TYLER, Proprietor. Bmtered at the postoffice at’ Folgeton, Gu, as Second Class Matter. Over $150,000 worth of planos were shipped to China in 19086, yet the New York Commerclal hears of no act in retaliation. Surely the Connecticut statesman l who advocates the death penalty for , grafting, laments the Washington ' Post, has no idea of the hole he would | make in the population statistics of the country, ' Suggests the Montgomery Adver-' ticer: When we read of the various l and varied troubles of the million aires we are almost tempted not to be one. They have lots of vacation and worry ‘o encounter. A New York exchange has printed | the story of a young man who ‘“‘shot ‘ himself ifn the basement.” Presnm ably, says the Washington Post, the | would-be suicide noticed how many men made a botch of it by shooting themselves in an empty attic. } Says Mrs, Cobden-Sunderson, the | English suffragette: ‘“American wo-i men are not interested in anythlng' but themselves; they probably would not know how to use the ballot.”‘ And probably also it is these very faults that makes them so attrac tiye, retorts the New York Sun. ———————————— As sizgns of general prosperity are the rises in the prices of bread, meat, coal and other necessaries of living. A reason assigned for this by econo mists is the lessening of the value of gold because of its inereased produc tion. But a still better reason for it, observes the Philadelphia Record, is I in the trusts for arbitrarily maintain- | ing prices. &4 o “Your Honor, I am a human dere lict; T goess T-am better off in jail than giflstde of 1t So 1 just take anoth®c, plea of guilty.” This is what Johw, Kehoe, alias Kelly, a sev on-tlmog' ,nvlcted burglar, said to Judge Roaa-k,s in General Sessions the other day, elates the New York World. “I am afraid Dburglaring doesn't pay,” he added reflectively as they were taking him to his eell, ' m " If as a result of further aero nautic experiment it shall become established that cities, armies and fortifications may be destroyed by aerial attack, thinks the Philadelphia Record, it will do more to promote amity and prevent war than could be accomplished at a thousand ses sions of The Hague International Congress. (R “We have appropriated,” says the | chairman of the Senate's Committee on Military Affairs, ‘‘nearly SIOO,- 000,000 in carrying out the Endicott Board suggestions regarding the for tifications of our seacoast lines,. We have expensive emplacements, ex pensive guns—and no men, or a grossly inadequate number of men, with which to man them, As an actual fact, the guns already in place are nearly three times as many as there are men to handle and man them for service,” The healing power of music was the subject of a lecture delivered in London by Dr. G. Norman Meachen, ‘ who described how different melo-l dies can be used in the treatment of | ceriain disorders, ‘‘There,is a dis tinet connection between music and medicine,” said Dr. Meachen, “dating from the first recorded instance of musical treatment—when David played before Saul! to soothe his mad ness.” The lecture was illustrated with music, and Dr. Meachen ex plained the effect on patients of the different pieces, Thus, Mendels sohn's - “Wedding March” quickens heart beating and respiratory move- l ments; the seventeenth century “Ta- ! rantula Dance” is good for the bite | of the tarantula spider; Chopin's “Nocturne” in E flat, and one of Stavenhagen's “Pastcrales” are able to soothe excited brains and induce somnolence, while Godlard's “Bdf Courant” dissipates nervous wearl ness. “Music” explained the doctor, “enlarges the Dblood-vessels, and therefore causes the blood to flow more freely, whereby the digestjon is stimulated. Thus the good e::ct 4 ween of an orchestra at meals.” Georgia Briefs Items of State Interest Culled From Random Sources. Rewards for Barn Burners. ’ Upon complaint of citizens of 0816" i thorpe county that a number of barns’ | have been burned there within the llnt few months, Governor Smith, has offered a reward of SIOO for each arrest and conviction of the par ties gullty of these crimes. The most recent cases were t.he] burning of the barns of T. J. Erwin 'nnd A. H, Talmadge near Winterville! on December 15 and 18, respectively. i * =® Georgia Liberal to Old Vets. i With what care and liberality Geors| gia provides for her confederate vet- | erans is shown by the annual report'; of Btate Pension Commissioner J, W. | Lindeey, which has just been 18&'.11(3(1# for the year ending December 31, 1907, I Since 1879, this report sets forth, there has been paid out to the vet-‘ erans of this state $11,208,011.55. For | the year 1879 the pension roll carried ' $70,580. In 1907 it carried $932,685. ‘ln 1908 it is likely that $950,000 wlllf ‘be paid out. Tn 1906 the number of pensioners was 15,298; in 1907 this number had incrzased to 16,713, * * » Short Respite for Glover. . At a Jate hour Saturday afternoon, Governor Smith affixed his signature to an executive order, in which he de clined to reduce the sentence of Ar thur Glover from death to imprison ’ment for life, but he granted a res pite from Monday, January 27, at which time the condemned man was to have pald the penalty of his life, ~until Friday, January 31. The gov ;ornor felt that Glover was entitled to a few more days in which to make ~hig preparations for death. Glover was convicted for the murder of Maud Dean, his sweetheart, in Augusta. : * * * : Road Working Case Up. } The department of justice at Wash- | ington has taken up the case of the el vilian teamsters in government em ploy who are quartered at Fort Ogle thorpe, and who were arrested and imprisoned for not working on the Georgia roads. A question of the right of the local authorjties to require the men to work on the roads is at issue, | the Washington authorities holdl‘ng4l that the teamsters were bound by con- i tract to serve the national government | and that the attempt of the local au- | i thorities to take them out of the serv- ’ ice of the United States and require them to work for a definite time mi: the state roads is an interference with | the operationg of the federal govern- | ment. ‘ ¥ * * ' Cotton Association to Meet, ' The annual meeting of the Georgla; divigion of the Southern Cotton As-| sociation will be held in the senate | chamber of the state capitol at Atlanta on Wednesday, February 5. Officers will be chosen for the ensu ing year, important resolutions will be adopted relating to the work of the as- ] sociation, delegates at large will be named to go to the national conveu-l tion, It is desired that every county in the state be represented at this meet ing and county associations are urged to act at once in the matter of the se lection of delegates and to notify Pres fdent M.

An agreiultural (vain, conveying ex hibits, expert lecturers and President A. M. Soule of the State College of Agriculture, will start on its journey of 3,000 miles over the stata at Commerce on Febraury 10, at 8 o'clock in the morning. The train will reach more than 150 towns, and take one month in so do- Ing. It is the purpose of this train to confer upon the farmers of Georgia many useful and important facts re~l garding agriculture. The baggage car will be filled with exhibits, Two nas senger coachies will be vsed as lec ture rooms. live stops will be made each day, each one being in length an hour and a ha]f. It is figured that the train will reach over 300,000 citi zens, this having been taken from the last census; in this estimate, however, the larger towns are not taken in, The last stop will be made at El berton, March 14, - . . Falling Off in Tag Sales. According to reports made to the agricultural department the fertilizer tag sale is falling off considerably, this spring, from what it was last year, indicating a curtailment of acreage be ing devoted to cotton and in conse qence a diminution in the amount of money to be raised from the sale of these tags. L The eleven agricultural schools about the state and the SIOO,OOO agri cultural college at Athens, which has Justy completed such a successful “cot ton school” are supported out of these proceeds. To increase this fund a bill is now pending in the house, which will raise the price of these fertilizer tags from the present rate of ten cents a ton to twenty-five cents a ton, therefore more than doubling the sum to be secured. One of the chief fertilizers used in ' (teorgia, and throughout the south, is cotton seed meal which serves in a dual capacity of being a good fertil izer filler and in addition when mix ed with cotton seed hulls becomes the best known cattle feed. All of these district schools and the agricultural collage at Atheng urge the use of it both as a fertilizer and cattle feed. The state department of agricultm’e has sold only $6,405 worth of fertilzer inspection tags since January 1, asi compared with sales aggregating sll,- 458 for the same period of 1907, a fall ing off of $5,0563. ¢ As January and February are the big months for sales of these tags, this fact is considered as bearing out the recent statement coming from the de partment that there is prospect of large decrease in the sale and use of fertilizers as compared with last year. WESLEY MEMORIAL CHURCH Boon to be Built in Atlanta, is Am nouncement of Building Committee. Announcement was made through the daily press last week that Wes ley Memorial Church, the institutional church of Georgia Methodism, will soon be under construction. This an nouncement comes from the building committee of the church, and will be read with interest by the people of Georgia. The great movement looking to the erection of an institutional church, a hospital and a dormitory for girls was inaugursted in Atlanta on June 16, 1907, by seven of the bisheps of the Methodist Episcoal Church, South, who came at the invitation of the executive committee of the Wes ley Memorial Enterprises. On that day more than $200,000 was subscribed and since that time other subscrip tions have been made from Atlanta, other cities and from rural communi ties of the state, Wseley Memorial Hospital, which was opened about two years ago, and which was a part of thig undertaklnk, is doing splendid work, and is favor ably known throughout the state. It has been enlarged since the beginning of this movement by the addition of an annex, and from time to time fuf ther additions will be made. T dormitory for girls will be built a later date. This dormitory will fut nish a comfortable home for girls wh cannot afford to pay the prices dé manded by the best class of boardipg houses. The church, on which work will soon be begun, will be planned and equipped in accordance with mod ern ideas of institutional /church work. | The building of this church, ‘dormi tory and hogyital is of interest to the people of Goorgia outside of At lanta, because of the fact that the work will be especially among those who go to Atlanta from rural districts and towns and cities of the state. The. church will be fitted with attractions that will draw young people fromj dangerous places of amusement; the hospital is open to people of the en-j tire state, and the dormitory will care for young women who go to Atlanta from other places. Altogether the‘ movements is one whose influence will be felt throughout all of Georgia. | The purpose of this movement lsi explained in detail in a booklet which has been issued and which can be! secured upon request from the secre-{ tary of the executive committee of the Wesley Memorial Enterprise, Candler building, Atlanta. The executive committee of the en terprise is as follows: ‘R." J. Guinn, chairman; T. K. Glenn, vice chairman; Forrest Adair, Asa G. Candler, E. V. Carter, M. M. Davies, C. J. Haden, R. A. Hemphill, J. G. Lester, R. F. Mad dox, James L. Mayson, Dr. C. E. Mur phy, J. A. McCord, H. Y. McCord, J. N. McEachern, presiding elder of At lanta district, and pastor Wesley Me. morial Church. The building of this church will mark a great step fordward in rollg-l sous and moral life, and the peoplo' of Georgia will undoubtedly give their Joyal support to this church and ity fstitutions which are planned for great helpfulness to the people, e.' pecially the young people, and for can fag for the sick. : JAPS BARRED FROM AMERICA, Mikado !ssues Order Stopping Emigra. tion of His Subjects.

ANTI-LEAK SECTION Added to the Penal Code Bill Pending in House. RECALLS OLD SCANDAL Persons Who Would Surreptitiously Give Out Crop Mews to Be Branded as Criminals—Debate Was En livened by a Clash. A Washington special says: At the close of a day of excitement in the house of representatives an amend ment was added to the penal code bill Tuesday making it a criminal offense for any officer or emp'oyee of the gov ernment to give out advance informa tion regarding any crop statistics au thorized by law to be prepared. The original amendment was by Mr. Burle son of Texas, who made a strong plea for its passage, but a substitute by Mr. Sherley of Kentucky, with a brief ad dition by Mr. Olmstead of Pennsylva nia was accepted. The necessity for its adoption was conceded by nearly every member who addressd the house and its safe running of the gauntlet was greeted with applause. The amend ment was ag follows: "“Whoever, being an officer or an em ployee of the United States or a per son acting for or on hehalf of the Unit ed States in any capacity, under or by virtue of the authority of any de partment or officer thereof, and while holding such office, employment or po sition, shall, by virtue of the office, em ployment or position held by him, be come possessed of any Information which might exert an influence upon or affect the market value of any prod uct of the soil grown witkin the United States, which information is, by law or by the ruleg and practices of the de partment or office, required to be with held from publication until a fixed time and shall willfully impart, directly or indirectly, such information or any part thereof, to any person not entitled un der the law or the rules and practices of the department or office to receive the same, or shall, before such infor mation is made public through regular official channels, directly or indirectly, speculate in any such product respect ing which he has thus become possess ed of such information by buying or selling the same in any quantity, shall be fined not more than SIO,OOO or im prisoned not more than ten years, or ‘both, ~ Earlier in the day interest attached to a tilt between Mr. Dalzell of Penn sylvania and Mr. Ranicll of Texas on the latter’'s amendmernt prohibiting sen- | ators or members 4f the house being employed by public service corpora tions. Believing that Mr. Randell had insinuated that he represented such corporations at this time, Mr. Dalzeil grew indignant and declared that he had not been employed in such ca—' pacity for twenty years. The climax of the debate came when Mr. Clark of Missouri announced, amidst thunderous democratic ap plause, that William J. Bryan would be nominated at the Denver conven tion, while Mr. Bouteli of I!linois arous ed the members on his side of the house to a high pitch of enthusiasm by stating that Speaker Cannon would be the republican nominee at Chicago in June. After the Dalzell-Randel! colloquy, NMr. Payne of New York, the minority leader, denounced the Randell amend ments. He said he had full confidence in the character of the men sent to congress. He said they were picked men, of intelligence and integrity. “And,” said Mr. Payne, with a degree of sarcasm, “l don't like to see a gen tleman who happens to have a seat ! here get up with an amendment like this that casts a slur upon gentlemen that hold places in this honorable body seeking to prevent them ever engaging even in the average and ordinary avo cations in life.” MORE MEN LOSE JOBS.

Nordstrom, a former bank clerk of As toria, Oregon, was captured at May port, Fla., Thursday night. He is wanted at Chicago, where, posing as the representative of F. A. Cole & Sons, wealthy wholesale grocers of his home city, he forged the name of J. Roy Beanett, cashier of the Astoria Bank, and casihed a draft for $15,000 at the First National Bank.
