last one month. It is planned that
all big Georgia Baptist meetings be
held there.
Part of the land will be divided
into building lots and sold for the
purpose of the purchasers erecting
summer homes and cottages. Boat
houses will be constructed at the ar
tificial lake and a nearby mineral
spring will be utilized. :
Schools will be built. One of the
main features will be a large sanita
rium. Work on the auditorium will
commence at once.
John M. Green of Atlanta is chair
man of the board of control of
twenty-five and chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of five. A super
intendent will be chosen later.
A charter has already been grant
ed the Georgia Baptist Assembly.

FREE SEED CROP LIMITED.
Congressmen Restricted in One of
Their Valauble Arguments.
A Washington dispatch says Sen
ator Sorghum and Congressman
Corntassel, and other solons from the
bucolic districts, are up in arms be
cause of the reduct'on that has been
made in the amount of free seeds to
be distributed among their constitu
ents this year, Free seeds are
dmong the most valuable arguments
used by congressmen for impressing
the desirability of their re-election
upon rural voters, and the loss of
€ven a portion of the perquisite is
viewed with alarm.
Owing to the high price of seeds,
fesulting from a crop shortage, each
congressman will have only 10,000
backages of vegetable seeds to dis
tribute among his consutuents. In
recent years the quota of each mem
ber has been 12,500 packages. The
duota of flower seeds, 500 packages,
remains the same.
An effort will undoubtedly be made
to have the appropriation increased,
50 as to make up the deficiency. This
Wil be opposed by Representative
Weeks and other conservative mem
bers. Mr. Weeks invariably votes
dgainst free seeds. He says he would
lot object if he had no seeds to dis
'ribute, and he believes that the gov
“rmment might as well give pianos
10 the constituents of congressmen as
garden seed.
MIGHTY FIGHTING MACHINES.
Ships That Will Make the Dread
naughts Look Like Pygmies.
A Washington dispatch says the
United States proposes a squadron Ofi
the greatest battleships in the world.
Plans are being made by the bu-!
"eau of comstruction for battleships
that will make the Dreadnoughts
00k like pygmies. One of these pro
bosed monsters of Uncle Sam’s will
be able to take care of itself against
‘hree of the Dreadnought class, with
the chance of winning the battle.
The vessels, for which plans are mak
ing, are of 26,000 tons, and to be
armed with 14-inch guns.
The fact that such a tremendous
“Xpansion in the naval programme is
“ontemplated was brought out in tes

“truction, before the senate naval

APPLES SUPPLANT WHEAT.
3,000,000 More Fruit Trees Planted
in Northwestern States.
More than 3,000,000 fruit trees,
principally apple, have been planted
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
since the beginning of the year, and
it is estimated that when these come
into bearing in 1912 the apple crop
of the three states will amount to
60,000,000 bushels, equaling the
wheat yield of 1908.
One and a half million trees were
set out in eastern Washington and
Oregon last year, and as many more
will be planted in 1909, if the nur
series can supply the demand. Most
of the trees are for commercial or
chards, some setting out 5,000 trees.
Every nursery operating in the in
land empire has sold its stock, and
it is likely there will be much im
porting from eastern and middle wes
tern states and the Canadian prov
inces. The success of apple growers
in the northwest has been SO great
that bonaza wheat ranches in various
parts of the country are being cut
up for orchard purposes. :

“MESSINA THE SEPULCHER OF HUNDRED
AND THIRTY THOUSAND HUMAN BEINGS”’
A London newspaper prints a dis
patch from F. Marion Crawford,
dated St. Angelo, in which he says:
‘“How can a new city rise from the
ashes of the old? Who will lay the
first stone? Who will venture to
light the first fire on his hearth?
Where a city of 150,000 inhabitants
rose in a wide amphitheater eight
days ago, overlooking one of the most
magnificent harbors in the world,
men will see a week hence a vast
whitened hollow in a hill. leveled
ruins strewn with quicklime—the
sepulcher of 130,000 human beings,
of whom more than half died in un
imaginable agony. At least there
PALATIAL TRAINS RUN SOUTH
Millions in Equipment for Tourist
| Service. Seaboard Has One
of the Handsomest.
No more palatial trains were ever
operated through the south than the
fast trains to Florida, which were
put into service from New York
Monday and passed through Savan
nah yesterday on the first trip of the
season, says the Savannah News.
The Seaboard train reached Sa
vannah three minutes ahead of time,
which is not according to railroad
ethics, for there is no provision per
mitting trains to reach a station
ahead of the schedule. But this the
Seaboard train did and the Coast
Line special was in the Union Station
on the dot. The record has probably
never been beaten for good service
and good time.
The Seaboard carried six Pullman
cars composed of a combination bag
gage and club car, a diner, double
drawing room compartment sleeper,
two drawing room cars with twelve
sections each and an observation
compartment car. The train carried
57 through passengers.
The Coast Line train reached Sa
vannah with 87 passengers. Five
left the train at Savannah and five
got on, leaving the total of 87 un
changed for through passage. There
were eight cars, richly finished and
furnished throughout.
Five trains for each line are re
quired for this service, representing
nearly $1,000,000 worth of train
equipment for each. The luxury of
winter travel is, therefore, not with
out its cost. The passenger men re
port the business equally as good, if
not some better, than is usual with
the first trains. They expect a good
season,
$lO,OOO BILL IS BAD.
Expert of the United States Secret
Service So Declares It.
Edward H. McHugh, in charge of
the United States secret service office,
examined the $lO,OOO bill found in
a tomato can by Patrick Sullivan, a
St. Louis ice wagon driver, Tuesday
and pronounced it worthless. Sulli
van planned an elaborate holiday
celebration with his family when the
alderman of his ward and other
friends assured him the bill was gen
uine, but this as well as other an
ticipated pleasures must now be fore
gone.
Sullivan dug up the can which con
tained the bill while he was digging a
grave for his pet dog which had died.

Executive Criticized Because Army
Officer Will Go to Africa.
The newspaper announcement that
Major Mearns of the army, who has
been retired on account of disability,
is to accompany President Roosevelt
on his African hunting trip, was the
basis of an interesting colloquy in
the lower house, says a Washihgton
dispatch. “The question came up in
connection with the bill providing
for the issuance of commissions, with
increased rank, to retired officers of
the army, navy and marine corps,
which was called up by Chairman
Hull of the committee on military
affairs.
“Does that include the army offi
cer who has just been retired for
disability who has announced his in
tention of going with the president?”
Mr. Mann of Illinois inquired.
“T don’t know,” Hull replied.
Still pressing for information Mz.
Mann called attention to the newspa
per item, saying Major Mearns had
been ‘“designated by a president of
office to accompany an ex-préesident
to Africa.” Hull protested that he
did not know whether the story was
true or not.
‘“Maybe,” interjected Mr. Clark of
Missouri, amid laughter, ‘“‘this officer
experienced a sudden and miraculous
cure after he got his increase.”
‘“Then,” said Mr. Mann, sarcasti
cally, “it’'s a libel of the president.
I haven't heard anybody put in the
Ananias Club on account of it.”

week.”
Referring to the appearance of
Messina on January Ist Mr. Crawford
says:
“Death was everywhere. The
bodies of persons extracted from the
ruins and of those who had died from
the effects of their energies as soon
as they saw the light, lay so thick
in the streets that it was hard not
to tread on them. No Dbattlefield
ever presented a more terrible sight,
while dogs of every breed, from
Sicillian mastiffs and sheep dogs to
slinking curs of the hill villages,

corpses like hyenas, although hun
dreds of them were shot by the sol
diers and blue jackets.”
TO BUILD THE RAILROAD
Great Construct:io_n Force Assembled
at Richland to Begin on Exten
sion of G. F. & A. Railroad.
The Times-Recorder says Hall &
Parker, railway builders, with a great
construction force, consisting of la
borers, mules, wagons, scrapes and
camp equipment, have passed through
Americus en route to Richland,
where work is to be started on a new
railway.
This is the extenslon of the Geor
gia, Florida & Alabama from Cuth
bert to Richland, about thirty miles,
where it touches the Seaboard Air
Line. :
It is believed that this extension
of the G. F. & A. will soon be pushed
northward to Buena Vista, where it
will connect with the branch line
being built from that town twenty
miles to a point on the Atlantic,
Birmingham & Atlanta Railway.
In time this will be a trunk line to
tidewater, seeking an outlet on the
Mexican gulf. |

$15,000 FOR DETEGTIVES
SPENT BY THE GOVERNMENT
ON BR()WNSV]LLE AFFAIR.
FORAKER UNEARTHED IT.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—lt has cost
the government $15,000 already in
the employment of private detective
agencies to investigate the Browns
ville affray and the contracts with
these agencies are still in force.
This information was received by
the senate from Secretary of War
Wright in response to the Foraker
resolution inquiring when and by
what authority of law Robert J.
Browne and W. G. Baldwin of Roa
noke, Va., were employed. It was
the report of Browne and Baldwin
on which President Roosevelt based
a recent message to congress declar
ing that the guilt of certain of the
discharged negro soldiers had been
fixed beyond a shadow of a doubt,
and this report was attacked by Sen
ator FForaker. in a speech on the ffoor
of the senate.
Attached to the report was a confi
dential letter from President-elect
Taft, then secretary of war, under
date of April 16, 1908, urging the
president to make the original con
tract with Browne and Baldwin. In
that letter Mr. Taft said:
“The Brownsville investigation be
fore the senate, while it establishes
beyond any reasonable doubt the
correctness of the conclusion reached
hy you on the report of the inspec
tors of the army and other evidence,
has done nothing to identify the par
ticular members of the battalion
who did the shooting or who were
accessories before or after the fact.”
The contract recommended by Mr.
Taft was for the payment of $5,000
in four weekly installments.
Ordinary agencies at the disposal
of the executive says Secretary
Wright had not been completely suc
cessful, especially in determining
what particular individuals had been
engaged in the Brownsville affray as
participants.
Considerable difficulty was en
countered in locating the former
members of the negro battalion, ac
cording to Secretary Wright's letter,
but before the expiration of the first
contract sufficient information had
been obtained, he says, to warrant
the department in continuing the in
vestigation by the same persons. On
Sept. 1, 1908, a supplemental agree
ment was entered into calling for the
payment of $5,000 and on Dec. sth
a third contract was made calling
for a further payment of $5,000,
making $15,000 in all under the
three contracts. The full amount in
volved in the three contracts was
paid between April 24th and Jan.
2nd last in ten installments varying
in amounts from $l,OOO to $2,500.
ALWAYS KEEP A BOT
TLE IN THE HOUSE
“About ten days before Christmas
I got my hand hurt so badly that I
Ihad to stop work right in the busy
time of the year,” says Mr. Milten
‘Wheeler, 2100 Morris, Ave., Birming
ham, Ala. “At first I thought I
would have to have my hand taken
off, but someone told me to get a
bottle of Sloan’s Liniment and that
would do the work. The liniment
cured my hand, and I gladly recom
mend it to everyone.”
Mr. J. E. Matthews, proprietor of
St. James Hotel, Corning, Ark., savs:
“My finger was greatly inflamed from
a fish sting, and doctors pronounced
it blood poisoning. I used several ap
plications of Sloan’s Liniment and it
cured me all right. I will always
keep a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment in
my house.”
Mr. J. P. Evans of Mt. Airy, Ga.,
says: ‘‘After being afflicted for three
years with rheumatism I used Sloan’s
Liniment, and was cured sound and
well, and am glad to say I haven’t
been troubled with rheumatism since.
My leg was badly swolen from my
hip to my knee. One-half a bottle
took the pain and swelling out.”
The Montgomery Advertiser says:
“The democracy of Alabama had
nothing to do with the Augusta ex
hibition of toadyism.”
