14G SALES WERE GIVEN OUT AT

comn ..ioner of Agriculture Makes
pignitied RReply to President of
I,¢ Cotton Association.
(ommissioner of Agriculture Stev
... oiven out for publication a
'I . which he makes a elean and
... ~tatement of the large sale of
E . Jer tags, and states that he gave
:, ation to Hon. Harvie Jor
. who published the same early in
(\‘ . at that gentleman’s urgent
~ouest. Mr. Stevens says in part:
L i 1o his (Jordan’s) allusions
b . which have no bearing
ghatever upon the issue in dispute,
and with 110 desire to become involved
;u s controversy with the gentleman, I
ee] that my duty to the publie will
qot permit SO SUMMAryY a dismissal of
ihe subject W ithout some protest from ‘
00, fleavy Sale of Tags. j
{pr, Stevens voes on to say that
&;: as by T. J. Simmons, pub
ity agent Of the Southern Cotton
A( .ion. for tigures as to sales of
fertilizer tags he declined to furnish
fhem, *‘stating that, in my judgment, ’
i would be injudicious to make pub
lic at that time the sales of fertilizer
fags, as the information woud have g
epdency to create distrust in the
Jtimate success of the cotton holding
movement by precipitating heavy
sales by timid holders of cotton
throug he it the S()Uth.
“Tater in the day Mr. Jordan came
o my office and we discussed the
matter fully. He said the people were
damorous for the information and
that. in his opinion, to give it public
itv fust at that time would have a good
nf"‘n;n: that if the planters throughout
ihe south were officially advised re
garding the unexpectedly heavy de
pand for fertilizer tags they would
take warning and reduce their acre
e Yielded to Insistence.
Havine the interest and objects of
the Southern Cotton Association sin
cerely at heart, as much so, I am sure,
as has Mr. Jordan himself, I then told
him that [ would, at his request,
tornish the information desired to the
secretary of the department of pub
licity (Mr. Simmons) to be used by the
association as Mr. Jordan might
deem advisable.
‘Concerning the alleged reckless
waste of fertilizer tags, 1 wil.l say that‘
po man in Georgia knows better than}
does Mr. Jordan that this is a matter
over which 1 have no econtrol. Mr.
Jordan is himself the author of the
fertilizer law, under which I am now
operating. and which prescribes the
authority and limitations of this de
partment. |
‘ln conclusion I deem it hardly
necessary to say that I have no per
sonal feeling in this matter. I have
alwavs regarded Mr. Jordan as my
personal friend, and the friend and
nampion of the department over
which | have the honor to preside.
Imputation Is Absurd.
“The intimation that I am in col
luision with the manufacturers is pre
posterous. The only interest I have
in the manufacturers is to see that
tlr"j comply with the law which Mr.
ordan himself framed, and which it
suwy sworn duty to administer vigor
iy and impartially.”’

Wild Beast Escaped at Macon Street
Fair, and Created a Panic Among
Spectators. Soon Recaptured.
One of the animal tamers was too
slow in closing the door of a cage in
which he had been at work with some
lions during a street fair performance
at Macon, and before he had time to
count one, two, three a big lion had
started out of the cage and was mov
ing toward the c¢rowd of spectators.
Some of the spectators were ladies,
and they were seated high on elevated
seats, but they did not wait for es
corts to help them down tothe ground,
nor did those already on the ground
wait to be shown the way to the
tent openirg. Those bhigh up
stepped far out into space and landed
first one way and then another, but
mostly running and screaming. There
was great confusion and much ex
citement, but the lion did not harm a
soul. He was soon captured by being
driven into another cage.
BABOON A CAUTIOUS ANIMAL.
How a Herd of Them Approached a
Stream to Drink.
One of the farm boys drew our at
tention to what seemed little more
than a couple of dark specks on the
slope of the hill to the right, says a
writer in the Youth’s Companion, but
we could soon see that they were mov
ing, and when they came within half
a mile of us we could distinctly recog
nize them as a herd of baboons.
The boy said he was quite sure they
were on their way to the water, but
to our surprise they did not make any
advance. A quarter of an hour pass
ed, half an hour, still no sign of their
approach. All at once, as if they had
started from the earth by magie, at
the open end of the pond, not sixty
vards from our place of ambush, stood
two huge males.
When or how they got there no one
could tell. Probably they had come
by a cireuitous way through the val
ley, or it might be that they had crept
straight down through the grass.
They had certainly eluded our obser
vation.
Being anxious to watch the move
ments of the animals and to ascertain
whether they belonged to the herd
playing under the mimosas, I refrain
ed from firing and determined to see
what would follow next. Both baboons
sprang toward the water and leaning
down they drank until they were sat
isfied. Then, having gravely stretch
ed themselvés, they solemnly stalked
away on all fours in the direction of
the herd. There was little doubt,
therefore, that they belonged to the
herd and had been sent forward to re
connoiter, for as soon as they got
back the entire herd put itself in mo
tion toward the pond.
There were mothers taking care of
their little ones: there were half-grown
animals, the boys and girls of the
company. At first only one baboon
at a time came to the water’s edge,
and having taken its draft retired to
the rest. but when about ten had thus
ventured separately they began to
come in small groups, leaving the
others jumping and rolling on the
sand.
Fertilizer Sales Off.
C'onsiderable decrease is shown in
the sale of fertilizer tags by the de
partment of agriculture for April,
1905, as compared with the same
month of last year. In April, 1905,
there were sold 128,810 fertilizer tags
as compared with 169,350 in the same
month of 1904, This means a reduc
tion of about 4,000 tons in the sale of
fertilizers for the month, ten tags be
ing usedto a ton of fertilizers.

FOUND FORTUNE IN CISTERNi
Keg of Gold Found by a Contractor
in Louisiana. Had Been l
There Fifty Years.
J. G. Farley, contractor, in digging
out an old cistern at Fort Madison,
La., discovered a secret crevice in the
wall which contained a keg containing
$11,500 in gold, which dates back over
for y years ago. Two casks of winel
were also stored away. |
The discovery is believed to be the
cache of the river pirates who worked {
the Mississippi river and made head- ‘
quarters at Fort Madison. The cis
tern had beeh filled with rubbish and;
had not been used for thirty years,
being located on a lot in the business
district and near the river.
Tales were told to the effect that a
famous river gang member who died in
the south several years ago told of
hidden property near that city.
ROMANCES OF SAVINGS BANKS.
Man Behind the Money Counter Sees
All Sides of Every-Day Life.
A ragged little newsboy entered a
Pittsburg bank one day and boldly
invaded the private office of the presi
‘dent, says William S. Power, in Suc
lcess Magazine.
’ “Say, mister,”” he said, ‘‘can I
‘put some money in this bank?"’
~ “(ertainly you can,’’ the president
answered; ‘‘how much do you wish to
deposit?”’
WA quzkrter!" exclaimed the young
ster, pulling a handful of pennies and
nickles out of his pocket. The banker
took him over to the receiving teller
and introduced him with all the defer
ence that he would have shown to a
millionaire. The h?y left the city soon
after opening the account, but he kept
adding to his deposit from time to
itime, and as he was naturally bright
‘and shrewd everything he undertook
‘\prospered. He is back in Pittsburg
‘now, the head of a successful manufac
}turing concern and one of the bank’s
'most valued customers. 3
’ A year ago a proud young father
‘out in Michigan sent $25 to open an
account for his first born son, then
less than a week old. ‘‘The boy’ll
lneed it some of these days.’’ he wrote,
)“and we may as well begin té save
Ifor him right off.”’ Six months later
a tear-dimmed letter came, asking to
withdraw the money to pay the little
fellow’s funeral expenses.
A working woman in a little town in
' New York sent a dollar bill in the
Iname of her daughter, 6 years of age.
“‘She’ll be marrying by and by,”’ she
‘said. “and ought to have something
tw start life on.”’ That was nearly two
years ago, and almost every week
!since a dollar bill has been added to
'this account. There’'ll be a snug little
!m:u'x'ia;!e portion for the young lady
' some day if nothing happens.
] Not long ago a woman living in
| Tllinois sent five dollars with explieit
instructions not to let her *‘old man’’
know about it, as ‘‘he’d be after
' spending every cent of it for drink."’
Central Sued for Hundred Thousand.
Eleanor P. Lord, wife of Everett P.
Lord, who has been found to be in
sane, it is alleged, as a result of in
juries sustained on the Central of
Georgia railroad at Breman, Ga.,
some two weeks ago, has filed appli
cation, as guardian of her husband,
to bring suit for him against the
Central for $lOO,OOO. Mr. Lord was a
wealthy publisher of St. Paul, Minn.
He was spending the winter at Savan
pah and was on business in the north
ern part of the state when the acci
dent occurred.
Bilious Bill was getting bloated,
And his tongue was muchly coated.
Patent ‘‘tonics’’ wouldn’t cure him,
Companies would not insure him.
All his friends were badly frightened,
But their spirits soon were lightened,
For Bill said—and they believed him—
EARLY RISER pills relieved him.
The famous little pills, Early Ris
ers, cure constipation, sick headache,
biliousness, etc., by their tonic effect
on the liver. They never gripe or
sicken, but impartearly rising energy.

MAKES STATEMENT IN REGARD
TO HIS FUTURE CANDIDACY.
Nothing Can Swerve Him from De
cision. Speech at Denver Made
in Interest of' Rate Legislation,
The Omaha (Neb.) Bee quotes thei
president as making an emphatic
statement that he will not be a candi- '
date for re-election. The Bee quotes:
““You are authorized to state that II
will not again be a candidate for the
office of president of the United States.
There are no strings on this state
ment. | mean it. 1 made my speech
at Denver for the purpose of convey
ing to the people my earnestness in
regard to the matter of railroads leg
islation. I will not be satisfied with
any compromise that does not bring
relief to the people from the condi
tions that now exist in regard to
transportation affairs in this country.
No compromise bill from congress
will be accepted.”’
Published statements to the effect
ltlhat the president would be forced to
‘accept renomination by the people,
'who would be aroused to that pitch
by the failure of congress to enact a
remedy legislation, was shown him.
He expressed himself most emphati
cally that he was not to be swayed
from his determination by any ad
vances that might be made him, no
‘ matter in what disguise they came.
}ALI\'E ON THE COOLING BOARD.
‘Atlanta Man Carried to Undertaker
| While Yet Alive.
The remains of F. M. Blacker,
}formex']y of Ohio, but who for the last
‘ four or five vears has been a resident
‘of Atlanta, living with his daughter,
'Miss Minnie Blacker, were buried in
Westview cemetery Thursday after
noon.
Mr. Blacker died Wednesday, or
was supposed to have died, at the age
of 68 years. Hisbody wascarried to the
undertaker's parlors to be prepared
for the last rites.
While the undertaker was preparing
to inject embalming fluid intc the
body he was thunder struck with the
fact that the man’s pulse was still
beating. This discovery caused him
to suspend operations. The examina
tion did not last long, however, and
an hour later physicians who had been
called in pronounced the man dead.
The embalming was then done and the
body turned over to relatives.
The deceased had two daughters,
Mrs. A. Byer of Chicago and Miss
Minnie Blacker of Atlanta.

Saved by Dynamite.
Sometimes a flaming city is saved
by dynamiting a space that the fire
can’t cross. Sometimes a cough hangs
on so long you feel as nothing but
dynamite would cure it. Z.T. Gray,
of Calhoun, Ga., writes: ‘‘My wife
had a very aggravated cough, which
lkept her awake at night. Two physi
cians could not help her, so she took
Dr. King’s New Discovery for con
sumption, coughs and colds, which
leased her cough, gave her sleep and
finally cured her.”” Strictly scientifie
cure for bronchitis and a grippe. At
Dawson Drug Co’s., price 50¢ and $l.
] guaranteed. Trial bottle free.

i Peach Seed for Fuel
' Owners of peach canneries in Cali
{ fornia sell the seeds for fuel, for which
ipurpose they have been found to be
admirably adapted. ‘‘Everybody will
be glad,’”’ says the Chicago Tribune,
‘4o know that a legitimate use has
been discovered for the California
peach of commerce.”’ It is not difficult
to understand that Chicago has stuck
| her teeth in the California peach.
