A GOOD HOUND.
Which Smelled Its Way Home
Through a Tomato Can.
Even a foxhound, whose business
it is to earn a living by his nose, must
have remarkable powers of smell to
find his way five miles through the
woods when his head is stuck in a tin
p an At least, that is the way Bert
Whitman of Los Angeles looks at It,
and he is proud of his dog Spa^k.
Spark went hunting recently with
his master, and when it became dark
he was still running a crafty old fox
up the side of Pico mountain. There
was ffe catching the hound and no call
ing him off, so Whitman left him to
return home w-hen he got ready. Fre
quently he had packed his gun down
the mountain while the hound was
still bellowing on a hot scent, and he
had no fear as to his showing up In
the night.
At 10 o'clock, when there were no
signs of Spark, Whitman left the
kitchen door ajar, placed a big pan of
mush and soup bones on the floor, and
to bed. Three hours later he
*as awakened by a clattering in the
totch#hi uni a moment later the
hound, with his head stuck into a two
gallon milk can, waddled erratically
into the bedroom.
To say that the animal’s master was
surprised is putting it mildly. At
first he was not sure that it was his
dog, but after he spoke Spark thumped
his tail and tried to climb into bed. 1
It was necessary for him to use a
can-opener to free the dog, and this
took some 15 minutes. Ail this time
Spark stood perfectly still' but the mo
ment he was released he made for his
supper and ate as if famished.
The animal probably found the can
near some camp, for it was covered
with rust. Doglike, he investigated the
interior with hopes of finding food, a w)
could not remove his head. He must
have found his way home through
scent, as it was Impossible for him
to see through the bottom of the can

Georgia Cullings
Purtailed Items of Interest
Gathered at Random.
Looms Given Tech School.
A donation of four fine looms to the
Georgia School of Technology for its
textile department makes that branch
of the state institution one of the best,
if not the first, in the United States.
Several days ago Professor Matheson
received two very expensive looms
from the Exposition cotton mills of
Atlatna, and later two more of the
same quality from the Draper Manu
facturing company of Massachusetts.
The textile department was a gr**t
department of the school prior to these
gifts, but now it is more fully equip
ped.

Safe Crackers Work In Newnan.
A gang of safeblowers got in their
work at Newnan a few nights ago
when they entered the postoffice, blew
open the safe and rifled its contents of
S3OO in money.
The robbery was committed some
time after midnight. Entrance was ef
fected through the rear door of the
building. The safe was badly shat
tered.
The police arrested two strangers on
suspicion, but beyond this there is no
clue. The work was evidently that of
professional “yeggmen,’’ who have been
operating through the state during the
past few months.

Thinks Women Will Lose.
A Washington special says: Repre
sentative Bell called upon Postmaster
General Meyer to ascertain what had
been done in the Georgia postofflee
cases. He was informed that no de
cision had been reached in regard to
withdrawing the appointments of
Messrs. Scott and McCollom, which
have been sent to the senate and held
up there upon objections entered by
the Georgia senators.
Representative Bell does not share
the belief of others who have inter
ested themselves in behalf of the Geor
gia postmistresses who have been dis
missed. He believes it is the purpose
of the postoffice department and of the
president to have the new appoint
ments stand.

School Teachers Being Paid.
State Treasurer Park, a few days
ago, paid out to the teachers of the
school system in Atlanta, the sum of
$101,749. This brings the total *ald
to the teachers of the system up to
50 per cent of the amount due them.
In a few weeks the county teachers

Thirty per cent of the amount due
the school teachers of the country dis
tricts has been paid. The additional
$225,000 will bring the total up to 50
per cent.
In order to secure the money to pay
the teachers of the Atlanta system,
it was necessary for Governor Smith
to socuro an extension ol thirty days

Some Inside History.
An article addressed to the people
of Georgia, which recently appeared
in the Augusta Chronicle from the pen
of Hon. Joseph M. Brown, dealing with
railroad matters in the state—especial
ly the muchly-discussed and “cussed”
freight rates —has been published in
pamphlet form and widely circulated.
The document gives some inside his
tory of railroad affairs in Georgia not
known to the general public. A fea
ture is the bringing to light of the
real owners of the various railroads.
It is stated that somewhat more
than half of the roads in the state
show as stockholders 1,336 ladies, 500
estate and 52 eleemosynary and edu
cational institutions the names of
which are given. Altogether the pam
phlet is Interesting, as well as “rcd
hot” reading.

Stallings New State Cnemist.
Dr. R. E. Stallings, formerly of
North Carolina, subsequently in the
United States government service as a
chemist and later chemist at the North-
Dakota Agricultural College, will suc
ceed Dr. John M. McCandless as state
chemist on January 1.
Dr. McCandless tendered his resig
nation as state chemist more than six
months ago, but has considerately re
mained with the department until such
time as Commissioner T. G. Hudson
could secure the services of a satis
factory successor.
Dr. Stallings has been connected
with the state department of chemistry
for the past three months, during which
time he has familiarized himself with
the work in this state.
Dr. McCandless has submitted his
final report to Commissioner Hudson,
end therein gives some account of his
successor, and also an important re
port on flour, in respect of adultera
tions which he considers come under
the pure food law.

Hon. Warren Lott Killed.
Waycross was shocked by the news
received Friday morning that Hon.
Warren Lott, who, for the last twenty
four years, has been the ordinary of
Ware county, and who was among
south Georgia's most prominent citi
zens, had accidentally killed himself
while out hunting.
Judge Lott and Dr. M. M. Johnson
of Waycross had gone to Waresboro,
where they were joined by George Dent
of that place, and the three gentlemen
had gone upon a quail hunt on the
farm of Henry Mullis, a short distance
from Waresboro.
At the time of the accident Dr. John
sou was some distance in front of
Judge Lott, when he heard the report
of a gun. Shortly afterwards he heard
groans, and turning he hastened to
Judge Lott, whom he found unconscious
on the ground, with his gun leaning
against the fence. Judge Lott lived
only about a minute. Before he died he
made two efforts to speak in answer
to questions propounded by Dr. John 1
ion.

Seaboard Must Make Connections.
An important decision was rendered
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion at Washington a few days ago
in the case of the Mcßae Terminal
railway against the Southern Railway
company and the Seaboard Air Line
railway. This is a supplemental re
port involving the installation of phys
ical connections and is the first decis
ion of its kind ever rendered by the
commision. Upon the facts disclosed
the commission decided that the com
plainant’s application for physical con
nections should be allowed, so far as
it relates to the Seaboard Air Line,
but should he denied as to the South
ern railway. The commission ordered
the Seaboard Air Line railway to con
struct before January 25, 1908, and
maintain and operate thereafter for
two years, a switch connection between
the line of the complainant and the
Seaboard Air Line.
Suit for Carriage Hire.
Governor Smith and the twelve other
members of the Georgia commission
tc the Jamestown exposition have been
made defendants in a suit for carr’age.
hire, growing out of the fact that
cn Georgia day a number of carriages
were rented by the Georgians for the
use of President Roosevelt and party,
and were not paid for. The suit is
brought by J. A. Pritchett, a Norfolk
liveryman, who furnished the earriages
and who demands SSOO as compensa
tion. It is alleged in the bill that
31 carriages were hired at sls per
day.
In regard to the foregoing, Commis
sioner Hudson, who is head of the
Georgia commission, stated that there
was no necessity for so many carriages,
but that the bill would be paid so soon
as the Georgia building was sold.
It is understood that the carriages
were ordered by W. N. Mitchell, com
missioner for Georgia.

Short Lines Organize.
Every short line railroad in Georgia
was represented at a recent confer
ence in Albany of officials behind clos
ed doors. The mileage represented was
25 per cent of the total in Georgia.
The Georgia Short Line Association
perfected temporary organization last
spring and this organization was made
permanent at this meeting. J. W. Og
lesby of Quitman, president of the
South Georgia railway, was elected
president.
After the meeting Mr. Oglesby made
the following statement:
•‘Today's meeting was for the pur
pose of discussing ways and means of
meeting present depressed business
conditions. It was agreed to make a
general reduction in the wages of labor,
and this will be made effective Jan
uary 1. The short lines being depen
dent mainly upon local trade fcg* their
support, have found it necessary to
cuke material reductions in expenses

to meet the reduced earnings.”
The Georgia Short Line Assc-riutiou
as now constituted will he a formidable
organization, and there is a belief that
it will he heard from in the near
future in a way to make it a more
powerful factor in railway affairs in
Georgia than has been possible with
the short lines acting independently.
Salaries of Assistants Increased.
Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson has just returned from Augus
ta, where he attended the meeting of
the state beard of entomology, at which
time plans for the conduct of this im
portant aid to the agricultural depart
ment were perfected. So great has
been the interest taken in this work
under the guidance of Professor Wor
sham, the board deemed it wise to in
crease the salaries of the assistants as
follows: Salary of the first asistant,
A. C. Lewis, from $1,200 to $1,400;
Assistants W. U. Read and W. W.
Chase, from SI,OOO to $1,200 each.
The board has $11,500 anually with
which to conduct the work of this de
partment
Professor Worsham is making a spe
cial study of the cotton stalk, and is
doing much to raise the standard of
the fibre in this 3tate. He is a great
believer in the usdibf cotton seed meal
as a compound in fertilizer, and has
repeatedly urged planters to have their
cotton seed ground into oil and into
meal, using the former for cooking
and the latter as a fertilizer compound
and cattle feed.
IMMIGRATION INCREASE.
November of This Year Shows Raise
of Twenty Five Per Cent?
A 25 per cent increase over the same
period last year in the immigration

117,476 immigrants arrived at the va
rious ports, against 94,621 in Novem

Sparks Urges Roosevelt to Let Sol

Governor Sparks of Nevada, it is
understood, is preparing a statement
of present conditions in Goldfield to

situation, notwithstanding the report
of the commission and the order of the
