Marked Improvement as the Result of the

The last weekly weather crop bulletin
sizes up the crop conditions as follows:
"The past week has brought marked
improvement in the general crop pros
pect. Showers have fallen in all parts
of Georgia, and nearly every farm has
received more or less rain. There are
still some luckless spots where the
drought continues with undated severi-
ty, but they are not numerous. The
temperature has also been high, and the
heat, together with the moisture, has
forced corn and cotton to rapid growth.

not showing an average yield, indicates

! HERO IN HUMBLE LIFE.
EXPERIENCE OF "A
BRAVE WATERMAN.
with a Mob of Striking Miners Who APP
piled the Torch to a Railroad
the Atlanta Constitution.


From the Atlanta Constitution.
Our Geographic columns the other day
contained the story of hero in humble
life.
A few nights ago mob of striking
miners. over the protest of their more
conservative associates, made an attack
unon a long trestle of the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham road, near
Adamville, in Alabama, in the center
of the mining district. Some OF the
moro reckless miners who were deter
mined to prevent the hauling OF coal
mined by non-union labor. tried to burn
the trestle.
But they found a lion in their path!
William McLain, the Waterman, heard
the mob approaching one end OF the
trestle about 3 o'clock in the morning
The men saturated the wood work with
oil and set fire to it. McLain saw that
the odds weie overwhelmingly against
him. but his brave heart never faltered,
and in the face of almost certain deaf b
he opened fire upon the marauders.
He was soon out of ammunition and
had 10 return to his station, where he
summoned his two daughters, one aged
nine and the other twelve, to his assist
.ance. Back to the trestle they went to
nut out the fire and save the property.
A fusillade of bullets came from the mob,
badly wounding McLain and his youngest
daughter and killing the older girl.
In this sad plight the wounded watch
man dragged himself to place where
he was able to obtain help to save the
company's property.
Of all the heroes whose names are
linked with great occasions, not one eV-
er showed more fearless courage and
more single-hearted devotion to duty
than this poor fellow, who, with one
child murdered, and the other badly
wounded, while he himself was disabled
by the bullets of the enemy, still had
the pluck to protect the property of his
employers.
A loyal, true man is worth more as an
employe than any one who takes the
place for the money thaEis in it. A dis.
loyal man can destroy the work OF a
thousand good citizens in an hour.
When the railroads find a man like
Nolan they should reward HIM. Such
conduct should be specifically mentioned
and proper praise should be given.
Thousands of men in Europe are deco
rated with crosses and medals for hero
ism when they are not half as much en-
titled to the honor as gallant William
McLain!

The sandringha,n Funeral Sermon.

The wide interest taken in the cues
ton Of recognition in eternity was illus
trated by the extraordinary sale OF the
sermon preached at Sandringham on the
decease of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, the eldest son of the Prince
and Princess of Wales.
The profits during the short period OF
six months amounted to no less than
e1 300, of which the sum of $3.50 was
given by the Princess of Wales to the
Gordon Boys home and $3.50 to the
British Home for Incurables. Over 3d.
900 copies were sold in that time-a sale
certainly unprecedented in the annals
of profit from single sermon of a few
pages.
The preacher has been heard to say
that this sale was not due to his slender
sermon, but to the touching anecdote
told by the princess, forming the prefa-
tory note, and which she gave permits
sion to be printed. The substance OF
the story is that in 1888 all the five chill
