The Clansman Coming Bad.
That much talked of play,
“The Clansman,V is booked for
a return date at the Valdosta
Theater on Tuesday Feb. 18th,
with the big New York cast of
favorite actors and a splendid
metropolitan production. Lov¬
ers of American drama at its
best will look forward with
pleasant anticipation to this en¬
gagement, which is among the
most noteworthy of the season.
As England and the British
colonies are anxious to witness
•this great historical drama, it
will be several years at least,
before “The Clansman” will be
seen in tbi* vicinity again.
Her/ Monument to
go to Columbus.
The site committee of the Werz
monument met the veterans of
Camp Sumpter this morning to
secure an expression as to the lo¬
cation of the monument and in¬
scription. The camp voted unani¬
mously to locate the monument in
Americus and to retain the in¬
scription as now provided for.
Thursday the inscription com
mittee will meet at Atlanta to con-
aider the matter of a change of
inscription. If the site is to bo
changed to Americas it must be
done by the general convention,
which meets at Savannah in Oc-
tober. The monument was to have
been unveiled on June 3d.

A mass meeting of Tift county-
citizens was held at the courthouse

mary will be held in thirty days.
No definate day bus been deter¬
mined.
tV. W. Banks and Mayor S. M.
Civ alt were selected to represent
Tift county in the Sixth district
senatorial convention.
Congressman Edwards
Will Seek Re-Election.
Congressman C. G- Edwards of
the First district has added to the
gaiety of what was already a very
pretty and animated race for con
grass from this district by an¬
nouncing his candidacy for re-e¬
lection. He states that he has bad
so many requests to make the race
again that he could not refuse. He
says if he doesn’t accomplish any¬
thing by the end of his second
term he is ready to get down and
out for good. The others in the
race are W. W» Sheppard, of
Chatham; E. K. Overstreet, of
Screven, and William Clifton, of
McIntosh. Mr. J. Randolph An¬
derson, of Chatham, may also
run.
First District School Opened.
The First District Agricultural
School opened last Wednesday
morning at Statesboro. Although
there was no formality the open¬
ing was an interesting occasion.
Hon. J. Randolph Anderson, of
Savannah, Chairman of the Board
of Trustees, made an address, in
which he pointed out the advan-
tages of the school to the boys
aiul girls tf the district and
Cuiclf Counts m m A i &

he thought it. would accomplish.
Prof. .7. B. Cone also made an
interest inn talk. Each member
of tin? faculty spoke, outlining
the course of stuey to be pursued.
Miss Josephine Schiffer, of Wil¬
mington, Cel., teacher of domes¬
tic science, gave a full description
of the work she hopes to accom¬
plish, and during her icteresting
talk gave evidence that she will
make a strong member of the
faculty which the trustees have
chosen.
There were many visitors, most
of them the parents of students.
About seventy-five students were
enrolled. There is a good repre¬
sentation of each county in the
district, but there is still a little
available room in the dormitories.
This, however, is expected to be
taken up in the near future.
Dases Made Against Elks.
Cases were made against Secre¬
tary C. R. Wright of the Elks
Club and Granville Conner, form
erly chief of police of Macon, and
five other members of the Elks at
noon Wednesday, when the city
police, carried out orders of Police
Chief Wescott to investigate and
ascertain whether the locker
system was being operated.
The hearings have been set for
today, owing to the absence of
Mayor Mi Her and City Attornev
Hall from Macon. Recorder
Urquhart will have to pass upon
the question as to whether the
Elks can operate the locker in
violation of the city ordinance just
passed. It is believed that the
city authorities will not have
sufficient evidence at the present
time to maintain the charge. •
Detective Tom Jones, who made
the cases, said tlm; he could find
nothing to indicate the keeping of
alcoholics djinks in the club room.
State Committee to Meet Today.
Atlanea, Feb. 5.—The advance
guard of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, which will
meet at the Piedmont hotel at
noon tomorrow, is here talking
over situation. A preliminary
conference among certain mem¬
bers of the com mi l te and members
of the administration was heid
today for the purpose, it is sup¬
posed, of outlining the program
for tomorrow.
It is generally understood that
the committee will order only one
primary and one convention, which
will both name state delegates to
the national convention at Denver
and nominate State House officers.
The accepted opinion is that this
primary will be called the last week
in May or the first week in June,
and that the state convention will
be eeld just before the General
Assembly, which takes piafe on
June 24.
Outside of this it is expected
that resolutions will be adopted
indorsing the present administra¬
tion and its refoem politics, and
also Indorsing Bryan for the Na¬
tional standard bearer of the party,
which will be in line with the
Macon convention-

The Greatest Lumber Get.
-- i
More lumber was cut in the
United S-ates last year
any other year in its history. The
enormous amount of 37,550,736
bonrd feet was produced, and the
mill value of this was $621,151,-
388. In addition there were
produced 11,858,260,000 shin¬
gles, valued at $24,155,555, and
3,812,807,000 lath, valued at
$11,490,570. On the whole, it is
safe to say that the present annual
lumber cut of the United States
approximates 40 billion feet, and
that the total value of the lumber,
lath and shingles each year pro¬
duced is not less than $700,-
000,000. These figures give some
idea of how yast is the lumber in¬
dustry and how great is the de¬
mand for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing of white pine and oak,
one Inc greatest softwood and the
other the greatest hardwood which
the forest has ever grown. Since
1899 the cut of white pine
fallen off more than 40 per cent,
while that of white oak hss
off more than 36 per cent. Today
yellow pine leads all other
in amount cut, while Douglas fir
and this will be a surprise
many—comes second. Since L*3-. !

cd 186 per cent. Louisiana is .h>-
foremost yellow pine state,
Texas, Mississippi and
following in order. Washing! He

amount of Dougins fir.
A comparison of tht lumbe
producing states shows that vn
1899 there have been 3
changes in their relative
Washington, which in 1899
sixth, now leads, while Y* .
w hick eight years ago led
others, is now third, in the
period Oregon, Louisiana,

RUstAl DELIVERY BOXES
Postmaster Crews at Stockton
desires to call attention to the
practice of some jatrona of rural
delivery of placing loose coins in
their boxes each time they desire
to dispatch letters instead of sup¬
pling themselves with postage in
advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re¬
moving loose coins from boxes
and delays them on the service of
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, ur-
£ ent 'y requests that patrons of
rural delivery provide themselves
an d keep on hand a supply of
Stamps consistent with aad in ad¬
vance of their needs. It is also
very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small
detachable cups of wood or tin in
which to place coins, when neces-
j nary, in purchasing supplies of
stumpy.
