THE I’i.ACE TO LIVE
I have traveled o’, r this country,
in the North, and East, and West,
I have traveled, vainly looking
For a clime to suit me best,
And I’ve Come to this conclusion,
After going to and fro:
That l it spend my (lays in Dixie,
Where the sweet potatoes grow.
The West is wise and woolly,
lu the E.ist it freezes fast,
And the North is cold and chilly,
As I’ve found out in the past.
So I’ve come to this conclusion,
To avoid the cold and snow,
I’ll spend my days in Dixie
Where the sweet potatoes grow.
It is here that our Creator
Has chosen to unfurl
His noblest works of nature,
And the dear, sweet “summer girl.”
If you long to see these fairies,*
I will tell you, so you’ll know,
You can fiud them down in Dixie,
Where the sweet potatoes grow.
HERE’S “SOME HAIL.”
Butts Representative Men on the Hall
Storm Question.
Mr. W. L. Carter, of Worthvillo,
was in to see us a few days ago and
among other things the conversation
drifted on to the recent hail storm that
we had here some two weeks ago, when
Mr. Carter remarked that Mr. Judson
Robertß had told him that he saw hail
stones over at his house chat day as
large as goose eggs, and that it was one
of the heaviest hail storms he had ever
seen.
Mr. Carter also stated that it fell
very thick at his place and said that he
could have gone out into his yard after
the storm was over and gathered up a
two horse wagon body full of hail
stones. He also stated that the hail
was so large and heavy that it made
dents in the wooden railings on the
bridge over the river near Worthville
that were plainly visible several days
after the storm had passed.
We were telling Mr. E. C. Robison
of these remarkable bail stones, when
he said that he didn’t doubt it the least
as a gentleman in South Georgia had
told him once that it banked up in the
fence corners knee deep, and some of
it stayed on the ground for four or five
days where it had drifted into out of
the way places.
About this lime Mr. R. L. Daugh
tiy walked up and we consulted him
about bis ideas of hailstorms, when he
stated tiiat iu 1895 he was at Elovilla,
and sometime during that year they
had a hailstorm down there that eclips
ed anything he had ever seen or heard
of in the way of hail.
He stated that one of the hailstones
fell on the roof of the house of “Uncle
Jimmie” Maddox, and after cutting its
way through a tiu gutter went through
into the ceiling knocked a hole through
the platter and fell on the floor in the
parlor. He also stated that the' hail
was of different sizes and shapes, some
of the stones beiug Hat and almost as
large as a saucer. These are facts, as
are also the other statements made
above by Messrs. Carter, Robison,
Roberts, and Mr., Daughtry said since
he was present at this remarkable fall
of hail he wouldn’t be surprised to hear
of hail falling as large as a man’s head.
It is also stated by Mr. Daughtry that
the size of some of those hailstones
were sufficient to kill a man had they
hit him on the head, and it was re
markable that no deaths followed such
a disastrous falling of hailstones.—

HARR APPOINTED.
The Poatoflice at Jackson to Alford a
Precedent for" Action.
Washington, April 2.—A case that
will afford a precedent for action of the
present administration is the postoffice
at Jackson, in Butts county, Ga., where
W. E. Harp has been appointed to
succeed Miss Mary E. MeMichael, re
moved.
Miss McMichael’s father was appoint
ed postmaster at that place by Presi
dent Cleveland April 18, 1893, and he
resigned December 18, last, when his
daughter was appointed to succeed him.
There are a large number of post
office cases' where it is claimed the post
master resigned before his term ex
pired on the eve of a change of admin
istratiou iu order to keep the office in
the family or the same political faith,
the idea being to gain a new tenure of
four years in office. Over two score
of these cases already have come up
for consideration.
The department proposes that where
there were two appointments under the
previous administration and the last
one was made with a view of continu
ing the tenure of office in the family or
political party the case will be acted on
upon its merits. The policy of the
department, it is now stated, is to give
the four year tenure effect to the last
commission when issued to a capable
and satisfactory postmaster with such
exceptions as that outlined and similar
cases. These exceptions, however,
which are to be considered “on their
merits’’ are said to make up about oue
third of the presidential cases and near
ly half of the fourth class offices It
was added officially that where the last
administration observed the four year
rule and the incumbant is a satisfactory
officer, the question of change of per
sonnel will not be considered until the
four year tenure is over.
Tax Dodgers Big and I.lttle.
A story is going the rounds of the
Georgia press which tells how an old
man in Warren county had SB,OOO
stolen from him, and when it was dig
covered the tax collector took out SSOO
of the amouut which was due on back
taxes, the owner of the money having
held it for many years without giving
it in for taxation. The officer, we pre
sume, did his duty, but it appears to us
that this old man was made a vicarious
sacrifice for a host of tax dodgers in
Georgia. There are many men in this
state who hold back from just taxation
many times 3,000. The amount of
property that escapes taxation in Geor
gia by under valuation or concealment
aggregates many millions and it is a sad
fact that men who pretend to be hon
est in their dealings, men who stand
well in their communities, act as if it
were no sin to dodge taxation. The
truth is that every many who makes an
inadequate return of his property or
hides it from the tax gatherer swindles
the community and takes wbat belongs
to others by forcing honest taxpayers
to contribute more than their proper
share to the support of the state. We
called attention recently to the fact
that in one Georgia county where there
are more than a score of merchants not
a dollar’s worth of merchandise was
returned for taxation last year.
It is also a remarkable and shameful
fact that several thousand acres less
land was returned last year in this state
than the year before.
These are only glaring instances of
a vicious practice which we regret to
say is common iD Georgia, and we fear
it is becoming more common. Some
thing must be done to reach property
for taxation and to prevent the evasion
of the burdens of government which is
now so frequently and so boldly car
ried on.—Atlanta Journal.

Wedded iu Tree-Top.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 28. Mist*
Lizzie Swanger and Harry Bugler, her
accepted suitor, quarreled at a party
held at a neighbor’s house, near Mon
trose. Shortly before midnight they
started for their homes. They were
accompanied by the Rev. G. W r . But
ter. The party had to pass through a
field, where they were pursued by a
bull. All three took te the trees.
Miss Swaugler climbed one tree and
Bangler and the minister the adjoining
tree. The infuriated bull ran around
and around the trees, bellowing aud
throwing the earth in the air. The
party remained in the trees nearly an
hour aud no relief came. The bull still
stood guard.
Thinking this au excellent time to
reconcile the couple, the minister be
gan. His work was done, however,
almost before he had begun. The
couple agreed to be married then and
there, tbiukiug they were about to meet
a tragic death. Bangler bad a license
in his pocket for several weeks. The
lovers could just join hands from where
they clung, but got a grip aud held it
while Mr. Hunter performed the cere
mony.
When the good man had concluded,
Farmer Stone and his two boys drove
up with a load of ice. An explanation
was hastily made, the steer was driven
away, the preacher kissed the bride and
received his fee and the party were
driven to the residence of Mr. Rangier.
“I feel it my duty to give you a
truthful statement of what Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera aud Diarrhoea
Remedy did,” writes J. S. Collins, of
Moore, S. C., “I had a child about two
years old, that had the diarrhoea for
two months. I tried all the best known
remedies, but none gave the least re
lief. When this remedy came to baud,
I gave it as directed, aud in two days
the child was completely cured.” Sold

Oranges $1 Each.
Over the non de jj Y”',Tardif, the
following appeared in tbe’ New York
Times:
The selling price of a single luxury
in the new mining metropolis of Circle
City, Alaska, is an interesting bit of
information obtained from a letter of a
commission merchant of the state of
Washington received to day- He
writes:
“We recently shipped some Colifor
nia oranges to Sitk , Alaska, and from
there they were sent to St. Michaels,
and thence two thousand miles up the
Yukon river to Circle City, Alaska,
where they were sold for Si 50 per box
containing 150 oranges, or $1 for each
orange. I think this must be the high
est price ever paid for oranges.”
Drives a Cow in Harness.
In Springfie'd, Ohio, there lives a
venerable citizen who is known as
Father Danforth, the crusader. Re
cently be has taken to driving a cow in
harness, says the Cincinnati Post.
Father Danforth is quite a character
and he is always given a hearty wel
come wherever be goes. His horse
died some time ago, and he thought he
would try hitching up a cow. The an
imal took to haruees good naturedly,
and soon became manageable with
the bridle. It can now be driven any
where as easily as a horse. Danforth
tried an older cow in harness, and met
with success and afterwards he alterna
ted. He milks both cows and sells the
milk, establishing what is known as
“The White Saloon.”
Danforth also conceived the idea that
leaves could be utilized as food for
cows, and he has been feeding them
right along. He has recently estab
lished a business where leaves are
handled and baled for sale.
The two year old son of W. L. Fur
gason, of Bolton, Miss., had whooping
cough. “After several physiciaus had

ABOUT FERTILIZERS.
Inspector Shell Hives ns a Few Dots
on tile Subject.
Mr. W. S. Shell, the clever aud so
ciable inspector of fertilizers for this
district of Georgia, dropped iu aud
subscribed for The Times yesterday
(Thursday) afternoon. Mr. Shell is
au interesting talker as well as a faith
ful servant, of the state aud during his
conversation he took occasion to say
that it is his opinion that the farmers
of this section are preparing to plaut a
much larger acreage iu cotton this year
lhau they have doue for the past live
seasons if the increased amouut of fer
tilizers now being received hy the gua
no dealers are anything to judge from.
He says that more fertilizers are now
in the hands of the dealers than was
in stock at the beginning of the season
last year, and he is iu a position to
know that up to the preaeut time the
sales of fertilizers are largely iu ad
vance of those of last season.
Mr. Shell is one of the pleasautest
gentlemen we have ever met, and the
agricultural department hasn’t a more
faithful servant in its employ than this
clever gentleman.—Jackson Times.
Money iu Cows.
Here is food for reflection. A Win
dom farmer says that upon looking
over his books at the end of the year
’9O he found that his eight cows have
been the most profitable of any stoca
on his faun. From the eight cows he
delivered to the Bingham Lake cream
ery during the year 20,949 lbs of milk
which made $201.60 worth of butter.
He also sold seven veal calves for
$47.12 aud taking iuto consideration
the skimmed milk at ten cents per hun
dred pounds, which is a low estimate,
would add $59 94, making a total iu
come from eight cows $359.81, an
average sf 44 95, which he thinks is
doing well, as butter only averaged a
little ove 13c a pound during the year
and as ho has not taken into considera
tion the milk used at homo.
The Saw.
Pliny says that the saw was first in
vented by Daedalus, but, according to
Apollodorus, it was the invention of
Talus, who used the jawbone of a croco
dile to cut through a piece of wood and
then made an iron instrument in imita
tion of it. The saw is represented on
the mouumeuts of Egypt from 2500 to
3000 B. C. As early as A. D. 1322
sawmills driven by water power were
in operation at Augsburg, and, it is be
lieved, before ibis they were in opera
tion iu Paris, driven by the current of
the Seine. The first sawmill erected in
the Norway pineries was in 1530. Saw
mills were numerous iu Italy iu the
sixteenth century. They were not in
troduced into England until 1603, when
a native of Holland built one, but was
compelled to abondon it by the ooposi
tion of the populace, carpouters aud
other artisans, who saw no good m such
a new fangled contrivance.
While Doss Peek was plowing near
Kichlaud last week, near an old well
that he thought was tilled up, bis horse
slipped in it backwards and fell fifty
feet to the bottom. He secured a rope
and went down and found the horse
unhurt. The well had caved in at the
bottom and the animal had good stand
ing room. Peek watered and fed him
unlil next day, when he secured help,
and by digging down one side of the
well led his horse out and hitched him
to the plow as if nothing bad happen
ed.
Ouc of the severest yet happiest
things ever said by .fudge Henry on
the bench was spoken last week. A
lawyer, to capture the jury, was prais
ing Georgia. He wouud up his high
est flight of eloquence with the utter
ance, “1 am Georgia bred.” Just as
be closed there came a loud bray from
a longeated donkey on the square.
The approving comment of the Judge,
as the resounding noise filled the room,
was: “Another Georgian heard from,”
Neatly Stated.
Hither a neat way of stating an awk
ward fact was adopted by a recent ap
plicant for a pension. The applicant

that way. “I received my wound,”
he said, “while marching rapidly in
front of the enemy.”

Hi !u- /}
HOW HE STRUCK LUCK.
“You Ixicatn a Mine or You’re no Bus
hand of Mine.”
It ain’t no use sayiu’ folks get their
deserts au’ no more atiaway, iu this
world. The most good for uothiu’ are
the ones that stay on top, aud some
hardworkiu’, honest devil is sure to be
at the bottom, with everybody trampin’
on him. Most everything’s just luck.
What made me thiuk of it just now,
ma’ma, was lookiu’ at Pete Garber’s
big house there on the hill. His wife
just passed in her carriage an’ spoke to
mo. She’s one good fortune cau’t
spoil I bet she remembers as well as
ldo the days when sho doue up my
shirts. Yes, ma’ma, that woman used
to take in washin’ to get Hour au’ ba
con to feed Pete au’ the four young
ones. She worked like a horse. There
wasn’t a man on the river didn’t feel
sorry for her—a go-ahead woman tied
to a lout like lazy Pete.
He’s just as lazy now as he was then,
hut he’s smart euough to put his mon
ey whero it’s safe.
They lived down on the crick a few
miles in a little clapboard shanty with
a mud au’ rock chiuibly, au’, as I told
you, she washed for the livin’. Pete
didu’t care how the flour au’ bacon
come, aB long’s it did come, an’ she’d
been washin’ to this day if she hadn’t
got mad, au’ if Pete hadn’t had luck.
Course she was a better class woman
than be was a man, but she’d married
him aud she’d stick to him. They say
women don’t believe in doin’ that now
adays, but they did then, an’ 1 guess
the woman was pretty good goods.
Well, children were growiu’ an’
wearin’ out lots of shoes an’ pants an’
things, au’ she was weariu’ out herself
an’ oue day she got mad. There was
a big boom that time; quartz strikes
were common, an’ folks were taking up
miniu’ lands all over the hills. I guess
she got to thinkin’ about it an’ how
shiftless Pete was, an’ Bhe was tired
an’ there was Pete lollin’ an’ smokin’
his pipe. She went out to him and she
laid down the law to him in great shape;
she wasn’t goin’ to slave no longer, an’
he could get up and hustle. She order
ed him to start out prospectin’ that
very morning aud to not come home
till he had located a mine.
Pete was all knocked iu a heap. It
was as if the old tabby cat had jumped
up and clawed him in the face. He
was too lazy, though to fight back, so
be took his tools an' started out. lie
slouched up the hill for maybe half a
mile an’ then he sat uuder a big shady
troe. It was the only tree of size for
a long stretch, and the mornin’ was
awful warm, an’ Pete was tired—born
so you kuow,
lie sprawled there au’ smoked till
the shadow of the tree crawled away
from him, aud then be crawled into it
again. This exertion made him think
of his wife and what he had come out
for, an’ how he did hate to get up. So
be thinks to himnelf that he’ll stake a
claim right there in the shade an’ then
go home an’ get a bite to eat.
Now, here the luck comes in. Lay
mg there on bis side, picking away at
the ground, without thinkin’ a thing
about what be was doing, that chap
struck a vein of quartz just bulgy with
gold, an’ no trouble at all to work.
He did get up steam enough to make
pretty good time staking it and getting
it recorded, though I guess it was his
wife’s head that managed it an’ made
it public. Soon’s it got out there was
a big company wanted to buy it out for
more money than Pete would be willin’
to count, hut bis wife wouldn’t let him
sell it all. They fixed themselves up
for life with the price of half an’ they
are makin’ money hand over fist out
of the other half.
No; Pete he don’t do nothing but
sprawl and smoke same’s ever, only
now he sprawls in his own carriage and
smokes imported cigars. He’d be
stuck up if he wasn’t too lazy to put on
airs for more than a minute or so at a
time.
Hut his wife, she’s a sensible woman.
She’s seein’ that the kids have good
schoolin’ an’ raising an’ she don’t for
get folks that’s down on their luck. I
I guess we dou’t none of us begrudge
her money, or Pete, either, for that
matter, only it does seem as if being a
rustler don’t count for much against
such blind luck as Pete’s.—Sau Fran

Drowned In Yellow River.
On Friday last as some gypsies were
attempting to cross Yellow river, at
Wood’s bridge, a mule and buggy were
washed off the bridge, and the mule
was drowned.
It seems that a woman was in the
buggy, driving the mule and the water
being over the bridge, the mule and
buggy wore carried over by the swift
current, and the mule drowned.
The woman jumped out of the buggy
before it was carried off the bridge, and
escaped drowning.
The mulo and buggy were carried
rapidly dowu by the current for some
distance, when the buggy became
hitched to something in the water, and
the mule managed to keep its head
out of the water until the man who
owned it, rushed iuto the stream and
tried to get it loose from the buggy
but failed, and it was drowned.
The buggy and some packages of
goods that were in it were saved but
the man and woman claim they lost
*lO or SSO in gold, which was in the
buggy.—Covington Star.
