HOW ATLANTA GETS BOOZE. l
It Is Delivered by Express While
You Wait.
The Rome Tribune says: “We
heard that Tom B. Felder was away
off when he said that the city of
Rome did not enforce the prohibition
law as well as Atlanta. They say
that all brands of beer are served
openly, and above the festive boardi
in the grottos of Atlanta establish-{
ments. Further, that at several
places a new scheme is being worked.
The. visitor who is on to the ropes
walks in and calls for an order
blank. He is supplied with one of
Randolph Rose’s. He orders what,
quantity and kind he wishes at the
regular retail price, plus twenty-five
cents for express. A messenger boy
takes the order, and returns from
Chattanooga in about five minutes
with the liquor. This is quicker
transportation than the fabled trio—
}telegraph, telephone, tell-a-woman.”’

TO SELL HIS HEAD FOR $lO,OOO.
A Professor of Amherst College Has
Made an Extraordinary Compact.
An Amherst, Mass., dispatch to
the Philadelphia Inquirer says: Prof.
John Mason Tyler, stone professor of
biology at Amherst College and son
of America's greatest Greek scholar,
is reported to have made an extraor
‘dinary compact with scientists of
wealth whereby he has sold his head
after death for slo,oov.
At the college there the report
was eirculated, and Prof. Tyler was
asked for its verification. He de
clined to make a direct statement,
‘but said that during his student days
‘at Leipsiz he belives he made some
'such agreement.
It is because he is reputed to have
the best shaped head in America,
with a most extraordinary brain de
velopment, that the question becomes
of interest to science. All the ex
perts in America are familiar with
Prof. Tyler's head, and it is common
knowledge that they regard it of
great value to the scientific world.
WHAT IT MEANS TO PEOPLE OF THE .
SOUTH TO TRADE WITH ONE ANOTHER.
! Much has been written recently
'as to the advisability of patronizing
“Yjome’ or Southern industries.
Few realize the full import of
what it would actually mean to the
south should its citizens trade more
freely with one another. No better
illustration can be given of this than
a careful review of the business be
ing done today by southern life in
surance companies. These figures
are fairly startling in size, interest
|ing in detail and worthy of the con
sideration of all thinking people.
The 1907 cotton crop was worth
to the south $700,956,000. During
that vear the south paid out $63,-
|088,350 as premiums on life insur
|ance policies. Of this amount
'southern insurance companies re
‘ceived only $6,770,334, while north
ern and western companies received
the approximate balance of $56,000,-
1000. Think of it! In about twelve
lyears, at this rate, the south would
lsend away, in premiums alone, an
amount equal to the total value of
Ithe 1907 cotton crop.

$60,000,000 IN 2 MONTHS
JONES OF PROHI PAYTY SAYS IS
SAVED FROM LIQUOR.
Statement Is Based on Government
Figures, and He Says It Is Proof
That Prohibition Does Prohibit.
By the decrease of nearly a million
dollars a day in liguor production
during July and August this year
from the production in the corres
ponding months in the last year it is
declared by Chas. R. Jones, national
chairman of the prohibition party,
that nearly $60,000,000 has been
saved for the people from the liquor
coffers. Mr. Jones said he based his
statement on official figures received
from the internal revenue depart
ment at Washington.
“The reporg shows,” said Mr.
Jones, ‘“‘that there has heen a de
crease of $5,858,487.03 in the inter-
Inal revenue receipts from taxes on
lthe liquor traffic during July and
'August of this year as compared with
'the corresponding months of last
'year, and a decrease in the value of
'liquor production of $58,198,770.70.
l “These figures are the best proof
| that prohibition does prohibit, which
!many friends of the liquor interests
lattempt to deny.
| “It simply means that on the mar
iket estimates of the liquor makers
| themselves more than $58,000,000 of
the people’s money that went for
liquor products in the same two
months of 1907 has gone to legiti
|mate business in the last two
imonthe.”
companies carried but 3.05 per cent.
of the total insurance in force in the
United States. In 1907 the precent
age carried by southern companies
had increased to 32 per cent. of the
total insurance in force, and it is
most gratifying to note also that
they secured 75 per cent. of the in
crease in the southern states during
the past three years. This strongly
indicates that the plea for ‘‘home
patronage’’ has not fallen upon deaf
ears, but has caused an awakening
that bids fair to promote and foster
the prosperity of the south as no
other factor has done before.—The
Cotton Journal.

EDITOR LANE SUED FOR $l,OOO.
Farmer, Whose Mule Was Scared by
His Automobile, Wants Damages.
The Calhoun Courier has received
information from the office of the
clerk of court that Mr. Warren
Plowden, a farmer living near Edi
son, had, through an attorney of
Dawson, filed suit against Editor A.
M. Lane of the Edison News for
damages to the amount of $l,OOO for
injuries alleged to have been re
ceived as the result of his mules be
coming frightened at Mr. Lane’s au
tomobile.
It is said Mr. Plowden alleges
in his suit that he was in Edison
driving two mules hitched to a
wagon and that the mules became
frightened at the approach of the
automobile. He claims he asked Mr.
Lane to stop his machine until he
could get his mules out of the way,
but his request was not heeded and
the mules turned and ran, throwing
him out of the wagon and severely
injuring him.
The suit will probably come up for
trial at the next term of Calhoun su
perior court. s
WHISKY SOLD IN SANDWICHES.
Alabama “Wets” Evade Law by
Hiding Drinks in Bread.
The sale and distribution of the
whisky sandwiches s the latest
method of evading the liquor laws
iin the state of Alabama. Loaves of
‘bread, cut and arranged like oyster
sandwiches, are sold over the coun
ters in lunch rooms presumably op
erated for that very purpose, a bottle
’of whisky being cleverly arranged
‘between the layers of the bread.
It is said that questionable lunch
;rooms have sprung up all over the
state in which these contraband
goods constitute practically the total
bill of fare.
The discovery of the whisky sand
wich was made by the warden at the
Birmingham jail, who took it into
'his head to examine an apparently
. innocent sandwich wihch was
brought to the jail for one of the
prisoners by a relative. Upon open
ing the loaf a bottle of whisky was
disclosed. A rigid investigation was
then put on foot, which resulted in
the discovery that the whisky sand
wich is already an important article
of commerce in Alabama.

FEW HARDSHIPS EXPERIENCED
BY THESE CASTAWAYS.
Those of the Lost Steamer -Aecon
Taken from Christmas Island to
One of the Fili Group.
SUVA FLJI ISLANDS.—The cast
ways from the British steamer Aeon,
who spent nearly two months on
Christmas island, an almost barrem
coral formation in the Pacific ocean,
arrived here today son the steamer
Manuka of the Canadian-Australian
line, all well and increased by one
in number. A daughter wds bora to
the wife of Chaplain B. R. Patriek,
U. 8. N., twenty-four hours before
the Manuka was sighted, and this
event, with the arrival of the res
cuers, was made the occasion -of
‘much rejoicing. H
- Tne Manuka reached Christmas Is
land on Sept. 23rd. Six hundred
‘bags of mail were transferred to the
steamer during the night and the
passengers and crew of the Aeem
were taken aboard the next morning.
The Ili-FaFted Aeon. -
The Aeon left San Francisco on
July 6th for Auckland by way of
Apia and was carried on the coral
island by the strong currents set
ting inshore. The steamer speedily
broke up, but the mals were saved.
and a large quantity o 1 stores. The
refugees suffered few privations, but
found themselves among remnants of
former wrecks, indicating the danger
of the reefs and tides.
Besides the officers and crew the
Aeon carried Mrs. Patrick and her
children and the wife of Lieut. W. K.
Riddle, U. S. N. Rude shelters were
built, but later quite an artistic cots
tage was erected for Mrs. Patrick
and her nurse out of lumber and the
cabin fittings of the ship. Among
the stores saved were plenty ot
fresh vegetables and the men of the
crew got fish in abundance by the
use of clubs in the surf. A supply
of fresh water was found at a depth
of seven feet, and, according to the
castaways, under the circumstances
they fared well.
Arrival of ithe Solace.
The United States supply ship
Solace, which has been in attendance
upon the torpedo boat destroyer fleet,
also arrived here today, having sailed
from Pago Pago, Samoa, yesterday.
She will return to port on Saturday
with Mrs: Patrick, her family and
Mrs. Riddle. The Solace was under
orders to proceed to Christmas Is
land to pick up the Aeon’s passen
gers and crew.
