present system in some States, for in them the desire seems to be to make as much trouble for the visiting automobilists as possible. The commissioners promise, if their plans are adopted, largely to increase the automobilist's contribution to the fund available for highway construction and repair. Something can be said in favor of that idea, for the motor car undoubtedly is hard on roads made without regard to the peculiar wear of the new vehicles, but much can also be said against it. If, however, there is a present excuse for imposing a special tax on automobilists, it is likely soon to pass away, for the indications are that before long automobiles will be in nearly as general-use as horse-drawn carriages and wagons, and the change is one which from many points of view should be encouraged, not discouraged. New conditions of traffic should be met by adapting the roads to them. Macadam's great invention has had its day, and now there is need of a road as much better than he taught us to make as that was better than the bridle paths which it succeeded. —New York Times. New Kind of Road Material. The farmers in Central Kansas, as well as the people in the towns, have been interested in good roads for several years, and in this part of the State one can see almost any kind of a made road. At one or two places in this county there are short roads where treatment has been given that is similar to the pavement on Dquglass avenue in Ellsworth. Here there are two blocks that fool four-fifths of the visitors to the town. The treatment of this street was commenced about two or three years ago, consisting of coarse and fine cinders in layers, then a covering surface of salt and alkali scale. The water in this country is very hard and in all the steam boiler at the salt mills and other factories a sort of alkali forms which must be removed frequently; and this, with the salt and alkali scale that forms in the salt pans, is used on Douglass avenue. It forms a hard crust and makes a most excellent street. It is a success on the most busy thoroughfare of this town, and if the supply was not so limited the farmers would use it for the rural roads and more of the streets of this city would be paved with it. The salt and alkali crust on Douglass avenue in now about three inches thick, and this lies on three inches of coarse cinders and three inches of fine cinders. It makes a pretty street, in appearance being like an asphalt pavement before, it becomes dirty. — Eldsworth Correspondence-Kansas City Star. We Build the Best. "The United States builds the best roads in the world, but does nothing toward the maintenance of them," stated Logan Walter Page, director of publits roads of the Department of Agriculture. "The reason the French roads are so much better than other roads," said Mr. Page, "is that they are better kept up. The point to good roads is not so much their construction as their maintenance after they have been built."

SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1909 THE Talbottan white law-breakers were not content with the lynching of the colored man, but even caused the death of a blind preacher whose body was fined in a creek nearby. THE Georgia railroad firemen strike is being heard before the abitrators in Atlanta. The evidence submitted by the white firemen show that they are simply prejudiced against the colored firemen. NOTWITHSTANDING the amount of injustice that prevails in this State and the prejudice that is rampant, our people are making rapid strides along the line of acquiring property, etc. The hundreds of large and fine farms, stocks, homes, etc., owned by them speak volume, and show just how much more could have been acquired under more favorable conditions. Gov. Smith sent his last message to the legislature on Wednesday, and to the very last he had to "do" the Negro, along educational lines. Gov. Smith would hold a large place in the hearts of the people of this State if he were only broad-minded and less prone to crush the weaker class of citizens. No man has ever gained a permanent place of greatness by being unjust and prejudiced. In a few days the books of the receiver of Tax Returns will be closed and all property owners or voters failing to make a return will be doubled taxod. This means much to our people, especially the voters. In spite of the present disfranchisement law, each one of our voters must make this return, and prepare to register when the registration books open in the fall. Our voters must not have the least tinge of discouragement, and when the time comes endeavor to have the race well represented on the registration list. Our Exchanges on Col. Devieux's Death. THE death of Hon John H. Deveaux of Savannah, Ga., removes not only one of the best known but one of the most popular and respected Negroes of the South. He has filled many positions of honor and trust and at the time of his death was Collector of the Port of Savannah, a position which he had filled for many years with perfect satisfaction to the patrons of the office and the Government. He was one of the few race leaders who held the confidence and esteem of the rank and file of the people both young and old from the time he entered public life until the day of his death. He was truly a leader and was identified with every movement for the interest of the race and was as prominent in fraternal organizations as he was in politics and other public movements. His death will give the President another opportunity to emphasize his policy as regards Southern appointments.—American Baptist. Col. Deveaux died June 9th 1909 at his home in Savannah, Ga. He was collector of customs for the port of Savannah. He had been in the custom service more than forty years. At one time he was the ranking military officer in Georgia. He was among the first to establish a permanent Negro newspaper in Georgia. For some years he was the Grand Master of the colored Masons of Georgia. He was a lover of his race, a prominent society man and always advocated justice to and for all with whom he had dealings.—Southern Christian Recorder. Colonel John H. Deveaux, collector of customs for the port of Savannah, Ga., since the first election of President McKinley, died last Wednesday night and his funeral was held at his home last Saturday afternoon, the Rev. Richard Bright, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, officiating. A native of Savannah, where he was born 61 years before his death, Colonel Deveaux was known and valued as an exemplary citizen. While a clerk in the custom house in 1876, when Savannah was stricken with yellow fever he, with two clerks remained with the collector at their posts, although the department had granted all permission to fly for their health the collector and two of his clarks were stricken with the fever and died, leaving Deveaux alone in the office to discharge all duties and keep Savannah open as a port. He was collector of custom at the port of Brunswick when the yellow fever broke out there and many fled. He remained at his post through this epidemic and distributed large sums of money to fever sufferers, that were sent to him. Col. Deveaux was connected with the national guard of Georgia for over 20 years, and the Legislature of his state, by special enactment, had commissioned him as colonel for life. He was a member of one of the oldest Masonic lodges in the state, and a grand master for 14 years, and had been active in the councils of the Order in later days. He was also a prominent Odd Fellow and one of the original members in Georgia. He founded the Savannah Tribune in 1876, which paper has been published, with slight alterations ever since His hand and heart was never closed to a worthy object of charity, and many a youth can well recall the help he has given them to reach a higher plan of usefulness.—Jacksonville Metrolips.

Editor: SAYANNAH TEURNE; Sir: I am glad to note that there seems to be a growing tendency on the part of our people to concede that there may be honest difference of opinion, and yet that difference need not degenerate into abuse of one by the other. As far as I have heard, in the discussion of conditions as relate to the various organizations among our people in Georgia, especially the Odd Fellows, no brother or officer has been charged with robbing the treasury. There is a vast difference between dishonesty and mismanagement. The one may exist without the presence of the other. For example, I have contended that the expenditure of twenty two thousand \dollars by our Executive Committee to purchase a place in Atlanta amounts to mismanagement, especially for a piece of property that was returned for taxation at only $5,500,00 in that the expenditure was not only not authorized by law, but is positively prohibited by law. The law expressly provides as follows: "The fund hereby created (Endowment fund) shall not be drawn upon nor used for any other purpose whatsoever, than the payments of the benefits provided for under section 3 of article 1 of this act." Section 3 under article 1 provides for the collection of the endowment money. If law is worth anything, then our committee has transgressed, and that too in face of the fact that it is its plain duty to see that the law is upheld. No question of expedition can palliate the violation. When there is open violation the rank and file of the Order, the 'uneducated,' if you please, will object, especially when that violation as in this instance may jeopardize the interests of our widows and orphans. A 'yulgar" "defy" and epithets and course denunciations deceive no one, and should find no place in these discussions. The flamboyant offer of a reward for that which one knows is or is not obtainable, however grandiloquently flaunted, is not always misunderstood. "A word to the wise is sufficient." "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." For the benefit of all concerned, I solemnly declare that whatever may have been done to me at the meeting has not actuated a single statement that has appeared in these articles. "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in Unity." R. 61 P. Official Route. The Knights of Pythias Uniformed Ranks and Calanthes, have, selected the Seaboard Air Line Railway as the official route to Thomasville. The special train will leave the Union Station in the morning of the 12th, arriving in Thomasville in the afternoon. The Seaboard can always be relied upon to furnish the best coaches and give the kind of treatment that the traveling public is in so much need. The officials of this company are among the most accommodating and the employees are always courteous to all classes of patrons. Delegates and those going to Thomasville must keep in mind the S. A. L. as the official route and see that their tickets are purchased that way. A Glorious Meeting. A Glorious Meeting. The A M Union Allen Christian Endeavor League that was held at St. James A M Church on last Sunday was one of the best in the history of the League.

F. A. B Church. The members and visitors who attended the 11 o'clock service on last Sunday morning at the First African Baptist church, listened to a very able sermon, preached by the pastor Rev W L Jones, from the text Joshua 14:12, subject "The call for the reward for honesty." The sermon was indeed edifying and instructive, and one could readily see the theme of his discourse, Mr. and Mrs. June Lewis presented their infant daughter at the altar for prayer. At the evening service the Rev. C B Collins of South America preached a soul stirring sermon from Revelations 6:16, subject "The rocks and mountains." At the conclusion of his sermon many came to the mourner's bench for prayer, which was offered very fervently in their behalf by Brother Martin Lawton. While the choir rendered a beautiful anthem the doors, of the church were opened for the reception of members by watch-care, letter, or Christian experience, and four stalwart young men from Boroughs, Ga., united themselves with the church by letters. The finance report of the church for the first quarter was read by the church clerk at the conference on last Monday night, and was gratifying to the members. The excursion to Beaufort, S C on last Tuesday came up to the usual high standard. The pastor and officers are clated over the trip, and express much thanks to the members and many friends for their patronage. Rev. R B Williams of Macon, Ga., who conducted a very successful series of meetings here during the spring, was a distinguished guest aboard, and ex pressed himself as having enjoyed the trip and the hospitality of the members immensely.

At 11 o'clock services began and the choir was at its post and sang beautifully. The pastor. Dr. Townsley preached an able sermon which took him one hour and five minutes to complete. It was a baptismal sermon and the text was "I indeed baptizes you with water unto repentance; but he that cometh after me is mightier than I". At 3 p.m he preached for the Masons at the Masonic Temple, Dr. Hadley, presiding elder of the northwest Georgia Conference was with us all day and at 8:30 p.m preached an excellent sermon from Acts 9:3-4.

Safe the Saviour keepeth My beloved one; Rest, sweet rest He gaye her, When life's work was done. Though we miss her sadly, Still we know that gladly She is watching by: All through life to guide us, And to stand beside us When death draweth nigh. Now for strength we're praying While in faith we're saying "Tis thy will O God: All things wise Thou rulest, And in mercy schoolest I to kiss thy rod." Her children, Arthur J. Andrews, Lula Andrews, Helen B. Andrews In sad but loving remembrance of my beloved husband ARTIE L JOHNSON, who died June 24, 1909. Gone but not forgotten. He's fed from this prison of sorrow and pain He has gone from the places that knew him before; Where the fetters of death cannot bind him again; And the cry of affliction cannot reach him again. He is missed at the shrine of a loving wife's heart; But most he is missed at God's Altar of prayer; I mourn for my husband neath the moon silver beam I weep for my beloved at Aurora's pale heath; But our plains cannot break the deep slumber of death.

FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN PLATFORM TO SCRAP NOG ON Raiso Some Sheep. Every farmer who has any grazing land can profitably raise some sheep. Hilly pasture 'land' is in abundance in many sections—hills that have not been cleared of their timber—and there are millions of acres of such land, which will afford good browsing for sheep or Angora goats.—Farmers' Home Journal. Allowance of Food. Of course some brood sows have a greater tendency to lay on far than others, and this tendency is kept within proper allowance by using less corn. A sow at farrowing should not be overly fat, but should be put in 'good round condition as soon as practicable after pigs are weaned. — Farmers' Home Journal. A Good Idea. Dr. L. O. Howard, entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, has sailed for Southern Russia, for the purpose of securing further introduction of parasites to prey on the gypsy and brown tatt moths. It is well known that something has already been done by the department at importing enemies of these moths. Such has been the success attending this measure of aid against these destructive insects that the authorities are encouraged to follow up this line of defense against their spread. Weekly Witness. Hog Killing on the Farm. In order to do great and rapid work at hog killing time it is necessary to have a good scraper, sticking knife, a hog hook and a place that is convenient for working. For scalding a barrel is commonly used, and it is all that is needed unless the hogs are very large. If very large hogs are killed, a scalding tub will answer the purpose for scalding PLATFORM TO SCRAP HOG O much better than a barrel. I have one which is made of two-inch planks for the sides and ends and sheet iron for the bottom. It is six feet long and three and one-half feet wide, with a depth of two and one-half feet. Two hooks are fastened near the top on one side, with a pair of trace chains to run under the hog to facilitate the turning, and withdrawing from the tub. It is placed over a furnace, which is made by digging a trench in the ground, and when in use I place pieces of wood across the bottom, in order to keep the hog from coming in contact with the iron bottom and getting too hot. I find that the proper temperature for good scalding is from 180 to 190 degrees, and if a barrel is to be used the water should be boiling when dipped out of the kettle, as the barrel will cool it some. If a scalding tub is used the water should be cooled by adding a bucket of cold water before the hog is put in. To insure a correct heat of the water use a thermometer. Small quantities of lye, ashes or lime will have no effect in removing the hair, but will cause the scurf to come loose more readily. Keep the hog in constant motion while being scalded, and draw it out into air occasionally. When the hair and scurf slip easily from the body the scalding is completed. In scraping and cleaning the hog I clean the feet and head first, then the legs and last, but not least, the body. I hang the hog with a rope and pulley, as it is more easily hung in this way than any other. But it may be hung with the ordinary gambrel, a stick which is sharpened at each end and inserted under the tendon strings of the hind legs. A short singletree will be found to answer for a gambrel stock. If there is sufficient help at hand the hog may be hung on a pole put up for the purpose. After the hog, is hung up, rinse it down with scalding water, remove the entails by running a sharp knife lightly down, marking the belly straight, cutting to the bone between the thighs and in front of the ribs, which bones I split with an axe, being careful not to cut beyond them. I usually salt down on a bench or in a box as soon as it has cooled enough to trim. The amount of salt I use is ten pounds to every 100 pounds of meat. In addition to the salt I also use two pounds of granulated sugar and two ounces of saltpeter mixed. Rub the meat once every three days with one-third of the mix- ture. While it is curing pack it in a box in a cool room, where it will neither become warm nor freeze. Two barrels may be used, changing the meat from one to the other each time it is rubbed. After the last rubbing let the meat lie in a box for a week or ten days, then take it out to smoke. When taken out of the box dip each piece in a kettle of boiling water and let it remain half a minute, after which sprinkle with a little powdered borax on the meat side and hang. Smoke it four or five days with hickory chips or corncobs, then dip and sprinkle it with borax again and put it down in clean day. Meat treated in this manner may be left hanging all summer and will remain in the best condition.—W. Hanson. - Herses and Blind Bridles. Those who use blind bridles on driving horsgs assume to supplement nature in behalf of the horse, whereas they are seriously obstructing nature. The eyes of the horse are given him to see all about him and to thus aid him in giving the best service possible in the safest way possible. It is not only cruel to use blinders on horses but it handicaps his usefulness and makes him more dangerous. The following in a letter to the Breeder's Gazette from a man who has for many years been training horses, is excellent and to the point. He says: Most any of us would as soon be buried as to lose our eyesight, and yet men, by the use of blinders on bridles, unhesitatingly deprive the horse of all the means he has of satisfying himself that nothing will hurt him. They also deprive him of seeing what little beauty and sunshine there is about him. Not content with making a slave of this noble creature seven days of the week, they must deprive him of this last pleasure, his life and SURFACE beauty, this little index to his emotions telling his fears, whether he is happy or sad, hungry or weary, slick or well. When permitted the use of his eyes he uses them with great judgment; he sees better than we do, can measure distances better and if allowed the use of his eyes would save himself from collisions on the street, washouts and bad ruts in the road. Should you be thrown suddenly out of the buggy, or the buggy break, he could see the trouble and stop. Break a horse in a blind bridle and never let him see the buggy; a month later you are driving along the road, the blinds get adjusted wrong, the colt looks back over the top of one, sees the buggy and kicks it all to pieces, endangering the life of yourself and family. But he is not to blame; self protection is his first thought. I saw a man not long ago lead a horse with a blind bridle up to a wagon. As the horse stepped around he tumbled over the tongue. Of course his master whipped him for it. Cruel master. First deprive him of his eyes, then whip him because he cannot see! Is it any wonder he does not want to lead up to the tongue? This is an every-day occurrence, and not only does it happen at the wagon tongue, but the horse runs against the barn door, steps on your toes and gets a good beating—all because he cannot see. No horse is so bad about shying as the horse with defective eyesight, and a horse will get scared much worse at any object when the blind gets between him and that which he fears. A man once paid me $20 to break a team that would get scared and run away. I took his money, gave him a pair of open bridges and the team is perfectly safe; but it had cost him a broken leg, and had torn up two sets of harness, smashed a buggy and broken wagon tongue. And yet they say a blind bridle is the best. I was talking to a man one day on this subject and he said he knew blind bridles were the best because nearly everyone used them. With an argument! There was a time when nearly everybody thought the earth was flat, but they were wrong. He said, too, that a horse looked better in blind bridles. What an idea! A little piece of black .ther look better than the eye—the life and beauty of this noble creature! Yet few men have a better reason for using them. POULTRY DEPARTMENT RAISING DUCKS. Case in Point Where They Did Better Without Water. We confess that after raising ducks in a small way for three years we cannot satisfactorily say whether it is profitable to raise ducks without giving them access to water. This year we raised them without letting them have access to water, excepting for drinking purposes. During the summers of 1906 and 1907 we raised 200 Mammoth Pekins and the youngsters took to the water, within eighteen hours after being taken from the incubator or within twenty-four hours after the old hen came off the nest with them. The water, a small stream, was within 300 yards of the hatching place and every duck, with one accord, took a bee line for it, says a writer in Farm and Home. We had good luck with them. This year we kept watch of the youngsters for several weeks, keeping them away from the water. In a few weeks they would range around the feed within twenty paces of the brook but have never taken a swim. We have the Pekin and the Indian Runner breeds, and for the past sixty days or more they have grazed in the pasture, often going almost to the edge of the brook. They seem to be perfectly healthy and content and we have not lost a duck by disease, nor had any slick or ailing. After eating they go through all the motions of a swim, dipping themselves and going through the motions as if they were in the water. We like ducks because they are so healthy and so easily controlled. We aim to market the Pekins at ten weeks old and expect such ducks to average fully five pounds or over. To reach these figures they must not have too much range or too much exercise. It seems to me that the breeding ducks should have free access to water. I believe the eggs will be more, fertile and the ducks healthier and stronger. Alarm For Poultry House. By arranging a wire to pass from the hen house door to a bell on the veranda of the house, after the manner shown in the accompanying illustration, warning will be given when A Poultry House Alarm. the door of the poultry house is opened. If anything is wrong in the hen house and the alarm is given, a man can close the door of the hen house while standing on the veranda by pulling the wire which is attached to the bell. During the day the wire can be unhooked and thus relieve the bell from duty. If desired, suggests Prairie Farmer, the bell can be placed outside in a box, which will make it sound louder. Cost of Food. According to the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, the cost of food per chick, to weigh one pound, on ground grain, is three cents; on whole grain, three and seven-tenths cents. After making repeated tests in feeding, this station says the ground grain ration proved considerably more profitable than the whole grain ration for the growing chicks; and the same was true of capons of equal weight and age, fed alike before caponizing. No difference was noticed in health or vigor of chicks or capons fed either ration. A Prize Bird. BARRED P. ROCK COCK. Good Morning Feedd.

A The Granite Monolith Erected at Hambledon, England, to Mark the Birthplace of English Cricket—On the Left is the Old Bat and Ball Inn The Granite Monolith Erected at Hambledon, England, to Mark the Birthplace of English Cricket—On the Left is the Old Bat and Ball Inn A man in a hat and suit stands in front of a house, holding a bag and a pipe. Cissy—"What makes Jimmy howl like that?" Tommy—"You'd make a noise, too, if you were as full of fiddle strings;"—Sketch. A granite monolith was recently unveiled at Hambledon, a little village in Hampshire, to mark the actual birthplace of English cricket. The Hambledon men invented cricket a century and a half ago, and in celebration of their exploit a Hambledon team has been playing All England. Twelve, famous cricketers from the All England team came down to play and to witness the unveiling of the monolith, an event scheduled to be brought off by Dr. W. G. Grace, the dean of English cricketers. Time passed, but the doctor did not appear The Granite Monolith Erected at Hard place of English Cricke Old Bat and and at midday a telegram was received saying that he would shortly arrive on the train. The train drew in, and a burly, bearded man was seen at the window of a first-class carriage. "Dr. Grace!" cried a delighted porter, waving his hand as a welcome to Hambledon Festival. The bearded, broad-shouldered man cheerfully waved his hand in recognition of the salute and alighted. His ticket was taken by an obsequious and highly gratified collector. All the cabs and carriages were at the cricket ground. The only vehicle in the yard was waiting for a well-known hunting man. He heard the cries, "Grace is here," and then "There he is," and at once placed his carriage at the disposal of the distinguished arrival, and in company with a photographer, who was waiting for a chance to snap the great cricketer, drove him to Broad Halfpenny Down. Hambledon village was a-flutter with flags and bunting in honor of the famous match and as the carriage passed the word spread that Dr. Grace was the smiling gentleman with the enormous beard. Each time cricket was mentioned, however, the "Doctor," with great modesty, switched off the conversation suddenly. He talked of fishing, shooting—anything but cricket or himself. When Broad Halfpenny Down was reached the driver hurried down to inform Mr. C. B. Fry, the captain of the Hambledon team, that Dr. Grace had arrived. The moment Mr. Fry saw the newcomer, however, his eyes twinkled. It was not Dr. Grace at all, but his double. It was discovered later that Dr. W. G. Grace could not come, owing to other engagements. The double subsequently wrote a humorous letter of appreciation to the London press. The' granite memorial, which faces the old Bat and Ball Inn, where the Hambledon cricketers have always met, bears the inscription: Hambledon Cricket Club. Circa 1750—1787.

Useful Notes. The late Rev. Henry Codman Potter, greatly objected to the use of notes. At one time he was addressing a number of young theologians on the importance of not being too closely confined to a manuscript. By way of illustration he told the following anecdote, about a clergyman who Bmledon, England, to Mark the Birth- set—On the Left is the Dall Inn. was called upon to officiate at a funeral: "When the minister arrived at the town where the deceased had lived he had just time to make a few inquiries about his traits and achievements, the results of which he noted on a memorandum. His eulogy at the service, as reported, was about as follows: "Our dear brother, whom we mourn to-day, was a man of rare character and ability. He had the mental capacity of a'—referring to his notes—'Daniel Webster, the tagt of a'—again consulting his memoranda—'Henry Clay, the pertinacity of a'—another reference—'Ulysses S. Grant.

The Law and the Optimist. Pessimists, assured of man's retrogression, should study the laws of the eighteenth century. In kindness, at least, man has advanced. When the supposedly wise Blackstone wrote (1769) there were 160 offences punishable with death—offences such as growing tobacco, cutting trees, stealing linen put out to dry, etc. Had Blackstone been really instead of only supposedly wise, he would surely have worked toward the repeal instead of toward the tabulation of these incredibly stupid and barbarous laws. Lecky says: "The law which condemned a man guilty of high treason to be cut down while half hanged, to be disembowelled and have his intestines burnt before his face, was still executed in ghastly detail." Those who compain of justice's frequent mis-carriages may see from these facts that stupid laws and wicked laws are not a modern innovation. The law has always trailed behind the race.

The human stomach stands much abuse, but it won't, return good health if you give it bad food. If you feed right you will feel right, for proper food and a good mind is the sure road to health. "A year ago I became much alarmed about my health, for I began to suffer after each meal, no matter how little I ate," says a Denver woman. "I lost my appetite and the very thought of food grew distasteful, with the result that I was not nourished and got woke and thin. "My home cares—were very heavy, for beside a large family of my own I have also to look out for an aged mother. There was no one to shoulder my household burdens, and come what might I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. "I read an article in the paper about some on with trouble just like mine being cured on Grape-Nuts food, and acting on this suggestion, I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. The first dish of this delicious food proved that I had struck the right thing. "My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain disappeared as if by magic, and in an incredibly short space of time I was again myself. Since then I have gained 12 pounds in weight through a summer of hard work and realize I am a very different woman, all due to the splendid food, Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Trial will prove.

Any White Woman Looks a Beauty to a Man on His Return From Long African Trip. Generally Proposes to the First One He Meets and Repents Soon Afterward. BY LEWIS R. FREEMAN. While there may be found here and there among the native women of Africa one who has some claims to beauty, as beauty is understood by a European, the vast majority are ugly, and even repulsive in appearance. It is not wholly surprising, therefore, though it is amusing, to hear a white man who has seen no other kind of woman but these for a year or two tell how his first meeting with a out of the running, and the lad who had proposed and been forced out. "By the time the Congo had been warped alongside Tillibury Docks I was entirely satisfied in my own mind that I wanted to marry what I firmly believed was the most beautiful, talented and winsome woman I had ever encountered; but determining to do the thing decently and in order, I took the address of the lodging to white woman affects him after his return to civilization. A stewardess on an Elder-Dempster steamer—about the usual run of her class for looks and personality—assured me that she has averaged two proposals every homeward voyage during all the three years of her service, nearly every one of which, as coming from a man far above her station, she had religiously made a point of accepting. Out of all these men—I forget how many dozen in all—not one had ever come back for her after he had crossed the gangplank. Several of them had made return trips to Africa with her without so much as vouchsafing her a nod, but one who had made the London voyage from Africa for a second time on her steamer had repeated his proposal. No, she never brought a breach of promise suit, but a stewardess on another of the Dempster liners had done so, only to lose her case on a ruling by the judge to the effect that a man who had not seen a white woman for two years was not responsible for what he said to the first one he met on his return. Usually the stewardess is the only white woman one encounters on a London bound West African steamer, but occasionally there are two or three others and conditions are proportionately aggravated. I always hear with increasingly keen enjoyment the recital of a California friend of mine—a well known mining expert—of his experience when thus exposed. He was returning from an eighteen months' trip in the back country of the Gold Coast, and on the steamer, invalided home, was an English nurse, sole survivor of a party of four who had attempted to take charge of a coastal hospital. All Wooed One Woman. "I thought I had seen a number of handsome women in one place and another," said B. in telling the story, "but from the moment I came aboard the Congo and saw her propped up in her deck chair under the after awning trying to hold her white hand steady enough to drink a cup of beef tea the, stewardess had brought, I told myself that all the others bulked as a clay wall pocket to a true fissure vein in comparison with her. Unluckily aboutt two dozen other chaps seemed to feel the same way, and every fifteen minutes of the waking hours of the two weeks' voyage the doctor had to charge down and break up the solid wall of humanity which surrounded her chair to let the trades blow in enough oxygen to keep her from fainting. There was a man to swing every rib of her fan, with enough left over to chase every fly that lighted on her over the rail and into the Atlantic. After breakfast, luncheon and dinner we regularly drove off the negro allah and shouldered each other not any too politely for a chance to pull her punkah. I don't think that I ever really proposed to her, but several of the other chaps did, and one poor devil made a pretty serious feint at jumping over the rail the night that she turned him down. No two of us actually came to blows over her, but the atmosphere of the smoking room was as frigid as that of an icebox, and the only ones who were really popular with their fellow passengers were a chap who was confined to his stateroom with fever and was therefore BIRDS WHICH CARRY DISPATCHES Consul Henry D. Baker, of Hobart, makes the following report on the utilization of pigeons in Australia for carrying messages. An experiment of using homing pigeons for regular communication and emergency service between Hobart and Maatsupker Island light-house, about seventy-five milts southwest of Hobart, is meeting with signal success, and was the means in November of probably saving the life of an assistant at the lighthouse, who was able, sixteen hours after sending for a doctor by pigeon post, to obtain needed medical relief. The pigeon-post service with this lighthouse was established by the marine board of Hobart on January 21, 1908. The first message, which was dispatched from the lighthouse at 10 a. m., was received in Hobart at 1.30 p. m. Since that time three birds have been liberated with messages every three weeks, it being also understood that if accident or serious illness occurred three additional birds were to be set free. Twelve birds in all are used for the service. While messages have not always reached their destination safely, generally speaking the service has been thoroughly satisfactory. At the present time the messages are written on a piece of paper and tied under the bird's wing; but the marine board has an view some celluloid cases which out of the running, and the lad who had proposed and been forced out. "By the time the Congo had been warped alongside Tillibury Docks I was entirely satisfied in my own mind that I wanted to marry what I firmly believed was the most beautiful, talented and winsome woman I had ever encountered; but determining to do the thing decently and in order, I took the address of the lodging to which she was going, and begged permission to call upon her with my sister. In due time the call was made. Miss B. was out, but at my urgent request sister left a note inviting her to spend a week with us at Maidenhead, where my brother-in-law had taken a home for the summer. A couple of days later she wrote us saying that she had engagements covering the next three or four weeks, but at the end of that time it was possible that she would be able to give us a few days of her company. My hated rivals were getting ahead of me, I thought, and I was a good deal cast down until, at the end of three or four days, another letter came to say that she had cancelled her engagements, and was at liberty to come down at once. I got sister to wire her to come the following afternoon, and spent the interim rehearsing a proposal. The Test of Comparison: "She came a couple of trains earlier than we had expected, and I was out when she was driven up to the house. When, eager with anticipation, I came back sister met me with a puzzled expression on her face. 'John,' she said, 'I'm afraid there has been a mistake. Are you sure that the Miss Agnes R. whom we invited down here is your friend from Africa? You said she was very beautiful. Isn't it possible that the wrong person got our note?' "Absurd! I scouted, brushing past her in my haste to gain the terrace, where an entrancing bundle of white was silhouetted against the sombre ivy beyond. 'I'd know her hand-writing among a million.' "I bounded up the terrace yards in advance of my sister, to pause aghast before the apparition of a gaunt, middle aged stranger who was smiling weakly up at me from a seat by the tea table. I knew her by her coral brooch—I had bought it for my sister the day I left Africa—her Maufiti lizard skin handbag—that was from Captain Broadstairs—and the mole on her left cheek. Those were about the only familiar things I noticed. Yet she probably had not changed at all in the week since she had left the steamer. I had been seeing other girls that was all. "We made a brave effort to make her visit a pleasant one, but it was no go. The same thing had probably happened at the other places she had tackled, and was, no doubt, the reason for the sudden setting forward of our date. On the second day she began speaking of pressing invitations she had received, and on the third day she went back to London. And it was not until the carriage had rattled out of sight down the driveway with her that my sister turned and asked me how it was that I had never mentioned that Miss R. was crosseyed. And for the life of me I can't recollect noticing it until that ghastly moment when I found her waiting on the terrace."—New York Tribune. Very Distant. "Are you related to Barney O'Brien?"

"About two years ago my eyes got in such a condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly inflamed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time a friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were considerably improved and in two weeks they were almost well.

ATLANTA HAS OVER 160,000 Fulton, Chatham, Richmond, Bibb, Floyd and Laurens. Are the Six Largest Counties in the State. Atlanta, Ga.—The population of Georgia at the present time approximates 3,000,000 people. The population of Atlanta and suburbs, including Fulton county, is nearly 150,000 people. The five other large counties in the state, in point of population, are: Chatman (Savannah) . . . 106,075 Richmond (Augusta) . . . 86,570 Bibb (Alea) . . . 83,735 Laurens (Dublin) . . . 61,510 Floyd (Home) . . . 47,010 The gain in population in the state since the federal census of 1900—3 1-2 years — has been 738,513 people. The census of 1900 gave Georgia a population of 2,216,331, and the exact figure, according to latest estimates, is 2,954,544. The estimate gives Fulton county an exact population of 178,160 people. At least 90 per cent of these are inhabitants of Atlanta, hence Atlanta's population at present is 160,244. The federal census of 1900 gave Atlanta $9,STZ people. The gain in the last 9 1-2 years has, therefore been 70,372. These figures are based upon the recent school census taken under the direction of the state school commissioner, and the estimates here recorded were worked out along the lines of the latest percentage tables adduced by the United States Bureau of Washington. The figures are, therefore, as nearly correct as it is possible to make them, and it is believed their accuracy will be vindicated when the federal census for 1910 has been taken. The other twenty-six counties of the state that take rank among the first thirty-two are led by Muscogee (Columbus), with an estimated population of 45,805. County: Population (Est.) Muscoogee 45,803 Washington 36,316 Merlwether 36,080 Carroll 35,952 Coweta 35,772 Jackson 35,048 Troup 34,743 Decatur 34,548 Burke 33,116 Thomas 32,544 Gwinnett 22,132 Sumter 31,960 Emanuel 30,720 Hall 30,344 Cobb 29,938 Bullock 29,418 Palaski 28,732 Bartow 28,700 Hancock 28,444 Houston 27,648 Lowndes 27,484 Walton 26,832 Pike 25,741 Jefferson 25,348 DeKalb 25,300 Wilkes 24,782 The population of Monroe county is here recorded, because of the narrow margin by which it seems to have been crowded from its former place among the twenty-six second largest counties, in point of inhabitants. Monroe 24,522 The recent school census of the state showed the presence in Georgia of 738,711 children between the ages of 6 and 18 years. The United States census bureau estimates, according to its tables, that the children between the ages of 6 and 20 years represent 20 per cent of the entire population; experience has, however, convinced the federal census officials that the proportion of children in the south Atlantic states is greater than elsewhere in the country--that there is less "race suicide" in this section of the country. Assuming that children are more prolific in the south Atlantic states, a school census would ordinarily represent a greater percentage of the entire population than 20 per cent, but the census bureau bases its 20 per cent estimate upon the number of children between the ages of 6 and 20 years, whereas the school census recently taken in Georgia included only children between the ages of 6 and 18 years, therefore, the school census estimate. If total openers to minimize the total population. But in the interest of accuracy, the following system was observed in making the foregoing estimates: In the counties of Fulton, Chatham, Richmond, Bibb, Glory and Muscogee the cities of Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Mason, Rome and Columbus, the twenty per cent rule of the census bureau was observed, but in the rural counties the school census was taken to represent 25 per cent of the whole. The reason for this discrimination finds excuse in the general belief that children are more prolific in the country than in cities, which, according to the Rooseveltian theory, is to the credit of the country districts. The school census, regardless of the population estimates, has an interesting political significance. The state constitution provides that the six largest counties, in point of population, shall have three representatives in the state legislature, and the twenty-six next largest counties shall have, each, two representatives. The reapportionment of legislative representation will follow the taking of the 1910 census by the federal gov- BIG COTTON SALE 2,700 Bales Sold at LaGrange for Over Eleven Cents.

Well Bros. of Montgomery, Ala., bought 1,400 and Inman, Abers and Inman, of Atlanta, taking 1,300. The average price received was a fraction over 11 cents per pound. ernment. The school census, however, forecasts the relative rank of the counties, so that it is easy to indicate which of them will be favored in the matter of representation. The county of Thomas, with Thomasville as its county site, which is now and has for many years ranked among the first six, and had three representatives in the legislature, will lose her place, and Lauren's county, with Dublin as county site, moves up among the select six. Thomas county's displacement has been anticipated ever since a large part of the country was sliced off by the legislature and placed in the new county of Grady. Young gain in population has been surprising. From an obscure position among the twenty-six second largest counties she not only displaces Thomas, but jumps over Floyd and practically clinches her position among the Nig. Sig. It seems that Monroe, Tattnall, Doooly and Elbert will certainly lose their rank among the twenty-six second largest, and after 1910, have only one representative in the legislature. Pulaski, Hancock, Pike and Jefferson, it appears, will move up a peg, and have two representatives each. In the 1910 election, Pulaski and Hancock have been marked, while both Pike and Jefferson have jumped over many other counties in the master of growth.

THE THIRTY.NINTH ANNUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE GRAND LODGE A SUCCESS. An Enthusiastic and Harmonious Gathering From Every Part of the State—The Session a Veritable Love Feast. The Thirty-Ninth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons for the State of Georgia, was held last week in Americus, Ga., beginning on Tuesday morning and closed the next afternoon, accomplishing all of the business, and attending to much, and possibly more than it requires other institutions three or four days to do. The session, was held in the spacious auditorium of the Wildows' and Orphans' Home, and long before the time of calling on, a large number of the brethren had gathered in the opening with that zest and spirit which characterized the entire communication. The truly brotherly ovation that greeted Grand Master Butler, proved how he stood in the estimation of the brethren, and this was accentuated throughout the communication by the great respect and deference paid him while presiding. After the appointment of the committee on credentials, it took but a short time for this committee to prepare its report and render same. The Grand Lodge was then called on in simple form and the Grand Secretary read the minutes, which were approved. After preliminary business was attended to, and the dinner hour arrived, there was a call to refreshments until the afternoon. Immediately after the calling on, the Grand Master read 'his report. It was the best ever heard from the Grand East. While it was a very lone one, yet it attracted the rapt attention of every brother and its salient points were punctured with applause. In his report Grand Master Butler was not unmildful of the practical things in every Mason's life. He admonished them to live true Masonic lives, secure halls for their lodges, improve what they have; cultivate the friendship of their neighbors, secure homes and do all of those things that behoove all good Masons. Aside from these admonitions, Grand Master Butler touched on every phase of the working of the orderland gave a short and interesting account of his European trip last summer. This report should be read by every single member in the jurisdiction. It will give inspiration and be the means of doing much for the upward growth of the Grand Old Order. The report of the Grand Treasurer showed the Grand Lodge to be in good financial standing. The Grand Secretary showed that his collections from the lodges were flattering and gave some useful statistical facts about the order in the state. The report of the Secretary-Treasurer of the Relief Association was received with deep interest, and each word was eagerly caught by the delegates. This report showed that the department is in a healthy condition, and that its success has surpassed all sanguine expectations. The craft can congratulate itself for having such an excellent brother and officer at the head of this department. Each of the other departments rendered able reports. These reports show progressiveness, and that the order is in good condition. Even the work done by each committee proved this, and shows that even the committeemen were imbibed with the idea to do and to do for the best interest of all concerned. To prove the good spirit that exists and the confidence that delegates repose in the old officers, it required but a short time to re-elect them all, and too, by acclamation. The following are the officers for the ensuing year: M. W., H. R. Butler, Grand Master, R. W., G. R. Hutto, Deputy Grand Master. R. W., A. L. Felton, Grand Senior Warden. R. W., J. H. Walker, Grand Junior Warden. R. W., G. L. Bowen, Grand Treasurer. R. W. Sol C. Johnson, Grand Secretary. M. W. Alexander Harris, Grand Chaplain. W. J. A. Grant, Grand Lecturer. W., P. W. Bacon, Grand Marshal. W., A. W. Ryles, Grand Persulvant. W., D. Harris, Grand S. B. W., L. B. Hill, Grand Tyler. The honor for the installing of these officers fell to the mother lodge, and well did Worshipful Master G. L. Binyard, assisted by Past Master L. H. Burdell, perform this duty. One of the reports that elicited favorable comment, was that of the committee on Foreign Correspondence. Brother Thomas rendered one of his best reports. It showed that our jurisdiction is on friendly terms with all jurisdictions, and that we compare favorably with any of them. The committee on Memorials rendered a touching report, remembering each deceased brother reported, and especially did they pay a glowing tribute to Past Grand Master J. H. Deveaux, as follows: "We cannot close this report without making special reference to the life, labors and death of our worthy brother, Past Grand Master, John H. Deveaux. "The loss of this worthy man will be felt by the state at large. He moved in an extensive sphere. As his connections were extensive and important, his loss must be proportionately great. As a man, he was kind, humane and benevolent. As he was sociable, as he was communicative, he seemed rather designed for the theater of action than for the shades, of retirement. His life was a scene of anxious labor for the benefit of others. The amiability of his disposition was recommended by a dignified and majestic appearance. His address was manly, familiar, engaging. As he lived much loved, he died much lamented. As a brother he was loving and affectionate; as a friend he was constant and sincere. But his kind offices will no more be experienced. Cold, silent, he lodges in the dust. Let us cease to mourn, and dry up our tears, for we shall see him again, not in this Grand Lodge, but yonder, yonder, we trust in the grand, yes, in the Supreme Grand Lodge, where Elohim presides, there with Desverney and Terry and the departed Grand Masters of all earthly jurisdictions, we shall meet him on the level, never, no never, to part again. Probably before another year is passed, many of us will be sleeping in the dust. Let us be prepared, let us have our tasks all worked out, and be found ready. We will then possess a hopeful immortality; a hope that entereth into that within the vell; where the forerunner has for us entered, and when the heavens and the earth shall be dissolved and pass away, we will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of God." The announcement of the death of Past Grand Master John H. Deveaux, was received with regret and sadness. Brother Deveaux was among the most active members of the Grand Lodge. For about twelve years he acted as Grand Master, and several years as Grand Secretary, he being one of the founders of Grand Lodge. He rarely missed a communication of the Grand Lodge, and possibly during all these years he has only missed four. The brethren will surely miss him, but they bow submissively to the will of Him who knows best. Past Grand Master Harris missed his first session this year on account of illness. He is now in his ninety-first year, and is much beloved by the brethren. To prove how harmonious affairs are in the jurisdiction, one has only to hear the report on Welfare and Grievance. But few cases were before this committee and each of them were of minor importance and were disposed of without discussion. Every brother who attended the communication of the Grand Lodge is loud in praise of the same. It was a revelation to many of the new ones to perceive how harmoniously the business was transacted, and for the great amount of brotherly feeling shown in every measure. It was a veritable love feast, and one that will be long remembered. It was intimated that the Grand Lodge would meet in Savannah next year. This was received with delight by the delegates. It has been nearly fifteen years since the Grand Lodge met in this city. It has not been fully decided as to the meeting in this city. At the close of the communication each brother went away fully imbbed with the idea of working more assouloously for the upbuilding of the craft in their several communities. The Tribune and friends of the craft wish Brother Butler abundant success during his ensuing Masonic year. NEWSY GLEANINGS. The year 1908 was a bad year for mining in New York State.
