STORM WRECKS KEY WEST VOL. XXV. Gulf Hurricane Hits Island City Causing Great Damage. TROOPS ARE CALLED OUT Vandals Loot City---Government Asked to Send Troops---Property Loss Runs Into the Millions. --- Key West, Fla.—As a result of the hurricane which struck the southern coast of Florida, Key West is a mass of wreckage and the damage to property is estimated at $2,000,000. Martial law was proclaimed by the mayor and the Key West Guards patrolled the city. The United States government has been asked to dispatch troops here without delay to assist in patrolling the storm-swept area. Chaos reigned on every hand and few people remain in their homes, hundreds of which have either been totally wrecked or damaged. It is known that many received more or less serious injury; and reports are current that several lives have been lost, but these have not been verified. While the hurricane was the worst that Key West has ever experienced, the local weather observer announced that the entire east coast of Florida suffered terribly. Of 100 local vessels in the harbor but five remained at anchor, the others having gone to sea or been washed upon the beaches. The streets along the water front are a mass of wreckage. Brick as well as frame buildings throughout the city suffered alike from the fury of the heavy wind and many miraculous escapes from death or serious injury have been reported. Besides the several score of residences, either totally wrecked or blown from their pillars, nine factories were partially destroyed. As soon as the wind had subsided vandalism began. The city police force was unable to cope with the situation and the mayor decided to take strengent measures, to suppress the looting, his proclamation of martial law resulting. Havana, Cuba.—The most serious cyclone since the big blow of October 17, 1905, struck Cuba, causing extensive devastation through the whole western portion of the island. In the city of Havana many minor buildings were blown down or unroofed; almost all the trees were uprooted and five persons were killed, one by an electric wire and the others by falling buildings. "About twenty-five persons were injured. The greatest damage done was in the harbor, where forty or fifty lighters, launches-and small flugs were either sunk or blown ashore. The total damage in Havana and Vienna is estimated at individual loss has been caused by the destruction of half the coal elevator conveyors of the Havana Coal Company at Casa Blanca, estimated at $200,000. It will be possible to raise the greater number of the wrecked lighters and other craft. Communication with the interior of the island was .interrupted except with parts of Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces, in which the orange and other fruit crops suffered severely. The tobacco crop has not been seriously affected, beyond the washing out of the seed beds, which at this season of the year are capable of renewal. SIMPLE LIFE A FAILURE Colony in Europe. Becomes Entirely Bankrupt London, England.—The famous "simple life" colony at Ascona, above Locarno, has become bankrupt, and its German grometer, Herr Aedenwoken-Hofman, announces that the sanatorium, chalets and hunts on "Monte Verita" are for sale. This colony, which was started on the simple life plan about six years ago, was at first a great success. German, Austrian, Italian and other distinguished foreigners of both sexes went in for the simple life, but the fair sex always predominated. Several duchesses, many baronesses and countesses, clothed in a kind of white sack, with bare feet and flowing hair, lived on wild fruits and vegetables, and took sun and snow baths. They sold their jewels for the benefit of all in the colony, and were the chief adherents and supporters of this simple life society. The men, with their nowing robes and uncut hair, resembled Indian fathers. The views of most of them on social problems were too advanced even for the colony, and several of them were asked to leave. MEXICANS ILL TREAT AMERICANS. Crew of Fishing Schooner Relate Stories of Cruelty. Pensacola, Fla.—Relating stories of injustice and cruelty on the part of Mexican officials, in whose custody they, remained for eight days without being given an opportunity of seeing the American consul or getting word from Colm Caitlin Joseph Schlease and the crew of the fishing schooner Caldwell H. Colt, reached here from Progress. They were then released by the Mexicans, but the latter held the vessel on the charge of poaching. The men claim their vessel was caught in storm and that they put in under a dee to make repairs when seized. MORSE DENIED NEW TRIAL New York Financier's Sentence of 15 Years Sustained. New York City—Unless the supreme court of the United States reverses the decision or the president of the United States interferes, Chas. W. Morse' one time ice king, coastwise steamship line organizer, banker and capitalist, will serve fifteen years at hard labor in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. After having been at liberty under $125,000 ball since June 17 last, he is back in the Tombs prison, where he contemplates the decision of appeals rendered sustaining the judgment of the lower federal court, which found him guilty in November last of violating the national banking laws. There was solace in the decision of the court of appeals, however, in that only ten of the fifty-three indictments on which he was convicted were sustained, and on the strength of his counsel, Martin W. Littleton, will immediately carry the case before the United States supreme court on a writ of certiorari. To this end the United States court of appeals has granted a 40 days' stay of execution, and, pending a decision by the supreme court, application will be made to have the prisoner again admitted to Morse took the decision calmly, but he was plainly grieffried and perhaps surprised. He heard the news in the office of the United States marshal, and was almighty immediately taken to the Tombs, Mrs. Morse was with her husband in the marshal's office during the entire morning. One of Morsse's keenest regrets at being forced to return to prison is the interruption of his beaver-like struggle to rebuild his fortune. Since his liberation under ball he had been reelected president of the Metropolitan Steamship Company, a New England corporation, and of the Hudson Navigating Company, operating a line of boats on the Hudson. He is credited with having discharged the bulk of his debts. From the big transportation lines that within the week elected him his president there was no official statement forthcoming after the decision. It is understood that for the time being, at least, the elections will stand. WANTED TO GO TO JAIL Man Made Bogus Money to Get Into Prison. Cinclnattl, Ohio.—Confessing that he had made and passed counterfeit money, William B. Pettus, a former school teacher of Carter county, Kentucky, was sentenced by Judge Sater, in the federal court, to 20 months in Leavenworth prison. Pettus told the court that he entered a counterfeiting business because he wanted to get into jail "to keep from starving." During the trial it was discovered that Pettus had served a term in the Colorado state reformatory, and that he had been incarcerated in a Virginia insane asylum, after having tried to clean up a whole family with a half dozen razors, as he expressed it on the witness stand. WILL BUILD AIRSHIP LANDINGS Atlanta Church, in Erecting New Building, Prepares for Future. Atlanta, Ga.—Anticipating that airships will be in common, every-day usage 20 years hence, the board of stewards of the Wesley Memorial Church, which edifice is rapidly nearing completion, adopted a motion instructing the building committee to so arrange the roof of the building that there will be no difficulty in adapting it to commodious airship landings. Committee was requested to see to it that a large staircase runs all the way to the roof and that the electrical wiring be so installed that proper lights can be displayed about the landings, and wire taps will be convenient for the recharging of exhausted dry battles. Cleveland Children In Europe. Lausanne, Switzerland—Mrs. Grover Cleveland, accompanied by her daughters, Esther and Marlon, and sons, Francis and Richard, arrived here. It is understood that the children will be placed in a school here, and that Mrs. Cleveland will take up her residence nearby for an indinite period. First Killing Frosts. Nashville, Teen.—There was a killing frost throughout this section. Because of the lateness of the season the damage will be small. Thin ice is reported. Huntsville, Ala.—The first killing frost of the season fell here. The late cotton crop is believed to be damaged to a considerable extent. Auto Only 3 1-2 Feet Lonn. New York City.What is said to be the smallest complete automobile ever constructed has arrived here. It is the property of W. J. Durand of New Iberia, La., president of the Louisiana Automobile Club. It is 3 1/2 feet long, and 18 inches wide, most of the parts being made in France, by special order. Train Ran Into Burning Bridge. McNell, Texas.—Fireman O. J. Sutton was killed and eight persons were injured when an engine and, two cars of the Austin and Northwestern Railway express train plunged into a burning bridge over Watters Creek, near here. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1909. Washington. The commissions of several additional supervisors of the next census have been signed by President Taff and forwarded by director of the census, Durand, and to the appointees, Among them are Livingston F. Mr.Clellan, Stone Mountain, for the fifth and sixth districts of Georgia; James L. Michie, Darlington, for the sixth district, and Earnest, M. Dupre, Columbia, for the seventh district of South Carolina. The National Geographic society, in response to a proposal from the Peary Artic club, adopted a resolution agreeing to join the American Geographical society and the American Museum of Natural History in requesting Dr. Ira Romsen, president of the National Academy of Sciences, to appoint a committee to examine a report on the Artic records, observations and data of Commander Robert E. Pearly and Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Acting Secretary of War Oliver sent a dispatch to the commanding officer of the administration at Key West ordering him to render such assistance to the sufferers by the tornado there as may be required by the mayor in the direction of maintaining order in the city. There was a small increase in the amount of excavation on the Panama canal over August, according to a dispatch received from the chief engineer of the isthmus. September excavations were 2,838,385 cubic yards, compared with 2,755,178 cubic yards in August. An increase in the amount of concrete laid during September is reported, but a small reduction in the amount of fillit placed in the dams, dams. At the conference of Money Order experts of the postoffice department, to be held in Washington every phase of the money order system will be considered in detail, with a view to reducing expenses and increasing the efficiency of the work. The most important subject to be considered will be the suggestion that identification of the holder of a money order be waived and the orders be made payable at any money order office, thus making money orders practically currency. With the object of having removed the charge now assessed patriotic persons who visit the tomb and home of George Washington at Mount Vernon, on the Potomac, the Mount Vernon Anti-Flee association has inaugurated a movement to have active steps taken in congress to secure an appropriation for the maintenance of the historic estate that it shall no longer be necessary to conduct Washington's home as a species of "museum." As a token of friendship and good will, the North American colony in the city of Buenos Ayers is preparing to present to the Argentine Republic a statue of George Washington. The presentation, according to information to the International Bureau of American Republics, will take place at the Argentine celebrates the centenary of her indomitable There are probably a thousand American residents in the Argentine capital. Although the governmental expenses are reducing, Postmaster General Hitchcock does not overlook the value of the cat in the postal service. He authorized an allowance to be made for the support of cats in the large offices of the country. The cost of their maintenance comes out of the annual appropriation made by congress for "miscellaneous items necessary and incidental to offices of the first and second classes." During the present fiscal year the department will expend approximately $135 for "cat meat." Cats are recognized by the department as employees, and so carried on the rolls. Throughout the country they are used in the various postoffices to minimize the depredations of rats and mice, experience having demonstrated that the annual destruction to mail and equipment caused by the rodents runs into an immense figure. General. Approximately $100,000,000 will be expended by the various iron and steel companies in the Pittsburgh district for new plants in 1910. Of this amount $15,000,000 will be expended by the Jones & Laughlin Steel company, $55,000,000 by the United States Steel corporation, $6,500,000 by the Republic Iron and Steel company, $15,000,000 by various smaller concerns and $6,000,000 by the Bethlehem Steel company. The Protestant pastors of Detroit have agreed to apply to evangelization work—the Tammany method of electionering, known as "cart-tall campaigning," but automobiles will be used instead of the humber vehicles. The pastors will obtain machines of wealthy church members at hours when the owners are not using them. The ministers will ride to prominent street corners and give informal talks upon religious matters. When Miss Anna Connor of Mexico Mo., was married to A. Coffman of Bartlesville, Okla., she received a most unique wedding present. A former admirer presented the bridal couple with a fine pig gayly decorated with bright ribbons. A Swiss watchmaker of Neuchatel, who recently invented a watch for the blind, had scarcely placed his invention on the market than he was inundated with orders. The watch has no glass and its face is of enamel. The hands are invisible and are placed inside the case. The figures of the watch work automatically, appearing a little above the enamel face, as the hands pass underneath. A blind person can, with a touch of his fingers, tell the time in an instant. ALL EUROPE AROUSED IS ANOTHER DREYFUS CASE King Alfonso Refused to Interfere in Spite of Protests of the Popo and the King of Italy. Barcelona, Spain.—Francisco Ferrer, who was convicted of prompting the recent Barcelona rebellion, was shot in Montfuch prison in execution of the death sentence imposed upon him. Professor Ferrer, Spanish educator and convicted revolutionist, faced the firing squad without flinching, and fell dead at the first volley. The execution was in the face of the protests of Pope Plus, and King Emmanuel of Italy. His execution is looked upon as the spark that will set off the revolutionary magazine and the life of King Alfonso is in danger. "Alfonso will pay with his life for the death of Ferrer"—that was the threat the revolutionaries held over the Spanish government—and Ferrer is deaf. All Spain is aroused to the danger and the crisis is rapidly spreading throughout Europe. Protesting demonstrations were held all over Europe and in Spain an uprising is feared. In Paris, in Rome and at many other points in Europe the Spanish consulates are under heavy guard. Moves against them have already been made by excited crowds. The larger cities of Alfonso's domain are under a semblance of martial law and every available trooper is held in readiness. Extra guards surrounded the palaces and the military holds Barcelona with a firm hand. There the first outbreak is expected. The death of the Barcelona school master, who was arrested on September 1, in a town not far from Barcelona, when he carried nothing more deadly than a camera and a notebook, has sent a tremor throughout the continent. Not since the Dreyfus case has such interest been aroused in the fate of one man. The Ferrer'affair is regarded as a new Dreyfus case—in fact—and the firing of the shots before which he fell is taken as the signal for a war of factions in comparison with which the battle for the honor of the French army officer will appear as nothing. Spain will be riven by a bloody civil war if the threats of the revolutionaries are fulfilled. Italy is aroused almost to the same extent as Spain. Throughout the peninsula mass meetings to protest against the action of Spain have been held. In many points of France similar action has been taken. In Germany there have been demonstrations also. The cry of the radicals is that Ferrer was condemned, not because he was a revolutionist, but because he founded a modern school whose teachings were opposed to those of the schools fostered by the Spanish government. The daughter of the schoolmaster is hiding in Paris. From here she sent a pitiful appeal, against the wishes of her father, to King Alfonso, asking clemency. Her only reply was the news published of the execution. INTERNATIONAL BELIEF FUND. Recommended by the Peace Bureau in Session at Brussels. Brussels, Belgium.—The permanent international peace bureau at its session adopted a resolution, suggesting that the various governments of the world join in the creation of an international fund for the relief of sufferers in the event of the occurrence of great disasters and part of the world. The relief bad management of the funds subscribed for the relief of victims of the recent Italian earthquakes prompted the suggestion. A motion was also adopted favoring the interdiction of the throwing of explosives from airships in time of war. U. S. SENATOR WILL BETIRE Flint of California Quits to Provide for His Family. Los Angeles, Cal.-Senator Frank P. Flint announced that when his present term of service expires on March 4, 1911, he will not be a candidate for re-election. “If I were a rich man,” said Senator Flint, “I would like nothing better than to remain in the senate all my life. But I feel that I owe it to my family to get out of politics. “My associations in the senate are very congenial, indeed; I have practically no opposition for a renomination and, the sole reason for contemplating-retirement is the urgent necessity of providing for my family.” MADE FALSE CIRCULATION STATEMENT Publisher Given Six Months in Jail by Judge Landis. Chicago, Ill.-Roy Keator, publisher of a weekly newspaper, was sentenced to serve six months in the Bridwell by Judge Landis, in the United States district court. Keator was indicted on a charge of making false circulation statements to obtain second-class mail rates. He admitted that in order to get advertising he had represented the circulation of his paper to be-100,000, when, in fact, he had but 1,000 subscribers, and that he had placed many names on his subscription lists without authority. The periodical was an agricultural journal. SOUTHERN RAILWAY REPORT. Prosperity Returning According to Report of President Finley. Washington, D. C.—A substantial increase is shown in the gross income of the Southern Railway Company during the tenure of annual report of the fifteenth annual report of President W. W. Finley. The report says the return of business from the low level of panic conditions of 1907 was slow, but substantial during the past year. The total gross income for the year was $17,737,699, an increase over 1908 of $3,890,793. The progress in the south indicated in the report, which shows that during the year 453 new manufacturing plants were completed. More than 70 per cent of the year's tonnage originated in the south. PUT FLOWERS ON WRONG GRAVE For Fifteen Years Woman Weekly Decorated Wrong Spot. New York City—"Please do not put any more flowers on my grave." was the message on a piece of cardboard, which Mrs. McDonald of Brooklyn found on the grave in Mount Olivet Cemetery, on which for fifteen years she had been placing flowers weekly. Believing that it was the grave of a dear relative, Mrs. McDonald was indignant and protested to the superintendent of the cemetery. He looked up the records and found that her relative was really buried some distance from the grave, which she had been so faithfully decorating. Longest Balloon Flight. Richmond, Va.—Winning the Lahm cup for the longest flight made in a balloon under the auspices of the Aaero Club of America, and breaking all speed records for long distance flights, A. Holland Forbes of New York and former Mayor Max Fleischmann of Cincinnati, landed in Chesterfield county, twenty miles south of Richmond. Starting from the gas works in St. Louis, the distance of 731 1-4 miles was made in nineteen hours and fifteen minutes, at an average rate of 38 miles an hour. Remarkable Mode of Sulcide. Asheville, N. C.—Leaping from beside his watchful keeper, who was accompanying him on a walk, J. R. Giles, of Wilmington, N. C., an inmate of an Asheville sanitarium, jumped head-long beneath the wheels of a 15-ton steam roller and his head was crushed out of shape by the ponderous wheels of the machine. Temporary aberation, for which Mr. Giles was being treated here, caused this remarkable mode of suicide. Bandit at Bay Kills Self. Chicago, IL—A fashionably-dressed bandit, who robbed the savings bank of D. M. Erskine & Co., in Highland Park, Ill., a village north of Chicago, committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth, when driven to bay by an officer and posse of citizens. Newsy Paragraphs. Missing from his boarding house for about a month, and believed to be the victim of foul play, George House, in the employ of the Packard Land company of Pensacola, Fla., was traced to the jail of the District of Columbia, where he is serving a term of nine months for assault. When House dropped out of sight, diligent search was made for him. Among the more important features of the aggressive program adopted by the recent Chicago Convention of the National Women's Trades Union league were: State pensions for working mothers during sickness or disability, the eight-hour day for women workers and the elimination of night work, protected machinery, sanitary workshops, separate toilets, more women as factory inspectors and a minimum wage scale. The deathed confession of Vice President Philip Allen, Jr., that he had forged notes to the value of $400,000, which he had borrowed from the First National bank of Mineral Point, Wis., threw the bank's depositors about its doors. Allen confessed after an inspection by federal authorities. He is now dying of bright's disease. The will of Mrs. Nelson Morris, recently killed in an automobile accident in Europe, bequeaths nearly $400,00 to charitable institutions. Relatives get $300,000 more, and the remainder goes equally to the four children, Edward and Ira N. Morris, Augusta Rothchild and Maud Morris Schwab. "The United States need not worry about prosperity," said Benjamin Gugenheim of the smelter trust, on his return from Europe. "Rather it should worry about a scarcity of high-grade labor and a possible famine in the transportation facilities." He was convinced that prosperity was coming on with a rush and that it would include Europe as well as America. The Illinois food commission started a crusade against dealers deceiving the public with artificially colored and smoked fish, hams, bacon, sausage and other edibles. Examination showed that most of the "salmon" in the market was carp from the Fox river and other near-by streams. They were first given a bath of pink and then subjected to treatment in "liquid smoke." Ruth Bryan Leavitt has announced her candidacy from the First Colorado district on the democratic ticket. As president of the Jane Jefferson club, she hopes to support the sup. port of the women voters, as well as many of the many of the republicans intend to nominate a woman in the same district. NO.4. Roosevelt Is Beaten—Judge Says That Panama Canal Deal Did Look Suspicious. Indianapolis, Ind.—Judge A. B. Andersen of the United States court of this district dismissed the proceedings against Delavan Smith and Chas. R. Williams, proprietors of the Indianapolis News, who were resisting removal to the District of Columbia for trial under a grand jury indictment charging them with having committed criminal libel in publishing articles alleging that there was a corrupt profit of $28,000,000 in the sale of the Panama canal to the United States. "I am of the opinion," said Judge Anderson, "that the fact that certain persons were called 'thieves' and 'swindlers' does not constitute libel per se. A newspaper has a certain duty to perform. As a former president has said, it is the duty of a newspaper to 'print the truth about it.' It is the duty of a newspaper to draw inferences for the people. "Now; there were many peculiar circumstances about the whole Panama cana business. I can't wish to匿住test reflecting upon anybody in or out of office, except such person or persons as I may name. The revolution in Panama, the circumstances concerning it, were unusual and peculiar. "That man has read the history of our institutions to little purpose," said Judge Anderson, in concluding Lis decision, "who does not view with apprehension the success of such a proceeding as this to the end that citizens could be dragged from their homes to the District of Columzia, the seat of government, for trial under the circumstances of this case. The defendants are discharged." PREAGHER RETURNS TO PULPIT. One Week as Conductor Enough for Rev. D. H. Carrick. Lawrence, Kan—Rev. D. H. Carrick, recently resigned from the pastorate of the North Lawrence Presbyterian church to become a street air conductor here, because he explained, "ministers were not, honest," and "that a man could not earn an honest living as a minister" has quit ringing up each fare in the presence of the passenger, after one week's service as an "honest conductor." He will go east to conduct evangelistic services. Mr. Carrick had been the North Lawrence church's pastor only a very short time when he resigned and said wealthy men who control the churches made it impossible for their pastors to live honest Eyes, and that the pastors' wives were criticised if they wore good clothes at the congregation's expense. TURNED UP TROUSERS UNHEALTHY. Blamed for Influenza, Which Has Made Its Appearance in London. London, England.—Influenza Chas made its appearance in London in the guse of catarrhal infection of the nose and throat, usually technically and severe variety. A phylclan with one of the great London hospitals has suggested as one of the causes of the outbreak the habit of turning up the trousers. This fashion, he says, is responsible for many autumn coughs and colds contracted before the system has had time to become accustomed to the constant foot dampness which for every Londoner is a winter portion. The turned-up edges of the trousers become soaked through, and then act as wet bandages around the ankles. SEABOARD MERGER. Williams Talks of Consolidation of Lines. Richmond, Va.—John Skelton Williams, upon his return from New York, where the reorganization committee of the Seaboard Air Line has been in session, confirmed the reported merger of the branch lines of the road with the parent system. The southern roads included in the Seaboard merger are: The Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line, operating 237 miles. The Florida West Shore, operating 70 miles. The Plant City, Arcadia and Gulf, operating 19 miles. The Catawba Valley, operating 22 miles. The Tallahassee and Sotulern, operating 29 miles. KILLING PRAIRIE DOGS. Kansas City, Mo.-More than 750, 000 prairie dogs have been killed by J. W. Holman, the officially recognized United States-government poisoner of the pests in the southwest states, during the last eight months and Mr. Holman is not through is here now obtaining a new dose of strychnine. "I am going to kill at least 000 dogs during the new months," Mr. Holman said, "rife dogs are a serious, per-southwest, especially in the government pays Mr. Holm one-half cents per head." long in total Two Thousand Dollars , and which are held by the Plate of Georgia , by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly , approved October 22d, 1887 , and amended December 8th, 1892 . State Confronted by Estimated Deficit of $728,565. NEW FISCAL SYSTEM NEEDED Appropriations Are Made Year or More Ahead, While Money Is Collected Atlanta, Ga.-The expert accountants employed by Governor Brown to look into the state's financial affairs have madeth eir report. This fairs have made their report. This gia is steadily running behind in its finances. The relation of outgo to income is far from being accurately adjusted. Unless its fiscal operations are speedily reformed, the state will get deeper and deeper in the hole. The estimated deficit on January 1, 1910, according to this report, will be $728,566.50. The bulk of the state's revenue does not begin to come in until the fall of each year. The tax books close on December 20, but tax collectors have from then until April 20 following to make their returns to the state treasury. Some counties invariably hold back remittances until even a later date. This means that the state requires from twelve to sixteen months from January 1 of each year to collect the money to run the government during the year. The amount of kiting which the state must do to meet this situation would shame an impoverished bank clerk. In an effort to get all the light possible on the situation, Governor Brown recently ordered a detailed investigation into the state's financial affairs. The contract was given to one of the leading firms of accountants in the south. After a thorough investigation of the state's fiscal operations and system of bookkeeping, they have made a report which Governor Brown has given out. This report shows that for the year 1908 the state spent the sum of $81,878.68 in excess of its income for that year. For the present year the excess of appropriations over-estimated revenue is put at $232,208.14. In other words, the state treasury is now out $314,086.18. The reason for this deficit grows out of the fact that appropriations are made in advance and on the basis of estimated revenue. The legislature usually counts on a certain increase in tax receipts growing out of the increased valuation of property. Sometimes the general assembly overshoots the mark. Then a deficit results. As a matter of fact, the income received from the rental of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, from inspection of oil and fertilizers, and from special taxes, furnished enough to keep up the legislative, executive and judicial establishments. Then the governor is authorized to borrow $200,000 to meet casual deficiencies. But there is never enough money in hand to pay the teachers of the state SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Agenor Treasurer of the State of Georgia. their salaries when due. As usual, they must wait until the tax returns begin to come in during December. To correct this situation, Governor Brown would have the constitution of the state amended so as to permit an issue of $600,000 of bonds to put the state on its feet. RATE INCREASE ON GEORGI AROAD. After Nov. 1, Passenger Fares Will Be at Rate of 2.12 Cents Be at Rate of 2 1-2 Cents. Atlanta, Ga.—The Georgia Railroad will, beginning November 1 next, charge 2 1-2 cents per mile for transportation of passengers over its line instead of o thef 2 1-4-cent rate, heretofore charged. Authority for this increase was granted by the railroad commission of Georgia by a unanimous vote. The Georgia Railroad has made several attempts to have the railroad commission grant it authority to charge a 2 1-2-cent rate, but has heretofore been unsuccessful. In its petition it sets forth that a rate of 2 1-4 cents was unreasonably low, and not fairly compensatory; that the Central of Georgia, Atlantic Coast Line and other roads serving the same territory were allowed to charge the higher rate. Mr. Candler in his decision dismisses the claim of discrimination growing out of the lower rate which the Georgia Railroad is pow permitted to charge, as compared with other roads in that territory. He holds the argument untenable and sets forth that the commission fixes rates on "each road" in the state. He shows that different freight tariffs are charged and no claim of discrimination is made on that account. REMEDY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE. Black Fungus is Said to Be Enemy of Dreaded Pest. Atlanta, Ga.—In the accidental discovery of the black fungus, peach growers believe they have at last found a successful remedy for the San Jose scale, one of the worst foes of the orchard. This fungus was first discovered in Florida, where orange growers used it in combating a certain infection in their groves. It grows on the limbs of trees, and produces a light feathery growth which the wind blows to other trees. This growth, thus blown by the wind, lands on the scale-infected trees, and kills the scale. Hitherto orchardmen have depended on sprays to kill the scale. This method is not infallible, and is very expensive. The fungus eliminates expense and works its own cure without aid. SHERIFFS MUST PAY CAR FARE. Railroad Commission Refuses to Allow Them to Accept Passes. Atlanta, Ga.-The sheriffs of Georgia must continue to pay regular rates when they ride on trains and street cars in this state. The railroad commission closed its ears against the petition of the sheriffs to be permitted to accept free transportation. The sheriffs pointed out that their income was small, but the commission saw in the granting of the application a dangerous precedent. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. WAS AFRAID OF BANKS. Sumter County Man's Money Destroyed by Fire. Americus, Ga.—Bearing a blackened mass of molten silver, representing the wreck and ruin of a small fortune to himself, John Fish came to Americus to ascertain the value of his property. Fish's house was burned and among other valuable consumed was a considerable amount of bank notes totally destroyed. Fish was afraid of banks and kept all his money concealed in his dwelling. FERTILIZER BULLETIN. Tags for 884,295 Tons Were Sold During the Season. Atlanta, Ga.,—Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson is sending out the fertilizer bulletin for the season of 1908-1909, which shows that tags have been sold for 884,295 tons of fertilizers, and cotton seed meal for use in Georgia this year. The department has no way of knowing how much is actually used, except by the amount of tags sold. This represents an income to the department of agriculture of something like $88,000. After all expenses of inspection are paid by the department, the law requires that the balance of this sum shall be apportioned among the eleven district agricultural colleges of the state. The season just closing has been unusually heavy, as there were 2,274 brands of fertilizers inspected during this season, as against 1,822 of last season, which, according to Dr. R. E. tSallings, state chemist, Is the heaviest laboratory work done since the establishment of this department. In his remarks, Commissioner Hudson says, in part: "We are glad to report that, in the main, there is an improvement of business conditions in Georgia, as compared with last year. Unless there is a change in the present outlook, our cotton crop will very probably be somewhat short of that of last season in acreage and yield. Seldom has there been a better prospect for a fine yield of cotton in South Georgia, and the small grains also show an increase in acreage and in yield." He concluded his splendid address with an appeal to the farmers of Georgia to place their farms upon a businesslike and self-sustaining basis. This bulletin contains a number of the best fertilizer formulas known at the department, and it is interesting to know that practically every one of them includes cotton seed meal as one of the principal ingredients for commercial fertilizers. Cotton seed meal, too, is being sold throughout the state under the pure food law as a cattle feed, for its value as such is even greater than as a component part of a commercial fertilizer in that the manure of cattle fed with cotton seed meal is as good for fertilizing purposes as the original cotton seed meal. In the neighborhood of 20,000 bulletins are being mailed but to the farmers of Georgia by the department of agriculture. HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Phone 1192. Gz. Phone 2029.

A great corn carnival will be held in Albany on the 16th of November and arrangements are being made to bring to this city for that occasion one of the largest crowds ever gathered in south Georgia. Many features are being planned to make the occasion one of peculiar interest. One will be a display of corn from every county in this section of the state. This has been the greatest corn year in the history of this section. The acreage was the largest ever planted, and the yield has been phenomenally large, the crop having been practically made before the drought A total of 18,61 corporations doing business in Georgia have failed to comply with the state law which requires registration annually with the secretary of state, and the filing of rertain information regarding their character and amount of capital stock. Of these 1,697 are domestic and 164 are foreign corporations. A natural rainmaking machine, mystifying to all beholders, is reported at Rome. In the yard of Councilman S. B. Chambers, on the north side, is a plum tree whose leaves shed a steady moisture twenty-four hours a day. When viewed in the sunlight the phenomenon has the appearance of a slight sprinkle of rain, and the falling drops can be plainly felt at night. Several observers are willing to take an oath that on cool mornings what appears to be flakes of snow slit down from the tree. There is a similar "rain tree" on the ex-Mayor Mims' property on Peachtree street in Atlanta. This tree, which is of the cotton wood variety, has been showering without cessation for over a year. ADDRESS THE HOME OFFICE, 453 West Broad St. Persistence of the The Soul Is More of a Real the Body By Charles Nevers Hoe T It is true that of coming dawn morning, and to existence. We are frozen, lifeless same landscapes gorgeous buttman's more glorious al body must so ed and guarded comes the liberty. It is nature represents his mour mortal eyes dead. Our friend has been in more other environment by the human. The soul of atoms constitute ego is more a r to feel too keenence to be a cruc fore we exist, a create life to me at the grave! It is true that we dwell amid the dark, with only the first faint glimmers of coming dawn to illuminate our ignorance. But to every night there is a morning, and to the night of our terrestrial life will come a day of future existence. We ramble beneath the skies of winter and gaze sadly over the frozen, lifeless landscape. All is dead—it is death!—yet in a few weeks this same landscape will blossom into the glories of a springtime resurrection. The gorgeous buttery will flit from flower to flower, symbolic in its birth of a man's more glorious awakening into a newer and nobler life. Our terrestrial body must soon return to its natural condition, because the life that warmed and guarded it will be expelled; but with the death of the body there comes the liberation, not the death, of the ego. It is natural to mourn over the body of our friend, because that body represents his memory, and we have never seen, probably never can see with our mortal eyes, his soul or ego. But our friend is not dead; only his body is dead. Our friend has merely escaped from his tenement of clay where he has been in more or less uncomfortable imprisonment, and has enferred into other environments, not controlled by human hands, not to be comprehended by the human mind in its present state of development. The soul or ego can no more be destroyed and annihilated than can the atoms constituting our terrestrial bodies be destroyed and annihilated. Our ego is more a reality than is our body, and we are able to think too clearly, to feel too keenly, and to execute too accurately for earth and earth's existence to be a cruel and miserable hallucination. We are able to think, therefore we exist, and if we once exist we shall forever exist. Nature does not create life to mock that life; the Creator does not create man to blight him at the grave! Landsman and Sailor Ey L. Frank Tooker dent on land, w regularity, bring kept them from and its attendan would, cross the more stoutly coat sea in a storm ejaculated, "God—The Century. dent on land, while the great passenger ships come and go in monotonous regularity, bringing no reports more stirring than those of high seas that have kept them from making new records. With the present madness for speed and its attendant recklessness, our streets demand constant alertness, if one would, cross them with safety. Speed at sea has come through larger and more stoutly constructed ships. So the familiar old story of the sailorman at sea in a storm who, serene in his consciousness of ample sea room, piously ejaculated, "God help the poor folks ashore tonight!" is not wholly fantastic,—The Century. HE immortality of the soul, of the ego, of one's own existence, is at all times a vital and interesting question for discussion. By immortality we mean, of course, that our ego—ourself—can never perish, but on the death of our body will continue to exist under changed conditions. What these changed conditions are, what these future environments are, we do not know, but most of us admit publicly or privately the naturalness and the certainty of the souls immortality. O the landman the sea must always possess dangers that to the sailor appear only as casual phenomena upon which to exercise his skill. The prayer-book has a special petition, for the safety of those who go down to the sea in ships, and every one who ventures to leave the shore goes forth with a consciousness of awe at his own daring. Yet in the intricate complexity of modern civilization safety on land and safety at sea have walked by no means with equal step. Every morning brings us some story of death or acci- filled with the theories of cantilevers and swing spans, but unaquafainted with actual bridge building or tunnelling for the road; Archie Kenton came to the surveying party fresh from college. He found the men surveying for the C. P. & O. along the north fork of the river, and was taken on as a rodman. Then began days of hard work, for the country was wild and mountainous. The river found its fountain head in a residual glacier of the Sierra, and twisted down from the mountains like a white, seething band, winding in eddies over tortuous chasms, and crashing into the canon with a deep and hollow tumult. Two miles up the canon the stream fell over huge granite columns three hundred, feet high. Then, gaining headway, it tore through the narrow gorges, tumbling and swashing, carrying with it the trunks of tamaracks and incense cedars that the onrush of the waters had loosened upon the slopes. The railroad had sent out a party of eight engineers to make a preliminary survey of the region, and Kenton had joined the men at the mouth of Bald Rock Canon, on the western slope of the great California range. Here the valleys and hills were covered with groves of sugar and yellow pines, and vast growths of spruce and cottonwoods. The snow was still lying deep upon the mountains. Kenton was not unacquainted with the wildness of the country. He had worked for a month in a lumber-camp farther down the river. As a "swamper," he had been the side partner of a big lumbering Canadian, old Pete. Kenton soon perceived that he had made a mistake in boasting of his university training, for the lumbermen and river drivers admired brawn more than college learning. He was often angered by the retort of old Retford's every suggestion. "Did you learn that in a book?" But Kenton-only smiled and took it all naturally. Pete was taken on by the surveying party along with Kenton, as a sound maker. Expecting a response, Kenton sphered to the party that Kenton was a college man. But the result nonplussed him. When the men finished taking their lines at the mouth of the canon, Williams, the chief engineer, selected Kenton to go with him into the canon ahead of the main parly by several hours. As the two men made their way along the left bank, guiding themselves by the stream that roared unseen by their side, they found progress slow and laborious, for no trails led through the gorge, and a path had to be cut through dense growths of chaparral and laurel. Overhead the trees came together, forming a close net work through which the midday sun sifted as through a screen, piercing In gold-green flakes the deep shadow of the wood. After an hour of tedious climbing, Kenton led the way into an open space close to the river, where the glare of the sun opened before them again. Williams noted the condition of the river bed and the slopes. Back against the sides of the canon rose great walls of granite, looming gray and dark hundreds of feet in the sky. Ahead, the river fell over jagged cliffs, hurrying into cascades that fell gracefully over great boulders, and sweeping into its course the taliuses of rock and soil at the base of the slopes. It was a wild place, where unseen animals hurried away through the crackling undergrowth at the sound of strange voices. The mountains rose in nebulous pencils against the bright sky above the cliffs, their outlines faint in the blue haze of the early summer. Where the men stood, the river spread out into a wide crystalline pool. The engineer, pointing to the opposite side, turned to Kenton. "There's an iron spring over there," he said. "When the river narrows we'll go over." Farther up the canon they found, the ground crisp with sulphuric crystals, and dotted with clinker rimmed holes. Here the stream narrowed into a sparkling cascade that dropped into basins of granite far below. A few hundred rods above the falls the stream narrowed again, this time to fifty feet, and flowed more smoothly. On the opposite side lay many dead trunks of trees, that had been girdled by porcupines and left rotting. The stumps remained, however, rising to the level of springs that bubbled among the boulders. THE physician is, primarily, the product of a demand. He stands for that part of the human economy that feels the need of a prop. You encourage him to overreach himself, often, by expecting to separate cause from effect, and relieveills in an hour that took a lifetime of longer in the making. Left to his own judgment the doctor would not drug you; but you have forced him to educate himself in those.subtle devices that eventually mislead you, and often himself as well, by appearances that stimulate natural processes. He dwells upon drugs, sickness and death to the popular medical opinions of the day. All of them are useful against, and the issue, which is of personal and vital interest, is how to be cared for drugs and routine. If a physician can practice medicine completely and not juggle policy and principle, he has accomplished a feat, solidum attainable. In fact, I doubt if it is ever done, continuously—Dr. A. L. Mitchell, from "A Physician's Farewell to His Patients." Williams unloosed the hundred feet of rope he carried, and lassoed, after much trouble, one of the stumps. Throwing the other end round a tree close to the bank, he drew the line taut across the river, fastening the end securely and curling the extra rope round the tree. Then tossing aside his sombrero, he tightened the tops of his rubber boots about his hips and ventured into the water. The current was running swiftly toward the cascade below. Williams gripped the line firmly, jerking it to test its security; slowly he swung his legs into the stream, dragging his body forward hand over hand on the rope. Kenton wached him from the bank. The engineer's body was swept to one side by the force of the water. The rope sagged gradually, drawing tighter with the strain. His progress became harder as he struggled against the force of the stream. He was almost in the middle of the river. Suddenly he hesitated and clung frantically to the rope. Then, as Kenton watched, a strange thing happened. As if some great power had seized him by the feet and was pulling him down, the engineer sank slowly into the water which surged madly about his head. Kenton saw him struggle to lift himself by the rope. He tried to jerk himself up, but he was unable to move. Then the rodman saw that he had been caught in the eddy, and was being sucked under by the dread invisible undertow. Above the roar of the stream came the engineer's frightened voice, calling for help. A deathly fear swept over Kenton. It was a fight for life in midstream, and he knew it. He did not remain idle. In an instant he had torn off his coat and boots. Unwinding the extra rope about the tree, he tied it round his waist. He longed for the men of the party; he would at that moment have welcomed feverishly the presence of the burly Canadian. In the river Williams hung on to the line. His small, body was tossed about like a chip upon the tide. The undertow dragged his head beneath the surface each time he relaxed the tension of his hold. His voice came again, faintly, to the rodman; his strength was giving out; the suction would soon drag him under. For an instant the half opened, his eyes and glanced along the sagging line. He saw Kentan coming toward him. The vision of the tall rodman swinging a long the rope, hand over hand, as he had done, filled him with new life, and he closed his eyes; again, his hold tightening, his heart beating high with hope. As the rodman clung to the line and fought against the swift running current, the rope sagged lower, and lower until it touched the water. It quivered and jocked and snapped from the strain, throbbing under its double burden. Suppose it broke under the strain before he reached the drowning chief? He had not thought of that. His strong arms bore him inch by inch along the rope. Each moment the swollen stream dashed higher about him, tearing open the front of his blue shirt, and sweeping into his face, blurring his sight. 'Ahead of him he saw dimly the black head of the chief bob up, and down in the water. Kenton 'was' growing, cold and numb and slick with fear. Williams; he knew, could not hold on much longer. Oh, if he could only reach him! afferer, still, would, his strength, proves equal to the ordeal? He struggled fiercely. Suddenly the line quivered and jerked violently about. Through his blurred taze he saw one of the engineer's hands clutching wildly in the air. His grasp was torn from the line. "Hold phi!" jeried the rodman, "I'm coming, Williams. I'm comein'!" "I'm coming, Williams. I'm coming!" He threw his body forward with a sudden desperate lunge. The rope quivered from the tension. He reached blindly forward for the hand he had seen. Then the rope snapped! In, that moment he felt the fear of death upon him. He felt his body being carried swiftly downstream and under the surface. With a gathering of his remaining strength his arm shot out with a broad sweep through the water, and encountered an open shirt front. He gained the air again, blinded, choking. One arm cut ahead under the water; with the other he dragged the limp body of the engineer after him. The force of the stream carried him swiftly, along, away from the eddy and always nearer to the bank; for with the rope around him tied to the tree on the bank, he was swung about in a great quarter circle. He was almost exhausted. The unconscious body of the engineer was fast in his grasp. He directed all his poor remaining strength to keeping his head above the water as he neared the bank. When he came in by the side of a boulder he crept feebly up the slope on the stones and gravel, weakly pulling the chief after him, half out of the water. Then he sank back in exhaustion among the growths of golden rod agalena bushes. As he lay there inert, the hours dragged on and the summer'dusk began to settle over the canon. At last he heard faintly the 'snapping of twigs along the bank; and then voices near him; and opening his eyes, he beheld the men of the party standing over him. 'Williams was breathing heavily by his side. Leaning upon his elbow, he told the surveyors what had happened. "We were almost gone," he repeated, gaspingly, when he had finished. "We were almost swept away." The big Canadian bent low over him, and pillowed his head upon some soft tufts of grass. "Were you caught in that stream?" he cried, close to Kenton's ear, pointing to the swift running: river below. "Do you mean in there? Why, men have died in there, and have never been found! And you came out of there? Where did you learn to swim like that, man?" Kenton watched the engineers lift Williams high up on the bank, where he could better breathe the fresh air. As they came for him his lips curled in a wan smile, and his blue eyes lighted up for a moment. "Out of a book, Pete!" he murmured, as his voice trailed off into the silence of exhaustion.—Youth's Companion. Good Biters.

When cooled it is in granulated form and will keep for years without becoming rancid or of bad color.

TO GUARD THE PANAMA GANAL The type of 16-inch gun, the mf which will defend the entrance to Weekly. Ways to Brace Poles For Private Telephone Lines. BY THALON BLAKE. The type of 16-inch gun, the mightiest piece of ordnance in the world, which will defend the entrance to the Panama Canal.—From Harper's Weekly. The extension of telephone lines to rural districts is one of the real blessings modern science and business enterprise have bestowed upon the farmers. Most of these spurs and cross-country lines are made at the expense of the telephone companies; but sometimes, when the number of subscribers does not warrant it, the prospective customers must furnish or erect their own poles. Even if these are done by the companies, many boys may desire to unite their neighbors' houses with theirs by private telephone or telegraph lines. Telegraphy is a fascinating study to boys. To those who contemplate the erection of a private telephone or telegraph line it may be informing for, them to examine these designs of two ways of bracing poles. In fact, the plans are worthy of any farmer's attention who uses poles for any purpose whatsoever about the farm. (a) How to Brace a Telephone Pole. It is to be remarked, first of all, that poles get out of plumb and alignment because of wind pressure and wire strain. Eliminate these two stresses upon any pole, and unless it be located at the edge of quicksand, or abuts a living spring of water, it will very likely remain erect until it decays. Fig. 1 shows a form of bracing that is excellent to aid a pole to withstand the rocking effect of the wind. Most winds are unsteady in effort, and this accounts for so many poles leaning, for the pressure of the wind comes and goes suddenly, each gust being followed by periods of lull, so that a pole rocks, swinging out with the gust, and back with the following lull. The design is self-explanatory, and is intended for a full-sized pole, set seven feet in the ground. But poles to carry two to four wires need not be so large, either in diameter or in height, nor be set so deeply in the ground. The perpendicular braces, coupled at the top by horizontal timbers, are efficient to withstand the rocking effect of the pole. The oblique braces are also valuable assistants. Strange as it may appear, when oblique braces are used alone, they tend to lift a pole out of the earth as it rocks back and forth. The horizontal braces do not have this tendency. Perhaps children have observed that their swing poles, when braced by oblique braces only, have gradually become loosened and lifted by swinging. This system of bracing poles, therefore, is to be recommended for children's swings. The design shows the parts; well-proportioned, and they may be proportionally reduced in dimensions in working them out... Fig. 2 shows how cement may be substituted for wooden braces at a bend of the line where the wind and wire strains are not too severe. The hole in the ground is dug obliquely, the pile is set upright, and the tri- 16 rightiest pieces of ordnance in the world; the Panama Canal.—From Harper's angular spaces on both sides are filled with cement. Odd-shaped poles, should it be necessary, may be used anywhere when properly braced. One good way of bracing such a pole is portrayed in Fig. 3. A Joe of cement may be extended into the ground to give the cement a grip. If it is still required to have a stronger support, a wooden brace may be affixed as shown, its bottom resting on a large flat stone, with or without a cement blinding. By either of these methods, a private line of telephone or telegraph wires can be maintained against the blasts of Boreas himself, whether the old mythological god blows hot or cold, hard or easy.—Scientific American. Pretty Women at Home. William E. Doty, the American Consul in Tabriz, told, in a recent letter, a story about a Persian prince. A party of English tourists were traveling in Persia and in Tabriz they invited this prince to dinner. He came, splendidly attired in gold and white. But he was taciturn. He seemed disappointed. When the dessert was served he sneered and said: "I am pleased to see that the Englishmen are now taking a leaf out of the Persian's book." "How so; Prince Kumil?" said the host's wife, a very tall; lean woman with unusually long teeth. "They leave, all their pretty, women at home," said the prince frankly. Spider Colonies. Our native spiders are notable for their extreme unsusciability. Of those which are splinners each one constructs its web apart from those of its kind. And those which hunt pursue their prey alone. In other countries, however, there are spiders which live in communities and one such, a native of Mexico, is described by M. L. Diguet. It is known as the mosquero and makes a large nest in oaks and other trees. Here the spiders live gregariously and along with them in the nest is found a minute beetle and another species of spider. The beetle is said to act as scavenger. Parts of the nest of the mosquero are hung up in the houses during the wet season to get rid of the flies.—London Globe. Knock For Trying Up a Launch. All sailors and steamboat men know how to throw a clove hitch, but I find there are many that own pleasure launches who do not.

The clove hitch should not be used for snubbing, as it won't slip or give—H. R. in Recreation. Chronic Polliteness: "Tomlinson really can't help being polite." "That's right. You'd think he was always running for office."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. In a letter for the New York Sun, Bilchard H. Edmunds, editor of Manufacturers' Record, of Baltimore, gives the following interesting data upon the good roads question in the Southern States: "For several years Fulton County has kept its prisoners at roadmaking, and it now has, 250 miles of well-built macadamized roads, which centre at Atlanta, like the spokes of a wheel in the hub. General Clifford Anderson, a leading business man of Atlanta, who is officially connected with the great road building work of Fulton County, recently told me that this work had in every way proved the best for the prisoners as well as the county. Most of these prisoners are negroes accustomed to outdoor life. Imprisonment, within brick walls tends to ruin, their health, while the outdoor life of road building under official control and maintenance is beneficial to them. The county owns its rock, quarries, its stone crushing plants and its road making machinery. It therefore does not have to buy anything from outside. About 400 prisoners are kept at work and the cost of good roads is about $3500 a mile, which includes much heavy grading. "It is proposed to continue this work by crossroads, connecting the lines, radiating from Atlanta until Fulton County shall have 500 miles of thoroughly good roads. Many of the leading people of the South, men who have given years of study to the subject, believe that every Southern State should nutrify convicts to work in, building a great system of public highways. A number of counties in other States have been doing the same work with Fulton County is pressing with such vigor. Throughout the South there is a great awakening to the need of good roads and millions are being expended in this work, but so great is the area of that section that road building is a more serious problem than in more densely settled sections. "One reason advanced by some advocates of using conflicts in road building is that this avoids any possible injury to labor by prison made goods. Moreover, the scarcity of labor in the South in times of ordinary prosperity would make it very difficult to find men for road building without drawing them by higher wages from the farms and industrial interests; where they are so badly needed. "So great is the interest throughout the South in road building, street improvements and municipal undertakings that the work now under way and that which is being planned will represent an outlay of probably $100,000,000. In this work Maryland leads with its recent bond issue of $5,000,000 for the building of 800 to 1,000 miles of main lines of roads throughout the State, while the city of Baltimore is spending and preparing to spend $25,000,000 or more on docks, sewers, street paving, etc. The whole South has caught the spirit of municipal improvements such as sewerage systems, water works, street paving and schools and other public buildings, while State and county authorities are pigprompt working for better roads. This is simply the natural result of increasing wealth, and it is the best indication of how rapidly the South's wealth is growing." Get Good Roads and Keep Them. Getting back, to the matter of expert advice, let us urge our readers not only to get expert advice about the material to use, but also get expert advice about the delarangement of the roads themselves. Straighten them, lessen the grades; run them entirely any way, necessarily in order to make them of the greatest service to the people. It is, really, to spend thousands of dollars on roads laid out by calves and pigs. And then, having good roads, keep them. An expert of the United States Department of Agriculture said to us last week: "The people of the United States spend more than any other country to make good roads, and less to keep them up." This has been indeed one, of our most conspicuous pieces of public folly. We know a county which voted several hundred thousand dollars in bonds not many months ago in which the roads are now going to wasted because nothing whatever was voted to maintain the roads after getting them—much as if you should spend $1000 to buy a horse and, then, gond nothing to feed him. —Progressive Farmer. Horace, O., Knoyles, recently United States Minister to Rumania, Servia and Bulgaria, is leading a movement to reinforce sturgeon into the Hiver of the Atlantic Coast. He obtained the consent of the Rumanianah Government to the shipment of carcass off from the Black Sea sturgeon, the presence in the world, to the United States, the United States Fish Commissioner, has told Mr. Knowles, that he believes the abandoned sturgeon fisheries can be re-visited. The Black Sea sturgeon grow to enormous size. In the old days, before this sturgeon were routed, a 1000-pound sturgeon in the Delaware River was amassed. In the Danube 700 and 800-pound fish are the average. These yield between 200 and 300 pounds of caviar each. Some of the Danube sturgeon weigh 2000 billion kilograms. Republic County (HI).

ASIMORE in his report of the crowded condition of the schools, has completely ignored the colored schools. Each grade in these schools is overcrowded, and thousands of our children are without accommodation. Every effort is being made by the superintendent to see that each white child is accommodated. This we commend, and would like for the authorities to do something to relieve the crowded condition of our schools and furnish facilities for some of the thousands of boys and girls who are on the outside. Our State School Commissioner has issued a statement in refutation of the just attack on the school facilities given the colored children of this State. He gave figures to show that the colored children received many times more money than their parents pay the State in taxes. In this statement the Commissioner is commended by The Atlanta Constitution along the same line. If the Commissioner would prorate the tax as paid by the whites in the same manner as he did in the case for the colored, it will be found that the whites also receive much more from the State than they pay in direct tax for education. The State-School Commissioner has failed to give us credit for that part of tax deriving from the sale of fertilizers, and other items, which would increase the total far above that which we now receive. Again the Commissioner has asserted that the State pays $8000.00 a year for the support of the Georgia State Industrial College. This sum may be paid by the State, but the State receives it from the Land Script Fund of the United States, thus Georgia pays not a penny for the higher education of the Negroes. Tuskegee, the Inspirer of Negro Unlift 'THE TRIBUNE has been favored with a copy of the annual report of Dr. Booker T. Washington to the Trustees for the year ending May 29, 1909. In a succinct way he has rendered a report showing the great work of the institution and some of its pressing needs. During the year modern water facilities have been installed with several pure artesian wells at a cost of $17,3333.17. A new dining hall, kitchen, etc., will soon be completed at a cost of $40,865.74. The excellent work in farming was reported, and in this statistics as to the extent of farming that the students are engaged are now being prepared by Prof. M. N. Work. During the year 1,494 students were enrolled, with 167 officers, and instructors, etc., Practical results were reported from the Farmer's Conference, night school, etc.; The influence of the institute on the people, especially immediately surrounding it, is shown to be beneficial on account of the interest taken by the officers in their welfare. This feature could be easily emulated by educational institutions in every locality. The educational campaign was extended in three states During the year the for receipts current expenses have been $201,483.11, and $257,735.08 was expended. The needs of a great institution like this are many, and those of our race who are blessed with wealth should emulate our white friends in giving donations.

Alexander Harris was nearing the century line, that he had lived a strenuous life of uplift, and for the past several months he has been in ill health, especially was he seriously ill during the week preceding his demise, yet when the end came it sorely affected those who were near him and also all of his numerous friends. His death occurred last Saturday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock at his late residence, 525 West Oglethorpe avenue. Everything that medical skill could devise, with the nursing, tender care and constant watching of loved ones were done for his recovery, but, alas! the brittle thread of life was cut and he peacefully slept away in death surrounded by several who loved him best. Rev. Harris was favorably known by all classes of citizens, and held in high esteem by everybody. He had scores of white friends who appreciated his inestinable worth, and honored him at his funeral in a way never before shown a colored man in this community. He was born in this city July 9, 1818, and was a free man all of his life. In early life he was taken to Augusta where he worked at the blacksmith trade. His mother died in that city and was buried there. Returning to this city he entered into the prominence of affairs and was easily a leader. Rev.Harris was especially interested in Sunday School and Church work. At the breaking out of the civil war he was conscripted and taken into the Confederate army as a member of the Republican Blues' drum corps. He served faithfully until honorably discharged. Returning from the war he entered actively into church work and joined the ministry. He erected the First Bryan Baptist Church on West Broad street, and continued as its only pastor until his death. He was pastor emeritus of the churches at Nicolsonboro and Twin Hill. He has assisted in the organization of several Baptist associations, and was for years moderator of the Mt. Olive Association. He was one of the organizers of the State Baptist Convention, and gave active service until he became disabled by health. As a Mason he was one of the first ones to be initiated in Eureka Lodge No. 1, of this city, on Feb. 4, 1866, and assisted in the formation of the Grand Lodge. He was a Past Grand Master, and has never missed a communication of the Grand Lodge until the present year, at which time he was too feeble to attend. He was a high type of a Mason, and was a jurisprudence within himself. He was loved by the Masons all over the state. In early manhood Rev. Harris was a member of the volunteer fire department and rendered great service. For many years he was custodian of the poor fund of the county, and was only relieved of this service at the re-organization of the board of County Commissioners. He rendered valuable and faithful service during the yellow fever scourge of 1877, many hundreds of dollars passing through his hands, and for which he received the unstinted praise of the citizens. In every movement for good he was identified and gave the weight of his influence and means. Rev. Harris left no relatives, his nearest survivor being Miss Alice B. Miller who has resided in the home for the past thirty-three years, and whom he always tenderly called his daughter. His only daughter, then his two sons, two of the most brilliant young men of their days, died, then Mrs. Harris preceded him in death after living together in happiness for over half a century. The last of his near relative was his sister-in-law, Miss Fuller, who died three years ago. The funeral took place Monday afternoon from the church that he loved and built. The edifice was crowded with friends, a number of them being his white friends and veterans of the Republican Blues. The services were conducted by Rev. Geo. H. Dwelle of Augusta, an old, friend in church and masonry. Rev. Dwelle spoke very feelingly over the bier of his deceased friend. The short, eulogy of Rev. Hosea Maxwell, who was always faithful as a friend and a constant visitor during his sickness, was fluent and appropriate. Rev. W. L. Cash also assisted in the ceremony. At the cemetry the impressive ceremony of the Order of the Eastern Star was faultlessly conducted; followed by the Masonic rites. At intervals the choir sang beautifully, as also at the church. The floral offerings were many, among them being a wreath presented by the Daughters of Confederacy and an elevated star by the Republican Blues. The funeral ceremony and burial were in keeping with his request, simple but impressive. With the dust of his loved ones, his remains were buried, leaving only on earth the sweet memory of a life that was full of energy, a mind that was a master, a spirit that was high, a character that was noble, and above all that of a man. Suggestion No. 1 for the Year 1909-10. To the President and other Officers of Local Negro Business Lauges: Now is the time to begin making definite plans for the year's work.

Wherever possible and practicable there should be a central and permanent place of meeting which might be equipped with fitted up that it will be comfortable, convenient and attractive for club meetings. It might answer the purposes of a Board of Trade or other commercial organization. 3 At the first meeting also outline a plan for a definite program of work for the year. St. Benedict's Church.

Memoriam In remembrance of our dear one and teacher MISS ELIZABETH ROBINSON, who departed this life Oct. 6, 2008. She was her. mother's only daughter, but the Saviour cried aloud to her. "Take up your cross and follow me and your Father you shall see." Oh! she was our loss but heaven's gain and we hope to meet her in that city of rest, then we shall meet to part no more. Gone but not forgotten. In memory of our DEAR MOTHER. who departed this life October 5th, 1908 at Ludlow, I, Ga. A precious one from us has gone A voice we love is still There is a vacancy in our hearts Which never can be filled. In heaven you are sweetly resting Free from all eartly cares. And with the angles you'll be waiting For our meeting over there. Now fare the well dear mother Till we meet on that grand shore, Where reunited in God's Kringdom Will be with you ever more. Her son and daughters Henry Jordan, Mrs. L J Buncombe, Mrs. A Betterson, Mrs. Georgia Edwards, in Memoriam. Eternal Power! Thy mighty reins have drawn, A hero thence of many a battle; His stalwart form, in many a Marathon Has forged to front and force the foe to yield. To yield unto a master mind and thought, A fearless prowess, yet a discerning Ken. Which, in the fields of labor, where he wrought, Won him the place of chief among the men We marvel not at the great Power and Will, Of the great Mind, of the great Cause and Plan, That waketh life, but, deeper mystery still That bringeth death unto the creature man. Of the Beyond, we know not. This we know, That He who paints, the petals of the rose To bless the ken of man, yet have them grow Mid thistles, can, the deeper cause disclose Of noble products of His will and hand. Which dwell, apace, upon this earthly sod; For in His Writ, though deep, we understand, "From Evermore to Evermore, He's God." But at a visitation of His power, we weep, And fain would stay the hand that blightes the flowers. Though, 'tis to have them sleep a richer sleep. From which to wake amid celestial bowers. Thus do we mortals mourn our hero, dead, With laden hearts and eyes bedimmed by tears. Because, to him, the riddle has been read, That fickle fancy flees with needless fears. The shell therein his soul has lived the while. Lies seared and wrinkled by the touch of age; Historians apt, o'er such a model smile, And lend, to life another fitting page. And may the youths who know the history well. This is the Age of Saftey Razors HAMILTON Something New In TRIBUNE Premiums Automatic Egg Beater.

Rev Wright in a few choice words heartily welcomed the Lodge. "The text was from St John 4:29. The subject was "The Samaritan woman." Rev Wright's description of Jacob's well and the conversation of Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well was excellent. The picture he painted on our minds was as bright as words could make it. The sermon was excellent and he held his hearers spell bound during the whole time. The choir sang very sweetly "The Living Water." Rev Wright led the hymn "That awful day will surely come. So impressed were those present with his sermon, that they came and occupied every space around the altar. Rev Wright with much feryor carried every case to the mercy seat. The Lodge contributed very liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. they even donated to poor saints of the church. It is very unusual to see a person in prosperity remember their friends who are poor and friendless. Do not fall to attend our service when you can. St. Philip Dots.

His forceful argument in discussing this subject impressed the audience the importance of turning away from their sins and doing good along various-religious requirements. Rev Capps is somewhat advanced in age not withstanding this he is making one of the most practical and earnest preachers in the Georgia Conference and it is quite a pleasure to bear him. The fourth quarterly conference of St Phillips was held on last night, the reports from the several departments were very encouraging to the members and speaks well of the present administration.

STA L 31 CITY MARKET The great success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-building, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, and deensed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstructive coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the digestive organs in sound health, purifies and curches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in short establishes sound vigorous health. If your doctor offers something just as good it is probably better FOR YOU—it pays better. But you are thinking of the cure not the profit, so there's nothing just as good for you. Say so.

Southern STREK AND POWTRY REMEDY With for free booklet on the right of book and Poatly, Made by Spooker by Reviever THE BOUTHERN STOCK FOOD CO., AT LANTA, GA. THE RIGHT GOODS IN THE WRONG PLACE. ```markdown ``` One grocery salesman, traveling out of Chicago, has for years made a specialty of picking up "the right goods in the wrong place." Towns have their own trade peculiarities, and goods which sell readily in one place may prove to be head stock in a town twenty miles distant. Cigars afford a good example of this peculiarity. The merchant buys a certain brand of cigars because he likes it, perhaps, or because it contains superior stock for the price and he thinks he can make a "leader" of the stock is good, but it does not hit the taste of the town and it will not sell. The alert commercial traveler who has an eye for bargains on the shelves of his customers, buys the entire stock at a "knockdown price" say twenty-five per cent. of what the merchant paid. He then takes it for another town, where the public taste is different, and sells it for a little under the regular price. Perhaps groceries and drugs offer the best opportunities to the shrewd traveling man for this traffic in "dead stocks," but there is scarcely a line of trade which is devoid of these chances for the turning of an honest penny. One salesman, travelling out of Chicago, received a regular salary of $1800 a year, but made double that amount in the rehandling of misfit goods. He is now worth $65,000. Instead of buying from a merchant only his stock of a certain brand of cigars or canned goods, the trading commercial traveler often buys the entire store and puts it in charge of some energetic and capable clerk whose abilities have attracted his notice. There are hundreds of instances in which this has been done with great success, the "silent partner" still continuing to "follow the road" and pick up goods adapted to his own trade from the dead stock of the merchants whom he visits in the capacity of commercial traveler. — Forrest Crissey, in Everybody's. ->Profitable Protective Forests. From her State forests France derives an annual income of approximately $5,000,000, or $1.75 an acre. Approximately 6,000,000 acres are managed by the State, the annual cost of management being ninety-five cents an acre. The great achievement of France in forestry has been the establishment of protective forests where much destruction has been caused by "bogs." Toward the close of the eighteenth century about 2,500,000 acres comprised in the department of the lands were little more than shifting sand dunes and disease-breeding marshes. This section is now one of the richest, most productive and healthful in France. This change has been brought about by the intelligent cultivation of pine forests. Immense forests now cover the country, the sand dunes and marshes have done since disappeared, and the wood "charcoal, turpentine, resin, and, kindred industries have brought prosperity to the department, which was formerly the most barren and mismatic in France. The climate is now mild and balmy, the great change being wrought by the forests.—Science. Hens That Think. If the average man were asked if hens had any memory he would probably say, "No, but he would be wrong, according to the experiments of two German scientists." The plan they adopted was to gum twenty grains of rice on a piece of cardboard and between them to place ten grains of lodge corn. At first, the hens, of course, pecked, at both rice and corn, but soon they learned to leave the rice alone, thus very clearly showing that they remembered that the rice was stuck down. A very remarkable thing about the experiment was that the longer the time between the trials the better was the hens' memory. When the experiments were made consecutively it took them six times to learn that the rice was not worth touching, but when the experiments were made at intervals and hour they learned the lesson at the third try, thus showing not only that they had memories, but that they thought the matter over in the intervals. Chicago Journal. I r e a l 1 1 C o u d n t ' F e a z e H i m : The commanding officer of a regiment was much concerned what to do with a soldier who was most untidy. After trying every means to make him decent he determined to shame him into a sense of what, was proper, so he hit the whole regiment drawn up at attention and marched the culprit behind the illness. After this he had been in ordered Pat (the man was an Irishman) brought to capture him. "What?" he inquired. The commanding regiment I vivir inspected, sorry, was the blunt information he received.

CONCERNING NICE. The Capital City of the Riviera is a Place to Loaf Joyously. English speaking people have been coming to Nice to rest and to make merry for at least two centuries. The city does other things besides entertaining pleasure seekers, but that is the chief concern. The city fathers are always planning for the comfort and the delight of the visitor, and a million is spent cheerfully to improve the beauties of nature in the certain knowledge that it is a good investment. Dr. Thomas Linolett, an Englishman, "discovered" Nice in 1714 or thereabout. It had been existing for many, many centuries, a massive, stone built town, when Dr. Linolett came. He stayed two years, found it an ideal place to loaf, and voiced his pleasure in a book. The book was read in England and the English promptly made Nice a necessary part of the "grand tour." After the English came the Americans, until now in the winter season there is an English speaking population of nearly 20,000. In the two centuries a new city grew beside the old, a city given over to hotels, casinos, theatres, clubs and shops that rival Paris, a city of beautiful streets, squares and public gardens. It is a city now of all tongues. You may come to Nice from any corner of the earth and worry along in your own language. Like all Riviera towns, French and Italian speech prevails among the natives. Nice did not become a French city until 1860, when King Victor Emmanuel of Italy ceded it to France. If you go to Monte Carlo it isn't much fun unless you gamble, and sometimes not even when the play is ended; but if you come to Nice on pleasure bent you have only to name your pleasure and the means to gratify it are at hand. You may commune with nature at her best—equable temperature, fine air, blue sky and blue sea, the mountains towering above you, are yours. They are about the only things here that don't cost money; but you don't have to be wealthy to stay at Nice. Cosey villas are to be had at moderate prices and market prices are lower than elsewhere on the Riviera. "I like to come to Nice to forget myself," said an American woman. "If I have a care when I come it is forgotten in the joy of living in a place where to live joyously as you will is the ruling passion. There is no resisting, especially in carnival time, when the fun and frolic would bring smiles and forgetfulness even to a sombre New England Puritan." A White Tigress. A white tigress eight feet eight inches in length has been shot in Dhenkanal State, Orissa. The ground color was pure white, and the stripes wers of a deep reddish black. The skin has been presented to the rajah of Dhenkanal, who has had it mounted and placed in his palace. shikaris (hunters) of this country say that it is the only white tiger they have seen.—London Standard. ANOTHER WOMAN CURED By Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound "I have been an organic troubles and a severe female weakness.

Those who care more for comfort than for personal appearance are advised to let the perspiration evaporate from their faces and hands instead of wiping it off. This way coolness lies. It lies so near in fact that the rule has to be followed, with discretion, else a chill may be the result. —Indianapolis News. Gasolene Stoves. When you decide to buy a gasoline store, says a writer in Good Housekeeping, be sure to have it burned off before it is sent home. These stoves are oiled, it seems, in order to keep them in good condition in the store, and people have been burned seriously, besides running the risk of firing the house, when using one for the first time. Health. Hints. If one cannot copy the old-time women with their aromatic herbs, there are many things which can be used in the water to soften it and make it more refreshing. Among these is a lemon cut in slices and placed in the bath ten minutes before using. A little borax will also soften the water, or a bag about five inches square filled with half bran and half oatmeal. Olive oil is an excellent-fattener. Some can take a tablespoonful after meal easily. It stimulates and makes active the digestive organs, clears the complexion, and makes the eyes bright and sparkling.—Boston Herald. A Dainty Pincushion. Among the many charming and attractive novelties seen in the shops, one of the daintiest was a neat little pincushion about six inches square, covered with fine plique. It was deeply scalloped around the edge in such a way that they alternated, the big scallops falling below to give the appearance of a double frill. The top of the cover, which had a white background, had a conventional design in Wallachian embroidery done in several shades of pink. In the centre was a large embroidered monogram. This pretty and convenient little novelty would be a most appropriate gift for the traveler who can not have too many dainty hand-made cushions.—New York Press. India Relish. As the making of proprietary commercial articles is usually a trade secret, I am not able to tell you just how manufactured India relish is made. Hero is an excellent rule, however, for its making: Chop fine a small head of cabbage, six onions, twelve green peppers and two quarts of green tomatoes. Sprinkle over them one cupful salt and let stand until the next day. Drain off all the liquid and put the vegetables in a kettle. Barely cover with vinegar. Add one-half cupful mustard seed, one teaspoonful celery seed and one-half cupful of sugar. Boil five minutes, take from the fire and put in glass or stone jars. If you like the relish sweet, more sugar can be added. Add at the last one tablespoonful English mustard.—Washington Star. In the Kitchen Lemon Sherbet.—Boil two cupfuls water with one cupful sugar; beat until cold. Add grated rind of one lemon and juice of three lemons. Freeze. Cucumber Salad.—Peel two cucumbers and place them in clear cold water. When ready to serve cut them in two lengthwise and lay on a salad dish, flat side down. Then slice across without disturbing their shape and add French dressing. Filling For Washington Ple.—Beat the whites of two eggs stiff, add three-quarter cup confectioners' sugar and beat; then add two or three teaspoonfuls melted chocolate and one-half teaspoon vanilla. This is also delicious as frosting on a custard ple. Orange and Rhubarb Marmalade.—Peel six oranges and one lemon; slice the pulp and cut the peel into shreds; put in a preserving kettle and add one quart rhubarb cut fine (about two pounds); now add one and one-half pounds sugar. Boll about one hour or until quite thick. Spanish Beef.—Mincefinally enough cooked beef to make two cups. Melt two rounding tablespoons of butter, add one small onion minced fine; cook until light brown, add one-quarter cup of flour and stir until brown. Add the meat, one cup of beef broth, one cup of strained tomatoes and heat well. Add salt and pepper and serve on a hot dish or in a rice border. Meat Pie.—Take scraps left from any kind of cooked meat and put in sauce pan with gravy, if you have it; if not, cover with water. Season well, add one tomato, if you have it, and one tablespoonful of butter. When it is hot place in baking dish and cover with mashed potato. The potato forms a crust for your pie, and if dotted with lumps of butter and browned quickly you may have a tempting luncheon dish made of left overs from your day-before's dinner.

Testimonials Showing What Students Do in Georgia, Alabama Business College, Macon, Ohio. Hon. Marmaduke G. Beynel—attorney at law; "Mr. Eugene, Anderson made my son, Lester, one of the best stenographers in Macon in one month's time. I do not believe Mr. Anderson's equal a teacher has ever been seen in this country. Miss Ida Moore, Macon. After five weeks' instruction at the hands of Mr. Anderson, I went into a position that paid me $50 per month." Miss Marilie Moore, stenogrammer for Representative Ed. Rails: "After five weeks' instruction in Mr. Anderson's classes, I accepted the position which I have since been holding. I owe to Mr. Anderson a debt of gratitude, for he made me what I am in benefaction." Miss Lillian McArthur, Mason: "After ten days' study with Mr. Anderson, I was able to take 83 words a minute in dictation." Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, Congressman from the Third Congressional District of Georgia: "Mr. W. N. Northrop, whom the Georgia-Ambassadors sent to me as private secretary, is one of the most particular and accurate stenogramners I have ever seen." Mr. Northrop writes: "After studying five weeks with Mr. Anderson I was able to report a convention, at which work I made £25 in a day and a half." Mr. N. Northrop, former Bector of St. Paul's College, I consider Mr. Anderson's method of teaching Shorhard a public benefaction." Hon. Arthur L. Dasher, attorney at law, Macon: "After five weeks of instruction under Mr. Anderson my son, Arthur, Jr., was able to hold his own in competition with the other players in the field for years. During the few months since he finished his work in the Georgia- Alabama he has been doing court work with entire satisfaction to his employers. These facts would seem incredible to me if he had personal acquaintance with them." A. VEGETABLE; LOCKER The housekeeper who has once known the convenience of a vegetable locker in the cellar will deprive herself of other necessities—rather than not have one installed in any house where she may live. Such a locker can be made of heavy wire mesh, about an inch and a half spaces. For the average-sized family it should measure eight feet long, and four-feet wide, and extend from the floor of the cellar to ceiling. At one end should be a door two feet wide provided with a spring look. Inside, running around the side and end, are two shelves of the wire netting; the first four feet high, the second from 18 inches to two feet above it. Underneath is ample space for baskets, garden tools and other utensils that are better locked away from dishonest ashmen and mischievous children. On one of the shelves can go boxes and crates of vegetables, jars of preserves and canned goods. Any, of these latter that should be kept dark can be wrapped in paper, or a box with a hinged door can be provided for them. In arranging such a vegetable looker it is well to put it near a window, which may be kept open to give a good circulation of air—Boston Post. THE HONEYMOON-SPECIAL.

Settled With Perfect Satisfaction by Dyspeptic It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time, as every housewife knows. And when the husband has dyspepsia and can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying. An Illinois woman writes: "My husband's health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed. . ." "He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and as soon as he would feel better would go to work again, only to give up in a few weeks. He suffered severely with stomach trouble. "Tired of everything I, had been able to get for him to say one day seeing an advertisement about Grape-Nuts. I got some and he tried it for breakfast the next morning!" "We all thought it was pretty good, although we had no idea of using it regularly. But, when my husband came home at night he asked for Grape-Nuts. "It was the same next day, and I had to get it right along, because when we would get to the table the question: 'Have you any Grape-Nuts?' was a regular thing, So I began to buy it by the dozen eggs." "My husband's health began to improve right along... I sometimes felt offended when I'd make something I thought he would like for a change, and still hear the same old question, 'Have you any Grape-Nuts?'¹³ "He got so well that I'd the last two years he has hardly lost a day from his work, and we are still using Grape-Nuts."

Value of Sweet Clover. Sweet clover is generally considered a weed, and under certain conditions it is such. It, however, produces valuable forage in sections south of the clover belt. Stock do not like it at first, but they can easily become educated to eat it either green or cured. Sweet clover is biennial and dies after the second year, hence to keep a field seeded it will be necessary to allow a good portion of the plants to go to seed in July. The greatest value of sweet clover is as a soil builder. It will grow on land too poor to produce anything else. It is commonly found growing wild along railroad cuts, roadside and other places where the top soil has been removed. In a few years it would reclaim poor land and make it capable of producing other and more valuable crops.—Weekly Witness. Whether corn is cultivated level or in check rows, it is always profitable to sow some crop at the last working. Whenever we see a cornfield bare during the winter we think what a waste of opportunity. Sowing a catch crop at the last working of corn not only enables this crop to grow without extra preparation, but it covers the land during the winter, which prevents leaching and washing of the soil, and materially increases succeeding crops. There are so many crops that can be sown at the last working of either corn or cotton that the wonder to me is that any farmer should try to get along without using one. You can sow to advantage either crimson clover, rye, winter oats or vetch. All of them usually give good results sown in this way. If corn is planted early cowpeas are an excellent crop to sow, at the last working. Farmers who have had experience state that the cowpeas increase the yield of the corn crop, and at the same time make a most excellent quantity of feed, as well as improve the land for the crops to follow.—J. A. Barnhard, in Farm and Home. Best Litter For Hens. We were once asked to visit a poultry farm where the hens were not laying satisfactorily-to see if we could discover any reason for the lack of eggs. The work on this place was entrusted to help. The owner had the theory of poultry raising, but very little practice. He knew that the grain should be fed in deep litter. The men told him that there was straw in the houses, and what more could the hens want? "My hens have plenty of feed," said the owner of the farm. "They have plenty of water, grit, charcoal, and litter to scratch in, and yet in May I am getting only a one-third egg yield." The trouble was not far to seek. The litter was packed down so solid that it might almost as well have been a barn floor. The grain had been thrown on top of this till the birds were surfeluted, and grain was scattered in heaps on the floor and in the corners of the house. The yard had been picked clean, there was no inducement to exercise outside, and no opportunity inside, so the hens waxed fat and lazy. If the straw had been tossed up each day, kept light so that the hens could scratch it about, and if the grain had been scattered on the bare floor and the straw kicked over it, the chickens would have been forced to scratch for their living. The great advantage of leaves for litter is that they are too light to pack. A house twelve inches deep in leaves is ideally equipped for scratching. Lacking the leaves, straw is good. If allowed to pack. We thought we had found just the litter we wanted one year when we saved the chaff from the threshing, but later found that the hens pick up too much chaff with their feet, and the chaff was unwholesome as well as unnutritious. Make some provision this year for litter and feed in that, not on it.— Inland Farmer. Alfalfa Will Grow Everywhere. While experts have been declaring that alfalfa would only grow in cer- rain soils and in certain climates it has proved its adaptability to nearly all climates and almost all soils. It produces with a rainfall as scant as fourteen inches, and in the Gulf States flourishes with sixty-five inches. It gives crops at an elevation of $000 feet above sea level, and in southern California it grows below sea level to a height of six feet or over, with nine cuttings a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons. An authenticated photograph in possession of the writer shows a wonderful alfalfa plant raised in the (irrigated) desert of southern California, sixty feet in height. Satisfactory crops are raised, but on limited areas as yet, in Vermont and Florida. New York has grown it for over one hundred years in her clay and gravel; Nebraska grows it in her western sand hills without plowing, as does Nevada on her sage brush desert. The depleted cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn fields of Illinois and Missouri each respond generously with profitable yields to the enterprising farmer, while its accumulated nitrogen and the sub-soiling it effects are making the rich land more valuable and giving back to the crop worn the priceless elements of which it has been in successive generations despoiled by a conscienceless husbandry. -Coburn's Book of Alfalfa. Profit in Cherry Raising. An illustration of the possibilities there are in fruit culture in western Washington is seen in a brief dispatch from Stanwood, recording the fact that the cherry growers in that section of the country are closing their shipments after the most successful season ever known. The late varieties of cherries, such as the Royal Annes, brought the record price of seventeen cents a pound in the orchard, about eight cents more than the previous high price paid there. There is no fruit that does better on the deforested land of wes'ern Washington than the cherry, and nowhere in the world are finer cherries produced than here. The cherry tree grows to great size and bears in this favored climate abundantly. There are forty-year-old cherry trees in this county which are loaded with this delicious fruit every year. A single old cherry tree has been known to bear a crop of $00 pounds in a season. At the price in the orchard of less than one-half that which was recently paid in Stanwood, the owner of a Puget Sound cherry orchard in full bearing can have an annual income from each acre larger than the highest income earned from the best of the orchards under irrigation in eastern Washington. The western Washington cherries are produced without irrigation, and will grow on lands of which thousands of acres are yet to be had at prices but a petty fraction of that commanded by lands under ditch in the better advertised fruit-growing sections of this State. There could hardly be a better and safer investment than the purchase of a few acres of logged-off lands in western Washington at the present time, clearing it and planting it to cherries. The man who has a tenacre cherry orchard in this part of the world, after it gets in bearing, will have an annual income considerably higher than is earned by the average professional man, here or anywhere else. If the land hungry, who have been so much in evidence in the recent rush to take up opened Indian reservations, will look over the opportunities open here, they will find thousands of opportunities for homes.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Weight of Eggs. There is a decided difference In the weight of eggs from pullets and hens, and of those laid by different breeds. These figures are approximately correct: Single Comb Brown Leghorns, pullets, 17% ounces per dozen; hens, 21% ounces. Light Brahmas, pullets, 22% ounces; hens, 28 ounces. Black Langshans, pullets, 24 ounces; hens, 26% ounces. Pekin ducks, 35% ounces. Handling Fowls. It is well to handle fowls occasionally after they have gone to roost. It tames them. Also feel their crops and see if they are well filled, but not gorged. A little grain thrown into litter at night, gives the fowls something to do when they come off the roost. If no rats are troubling, the morning feed may be put out in the litter when poultry house is closed for the night. Sunflower Seeds Useful. Some sunflower seeds should be planted around edge of yards for shade, if no other is accessible, until a few fruit trees can grow large enough for shade.. Sunflower seeds are good for fowls, especially at moulting season, so be sure to plant a few every year. Get the large kind.—Mrs. J. C. Deaton. France has an aeronautical club for women.

'A good way to use up old lingerie waists is to convert them into sleeveless gimp yokes, fitting snugly below the bust, which can easily be arranged by seams in the lower part. So many of the foulard and cotton frocks call for detachable yokes that this is a welcome solution, and at the same time disposes of a waist that would otherwise be discarded. They are cut off about three inches above the waistline, and a hem put in wide enough to carry a narrow elastic, with a button at one end and a loop at the other, which serves to hold the yoke or chemisette down in place—New York Tribune.

It is a common occurrence nowadays to hear a man remark with disgust: "It is impossible to have good painting done these days; either the paint is not good or there are no good painters." This, however, is not true. There is good paint, and there are good painters. But the question is, bringing them together. One cannot expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you are getting pure white lead without testing it.

For some time Owens had been missing eggs from the chicken-house, but was not able to find the thief. Yesterday, while walking down a path in a meadow lot near home, he noticed a large blacksnake stretched out in front of him. Examination showed it had recently died. Owens noticed a lump in the middle of the snake and, being curious as to what it contained, whipped out his knife and cut the snake open, when a white glass egg, similar to those used to fool a hen into laying in a certain nest, rolled out. Owens has no doubt but that the snake was the thief that has been robbing his nests—Inter-Ocean. Rough on Rats, unbeatable exterminator. Rough on Hen Lice, Nest Powder, 25c.

Miss Belle Kinney of Nashville has completed, with apparent success, a design for a monument fitted to be chosen as a memorial to the Southern women, who, equally with the men of the Confederacy, suffered for the "lost cause." The first design for a monument, submitted by an Italian sculptor, depicted the Southern woman as an amazon carrying a sword in one hand and the banner of the Confederacy in the other. This was rejected as contrary to all truth concerning the Southern woman and repugnant to the sentiment of the Southland. The Southern woman was the exact reverse of an amazon in every attribute, physical or mental, save that of indomitable courage to bear the sufferings inflicted upon her through the conditions of war.

PE·RU·N FOR DYSPEPSIA CATARRH OF STOMACH MUCH EXCITED ABOUT CASE Mrs. Justice Refuses to Allow Operation and is Relieved by Cardul, the Woman's Tonic.

ELECTRICAL SHOCKS TO DESTROY EVERY WARSHIP AFLOAT New York City. — Lewis Nixon, shipbuilder, graduate of the United States Naval Academy and for several years one of the chief constructors of the American navy, flouts the theory that the airship in any of its forms will become a formidable war machine. Instead, Mr. Nixon believes that the death-dealing terror of the war of the future will be the electric shock. This conclusion has been forced upon his judgment by a careful study of the manoeuvres of new war ships and by closely watching the manoeuvres of the Wright aeroplane as it sailed up the Hudson and circled the representatives of the world's greatest navies. In Mr. Nixon's opinion warships can guard against the danger of explosives that might be dropped upon them by airships by specially prepared armor. He believes, though, that sooner or later there will be perfected a gun or some other piece of mechanism for hurling a thunderbolt that will shock to death every man aboard a warship, irrespective of its protection. "I am convinced," said Mr. Nixon to a reporter, "that the thing could be done now, but the mechanism is so crude that the thunderbolt, or electric impulse, would kill the man who should release it, as well as the enemy. It is possible, of course, that some foreign nation already has perfected the necessary machine with which to hurt this deadly bolt. I hope, however, that it has not been done. When the principle is mastered the result will make war so horribly destructive that the human race, through the sheer force of nature's first law — self-preservation — will abolish war. "The aeroplane is mainly interesting now on account of the fact of what may grow from it. Possibly we shall see them like swarms of giant locusts flying over and beyond armies, to occupy positions and to cut off communications. "For purposes of observation they will be of great use. The helicopter, owing to its small dimensions, seems best adapted to such uses, especially to be carried on men-of-war. "Insofar as I can see, the dirigible, which will combine much that the aeroplane is now proving out, is the ship of the future. "Count Zeppelin has already crossed STARVING ESKIMO SLAYS HIS CHILD. St. John's, N. F.—Tragedy in the fey wastes of the Far North formed the burden of the news brought to this port by the Hudson Bay Company's steamer Adventure, which arrived with the crew of the lost Dundee whaler Paradox, in the story of an Eskimo, driven to cannibalism, by starvation, who ate his child and shot several neighbors who attempted summary punishment. The Paradox, one of the fleet of Dundee whalers, met the fate of her companion ship, the Snowdrop, which was crunched in the merciless jaws of the ice floes off Baffin Land early in August a year ago. The crew, with scavily provisions, made their perilous way over the broken ice toward the mainland and were picked up by the EXPERTS TO ADVISE PITTSBURG. Pittsburg. — The Pittsburg Civic Commission, fathered by Andrew Carnegie and H. C. Frick, announces that soon there will arrive in Pittsburg one of the most important and high-priced trio of experts to be had in the country for the purpose of giving advice on Pittsburg's bad street car system, her river front and on plans for laying out the $500,000 park which will be built of Pittsburg through his daughter Helen. Those who have been employed to come at a salary of $800 a day ago are Blon J. Arnold, of Chicago; James R> Freeman, of Providence, and Frederick Law Olmstead, of Boston. Mr. Arnold, who is an expert on street railways, will do his best to Calgary, Alberta. — Word was brought here by a man named Edwards that the Canadian buffalo park at Walnwright, Alberta, had been destroyed by the prairie fire which has been burning in that section. As the fire burned the fence surrounding the parks the herds of buffalo, estimated at 800 animals, and a large herd of elk escaped. Many of the animals were killed. The fires caused a financial loss that will run into millions. the Alps and made long voyages against adverse conditions in all sorts of weather. His airship is larger than the steamship of thirty years ago and more speedy than those that are now crossing the ocean in record breaking time. I look to see airships of the Zeppelin type half a mile in length. They will not come down to the earth any more than the Mauretania will anchor in a shallow stream, but will be anchored up in the air, possibly a thousand feet or more. "Explosives will not be dropped down, as you could not hit a tug with an apple from Brooklyn Bridge, while an airplane 130 feet wide, special guns will be used, of course, and heavy ones like our present powder guns. "Ships at anchor will send up balloons or kites to carry special illuminants, and in time of war the heavens all around will be brilliantly lighted with special forms of rockets. "Men-of-war will be protected best by special armament for attacking alr craft. The airship, however, will rapidly develop as a peaceful device and will soon be as much a necessity of modern civilization as the automobile. "The attraction of gravitation, being a condition of matter, may soon be comprehended in such a way that the repulsion which some way or some how balances attraction may be utilized to many advantage. Many have made the airship possible. Years ago the French found that each horse power could lift thirty-two pounds, so as much as we develop our horse power below this weight so much net lifting power shall we gain. "But you asked me as to the military possibilities," continued Mr. Nixon. "We are on the eve of a tremendous and far-reaching change in warfare. As long ago as 1900 I pointed out that soon thunderbolts would be thrown. The significance of a news item published about a year ago of a man receiving a shock which nearly proved fatal while talking over a wireless telephone was not then fully appreciated. It would be possible at the present day to shock to death every man on a vessel at five miles distance, but so far the impulse cannot be projected at any one mark. But direction and aiming will be mastered after a while, and then thunderbolts will be thrown just as shells are thrown now." Hudson Bay Company's steamer Pellican, which took them to Fort-Churchill, where they remained until the arrival of the Adventure on her regular fall trip. The Adventure also brought several missionaries, surveyors and prospectors from the Northwest country. The Adventure's report of the cannibalism says the Eskimo's fishing and hunting season had been a failure, and, driven mad by hunger, he cut the throat of one of his children and then ate the little victim. When the man's neighbors learned of the crime they attacked him, according to the primitive law of their race. The outcast beat off all assaults, shot several of the attacking party and escaped into the wilderness of ice. figure out a way in which the transportation facilities of Pittsburg can be bettered. It is conceded that the street car service is about the worst in the country, Mr. Freeman is the hydraulic engineer whom President Taft is said to have paid $500 daily for making the trip to Panama, and he will take up the matter of Pittsburg's water frontage and suggest millions yearly lost through the rivers' overflow. Mr. Olmstead will tell the people of Pittsburg how they can best beautify the park's land given them by Frick. It is understood that Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Frick share equally the $800 a day paid to this trio of experts. Coal and Coke Advancing; Baltimore, Md.—For the first time since the early part of 1907 the railroads entering Baltimore, especially those having a large coal tonnage, are face to face with a car famine. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad began distributing coal cars on the percentage basis. In West Virginia scarcity of cars is more pronounced. Practically every mine in Maryland and West Virginia is being operated to the capacity of the railroads. Prices of coal and coke are rising. Among the Masons The brethren must pardon us for the absence of this column,durin the past two week. Our pressing duties caused its absence. Again, the door of our Order has been alarmed and another one of those whom we love has been carried to the Grand Lodge above in the person of our beloved Past Grand-Master and Grand Chaplain, Alexander Harris. He died in this city Saturday, Oct. 9, 1909 at 5:15 o'clock in the afternoon. At his funeral high honors were paid him by all classes of citizens. The Grand Secretary has sent out his suspension list for the third quarter. A copy was sent to each Lodge. Assessment for the Home-is-past due. Lodges that have not done so should forward same at once to Brother Spencer at Columbus. The present of teers of subordinate Lodges have but a short time in which to finish whatever record they wish to make for the year. Is this brotherly love incultured by Freemasonry a mere abstraction, a beautiful theory, or is it a genuine and sincere sentiment? "Seek your answer in any Lodge. Go among the brethren and listen to their conversation. It will not be necessary to ask questions. Where men or women are gathered together they talk about each other. Man is prone to judge his neighbor, and in the absence of his neighbor, that judgment is very plainly expressed. The character is laid bare and analyzed, its good qualities magnified, depreciated or ignored; its faults exposed, exaggerated or excused. In a brotherhood pledged to friendship and mutual assistance one would expect that each would spring to the defence of another when his reputation is assailed. Charitable judgment and kindly consideration at least may be assumed. If we love our brother, or if we merely esteem and respect him, we are slow to attribute to him unworthy actions or motives. If his character is aspersed we defend it, if appearances are against him we give him the benefit of the doubt. At the least, we refrain from criticism, from words that may give pain or cause others to regard our brother with contempt or derision. There is nothing vague or indefinite about the pledges of brotherhood, which we assume. And these pledges are not left to interpret and enforce themselves. They are emphasized and amplified throughout the entire system of Masonic lectures and lessons. The spirit of brotherly love and brotherly charity underlies all Masonic philosophy. Tails spirit is strangely manifested when Masons ridicule, disparage or even vilify an absent brother. We have heard such talk, and perhaps you have, flowing so gibly as to produce the impression that the speaker was strangely lost to the sense of honor, did not realize the enormity of his offence. It is charitable to him to attribute it to thoughtlessness and a bad habit of saying ugly things because they sound smart. At best such conduct is unkind, un- gaily and unmasonic. It should not be tolerated by decent men.—Masonle Standard. NOT A BED OF ROSES. Despite the fact that some believe to the contrary, it is nevertheless true that the mercenary or selfish man finds the Masonic fraternity a poor field for operations. Some get into the order. Certainly they do. Bad men are to be found in every community. Hypocrites are to be found in every church. It is unreasonable to suppose that Masonry would entirely escape the hanfeal influence of these men. But the trained and critical eye of the intelligent Mason usually readily detects the counterfeit, and he soon finds himself ignored, ostracized, so to speak. He is unable to understand his state of isolation, and immediately proceeds to find fault with the members. A little later he begins to abuse the order because it was not what he expected, and finally he sinks into obscurity whence he came. Occasionally one is enabled to ply his nefarious vocation for a time, and succeeds in imposing on the real Masons, but eventually the mask is torn from the face of the hypocrite and he receives his just deserts. The lot of the imposter within the order is anything but a bed of roses.—Masonic Chronicle. Masonry teaches men the practice of charity and beneyolence, to protect chastity, to respect the ties of blood and friendship, to adopt the principles, and reverence the sacraments of religion, assist the feeble, guide the blind, raise up the downtrodden, shelter 'the orphan, guard the altar, support the government, encourage wisdom, inculcate morality, promote learning, love man, fear God implore His mercy, and hope for happiness and immortality.—Missouri Freemason. Nothing is easier than faultfinding; no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character are required to set up in the grumbling business.—Robert West. DUSTY AND RESULTS.
