AN industry which was introduced
into Georgia before the Revolution
ary war, and which langulshed and
finally died because the times were
unfavorable, Is once more gaining
q foothold there with prospect OF
success under the better conditions
which now prevail. The culture OF
the silk worm, which was first intro
duced in Gen. Oglethorpe's early
colony, IL now attracting the atten-
ton OF many amateur culturists In
Georgia, and Is finding its best con-
ditions In Savannah and the country
adjacent. The people Of this section
aro looking about for new avenues Of
Investment and employment, and
the experiments In silk culture are
the natural results Of this new spirit
OF enterprise. It 10 found that the
climate Is especially suited. No ar
tificial heat Is required to hatch the
eggs. They mature naturally on the
approach Of warm weather, and the
young worms begin to eat, just as
their natural food, the leaves Of the
mulberry and Usage orange, have be-
gun to grow. So It seems that na-
ture has especially adapted this cli-
mate for the culture Of silk. Exper.
iments which are being carried on In
Savannah are watched with interest
by many who are noting that the ex-
pense Of raising the silk cocoons 10
small, while the product Is worth
about 85 cents o pound In tho mar
ket. 1t 10 quite probable that the
industry under the favorable condi-
lions that now seem to exist will
grow to important proportions aud

merce Of Georgia.

The Columbian half dollars were a dis
appointment In financial way. Five
million of them We're turned out ut the
Philadelphia mint, and 1t was conn.
IDENTIFY expected that they would be
readily taken-even eagerly snapped
up-by the public ut a dollar each. Had
that expectation been realized the Co
lumbar exposition corporation would
have made a handsome thing out of II.
even after paying liberal commissions
for making sales. 1t seemed Us though
one out of thirteen of the American PEG,
pie would be willing to pay dollar for
such a souvenir of the great fair, but
1t did not prove to be so. Only about
100000 of the coins We're disposed of
during the fair, ana about 100000
were turned over to the government
after the exposition closed. For these
there did not seem to be any great de.
mand even ut par for some time. Since
the Secretary of the Treasury offered
them In exchange for gold coins about
100000 OF them have been disposed
Of. The demand Is said to be increas.
Ing, ana the probability Is that all yet
remaining In the possession of the gov
eminent will be taken at no distant
day. Popular appreciation of this hand.
some souvenir does not come soon
enough to do the exposition company
much good. Even now 1t Is not so keen
as the appreciation of dollar gold
pieces, which have gone to premium
OF 90 cents each since their coinage
ceased, and are firmly held even at that
figure, though more than 2OOOO,OOO of
them have been coined since they We're
authorized In 1910.

I have o scientific explanation oil
the somnolence which overtakes peo-
pie In church. I used to think that
II was the dullness OF tho sermon
which provoked the sleep Of the con.
gregation. One remembers the actor
who gave . private reading Of his
play to company Of his friends. and
whom ho was done asked their opin.
lon. At last, when one began ia
speak. the playwright interrupted
"You can have no opinion you were
asleep" ''Ah," replied the critic,
do you not know that sleep Is M
opinion| And sleep Is certainly on
opinion, and not an especially fat.
tering one.
But II may not mean that the SER
mon 10 really dull. I have seen PEG.
pie sleep In church under all mannel
OF circumstances. and In the hearing
Of the most admirable preachers,
preaching the most eloquent scr.
mons. I saw o man asleep when
Mr.. Spurgeon preached. Mr.. Moody

for the red and green lights, com.

the officer Of the deck most intently
watches, for by them he can tell
which way the vessel is going. II her
red light shows, he knows that her

him, and she is crossing to his right.
but II both the red and green are
showing, she Is heading straight in
his direction. Thus he learns by
these running lights where the other
vessel IL, what she IL, and In what
direction she Is going; and he knows
In plenty OF time whether she Is on
his track, or whether she Is crossing
1t In one direction or the other. All
that is not enough, however. to avoid

exactly what to do, and what the
other Is going to do. He must know,
90 to speak. on just what track to
switch, and on just what track the
other vessel will switch to avoid
him. This is settled by fixed rules,
which are the same the world over,
and ore known to oil men who follow
the sea: They are called the Rules
Of the Road"
The rules OF the road say thut when
two vessels arc coming bow on-that
Is to say, on the same track-each
vessel shall turn of to the right far
enough to avoid the other; that when
two vessels arc crossing-that Is,
when their tracks would cross each
other-the one which has the other
on her starboard (right) hand must
turn to starboard (the right). and 70
behind the other vessel, while the
latter keeps on her track o! course |;
and that steam vessel must always
get out OF the way OF u sailing vessel,
q vessel ut anchor or disabled, or o
vessel with another In tow.
Thus the lights tell, In the darkest
night. which why the ships are going,
and what kind OF ships they are ;
while the rules OF the road tell, boil,
for night and day, In which direction
the ships must turn to keep out OF
each Others way. II vessel has
another vessel In tow she carries two
masthead lights instead OF one; and
when Q vessel IL ut anchor she has no
side lights or masthead light, but a
single white light made fast to o stay
where 1t can be seen from oil around
her.

HENRY GANNErr. an able stat,sti.
clan, calculates that In 1890 the
wealth OF the United States was &43,.
642, OOO, 900. or an average OF $3.50 to
each inhabltant; that 1t was about
$62, 600, 0O0. 900 in 1890, or VI, 900 to
each inhabitant, and that at both
dates 1t was greater than the wealth
OF any other nation. Mr.. Gannett
finds that per cent. OF the total
wealth OF the country Is owned by
millionaires. ~ per cent. by people
worth from 100000 to ~ 900, 600
each, 25 per cent. by those worth
from $40, 900 to 800, 900, 81 per cent,
the largest percentage, by those
worth from $1,000 to $40, 900 each,
and 9 per cent. by those owning less
than 81, 900 each.
The tremendous magnitude OF tho

passengers, an increaap OF over H.
600, 600 over the twelve months pre-

COMPROMISED THE NATTER.
Miss King Will Continue to Conduct
the Registers Office.

The contemplated surrender of the
register of deeds oiicc to George An
derson which was announced Monday
afternoon did not take place. Later
in the evening Mr.. Anderson evidently
changed his mind and accepted sum
sufficient to soothe his wounded feel
ings and compromise was effected.
He agreed to allow Miss King to hold
the office without contest. This set
ties that matter and was probably the
easiest method Of disposing of it.
There has been much unfayorable
comment upon Mr.. Anderson's course
in the matter but he probably knew
what he wanted.
1t is understood that the Robson
certificate will not be contested by
Mr.. Huffman or Mr.. Stambaugh.
After considering the matter it was
decided that the outcome was SO
doubtful as to scarcely warrant a
fight.
The REFLECTOR is glad to see the
troubles so amicably adjusted. 1t is
best for everybody except the law
yers.
