How' Horr Tackeled Sunset.
•*' New York Skr. *
Apropos of the homecoming of
Hon. S. S. Cox, I recall a story re¬
cently told me by Hon. William Dick¬
son, of Washington, about a funny
verbal set-to which the New Yorker
had with ex Congressman Roswell 9.
Horr, the famaus Michigan joker.
Horr made a great reputation for
laughing down and deriding opposi¬
tion arguments, and was looked upon
as almost invincible by his brother
republicans until he chanced one day
to lock horns with the gentleman
from the Ninth New York. The story
to this, as near as I remember:
It was daring the Forty-fourth
congress, in the coarse of a debate,
that Horr brought a laugh from the
galleries by referring to the scant
physical proportion of New York’s
Sunset. It was rather an unfortu¬
nate allusion for the warrior of the
Saginaws.
Cox looked at him a minute, then
turning, quoted: “Why should the
spirit of mortal be proud?” Pausing
he pointed to Horr’s big frame, and
continued: “Why should there be
proud flesh in this House? If Goliath
or Dan Lambert were here they
would criticise a man like Mr. Horr
about his girth. There to, Mr.
Speaker, no disability under the law
in a man being small. The constitu¬
tion forbids a man being a member
of this body under a certain age, but
it does not say that he must be six
feet high or two yards in girth.
“1 represent large men, fighting
men, good men, and they have never
thought of taking my altitude. My
constituents have never seemed te
think that blubber was intellect, that
meat meant manhood, or that layers
of lard over abdominal muscles made
Gladstones or Websters.
“ Were I called upon to write brother
Horr’s epitaph,” concluded the smil¬
ing Cox, “I should borrow from the
Sweet Stager of Michigan and Lord
Byron, and in mdurnful numbers
write:
«‘Lere lire the body livinggreaee of Congressman more.' Horr. ”
•Tie grease, bnt no
It to safe to say that Horr fought
shy of Mr. Cox in his play of wit af¬
ter that.

A GEORGIA OLlrifi GROVE.
Few people are there in tbe State,
though, who know that within her
eonfines there to a commercial olive
grove. But such to the fact, and
that grove to situated right here in
Glynn county.
A Times reporter met Mr. W. R.
Shadman, of St. Simon's, on the
street yesterday and greeted him
with, “bow is that olive grove?”
“Oh, booming,” was the reply. “I
have hsre a twig off of one of my
trees, which I brought for yon to
look at. What do yon think of those
for Georgia raised?”
“They are as fine'as one need want
to see,” answered the reporter as Mr.
Shadman handed him the twig, which
was about eight inches long and
contained sixteen large, well-formed,
bright colored,' half-grown olive,
which had every appearance of hav¬
ing grown ’neath Italy’s skies.
“How many of these trees have
you?”
“About three acres, and the trees
are just loaded down with them. I
will gather an immense crop of them
this year. There are not many peo¬
ple in Georgia, comparatively speak¬
ing, who know that there to an olive
grove in the State. My grove to the
only commercial one east of the
Rocky mountqfoa. There are one
or two groves in California, bat the
finest they bear will compare in no
way with those raised here. Mine
are much larger and better.”
“What do yon do' with the olives
you raise?”
“Pickle some of them, but make
the larger portion of them into oil.
I have on my place now a quantity
of the oil that is as nice and clear as
can be made anywhere.”
COMPARED WITH COTTON.
“How does olive growing compare
with cotton raising, from a peeunia-
standpoint?’
“You can make no comparison,
there to so much more profit in the
olives. Why, I make 250 gallons of
oil every year. That readily sells on
an average of $5 a gallon, or the
total output for |1,250. That is
all clear profit, too, for I sell enough
to pay all expenses. What three
acres can you put in cotton and make
it produce a yield of fl,250 clear
money? Yes, sir, I find a market for
all my oil and pickles.”
“Is the soil here adapted to olive
culture?”
“I should say it was. There to
none in the world more adapted to
it. Some of the trees on my place
are eighteen inches in diameter. But
there is the fruit to show for itself.
Look at that twig you have in your
hand and you won’t need to ask that
question. My trees are set out about
thirty feet apart, and it requires no
more work to cultivate them than
one ought to give to a peach or pear
tree.”
ANYTHING GROWS IN GEORGIA.
“Olives do wellin Georgiaor, rath¬
er Glynn county, then?”
“Yes, sir! But as for that any¬
thing will do well here. I have on
my {dace all the fruits commonly
grown fa the State as well as many
of those common in other countries,
such as dates, oranges and pecans.
My crop of pecans will be good this
year aleo. The trees are just loaded
down with fruit. By-the-way, pecan
culture to going to be a big industry
in Georgia, before many years. Just
mark my words.”
“How about dates?” «•* *
“They do nicely, too. I haven’t
but one tree now. That awful cold
spell which we had about five years
ago killed all the trees but one. That
to enough t» propagate from, howev¬
er, and in a few years I will have a
grove erf these trees also. I could
tell you more, but must catch the
boat. Coins over and see ms some
time and I will show you over my
place,”
With this Mr. Shadman was gone
and tbe reporter was left to think of
row. ... curative FT-—---

At Brunswick^Saturday a street car
ran over and badly injured Maggie
Richards, a negro child about 2 years
old. The child had been crawling
about in the street in front of God¬

until its screams were heard. The
car was promptly stopped and the
driver rushed to the child, finding
that two wheels had passed over its
hands, almost severing them from
the arms.
Few children can be induced to take physic

THE NEW POSTAL CARDS.
Something About Them That "Will In¬
terest the Public.
But few are aware that some impor¬
tant changes will be made soon in
the style, quality, convenience, etc.,
of the United States postal card.
The changes, however, are in favor
of the public, and will be appreciated.
The contract for furnishing postal
cards for the next four years, begin¬
ning October 1, next, has been award
ed to Albert Dagget of New York,
the lowest bidder under the recent
call for proposals. There is a mate¬
rial reduction in the cost by the
changes of contracts, although the
cards in the new contract are superi¬
or in quality to those in the old one,
and besides th* public will
be afforded better facilities
for correspondence and adver.
tising by the addition of two
new sizes of cards. Size No. k meas¬
ure* 2 15-16 by 4% inches, and weighs
5 pounds 12 ounce* a thousand. The
cost of this card will be 37 cents a
thousand. Size No. 2 is of the same
dimensions (3 by 5% inches) as the
present card, and weighs 5 pounds
5 ounces a thousand. Size No. 3
measures 3% by 6& inches, and weighs
9 pounds 1 ounce a thousand. The
contract price is 50 centsa thousand.
The estimated number of cards to
be required during the foui years of
the contract term to 2,000,000,000,
at a cost of $800,000. The reduc¬
tion in cost for the four years will
amount to fully $150,000, as com¬
pared to the price in the old contract.
The postage on the estimated quan¬
tity of cards to be called for during
the four years will amount to $20,-
000,000. The contract will require
nearly 7,000 tons of paper, or aver¬
age of about six tons for each
working day.
