Ho* Mill lose Urn Beta Pick'd Up sad Ac- cMeatally Slant* Ee? 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.

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 show anoh a rooord has yet to be dlaoov ered. ALVORD. REMANDED FOR TRIAL. Treablea el Iba Mas Who Stole $788,080 Are Jaat B'flaalai.

Osarde Is Have Naw Anaary Wllkeat Daisy. Will Visit Cohuabas Friday. From Tuesday's Daily Herald. Companies E and G, Albany Onards, held an important joint meeting at tbe armory last night, and business ont of the rognlar routine order was trans acted. The most important matter disposed of was the settlement ot tho vexations armory problem. Aa has already been stated in these colnmna, the two com panies had ondor advisement a proposi tion from Mr. Morris Wealosky to con vert the Haloyon pavilion into a con veniently appointed armory. The plana for remodeling the building were out lined In theae columns several weeks ago. Tha two companies last night ratified the contract which their commanding offioera had advised making with Mr Wealosky, and the final agreements will be drawn np and signed today. Mr. Waaloeky will begin work on tbe pavil ion at onoe, and the Guards will be able to move into their new quarters within the next few weeks. It was also deolded last night that both oompanles should aooept the Invi tation of the Columbus Guards to visit the City by the Obattahooohee on Fri day, November Sod, whloh will be mili tary day of the Oolnmbua street fair. Both ostnpanles, together with the others of the Fourth regiment, will at tend, with a suffiolont nnmberof men to make a creditable showing. First Lieutenant William M. Wilder is still In oommaud of Company B, the snooessor of Oapt. O. R Davis, who re cently resigned, not yet having- been eleoted. The election will be ordered in a few days. 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 will probably be accepted from the builders within the next few days. There are signs of approaching winter all around us, but our old friends, the mosquitoes, are still with us, as inquis itive and as bloodthiisty as ever. Cotton Caterpillars. Not until today have we heard of any ootton caterpillars in the oonntry, bnt Mr. J. G. Ooohran, of Mitobell oonnty, says that the atrlped-baoked worms have eaton up a field of ootton for him. Tho worms first appeared abont two months ago In a plooe of bottom land, aud Mr. Ooohran says that they have literally eatuu it up. Ho says he has heard of no oaterplllara elsewhere In his neigh borhood. An aooonnt of a new method of treat ment for diphtheria was recently pub lished in the Normandie Medioale of Ronen. Au epidemio of this disease broke ont last year in the village of Nrn- vllle Ohamp-d’Olsel, abont nine miles from Ronen, and the nanal treatment was given by the oonntry doctor. Hap poulug to recolleot tbe English use of petroleum as an auti-spasmodlo aud an antiseptio, he determined to make an experiment and selected for his first tiial a little girl. 7 years old, whom he hid already given np. He swobbed the throat with oommou petroleum, aud so marked waa the improvement after the flint application that the treatment was continued and the ohiid recovered. He then tried tbe experiment with auooesa on his other patients.

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.

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. Big Values Draw. TRADE!
