PLUMP FOLKS AND THIN FOLKS Samose Will Make People Fat— “ Money Back if it Fails,” Says Green & Horsey. The line of beauty is a curve. Wom en may be thin and graceful, but not thin and beautiful. There is a vaat number of pale, thin, scrawny people who are all brains and nerves, but without the strength and health that accompanies the standard weight Qood flesh and perfect health go to. getber. A true flesh-forming food like Samose Is absolutely necessary to many people. No one can use this wonderful flesh-forming food for 10 days with out a noticeable gain In flesh and strength. Carefully kept statistics show that out of every hundred peo ple who begin the use of Samose, 98 per cent Increase in weight and their health and strength are re stored. Green & Horsey have so much con fidence In this remarkable flesh forming food and health restorer that they are willing and glad to allow any customer to deposit 50c with them and take home a box of Samose with the understanding that if It does not give a marked Increase In good firm flesh the money will be returned without any questions. Sent post paid on receipt of price, 50c. WILL FIND OUT ALL ABOUT GEORGIA CROPS The Exact Conditions will be Announced By the De partment of Agriculture Next Week. Special to The Herald. ATLANTA, Ga—The exact condi tion of all crops in Georgia will be announced by the depai Lnent of ag riculture early next week. Questions for the May Crop Report are today being mailed out by ihls department, signed by Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson and As sistant Commissioner R. F. Wright. Taking the average crop at 100 per cent the questions asked Include the acreage, compared to last year, the condition, the date of planting and casualties on cotton, corn, oats, corn, wheal, sorghum, rice, clover grasses, fruit, stock labor supplies etc. From Ihls, It will bo seen, that from the one thousand correspondents of the department of agriculture, a most, ac curate and comprehensive report on the crop condition In Georgia is to be secured. This report will give the first In sight Into the number of bab*B of cotton to bo raised in Georgia and the number of tons of cotton seed estimated, which are to be secured for the oil mills of Georgia, which are making the cotton seed such a valu able part of each year's crop. Particular Interest is attached to the report on stock, as there has been In progress in Georgia for a year now a campaign to Increase the num ber of stock raised In this state. Now that cotton seed meal has come to be the accepted as well as the cheapest cattle feed to he lmd and Is being generally successfully fed throughout ihe state, It is believed that this will show a decided Improvement and In crease over last year's crop report. These statistics are to be returned to the department of agriculture not later than May Slsl, and as soon as they can be compiled, the results will he announced for publication. MERCER WILL HAVE THREE COLLEGE TERMS Special to The Herald. MACON, On.—The faculty of Mercer University have voted to make the college year at Mercer divided into three Instead of tw’o terms. The first term will close at Xmas and the sec ond In February, while the last term will be the same ns the present spring term, though slightly shorter. This change has necessitated a new cata logue and a new schedule. Psychol ogy. which has only occupied one term, will bo taken through two. Ixigic will be given two terms, and other changes are to be made. A great many colleges all over the country have found this method satis factory and Mercer has attempted It to get over the disadvantages caused to the students during the Christmas holidays.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD CLEMSON TO OPERATE ELECTRIC RAILROAD College To Own Line To Calhoun—Will Mean a Great Saving in Time and Trouble. GREENVILLE—In the near future Clemson coliege will be operating its own electric line. The matter has been under consideration by the trus tees for some time. In fact, when the new boilers and dynamos were in stalled last summer they were made amply powerful to supply all local de mand on them at the college, and ajso to run the electric line from Calhoun to the college. The road will be laid with 90-pound rails, and so ballasted as to bear the heaviest trains. Coal, of which the college uses a great deal, has now to be hauled in wagons at great expense and loss of time. This fall they ex pect to handle all freight to the col lege In the original cars drawn by their own motors. It is the intention of the college fi nally to extend the line to connect with Cherry station on the Blue Ridge railroad. The early completion of the road will mean mudh in freight hauls, to say nothing of the convenience to visitors and others having business at Clemson.

Notable Speeches Made At Atlanta Mass Meeting Favoring Ga. R.R. Firemen The speeches were noteworthy for moderation of utterance and the deep earnestness with which the causes of the strike were discussed. The su premacy of white firemen over ne groes for the responsible position of firemen were the points especially stressed by all the speakers. Alexander’s Address. "I am glad I came to this meeting,” said Mr. Alexander, "because I go away with a greater sense of pride In the people of Georgia. lat first doubted the wisdom of this meeting, because on such occasions there Is al ways the temptation to intemperate utterance, but i can sincerely say that I have never seen a meeting con ducted wdth a higher degree of deco rum or a more decent sense of civic righteousness.” Mr. Alexander said that he hesi tated to come to the meeting Decause he held an official position in the state and in -such capacity might have to pass on the failure of the Georgia road to carry on its business under its franchise from the state. He said that he had nothing but the kind est feelings for the negro, but did not believe it best for either race that the negro should strive against the white man in an industrial contest. Mr. Alexander said he had great re spect for the character and ability of Thomas K. Scott, general manager of the Georgia road, but that Mr. Scott has made a mistake in the message he sent Governor Smith. "Mr. Scott,” said Mr. Alexander, “addressed the governor of this state In terms of reprimand and made a public intimation that he was aiding in the violation of the law—this was un just and ought not to have been done. If there was any truth in this charge against the governor I say to you that I would introduce articles of Impeach ment against him when the legisla ture meets next June. I say this with the fullest belief that the gov ernor did not shrink in the slightest from doing his duty in the protection of the law from violation” During his speech James L. May son was asked by one of the audience, "What will be the result in the South land if the negro should win in this tight?” “If the negro won in this fight,” re plied Mr. Mayson, “and it meant that negroes were gradually to take the places of white men in industry, then the south would disappear and there would be nothing left but the black belt.” ‘This fight will go on,” said Vice- President Ball, of the Firemen’s Brotherhood, “so long as we have funds and can make assessments to maintain it. We already have on hand in this fund $400,000 and as much more when wanted. For two years we can keep It up, if necess ary.” Mr. Ball stated that the ne gro should not he employed as a fireman who might at any time be called on to take the place of the en gineer. The negro, he said, was em ployed by the Georgia road because he could be obtained cheaper than the white man. and what was saved went to swell the coffers of the road. Mr. Ball stated that he was sorry to see that other railroads were help ing the Georgia road in this strike by handling Its freight. In this con nection he said he wanted to deny two statements that had appeared in The Atlanta Journal as coming from him. T deny the statement,” he said, “that I said I was going to put a strike on every road in the union. 1 haven't that power and authority. 1 also want to deny that I said some of the officials of the road had to go. 1 have never thought it my right or duty to interfere with the officials of a road.” Attorney Dickson devoted his speech principally to a discussion of the ne gro's unfitness for the position of fire man. “There is no place about a train that he is fit to fill by reason of hts intelligence, ability or industry except that of porter,” said Mr. Dick son. “He makes a good porter. If you keep after him. The negro is an Individual thai always wants a nap. You send him to flag a train and the first thing you know you will hear him snoring up the track. The reason the Georgia road wants him as fireman is because he Is cheap. 1 believe if they could get a chimpan zee to throw coal and ring a bell for 30 cents a year they would hire him.” Burgess With Firemen. Mr. Burgess, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said his posi tion had been stated in the public press, that his organization had cer tain contracts which it was bound to respect, but that he was with the firemen because he thought their cause was just. He said that he was glad there had been no violence, and no strike had ever been won by violence. He expressed the belief that the strike would be over in 24 hours. Mr. Puckett, of the Railway Train men, said the railroad wanted negro firemen not only because they would work for cheap wages, but because when the roads killed or injured them it didn’t have to pay so much as in the case o' white men. He said he was glad the strike had been a suc cess so far, and hoped the Georgia road would be tied-up so tight that a car couldn’t be moved with a crow bar. Mr. Jones, of the Atlanta Federa tion of Trades, said that the question was a deeper one than negro firemen, hut that an assault was being made on the standard of living of the white firemen. Six raitroad men, who were brought here by a local detective agency from New York as strike-breakers, were at the meeting and had seats on the front row. F. A. Pidgeon, one of them, said that they saw in the New York World that firemen were wanted in the south and on further in quiry were informed that they were to take the place of negroes. In this, Mr. Pidgeon said, he and his compan ions were deceived. He said that six of them finally escaped from the Empire hotel, where they were guard ed, and. being railroad men them selves, they would take the place of no white man. Mr. Pidgeon stated that there were at least two other men at the Empire who wanted to get out also. He said there were fifteen men left, a good many of whom were foreigners. Public Sentiment Shown. H. O. Teat, of the local firemen, presided over the meeting and intro duced the speakers. He said lie had to consult with Carlos Mason, chair man of the police commission, before he was allowed to go neav the men barricaded at the Empire hotel. Mr. Teat said that before calling We want to send you a trial order of HAYNER BOTTLED-IN-BOND WHISKEY at our risk—on our guarantee it will please you—or it will not cost you one cent— We want to prove to you what a rich, pure and delicious whiskey this is.
