He Must Have Help, or Hard
. -
Times Will Follow.
IABOR IS SCARGE AND HiGH
seeretary of Agriculture Wilson Says
the Real Reason for Hard Times
and - High Prices Is Scarcity of
parm Hands. What the Farmer
Giant Is Doing.
it has remained for Secretary of
Aericulture James Wilson to solve
ine true reason for high prices and
the high cost of living which has been
yothering the house-wife and the
mechanic for several years past. He
says the people, the laboring people,
are themselves to blame. They fail
to provide the necessary help to the
American farmer. In years gone by
+he farmer had his allies—other men
who came to his aid, heartily support
ing him when the burden grew too
vast. But now everywhere—in mine
nd railroad, in factory and forest—
the teeming millions of his neighbors
ave robbed him of them. Today
e stands alone, striving with titanic
irage to endure - the strain; yet
eemingly doomed, in spite of his
vast numbers, to sink under his toil,
nless the help he needs be given.
f he vields, if his enormous strength
cives way at last under his still more
normous toil, no section of the
mighty society borne up by his sin
gle strength can escape the universal
ruin.
Why Prices Are High.
In his statement Secretary Wilson
declares:
“The productiveness of the United
States along agricultural lines is not
keeping pace with the growth of our
population. Meats are dear because
meat-hearing animals are falling be
hind the population in relative num
hers. l.abor is scarce on the farm,
ind labor is dear on the farm, be
cause the factory, the forest, the
mine and the railroad are taking
away the farmer’s workers through
wages fixed at rates the farmer can
not afford to pay. The population
of the United States is growing both
by reason of the natural increase of
the families domiciled in America
mnd by accretions through immigra
tion from abroad. But the immi
frants do not reach to the farm.
The farmers who do come to us from
loreign countries do not find their
way to the farms of this country;
and the immigration laws prevent
American farmers from going to
reign countries and selecting
there the prospect.ve immigrants
flose services could aid tuem.
Work for Thousands.
At no period of our history has
e American farmer needed help so
much as he needs it this year.
there are said to be hundreds of
tousands of idle men in the United
States All of them could secure
fmployment on the farms—employ
ment affording food, shelter and liv
-8 wages. There are consequences
iWailing us. The result of all this
vill be the bringing about of Euro
’tan conditions, Many of our work
g people today cannot pay the
Tices current for meats. If we do

now with the farmers in a ereat
many states of the union. The
United States has made remarkable
growth as a manufacturing nation
because material is cheaper and bet
ter here than in any other country
of the world. Our farmers are mak
ing the most energetic efforts to pro
duce. They have the best machin
ery the world of agriculture knows.
They themselves work and their fam
ilies work. But the demand is great
er than they can supply.”
The Balance of Trade.
The world has itg ‘‘granaries’” and
its cattle plains; but the United
States is not a part of that world.
Its granaries .and its plains are its
own; when they fail there are no
others to which to turn. This farm
er giant last year was worth to the
nation $50,000,000 during every day
of the crop growing season. In the
single year he produced material
amonting in value to $7,412,000,000.
It meant that he had saved the coun
try from a disaster far more grave
than the embarrassments of the fall
and winter managed to produce.
The balance of trade in farm prod
ucts for last year was $444,000,000
in favor of this countrv—which
meant that nearty half a billion dol
lars in cash was added to the riches
of the nation. Tn all other products
the trade of 1907 produced a bal
ance in ‘our favor of only $2.,500.000.
Practically unaided last vear the
farmer giant fed the United States
and sent abroad products that
brought home $1,655,000,000. And
that money was nearly all spent at
home, for the farmer sells abroad,
but rarely buys there. Today the
country is praying for a good ‘“farm
er's vear¥’ The very hub of the re
newed prosperity turns upon the out
stretched arm of that plodding giant.
And today, with all his allies gone,
he is resolutely heaving at his titanic
task, bent on raising at least as
much as last year, with its $1,350,-
000,000 of corn; its $650,000,060 of
cotton; its $500,000,000 of wheat:
its $360.000,000 of oats and all the
other millions of the nation’s crops.
Unaided! And, it he ‘fall. whoO
suffers?
Approve of the Proposition to Sub
mit the Question of the City
Court to the People.
Editor of The Dawson News: 1
approve heartily the movement for
an election on the City Court ques
tion. 1 think it the duty of the exec
utive committee, under all the circum
stances, to make it possible for the
pecple to express themselves on this
matter. The Legislature has twice
disregarded a petition of two-thirds
of the people, and set at naught our
expressed will. A vote on the mat
ter ought to be convincing. Respect
fully, Wer T, EVERITT,
Mr. Editor: Without expressing
any opinion as to my position in re
gard to the City Court of Dawson [
desire to say that in view of the di
vision among our people as to the
court I think the suggestion as made
‘in last week’'s News a good one. By
‘all means let the executive commit
tee call an election on this City
Court question. The people should
be afforded an opportunity to express
their preference, and there is no au
thority except the executive commit
tee that has the right to act in the
matter. Jo Wi PEDDY,
I Editor of The News: As a citi
zen interested solely in the welfare
of the county of Terrell 1 write to
heartily approve the suggestion that
has been made by Mr. Irwin that an
election be called upon the question
of abolishing the City Court of Daw
son. It is fair to both sides. Let
the majority rule. J. C. JOINER.
Sasser, Ga.
Editor of The News: I write to
approve the movement of the exec

tpen. I am on the committee, but

the petition to the chairman. g
think this method a good one, and
I hope we can put it into effect.

IManuafacturer of Fenders Anx
l ious to Secure Living Dummies.
lThvrv Seem to Be Many Who Are
Willing to Enter the New Profes
sion. Several Unique Life-Saving
Devices Have Been Entered for
the Test.
A new prefession, or at any rate
a new way of earning a living, is
'now open to those looking for a job,
!who, though unwilling or unable to
work . hard, don’t mind taking a
chance at getting a bump or a
| seratch.
, Superior physical strength or men
{tal qualifice'tions are not reqnired/to
qualify for this new line of employ
ment. Any old clothing will do.
The hours are not long and the com
pensation of $2 a day is not consid
ered bad st all.
Those who want to enter the busi
ness will have to act quickly, for
unfortunately, the only drawback
about this new line of work is that
the number of men employed in it
is necessarily limited, and there are
plenty of men who are willing to do
the work at the wage offered.
At any rate, a manufacturer of
an automatic car fender has writti
Ito the public service commission of
New York that he hasn’t any diffi
fcnlt,\' in getting all the men he want
ted to act as dummies, and fall down
fon the tracks before a swiftly mov
jing car and let the fender pick them
jup, to prove the value of the device
iin preventing loss of life and acci
jdents.
Public Tests Are Planned.
| Several months ago the public ser
'vice commission took up the problem
‘of devices on surface cars to dimin
ish the danger of accidents. After
la general consideration of the mat
ter it was decided to hold a series
{of tests of fenders and wheel guards,
at which manufacturers of these de
‘vices might be represented to show
the merits of their products.
’ The first of these tests will be
held in the grounds of the General
lElectric Co. in Schenectady, in the
early part of September, to afford
‘V\'estern manufacturers a chance to
exhibit their devices without ship
[ping them a long distance. A second
'ltost will be held in the yvards of the
|\\'ostinghouse Electriec Co., in Pitts
burg, in the early part of October.
\ At both of these places trolley
'cars and tracks and pavement condi
{tions similar to those in New York
will be provided, so that the tests
will give the commission a definite
iidoa of how the various devices
twould work if put jnto use on the
|street railroads of New York.
! Had Intended Using Manikins.
’ In making its arrangements for
the tests the commission had planned
to use manikins, which could be
dropped in front of the moving cars
and a practical experiment given of
the utility of the devices tested.
One manufacturer, however, is so
confident that his automatic fender
when put to practical use will pre
vent a person from being carried
under the car that he has offered to
provide living ‘“‘models” to fall in
‘front of the moving cars at the tests
{to be held.
He thinks this would be far more
satisfactory proof of the value of the
{automatic fender, and says he can
|get plenty of men who are willing
(to act as fender dummies at $2 a
day. Other manufacturers of fend
ers and wheel guards have also sig
nified their willingness to go into
ithe tests with living ‘“‘models.”
| Many Unique Devices Entered.
’ Already 40 American manufactur
!ers have sent word to the commis
|sion that they will take part in the
{tests, and a hundred others in the
‘l"nited States and various countries
lof Europe have written for informa
tion and specifications in regard to
[the tests. The engineering depart
{ment of the commission is now
studying a mass of descriptive mat
(ter and specifications of various
| types of fenders and wheel guards.
i Besides the ordinary screen fender
in general use on surface cars many
of the contrivances submitted are
elaborate, one of them being de
signed to throw out arms to clasp
a person and hold him safe in midair
until the danger is passed.

INDIA'S ANNUAL DEATH ROLL
el
From a Riot of Reptiles Has Reached
Stupendous Figures. The Cobra
and the Hamadryad the Most
Deadly. The Latter Will Attack
a Man on Sight.
Contrary to the general belief, the
python or boa constrictor rarely at
tacks people, and is looked upon
very differently by the people than
are the hamadryad and cobra. The
python will take up his abode in a
neighborhood and will not disturb
anyining except the hen roosts;
these he disturbs very much, as he
has a great fondness for chickens,
also for a stray dog or small goat.
[ know of one case, however, in a
floating house where a python at
tacked a woman, and contrary to the
preocnceived idea did not erush her
in its folds, but attempted to swal
low her, commencing with one of her
feet. When she was rescued her foot
and ankle were badly iacerated by
the snake's teeth. The Chinese kill
the python to make medicine from
the liver, which has a high repute
among them. They also use the
dried skin for medicine. Any Chi
nese drug store in Siam has a num
ber of python skins for sale.
One of the most important things
to know about snake bites is that
the poisonous snakes, such as the
hamadryad, cobra, etc., leave on the
individual only the two punctures of
the poison fangs, while the less
poisonous and harmless snakes leave,
beside the two punctures, the marks
of adventitious teeth. This is most
important is prognosis, as being
called to see persons bitten who were
showing great shock it helps phiysi
cians and patient materially to as
sure the patient that while he may
be very ill he will not die.
There is only one snake in the
Far East—that is. in India, Burma,
Siam and the Malay Peninsula—
that will always and at all times
attack a man on sight. That is the
hamadryad, justly more feared than
any other animal that crawls. For
tunately for mankind they are not
common, excepd in I.mited districts.
They are so feared by all that the
native shikarris or hunters will go
miles out of their way to avoid the
locality in which they are known to
exist. The hamadryad will stalk a
man as a tiger stalks his prey. Mr.
Leonowens, who as a boy was edu
cated with the present king of Siam,
and who is interested in teak for
ests, told me he had seen elephants
die in half an hour after being bit
ten, and that he always carried a
shotgun loaded with buckshot when
in the jungle infested by snakes. He
said that one of his men, a Burmese,
was chased by one and escaped by
thorwing away his clothing piece by
piece, the snake stopping each time
to bite the clothing. He had shot
the snake himself just as the man
fell exhausted near him.
These two snakes, the hamadryad
and cobra, cause the great annual
death roll of India from snake bite,
about 22,000 people last year. One
reason for this great death roll is
that Hindus and Buddhists will not
kill the snakes, as it is against their
religion to take life. The cobra will
go away from you usually, except in
the nesting season, and then he will
attack you on sight if you disturb
him or his mate.—Correspondence
