WL - B FARMERS ARE DEVOTING TOO LITTLE ATTENTION§TO POULTRY. o xcessive Charge caused by Falling Off u Production. An Opportunity Neg- ; lected by the Farmers. { }'rom the present indications the hens of the country have abandoned} cee coinage and adopted the gold tanjard system of doing busine:?s with the people in the future. This Jopular product of the barnyard is ow bringing the unusually fancy rice of 50 cents & dozen, and the deal r will not quote prices for future de ivery, as they do not know what eggs vill bring later on,says an Atlantadis atch. The Georgia and Tennessee roduct is bringing the same price, ithough the Tennessee €gg is more | n demand than the Georgia, due toi b fact that it is generally of a larg- | r yariety, and in consequence is more go for the same money . The commission men when asked the eason for the heavy advaoce in the rice of eggs cap giv: no reason uo es3 it be that the country people are | ot paying any atteotion to the! indus- | ry. They say there is no good reason vhy they should sell for more than 15 ents a dozen; that this would be a rood average price. They regard 30 ents as absolutely unreasonable for he necessaries to a breakfast table, | nd that good money should be made ¢ half the pricc now paid for them. A dealer, in commenting upon the rice at which eggs are selling today, aid: ““Just think of it; this is 24 cents n egg. Twoof them will pay for aI ard of calico, and two dozen of them jill pay for a dress, and leave a w r-l in tor the buttons and thread. I(gw | hy can't the girls living in t,hel ountry sell enough}] eggsj from a ouple of dozen hens to, clothe them- l elves comfortably the year round and | ave a little -pocket change left? It oks to me as if they could do this ery easily, and have a few chickuns‘ » sell besides. “At present prices eggs are like old uuggets, and sometime they are s hard to get. If it was not for Ten essee [do not know what we would o tosupply our customers, even at ncy prices that they now bring. nly the rich can stand these figures, nd the poor have to get along with- ( ut them., I think the trouble must e with the farmers and not with the <ns, as | feel satisfied that the feath red tribe would do their part if prop r encouragment was given them in 1e way of feed and attention. “Poultry must have food and arange relse they will not produce, and’ hen they are poorly provided for the :sults will be anything but satisfac ryv. Sound eggs are like sound | oney. They are gnod for their face alue in any market throughout the i days in the year, and the market r them is never congested. This be ¢ 80, there is no danger of a ¢lutted arket. All the eggs shipped to At nta can be sold to good advantage at ny season of the year.” ( LL THERE BUT FOOL KILLER og Buried With Imposing and Expensive Ceremony.

' The senate was enlivened a few days ago by a speech on the Philipines by ‘ Mr. Hoar ofjMassachusetts, who spoke on his resolution providing for the ap pointment of a senate committee to in vestigate «the administration of those islands. Among other things he said: “T do not know of any one able to give a statement of the truth as to the differences between Governor Taft and General Chuffee I get some dreadful stories from soldiers and officers of high rank of the manner in which the war is carried on. I bave heard of an investigation now going on in regard to one transaction, which if true, has covered with a foul blot the flag which we all love and honor. I think there should be a place where any senator who makes such a suggestionin his official responsibility can go ani say, ‘T want two witnesses on that subject brought here, and then we shall know.’ ”’ He said he had been taunted hy newspapers for three or four yaars with a statement attributed to Geperal Lawton to the effect that if certain i people at home would hold their tongues there woull not be any diffi culty with the islands. But what the general is understood to have said was that we should ‘‘stop this accursed war; it is time for diplomacy, time for mutual understandings.”’ ‘ General Otis had shocked the coun try by sayinz that we should keep} 40,000 troops in the Philippines for a considerable lengthof time, but in-‘ stead of that number we have 70,000, and Mr. Hoar asked how long were we. g)ing to keep them there. 1 SEABQARD TO EUFAULA. Citizens of Alabama Town Want Connection. Americus may soon be put in closer touch with Eufaula and southeast Ala bama by a shortline connectiog that city with the Seaboard Air Line at or near Lumpkin. It is reported here that the citizens of Enfaulaare very much in earnest about building this connecting link, which will be only twenty-seven miles 1n length and, tra versing a “perfectly level country, could be constructed at minimum cost. The link would probably touch the ma.nline near the river bridge, thus obviating building across the Chatta hoochee. Kufaula has her eyes still fixed upon the Brunswick and DBir mingham railway, and a subscription of sBo,ooois all ready for the road should it go in that direction.—Ameri cus Times-Recorder. HORSE AND BUGGY BURN. Peculiar Accident Which Happen ed on a Hunting Trip. Sunday six gentiemen from Macon hired three teams from Mr. S.J. W. Livingston and went to Newton ona hunting trip. Mr. Livingston learned through a man who came up from Newton this morning that one of the teams had been burned up. Two gentlemen who were hunting in it tied the horse in the woods near a log pile and went off some distance shooting. They were gone some time, and when they return ed they found that tt e woods had bucn ed. The buggy was burnedto ashesand the horse was so badly burned that he could not move, and was not expect ed to live.—Albany Herald. HOTEL KEEPER ASSAULTED. Desperate Encounter With a Discharged Employe in Columbus. A Columbus svecial says: Alex Reid, one of the proprietors of the Rankin House. had guite a narrow escape in the billiard room of the hotel tonight. He was approached by Emery Jeff erson, Jr., a young man formerly in his employ at the bar, who had been discharged and who was smarting with anger at losing his position. Itis said that he applied a vile epithet to Mr. Reid who knocked him down. As he fell the young man drew his pistol and in the desperate scuffie that followed fired at Mr. Reid twice. One of the shots was fired with the pistol so close to Mr. Reid’s neck that the lapel of his coat was scorched. It was rather remarkable that neither shot toorr effect and ueither one of the ',men was injured. i Stepped Into Live Coals. “When a child I burned my foot \frighu‘ully,” writes W. H.

TWO CENTRAL TRIANS GO TOGETHER. ; The west bound passenger train over the Central railroad due in Daw son at 3:25 o’clock p. in. was two hours latc Wednesday afternoon, cansed by ‘the collision of two freight trains that morning at Echeconnee, sixteen miles this side of Macon. The trains were the regular through southbound and an extra northbound. The regular train was in charge of Engineer Hughes and Conductor Mar tin. Engineer Hughes was sligbtly injured in jumping from his engine, complaining after the collision of his neck being stitf. The conductor and others on the train were badly shaken up, but none seriously injured. The northbound train was in charge of Engineer Patterson and Conductor Latham. KEngineer Patterson sprain SHOT BY HIS COUSIN. Boy Perhaps Fatally Wounded in Cuthbert. A Cuthbert epecial says Master Robvert Crozier, was painfully hurt a few days ago, and it may cost him his life. He was at the home of his cous in, Emmett Stanford, for dinner. Youung Stanford while handling a parlor rifle, shooting a number one cartridge, accidently discharged the same. The ball struck young Crozier on the nose, lodging in the head, rang ing near the eye and brain. He be came uuconscious at once, aund one side became partially paralyzed.

THE POPULIST PARTY. Mark Twain’s Cousin Writes It’s Obituary. G. C. Clemens, a cousin of Mark Twain, and one of the founders of the populist partv in Kansas, publishes a letter in which he declares the party is dead. He says: “] stayed with the people’s party till I saw the last nail driven in its coffin by the identical ones of convention folk who are determined to soil their shoes by walking in the middle of the road and pretending to be a picnic ex cursion instead of a funeral procession. The party is dead. 'The people now seeking to persuade it to oit up in its coffin and disturb the well-intentioned people invited to the funeral were its assassins. “It should refuse to let them use it for their own political ends, and, like a decorous corps, should allow the ob sequies to proceed. Some populist are repablicans, some are democrats, some are and always have been prohibition ists first ana populists afterwards, and some are socialists. Let each seek his own political home, and thus compel the party wreckers to do likewise. As for me this year I belong to no political party. 1 am anti-Pharisee, and shall line up to make the Phari sees let go this state. I have no in clination at this time to fool with a political cadaver that was picked up two vears ago."”’ PRESERVED IN A GLASS CASE. Tke Fish Which Caused the Arrest of Ex-President Cleveland. Last fall ex-President Cleveland and Dr. Bryant went fishing at Monterey, a smalll town in Massachusetts. When they rowed ashore a game warden found an undersized bass in the boat and immediately placed boch of the gentlemen under arrest for violating the game law of the state. Mr. Cleye land claimed that he had caught the fish, and was therefore responsible. Dr. Bryant was equaliy positive that he was the law breaker, and insisted upon paying the fine. The matter was finally compromised by permitting a third party, a farmer who had been with the distinguished fishmermen, to settle with the law. The farmer be ing well compensated, did no abject to the arrangement. The fish thus brought into notoriety has been pre served and mounted, and now rests in a glass case in the office of the fish and game commission in the Massachusetts state house, where it bids fair to be come a rival to the sacred codfish thav adorns the Massachusetts house of representatives. Frank Treadwell, Bennett, la., was troubled with kidney disease for two years. He writes: “] have taken sev eral kinds of kidney remedies. but ‘with little benefit. Finally I tried ’Foley’s Kidney Cure, and a one dollar lbobtle cured me. . ; ; DAvVIDSON & KENDRICK. ed his knee in jumping from his en gine, but the conductor was not hurt. A negro hand was pretty badly bruis ed and cut. Both engines are pretty badly de molished. and a car loaded with knit goods and a car loaded with coal were wrecked. The tenders of both en gines were completelv wrecked, and the cab of one of the trains badly smashed up. From the best information to be gathered it seems that the delay in re porting the southbound train, on the part of operator Morris of Echeconnee, caused the wreck. Mr. Morris clear ed the southbound train and failed to report the matter to the operator at Byronimmediately. When he did re port it was after the northbound train had left Byron. RUMORED RAILROAD DEAL. Fitzgerald Hears That the B. & B. Has Sold Out. A Fitzgerald special says: Rumor to the effect that the Atlantic and Bir mingham, formerly the Waycross Air Line, bas purchased the famous Bruns wick and Birmingham railroad is all the talk here. Vice-president and general manager George Dole Wadley and general freight and passenger agent H.C. McFadden of the Atlantic and Birmingham are here, and when asked about the deal informed your correspondent that they knew nothing about it. Itis known here, however, in railroad circles that there is some talk of the Atlantic and Birmingham building from a point on their line at or near Beach, about :twenty miles from Waycross, in a direction toward i Brunswick, the objective point, as ru mor goes, making a connection with the Brunswick and Birmingham. MILLIONS FOR CORDELE MAN, Assured That He Is Heir to Great Estate in Sweden. Mr. F. N.

Cave and Co., the larg:st ‘ planters in the state of South Carolina, with headquarters at Barnesvillie, sev eral days ago closed a deal through Brobsten, Fending & Co. for the lease of the Dover Hall property, the fa mous old-time plantation now owned by G. W. Wright, and will at once ship a carload of mules here, large quanti ties of supplies and about 50 families to go extensively into the watermelon and cantaloupe raising business. They will haye three hundred acres under cultivation before the present week ends, and will add to that as rapidly as their many hands can get into shape. This news, coming on top of the an nouncement two days ago, that the German peasant colonists from the Russian townships were beginning to arrive and were building their homes and laying off their lands for truck furming cultivation, gives the farm-‘ ing industry of Glynn county a tre mendous impetus all at once. ‘ A REMARKABLE MAN, Never Tasted Tobacco, Smoked a Cigar or Ate Chicken Meat. Perhaps not a more remarkable manj lives in the United States than Mr, J. C. Kirkland at Homerville, in Clinch,l county, 31ys the correspondeat of the Savannah Morning Newsiof that place, He was born on a little farm in Ap pling county, in this state, 78 years ago. He went through two wars, and did noble work asa private in both. The first was with the Seminole In dians in 1838, for which he 1s now drawing a pension from the govern ment. The other was the war be tween the states. Clinch county was organized in 1850, and he was the first clerk of the supe rior court. Some of his most remarkable habits ‘are: he has never smoked a cigar or pipe, or taken a chew of tobacco in his life: never has taken a mouthful of chicken, and but little, if any, of any other fowl; never had occasion to take a single dose of any kind of medicine; never used glasses and can reard any print, and today is hale and hearty, Itull of life and cheerful reminiscences. NOT AN EDITOR THERE. Plenty of Preachers and Lawyers in the Penitentiary. An excerpt from the Prison Mirror, published in the Minnessota peniten tiary, reads as follows: “Why is it that from the first ‘ncep tion of our paper until the present time we have not bad an editor sojourn in our midst ? .Other professions have been well represented. Of preachers we have had enough to furnish suab sistence for an African chief for a year; doctors enough to depopulate a state; lawyers enough to start a small sized colony in Hades, but no editors —not a single one.” This is the evidence that will hush an appall those who traduce the rep resentatives of the fourth estate, and yet mean enough to go next door to borrow a newspaper rather than pay the price of it. A TOWN OF NEGROES. Place in Florida Entirely Inhabited by 400 of Them. A Waycross special says: Just one and a quarter miles from the town of ‘Bartow, Fla., vyour correspoadent, while there, came to a little town in one of the oak thickets of Polk county inhabited entirely by colored people. There are about sixty families of negroes with a population of possibly 400. They have their school, chur ches and town officers, and run all of their affairs independent of their white neighbors. This town was es tablished nearly twenty-five years ago by an enterprising colored man. who secured a tract of land and sub-divided it into residence lots, selling off lots to those of his own race. The men earn a livelihood by working at the phos phate mines and in the town of Bar tow, while the women act as servants and washerwomen for the people of Bartow. The town is known as Britts ville, it having been established by a man named Britt. W. L. Yancy, Paducah, Ky., writes: “] had a severe case of kidney disease and three of the best physicians in southern Kentueky treated me without success. 1 waswinduced to try Foley’s Kidney Cure. The first bottle gave immediate relief and three bottles cured me permanently. I gladly rec ommend this wonderful remedy.” Take no substitute. | DAvVIDSON & KENDRICK.

Romance That Began 70 Years Ago. Seventy years ago Edith Simpson and Joshua Lamacreaux were children together attending the Lamaoreaux school house at Cease’s Mills, Penn. I is related that the little ones were constant companions; that this friend 'ship ripened intolove as they grew up, and it was no surprise to the people thereabouts when they heard of their, marriage. She was then 18 and he }t,wo yeurs her senior. ~ He began farming and for 60 years conducted one of the most prosperous farms in that vicinity., It was their boast that the couple bad vever been separated from each other more than four hours at the time. They had no children and worked the farm togeth er. When the husband went to town to sell his produce his helpmate was always with him. A year ago the aged wife died, and since then the husband has been disconsolate. He refused to be consoled and the work on the farm ceased. Daily the grief-stricken husband vis ited the cemetery and prayed over his wife’s graye. His thoughts were all | there. He carried his meals with him, and as he prayed dined. Some of the people who owned plots in the ceme tery asked the authorities tostop Mr. Lamaoreaux from this practice, but he was not interefered with. He stated that as the graveyard has been named after his father he should at least be given the privilege of dining there. He said that if he capnot have his wife by his side at meal time he can at least, join her spiritually at the grave But now itis feared that the end is near. larly one morning last ; week the man was found in a half froz ‘en condition on his wife’s grave. He was removed toa nearby farmhouse. Owing to his great age and the manner in which he exposed himself 1n all kinds of weather it is thought he can not rally. NOVEL POLITICAL MEETING. Politics in Jersey to Be Revolu tionized by Democrats. There is a plan to leorganize the democratic party of Gloucester county, sayvs a Woodbury, N. J., dispatch, which if carried out to eonform wath the idea of J. T. Sicker, vice chairman of the democratic county executive committee, will revolutionize politics here. Mr. Siekler’s secheme is indors ed by Chairman Carpenter Mr. Sickler says: “We have 150 democrats here who will give . $lO apiece. making a funa of $51,000 to start with.” His idea is to procure a site and establish a new church and get, an up to date minister whois liber al in his ideas, a live board of trustees and a choirmaster who should have instruction to bar longmetre tunes. All this, he adds, would be conducive to catching non-church goers. ~ He favors the furnishing of a room with a carpet, easy chairs, billiard and pool tables, and make it a home for the people. ‘‘Nosach place exists today,’’ he adds. In closing he says: +With this organization a convention would be held; a candidate would go into the ficht knowing he was sure of assistance, and reiieved of so much of the work he today has to personally look after.” SOUTH SHOWS INCREASE. Census Report on Sectional Popu lation. Gaining on the North. The director of the census announces the percentage of increase of popula tion in different parts of the country, showing for the last deecade a rapid de crease from the preyious rate of growth of population in the west, a less mark ed but decided decrease in the north, and a slight increase in the south. For the first time in the history of this country the population of the south has increased somewhat more rapidly than that of the north. The east geographically is ineluded in the term porth. The rate of growth in the porth, west and south is far more nearly the same than it ever has been. Don’t Live Together. Constipatior and health never go together.
