Lumber In 1bc Northwest.
Borne surprising figures linvo just
t>een published anent tho grout lumber
industry of tho Pacific Northwest.
They illustrate how bountifully thpt
expansive region hns been timbered.
In Washington and Oregon there
arc over one thousand lumber and
wood working Grins, representing iv
combined capital of nearly $30,000, -
000 and employing 25,000 men. Tho
value of the product is ill tho neighbor
hood of $25,000,000 yearly. Ten
millions of dollars are annually brought
into these two States from foreign rtnd
domestic points in exchange for lum
ber, lath, shingles and other wood
products.
In Washington the cut of lumber for
1892 showed a largo decrease over the j
preceding year by reason of the fact
that the building boom beginning in
1890 began to subside during the latter
part of 1891. Tho cargo trade, how
ever, during 1892, and tho coastwise
movement, considerably increased, and
the Eastern demand for rail shipments
of lumber from Washington increased
fully twenty per cent. According to
indications, this year’s record will
eclipse all others of the past in tho
commercial progress of the Pacific
Northwest. The Puget Sound Lumber
man estimates that the standing t imber
in the Stutc of Washington amounts in
round numbers to 413,000,000,000
feet.
Tn order to grasp the magnitude of
these figures let tho reader, in bis
mind’s eye, imagine a solid train, 15,-
000 feet of lumber to the ear, stretch
ing 154,000 miles, or six times around
tho earth, and then enough cars left to
make a train stretching from Tacoma
across the continent to tho middle of
the Atlantic. Or, taking fifty cars for
a train, it would take 542,000 trains
to transport the standing timber of
Washington.
Heal Fighting Dervishes.
It is easier to turn a hungry I’gcr
aside from his prey than a thoroughly
excited dervish from his swoop on e,n
an enemy, says a military correspon
dent. His half brother in fanaticism
and creed, the Indian or Afghan Ghazi,
is terrible, but the African and Arab
dervish is superlatively awful, with an
incurable delirium for his opponent’s
gore. Howling and whirling dervishes,
such as travelers ure “specially con
ducted to see when visiting the East,”
are a comparatively harmless sort of
lunatics compared with those types of
African bigots who, “converted” to
Mahdism, burn to run amuck with tho
rest of unbelieving humanity. Onco
fairly bitten with the tarantula of Mos
lem sectarian zeal, the proselyte is
consumed with the belief that the* de
lights of the seventh or any number of
heavens await him if he can only en
gage in sturdy, steady butchery of
“infidels” of his own or any race. It
is a matter of indifference to him if in
the operation, while he sheathes his
sword in his and his prophet’s enemy,
the latter is doing the same to him.
Quick and happy translation he holds
ns his sure reward.—London Tl4c-

Samuel C. Dunlop, appointed
United States marshal for the North
ern district of Georgia, was born in
Gwinnett county about forty-five years
ago. Ho received his schooling at
Lawrenoevillo and in state institu
tions. Ho began practicing law at
Monroe, Ga., but, marrying a Jndy
whoso home wus near Gainesville, he
soon moved thcro, and ever afterward
practiced in that town. Ho is a fine
lawyer, and his practice grew more
and more profitable. He was attorney
for tlio Richmond and Danville at
Gainesville, and. for somo years was
Unitod States commissioner. He was
fortunate in real estate investments,
und lias u comfortable fortune.
Until recently, ho had no idoaof be
ing n candidate for marshal. It was not
until a deadlock was evident between
Itenfroc and Dismuke that ho conclud
ed to make tho raced Hon Carter Tate,
congressman from the ninth, mndo u

lent his aid. Tho compromise candi

gives complete satisfaction. Mr, Dun

Justice Jackson, in announcing the
postpone lit of the further considera
tion of the Central railroad ease until
the 2(>th of June, clearly indicated his
determination to wind up the litiga
tion as soon sh possible. He said :
Counsel should fuuiiituto ouch other »b much
n« possible in tho preparation of tho cine for
tho iliml hearing. Horn in a groat property
com mitt oil to the court for administration in
which largo interests arc involved, and thcro

dtatrihution of tho fund in court.
This 1h on exactly tho right line.
The law’s delay in such a Cftse operates
to the serious damage of thousands of
poor people, widows and orphans and
others whose money is invested in tho
property which has been so long in
court, whore it runs tho risk of being
eaten up by the expenses of litigation.
Tho pooplo are anxious to seo tho easo
disposed of and tho Central taken out

interest to havo so many southern rail
roads tied up in receiverships, and as
the eases seem to bo endless, capital
gets tho impression that things aro in

A WnrMup for (Joor®iii.
Lieutenant. Satterleo has a map of
Georgia hanging in his office at th«
capital which is different from any in
tho state. Ho took one of tho regu
lation maps and has dotted it with
circles and flags—in yellow, blue, red
and other colors. Ho can tell at a
glance where each company is located
und where its regimental or battalion
headquarters are. Tho flags indicate
tho headquarters. If it is a blue flag
it means infantry. A yellow flag de
notes cavalry headquarters. A
yellow oirele shows an infantry
company. Tf there is a black ring
inside either the blue or the
yellow it denotes that the troops there
are colored. There is a state flag at
Griffin to denote tho encampment..
Savannah has tho greatest number of
circles and flags. Him has something
of every kind, and tho whole face of
tho earth down there would appear to
ho covered by militia. Lieutenant
Satterleo is tracing the route which
each company should t ake to get to t lio
stuto encampment nr to a common
point in ease of mobilization. This
will bo valuable, for should the occa
sion ariso when quick mobilization of
several companies is necessary, a
glance at. this map will tell which com
panies are tho most convenient anil
can ho thrown to the spot in tho short

Governor Northen has signed tho
order commuting the sentence of Dr.
Von Polnitz from hanging to impris
onment in tho penitentiary for life.
Tlio governor had been bcsefgod by
petitioners, lawyers, personal letters
and every form of apponl that could
ho made. Great pressure was brought
to bear on him to save tho man’s life.
The mother and the sister of tho con
demned man kept writing to his ex
cellency to spuro the prisoner’s life.
On tho other hand the family of tho
murdered woman begged tho executivs
to let the man hang. They said that
ho dosorvod tho extreme penalty of the
law. They told how dear the victim
was to them. The court had pro
nounced tlio mnn guilty and sentenced
him to death. After weighing every
thing oarofully, the governor decided to
sign thoorder commuting tho sentence
to imprisonment in tho penitentiary
for life. Hero aro tlio governor’s reu
sons for tho commutation:
Whereas, Very stroiie appeals havo lieon
made to mo Involving clemency in Ills bulialf
urging that tlio crimo waa not of snob a charac
ter as to doservo the ext none penalty of tho
law That there was no iltroct proof which es
tablished ao intention to lilt his wifo though
h’s conduct was brutal.
And, whereas,'Dio grand Jury of tlio county
sav; “Wo find such a lingering fooling among
tlio law-abiding pooplo of the county tlmt thine
was, to a certain degree, an abai-noe of that de
liberate intention to kill, that makes tho aban
don'd and malignant lioart ond all believe that
tho end. of justice und ttiat regard and respect
for law that is tho health of every community
morally, would bo better subserved by a coni-
mntation of tho sentonoo to imprisonment for
life,” and
Wheroai, Tho foreman of tlio Jury who
found tlio verdict says: “.Since tlio trial wo
have come to the conclusion that a commuta
tion to life imprlsonmant would serve all the
ends of Justice,'' and
WhereaB, The solicitor general Joins in the
request fur a commutation of tlio sentence enf
the Judge savs: "At the conclusion of the toe
timony I was impressed ttiat nos - ..und
guilty of murder, but that tlio Jury slum'll

of tlio possible lack of inteullon to kill,” and
Whereas, A largo proportion of the law-

The returns of tho school census
show that in south Georgia the in
crease in the school population has
been heavy, while in tho middle and
upper pnrtH of the state, tho counties
have not, gone ahead much, and in
some instances t hey have gone back
wards. A gratifying showing is in tho
decrease in illiteracy in the state. I
The census givcH the number of school
(liildrtu in Utirgin, their nines, I
color, sex, whether they have ever
attended selimtl of any kind or not, j
whether they eatt rend and write, tho
number of blind and deaf and dumb
and idiots.
Savannah makes tho best showing as
to education. In tlio wliolo city there
nre only ten white boys anil four white
girls, between the ages uf ten and
eighteen, who cannot read and write.
Out of a total white school population
of 5,398 only fourteen are so illiterate
that they cannot read anil write. This
is a high testimonial to the school sys
tem uf that city. In a culoroil popu
lation uf 5,871 there aro 538 who can-
nut read and write. That, iH consider
ed a very small per cent. Chatham
county lias a total school population
of 15,530, an increase since 1888 of
2,844, or 18 per cent.
Dooly county makes a wonderful
showing, its iucreaso in school popu
lation in the last five years being 90
per cent. Tati nail's iucreaso lias boon
40 per cent, Montgomery’s 41 per
cent. Tatnnil county hits 1,319 moro
school children now than she had live
years hack, and Montgomery hns 1,018
more school children in 1893 than she
had in 1888.
Hancock county has lost 508 school
children. Rockdale hail eight moro
school children in 1888 than in 1893.
The town of Ousueta, in Cliathoo-
chco county, makes a lino showing. In
that town there is not a single white
child, of school age, that cannot read
and write. And thcro are only seven
negro children in tho town who aro
illiterate to tho oxtent that they can
not read and write. There are 118
school children in tlio place.
Habersham county hns 980 school
children who are illiterate. This coun
ty hns gained 259 children since tho
lust census.
Towns county makes a fair showing
of children who have had a schooling,
but the gain there has not been largo.
Throughout, the mountain counties
many families havo gone away to Utah,
Texas and other south and southwest
ern states and territories.
When tho statistics aro compiled
they will he deeply interesting and
useful. They will refute the charge
of Georgia’s illiteracy. Thcro is no
doubt in the world that tbero are sec
tions of Georgia which enjoy ns good
school systems ns the most favored
states. Georgia has lino teachers in
spots, and whoro thcro aro good
schools tlio children can read and
writo. Tho gains in population in
south Georgia aro explained by the
fact that new railroads have been built
through that part of tliestntonnd have
brought in now settlers. Those sec
tions which exhibit gains in tho num
ber of school population will get larger
proportions of tho school fund than
they linvo enjoyed in the past.
Captain Bradwell, the state school
commissioner, is compiling tho statis
tics with great oaro.

A pretty good story is told of tlio
wny in which the officers of n eortuiii
sloop-of-wnr Of the North Atlantic
squadron succeeded in getting their
ship’s slow nnd antiquated steam
launch replaced by one of a later and
more fashfonahlo type. It happened
tlmt tlio vessel hauled into a navy yard
for its periodical repairs. While thcro
the launch was loudly complained of
as too heavy and uuwichlly for a sloop-
of-wnr to carry, and a careful weigh
ing By the yard authorities verified the
complaint. Thereupon a new and swift
little craft which cost Uncle Sam ever
so many hundreds of dollars was sub
stituted, and the sloop-of-wnr steamed
exultantly away. But when the old
launch was sent to the boat shop f«*r
overhauling the workmen found snug
ly stowed away out of sight along the
keelson nearly a thousand pounds of
superfluous ballast iron. The appar
ently unaccountable weight ol' the re
jected boat was readily explained.—
