VOLUME XIiI. NUMBER 9.
GOTTON GRADES READY
Standards Are to Be Distributed
By the Government.
The Adoption of the Established Stand
ards of the Different Grades Will
Help Cotton Interests.
Washington, D. C.—Ready for dis-‘
tribution in about three weeks, are
the sets of cotton standards which
have been prepared by the bureau of
plant industry, department of agricul
ture, under an act of congress mak
ing appropriations for the secretary
of agriculture to establish a stand:
ard for the different grades of cot
ton, etc. FEach set prepared repre
gents fine grades, and the price per
set has been fixed by the department
at $35. The bureau of plant indus
try has about 175 sets for distribu
tion through purchase, in accordance
with the act, and it was officially
stated that the entire output had
been engaged.
The grades, as prepared under the
standardization act, are based entire
ly on color and dirt, and have noth
ing to do with the length and the
strength of the cotton fiber. The de
partment hopes and expects that the
next appropriation for standardization
work will provide for the inclusion
of these important factors in the
fixing of the grades.
It was stated at the department of
agriculture that the established
grades would have been made public
ere this but for the recommendation
of the committee of cotton experts
that they be held back, as the con
tracts for current deliveries had been
based upon present practices. Some
cotton exchanges, however, have had
copies of sets, although they have
not been formaly and finally passed
upon. Within the next three or four
weeks a committee of experts will
pass on the standards, and this last
formality will make the sets distrib.
utable by sale. ;
The experts who will place the offi
cial 0. k on the sets probably will
include, besides the department ex
perts, representatives of the dfifferent
interests of the trade, who have al
ready given assistance in the work of
standardization. Four or five experts
probably will be selected from the
Akers of Atlanta; Lewis M. Parker,
president of the Olympic Manufactur
ing Company of Greenville, “S. C.;
Jules Mazerat, chairman classification
committee New Orleans cotton ex-;
change, and seven representatives of
eastern and southeastern cotton man
ufacturing companies.
Officials of the department of agri
culture said that they entertained no
misgivings for the adoption of the
work of the standardization commit
tee hy the cotton interests. They
fgel that an ideal standard has been
prepared, and its acceptance will be
universal. The Farmers’ Union is un
derstood to have endorsed the grades
as now officialized. The adoption of
the grades, however, is not compul
gory, as in standards of weights and
measures, but there is no doubt that
the established standard for Lhe dif
ferent grades of cotton,.doing away
as it does with hurtful inequalities
because of the absence of a uniform
standard, will be generally accepted
by the cotton interests as a reform
of great benefit.
NUMBER OF U. S. EMPLOYES.

Washington, D. C.—The personnel

GHOULS VAKE BABY'S BODY.
Fiends Rocb Grave of Infant Son of
Montzna Millionaire.
Great Falls, Mont.—One of the most
fiendish crimes ever committed in
this vicinity was brought to light
when the sexton of Highland Ceme
tery found that some time during the
night the grave of the infant son of
Harfield Conrad, son of William Con
rad, the Great Falls millionaire bank
er and former candidate for the dem
ocratic vice presidential nomination,
had been opened and the body of|
the <hild made away with. Th~ only|
veason which can be ascribed for the|
crime is that the perpetrator desired
to hold the body for ransom. Thel
child died a y=ar ago.
TO CONSERVE FUEL.
Railroads Making Tests to Determine
Waste of Fuel.
Washington, D, C.—Ninety million
tons of coal, one-fifth of the total pro
duction of the country, were consum
ed by the fifty.one thousand locomo
tives in the United States in 1906 in
hauling freight and passenger trains.
This fuel cost the railroad companies
$170,500,000.
This enormous consumption of coal
by the railroads led the United States
geological survey through its techno
logical branch, to conduct a series of
tests on a locomotive to determine
whether or not there could he a sav
ing to the country in the amount of
fuel used and the results have just
been announceed in a bulletin of the
survey,
Professor W. F. M. Goss, now dean
of the s University of Illinois, who
has charge of the experiments makes
the statement that of the total, ninety
million tons of coal used, ten million
and eighty thousand tons are lost
through the heat in the gases that are
discharged from the stacks of the Jo
comotives; eight million six hundred
and forty thousand tons are lost
cinders and sparks: five million and
forty thousand tons are lost through
radiation, leakage of steam and wa
ter; two million eight hundred and
eighty thousand tons are lost through
unconsumed fuel in the ashes; and
seven hundred and twenty thousand
tons are lost through the incomplete
combustion of gases. In addition,
eighteen million tons are consumed
in starting fires, in moving the loco
motive to its train, in backing trains
into or out of sidings and in keeping
the locomotive hot while standing.
“Under ideal conditions of opera
tion,” says Professor Goss, “much of
the fuel thus used could be saved,
and it is reasonable to expect that
the normal process of evolution in
railroad practice will tend gradually
to bring about some reduction in the
consumtion thus accounted for,
COMPEL MEN TO MARRY.
So Says Preacher in a Sermon to Chi

Chicago, Ill.—“ There is only one
gßood reason for not getting married.
and that is ill health,” said Rev. Fred

more to commend it than such an ex:

he does not ask, then let her ask

speak out and ask for what you want?
It is a useless conventionality and a
silly custom, any way we look at i

Comptroller Wright Predicts
Great Wealth in Georgia Soil.
Young Men Advised to Invest in Farm
Lands---Prosperous Year for the
- Farmers. ]
Atlanta, Ga.—Comptroller General’
William A. Wright has great faith
in the future of Georgia agricultural
ly, and advises young men with ‘mon- |
ey to invest to put it in good farm
lands, rather than city property.
“This state is coming into an era
of prosperity such as it has never
known before,” says General Wright."
“State banks everywhere are fairly
bursting with money, and most of it
belongs to the farmers. You can
make inquiry of the small banks all
over Georgia and you will find that
the bulk of their deposits belong to
tillers of the soil. A
“Full realization of the tremendous
possibilities of Georgia as an agri
cultural state is just now coming to
the people, and I believe you will see
a marked trend back to tho farms
in the next'few years by live, pro-.
gressive young men. The agricultural
schools are educating the young men
to know how to farm, to get the best
results out of the soil and to apply
business methods to that work. B
“It has been a great year for this
state. While Texas and other great
cotton growing states have fallen off
tremendously in the crop oufput this
year, Georgia will produce almost a
normal crop, and you can see what
that means to the farmer with the
high range of prices. He is learning |
to raise corn, wheat, oats and other |
crops, too. It has been a great corn
year. Lands seemingly worn out have
by fertilization and intelligent hand
ling been made to produce 75 to 100
bushels of corn per acre. iy
“Less than a dozen states must pro- '
duce practically the cotton for the
world. That condition will not |
change. With the demand for cot-|
ton increasing the world over, it canf|
be seen what the future holds out}
for the young man in Georgia. Th!{z
state is destined to become one of/|
the greatest agricultural states ind]
the union, and that means solid an@
permanent wealth.
“My advice to young men is to in:
vest their surplus money in good fe
lands.--Prices -must. inavitably: go up+
and up. The demand is increasing all
the time, and will increase as realizas
tion of what can be accomplished
dawns upon all the people. I expect
to see within the next few years
such a development of agricultural
pursuits as has not been scen in the
history of the state.”
General Wright has been comptroll
er of the state for 30 years, and he
hias had exceptional advantages for
observing conditions in the state. As
the state tax official he has watched
and knows perfectly the value ol
farm and other lands |
FAMOUS PLAY COMING.
“The Servant in the House” Will Be
Seen Eight Times in Atlanta.
Atianta, Ga. — Theatergoers wili
have an opportunity to see the most
widely discussed play on the Amer
ican stage 'when Charles Rann Ken
nedy’s famous drama, “The Servant
in the House” comes to the Grand
opera house in Atlanta on Monday,
December 6th, for an entire week’s
engagement, with matinees on Wed
nesday and Saturday.
This is the play which the New
York Evening Post says is the “Great
est drama of the generation,” and
“the best example of dramatic work
now extant;” which Harper’'s Maga
zine calls “the most remarkable play
in the Englisn language,” and which
the Chicago Daily News says is ‘the
most beautiful play of all ages.” The
Chicage Tribune says “The Servant
in the House” is a “work of art that
is true enough and simple enough to
touch the heart of the world.” The
Canadian Magazine proclaims it a
truly great play and says that in Mr.
Kennedy England has found “ a
great dramatic genius, possibly the
greatest since Shakespeare.” The
Chicago Journal says on the morning
after its first presentation in the
Windy City, “it has come to stay ten
weeks, it ought to stay a year.” “The
Servant in the House” has been call
ed the most daring play ever present
ed on the American stage hecause of
the character that gives it its name—
a mysterious Hindoo who many crit
ics call a reincarnation of the Christ.
It is, indeed, a daring role, but go rev
erently and intelligently treated by
the author that no offense is given to
even the most easily shocked. The
company presenting *“The Servant in
the House” has won a reputation sec
ond only to that achieved by the play.
It is known as the Henry Miller As
soclate players and is the best bal
anced cast ever assembled to interp
ret a really 'great drama,
