Superstitious porsons will be apt
to note the fnct that there were thir
teen people in that Pittsburg elevator
which fell with such disastrous results,
and that the aeeideut occurred on a
Friday.
Editor Dick Grubb, of the esteemed
Darien Gazette, always our friend, is
ever kind. The Gazette says:
“Ourgood friend, Mrs, Marie Louise
Myrick, continues to keep the Ameri-
cus Times-Piccordor right up with the
procession. Lots of good wishes for
both editor and paper.”
A farmer whoso residence is given as
South America, it is claimed, has dis
covered that tomato plauts will drive
away tho insects which infest other
vegetation. The enterprising gentle
man should now toll us what to plant
in the tomato fields to keep out the
pests thnt bother tomatoes.
Tho boys forgot Joe Wheeler at
Charleston. They righteously ignored
him at New Orleans. The next time
they ought to turn their backs forever
on this General and his variegated col
ors and toll tho last requiem over the
^remains of the Benedict Arnold of the
surviving bivouac of tho lost cause.
The cases of tho St. Louis bribers
are now being reversed and remanded
and it is extremely doubtful if any of
that city’s bribers or boodlers ever
seo tho inside of tho prison walls.
More than likely they will bo at liber

One vessel arriving from Hamburg
this week brought 3,903jpassengers,
mostly immigrants. During the
month the immigrants arriving at the
‘various ports of the United States
numbered 130,380. The 100 passengers
on the Mayflower never dreamed that
they were the advance gunrd of so
great a host, or that ocean navigation
had such possibilities.
The farming lands in Georgia are in
good demand by people in the North
and West who desire to settle here.
The world knows of their productive
ness and distant seekers after fertile
farms naturally look to Georgia for
what they want. The general pros
perity of the state is largely due to her
agriculture, and the people recognize
this fact. The following letter written
by Mr. W. E. Pickett, of Des Moines,
Iowa, and addressed to the State Land
Commissioner, Atlauta, has just been
received at the eapitol and illustrates
what we have said:
“Kindly inform me what one must
pay per acre for good uplands, rich
sandy loanl, with gravelly or sandy
subsoil, in northern or central Geor
gia, the lands without buildings,
either abandoned plantations or unim
proved wild lands in desirable com
munities for white men to live—not in
malarial or swampy sections, land de
sired for alfalfa growing, hogs, stock
and poultry; not too far from good
markets, and whether the state owns
such lands for sale, if so, prices and
terms, and which way one can buy to
the better advantage 100 to 1,000 acres,
from tho state or from private owners.
A map would be appreciated showing
location of lands.”
People are getting tired of the snows,
drouths, blizzards and cyclones of the
West, ami are looking for homes else
where, and many have their eyes turn
ed on Georgia, for, besides productive

lands, they can find here a favorable

and fine public schools.—Macon News.
CHANCES FOR YOUNG MEN.
Success in mercantile business is
within the reach of every young'man
who earnestly strives to win it. That
there are no ^chances for the young
man of today is nothing but talk. On
the contrary, chances are better now
than they ever were. It is true that
no young man who sits down and joins
the chorus of those who are always
complaining that lack of opportunity-
has prevented thorn from doing all
sorts of great things will ever be able
to accomplish anything. The oppor
tunity to accomplish something is al
ways there. If in no other place it is"
surely in your own brain. In other
words, if the opportunity does not pre
sent itself, make it. The young man
of today has really much better chan
ces of success than had his grandfath
ers. A good public school education
is given today to every boy, and the
foundation given him thereby is strong
and solid enough to supply any struc
ture that he may choose to put on it.
This may bo a day when “the blue
fades into gray and tho gray deepens
into the blue." But there will never
comeatimo when Gen. Joe Wheeler
can hope to stand foremost among
men who fought with Leo and Jackson
in the garb of a Fedoral brigadier.
Little Joe ought to parade with the
Grand Army of the Republic. That
seems to be the place for him now
since he has changed his colors.
Certain good women who have been
holding a convention in Buffalo, N. Y.
adopted a resolution asking the Senate
of tho United States to .exclude Reed
Smoot, the Utah Senator, from their
body. Then, to show that there is
nothing Bmall about them,they resolu-
ted to the effect that tho negroos are
treated in a way that is un-Christian
like. All of which is only interesting
and important to those who resoluted.
—Montgomery Advertiser.
Tho number of farmers in tho South
who raise enough hogs for home con
sumption is decidedly larger than it
was five years ago, but it still lacks a
great deal of being as large as it ought
to be. And tho progressive farmer
who gets into hog raising is not likely
to stop with just enough meat for homo
use; he will have some to sell. Hon,
Harvie Jordan in his practical talk on
■pork raising last Friday told our farm
ers how to bring about this advanta
geous change.
On account of a fear of microbes,
George Francis Train lias refused to
shake hands with any one for thirty-
years, and yet he is reported to be
down with smallpox. Train is now
convinced that breathing is dangerous,
but ho will handly boycott tho habit.
Boss Croker is said to be very much
in love with England and as far as we
are concerned he is welcome to buy it

Thousands of Employes Likely To Bs
Affected.
Newark, N. J., May 25.—A strike
which Is likely to affect thousands of
employes In the plants of the Edi
son General Electric company through
out the country is on at the Harrison
factory of that concern. About 2,400
hands are employed there. There are
only 40 of the strlkeis, but they are
machinists and their absence from
posts has crippled the work of the
factory. Becauso of the strike about
590 girl employes have become, Idle

cause they have nothing to do.
It is thought the strike may ext-r.c-d
to the company’s Fort Wayne factory
where there are about 500 employes:
the Lynn plant, which employs 5,000
hands, and the main works at Schenec
tady, whore the total number of em
ployes Is about 12,000, and the ma
chinists number 2,000.
The machinists in the Edison fac
tories recently affiliated themselves
with the International Association of
Machinists. Previous to the strike
the Harrison employes were receiv
ing J2.C0 for a day of ten hours. They
now demand the union wages of $2.75
for a day of nine hours. This request
the employers say they cannot grant.
