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 zette.

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.

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. Tax liecci vim’s Notice* Third and l.ast Round.
