The Insect Has Always Been Here and Will Stay as Long as Cot ton Grows, He Declares. - A zentleman who has been interest ed in the production of cotton and its subsevuent usages for over sixty years and who is now president of the larg st cotton mill in Georgia, capitalized at one million dollars, in a recent in erview with a representative of the Macon Telegraph said apropos the 01l weevil situation: “This talk of the so-called boll wee ilis all foolishness.

A bride in a $40,000 wedding dress rather takes the gimp out of the aver age society girl's gorgeousness, but when the daughter of the sultan mar ries there's nothing mean about her bridal attire, and this was the costly wedding dress prepared by two ‘‘milli ners’’ in the Yildiz Klosk. It was sewn thick with real pearls, and the operation watched over by an officer and two soldiers to insure the ‘‘milli ners’’ from swallowing any of the pearls. It is presumed the bride was elated by the idea of wearing a 340,- 000 dress; more so perhaps than her elderly husband, who may find it diffi cult to supply his wife with clothes of this gorgeous standard when the housekeeping expenses weigh hard up on him. At present the happy couple can pick off a pearl or two if in need and exchange them at papa’s ex chequer for ready cash and never feel the loss. . SMITH DOES NOT RANK STATE. Other Farmers in Georgia Beat Him Raising Big Crops. The papers of the state generally have noted the sale of Hon. James M. Smith's crop of cotton ‘amounting to 2,100 bales, which netted him R 75,000. But Mr. Smith, while a successful farmer, is not the greatest ¢rop pro ducer in Georgia. There is one over in Dougherty county, Mr. F. F. Put ney, who raised last year a crop of cotton which netted him $140,000 or nearly twice the amount realized last week by Mr. Smith in the sale of his bales. And Mr. Putney is not an all cotton farmer. He has large herds of cattle and hogs and raises grain and an abundance of food erops. Only a few weeks ago he sold 100 beef cattle to W. W. Rawlins, the butcher of Albary, and his last year's hay crop—mostly peavine -Wwas something enormous. BABY WITH ELEPHANT'S SNOUT e Protuberance Several inches Long on Top of Child’s Head. Last Saturday in Center, near Ath ens, there was born a boy child per fectly formed except that out of the top of the child’s head there came a protuberance about an inch in diame ter and several inches long. a perfect representation of the snout of ~an ele phant. People from 1l around that section have been to sce the curious freak. The attendiny physician says the growth is directly connected with the brain of the child and tha. the child will die. g & 1 DAWSON, GA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1905. At Special Meeting of State Board of Entomology Busi ness of Vital Importance Was Transacted. Grain Shipments into Georgia from Texas Allowed. The Telegraph says the Georgia state board of entomology has met in Macon and decided that there was no longer any use for the regulation that has been in existence relative to the boll weevil quarantine. The action of the board in abolish ing the quarantine regulation will make it lawful for commission men and farmers living in Louisiana and Texas to make shipments to the state of Georgia of threshed wheat, shelled corn and cow peas at any time of the year. Heretofore the regulations cov ering this point allowed the shipment of sucn articles into Georgia during the months of July, August and Sep tember only. ,TOH.\'ADO KILLED TWENTY-SIX, Kansas Town a Sufferer from a Most } Fearful Storm.’ . | A Marquette, Kan., dispatch says: ' When darkness fell upon this town to night it was known that twenty-six lives had been lost in the tornado that wrecked part of Marquette early Mon day morning and did much damage to this vicinity, and that forty-four per isons had been injured. | Of the injured thirty-five were seri ‘ously hurt and some of them may. die. During the day two victims died of their injuries. Several of the others are suffering from broken iimbs and internal injuries. In several cases entire families have been killed. Tonight order had practically been brought out of the chaotic condition that has prevailed, and a relief com mittee had begun dispensing aid.” | The tornado struck the southern end of the town and cut a clean swath 100 yards in width through its entire length. Coming as it did at midnight, all the people were caught without a moment's warning. A heavy rain storm had preceded the wind. " When daylight broke over the town it found the entire population in a state of panic. Business was entirely suspended and every one whe escaped injury turned his .\inttention toward aiding the injured. Sk 1 Refuses to Play Goat. ' Uncle Tobe Stevens refuses ‘to play roat to Harvie Jordan's Robinson Crusoe show. And Gas- JOU blame ' him?— Brunswick J ouvrnal. g In abolishing the former regulations the state board has taken an action for which Louisiana and Texas have been long looking. The three months that have formerly been open for the transportation of the mentioned grains in the state of Georgia were deemed too short a time by the planters who live near the gulf. ; The vote to abolish to the former regulation was unanimous. State Entomologist R. I. Smith of Atlanta, State Commissioner of Agri culture O. B. Stevens, Col. Dudley M. Hughes of Danville, Ga., and Dr. P. J. Berckmans of Augusta, the mem bers of the state board of entomology, were in attendance at the session. WERE HOT UNDER THE COLLAR. Bank Employes Didn't Like Being Measured and Photographed. Followimg the Bigelow defalcation, one of the Milwaukee banks has adopt ed a new rule, under which all of its officials and clerks are required to be photographed and measured after a system something like that of Bertil lon, which has been adopted by the police department for the identification of ecriminals. The Milwaukee bank’s clerks were for a time ‘‘hot under the collar’’ about the new rule, but when they reflected that an honest man doesn’t care three straws how many checks are put on him they cooled off and submitted to being recorded. But ‘ it is a little tough to make honest men ‘suhmit to even the slightest humilia tion because of the peculations of a ) rascal. g | WEALTHY MEN IN COLORADO. David Moffatt of Denver is the richest man in Colorado, which out ranks all other states in per capita wealth. Colorado has the further dis tinction that most of its vast fortunes were made within its boundaries, not alone in mining, but in cattle indus try, in realty speculation, in fruit, in sugar-beet culture, potato farming and manufacturing and other mercantile pursuits. There are 108 resident mil-‘ lionaires in Colerado, their total wealth being about $260,000,000. Mr. Moffatt is worth from $25,000,000 to £30,000,000. About 100 men worthl seven or more figures made their mon ey in the state and reside elsvwbene,‘ , FUTURE OF THE NEGRO. {Appears Uncertain, Gloomy and Hopeless Says Lines., The Protestant Episcopal Church congress opened in Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, New York, Wed nesday. The topic for discussion Aat the night session was ‘‘The Negro in America.”” Papers on the subject were read by Bishop Lines of New ark and Cuadjutor Bishop Strange of the east Carolina diocese. Bishop Lines said that the future of the negro wonld be determined in no small degree by what the church did. The schools established for the edu cation of the negro were great and beneficent institutions. He declared that colonization as a factor in set tling the question of the negro’s fut ure would prove a failure, and that it was the dominant sentiment of both north and south that the question could not be solved either by amal gamation or deportation. The future of the negro at present, he added, appeared to be uncertain, gloomy’ and hopeless. THE GEORGIA-TENNESSEE LINE. Commissioners May Settle the Dis pute Between the Two States. | Governor Terrell has received a! letter from Governor Cox of Tennes see stating that the legislature of that state has just provided for the -ap pointmentment of a commission of three to meet a similar commission from Georgia and settle the disputed boundary line between Dade county, Georgia. and Hamilton and Marion counties, Tennessee, running right across the top of Lookout mountain. As it was ih 1887 that the Georgia legislature ‘pacsed a similar bill the appropriation has since lapsed into the treasury, and it will be necessary to secure a new appropriation before Georgia’s commissioners can be named for the work. If there is found tobe any immediate necessity for ae tion Governor Terrell will name the commission any how and trust to the legislature for the appropriation. FITZGERALD SUED FOR $15,000 Daughter-in-Law Says That He Alien. ated Her Husband’s Affections. P. H. Fitzgerald, founder of the Georgia colony, is being sued by his son’s wife for $%15,000 damages. His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bernard Fitz gerald, is his son’s second wife and was formerly Miss Minnie Barnett of Franklin, Ind.. and she brings suit against her father-in-law in a com plaint charging that he alienated her husband’s affections and induced himj fi desect her. || i ] UNGLE SAM'S BIG DEFICIT HIS INCOME IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PAY HIS MANY BILLS. Plenty of Talk as to How to Get More Revenue. Congress Must Act at Ilts Next Session. t A Washington dispatch Says new iimpetus is given to the demand for ‘revenue legislation by the deficit for the year ending June 30, which will i probably reach $35,000,000. ~ The lines of division between the two ischools of republican protectionists are showing themselves. One division lof the party will urge that increased revenue should be obtained from in ternal revenue taxes and by the trans fererdce of certain imported articles now on the free list to the dutiable. An increased tax on beer and on dis tilled spirits now used in reinforcing American wines is proposed. This ; wing of the party will resist the theory that added revenue might come from lower tariff duties, because that we do not want to buy more things abroad. The treasury has made an estimate of probable expenses for the next four years, on the theory that average ex penditures can be reached with more accuracy than the prediction for any particular years, especially in naval outlay, where the cost of construction often masses itself in a single season. Without additional revenue certain new projects, like the shipping sub vention bill, would be greatly preju= diced, besides old friends like the pub lie building and the river and harbor bills. Congress will probably want the extra money, and this will compel the committee to recommend more rev enue. / DEEPEST HAUL OF A NET. Took a Whole Day to Sink It and Bring It Back Again. The deepest haul of a net ever made in the world was achieved by Ameri cans off the Tonga Islands in the south Pacific. The trawl struck bottom 23,000 feet below the surface; that is considerably more than four miles down, but even at that depth animal life was found. Those strange beings lived in water whose temperature was constantly just above the freezing point, and un der & pressure of 9,000 pounds to the square inch. To sink that net and bring it back again took a whole day of steady labor. % v ————— e =
