WORE CONFEDERATE BADGE
VETERANS AT MACON RECEIVE
PRESIDENT WARMLY.
Mckinley Declares That Every Moment
Of Ills visit South nas Been
Greatly Enloyed.

President Mckinley left the state Of
Georgia Monday night after one Of the
ploasantest trips OF his life. His
southern tour, which was given such
magnificent inaugural at Atlanta, was
not only uniformly pleasant, but uni-
iormly successful, and, as he said. 81
have enjoyed every minute Of my time
in the south"
The chief executive returns to Wash
ington confident that his trip will re-
suit in a more thorough, indeed, a per-
feet understanding between the north
and south; that the north has a better
understanding Of the race problem
ever present in the south, and that the
people of the south had better real
ization Of the fact that all sectional
lines have been eliminated; and lie
feels that having contributed to this
end, he, the president, has good cause
for self congratulation.
In his remarks at Augusta he babe
an adieu to the south in general, re-
ferred in touching terms to the pleas
ure Of his visit to this section, and
how he would ever cherish the memo
ries of it.
The early part oisihe day Monday
was devoted to Macon, and the closing
hours to Augusta. At both places the
entertainment was pleasant and inter
esting. Naturally, the military played
the most important part at each city.
The most interesting feature Of the
Macon visit was the reception given
the president by the Bib County
Confederate Veterans association and
the testimonial they presented him.
The president carried back with him
as the most interesting memento Of
his trip that parchment bearing his
own golden words about the confeder.
ate graves with the Endorsement Of
these southern soldiers written on it.
AT Macon the president wore while
speaking Confederate veterans badge
which an old soldier of the Confederacy
had pinned on his coat.
At Augusta the veterans made a de-
cidedly unique display, being ranged
in front of the speakers stand will
their battlefront Confederate flags anC
dressed in their old uniforms of gray
The reception at the Commercial Clul
was a very delightful affair, and every
body was pleased with the splendid
showing of the troops at Camp Nc
Kenzie.

PRESIDENT IN SAVANNAH.
Troops Under Major Keifer Reviewed.
Banquet at the Desoto.

Troops Under Major Keller Reviewed.
banquet at the Desoto.
President Mckinley and his party
arrived at Savannah, Ga, at II o'clock
Saturday morning. They were met at
the depot by a tremendous crowd. The
Georgia Hussars acted as an escort to
the party to the parade grounds, where
review of some fourteen thousand
troops encamped about Savannah, un-
der command of Major General Warren
Keller, was held.
The streets from the depot to the
parade grounds were one mass of peo-
pie.
The principal feature of the passage
through the streets was the great re-
ception rendered General Joe Wheeler.
The doughty little general was kept
standing in his carriage almost the
entire length of the drive bowling his
acknowledgements to the plaIaits of
the crowd.
After the review there was trip
down the river on the pilot boat J. H.
Estell, ana at night there was grand
banquet at the DeSoto hotel, at which
the president and members of the cab
met made speeches.
Notwithstanding Sunday was sup
posed to be day Of rest with the
presidential party, it was, as a matter
of fact, filled with interest and activ-
ity. The feature of the day was the
presidents visit to the Georgia Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college, the
institution for colored persons, sup
ported by the state of Georgia. It's
president, R. R. Wright, colored, was
recently appointed by President Nc
Kinley a paymaster in the volunteer
army, with the rank of major, but has
resigned and returned to the school.
There were no elaborate exercises con-
nected with the visit OF the president
to the college.

A PECULIAR WRECK.
Swiftly Running Train Bumps over Cross
tics on High Trestle.

Swiftly Running Train Bumps over Cross
tics on High Trestle.
A wreck occurred on the Indiana,
Decatur and Western railroad Sunday
morning, fifty miles west of Indian
apolis, near Guion station. The In
dianapolis express, east bound, left the
tracks west Of q high trestle, and
passed over the trestle, which is sixty
feet long, with seven coaches off the
rails and humping along the ties.
The trestle is fifty feet high and it
is considered phenomenal that the
train was not hurled off into the
creek, in which event the slaughter of
life would have been awful, The rear
car had just left the trestle when a
spreading of the rails ahead of the
baggage car piled the seven cars into
heap. The baggage car aud smoker
were ground almost into splinters and
all of the cars were badly wrecked.
There were about fifty passengers
on the train. One man was killed and
about a dozen more or less injured.

Time was when 10 have written a
book gave a person some degree Of
distinction. Men aud women we're
pointed ont as the authors of certain
books, and these books, once named
in educated circles, were recognized.
But that time has measurably gone by.
To have written a book nowadays is to
have done what thousands Of others
have done, and are busily engaged at
this very hour in doing. The state
mcntamounts to little more than does

has designed an Office building, has
invented a labor-saving machine, has
constructed new kind of street-car

A crowd Of Cubans Of the lower
class passed n barracks Of engineers
on the Infanta avenue, shouting,
"Long live Cuba" and death to
Spain" and firing shots into the air in
celebration Of the evacuation of Cerro.
The crowd then passed on from the
Calzada del Monte to the Calzada del
Cerro, stopping the street cars and
compelling the passengers to shout
"Yiya Cuba libre."
Jose Gancedo and his cousin, Teo-
doro Huertas, who were on the cars,
were wounded with knives Gancedo
died within few hours and Huertas
will probably die.
Later the crowd met some engineers
at the Esquina do Taias and fred upon
them, seriously wounding one. The
engineers returned the fire, wounding
street car conductor, a civilian, Iso-
doro Basols and John Leonard, a coll
ored man.
The rioting continued, many shots

What butter is not sold at that price

In this way the price is kept up. Co
operation among farmers is admittedly
one of the most difficult of social
problems. Farming is generally car
Fied on with insufficient capital, which
makes the farmer long credit man,
and places him largely in the hands
of the middlemen, Farming really
requires liberal education and large
executive ability. What the farmers
OF New South Wales have done, how
ever, might be done by American
farmers, especially since the London

be done with cotton, for the obvious
reason that the London market is
