Spirited Debate Over Pensions WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.—This was a day of oraiory in the House, the pen sions appropriation bill affording nn opportunity to a. number of Represen tatives to make speeches, not only in behalf of the bill itself, but on the tariff and the San Francisco school in cident. The latter subject, Mr. Hayes, of California, insisted that all Califor nia desired was to he permitted to con tinue American and that the Chinese exclusion law should ho made to apply to Japanese coolies. Mr. Grosvonor. of Ohio, occupied an hour and a half in a discussion of-the tariff. Mr. Crumpnckcr. of Indiana, and Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, spoke on pension leg islation of a general character, both having bills before the pension com mittee lending to broaden the scope of existing pension laws. A spirited controversy arose over an effort to have the pension agencies of ^tlie countries reduced from eighteen to k one. The provision was sharply.antag onized by members representing dis tricts from which agencies would be removed. Without reporting the pension ap propriation bill under the five minu'to rule, the House, at 4:43 p. m., ad journed. A. 8. FIRE IRS. C0.’S ASSETS, $292,250 !

Jan. 24.—The board of trustees of the Fifth District Agricul tural College, which met yesterday at Monroe, in Walt on County, did not give out the contract for the construction of the buildings. Ih seems that some flaw was found in the title of the two hundred and fifty acres of land offered as a location for the college. The board adjourned, to meet again in five days, this time to be allowed the people of Walton to secure another tract of land. A committee, consisting of C. II. Candler, of Dekaib, chairman: G. F. Hunnicutt. of Fulton, and A- D. Ham- mack. of Rockdale, was appointed to examine ail applications for teachers in the school. SCHOOL FUND WILL BE IN EXCESS OF ESTIMATES. ATLANTA. Jan. 23.—From present Indications the available funds for : Fhool purposes will be $69,000 in ex cess of the estimate made for defray ing the expenses of this branch of the state government. The estimate made on this account for the year 1907 was $1,786,588.33. The increase comes large ly from the tax on selling liquor.-. This item has run up from $21*0,000 to $242,000. Besides this the prison farm contributes $16,639.71 from the sale of products. The sale of old school lands turns into the treasury $S.680.62, and $5,000 comes from poll tax. Great Northern Railroad Is Balked in Plan to Increase Its Issue of Stock. ST. PAUL. Minn., Jan. 24.—In the Ramsey county dlstric. court today. Judge Oscar Hallam signed an order enjoining the officials of the Great Northern Railroad Company from making the proposed increase of $60,- 000.000 worth of additional stock of the company, or issuing the same or any part thereof, during the ponding liti gation, without first making an ap plication in writing therefor to the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission and securing its approval thereof, as provided by the revised laws of Minnesota. The pending suit :o restrain the stock issue was brought last month by Attorney General Young to compel the railroad’ to apply to the state railroad and warehouse commission before is suing the stock, as the laws provide that railroads must in that state show the necessity. for such an issue. The Great, Northern attorneys claim that under the company’s original charter it could issue stock at will, and that the law granting this power to the railway and warehouse commission is unconstitutional; As Judge Hallam’s order states that the company's con tention cannot be sustained and t’ - at 'application must be made to the rail road commission before the issuing the proposed stock, the decision, so far as the county court is concerned, is final. Judge Hallarr. in his memorandum accompanying the injunction, says that the state concedes that under the gen eral laws Of the state defendant may lawfully increase its stock subject to the regulation mentioned. The court says the injunction was asked to com pel tho company to submit to this reg ulation. which the defendant does not propose to do. Therefore the court holds that there is but one issue raised in .he case, and the ultimate right of the railroad company to make the p r o- posod issue of stock is not involved in this action. The case will be appealed. Wise Counsel From the South. '•I want to give some valuable advice to those who suffer with lame back and kidney trouble," says T. R.

May Take an Easy Turn for Governor His Letter to Rear Admiral Davis Is Severely Con demned. vi LONDON, Jan. 24.—The colonial of fice is now in possession of official ad vices from Governor Swettenham, concerning the exchange of letters be tween himself and Rear Admiral Da vis. but the extent of these advices and whether or not they contain an ex planation and apology or extenuating circumstances had not been disclosed. It appears that the imperial authorities requested the governor of Jamaica to send them a copy of his letter to Rear Admiral Davis. This now has been furnished and it shows that the letter as sent out by the Associated Press was to all intents and purposes a cor rect copy. The fact that Governor Swettenham wrote to Rear Admiral- Davis having been established, there remains only to determine the official form of action, anil the indications arc that the matter will be handled in -the usual diplomatic service and the cor respondence will be made public in a blue book. What the British govern ment and people condemn is the text of the letter to Rear Admiral Davis, the foreign office having declared that there was “no excuse for sucli language from an official to the office of a friendly nation engaged in the work of humanity." Rut on the question whether or not Governor Swettenham was justified in asking Rear Admiral Davis to withdraw his armed forces from the island, the British opinion in clines to hold that Governor Swetten ham acted clearly within his rights.

Georgia Fruit Growers Meet The Georgia Fruit Growers Associa tion held sessions at the Hotel Lanier yesterday, having representatives from every part of the state, and especially in the section where the largest orch ards are located. President H. A. Matthews presided and about fifty members of the asso ciation were present as well as a num ber of others -who feel an interest in fruit industries. At the morning session, election o£ officers was held. H. A. Matthews, of Fort Valley, was re-elected president: F. C. Summerour, of Dalton, vice-pres ident: and W. T. Chaney, of Rome, secretary and treasurer to succeed Frank Hazleliurst, who declined to servo another term, this decision hav ing been announced some time ago to the president of the association. The retiring secretary has held the office several years and the work he has done for the association was recognized by a rising voto of thanks at the meeting yesterday. The question of freight rates on shipments of fruits was not discussed at any great length, as the commit tee having the matter of inquiry in charge was not prepared to submit a report to the convention. M. Felton. Hatcher stated that the committee had not held a conference with the inter state commerce commission, hence no definite action could be taken on this subject. It was mentioned, however, as a matter of encouragement, that rates on fruit between the Pacific slope and Eastern points had been reduced, and it was reasonably inferred that simi lar results would be obtained between Southern and Northern markets when this special committee could present the matter to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The question of rates has been a vexatious one to shippers In this section, and efforts have been made several times to secure a- satis factory rate. It seems that Florida, is also inter ested in the matter of securing a lower rate on the fruit shipments from that state. A member of the -Jacksonville board of trade was present and listen ed to what the Georgia growers had to say on this line. He brought an in vitation to President Matthews and requested that he appoint a commit tee of three to go to Jacksonville on January 30, at which time a joint meeting of the Jacksonville board of trade and the immigration committee will be held, when the matter of trans portation of fruit will come up for dis cussion. President Matthews will make these appoints later. H. N. Starnes, horticulturist at the State Experiment Station, delivered a lecture on “Crown Gall." a disease which has given much ‘trouble to fruit growers and Is a detriment to orchards. Mr. Starnes showed a thorough know ledge of the subject and gave timely hints to growers. This address was followed by a dis cussion of peach and other fruit can neries for the state and several im portant points were brought out by those who have made a careful study of the industry. In the afternoon session a general discussion was had on the various dis eases, their prevention-and cure. This part of the meeting was participated in by several members and much valua ble information was given by experi enced orchardisis. The convention will hold an adjourn ed session in Atlanta in February at which all the fruit growers of Geor gia are invited to be present. At this session steps will be taken toward making stronger the organization and enlarging its membership. This move is in accord with the fight that is to b(5 waged for better rates for fruit transportation and a more united or ganization is desired before the battle begins in earnest. Before this meet ing is held letters will be sent to every section of the state where fruit orch ards are located. Macon was represented in the con vention by Frank Hnziehurst, E. J. Willingham. Felton Hatcher, George Jewett, and others. Dudley M. Hughes, of Twiggs coun ty. was present, as his section of the state has many'‘fine orchards along the line of the Macon and Dublin railway.

HONOLULU, via San Francisco, Jan. 23.—At midnight Wednesday, Jan uary 9. the people of nearly all parts of Hawaii awoke to the realization that the splendid spectacle of an outbreak of Mauna Loa was before them. In Hawaii volcanic activity is never dreaded: it is always welcomed. It means a spectacle, as long as it lasts, incomparable, magnificent—and so far as the experience of the hundred years of historic time goes—without danger to life, almost without danger to prop erty. From the summit of Mauna Loa, a vast cone which rears itself from a base 30 miles in diameter and includes almost half of the isle of Hawaii, to a height of 13.675 feet abovc^sea level, a grea: glow began to be seen. It rose -in an immense column of light, re flecting from the overhanging clouds, and seeming to spread out over a large area of the zenith. Where the column left the mountain it seemed almost white in the intensity of light. As it ro_se and spread out in reflection on the clouds it assumed a deeper, redder tinge. Light Slowly Bursting Forth. The great column of light did not burst suddenly into view. The column of lights, a shaft at first, grew in size and brightness for several hours. To those who have seen eruptions of Mauna Loa, It told its own story. Somewhere near the summit of the great mountain, the molten lava had broken out in a fiery stream, fornjjng first a cone and then bursting thr^y j t the side of this, started as a river of fire, and lava down the gently sloping side of the mountain. Then it began its descent to the sea, a stream of liquid fire, forming its banks as it moved, the lava on the outer edges cooling more rapidly than in the middle of the stream, but ever forced on by the weight of the molten mass behind, hurled from the under world by titanic force. In the distance it is a spectacle only. Nearby there is the deep surging of the molten mass hurled in great bil lows. from the depths below. This wonderful spectacle, remained a pillar of glory until the first light of the dawn began to pale its splendors, to turn them, as the light in the cast strengthened into a pillar of smoke by day. Four days after- the outbreak the stream of lava found its way to the sea In a brilliant cataract of fire it plunged over a cliff, into the waters of the Pacific. vLIVERPOOL. spots closed 5.90 NEW YORK, spots closed 11.00 NEW ORLEANS, spots closed.... 10.7-16 THE LOCAL COTTON MARKET.

While it is not as large as the Ryan job, still the loss of $1,000 worth of jewels and $60 in money is enough to make Arthur Dunnett, of 210 West Fair street feel like he has met with a heavy blow. Mr. Dunnett is a well-known traveling salesman, and his wife conducts a private boarding house. The stolen gems represent seven dia mond rings and a handsome diamond booeh. valued at $350. This brooch was given to Mrs. Dennett by her hus band as a Christmas present and was highly prized bj» Mrs. Dennett for this reason. Despite the activity of tile police, not the slightest trace of the missing jew els has been unearthed and no infor mation has been obtained tending to disclose the present whereabouts of the suspected boarder. The diamonds and money disappear ed from tho room of Mrs. Dennett. The gems and the greater portion of the money was in a strong box, a small, iron safe, which was kept' in a closet. The remainder of the money was in a small box, which had been left on a table in the room. A boarder is said to have paid his board to Mrs. Dennett, amounting to about $10, and then left the house. This sum was placed on the table, near the box containing the other money. Later Mrs. Dennett discovered that'the the table where she had left it. money box was empty. The $10 board money was still lying untounchde on TWENTY MINERS LOST THEIR LIVES TRINIDAD. Col., Jan. 24.-^-Twenty miners, according to the most author itative information available this even ing, lost their lives as a result of an explosion, which occurred early today in the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com pany’s coal mine near Primro, 20 miles west of this city. Two of the dead are Frank Hobart, miner, and R. J. Lumley, fire boss. The names of the other men killed have not been learned,' as the shift boss who checked up the men who went into the mine last night is missing. Ail the men except Lumley were for eigners, most of them being Italians. The explosion stopped the air fan which was not repaired until late to day. and there is little chance that any of the men in the mine are alive. Late advices are that the mine is severely wrecked. The rescue party has penetrated 300 feet and recovered four bodies. NEW YORK. NEW TORK. Jan. 24—The cotton market made a pretty steady showing during today's trading, and closed steady at a net advance of 7 points. Sales for the day were estimated at 150,000 bales. The opening was steady at an advance of 6 to 10 points on better cables than expected, Liverpool failing to respond to the local break following the census report of yester day.- There was consderable cotton for sale at the initial advance, but offer ings were very well absorbed by the time demand from spot people, yester day's sellers and others influenced by the steadiness of Southern spot mark ets and the continued talk of unfavor able seed for the next crop. Trading became less active during the middle session but the steadiness of the mark et rendered some of tho room shorts nervous and in the early afternoon, prices firmed up quite rapidly on cov ering and bull support with March selling at 9.53 and May realizing to cut down the advance somewhat, but the closing tone was steady. The Houston estimate for tomorrow was heavier but was offset by the lighter New Orleans estimate and the interior movement for the day showed shipments to be con siderably heavier than receipts at most points. Private wires from New Or leans reported that buyers from Mem phis and some other interior points were reporting the market in search ! of supplies. Southern spot markets i generally unchanged. Receipts at the i ports today 4S.3S7 bales, against 52,662 ! last week,and 15,493 last year. For the week (estimated) 300.000 against 348,- 741 last week and 111,502 last year.

Most • f today's business was believed to origi nate on the floor of t'ne exchange it self. Commission houses complain of entire lack of outside business and the outside financial powers arc disposed to let the market lie fallow, so far as any evidence of their activity can be discerned. Speculative sentiment con tinues mixed as to the manner of issue for the market from the present dull ness, whether by a renewal of the re cent liquidation or by a recovery. Rail road notes in issues of varying sizes continue to come upon the market and this continues to be recognised as evi dence of difficulty of flotation of capN fal issues in more permanent form. Growing notice is attracted, however, to the activity with which these issues are sought and the quickness with which offerings are sold, showing that capital, however- limited the supply may be now, is nevertheless procurable at a sufficient rate'of interest. Money conditions continued to work easier. Rates for time loans here yielded no tably and quoted practically for all periods half cent lower. The Bank of England and the Bank of Fiance show ed a further strengthening of position and the discount rate at Berlin yield ed further during the day. Presence of the secretary of the treasury in Wall street, afforded opportunity for a denial of rumors circulated yesterday that a further postponement was in tended for the day of deposits to the treasury beyond February 1, to which it has been advanced already. This may have accounted for the easing otf prices late in the day, although the market was impressible to the profit taking on the day’s movement in the narrow line of trading.

We have never heard of a single in stance of a cold resulting in pneumonia or other lung trouble when Foley's Honey and Tar has been taken. It not only stops the cough; but heals and strengthens the lungs. Ask for Foiey’s Honey and Tar and refuse any substi tute offered. Dr. C. J. Bishop, of Agnew, Mich., writes: "I have used Foley's Honey and Tar in three very severe cases of pneumonia, with good results in every case.” H. J. Lamar, near Exchange Bank. DRY GOODS. NEW YORK.

EmiS OF IIEAI AND Dill MS WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Moat and dairy products exported in 1906 ex ceeded 200 million dollars in value; and if to this is added the value of food animals exported, the total would aggregate 250 million dollars. Meat products exported show in practically all classes, except canned beef, an in crease over 1905, while cattle, hogs and sheep show a slight decrease compared with 1903. Fresh beef shows an in crease of over a million dollars in value: salted beef, a slight increase: tallow, a gain of nearly 2 millions; bacon, an increase qf 7 millions: lard, an increase of 2 millions; oleomarga rine. a gain of about 2 millions; while butter shows an increase of nearly 2 million dollars, and cheese a gain of Iff millions. In a single class, canned beef, there is a marked decrease, the value of canned beef exported during the year having fallen over one-ivilf or from about 7% millions in 1905 to about S’- millions in value In 1906. This decrease in exports of canned beef—a decrease amounting to about 16 million pounds in tho year o> ours chiefly In the shipments to Japan and the United Kingdom. The shipments of canned beef to Japan in 1905 were 14(A million pounds,' the loss being thus more than 14 million pounds in the shipments to that country alone. This falling off In the shipments to Japan Is due chiefly to the fact that the exports of 1904 and 1905 to that coun try were.abnormally large, due to war requirements; the shipments to that country in 1903 were but 48,463 pounds: in 1904, 2,649,419 pounds: in 1903, 14.404.37S pounds, and in 1 less than a half million, thus indlcai- ing that the movements of this article In 1904 and 1903 to Japan wore due. almost exclusively, to the temporary requirements of the' war period. On tlie other hand, a marked loss has. for some other reason, occurred in the shipments to the United Kingdom. The detailed flgurcs for December have hot yet reached the Bureau of Statistics of the . Department of ■Commerce and Labor, but figures for 11 months end ing with November show a fall from oS,14S.7Gl pounds to. 20.764,S42 pounds in exports of canned beef to the United Kingdom. To many other countries the exports of canned beef show an increase In 1906 compared with 1903. To France tho figures for 11 months of 1906 wore 1,103.358 pounds against 731,578 pounds in the corresponding months of the preceding year: and to Germany, 2,065,861 pounds against 869,265 pounds in tile same month of 1905. To Central America, Cuba, South America, the Philippines. British Africa, and other sections of Africa, the exports of canned beef also show an Increase in 1906, as compared with 1905, the chief falling off occurring, -therefore. In the ship ments to Japan and the United King dom., the total reduction In exjiorts "f canned beef amounting to about (0 million pounds, valued at' about 4 mil- ion dollars, for the 12 months 1906. Canned beef forms, however, a small proportion of tile value of meats ex ported from the United States, the to tal of meats alone aggregating over 200 million dollars, while that of canned beef was. even In its best year, less than S million dollars. Fresh beef, ba con, hams, salted pork, lard and "oleo oil" for use in making oieomargarim are the. chief items forming the 200 million dollars' worth of meat products exported, and to this should be added about 5 million dollars’ worth of but-, ter, nearly 3 million dollars' worth of cheese, and about 2 million dollars’ worth of milk exported in the year 1906. The distribution of this enormous vane nf food supplies—over 200 million dollars in the year 1906—is interesting. The records of the Bureau of Statistics show that' of the 22* million dollars' worth of fresh beef exported in the 11 months ending with November. 1906, 22)4 millions went to the United King dom. Of the 34 million dollars’ worth of bacon exported, 27million dollars' worth went to the United Kingdom. 2 millions to Belgium, and less than a million dollars' worth to Germany. Of the 19 million dollars’ worth of hams exported, 16% million dollars, worth went to the United Kingdom, half a million dollars' worth to Belgium, and less than a million dollars' \vorth to all other Europe. Of the 11 million dol lars' worth of salted or pickled pork exported, over 7 million dollar’s worth went to the L r nited Kingdom. Of the 53 million dollars' worth of lard ex ported in the 11 months ending with November. IS million dollars’ worth went to the United Kingdom, 17 mi'- lions to Germany. 5)4 millions to Neth erlands, 2)4 rnillions to Belgium, a half million to France, and 3 millions to other countries of Europe, while 2 1 - million dollars’ worth went to Cub:.', and a half million each to Mexico and Central America. Of the 16 million dollars’ worth of oleo exported for use in making oleo margarine about 8% millions went to Netherlands, 3)4 millions to Germany. 1 1-3 millions to the United Kingdom, and a little over 1 million to Norway. This "oleo,” which goes in the form of an oil. is used for the manufacture of oleomargarine, or imitation butter, and goes in larger quantities to Nether lands than to any other country, the total quantity sent to that country in the 11 months of 1906 having been over 100 million pounds. In addition to this, there was sent to Netherlands during tile same period over 10 million gallons of cotton-seed oil. which is understonj to be also largely used in the manu facture of butler in thata country. The total quantity of oleo oil sen! out of the country in the year just end'-d is over 200 million pounds, valued at over 17 million dollars, of which a lit;!o more than onc-nalf went to the Neth erlands; and of cotton-seel oil, about 40 million gallons, of which over one- fourth went to the Netherlands.
