GEORGIA’S DAY
AT JAMESTOWN
'Was a Tremendous Success in
Every Feature of Program.
ROOSEVELT IS HONORED
Was Drawing Card at Many Interesting
Functions Which Went Through
Without a Hitch.
• The Jamestown exposition manage
ment has determined to look upon
Monday, June 10, the occasion of Pres
ident Roosevelt’s second visit as the
real opening of the exposition. The
president lost no opportunity to voice
his approval of tne showing made
since the backward opening of the ex
position on April 26, and with this
high endorsement, the management
ieels that it is in position to adver
tise an attraction for which apologies
need not be made. This was Georgia
Day and the opening of Bulloch hall,
a replica of the early home of Pres
ident Roosevelt’s mother at Roswell,
Ga. ( erected as the Georgia state build
iDg, was the feature that drew the
president to the exposition lor a sec
ond visit.
From the moment the president,
Mrs. Roosevelt and their distinguished
guests were landed at the government
pier at 10:50 o’clock a. in. until their
departure at 4:37 o clock in the after
juoou, every minute was occupied.
The president spoke in the Georgia
ceremonies from the reviewing stand,
and during the afternoon addressed
the convention of the National Edi
torial Association In the exposition au
ditorium. On both occasions he was giv
en an enthusiastic welcome. He visited
the Georgia building, the New York
building and the negro exhibit, and
In his drives over the grounds thou
sands of people lined the streets and
gave him a continuous ovation.
president Roosevelt admired the at
tractive exhibit arranged by negroes
and was much interested in a remark
uble collection of Abraham Lincoln
relics, including a log cabin repre
senting the humble birthplace of Lin
coln.
An interesting feature of the day
occurred iu the Georgia state building,
where Governor Terrell, on behalf of.
his state, presented a silver service,
costing SIO,OOO, to the battleship Geor
gia, the service being accepted by
the officers of the new vessel. The re
ception by ‘.he ladies of the Georgia
commission in honor of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt followed. Admission
was by card to Georgians only and
to army and navy officers in uniform.
Alter this a luncheon was given in
the building to the president and his
party ami Rear Admiral Evans.
The schedule arranged iu advance
was followed to the letter and an un
usually strenuous day was closed
without an unpleasant Incident of note
having occurred. The police arrange
ments for the hapdling of the great
crowd were so excellent as to call
forth favorable comment on every
aide.
The naval review of men-of-wnr in
Hampton Roads and the reception of
the commanders, of American and for
eign vessels which preceded the presi
dent’s arrival at the grounds, and the
military review on Lee parade, follow
ing the president’s forenoon address,
were the same as on the opening day,
with the exception of some slight dif
ference in the personnel of the partic
ipants.
It was a distinguished party that
reviewed the assembled vessels from
the Mayflower. Immediately upon the
arrival of that vessel the party of Sec
retary of the Navy Metcalf was trans
ferred from the Dolphin. The others
to join the president were Governor
Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia and W.
N. Mitchell of the Georgia state com
mission.
Passing over the same course as
when he visited the exposition on the
opening day, the president reviewed
the fleets of seven nations, six in ad
dition to the United States.
The sea-flghters were in gala attire,
the flags of the different countries rep
resented malting a striking picture. As
the Mayflower steamed flown the long
column of vessels, each in turn greet
ed the president, who occupied the
bridge of his trim yacht, with a salute
ef twentynone guns. The foreign vea
eels had the positions of honor in a
line nearest aud parallel to the expo
sition grounds and were reached fir*s>t
by the Mayflower, so that their guns
were the first to be heard in souudiug
their salutations.
DISSENTING OPINION
Of Commissioner Brown in Connection
With Reduction of Passenger
Rates in Georgia.
Georgia Railroad Commissioner Jo
eeph M. Brown has filed his dissenting
opinion in the matter of the reduced
passenger rates. He has dissented
from the majority report in the A and
B classes, which placed the Atlanta
and West Point and the Western and
Atlantic in the 2-cent class and the
Coast Line, Charleston and Western
Carolina and the Georgia in the 2 1-4-
cent class. The length of the opinion
precludes its publication in full. It
says in part:
“Permit me to state here that this
commission has never before ordered
a sweeping cut of 33 1-2 per cent in
the rates previously fixed for either
of the two great departments of rail
road traffic.
“Coming to the case in point, the
supreme court says that we cannot fix
the rates for intrastate traffic on the
basis of the earnings on interstate
traffic. Yet, so far as the Western
and Atlantic railroad is concerned, the
majority of tbia commission is today
ordering the reduction of the local
passenger rates of the Western and
Atlantic railroad from 3 cents per
mile to 2 cent3 per mile —a dut of
33 1-3 per cent —and is basing its ac
tion upon the fact that the net earn
ings of the Western and Atlantic rail
road for the year ended June 30, 1906,
were $5,097.48 per mile. But from
these figures we must deduct the
amount of the rental aud of the taxes,
both paid to the state. The deduction
in cpiestion leaves a net income of
$200,054.75, or $1,884.45 per mile, ail
amount equal to less than 33 per cent
on $8,000,000, and the road is certain
ly worth more than that sum.’’ I
Continuing his argument Mr. Bt’owrJ
says “that the wages of labor aud tlnl
prices of everything they have tx> bi*.
to operate the road are higher now
than at any time since the lease be
gan, and that hence the company, to
my mind, had an equity against the
reduction of the passenger rate be
low the figures in effect when they
bid for and received the lease.
“I cannot concur in the flat rate of
2 cents per milee proposed for the
Western and Atlantic railroad by the
majority of this commission. 1 do not
believe the courts will sustain it. 1
do not believe It to be just.
“And this opinion as to the general
result applies to the rates you pro
pose for all the railroads you have
placed in classes A and B.
• I have staled that the masses of
the people received no benefit from
the enormous reductions in the freight
rates,.made in 1905. 1 will assert with
the utmost emphasis that 1 have prov
ed the truth of the statement in ques
tion by quoting the highest authority
which can speak.
“And 1 assert with equal emphasis
that if the freight rates in Georgia
be reduced $2,000,000 more the far
mers and other laboring people will
not get SSOO out of the total sum. It
will simply be another dividend for
the manufacturers and some of the
jobbers.
“As I have shown in my motion pro
posing the application of the zone
system in Georgia, the masses of the
people get the benefit of reduced pas
senger rates, although they have failed
to gel any benefit from the reduction
iu freight rates. Hence, in deciding
this case, we must hold in mind that
the toiler at the plow, the smith at
the anvil, the planer at the carpen
ter’s bench and the spinner in the
cotton factory have rights equal to
those of the tradesman in his office.
"But in endeavoring tp secure for
the masses of the people the benefits
of reduced passenger rates " e must
have a care lest iu grasping for too
much we lose all. ’
Mr. Brown presents examples to
show that many of the rates under
the zone system which he proposed
would be lower thau those under the
schedule finally adopted.
In classes O, D and E and the spe
cial groups Commissioner Brown is
entirely in accord with the other com
missioners.
SUICIDE RECORDS ARE SMASHED.
Chicago and Codk County Show Long List
of JSitHj-Murderers.
Chicago's fuide record was bro
ken in May [when 55 persons iu the
city ended their lives, iu Cook coun
ty there were 199 cases of self-de
struction up to June 8, and the ef
fect of the weather is to be seen in
the increasing scale.
The effect on all sorts of crime
also was manifest. Iu the first five
mouths of the year there were 75
murders, 22 of which were committed
iu May.
Color Blindness.
If one thousand men gaze at.a gar
den of flowers, fifty of them will see
the colors falsely. If one thousand
women view them, nine hundred and
ninety-six or seven will pereeiye the
hues correctly. Of the six colors of
the rainbow, which, mingled in thous
ands of combinations, give all the
varying hues of sky and sea, of moun
tain and valley, some are never seen
by the color blind, or are felt only as
light and shade of black and white.
Very few persons are totally color
blind, yellow, blue and violet being
rarely lost. To the totally color blind
all landscapes and objects are like an
engraving in black and white. —'Cen-

EXIT THE MILKMAID.
Henceforth Cows Will Ee Milked by
Electricity.
The public in general, and dairy
men in particular, will doubtless be
keenly interested in the machine
milking experiments which have late
ly been conducted with such success
in the United States. It is, of course,
no news to those in the business that
during the last fifty years many at
tempts have been made to provide a
mechanical substitute for the milk
maid, but until lately these attempts
have ended in failure.
Hundreds of patents have been tak
en out by inventors for milking-ma
chines, but when put to the test they
refused to fulfil all necessary require
ments.
America, however, claims to have
solved the difficulties in a most satis
factory manner, and today there are
over 1,000 milking-machines in use
in the States. These machines are of
two different types, one being worked
fay foot-power and the other by an
/electric motor. In both cases the
nnachines have a couple of tubes, with
four attachments at the end of each
enabling the operator to milk two
cows at once, thus causing a great
saving of time.
Each machine can be adjusted that
it will milk at a fast or slow rate,
and it has been proved that machine
milked cows yield more butter than
others.
One might naturally suppose that
the animals themselves would not
take very kindly to the introduction
of such machines. It has been found,
however, that, w r hile some may be a
little restless at first, on account of
the clicking of the pulsators, as a
rule they soon become quiet and rec
onciled to the action, and stand still
chewing their cud without manifest
ing any discomfort.
It Is estimated that machine-milk
ers reduce the labor by about one
half, and consequently their introduc
tion enables the dairyman to reap
greater profits and enlarge his busi
ness. Futbermore, when the machines
are kept clean, the milk from them
contain fewer bacteria than hand
drawn milk, although, of course, care
lessness in cleansing may make them
nuisances rather than aids to the
dairyman.—Tit-Bits.
One of the sights which everywhere
greets the traveler’s eye in this coun
try is thousands of saw mills, greedi
ly chewing up our forest wealth, la
ments the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The number of these is so great that
one can readily believe we are con
suming 45,000,000,000 feet of lumber
each year. This does not take into
account 'the damage that is done to
timber aud undergrowth by forest
fires. When this loss is added to that
being cut for domestic use, for ex
port, for telegraph and telephone
poles, for cross ties and fuel, and for
timbers to be used in mining opera
tions, it is said that our national sup
ply of timber can hardly last more
than twenty years.

AX OLD EDITOR
Found S2OOO Worth of Food.
The editor of a paper out in Okla.

for it made me a well man. I have
gained 25 pounds in weight, my
strength has returned tenfold, my

read the advertisements regarding
Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap
ply the food to my own use, until, in
my extremity and sickness the
thought came to me that it might fit
my case. The statements in regard
to the food are absolutely correct, as
I have proven in my own case. One
very fortunate thing about the food
is that while It is the most scientific

Teriffic Cloudburst and Whrling
Tornado Cut Deadly iwath.
LONG LIST OF INJURED
Twenty-Nine People Lose Life, Twenty-
One Being taught by Cloudburst
in Little Kentucky Town.
Twenty-nine known dead and forty
persons injured constitute the list of
casualties resulting from storms of
tornado severity which swept over
southern Illinois an*d Indiana and cen
tral Kentucky Friday nignt and Satur
day. These fatal visitations came in
the shape of cloudbursts, nigh winds
and electrical disturoances. The prop
erty damage will reach many thous
ands of dollars. Houses were swept
away, bridges demohsned and thou
sands of acres of growing crops de
stroyed.
Gradyvilie, Ky. ( was the worst suf
ferer. A clouduurst ueiuged tnat vil
lage of 15U persons shruy after mid
night Friday night. At New Min
den, 111., a tornado Saturday morning
killed five people and injured a naif
dozen others. At l orlt, ill., on the
Wabash river, three peasons were kill
ed and thirty injured. At Uuquern,
111., many houses wereb lown donwn
on the outskirts of the towu and four
persons were injured.
Twenty-one persons dead, the vil
lage devas.atea and several thousand
acres of growing crops ruined, is the
sum total of the havoc wrought by the
cloudbursts that de-scended on,Grady
vilie, and vicinity Friday nigiit.
Ail the dead are residents of Grady
vilie, and although reports are meager,
owing to the remoteness of the place
and the prostration of telephone and
telegraph wirts, it is believed that no
further fatalities will be reported
from the surrounding country.
The disaster was uue to the erratic
behavior of Big Creek, ordinarily a
small stream, but whten was already
swollen by recent rains. When the
cloudburst precipitated three inenes
of rain in an hour on Gradyvilie and
vicinity, the creek leaped from its
bed and took anew course with the
impetuosity of a tidal wave. The in
habitants of Gradyvilie had no warn
ing aud nearly ail were abed wnen
the foaming waters struck the place,
carrying away six larger residences,
a mill and a number of smaller houses.
Nearly ail the vict.ms were urowned,
but lour were crushed by the collapse
of their dwellings when the torrent
struck them.
As soon as the news of the disaster
reached Columbia, Ky., the nearest
town of any size, several hundred cit
izens departed at once for the scene
with wrecking appliances, tood and
clotHing, all the physicians available
accompanying them. They found the
residents of the devastated village
dazed aud helpless, but by nightfall
all the relief possible had been altord
ed. Several persons had been injured,
but it is stated that none of tnese
will die.

SULPHUR BRINGS HEALTH.
Purifies the Blood and Clear! Up the
Complexion.
Everybody needs to take Sulphur at
this season. Nothing like it to purify the
blood, clear up the complexion and remove
“that tired feeling.” But the only way to
take it is in liquid form. Hancock’s Liquid
Sulphur taken internally is the best Spring
tonic. Applied externally Hancock’s Liquid
Sulphur quickly cures Eczema, Tetter, and
all Skin Diseases. Hancock’s, the only
Liquid Sulphur Ointment, removes Pim
ples, Blackheads and Sores, and gives a
