Atlanta, (GGa-—A movement is being started to form an organization of thé leading sportsmen of the state for the purpose of pagsging suitable game laws and to see that the law is enforced when passed, Charles T. Hopkins of Atlanta has interested himself in this movement, and, with three others, has issued a card to the sportsmen of Georgia to co-operate in the movement, The game law now in force in Ala bama,” which is known as the stand ard game law, {8 the one thats Mr. Hopkins and his associates are hoping to pass, The first purpose of this law is to prohibit the sale of game in the state, thus stopping the promiscuous shooting of game, The other principal features of the act are to fix a license of $1 on the residents of u county for a gun, and sls dicense on a non-resi dent; to have all lands posted, so that a hunter cannot shoot on the tenant’s land without his written permission. The law has been in vogue in the state of Alabama for the past two years, and has proven a success, The following card has been issued to the sportsmen of Georgia and all who are interested in this matter and want to gee the game of the state pro tected, can become a member of the organization by sending their names to Charles 1., Davis, Warm Springs, Ga., the secretary of the new association: To the Sportgmen of Georgia: Bach of you realize that our game is rapidly vanishing to the extermination point —g result due to insufficient laws and the Indifference of those interested. Only a little active, intelligent co operation of the resl sportsmen is needed to correct the evil. 1f you are willing to give a few mo ments of your time to the procure ment of better laws and a more rigid enforcement of them, when obtained— whereby there may be game in plenty for all—then send a post card, with your name and address to Charles L.

Within a . short time-the commission will have 600 misdemeanor convicts on its hands when the wild cat camps go out of business on November 1, and it is be lieved that all of these will be taken Ly the various counties. SITE FOR MONUMENT. ‘ Americus Women Want Wirz Memo. rial in That City. Americug, Ga.—~The Americus chap ter, Daughters of the Confederacy, have requested from the county com missioners permission to erect the Wirz monumen®upon the park site ad jacent to the county court house in the event Americus is selocted as the . monument site at the Savannah con vention. The site desired is in the business center and & most advanta geous one. : THROUGHOUT THE STA For the hetter advertising of Augus ta’s great resources before the world the chamber of commerce of that city will issue a booklet descriptive of the ‘mony advantages that are to be found n the Queen City of the Savannah river valley, ' Pensions for the fourth quarter are not expected by Bibb county veterans until about the first of December, Thoze who have called upon Ordinary ‘l‘.‘\'ih»y for information concerning the ipaymem of the fourth installment ‘have been told that the money would |be zent as soon as it could be se cured by the commiszion, < - Ordinary John R, Wilkinson of Ful ton county issued a marriage license to two well known old colored people of Atlanta, namely, Isaac Bell, aged 76, and.Sallic Craig, aged 86. It was - stated by both parties to the ap proaching coniract that they had heen sWeethearts since childhood, but that unfortunate circumstances had pre vented their union before this time. Collections by the receivers of the Exchange bank of Macon were slow during the month of Septemoef, as the monthly report which was filed in the superior court gives less than $4,000 as the amount taken in dnring the month, This means that another idividend is not yet in sight unless col. ‘lectlons grow more rapidly and a smaller dividend is declared. So far ‘the bank has paid 65 per cent of iig indebtedness and hopes to bring the ‘amount up to at least 75 before the end of the year, : ~ After a consultation with attorney General Hart Secretary of State Phil Cook has announced that the election managers in the national election are required by law to make two sep arate returns, one to the governor and another to the secretarw of state. Ae cording to the law as interpreted by the two officials, the managers will be required to make returns for elec tors and congressmen io the govern or, while returns for the vote on con stitutional amendments must be made to the secretary of state, The prison commission has been notified of the escape of Jim Council, a convict, from the Durham coal mines, in North Georgia, Council was sentenced from Bibb county, for a term of fifteen years for burglary. With Oliver Brown he made his es cape by climbing through the air shaft of the mine during the working hours. Brown was captured before getting beyond the range of the guards, Macon will be better off next year with the additional convicts that will be secured from the state as a result of the passage of the anti-lease bill. Heretofore Bibb county has been get ting about fortyfive convicts from the state each year, but the new reg ulations will give the county fifty or more, Should the smaller counties not want the full pro rata share of convicts Bibb will put in an applica tion for more of them. They will be needed badly in road building and in making other improvements. John A. Betjeman of Albany,*igc retary of the committee in charge of the arrangements for the southern in dustrial and commercial congress, which meets in Washington, D, C., in December, is in Columbus in the in terest of the project. He has already taken up the matter of Columbus’ rep resentation with leading members ‘of the board of trade, and it is hepeN that interest in the congress will be aroused. Ben 1. Jones of Macon who receiv ed word that he is the heir of a for tune amounting to $200,000 from his uncle, Nat Jones, in Arkansas, has left for the west to look after his in terests in the estate, A letter was re ceived at Macon stating that Nat Jones, whn was a brother of Ben L. Jones,” father, had died leaving the vast fortume and that Mr. Jones of Macon was the only heir. The Munson Steamship line has brought suit against the South Atlan tic Car and Manufacturing company of Waycross for $36,000, claiming this amount for alleged loss in their prep aration to handle a shipment of three hundred cars from Savannah to Pana ma, The car company had a contract abouj two years ago with the United States government for three hundrer flat cars for use on the Panama rail road, but owing to the destruction of ‘the Savannah plant by fire had to can ce] the contract. The steamship com pany claims in its suit that they had larranged to handle the cars from Sa |vaunah to Colon, and want judgment for not only $36,000, but interest ]theremx for nearly two years. The cage will come up for trial before ‘Judge Emory Speer, Valdosta, at the ‘next term of United States court, Macon hopes to secure the Wirz monument to add to her present col lection and if she is successful it will be placed at the corner of Cotton ave nue and the triangular block, near the Commercial bank building., The selec tion of the city in which the monu ment is to be-placed is in the hards of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and at the annual reunion of the or ganization in Savannah, some ity will be picked out, Macon stands a splenaid chance of getting the monu ‘ment because of the splendid site that can be used, An eclection for municipal officers | for the town of Martin for the egsu-‘ ing year was held resulting as fol lows: L. V. Matherson, mayor; I, M.‘ ;\\'afters. T, J. Young, W. B. Mitchell, G. L. Nelms, H. A. Rankin, council }men. There was quite an interesting [rm‘p for mayor between L. V. Mather son and R. F. Garner, the only candi ‘dates for that office, resulting in a ma ltorlty of four for Matheson. A Dbeautiful Georgia marble inonu ment, dedicated to the memory of the Confederate dead, will be erected on the streets of Lawrenceville by the chapter of the Daughters of the Con federacy of that city, The monument will stand twenty-iwo feet high and %will be capped with a life-size statué ‘of a Confederate soldier done in im hsorted Italian marble, It will be erect {ed on the court house square and will be completed in time for the unveil ing which will probably take place os next decgration day. . Lumber and Coal Supply of Na tion is Diminishing Fast. Goverument Commission Has Been Ap pointed to Inquire Into Nation’s Resources. Chicago, Ill.—Over fifteen million people, or more than half the total wage-earners in the TUnited States, are directly dependent for their live lihood wupon coal, iron, timber, the soil and other natural resources which are rapidly being exhausted, ac cording to figures which have just been compiled by the (eonservation league of America, According to the league, the avoidable waste of the nation’s wealth is reaching alarming proportions, yet few people realize the extent to which the country as a whole will be affected by measures designed to check this waste, It was with the intention of clearing up this point that the present investigation was undertaken, and the results, which are now made public, disclose some interesting facts, The first subject to receive atten tion was lumber, According to the last census report 962,876 persons in the United States are engaged in the lumber business, or as carpenters and joiners, cabinet-makers and the like, are dependent upon the lumber bus iness for their livelihood. These have already been affected by the exhaus tion of fimber in the east and middle west and are vitally concerned in the efforts of the government to conserve as much of the remaining supply as possible. According to the experts of the forest service at Washington our present rate of cutting is three times that of growth, and at this rate the remaining supply of timber will hardly last thirty years. S The coal supply is also threatened with exhaustion. Anthracite coal is timed to last but fifty years. Bitumi nous coal will not be exhausted un til later, but unless a check is put upon the present uneconomical meth ods of mining, which have already wasted as much coal as has been mined, it will not outlast the next century. The total number of coal miners, according to the figures now made available, is 244,292, to which are to ke added over 200,000 coal and wood dealers and stationary engineers and firemen, making a total of 604,180 per sons who are directly dependent upon coal for their work, and who would have to change their occupation if coal should give out, In addition to the workers in these important industries, the farmers are beginning to take a keen interest in conservation, in five or six different ways., Soil exhaustion, erosion, irri gation, drainage, waterways, and the regulation of water supply by the for ests on the headwaters and source streams of the larger rivers are all matters that directly affect the farm ers’ pocketbook. For this reason fig ure of the total number of persons dependent for their livelihocod upon the soil or dealing in the products of the soil is particularly interesting. it reaches the enormous total of 10,- 644,154 or over a third of the total number of persons engaged in gainful occupations in the United States. As a result of this investigation, Uncle Sam will, for the first time, know just the extent of his inheri tance and whether he has been using it wisely or ill. TOWN SWEPT BY FLAMES Loss at Bisbee, Arizona, Estimated at a Million Dollars. El Paso, Texas.—The town of Bis bee, Ariz., was swept by fire. The loss is variously estimated at between a million and a million and a half dol lars, This is the biggest fire in the history of the city, and more than fif ty acres of the business and residence section were swept clean. It is believe that several persons lost their lives, especially in the work of dynamiting, as many are unaccount ed for who were at work with the“ fighters in their mad effort to save the city, The town of Bishee was founded twenty years ago and is at present a city of about 25,000 inmhabitants, Spectacular Fire in Chicago. Chicago, Ill.—Property valued at al most §1,000,000 was destroyed by a fire which consumed the Internation al Salt company's docks, and fifty freight cars. The fire was one of the most spee tacular that has been witnessed in Chicago for many years, Thought Gun Unloaded. Fernandina, KFla.—A terrible trag edy was enacted here, when Christi na Kelly, the eight-yvear-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John Kelly, was acci dentally shot by Barnard Cone, a lad of fourteen years, death resulting im mediately, Young Cone had just returned from a hunting irip, and was in front of his home with several children gath ered around him. He playfully rais ed his gun, which he thought to be unloaded, when the trigger was aeci dentally pulled, emptying the entire load of shot in the body of the little girl, who dropped dead without even a moan. ~ Bodies of Suicides Cremaied. | New York City.—The ashes of the ' bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Bauen of DBrooklyn, who carried out to the fatal end a double suicide ' pact, were taken to Nassau Beach and floated on the waters of Jamaica Bay. The place chosen for this gtrange ceremony is, as near as may be identified, the spot where the hus. band and wife, each aiding the other, ‘bound themselves with cords ".and ‘awaited the coming tide that engulfed iAo, A S o R Y § g g ALBANY WHISKEY COMPANY, 115-117 BRIDGE ST.

Every national campaign gives occa sion to men of original ideas to in vent some catchy device which, be cause of the interest engendered by the national fight, will be sold by the thousand. One of the most ingenious things put on the market this year is a small tablet, like & medicine pellet, which, when dissolved in a finger bowl, resolves itself into a picture of Taft or Bryan, as the case may be. Already thousands of these tablets have Deen sold to New York hotels and restaurants, Eugene V., Debs, in Philadelphia, said “Roosevelt has reduced the of fice of president to the level of the ward heeling politician, With the re publicans it is Wall street and Taft, and with the democrats it is Tam many and graft.” Mr. Bryan, in his speech before the University of Nebraska, called Gov ernor Hughes a “defender of trusts,” called attention to the contributions of Morgan, Rockefeller and others to hig campaign fund and described him as a doctor who laughed at the pre scription given by another physician, though refusing to furnish a prescrip tion of his own. Mr. Taft has finished his tour of Ohio, making sixteen speeches, He de voted much time to the labor question and defended his decisions when on the bench in labor cases. He said labor conditions had thrived under the law as he had laid it down. He repeat ed his woman suffrage sentiments. " Mr. Sherman, speaking in New Jer sey, said Bryan was ‘‘dangerous” be cause he was sincere and would not be if he 'wereva faker, ; Governor Hughes in New York spoke at Oswego, Waverly and Elmira to large audiences. He said the indi cations for the election of “Taft and Sherman, are very gratifying;” that he would sign no bills for popularity and “my family is largely dependent upon the insurance companies if any thing happens to me.” Ex-Senator W. A, Clark, of Montana will stump for Bryan, whose election, he says, would help and not hurt bus iness interests. . Samuel Gompers issued an appeal to laboring men to vote for Bryan. He called Taft the “originator and specific champion of discretionary government” and said “despotic pow er is as dangerous under ermine as under the crown.” The total registration im New York is 681,602, which is 6,789 less than in 1904, the last presidential year, and 22,382 greater than in 1908. Republican doctrine received unex pected publicity through democratic channels when two van loads of cam paign literature were unloaded in the mailing room of demeecratic national headquarters in Chicago. The litera ture intended for ‘republican head quarters, a block away, was written in Bohemian, Lithuanian and Salvish and before it was diseovered that the documents were appeals for the elec tion of Mr. Taft, most of the literature was mailed to the voters. “If we had twenty-five speakers and SIO,OOO we could carry Georgia at this electicn,” says Eugene V. Chafin, pro hibition candidate for president in a speech at Logansport, Ind. ‘“The par ty that is defeated will go to smash and drop out of existence. The only real issue in the campaign is prohi , bition, There is no power on earth that can prevent the prohibition party from electing a president in 1912.” Treasurer Ridder's figures showed that the democratic naticnal commit tee’'s campaign fund figures up to Oc tober 9 was $248,567, of which all but $22,604 had been expended., Chairman | Mack gave out a supplemental state ment showing receipts of $12,556 from seventy contributors bhetween Qctober 9 and 14. Mr, Bryan concluded his tour of Ne braska, speaking to large crowds, and left for Denver. He called President Roosevelt an imitator, said every pre “datory corporation in the coutary is back of Speaker Cannon and that if Cannon’s most intimate friend, Sher man, was chosen to preside over the senate the people would be unable to obtain any remedial legislation. Mr. Taft received a warm walcome in Kentucky and made speeches in several cities, For the first time in some time he discussed the question of guaranteeing bank denosits, Un fortunately a chair broke under him and he fell to the floor. His careful inspection of the next chair offered caused laughter, Ignoring the ° protestations and screams of Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, who was disrobing for the night, a deputy sheriff smashed in the door of the editor's compartment of a Union Pacific traii at Omaha;, Néb,, and served him with,papers of the no | tification suit for ",3&;.000 ‘that had 4 been brought against him” for sslan { der and libel by Goyvernor Haskel] of 1 Oklahoma, ; : - Bottled Goods.

Tabloid Milk. 3 Milk that has been watered, miik that contains microbes, milk that has lost every trace of any cream it may originally have contained—such miik is to be a thing of the past if a London inventor’s scheme works, \ A process of solidifying milk has Deen invented, which, it is affirmed, will, besides banishing all the dangers associated with the dairy, in the course of time do away with the dairy itself, says the Philadelphia Xorth American. can, By this method the liguid milk is whisked arvound burnished eylinders kept at a fierce temperature by steam until, after a few seconds, it comes off in the form of a continnous creamy white sheet. This is then reduced to powder, and may be compressed into cakes, But, in spite of this severe treatment, the product still remains pure milk, and the addition of seven parts of water is all that is requisite to restore it to the form of new milk. Cream rises upon it naturally, and butter and cheese can be readily manufactured. Helping Out the Law’s Allowance. They do say that this actually hap pened in tliis county ' not a great while ago. ! It wes a part of the incidentals at a wedding of some note. The minister had just finished the ceremony when he was accosted by the groom; “Say, how mmeh do you charge?’ asked the new Benedict. “oh,” said the minister, “I 1 malke no specific charges for sorvices of this kind, usuglly being satistied with what ever sum the generosity of the happy sroom may prompt him to give. The law, however, - allows me a fee of $2.50.” - “All right.” sald the groom, handing the minister a piece of silver, “There’s another dollar. That makes $3.50.
