STORY OF THE COLLISION.
Great Alarm Prevailed Among the
TnIInhnssee's Passengers.

Great Alarm Prevailed Among the
TnIInhnssee's Passengers.
The saloon of the Tallahassee was
scene of the widest excitement when the
vessel was rammed by the four-masled
schooner Senator Sullivan recently, when
she had just left New York bay on her
way to Savannah. Mr.. David C. Barrow
was among her passengers, and he gives a
graphic description of the collision and the
scenes that rapidly ensued.
1t was not long after . O'clock Mr.. Bar
row said. when the vessel was struck She
was about twenty-five miles out from New
York. and the night was perfectly clear.
Contrary to the first report there were
many passengers aboard, some of The
staterooms having two.
Many of the ladies, of whom there were
a number among the passengers, retired
before the collision occurred Mr.. Barrow
had just performed some service for Sa-
vannah lady and was standing &C her
stateroom door, having handed In the
tickets he was asked to secure, when the
steamship sounded her whistle.
There was a note of dispair about that
whistle" said Mr.. Barrow. LAS soon as l
heard II sound In that way / knew there
was something wrong. Co-incident with
the blast came the reversal Of the engines,
and the vessel shook and strained In every
joint. We could feel her veer violently
off to the starboard, the wheel having
been put hard down. Then came the crash
of the collision, and the ship trembled with
the shock.
with the first blast of the whistle the
confusion started in the saloon. Many of
the men were already on deck and most
of the others rushed out at once. II was
he natural fmpuiea NJ al IN cot on 1aaIx
/ wanted to go myself, and / won't deny
that / was scared. For the first time In
my life ] knew what II meant 10 have
hands and feet grow cold with fear.
oVercame my desire to rush on deck and
tried as best / could to calm the lady TO
whom / had been talking. she prepared
herself for a trip to outer air and the deck.
Lady passengers were rushing about the
saloon in all stages Of dress and undress.
They were frantic with fear falling on
one another's necks and crying and Shrek
ing, and some of the men were almost rs
bad The officers Of the vessel were doing
the best they could TO calm the passengers,
but their efforts were useless. III never
believe after this that officers can do any
thing under such circumstances. Human
fear aboard ship can't be allayed by words.
Above the uproar you might hear the Of
ficers calling out Keep cool" Keep
COOL" but they might as well have been
saying nothing. he Dest tning they Ola
was to slam the saloon doors and keep
the passengers inside. II some of the wo-
men could have got on deck they would
have jumped overheard"
Mr. Barrow confirms the report that the
ITALIA hassee circled about looking for the
vessel with which she had collided before
going back 10 New York. Nothing was to
be seen Of her, however. and after a time
Capt Askins went back TO the Ocean
Steamship Companys pier. The passen-
gers were transferred to the City of Ma
con and it was or that vessel they reach
ed Savannah.

practice cannibalism, and 1 have always
had strong curiosity to see and talk to

you arrange 1t for me-?
lie smiled In answer TO my question
and then told me that he had lived there
forty years; that all the natives were civ
ilized and Christians and that there had
not been case of cannibalism on the
Island in half a century. However, he
continued, there are a few old men here
who practiced canniballsm In their young
err days, and l will send for one OF them''
In few minutes a tall and stately
looking old man entered the house and sa-
luted us. This is a former .cannibal,' said
my host, but he only talks his native
language.

A NEW FERTILIZER BILL.
Committee Votes FavOrabIy on Mr..
JOrdan's Measure.

JOrdan's Measure.
Atlanta, Nov. 9.-The House Committee
on Agriculture this afternoon after hear
ing from representatives of the fertilizer
interests of the state, voted to favoraby
report the bill by Mr.. Jordan of Jasper to
consolidate the fertilizer laws of Georgia.
One of the main features of the bill is
that the purchaser can have samples of
the goods sealed in bottle by the ordi-
nary of the county, and if the user has
reason to believe 1t does not come up to
the guaranteed analysis, he can have the
same sent to the state chemist for analy-
sis, and if the brand falls per cent. be-
low, the manufacturer can only collect the
commercial value of the ingredients act
ually contained, less the freight and mid
dlemans profit, or. in other words, the
actual cost of the goods.
Messrs. J. Rice Smith of Augusta, Fisch-
er of Newman and Huguenin fought the
passage of the bill.
Agricultural Commissioner Stevens ap-
peared before the committee and strongly
Endorsed the measure. The bill will pass
the House without much trouble, but it is
difficult to predict its fate in the Senate.

Great Thoughts of Great Men.

1t is great deal better to live a

fire cannons to call attention to

In the darkest hour of life the soul

Dwight Hills.
There are some men and some
women in whose company we are
always at our best. While with
them we cannot think mean
thoughts or speak ungenerous
words. Their mere presence is
elevation, publication, sanctity.
All the best stops in our nature are
drawn out of their intercourse, and
we find a music in our souls that
was never there before. Henry
Drummond.
No seaman has failed which has
sent one man away richer by sin

run, is the worth of the individuals
composing it. S. Mill.
We put too much faith in systems,
and look too little to men.-R. Dis

Any class of men that lives from
hand to mouth will ever be an lnfe-

remain lmpotent and helpless,

Having no respect for themselves,

Sleep Without a Pillow.

1t is hardly like that the pillow
was invented by any one in particu-
"a. 1t was in the first instance,
there is every reason to believe, a
very rational institution and con-
: sisted of a small pad upon which to
rest the head when beds were by
no means the luxurious affairs that
they are today.
The pillows in use to-day are re-
rsponsible for many evils, which you
may be willing to admit when they
re appointed out toyou, and if you
would test the efficacy OF their disuse
you would become as ardent an ad-
vocate of the custom as the writer.
X There is no greater fallacy than
the belief that big downy pillow
conduces to healthy rest in sleeping.
You sink into its embrace and delude
yourself that you are comfortable
with your head resting upon the
dear, soft, coy mass of feathers.
Yet, if the pillow slip away from you
in your sleep, do you mss its seem
ingly soothing influence? No. and
if you can sleep thus comfortably
and not know it, why should you
not have the courageto put it away
altogether?
The pillow may seem TO breathe
out beautiful dreams 20 you; but,
while it is beguiling your attention
with it's seeming restfulness, 1T may
be pushing your ears out OF shape
and it is certainly making wrinkles
in your neck and deepening the hol-
lows over the chest by forcing the
head forward. 1t may seem little
thing in itself, but happening every
night it will rob you of all the beau
ty your eck-yould naturally have
and nullify the good of any exercise
you may take. Aside from the BEN
efits to be derived from a shapely
neck and chin, to sleep without a
pillow will conduce to health and
greater restfulness. 1t may seem
strange at first, even bit painful,
but if presevered ID you can very
soon oversome this, and the good to
Sbe derived will well repay you.

Why Should Poultry Pay?

Some enthusiastic writer, who
believes that there is more profit in
poultry 'than in any other pursuit
on the farm, gives his reason there
for in the following paragraphs.
l. Because you ought by this
means to convert agreat deal of the
waste of the farm into money, in the
shape of eggs and chickens for mar
ket.
2. Because with intelligent man
agement they ought to be all-year
revenue producers, excepting. per-
haps, about two months during
moulting season.
3. Because poultry will yield you
a quicker return for the capital in
vested than any of the other depart
ments of agriculture.
4. Because the manure from poul-
try house will make valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds
themselves, if allowed to run in the
orchard, willdestroy many injurious
insects.
5. Because while cereals and
fruits can only be successfully
grown in certain sections, poultry
can be raised for table use or to
