A MILLION WOMEN FARMING
IN THE UNITED STATES.
Almost a million women in the
Uuited States are either farmers
or farm laborers. Thanks to the
popularity of the homestead in
the West and to belated appre*
ciation of agriculture as a field
for woman’s industry, this num
ber is rapidly increasing.
The l. nited States, however,
has not gone so far in this respect
as England. There in the dairy
sections, women have entire con
trol of the herds, not only the
butter-making, but the milking
and feeding. In France nearly
8,000,0<X) women are engaged in
farm work; while in most of the
countries of continental, the liner
breeds of cattle are mainly the re
sult of woman’s efforts.
The 1900 census showed 456,405
women working as farm laborers
and 807,706 women farmers in
this country. The 1910 census
will undoubtedly show these
figures materially increased, while
if the plans of philanthropic eco
nomists in Massachusetts are
successful that state alone will
add one hundred thousand to the
aggregate. The Woman’s Massa
chusetts Homestead Association is
planning to provide suburban
homes for the one hundred thous
and and dependent spinisters and
widows which that commonwealth
acknowledges possessing ;the plan
being to have the state buy
tracts of land wherever available,
divide them into acre lots and
then though a commission supply
each dependent woman with a
share of land.—New Idea Wo
man’s Magazine for June.
NEW CANDIDATE ENTERS
THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR.
Covington, Ga., May 30.—Col
ouel L. L. Middlebrook, who is
serving his fifth term in the Geor
gia legislature, announces that
he is in the race for governor of
Georgia. This is a surprise in pol
itics here, as no one except
close friends had any idea that he
would make the race for governor
until his announcement.
Colonel Middlebrook is a prom
inent and well known man, hav
ing served four terms in the leg
islature, and is now serving his
fifth. He was elected to the sen
ate from this county the last time
Newton elected a senator. He is
the present brigadier general of
the North Georgia brigade, Uni
ted Confederate Veterans. He
has also served as mayor and
treasurer of the city of Coving
ton. He entered the Confederate
army when he was fifteen years
old and came out a lieutenant at
the close of the war. He is an
able attorney and also a planter.
EVER PRESENT MEASURES.
Notice is given of the introduc
tion at the next session of the
general assembly of a bill to re
peal the act creating the city court
of Ashburn, and to refer the ques
tion of the repeal to the qualified
voters of the county. Notice is
also given of a bill to amend the
act creating the Board of County
Commissioners of Turner county.
Georgia needs a uniform law
governing city and county courts,
boards of county commissioners
and the charter of municipalities.
Three-fourths of the time of the
general assembly is taken up with
Buch legislation, purely local in
its nature, which one general law
could cover. It would appear
that no sooner is the necessary
legislation passed to create a city
or county court, a board of coun
ty commissioners or incorporate a
town or city, than it becomes
necessary every year thereafter to
pass legislation amending the or
iginal acts. It seems that pe .pie
too often do not know what they
really want, and after they get it
waut something else. — fiftou Ga

EDISON’S STREET CAR.
The Edison Storage battery
9treet car, which was brought to
this city from West Orange a
month ago for tests on the Twen
j ty-eighth street crosstown line,
has completed its experimental
service.
The Twenty-eight and Twenty
ninth street croastown line of
ficials, over whose tracks the car
was operated, have been convinc
ed, and they are going to use the
curs. Sixteen of the storage bat
tery cars have been ordered upon
the showing made in the prelimi
nary tests. Besides doing what
was promised tor it in making a
day’s run on a single charge, the
car surprised even its friends by
the cost for a running mile it
maintained. Instead of the *2
cents a mile that its inventor said
it would cost, and the 10 cents
that skeptical observers expected,
it actually registered charges of
less than half a cent —of 4.3 mills,
to give the exact, figure—for its
full three weeks of steady work.
Ralph Beach, who brought the
car over,from the Edison factory,
was much pleased last night at
the prospect of turning out. the
first commercial order for the new
equipment.
“There is no city like New
York,” he said “when it conies to
taking an interest in a new idea.
Bankers and business men by the
score came to watch this car work.
And when Mr. Edison said ten
years ago that he would oneday pro
duce a storage battery that would
actually do the work, they laugh
ed at him all over the country.
“And I want to announce now
that his promise stands fulfilled,
and its genuineness lias been dem
onstrated on a transportation line
where congestion of traffic is at a
maximum, and where the difficul
ties ot making a good showing
cannot be exceeded. And a pro
phecy of Mr. Edison’s made last
January has also been fulfilled.
He told me when I came over
here with this car that “it. would
be accepted by the public as a
fact,’ and the order for sixteen
more of them demonstrates that
beyond a doubt.
“In the three weeks the exper
imental car has been making its
daily runs, it has left the car barn
at 6:30 a. m. and has stayed con
stantly m operation on crowded
streets until 8:30o’clock at night.
It has not missed a trip in the
entire period and not a single re
pair lias been necessary except
those regularly made to any street,
i car. Its regular daily running
was 66}' miles, and there was life
| enough left iti the charge at the
end of each day to run it 20 miles
farther if it had been desired.
“1 really have been surprised
myself at the low cost,: nothing
like it ever appeared on the rails
before. It consumed 853 watt,
hours a mile of electrical energy,
which translated into money val
ue means that while making four
teen cross-town trips a day load
ed with paesengers it cost I.Broil's
a running mile—less than 80 cents
for the whole day’s operation.
“The ordinary street car costs 5
cents a mile for electrical energy,
which is ten times what this car
costs, but of course the ordinary
car has a larger passenger eapa
jcity. This one was built on the
I horse-car size for the horse-car
j traffic and curves.”
Mr. Beach was asked where fie
thought the greatest saving would
make itself felt if the new car
ißhould be generally adopted here.
He answered that it would be m
eliminating the cast of the under
ground circuit. “It is a well
known fact iu traffic circles,” he
said, “that maintaining the un
derground conduit is what eats up
the diyideuds. 1 have heard that
the cost of conduit maintenance
is $15,000 per mile a year.
“Under this system there would
|be uothing to maintain but the
rails, so I would say the $15,000
a mile could be cut to SI,OOO or
less.” —New York Times.

COTTON TO BURN
STILL IN SUMTER.
Americuß,Ga , May 29.—1 n the
Aniericus district it is said that
there are still about two thousand
bales of cotton unsold.
Speaking of cotton affairs gen
erally, a party well acquainted
w ith the status of things through
out this territory, stated yester
day that his figures showed stall
in the neighborhood of two thous
and bales to be disposed of and
shipped out.
“There are, I am advised, seven
hundred bales at Richland,” said
he “and five hundred at Buena
Vista. Over at Plains there are
200 and 100 at KUaville. This
makes, 1,500 bales. Then there
are a few hundred others scatter
ed around.”
When this cotton will lie bold
and sent oil for consumption it is
hard to say. It has only been a
short time since tin* stock at
Americas was cleaned up. Any
day may bring news that anyone
of the other points has seen its
holdings taken.
Some holders of cotton still an
ticipate a rise sufficient to offset
the loss incurred by carrying s<■
long and leave a margin of addi
tional profit. But there are not
absent those who do not think
anything will be gained by the
holding the policy.
