Georgia Girls Handiwork, Dis
played at Capitol, Makes
Optimists of Pessimists.
By a Mere Man
The boys corn show in the Capi
tol is most interesting and highly
creditable. Every Georgian must
be proud of the youngsters re
sponsible for that splendid exhibit,
and everybody who attends the
show 7 applauds and approves the
same.
Nevertheless and notwithstand
ing, to my mind the girls pickles
and preserves show is even better.
It is more immediately interest
ing, anyway.
The pickles and preserves show
comes upon the visitor as more or
less of a surprise, for one thing.
He isn’t looking for anything of the
kind, for not much has been said
about it in the newspapers. Be
fore he knows it, he stumbles upon
it —and then his “ohs,” “ahs” and
“urns," bursting from him involun
tarily and actually before he Is w’ell
aware the why, bespeak his rejady
recognition of the beautiful and the
genuinely good.
Nothing Like It in the Stores.
No fancy grocery store in Atlan
ta today can, or does,* show such
fine specimens of the pickling and
preserving art—an art that runs
the scale from sour* to sweet and
back again—as this girls exhibit
shows In the state capltol. It whets
the appetite to stroll through it.
The blackberry jam calls up vi
sions of “the good old days,” when
Ijattercakes were the solids of
which breakfasts inevitably were
built, and jam the cement with
which the glorious whole was held
together until the initial act of as
similation took place!
Shall such eating be provided for
mortals again in this world —shall
the tender grace of the jam that is
gone ever come back to me?
Like Grandma Used to Make.
Mayhap, and the girls pickles and
preserves show make that profound
and lasting impression upon visi
tors it surely should!
Such pickles—like grandma used
to make —you know! And every
thing that can be canned, for that
girls show has been canned—to
matoes, wax beans, corn, butter
beans, all sorts of berries, beets,
even Irish potatoes. And pickles—
cucumbers, artichokes, peaches,
green tomatoes and cauliflower.
As for mixed things—one may be
puzzled to know what to call them,
but one knows they are ticklish to
the palate, all right!
There are fruit juices and jel
lies on display in the girls show

HARD UP, PACKERS
FORMED TRUST TO
NEGOTIATE LOAN
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4. —That the pack
ing companies were hard up in 1902
and were forced to organize the Na
tional Packing Company in order to ne
gotiate a loan was the principal point
in the argument of Attorney Ralph
Crews, of the packers' counsel, in his
reply to the charges raised by Assist
ant Attorney General Revelle, of the
state of Missouri.
Crews, in his argument, declared that
in 1902 Charles Armour, Edward Mor
ris and Gustavus F. Swift, heads of
the three packing companies whose
Missouri owned concerns the state la
seeking to oust, were hard up and were
forced to negotiate a loan from Kuhn.
Loeb & Co., to meet an obligation of
$8,000,000 due the First National bank
of New York city. The National Pack
ing Company, which took in the St.
Louis Dressed Beef arjd Provision
Company and the Hammond Packing
Company of St. Joseph, was organized
by Armour, Morris and Swift as indi
viduals, the stock being held by them
and in their names. That the organ
ization of the National Packing Com
pany was necessary to secure the loan
constituted the chief argument raised
by Mr. Crews.

“THANK YOU” PEEVES

that would put to shame the ordi
nary commercial articles. All the
way from the pale and delicate un
fermented juice of the scupper
nong grape to the deep and royal
purple of the Concord, the girls
pickles and preserves show has in
finite variety.
Conquest Is Complete,
My hat is off in admiration and
great respect for those splendid
girls!
It may be that I, a mere man,
have been reached via a familiar
road —a sort of primrose path, as
it were—whereon womankind for
many moons has walked to con
quer. It matters not—the con
quest is complete and the victory
abiding!
The girls pickles and preserves
show is a wonderful thing to see—a
sight that turns pessimism into op
timism and doubt into a hope that
will not be denied.
One will do well to take his
lunch with him if he expects to
linger long in the pickles and pre
serves show. It is sure to arouse
in the spectator a mighty and a
powerful desire to eat!
HIS BOY SHALL HAVE
AS GOOD A COACH AS
JOHN D.’S GRANDSON
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—When William
Barry, of Winnetka, learned that John
D. Rockefeller’s grandson, Fowler Mc-
Cormick. 15-year-old son of Harold F.
McCormick, was being coached by Mor
decai Brown in the art of shooting “ins”
and “outs,” he announced that his son,
William Burry, Jr., prospective Har

paces immediately, possibly as a pupil
of Christy Mathewson, the New York
Giants’ star twirler.

“And you say it’s in powder, and a little over half a teaspoonful stirred

BERGER AGENT
OF PESSIMISM
Socialist Sees Dire Conditions
For Future, and End of
Solid South.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Declaring
that “if it had not been for Mr. Roose
velt and his semi-Socialist platform,
the Socialists would undoubtedly have
polled 2,000,000 votes” in the last elec
tion, instead of 1,000,000, Representative
Victor Berger, the only Socialist in con
gress, predicted today that the new
Democratic administration under Pres,
ident-elect Wilson would fail to satisfy'
the people and that there would be a
big industrial panic in the course of
the next two years.
"The Republican party was smashed,
but the Democratic party was almost
repudiated,” says Berger, analyzing the
result of the election and pointing out
that Wilson had 1,1(00,000 less votes
than William J. Bryan polled four
years ago.
“The Democratic party, of course,”
continued Berger, "will have all the
Federal offices for four years and is,
therefore, jubilant. But it will also
have all the responsibilities and trou
bles during the next four years that
the Republican party has had in the
past.
“In other words, while the Republi
cans were defeated because they were
conservative, the Democrats will get
theirs because they are reactionary.
“And the poor Democratic party is
controlled by a coalition of the South
and Tammany. It can not help being
reactionary.
"An industrial panic is due in about
a year. That will mean ‘Democratic
hard times' and ‘soup kitchens.’ This
time the panic will strike the South,
break up the solid South and give rise
to riots and disturbances.
“There is really no difference between
the Democratic and Republican parties
as the parties now stand in congress.
Formerly the pie counter formed the
bridge that connected the factions of
the Democratic party, but there is not
political pie enough to supply all the
hungry Democratic statesmen.”
HUMAN CUSHION SAVES
MAN IN 40-FOOT FALL
CHICAGO, Dec. 4. —A human cushion
probably saved the life of John Pren
dergast when he fell 40 feet down a
caisson for a new bridge being con
structed over the South Branch of the
Chicago river at West Thirty-fifth
street. John Galligher, working in the
bottom of the caisson, was the cushion.
Prendergast had just given a signal for
the engineer to hoist when he was
scooped into the caisson by a steam
shovel. At the bottom he struck Gal
ligher. Prendergast escaped with a
broken leg. Galligher had the wind
knocked out of him.
WELL-TO-DO FARMER
SLAIN BY NEIGHBOR,
WHO MAKES ESCAPE
GUYTON, GA., Dec. 4.—W. A. Usher,
a well-ift-do farmer of the Okey dis
trict of the northern part of Effingham
county, is dead and Randolph Mercer,
a neighbor, is a fugitive sought by the
sheriff of this county on a warrant
charging murder. Usher’s body lay by
the roadside near Mercer’s home all
night before his family and friends
knew of the tragedy. In the meantime
Mercer had fled and had a start of sev
eral hours on the officers.
Usher, Mercer and others of the Okey
district were together in the afternoon
at the home of Usher's son-in-law. The
men, it is said, were drinking. Early In
the night Usher and Mercer left the
house together, Usher taking Mercer
home. What took place on the way
is not known. When they reached Mer
ctr's home he went in the house, se
cured a shotgun, came out and fired
the contents into Usher’s body, killing
him Instantly. Leaving the body lying
by the road, he fled.
Both Usher and Mercer left large
families. The tragedy has created con
siderable excitement in the Okey dis
trict.
PASSENGERS
STEAMED TO DEATH IN
DEBRIS OF R. R. WRECK
ZANESVILLE, OHIO, Dec. 4.
Three more victims died today as a
result of last night's wreck on the
Pennsylvania lines tep miles east of
here, near Dresden. Ohio. The list of
dead now reaches eleven. The dead and
injured were brought here.
A passenger engine, westbound, on
the Zanesville division, plowed into the
rear coach of a train bound for Zanes
ville from the Cleveland division. The
engine and car were telescoped. The
entire length of the car was piled on
top of the engine and extended from the
pilot to the tender.
Without a moment's warning the
crash came. Passengers were hurled
from their seats, and every avenue of
escape cut off. They were literally
cooked alive from escaping steam from
the engine beneath them.
