Who Will Get Fair’s Wealth?
Savannah News.
Indications point to an inter
esting contest over the estate of
Charles Fair, who, with his wife
was killed in au automobile acci
dent in France a few days ago. It
is estimated that Mr. Fair’s es
tate is worth somewhere between
$5,000,000 to 810,000.000, and
that Mrs. Fair’s estate is worth
about $4000,000.
Mrs. Fair has numerous heirs,
and it is stated that they have al
ready taken steps to claim the es
tate of Mr. Fair, who has only
two heirs, his sisters, one of them
being Mrs. H. Oelrichs and the
other Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr.
Everything depends upon, wheth
er Mr. or Mrs. Fair died first. Of
course if Mr. Fair died first his
wife inherited a big share of his
estate, even if there were no will.
If he made a will, and it is un
derstood he did, the probability
is that he left the bulk of his for-
tune to her, and if she survived
him even for a few moments the
will became operative and her
heirs would receive a very hand
some property. It is not to be
wondered at "therefore that the
heirs of Mrs. Fair are early in the
field with their claim that Mr.
Fair died first.
But if Mrs. Fair died first none
of Mr. Fair’s millions will go to
Mrs. Fair’s heirs. His property
will all go to his two sisters. The
information thus far received
shows that both were killed in
stantly. There is absolutely no
testimony that one died before
the other. If it cannot be shown
that one survived the other, even
a half a minute, or even less time,
it will be assumed that Mr. Fair
lived the longer. This would 1 be
in accordance with the law of Cal
ifornia, which is bassed upon the
presumption that a man, as a
rule, is stronger than a woman. ’
There is a chance for a big fight
over Mr. Fair’s estate, and it is
highly probable that the fight will
be made. The two persons who
saw Mr. and Mrs. Fair after the
accident in which they were killed
may have to travel all the way
from France to Colifornia to be
come witnesses, and may furnish
the newspapers with some sensa
tional items.

Corn Row 25 Miles Long.
Kansas is simply inexhaustible
in the matter of oddities. JuBt
when it might be supposed that
she had run the whole gamut,
she appears with another novelty
such as nobody else in all the
wide world would ever have
thought of. For example, re
marks the Kansas City Star, a
Kingman County farmer is grow
ing a row of corn a little moro
than twenty-five miles long, for
no other reasbn than to be singu
lar and extraordinary. He com
menced in a fifty-acre field and
went round and round in a circle
with a lister until he had planted
the whole in a single row which
commences at one of the edges
and terminates in the middle.
When he cultivated it, of course,
he had to plow the same way. As
appearances go the field will make
as much crop as it would if plant
ed in the ordsnary way.

There are some women who seem
to be perennially youthful. The
grown daughters are companions
as well as children, and the color
in the mother’s cheeks,the bright
ness in her eyes, the roundness of
her form, all speak of abounding
health. What is her secret? She
is at the middle age of li£e when
so many women are worn, wasted
and faded, and yet time has only.i
ripened her charms. The secret
of this matronly health and beau
ty may be told in the brief phrase,
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
The general health of woman is so
intimately reiated to the local
health of the delicate womanly
organs,, that where these are dis
eased, the whole body must suf
fer. “Favorite Prescription”dries
the debillitating drains, heals ul
ceration and inflation, cures fe
male weakness and imparts to the
delicate female organs natural vi
gor and vitality. Women who
have lost their health and their
beauty have been made “robust
and rosy cheeked” by the use of I
this marvelous medicine. j

Bradstreets learn that the'Unit-
ed States treasury during the
year ended June 80 turned out 79-
fill,148 cents and 26,480,218 nick
els. Massachusetts took 5.000,-
000 cents, Pennsylvania 4,000,000,
Illinoise 7,000,000, and New York
state nearly 10,000,000. These
are the great cent using states aud
stand yi the same order as to con
sumption of nickels. Ten years
ago pennies were little used in
California and the south,and were
unknown things in Nevada, Wyo
ming and Arizoua. Up to date
Uncle Sam has turned out 1,100,-
000,000 cents, 840,000,000 nickels,
100,000,000 dimes, 200,000,000
quarters aud 150,000,000 half-dol
lars. Years ago the government
issued 4.500,000 bronze two-cent
pieces, and of these over 3,000,-
000 are outstanding. The same
is true of the nickel three-cent
pieces, of which nearly 2,000,0001
are unaccounted for. Slot ma
chines, penny newspapers and the
odd prices in dry good shops have
increased the demand for coppers.
Cents and nickels wear out pretty
rapidly because they are constant
ly passing from hand to hand,and
the immense number of them that
pour into the treasury at Wash
ington are carefully assorted for
the purpose of picking out those
which are too much damaged to
be fit for further use. The life of
a cent is only four or five years.
Cents are subject £to more acci
dents than any other coins, and
the treasury has to go on turning
out new ones at the rate of 60,-
000,000 to 90,000,000 a year. The
cent is a barometer of business
conditions. A heavy storm or a
sudden coming of cold weather—
anything in short, that keeps the
penny-spending part of the popu
lation at home—is reflected in the
falling off of the cents coming to
the subtreasuries for exchange.
During periods ol dullness cents
accumulate at sub-treasuries, but
when trade revives they begin to
circulate rapidly again.
It will be a great day for the
traveling public when the steam
locomotive is put out of commis
sion, and this desideratum is in a
fair way of. being realized. The
New York Central is to substitute
electricity for steam on its trains
within a radius of thirty miles
from New York. As steam en
gines wear out, they are to be re
placed by electric motors.

The Philadelphia Record says:
“One thing is ' clear with refer
ence to William Jennings Bryan
and that is that the Republican
press of the country is working
him for all he is worth as a
means of attracting attention
away from the delinquencies of
their own party and of fanning
anew the embers of strife among
Democrats.”
The following explanatory note
accompanied a young man’s wed
ding gift to a friend: ,‘My Dear
Girl: You will find in the box a
thingamajig which has something
to do with eating. It’s a cross be
tween a harpoon and a hayfork. It
may be for spearing pickles or stack
ing chopped cabbage. Anyway, you
will be so happy that you won’t
care.”
British soldiers who have been
serving in South Africa are apply

It is highly endorsed and is destined to

Something About Fowls.
The introduction of Asiaticrbred
fowls into the United States ha*^ great
influence for good among our Ameri
can fowls. The Shanghai, or original
Cochin, brought increased size and bet
ter egg production and their use as
a cross upon the common barnyard
fowls created a desire for more and
better poultry. The promiscuous mix
ing of these new and highly esteemed
fowls laid the foundation for all of
our so-called American breeds.
The Brahma was the first breed
credited to us as an American produc
tion, anad though classed as ah Asi
atic fowl, they are the outcome of
great skill :n breeding.
The Plymouth Rocks are.great fa
vorites with chicken fanciers because
of their constitutional vigor. They
prosper where any other fowl can live
and thrive under all conditions that
are at all suitable for fowls.
Our present type of the Plymouth
Rock is the outcome of a careful hand
ling of fowls by the mating of Rose-
comb American Dominique males
with single comb black Java females.
Those having the best color and single
comb among those produced were se
lected and bred together, and thence
was the start of the present perfected
fowl.
Breeds allied to the. Plymouth
Rocks are the Jersey Blue and the
Rhode Island Red.
But we have not time to go into full
descriptions of all these varieties.
What has been said is only to show
that there Is In poultry raising great
room for the exercise of skill.
Breeders of poultry in Georgia do
not generally need the close houses
that are found in higher latitudes.
During the winter they may be used
to advantage. But at all seasons thor
ough ventilation is an absolute neces
sity. The roof of a chicken house
should be close enough to keep out the
rain, and all its sides, except the south,
should be close enough to exclude
the cold winds. Do not let the fowls
be exposed to draughts of air. Be
careful to protect the roosts against
such draughts. The floor of a chicken
house should be frequently sprinkled
with diluted sulphuric acid, which
should be carefully handled to avoid
injury to the clothing or persons of
those applying it.
In Georgia fowls are healthier, If left
to roost in the trees during the sum
mer.
Birds free to roam find their susten
ance from seeds, green vegetable mat
ter and insects. If confined within
narrow limits $hey must be supplied
with what they desire and need, by
the foresight and provident care of
the owner. Otherwise the fowls will
suffer privation and become unprofit
able for either eggs or flesh.
