PROFITS IN MILK.

A number of Cobb county farm
ers do not believe that they can
produce milk for creamery at 80
cents per 100 pounds. TO show
that it can be done, we give some
Information furnished by the Board
of Trade of Elgin, Wis, taken
from Fort Atkinson, (Wis.) Dali
ryman. 1t is as follows:
John Newman, the president of
the Elgin board, is one of the larg-
est factory owners in the country,
and is we'll known in all business
circles connected with the sale of
butter and cheese. He and his bus
mess associates OWE and operate
twenty five CT the largest and best
creameries in this section.
Following are few facts regard
ing some of the dairy farms in this
immediate section:
Frank Walmough, on a farm OF
200 acres, keeps herd of SO cows
and these produce daily twenty
cans, or 100 gallons, of milk. The
sale OF this milk brings $500 per
day, or 81 3-13 cents per COW per
day. He feeds 90 tons of bran an
nualiy, in addition to corn and fod
der, and estimates the actual expense
at 6 cents per cow per day, making
net profit OF 25 3 Is cents per COW
for every day in the year.
Henry Alderman, with a small
dairy OF twenty-five COWS, produces
eight cans of milk or sixty-four gal
Ions per day. Each cow averages
2 1011 gallons of milk per day.
His gross receipts are IS cents per
COW per day and gross expenses u
cents per cow, leaving net receipts
amounting to 273 cents daily fol
each COW.
| George Bridges, with a dairy O
% cows, mckes nine cans or seven
ty>two gallons OF milk daily. Hi
receipts are estimated at 81 1912;
cents daily for each COW, while hi
expense is much lower than those
previously mentioned, being bu
81 cents per cow daily. This give
| him net profit of 81 cents for eacl
cow per day, for milk alone.
Wallace Kenyon's dairy of fit!

milk in winter and ten in GUNNER

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 29.-Persons
searching for the body of ex-sheriff Cur

cemetery, traced it to an unoccupied
house which is being fitted up for the In
diana medical college. In the cellar they
found twenty more bodies, some in coal oil

-four barrels, packed in straw. They had
been brought in from country cemeteries
within two or three days and represented
all ages, from mere infants to gray-haired
men and women.
The medical college was burned some
months ago, and the bodies were being
collected, preparatory to opening the insti-
tuition in new quarters The developments
have created great excitement in the
neighborhood, ard many graves near this
city are being opened to dispel the fear
that their occupants have been stolen.

THE PASSING OF BENJAMIN

The New York Herald asserts posi- lively that Mir Harrison has withdrawn entirely from all pretentions as a presi- dental possibility and will do all in his power to throw the delegations he might capture for himself directly in the train of the Mckinley following to strengthen it's ranks and elect it's leader This in-
 formation comes ticketed from a per
 sonal friend" and from "a prominent
 Republican of national reputation" the identity of the prominent gentleman re-
 maining in the meantime in the back ground If this retirement from the field
 be really true, then it scores another
 Platt, who are practically the nominee
 makers of the party. Both of them are bitter political enemies of MT Harrison's,
 and as is we'll known, are monarch of all they survey when 1t comes to the
 party machines in Pennsylvania and New York. The prominent Republi- can" who gave the information says fur ther that the ex-President realizes that
 should he go before a convention and
 ask for the nomination he would meet with an uncompromising denial, and for such a slap in the face the former party leader does not care.
 Many journals give some credence to the Heralds statement while others as sert that it is only a political trick to draw from one man at least an avowal
 for or against the rumors that have been busy with his chances.
 At all events, 1t is certain that Benja- min did not relish the Morton clause in the New York convention report last
 week. and it may be he has made up his mind to defeat that candidate by throwing out his lines for a larger fish. and decided on Mckinley as the likeliest man for the occasion.

 Young Lady lakes Poison by Mistake.

Anniston. Sept. 26-(Special Core spondence.)- .)-Capt. D. D. Mcleod a we'll known attorney of this city, has gone to Sherman and Bonham, Tex, on very important mission, and the outcome of it means much to social people living in Calhoun and Talladega counties. Some time in the '40s there went from North Carolina to Texas young surveyor named Thomas c. Bean, who was an uncle of Henry, John and William Bean Of Talladega county and granduncle of Mrs. J. E. Gilmore of this city. Mrs. John Haywood of Oxford, Mrs. Nancy Conner of Coldwater and F.. C.. Clark of Alexandria. He was also related to sev- cral other people in this section. When Texas made large grants of land to sol ders of the Mexican war Thomas C. Bean was called into service and em- plOyed to survey a great deal of this land. For this he was allowed a consid erable portion of each grant, which az gregated to him many thousands of acres. Bean died in 1887, an old bache- Tor, and left an estate in Fannin county, Tex, worth over $1, 900, 900. His relatives had not heard from him in many years, and did not know what had become of him. Recently news came of his death and the big estate he left. Captain Me- Leod has gone to look after the interests of the Calhoun and Talladega county heirs, and it is very likely that they will get a good snare Of the big Texas prop erty.

Sentenced by Justice Jerome.


 The Carter Medicine company has been engaged for the last month in running down gang in this city who have been making and selling counterfeit of it's trade mark, "Carter's Little Liver Pills" Notices have appeared of several arrests which the company has made. For week past one of these cases has been on trial in the court of special sessions be- fore Justices Jerome, Jacobs and Hayes The prisoner was Thomas B. Hughes, druggist at No. 2S1 Tenth avenue On Wednesday the prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to three months in the penitentiary. In delivering the- sen- tence of the court Presiding Justice Je- rome said:
 Hughes. the court, after a long and careful trial, has come reluctantly to the conclusion that you are a guilty man. The whole value of many of these arti- cleS lies in the trade mark. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent annually in placing them before the public. If the public cannot rely tpon these articles then fraud is being prac- ticed upon them, and upon the proprie- tary rights of those persons who own trade marks. New York is great com mercial city and trade marks are as im- portant to this city as integrity is to a coiner. This is a class of cases which leniency at all The sentence of the court is that you be confined in the penientiary for a period of three months"
 The justice also intimated that but for the fact of the prisoners previous record and the fact that he had been in jail for some time the sentence would have been much heavier.

PEARY'S RETURN.

Now that Lieutenant Peary is back from his long and dangerous journey, he will probably be deluged with letters, comments, criticisms and advice, all Of which he will appreciate more or less.
 It was a hazardous undertaking, fraught with many dangers and entalllng many hardships upon those engaging Tn it. Everyday minds somehow fail to grasp the benefit such expeditions confer upon the world of science. Even suppos- ing some great and yet undiscovered good should be found a the pole, the difficult ties attendant on attaining it render 1t practically useless for the generality of mankind, and it's existence may as well remain unknown.
 Among the many expeditions to the North Pole not one but has been attended by fatality. Life after life has been sac rificed and always with the same result, or lack of result. Sir John Franklin's party told the world all there was to be known of the region of snow and ice; the Greeley expedition only confirmed it, though it penetrated further north than any other.
 Lieutenant Peary was plucky enough, but the feat was too great to accomplish, and if the pole" is there at all it will have to rest some time before it is hon. ored by having Uncle Sam's flag flying from it.
