The clamorers for robber tariff may
not generally know that until 1928
there was no tariff on wool, nor on lead
till 1861, Pig iron was free till 1870, and
on scrap iron the duty was only "a per
cent before the war, These are practical
points that should be remembered

A NEW ENEMY TO COTTON
A Small Bug VoracIously DevOuTs the
Leaves Forms and Blooms.


Mr.. j. H. GOodin, one Of Wilcox coun-
tvs prosperous farmers, brought a stalk
of cotton TO town last Monday from
which most of the leaves, forms and
blooms had been eaten by a new enemy
of the cotton plant AT least, none of
the farmers in this section ever saw or
heard of it before. The pest is a small
bug about the size and appearance of
the bed bug. They attack the plant in
large numbers and voraciously devour
the leaves, forms and blooms Mr.. Good

amounted in weight to more than co.

the deal to or beyond $4,000, the same
to be paid in cash on delivery.

hence they attract buyers from a

The Atlanta journal says that Jobn

cross swords for the speakership of the
next house of representatives.

Der of the committee, Tom Swift, wants

A well written criticism in an Atlanta
paper, the sum and substance of which
is that the committee should not regard
itself as prosecutors, bound to find some
thing wrong, but only investigators to
see how much of wrong and how much
of right exists, has stirred up that
body nightly. Like all politicians they
are sensitive to the skinless point, and
resentment is easily excited. The critic
claimed tina. the investigation so far
showed that Georgia's administration
was one of the besC on record, only the
most insignificant errors having been
disc rvered. There seems to be a good
deal of sound sense IN the criticism.

STORM SUFFERERS STARVING
HURRICANE OF LAST SEPTEMBER
STILL FELT IN FLORIDA.
A Touching Appeal Is Made for Help.
Relief Given Soon After the
Storm Has Been Used Up.

Urgent appeals for aid are coming la
afresh from that part of Florida which
was devastated by the great hurricane of
September 29Ch. The destitution ap-
pears to be greater than at any previous
time since the catastrophe. Ilachua
county is situated in the center of the
peninsula, midway between Jacksonville
and Cedar Keys. A request for help has
been received fro n ciIizens of Trenton
in which the following statements are
made:
"While we most gratefully acknowl-
edge he generous assistance received di-
rectly after our prosperous country was
almost devastated, still the pitiful cond-
ton of our people inspires this earnest
appeal for help at this season.
"Many families within our borders are
upon the very verge of starvation-are
now subsisting upon dry bread without
even the hope of getting this sort of food
when the present scanty supply is ex-
hausted.
"The distressing cry for food is heard
in almost every quarter, and unless some
speedy relief is secured great suffering
will be the result.
"While other aid is greatly needed
we shall only solicit the means upon
which life can subsist,"
The relief committee at Gainesville
states that it is receiving a great many
earnest appeals for help and is power
less to give much assistance. The funds
in the hands of the committee have been
exhausted. From another source it is
learned that the necessity for immedi-
ate relief is very pressing. Corn and
bacon are what are needed.

CHICKEN PICKS A DIAMOND.
Little Rooster Swallows a Rare Gem in
Americas.

A Little Rooster Swallows a Rare Gem in
Americus.
There was a great stir and whole
sale slaughter of chickens up about
Bosworth's corner yesterday morning.
A coop of fowls stood in front Of the
store, and among the admiring thrOng
looking hungrily at the birds was
smart drummer, who sported a hand
some solitaire ring. In a spirit of
mischief, as we'll as to show off the
sinner, he jabbed the loaded finger in
to the coop. 1t proved an expensive
jab.
As the finger was withdrawn the
wire netting caught the ring and the
stone fell inside the coop Instantly a
little dominecker rooster, thinking it a
fancy grain Of corn, swallowed it.
Then the drummer Waxed wrOth and
hurled several large chunks Of prOfan-
ity at the mild-eyed dom,necker, who
seemed to greatly relish his expensive
meal. There was but one thing to do,
and a thorough investigation into the
interior department of the rooster was
ordered, the drummer acting as chair
man Of the investigating committee.
In the excitement incident to the
loss of the ring the identity of the
guilty fowl was forgotten, and as all
the chickens were as much alike
as so many peas the drummer bought
and butchered the whole lot before
the stone was recovered. -Americus

READY TO SHED HIS SKIN.

Montana Miner Loses 1t Regularly Every
Seven Years.
John II. Price, Butte, Mont, miner,
has gone into hospital to prepare for
the septennial shedding of his skin,
which occurs on July "a. DIR. J. Frank,
of No. II Lincoln avenue, Chicago, who
has attended Price, has written history
of the case.
Price is forty years old and has shed
his skin regularly every seven years
since he was eight years old. He be-
comes i'll every seven years at p. m. on
July "a. He has paroxysms lasting fif-
teen minutes, followed by tremors and
nausea, with rising temperature. He is
delirious about three days, and then his
skin lOosens and comes off in strips. In
about two weeks all his skin has come
off and with it his nails.
The new skin is very tender, but it
soon hardens, and when he leaves the
hospital he is usually in normal health.
There is little hair lost. Dr.. Frank can
can give no explanation of this freak of
nature.

ltlcIanS.
The following is an interesting press
dispatch from Washington to the Savan-
nah News:
Another day has passed without bring
ing consolation to the hungry army of
Georgia republicans now camped here.
1t was expected that the president would
send in the nomination of Jrdson Lyons
for postmaster at Augusta, and it was
said that he might send in the names of
Perry DeLeon and Bill Pledger for ap-
pointments IN the consular service.
All of the expectants and many of their
followers were at the capitol when, the
messenger from the white house deliver
ed the list of nominations to the senate.
The list was small and no Georgia names
were on it.
By chance there was a peculiar meet
ing of Georgia politicians in the senate
corridor just after the list of nomina-
tons arrived. Democrats, republicans
and pOpulists were represented in the
gathering, which was purely accidental.
Senator Bacon had been called out of
the chamber to greet Judge r. T. Ross
of Atlanta, who is visiting Representa-
tive Bartlett.
Se0atOr Clay at the same moment had
been called out by Mr.. Fullwood, whose
nomination for postmaster at Cedartown
is now pending before the senate.
The house had just adjourned and
Representatives Lester, NJ addox and
Griggs passed through the corridor, and
seeing the Georgia senators stopped to
| exchange friendly greetings.
Suddenly Judson Lyons, Bill Pledger,
"Pink" Morton of Athens and Professor
Morse of Savannah and several other
colored members of the Georgia colony
appeared upon the scene. They had
just learned that no Georgia appoint.

They stopped and chatted With the
Georgia congressman for a few minutes
during which their hopes, expectations
and disappointments were briefly dis.
cussed. The conversation was, of course
perfunctOry, as the democratic congress
men had but little sympathy for theil
colored political opponents.

CoRDELE, June 2S.-As the hundred
and fifty-odd convicts at the Green Bros.
camp at Dakota, seven rifles from here,
were in their prison supper room last
night eating their evening meal flash
of binding lightning shot from the black
clouds which had been hanging over this
section all the afternoon, Knocked a half
hundred of the shackled men to the floor
and created the most thrilling consterna-
ton.
Two conyicts, Sam Preston of Clay
county and Sol May of Webster county,
were killed instantly, and twenty others
hurt, some Of them seriously.
When the lightning struck the build
ing the convicts were gathered about the
table, Their chains were together and
the sparks played along the metal, max
ing a cracking, Sizing noise as it went
1t caused many to spring to their feet
and more than one negro danced death

clanked with the movements of the ter
rified men. Many of the men were burn
ed and scorched about the ankles, and
blisters show the course the curreDt took

When the Train Stops at Lincoln.

When the Train Stops at Lincoln.
The east bound Burlington flyer
stops at Lincoln one solid hour every
afternoon between is and 2:15.
That gives time enough for sightseers
to pile on trolley car and ride a mile
or two and then back without feeling
that there is danger that the train
will go away and leave them. The car
takes them out Seventeenth street, and
all of them have the Bryan house point
ed out by the conductor. If the tour
lists happen to be silver peOple-and
the train from the west brings a great
many of that kind-they get off at D
street and spend all the time at their
disposal rubbernecking in front of the
home of their idol. They gather leaves
from the Bryan trees and blades of
5lle grass from the Bryan lawn, and
even pick bits of bark from the Bryan
trees and add them to their collections
of precious relies. A man living in
that neighborhood says that this one
train furnishes an average of a dozen
tourists every day. There are a dog
en- notable public buildings in and
around Lincoln, but this Bryan resi-
denCe attracts more attention than
all of them combined from these chance

INSUNCTIONS.
Parkersburg Sentinel.


One of the things that the ordinary
person cannot understand is the fail
ure of the coal mine owners to apply
to the local State authorities for pro-
lection, if the strikers are doing any
thing to menace the peace of the COM
munity, or interfere with the manage
ment Of their own property. Hereto
fore the rule has been supposed to
be that an injunction was an extraor-
binary process, and was usually re-
sorted to when ordinary means Of
litigation we're unavailable for the
remedies sought In the present con-
test there is no pretense that any law
has been violated, or that it is the
purpose or intent of the strikers to
violate any law, moral or civil, but
an appeal is set up, not in words, but
in meaning and effect, that the strikers
in their effort to better their condi-
ton may perhaps interfere with the
money-making capacity of the corpora
tons, and therefore they ask the court
to compel the strikers to cease their
effort to better their own condition,
and to do as the mine owner wants
them to do Now this is about the
long and the short of this coal mine
injunction business. They can talk
about menace and intimidation and all
that sort of thing as much as they
please, but we are facing a condition
that cannot be disputed, and that is
that the greatest strike ever known
in our country has been in existence
since July 5th, and that on the part
of the strikers there has been no dis
order, there has been no crime, there
has been no violation Of any law, there
has been no threat to do harm to per-
son or property, but, on the contrary,
every effort has been put forth by
the leaders of the strike to sustain
the law, to preserve peace and order
and to protect property. Everything
that pointed towards violence, that
pointed towards interference with the
civil officers of the State or or the
government, that would tend to pro-
woke any sort of collision or wrong
has been carefully and sedulously
avoided. 1t is not pretended by these
people who are begging the federai
courts to thrust the power of the United
States Government in to local commu-
mites in order that they may do bust
ness. that. as a fact, there is any dan
ger to be apprehended from anything
the strikers are doing except tnat
thew may succeed in their demand
and get better wages for their WORK.
and this they want to prevent.

DO Their Part Towards Keeping Miners
from Working.
Pittsburg Pa, August 1S.-All the
men remaining at Camp Determination
will conform more closely to military
law from this time. Three tents. each
large enough to accommodate 10 or 20
men, have been received, and these, to-
gether with the smaller tents that are
now scattered about, will be pitched to-
gether. They will be placed military
fashion in regular order with streets
between and the conmissary tent in
the middle.
In the morning the men are to march.
They will form in squads of twos and
threes instead of a solid body. Women
will be more than ever a factor in the
proceedings. They will circulate among
tn men going to work, doing what
missionary work they can. The men
discharged from camp who are still
lingering about, asserted that they
were ready to come back and join when
they are wanted.
Progress is reported by the commit
tee having in charge the uniformity
agreement. 1t was announced yester-
day that the solicitor had received the
signatures of about 60 per cent. of the
operators, and that it was expected
before the close of the week to secure
almost the required 50 per cent

AS TO TAXES.

Out in Chicago the people appear
to have awakened to the fact that
there is a great inequality in taxation,
and the Citizens Defense League has
been organized and is making some
pertinent inquiries as to the ratio be-
tween the Bradstreet rating of business
men and the figures set opposite their
names on the assessors books. In
most of the cases so far examined the
result is startling as we'll as instruc-
tive. And a good deal of evidence as
to the fixing" Of assessors is coming
to light. This is fine field for inves-
tigation in any big city. The people
who are assessed at the full value of
their property, and who pay their
taxes, cannot do better than take this
little matter up. Even here in Wheel
ing some folks would be surprised at
the taxes some other folks pay-and
don't pay.
