AMONG TIE DELEGATES.

Speaking of the Mills convention at Waco,
held the other day, Mr.. c.. NJ. Wilcox Of
McGregor, McLennau county, says that the
masses were not represented 1t that con-
v%ention. 1t was composeds he says, of 4
few politicians and Mr.. Mills personal
friends. gathered from the immediate vi
entity of Waco. He thinks the masses of
the farmers there favor Mr.. Culberson.
They can not be induced to accept Mr..
Clark for governor.
Mr.. j. 7. Crawford. the temporary chair
man, who halls from Cisco, says that he
believes the farmers of that section are
unreservedly in favor of the Sub-treasury
and the Ocala demands. They are in favor
of Z railway commission. Governor Hogg,
he thinks, has lost ground, but the people
out there are not discussing men as much
as they are looking at measures. He could
give no Intelligent expression with refer
euce to their position on the senatorial or
the presidential questions, but they are all
for free silver and he did not think they
would subordinate that for the tariff.
Delegate McCuiSton of Lamar county
SAYS that the farmers Of that county favor
Mr.. CulberSOn for senator. They are not
hearty supporters OF Governor Hogg.
They are tired of class legislation in the iu-
tereSt of corporations, of which protective
tariff is the f-oster-mother. Statistics show
that the farmers possessions are being re-
duced year by year, although he pays two
thirds of the taxes. They are not suffering
from over-prodnctiou, but from under-con-
sumption. caused by a contracted currency.
While Harry Tracy was entertaining the
conference in the afternoon, he stated that

KILLED AND ATE THE BABY.
Terrible Crime of an Eleven Year-OId
Colored Boy.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 22.-News of hor-
rible story of murder and cannibalism near
Rays Mill has been received. Lucy Pres
ident, a degraded and idiotic negro
woman, left her home and nine months
old child in charge of two older children,
Mark and Linda, aged respectively eleven
and nine years. She went TO the place of
Mr. J. A. Knight, two miles distant, to do
some work for Mrs. Knight. After her
departure it seems that Mark resolved
upon putting the infant out of the way.
So he told his sister what he proposed
doing, at the same time telling her that if
she told he would kill her. Securing an
ak he deliberately knocked it in the
head and mangled its body in different
places. Not content with the heinons
crime that had already been committed,
he took a fork and gouged out the eyes of
the little one. which he roasted, and then
taking slice out of either jaw he and his
sister sat themselves down to feast.
When the mother returned and found
what had been done she did not show the
least sign of maternal grief

Why We Have Many Brands.

Many reasons have been adduced for Civ
ing to the same brand of cigar four or five
different names, and some of the reasons
sound very childish. But there is one
good reason, and it is this: In nearly every
small or medium sized town dealer de.
mands the exclusive handling of brand
of cigars, or he will not sell them at all
and when brand has only one name its
sale would be practically limited to one
house in each town. BY putting up the
cigars in boxes of different shapes and APP
plying four or five names to them it is
easy to give as many dealers the exclusive
right they desire as there are names to a
brand. No attempt whatever is made tG
change the appearance of the cigar, and
old time smokers promptly discover the
little deception, but in n general way it
serves good purpose and does no one any
harm.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Georcia's Profits from Fruits.

The Georgia fruit crop is big thing
this year, and everybody is interested in
knowing what the growers will make
out of it. In the peach and grape crops
alone conservative estimates show that
about 500 carloads of peaches and 10(
carloads of grapes will leave the state
for foreign markets during the present
season. The estimated receipts for the
peach and grape crops combined are
$750,OOO.
Reports show that the peaches arr
we'll formed, of good size and perfectly
Uund, and this, together with the de
crease in yield from last year, makes
good prices and ready sales an assured
fact. Other important fruit crops viii
largely swell the total sales, and lots o
summer money will be put in circula
ton where it will do good.-Columbu

A Heifer in a Bathtub.

A number of cattle were landed at
the Weems line wharf yesterday morn
ing. Their driver was James Groucher.
The animals seeming quiet, Groucher
started to drive them without any
ropes. On reaching Conway street a
heifer, which had been moving along
very placidly, became very much ami
mated, and made things very interest
ing for the balance of the herd. The
street being too wide for her she danced
up an alley between 1919 and 13l Con
way street. A gate blocked her way,
but only momentarily. Through it she
went, and then another obstacle pre-
scented itself, Mrs. Emma A. Poole, who
proved to be no more of stop to the
heifer's onward progress than Fort Car.

to the ground, and in the kitchen it
went. There some destruction Of prop
erty was committed, but not enough to

The dining room was next entered,
where the well known quadruped-ln-a
china-shop scene was re-enacted. The
hallway was then taken in, and lamp
was knocked down. The heifer wanted
to conquer higher worlds, so she went
upward into a bedroom. Here, tenn
porarily, repose was sought on the bed,
but it fell under the animals weight,
other damage being done during this
occurrence. From here. the weather
being warm, her heifership went into
the bathroom and hoped into the bath
tub. Mrs. Poole then commenced call
ing for help, and, with the assistance of
a blue coated soldier, drove the animal
out, and she at once sailed up Hanover
street and there entered another house,
but did no damage. The driver finally

she did not recognize her sovereign. "Wil'
