Governor Brown's drinking gourd
has disappeared. What has become
of it is a question that is much
mooted about the capitol. All sorts
of questions have been asked, both
of Secretary Ulni and the other offi

decisive answer. The general opin
ion Is that some visiting admirer of
the governor carried away the fa

BUILDING FINE ROADS
Convicts Are Doing Good Work on
Georgia Pikes
Atlanta, Ga. —Just how effective
the system of working convicts on the
public roads is will be definitely as
certained acting under definite in
structions from the prison commis
sion.
On April first, last, the new convict
law went, into effect and since that
time many counties have been vigor
ously at work building pikes. It is
desirable to have information bear
ing on the number of miles of new
road built since then, the character
and kind of road and the different
kind of material used. The inspectors
are, therefore, now working on this
data, and will submit it to the com
mission within the next few weeks.
It is believed much general infor
mation can be procured in this way,
and that data of very great value can
be compiled out of the experiences,
both good and bad, of the various
counties. Up to this time the com
mission has been busied with system
atizing the work, and getting the
camps into working shape.
On the wall of the commission aud
ience chamber hangs a map, which
shows the exact location of every
county convict camp in the state. A
green dot shows felony camps and
red dots misdemeanor camps. There
, are now 140 camps in the state, al
though only 107 counties work con
victs on the road. Thirty-nine coun
ties, and the majority of these in
I the northern part of the state where
I the mountain counties He, are with
out convicts, renting their quota to
other counties. It is said, however,
that the widespread good roads move
j inent has Inspired several of these to
I emulation, and in a short time they
' will demand their quota.
Through the middle second of the
state the map shows the camps stud
i ded more thickly than anywhere else,
some counties maintaining four, three
and two camps. Road building is ad
vancing very rapidly in this section,
and the report from there is expected
to be especially good.
From the general reports made to
the prison commission general results
over the state from road building
movements are very gratifying. Many
counties are bending every resource
for fine pikes, in many Instances sup
plementing by large sums the orina
ry expense of maintaining the con
vict labor.
It is the opinion of the commission
ers that tlie reports to be made by
the inspectors will be of groat value,
and will make a showing that will bo
In the nature of amazing to. many
who have not kept posted on the
movement.
Very little trouble is reported at
any of the camps and the general
health of the convicts is excellent.
CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO
From the latest obtainable statis
tics it appears that in France the con
sumption is 2.2 pounds per capita:
in England, 2 pounds; in Austria, 2.1*
pounds; in Hungary, 2.4 pounds; in
Hally, 1.1 pounds, and in the United
States a little over 6 pounds for ev
ery man, woman and child, or over
17 pounds for every male citizen over
16 years of ago. in other words, the
consumption of tobacco in this coun
try is from three to six times what
it is in most civilized countries. Since
1870 the increase of per capita con
sumption in the United States has
been over 250 per cent., compared to’
25 per cent for France and 56 per
cent for England.
Equally surprising is the difference
in the revenue obtained from tobacco
taxes by different countries. For in
stance, according to a table prepared
by the department of commerce and
labor, the average combined Internal
revenue and custom taxes on tobacco
in the United States is 17 cents a
pound; in Great Britain, 74 cents a
pound; in Italy, 93 cents a pound; in
Austria, 40 cents a pound; in Hun
gary. 33 cents a pound; in France, 85
cents a pound.
Last year we obtained $87,000,000
of revenue from tobacco. If the
French taxes had been applied to our
consumption, we would have received
over $436,000,000. If the British taxes
had been applied we would have re
ceived $380,000,000.
It is shown that if France had a
per capita consumption equal to that
of the United States and applied her
present tobacco taxes, she would re
ceive $200,000,000 a year instead of
$75,000,000. The same process in
Great Britain would bring $192,000.-
000 a year instead of $64,000,000.
Many people delude themselves by
saying “‘lf will wear away,” when
they notice symptoms of kidney and
bladder trouble. This is a mistake.
Take Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and
stop the drain on the vitality. It
cures backache, rheumatism, kidney
and bladder trouble, and makes every
trace of pain, weakness, and urinary
trouble disappear. Sold by all drug

COTTON-SEED OIL AND MEAL
Industry Has Become an Important
Factor in Development of South
Up to 50 years ago cotton seed had
little or no commercial value, its pos
sibilities not having been fully real
ized; even 30 years ago, there were
only 40 cotton-seed oil mills in the
United States. It is only in the last
20 years, indeed, that the cotton-seed
oil industry has become a vitally im
portant factor in the economic devel
opment of the south, writes Garnauit
Agassiz in National Magazine. There
are at the present time over 800 cot
ton-seed oil mills and refineries in
Ihe southern states, representing an
investment of over $100,000,000. These
mil’s have an annual output of $90,-
000,000, over $30,000,000 of which is
shipped to foreign lands. Cotton-seed
oil is fast coming to the front as a
food for man and beast. In Georgia
alone the number of oil mills in
creased from 58 in 1901 to 130 in 1908,
with a comparative value of $5,000,000
and $17,000,000.
GIRL DESIGNS MONUMENT
The design for the monument to
the women of the ‘‘Lost Cause”
has been completed. It is the work
of a southern girl, Miss Belle Kin
ney, of Nashville, Tenn., and has
been accepted by several states.
The central finite of the monument
is the Goddess of Fame. At her
right, a reclining figure, represents
the self-sacrificing southern woman
of the war time. Fame is represent
ed as placing a wreath upon the
southern woman’s head, while she
supports at her left a dying aiui ema
ciated Confederate soldier, to whom
the southern woman is extending the
Palm of victory in death.
Miss Kinney is but 22 years of age
and is already a sculptor of more
than national fame. She was recent
ly awarded the contract for a hero
ic statue of the late Senator Edward
Ward Carmack, of Tennessee. She
received her education in art at the
institute at Chicago.

OBJECT LESSON FARMS
Uncle Sam Tells How Run-Down
Place Was Built Up.
Washington, D, C. —Several years
ago it occurred to a practical sci
entist of the United States depart
ment of agriculture that some of the
best managed farms in different sec
tions might be made to serve as ob
ject lessons. The first fruit of this
idea was the published account of
“A Model Farm” in Pennsylvania,
which attracted wide attention.
Since then a number of popular bul
letins have been issued describing
succesful farms in different sections
and outlining their management.
The list to date includes “A Suc
cessful Hog and Seed-Corn Farm” in
Illinois; ’“A Profitable Tenant Dairy
I Farm” in Michigan; “A Successful
Southern Hay Farm” in South Caro
lina; “A Successful Dairy and Poul
try Farm” in Washington, and
, "Small Farms in the Corn Belt.”
| The latest bulletin of this class
(Farmers' Bulletin No. 364) gives
an acount of a “Profitable Cotton
Farm” in South Carolina. The farm
in question was in 1902, when its
present owner took possession, an
old run-down cotton farm. Now it is
fertile, well improved with fences
and farm buildings, and is producing
crops which yield the owner a large
income and a handsome profit. All
this has been accomplished by deep,
and thorough cultivation of the soil,
by the use of barnyard manure and
some commercial fertilizer, by rota
: tion of crops, and by the industry
and good judgement of the farmer
himself.
This farm contains 132 acres, only |
i half of which is planted to crops,
The farmer has divided his tilled
land into three equal fields on which
he raises corn, oats and cotton, in
j succession. Before he took the farm
it was producing only 5 to 8 bushels
of corn or 300 pounds of seed cotton
ito the acre. The first year he made
it produce one and one-half bales of
i cotton and 37 bushels of corn to the
acre. Now his yields per acre are
two and one-half bales of cotton, 85
bushels of corn and 80 bushels of j
oats.
He keeps about 24 head of native I
cattle, mainly for the sake of the
manure, although they yield him a
small profit besides. These Farmers’
Bulletins are for distribution by sen
ators and representatives, as well as
by the department.
TO RAISE $200,000 IN CENTS
Farmer’s Suggestion to Celebrate An
niversary of Rural Delivery.
A novel suggestion was made to
Postmaster-General Hitchcock at
Washington the other day for away
in which properly to celebrate the
thirteenth anniversary of the estab
lishment of the rural free delivery.
A Missouri farmer wrote Mr. Hitch
cock that he had seen in the news
papers that the department was at a
loss to know what would be a fit
ting way to observe the establish
ment of the rural service.
His plan would be to have every
patron of the service give a cent
to the rural carriers, the money so
collected to constitute a fund for
some worthy charity like the estab
lishment of a home for children. As
there are 20,000,000 rural free de
livery patrons the adoption of the
Missourian’s plan would yield a fund
of $200,000.
The Burning Question.
A Baltimore teacher was trying
to explain the meaning of the word
I “recuperate.”
“Charley,” she said, “when night!
comes your father returns home tir-
I ed and worn out, doesn’t he”
“Yes, ma’m,” assented Charley.
“Then,” continued the teacher, ‘“it
1 being night, and he being tired, what
does he do?”
"That's what ma wants to know,” J
: said Charley.
Many of a life full of promise has
been wrecked owing to the want of
a definite aim in life, and the only
way to insure success is to deter
, mine upou a certain line of action,
ito have an ultimate object in view.
I and to make every effort to reach
the goal and secure the prize.

THE SCREAMING EAGLE
The quarrel of the explorers aside,
Americans have excellent excuse for
bringing forth and parading their
achievements. Reaching the North
Pole is but one of a series of con
quests which has been crowded into
a period of hardly a century in
length.
The Boston Globe presents this
list:
Americans were the first to dem
onstrate the feasibility of relying on
a citizen soldiery to defend the land
and its institutions against foreign or
domestic attack. ‘
| Americans were the first to abol-
I ish titular distinctions and to deprive
j social eminence of any support save
I character or the consencus of those
I who choose to consided themselves as
socially elect.
It was an American who invented
the steamship.
An American invented the tele
graph.
An American invented the tele
phone.
An American invented the electric
light.
An American invented the reaper,
which makes it possible to feed the
billion and more people on this plan
et.
It was an American, too, who in
vented the sewing machine.
Americans also were the conquerers
ct pain when they discovered how,
by means of sulphuric ether, the
: tenderest of humean nerves be made
insensible to the surgeon’s steel.
Americans opened the ports of Ja
pan to the nations of the world, mads
a path into darkest Africa, and now
two Americans crown the geographi
cal achievements of their country
men by discovering the north pole.
