George F. Gober, superior court judge of Blue Ridge circuit, is on the road to being (he “peach king” of America. In fact he is so far along the road that it will take but a year or two more of liis present energy to put lum there. His orchards are scattered through a series ot counties along a stretch of 50 miles and most every month in the year lie takes the title to a new orchard. Where he lias not bought, he has planted and always along a well defined plan. He is an enthusiastic lover of trees and the Elbertas in par ticular. As a judge he lias been fearless and as a fruit grower equally daring. — The Chicago Packer.

Tin law | ('<1 by congn 1 It repealing thei damp 1 1 MIX. imposed to defrn the *** war with Spain, will go mto offer m July 1 st. less thai a month off, and after that, time the public will not be troubled with placing stamps on every imaginable sort of thing, druggists and cigar dealers can cut down their prices for their articles ns a result of t in* reduc ion. On July 1 st taxes on the com mercial brok eri will no longer have to be paid. Stamps will no longer have to Ik* placed on bank checks, drafts and orders for the payment of money tit sight or on demand, certificates of deposit, postofllce money orders, promis SI 1 ry notes, mortgages, leases, ex port bills of lading, manifests for custom house entry, powers of attorney, charter parties, protests certificates of all kinds, except certificates of profit or showing interest in property or accutnula tion of companies, warehouse re eeipts, telegraphic dispatches, ex press receipts, policies of insur ance taxes of telephone massage, all proprietary medicines, cos metics, perfumes, chewing gum, except wino. Taxes will be reduced on July 1st'on conveyances of real estate, passage tickets, cigars, snuff, fer mented liquors, foreign bills of exchange and foreign money ord ers. The removal of these stamps and the reduction of the faxes will menu a loss to the govern ment of about $ 41 ) 0,000 each year for the state of Georgia alone. The removal of the stamp tax, however, will lie hailed with tie light by the public, as t he burden while it may not 1m heavy, has I.i0(»n a great, deal of trouble. The government will redeem stamps held by people after July 1st and tlie banks which have had t he revenue stamp engraved on t heir checks can also have them redeemed.

This J ’.ya that the ,1 1 Others wire the \V( r-'.eg <f cot toil, the cultivation i.f l:*di::.': ( ::i a d ihe use of totnieeo.

Then Into larger wooden trough - full of the sap redhot stones were thrown, Just as In old times they used to be thrown Into the water in which food was boiled, and by constantly throwing in hot stones and taking out those that had become cool the sap was boiled and evaporated, and at length sirup was made, which later became sugar. This manufacture of the sugar was not confined to any one tribe, but was practiced by all northern Indians and was known to those living as far south ns Florida and Texas. Among the sugar making tribes a special festival was held, which was called the maple dance, which was undoubtedly a re ligious festival in the nature of a prayer or propitiatory ceremony, ask ing for an abundant flow of sap and for good fortune In collecting It. Among many if not all the Indians Inhabiting the northern United States maple sugar was not merely a luxury, something eaten because It was tooth some, but was actually an Important part of their support. Mixed with pounded, parched corn, it was put up in small quantities and was a concen trated form of nutriment not much less valuable in respect to its quality of support than the pemmican which was used almost down to our own times. Among all the older writers who had much familiarity with the customs of the Indians accounts are given of the manufacture of sugar, and this custom was so general that among many trlbes<tbe mouth in which the sap ran best was called the sugar month. By thp Iroquois the name Ratirontaks, iKjbuqfiln leaning tree tribes, eaters, and was nppiied eminent to the an au thority, Dr. Briuton, has suggested tii.at they were probably “so called from their love of the product of the shgar maple.” On the other hand, A. F. Chamberlain has very plausibly said "that it is hardly likely that the Iroquois distinguished other tribes by tliis term, if its origin be as suggested, since they themselves wore sugar mak ers and eaters.” A more probable origin of the word is that given by Schoolcraft, in substance as follows: •‘Katirontaks, whence Adi rondacks, was applied chiefly to the Montngnais tribes, north of the St. Lawrence, and was a derisive term in dicating a well known habit of these tribes of eating the inner bark of trees fir winter when food was scarce or when on war excursions.” This habit of eating the inner bark of trees was, as is well known, common to ninny Tribes of Indians, both those who Inhabit the country where the sug ar maple grows and also those In other parts' of the country where the maple is unknown. On the western prairies sugar was made also from the box elder, which trees were tapped by the Indians and the sap boiled down for sugar, and to day the Cheyenne Indians tell us that It was from tills tree that they derived all the sugar that they had until the arrival of the white man on the plains something more than 50 years ago. It is interesting to observe that in many tribes today the word for sugar is precisely the word which they ap plied to the product of the maple tree before they knew the white man’s sug ar. It is Interesting also to see that among many tribes the general terra for sugar means wood or free water— that is to say, tree sap. This is true of the Omahas and Poncas, according to J. O. Dorsey, and also of the Kansas, Osage and Iowa, Winnebago, Tusearo ra and Pawnee. The Cheyennes, on the other hand, call it box elder water. A. F. Chamberlain, who hau gone with great care into the question of the meaning of fhe words which designate the maple tree and its product, is dis posed to believe that the name of the maple means the tree—In other words, the real or actual tree or the tree which stands above all others.—Forest and gtream.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. “Something New Under The San.” A 11 Doctors have tried to cure CATARRAII by the use of powders, acid, gases, inbalers and drugs in pasie form.

An old and ex perienced praetioner who has for rnanv years made a close study and specialty of the treatment of CA TARRH, has at last perfected a Treatment which when faith'mly used, not only relieves at once, but perrnantly cures CATARRH, by re moving the cause, stopping the di chat ges, and curing all inflamation.
