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!

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. LAD SHOT DEAD PLAYING HOLD-UP_JOKE ON FRIEND OWENSBORO, KY„ Dec, 4.—An at tempt to play a “highwayman joke” caused a tragedy last night. Clifford Burden, 23, was returning home when a figure stepped from behind a tree and commanded, “Hands up!" Instead Burden fired and killed Claude White, seventeen, a neighbor and friend, “THANK YOU” PEEVES JUDGE; STIFFENS FINE NEW YORK, Dec. 4. —When August Miller, chauffeur, said “Thank you" to Magistrate Krotel for fining him $lO for permitting his automobile to smoke, the judge grew peeved and fined him another $5. 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 vard student, would be put through his paces immediately, possibly as a pupil of Christy Mathewson, the New York Giants’ star twirler. As A ynv “My goodness, you don’t mean to tell me that little can costs Fifty Cents?” “Makes about 100 cups? Well, that’s different.’’ “Let’s see. that’s about half a cent a cup.” “And you say it’s in powder, and a little over half a teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water makes Postum instantly, and with a perfect fla vour?” “Well, that surely would be a comfort.” “Oh yes, some members in most every family have stomach or nervous trouble with coffee, and it’s fine to have a snappy beverage like Pos tum that don’t break down the nerves.” “I’m glad vou brought to my attention this INSTANT POSTUM Thanks.” 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.

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.

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 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.
