eLYNN's OLIVE GROVE.
It Is the Only Commercial Olive Grove
in the East.

It Is the Only Commercial Olive Grove
in the East.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Feb. 26.-Very few
people In the state know that Glynn county
has commercial olive grove. W. r.
Shadman of St. Simon's island is the owner
Of it, and In reply to the MORNING NEWS
correspondents questions In regard to the
trees said they were doing nicely and ex-
hibited a twig about eight inches long con-
tanning sixteen we'll formed, bright colored,
half grown olives, which look like those
grown in Italy. Mr.. Shadman's olive grove
covers three acres, and the trees are loaded
down with fruit, which guarantees a large
crop. This is the only commercial grove
east Of the Rocky mountains. California
has one or two, but the finest fruit grown
there will not begin to compare
in beauty and size to Shadman's. Some of
the olives are picked for market but the
largest portion is made into oil. Olive
growing compared with cotton raising can
not be compared with any credit to cotton.
On three acres Shadnan makes $50 gallons
OF oil each year. The of sells for S. per
gallon on an average, or the total output
for 81, $50. The money derived from the sale
OF the pickles pays all expenses. Some of
the trees In Shadman's grove are Is inches
in diameter, demonstrating the adapta-
bility OF this soil for olive growing. The
trees are set thirty feet apart and require
no more work to cultivate them than does a
pear or peach tree. On the place are now
growing olives, dates, pecans, oranges
peaches and all the fruits grown 10 Geor-
gia. The cotton planters throughout the
state would do well TO initiate Shadman In
his farming ideas, for there's money in It.

LEASE OF THE CENTRAL.
A Report That it is to be Attacked by
the Railroad Commission.

- -eCROA AA6b IL - W DC AEL6C66o DY
the Railroad Commission.
From the AtIantd Ca Journal
1t is very likely that the Central lease to
the Terminal company will be contested.
And that, too, by the Railroad Commission
Of Georgia. Some few weeks ago the rail-
road commission was enjoined from enforc-
ing the joint rate circular issued by them,
at the instance Of the Richmond Terminal
company. The injunction was issued by
the United States court and will shortly be
tried. The Terminal company in their bill
for injunction also attacks the validity of
the commits sion and their right to interfere
with them.
The joint rate circular was acquiesced in
by all of the other roads ia the state except
those controlled by the Terminal company.
1t is said that the railroad commissioners
IN their answer and as a part of their de-
Tense attack the validity of the lease made
by the Central to the Terminal. When they
do IL will be an interesting fight A Journal
reporter called at the Office of the railroad
commission and asked for a verification of
the report. 1--WE have not filed our answer
yet, but are preparing it, and until then we
do not care TO discuss the matter" was the
reply. "You do not say it is not truep
mo, but our answer will be filed in a few
days, and 1t will make good reading"

REINaARDTS TAX FIFAs.
The Committee OF Investigation Com.
pletes It's Work.


ATLANTA, GA. Feb 26.-The sensation
Of the present week has been the investira-
ton of the charge against Alderman Rein
hardt, mayor pro TEN. Some time ago the
records were investigated, and it was dis
closed that Alderman Reinhardt, through
his official position. chairman of the tax
committee, had enjoyed the extraordinary
privilege of having a. fas. amounting to
several thousand dollars for rent and inn
provements held up for over two years by the
marshal, while citizens were compelled TO
pay up promptly. This disclosure created
much comment and criticism, and the local
press openly. demanded Mayor (protens.)
Reinhardts resignation and at the last
meeting OF council an investigating commit
tee was appointed, and every day this week
the committee has held sessions to examine
into the charges. To-day the committee
completed its investigation. but will not
disclose its report until the next meeting
OF council. 1t is probable that the commit
tee will request the mayor pro tenn. to re-
sign for improperly using his official posi-
ton, though 1t is admitted that his conduct
may be whitew ashed because OF the fact
that other members of the council are
amenable TO similar charges.

THE EVENING SESSION.
TARIFF BILL PLANS.
The Free Wool Bill the First to Be
Taken Up.

The Free Wool Bill the First to Be
Taken Up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The free wool
bill will be the first Of the tariff bills to be
taken up in the House, the members Of the
ways and means committee reaching this
conclusion to-day after a short conference.
The second bill to be considered will prob
ably be the Bryan bill, making binding
Irvine free. and the third the cotton baggin9
bill. @ANAA
1t is likely that there will be more or less
general discussion of the whole tariff ques-
ton in consideration of the wool bill which,
it is expected, will occupy about three
weeks. The democratic majority Of the
committee held another conference during
the day at which they talked over the sub
ject of getting more separate bills ready
while attacking in the House the Mckinley
law with the three bills already agreed
upon. Tin plate was an item of consider
alton. No conclusion was reached but the
sentiment expressed was on the whole
favorable to free tin plate.

Lime From Oyster Shells.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Feb. 26.-The oyster
cannery OF Brunswick has paved the way
for new industry In Glynn county. The
Brunswick Oyster Shell Lime Company, a
new organization, proposes soon to COM
mence the manufacture of oyster shells into
lime. The company claims that the oyster
shell produces the finest quality of lime. and
1t expects to make the new industry re.
munerative. Carbonate of lime is a fine
fertilizer and will doubtless be in great de-
mand for the purpose.

QUINCY, FLA. Feb. 26.-At $3.50 o. m. "the

RULES FOR DRINKING health
Pictures of Dutch Life Two and Eali
Centuries Ago.

Pictures of Dutch Life Two and a Ealf
Centuries Ago.
From Scribner's Magazine.
We give the rules about drinking healths
as 1t is among the Burgers, so that no mis-
takes may be made:
81. Offer your friends before going to
table glass Of red WINE. as that is good for
the digestion and is pleasant way of well
coming them.
''2. With the first glass the host must wish
his guests an appetizing meal. His friends
to each other also.
''3. II the company consists OF only ten or
twelve people one can drink their health in
turn, but 1t Is useless to DO it all at once, as
all may not have such thirst at the same
time. When you wish to drink, ask for
glass of wine Of the man or maid who is
serving.
~. If the company is large and there are
perhaps thirty at the table, it would be use
less to drink every ones health separately,
as one would then take more wine than one
cares to drink. IL you please, you may In.
clude two, four or six in one salutation of
your glass, beginning with those farthest
off and then continuing, first on the right
hand and then on the left.
rs. The dispute still exists as to the pro-
priety of kissing the lady who sits next YOU
as you drink her health, or thanking her
with kiss when she drinks yours. Still
more unmannerly is it to leave our chair to
kiss the young ladies who sit at a distance
from you. 1t Is not proper to kiss q lady
without washing your lips, and besides it
creates confusion at table
So 1t is not we'll to insist upon any ones
finishing his glass each time, as that would
do away with the freedom of your guests,
but it is quite proper to ask the lady next
you If you may fill her glass from time to
timen

f:GGGS AID Their Causes,

From "our Recent Floods" by Major J W Powell
in North American Review for August
1t is not necessary to control all the
rainfall of a basin in order to control
the floods of its river. Again, the
river will normally take care Of the
greater part of its discharge. The
channel itself is adequate to the task
of carving away the water Of any or
binary rain. Every destructive flood
is caused by the comparatively small
excess of storm which is of unusual
magnitude. Thus while the quantity
of water which appears in any great
flood is vast, yet that which brings de-
struction is OILY the excess over the
carrying capicity of the channel.
The destructive waters, therefore, are
but very small percentage OF the
rainfall, and but small percentage
Of the river flow. The quantities of
water to be controlled and the powers
to be mastered are so nearly within
the conditions where human effort
may be available that hydraulic engi-
neers and geologists have again aud
again considered this problem, no.,
without hope of its solution. Let US
see what the problem is, how
it varies from region to region, aud to
hat extent it is affected by the oper.
atoms OF man. The rivers ct the
earth may be divided into two classes,
namely, food-plain rivers and canyon
rivers. In flood plain river under
conditions OF great precipitatle n the
waters rise above the channel banks
to overflow the plain which descends
seward or towards the mouth OF the
river. In canyon streams the channels
are cut so deep that the highest flood
never reaches the brink of the canyon
walls. There are many rivers which
are Aood>plain streams along parts of
their courses and canyon streams
along other parts OF their courses. In
CANYON channels it is evident that hui
man habitations and property are safe
when above the flood line, and this
flood-line is always easily discernible,
so that little excuse is found for those
who suffer from floods under such
conditions. But great ma jority OF
rivers are flood. plain streams, and
here the conditions of safety are not

We confidently expect that
some of the reforms suggested by the
Republican editors who met in Boise
last week, will be Endorsed by the
platform to be adopted at Moscow
next week. The Republican editors,
fresh from their homes, where their
opportunities to discover the need OF
reform are unequaled, endeavored to
signal;ze their visit to Boise by doing
something that would be of practical
benefit to their respective communi>
ties; and they succeeded. Now, let

platform will commend itself to every
