The Georgia lumbermen have formed
a trust, and it is a big one.
Tlie Georgia Lumbermen’s Associa
tion, organized some time ngo, met in
Macon on Monday and organized a
lumbermen’s exchange, which is in
reality a gigantic trust, to have its
headquarters nt Macon.
Forty-live of the most prominent
mlllingintcrests in the State,and $20,-
000,000 of invested capital were repre
sented. Capt. S. H. Weston, of Albany,
was in the chair, with Merritt IV.
Dixon, of Savannah, as secretary.
A committee was appointed to draw
up a plan for the organization of the
exchange, and reported at the after
noon session, advising the organiza
tion of local brandies, each with an
executive oomuilttee, which, com
bined, will form a general uomniittce
who shall eieot a secretary, with an
office in Mncon.
TO TRANSACT ALL BUSINESS.
Through tills executive committee
mid secretary tile entire lumber busi
ness will bo controlled. The report
was approved. The general executive
committee will meet in Maoon April
lit, and will elect a president, six vice-
presidents and a secretary. The plan
proposed is that all orders oonie to the
seoretary, who is to distribute them
impartially, the prices to be uniform
and flxed by the exeoutive committee,
eaoh mill agreeing not to undersell the
flxed price. The combine thus formed
is intended to eliminate the commis
sion men, all mills outtlng for the ex
change and thus throwing the middle
men out work. I"
WHAT A LUMBERMAN SAYS.
A prominent lumberman said to a
representative of the Savannah News:
“This will be the saving of our busi
ness. Heretofore the supply out lias
been tqpre than the demand. Four
hundred million feet of lumber are cut
nnnually, giving employment to 20,000
hands. In the future the mills will
shut down when the supply is too
large, the oentral committee to decide
which mills are to shut down and nt
what loss. The other mills will be as
sessed pro rata, according to tliclr size,
to mnke up the loss. Tile central of
fice will probably be in operation by
May 1st.”

Has always something to regret.
His nose is to the grindstone bent
By such enormous big per cent.
So, buy your goods from. Bell for

The saved per cent, will buy your

The “hard-times” fever rages high,
And it has made the nation sigh.
’’Tis more than people can endure,
And so we’ve sought and found a
cure.
We hear with grief their mournful
cries,
And that is why we advertise.

The alleged connection between
Gypsies ami £he nails used in the
crucifixion lias frequently been re

rest. This tradition is very common
in the Highlands of Scotland.

Ike Rutherford and Jim Ham, two
of the men arrested on Tuesday for
stealing from the railroads, plead
guilty to larceny from the oar before
Judge Jones, of the County Court, this
morning, and their sentences were
pronounced. They were each given
twelve mouths oil the chain gang or
$75 and costs.
Rutherford and Haul botli think
they will be able to pay their tlnesand
get their liberty.
Tlie eight outer prisoners are under
going commitment trial before Mag
istrate A. P. Greer this afternoon. The
investigation was begun nt .’1 o’clock,
and the result cannot be positively
stnted nt the hour tlie EvENtNCI Her
ald goes to press; but the officers
think they have conclusive evidence
against all tile accused except, per
haps, Peter Cohen, Knfe Jones nnd
Jim Browder, whose cases were first
called. These three wero discharged,
the evidence not being sufficient to
oonvlot.
In yesterday evening’s IIeuald it
wns stated that Jim Browder nnd Ned
Holt lmd been libernted at the request
of Mr. J. S. Clark, the agent of tlie
Central railrond, who did not think
there had been any conclusive evi
dence found against them. Wo re
ceived our information from Chief of
Police Westbrook, but it proved to be
a mistake. The Chief wrote a note to
Sheriff Edwards requesting the re
lease of tlie two men, nnd presumed
that it had beon or would be complied
with; but the Sheriff held the prison
ers on information furnished by
Deputy Sheriff Godwin and Officer
Kemp, subject to due legal procosB.
Later.—The court adjourned nt 4
o’olook until to-morrow, when the
other prisoners will have a henring.

How to Deoomn Lflarneil,
Any man of mature years who has en
joyed all tho advantages of a. free public
primary, grammar and high school, a
preparatory academy, a college, and n
professional school, will testify that wlmt
ho lias learned by himself is of infinitely
more value to him than all ho ever ac
quired in all the institutions of learning
ho over attended. Books on nil subjects
are now so cheap and plenty, public
libraries arc so largo and numerous, in
struction In special studies is so easily ob
tained that nny person who can read,
write and compute numbers may become
os learned ns tho wisest. Ho can study
wliat lie knows or thinks will afford him
tho most pleasure or profit. IIo can
cultivate ids lioud, hands, or heels, his
eye, tongue, or oar, his luunners, morals
and tmguago to any extent ho desires, at
an expense not exceeding wlmt a young
man ordinarily spends for cigars or a girl
for candy. If a person wlshos to become
learned there in little trouble in accom
plishing what lie wishes.—Chicago Times.

“Great Bargain Sales" wns tlie
sign displayed on Sixth avonue not
far from Fourteenth street some
woolen ago. A red nosed woman in
seal plush sack sighted tho sign arid
mado abeo lino for the entrance. Tho
street was full of teams, nnd tho bar
gain struck woman would have been
run down blit for a district messen
ger boy, who rushed out, grabbed
her by the arm and steered her to
the sidewalk.
‘Geo I” he ejaculated as ho watched
her take a now start for the bargain
countor, “It 'ud take ton p’leeco-
men an sixteen so’gors to keep a
woman away.from a bargain coun
ter.” That hoy has wisdom beyond
his years, hut it was all explained
when ho was heard to say to a com
panion in bluo nnd brass, “Djuknow
now, that was just like me own
mother!”—Now York Recorder.

A llnby Denver’s Dam.
A college professor in Maine tells how
ho convinced a friend who did not be
lieve that beavers could build dams. He
bought a baby beaver off a hunter one
day and sent it to his skeptical friend.
Tlie beaver became a great pet in the
house, but showed no signs of wanting to
build dams until one Monday morning a
leaky pailful of water was put on the
floor in tho back kitchen. The beaver
was there; he was only a baby then,
too, but the moment he saw the water
oozing out of a crack in the pail he
scampered into the yard, brought in a
chip and commenced building his dam.
His owner was called, and watched the
little fellow, very much astonished by
what he saw. He gave orders to have
the pail left there, and the industrious
beaver kept at his work four weeks,
when he had built a solid dam all around
the pail. The professor’s friend believes
now that beavers know a thing or two
about dam building.—Pittsburg Dis
patch.
It is a growing custom in Germany to
place Christmas trees on the graves of
children. On many of them are burn-
ig tapers and rich decorations.

Sunflower Fuel.
In Russia sunflowor stalks gath
ered from tlie fields and dried in piles
have entirely replaced firewood; in
fact, these stalks are preferred even
to pine wood, producing a quick and
hot flame fire. About 2,000 pounds
of such firewood are gathered from
an aero of land, thus adding a great
boon to a district where wood is
scarce. Sunflower shells are also
used for heating purposes, not only
in private houses, hut in large fac
tories as woll. They are burned in
ovens specially prepared for their
consumption.—Cor. St. Louis Globe-
