can produce two and some times three
crops on the same area. Labor is
cheap and can be made efficient. We
find ready markets right here in our
Southern cities that consume thous
ands of canned goods every season,
much of it having been raised on our
soil, shipped to Northern markets and
returned to us in cans. This should
continue no longer but Georgia should
dry or put into cans her enormous
supplies of vegetables and fruits.
There is absolutely no reckoning our
loss m this line annually. The hulk
of these crops mature during two or
three months of the spring and sum
mer, and is largely in excess of our
consumption, the surplus going to
waste. In every garden and orchard
in Georgia immense quantities of
fruits and vegetables decay every sea

a fine profit. A canning factory iu
Athens would benefit every farmer for
miles around, would enrich the owner
anil give employment to a large num
ber of laborers. .

The large dry goods and general mer

through the careless of a clerk who
struck a match to light a cigarette while

plosion ef twenty barrels of alcohol fol
lowed, wrecking the building. The to
tal loss is $75,000. Mounted policemen
with prawn swords, forced the spectators
to assist in checking the flames. Two
Americans, not understanding Spanish,
were impressed into service after receiv

. , nialadies which sweep men
into eternity by thousands without
warning in the times of great epi
demics. But it is a mercy that, if
we are watchful, we can tell when
we are threatened. The following
are among the symptoms, yet they
do not always necessarily appear in
the same order, nor are they always
the same in different coses. There
is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad
taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning; the appetite is change
able, sometimes poor and again it
seems as though the patient could
not eat enough, and occasionally no
appetite at all; dullness and slug
gishness of the mind; no ambition
to study or work; more or less head
ache and heaviness in the head;
dizziness on rising to the feet or
moving suddenly; furred and coat
ed tongue; a sense of a load on the
stomach that nothing removes; hot
and dry skin at times; yellow tinge
in the eyes; scanty and liigh-colored
urine; bout taste in the mouth, fre
quently attended by palpitation of
the heart; impaired vision, with
spots that seem to bo swimming in
tho air before the eyes; a cough,
with a ’ greenish-colored expecto
ration; pool* nightfV rest; a sticky
slime about the teeth and gums;
hands and feet cold and clammy;
irritable temper and bowels bound
up and costive. This disease has
puzzled the physicians and still puz
zles them. It is the commonest of
ailments and yet the most compli
cated and mysterious. Sometimes
it is treated as consumption, some
times as liver complaint, and then
again as malaria and even heart dis
ease. Biit its real nnturo is that of
constipation and dyspepsia. It arises
in the digestive organs and soon
affects all tho others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood.

the nervous system—is Morally

never fails but, nevertheless, no time
should be lost in trying other so-

Tbo Fisheries Treaty.
Washington, February 10.—The pro
visions of the fisheries treaty, signed
last evening, is the subject of much spec
ulation and discussion to-day. Among
those who lave followed the disputes
most closely, the belief prevails that the
United States has relinquished all claim
ta fishing rights within four miles of the
shore of the Canadian coast, or in any
bay, and that the treaty contains a list
of in-shore waters conceded to the ex
clusive jurisdiction of Canada. On the
other hand, Canada has relinquished her
claim that the coast line is drawn from
headland to head land,and has conceded
that her bays, more than eight miles in
width, are open to our fisheraicn for fish
ing at a distance of four or five miles from
shore. The agreement as to fishing
grounds is supplemented by an arrange
ment as to disputed questions regarding
the rights of American vessels in Cana
dian ports.

New Fashion In Bookbinding.
Boston has a new fashion in bookbind
ing; the colors of the volumes in largo
6ets are varied. One of the leading bind
ers has just finished a set of Dickens for
n private library in sixteen different col
ors. “Each novel,” says Arlo Bates,
“was bound in an individual hue, tho
only duplication occurring where a tale
came in two volumes. Red, brown,
orange, light and dark blue, lemon,
fawn, maroon, brown nnd black were
among the tints chosen, and with each
went a harmonious gold line English
paper. The effect of this fashion is very
pretty, and even brilliant. It is used to
break the uniformity of a score of vol
umes in a single tone,”—New York

life for $300^000 and then commit
ted suicide, is not dead after all.
Since suit was brought to compel
the unwilling insurance companies
to pay their policies, detectives bpve
been investigating the case and
now they claim that Tyler is alive
and residing under an assumed
name in Venezuela. His sister,
whn lives in Boston, is said to have
received a letter from him, and a re
lative, who claimed to have seen
this letter, has been in communica
tion with the detectives with a view
to selling his information, on which
he has set a price. Itis supposed
that after his pretended death Tyler,
who had only been rendered uncon-
cious by powerful drugs’ was taken
from New York to Boston, where a
corpse was substituted for his. This
was rendered possible, as he was
not placed on ice and no autopsy
was made until the corpse reached
Boston, and then the substitute
readily passed for Tyler, who is
claimed to hnve sailed for Vene
zuela under an assumed name. The
officers are working on this theory
now, and hope to locate Tyler before
long, and, if possible, effect his ex
tradition.

About sunset Wednesday evening the
town of Monticello was startled by the
whip-like report of a pistol in the store
of Messrs. W. A. Kelly Sc Bros., and the
report was buzaing on the street that
there was a dead man on the corner at
Kelly’s. Inquiry revealed that the re
port was true. It seems that ifr. Paul
Roberts, who clerks for tbe Messrs. Kel
ly, had loaned his pistol to a negro boy,
Lewis Edmunds by name, who resides
io town. Edmunds visited the Circle
and carried the pistol with him. Re
turning this afternoon he entered the
store to return the pistol to Mr. Rob
erts, and while pussing him, or u
Mr. Roberts went to place it in the
drawer, it exploded—the ball striking
Edmunds fairly in the breast caus
ing his death in a few moments.
