8om« twenty yean ago, aaya the Obi'
cago Journal, two men, named Stevens
and Wood,>rere planting potatoee where
now etande the town ot Lcadvillc, Ool.,
U. B. A. "Awfully heavy dirt, thle,"
remarked one, aa he leant on hie epade
and wiped the perspiration from bla
forehead. "Yea," agreoa the other; and
then they both aet to thinking.
Aa a reeult of their cogltationa they
undertook next day n journey to the
nearneat government auay office, hay
ing each a wallet ful of the nnnatnrally
heavy dirt along over their abonldera.
It waa found to conalat of the enormona-
Iy valuable oarbonatea of allver and lead
in combination.
Both men are now mnlti-mllllonalrea,
and a city of 80,000 people haa grown np
round and over the potato patch.
One dav in the above-mentioned year
It happened that a poor Eugliah potter
named Oookworthy, tramping through
Cornwall, atnmblod aoroaa a masa of
atrange-looking, friable atone, white,
with gray apeoka in it. Tbe dlaoovorer
reeogniaed it aa boing identical with
kaolinio clay, whloh even then waa Im
ported in email qnantitlea from. China,
and waa need both for making fine,
hard poroelaln and for mixing with the
fat, bine Dcraet clay.'
Oookworthy kept hie "find" to him-
aelf nnttl ho got a capttaliat to back
him, and died a rich man, and hia de-
aoendanta are today drawing handaome
royaltlea from hla "mnd minea," aa the
nativoa once deriaively dnbbed them.
Ntneteen-twenttetba of the fullers'
earth need in England oomes from
Bel gate, in Surrey. It la dirt of ao eoatly
a kind that the grots value of the total
quantity ralaed from tbe "mine" during
the paat 110 years la oomputed at
£8,000,000. The gold mine that ean

AROIIT COFFEE.
The Slaughter Has Commenced.
From Thnrday's Daily Herald.
The slaughter of qnall of the new
season’s orop commenced thlsfmamtog.
Many parties went out, some for the
day and others for only a few hours
during the morning or afternoon. Very
little game was killed, however. The
oountry, to use a popular figure of
speech. Is as "dry as a bone," and bird
dogs are unable to do good work. How
ever, If all the qnall killed in^the oonnty
today shonld be plaeed In |a pile, the
show Would be qnlto anjattraotive one.
All the birds are not grown yet, tome
of those killed today being hardly more
than half matured.
County Tax Books Open.
Tax Collector J. T. Hester gives notice
In today’s Herald that the books are
now opeu at his office iu the court house
for the payment of state and oonnty
taxes for the year 1000, and taxpayers
are requested to oome forward promptly
and settle. Nothing is to be gained by
delay, and those who have the money
might ns well settle now as at the
eleventh honr.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad Is making extensive strides in
the use of oil fuel on its lines, and by
the end of the year coal will not be need
on any of the locomotives in the state of
OaUfornla. This company has oil wells
in operation near Fullerton, and other
fields arc being developed in the vicinity
of Bakersfield and Fresno. All the on-
ginee on the San Francisoo and San
Joaquin Valley Railroad are now con
verted into oil-bornen, and also those
on the Santa Fe Paoific between Mojave
and Needles.
The new jail is again ready for the in
spection of the oonnty authorities, and

There are signs of approaching winter

Cotton Caterpillars.
Not until today have we heard of any
ootton caterpillars in the oonntry, bnt
Mr. J. G. Ooohran, of Mitobell oonnty,

no oaterplllara elsewhere In his neigh

marked waa the improvement after the
flint application that the treatment was
continued and the ohiid recovered. He

Editor Hkrald :
A long snfferlng public appeals to
yon to use yonr best and nsefnl influ
ence tu an endeavor to help suffering
humanity, especially the traveling sec
tion, from groivooa Imposition. Way-
aide hotels and restaurants, along tho
lines of onr railroads, serve the publlo
with meals, Innobes, etc., the principal
Item being coffee—not coffee, bnt some
thing resembling it In appearance—in
reality being a miserable deoootion of
Chiokory or poor Rio. Even that, If
served warm and fresh, might pass
without a murmur but when, as it 1h
o'ten, very often, kept over from ooe
train to another and then rewarmed
and served like warm, the stuff is abom
inable.
It Isa matter of rare occurrence that
a tired manor woman oan get at any of
the railroad restaurants, or wayside ho
tels, adecont oop of ooffee. The price
fixed and cheerfully paid, ten oents, is
sufficient to enable the proprietor! of
those places of publlo refreshment to
give a semblanoe of value to their
wares, bnt they don’t. Beoanae a few
hungry and tired traveler! gulp down,
or try to do ao, the oharmlng fluid
whloh la doled ont aa ooffee, theae pro
prietors take It for granted that the
traveling publlo will submit forever to
Imposition. They seem to forget, that
where a few reluotantly enter their
plaoei now, soores would assemble If a
health-giving beverage oould be had.
Take Maoon, Fort .Valley, Smlthville
and Albany. One here expeote a good
oop of ooffee. Indeed, In thia respect,
the patrons of those places are never
disappointed. This is all wrong. Ooffee
ia easily made and ooate ao little that it
should ba always freah. The restaurant
at Albany ia a groat convenience to the
publlo, and, oond noted on different
lines, would "be better patronised. The
hotel at Smlthville, exoept it* ooffee,
well. Friend Mao, get a oook ora
little girl to make ooffee like onr grand-
mat used to make, aod yonr tables will
be crowded beyond their present oa-
pad ties.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have said enough.
If Bryan la eleoted next week and onr
ooffee manufacturers will, for a while
at least, turn over a new leaf, why we
will all be so happy that yonr city will
hardly be able to hold the sightseers
that will sorely oome to see the attrao-
Uona of yonr hay day carnival. I say
yon, beoause woroit not for the Herald,
neither Atlanta nor Oolnmbns nor Al
bany, not forgetting Bainbrldge, would
now be gdog into ecstasies over carn
ivals, Trusting that onr restaurant and
hotel folks will take these remarks as
gentle reminders, I am yours in the flesb.
A Lover of Good Coffee.
It is the earnest desire of the officers
of the Hay Day Carnival and Street
Fair Association to have all Albanians
take an active interest in the floral
parade, which is no be one of the feat
ures of the opening day of the carnival
and fair. No committee will make a
canvas of tho oity for the purpose of en
listing the interest of tho ladies, (who
are expected to take the lead in the
floral parade feature,) bnt ail persons
are desired and expeoted to enter their
vehicles in tbe contest. Do not wait to
bo invited: yon are invited already.
Everybody is invited. The oue thing,
the only thing yon have to do is to dec
orate yonr carriage, or baggy, or phae
ton, or snlky or trap, and have it at the
starting point of the parade on the open
ing day of tho fair and carnival.

What These Twa Cositles An Shewlai at
the State Pair.
Brooks and Lowndes, two adjoining
South Georgia counties, and perhaps
the most prosperous counties in the
state today, from an agricultural view
point, are rivals at the State Fair at Val
dosta this week for the big premium
offered for the best oonnty display, and
tbe Valdosta correspondent of the Sa
vannah News tells something abont the
exhibits and about tbe crops that are
made in those oountiee. The correspon
dent says:
Tbe fight for first prise by the conn-
ties making a display here lies between
Lowndes and Brooks counties. They
are adjoining oonnties. The contest is
■harp. Mr. H. Y. Tillman has charge
ot the Lowndes county exhibit, wh.le
Mr. R. I. Denmark looks after the
Brooks oonnty display. Both are fine
displays.
Members of the aoo<ety who have at
tended all of the fairs ray that they
never saw better exhibits. Lowndes
oounty ia showing sea island cotton
■talks with more than 900 bolls. Sev
eral hales of the ootton is displayed.
Sheolaims that ahe la the largest sea
Island ootton oonnty in the state, and
that Valdosta ia the largest inland sea
island ootton oity in the United States.
Lowndes oonnty is showing white
goods ont of ootton grown in tbe county
and manufaotnred in the oonnty. She
is also showing brooms made from corn
grown in the oonnty and manufaotnred
in the oonnty.
In her exhibit are eanned goods and
preserved goods, the sugar for whloh
waa nude In the oonnty. She is show
ing bottled syrup made in tbe oonnty
whloh hasaoonalderable reputation al
over the state. She is showing oanvaa
hams claimed to be tbe eqnal of any on
earth made by her farmers. She ia
showing oottonseed meal and oottonseed
oil made In tbe oonnty. Bbe Is showing
furniture made In the oonnty ont of the
oonnty’* wood. Also barrels made here
of the oonnty’• wood. She shows pecans
grown here whloh are shipped from the
oonnty all over-the oonntry. Her dis
play of hay is fine, as well aa her ex
hibit of rice, wheat, oorn, eats and pota
toes. She shows fine rice. Floor la dis
played, made of wheat grown here and
ground by Lowndes oonnty wheat mills.
She exhibits butter made at her own
creameries. Brooks oonnty make* 8,800
bales of long staple ootton, against 5,000
for Lowndes. 8he makes upward of
0,000 bales of short staple ootton, how
ever, while Lowndes makes less than
8,000
WHAT BROOKS 18 DQINO.
The oontest between these oonnties Is
lively. Mr. B. I. Denmark said that his
display ot corn comprised 600 bnBhels.
Brooks connty, he says, produces more
oorn to the plow than any oonnty in the
■tale. The best farms produce an aver
age of thirty to forty bushels per acre.
The display of oats is large. He said
I hat a farmer gathered 1,600 bushels on
forty-five aeres without fertilizer lost
year. Another, besides home supply,
has sold abont 900 bushels every year
for the last ten years from a five horse
farm. Another farmer has raised eighty
bushels of rye on five aores.
The exhibit of meal raised In Brooks
is extensive. A farmer running seven
plows, after snpplying his farm, sold
31,000 pounds of bacon last season. An
other sold 13,000 pounds from a three-
horse farm. Another sold (1,800 worth
from a six-horse farm and expeots to
double it this year. One farmer of
Brooks, It is said, has sold every year
for ten years (800 of baoon.
Brooks oonnty hams are famous over
Georgia. Of lard, 600,000 pounds are
shipped annually from the oonnty.
This year more than 40,000 barrels of
turpentine and rosin will be shipped
from Brooks. The display of sugar eane
is fine. Abont 6.000 barrels and 30,000
gallon cans of syrup are made in Brooks
every year. It is sold all over the United
States. From 600 to (1,000 gallons per
acre has been made by a farmer which
sells for from SO oenu to 60 cents. Good
farmers are making twelve bales of cot
ton on ten acres in Brooks. Last year
there were more than 6,000,000 pounds
of oottonseed shipped from the oonnty.
Hay is regarded as one of the best
money crops of Brooks county, Mr. Den
mark says. He showed several bales
which were considered the finest on tho
grounds, made on the farm owned by
himself and his brother, B. A. Denmark,
Esq., of Savannah. He priced this hay
to a onstomer who wished to boy it after
the fair at only (15 a ton, and he Bald
that it was a big money orop. Two to
8<x tons per acre is the average yield in
Brooks.
Brooks is in the watermelon section,
and this has grown to be quite an in
dustry there. This county has also a
large cotton factory. In the depart
ments managed by the ladies consider
able interest is manifested. They have
striven to make it a success, and they
have succeeded.
