A Thrilling Fight.

II witnessed knife fight between a cou-
pie of Italian sawmill hands the other
day." said a resident of the Pearl river
district, who is interested in the lumber
business, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, land it was the most
dramatic, desperate and thrilling specta-
Gle l ever laid eyes on. Neither of the
men was particularly large, but they were
1.-the and sinewy, and quick as lightning.
How the row originated l don't know
they had been growing at each other for
some time, and on this particular dav
things came TO a focus while they were
eating their lunch on a raised platform
just over the log hoist. The platform
was perfectly clear, and If the scene had
been arranged for play it couldn't have
been better. I heard the engineer call
and looked up to see the two men bent
nearly double, and wheeling around each
other in rapid circles. Their evident pur-
pose in crouching was to guard against
a wound in the intestines, and there was
something indescribably ferocious and cat
like in the attitude. They kept their left
arms thrown out as leaders. clutched their
knives close to their breasts, and glared
silently into cath others eyes as thew mass

MINED THOSE BROTHERS UP.

Our esteemed and usually astute con-
temporary. the Atlanta Constitution,
seems TO have got the Belmont brothers
so badly mixed that when they read its
leading article in its Mondays issue they
will be in doubt as TO where they are
at" If we are not mistaken, the Consti-
tuition took occasion to say, when Mr..
Bryan declined to accept an invitation to
the dinner Of the Democratic Club, of
that Mr.. Belmont was not a Democrat,
because he had bolted the regular Demo-
cratic ticket in 1896. On Sunday the Con-
stitution printed along with the other
papers of the country, letter from Mr..
Oliver H. p. Belmont, in which the writer
said that although a god man. he would
willingly support the Chicago platform if
reaffirmed in 1900 In its issue on Monday
the Constitution said:
He will give his fun support to any
candidate whom the convention Selects
This being the case, Mr.. Belmont is as
good a Democrat as anybody, and meas
ures up to the fun standard of Democ-
racy. When the Constitution said the
other day that Mr.. Belmont was not a
Democrat when MIR. Bryan wrote the let
ter declining to sit at a political din
ner engineered by a man who was known
TO have opposed the candidates and plat
form of the party in 1896 there was no
other means of judging Mr. Belmont's De-
mocracy than those afforded by his at
tack on the party at the Palmer Buckner
demonstration in New York city. He was
then a bolter, and he presided over a
meeting of boilers. and this is why Mr..
Bryan asked him, before declining his in
vitation, whether he had made any public
declaration since 1886, placing himself In
line with the party"
OF course, the Constitution is not to
blame for asserting that Perry Belmont
Is a good Democrat, although 1t declared
he was not a Democrat a few days ago.
It is probable, however. that he has not
undergone any change Of heart since he
received MIR. Bryan's refusal to attend
the SO dinner OF the Democratic Club. The
Belmont who is going 20 stand by the Chi
cago platform isn't going to attend the
$40 dinner. He is going to attend the 81
dinner provided the promoters CO il sue
coed in adjusting their quarrels. and IL IL
understood that he is bidding for the vice
presidential nomination on the ticket with
Mr. Bryan.

PER SONAL.

-Esterhazy of Dreyfus affair fame, who
is writing articles for the Paris newspa-

probably go to the Soudan, but regrets
that he has not money enough to join Ag
uinaldo to serve in the insurgent army.
Mitchell Ryan of Hawley, in this state,
aged 10 years. has written 20 Richard Gro

The Rev. Father Thomas P. McLaugn-
lin during the hearing on the question of
raiding Pell street, which runs through the
heart of New Yorks Chinatown, said that
wealthy women frequently go Summing in
that street and pay poor girls to smoke
opium in order that they may see how it
is done. Father Mclaughlin has been pas
tor of the Church of the TRANSPORTATION in
Chinatown for many years, and knows
whereof he speaks.
DIR. Waetzold, writing in LIE Journal d
Hygiene, declares that to humping the
piano daily through long hours of practice
is due the thinness of blood and weakness
of nerves of so many young girls. He says
out of 1000 studying piano before the age
of II, 600 were afflicted with nervous trou-
BILE later on, while only 200 of those who
began playing at a later age were affected
and only 100 of those who never played.
DIR. Waetzold makes no attempt to esti-
mate the troubles which come to those
who have to listen to the practicing.

COMMISSIONER STEVENS WORK.

The Commissioner Of Agriculture OF this
state. Mr.. o. B. Stevens, is doing his ut
most TO make his Office valuable to the
farmers. He travels about the state
very considerable part of his time, and
hence knows the conditions which prevail
in each section among the farmers He
is therefore better prepared TO advise
them than II he never yentured beyond
the limits Of the city in which his office
is located. He has been. and is STILL try
ing to get farmers to pay more attention
to food crops and less to cotton, and he is
meeting with a fair measure OF success.
There is money to be made In this state
In raising cattle-much more than there is
to be made in cultivating cotton. Now IL
takes about all the profit there is in cotton
to pay for the fertilizers necessary to raise
a crop of II. And the fertilizers used in
raising cotton do not do the land any per-
manent good. On the other hand the land
Of stock farms becomes better every year
because Of the large amount or fertilizing
material which accumulates on farms of
that kind.
The commissioner should use all OF his
influence to induce farmers to bring their
farms up to high state of cultivation.
The most of them are poor because their
land is poor. Let them make their land
rich and 1t will make them rich. And
they can make their lands rich without a
great deal of expense or trouble. Let them
cultivate very considerable part of their
farms in grain crops and give attention
to the raising of cattle, hogs and sheep.
The cattle will eat the grain and make
the land rich so that one acre will make
as much cotton as three or four acres
does now, and 1t will not cost near as
much to cultivate the one acre as 1t does
the three or four acres. There is money
in farming, but 1t takes good management
to get it, 1t takes good MANAGEMENT.
however, 10 make money in any kind of
business.
A successful farmer has got to do a
good deal of thinking and he must be ca
pable of reaching correct conclusions. If
he is content to move along in the same
old ruts year after year he will always
be poor He must get new ideas and ap-
ply them. In that way, and in no other.
will he be able to get ahead In the world.
The Commissioner of Agriculture is ready
and willing to help all farmers who desire
such help as he can give. Those farmers
who take the trouble to consult him and
read the articles which he publishes will
never have occasion to regret having done
So On the contrary, If they follow the
advice they receive they will have reason
to be thankful for asking him for guild

GERMAN-AMERICANs AGAINST ENG


The German-Americans of Chicago feel
they have a grievance against those news
papers which have been saying kind tbtnss
about the English. At the great meeting
which they held in that city on Monday
night they wanted it distinctly understood
that they are against any alliance between
this country and England From their
point of view Germany is just as good a
friend Of the United States as England is.
The fact that in the war with Spain Eng
land was in sympathy with us,
and the fact that we were In
doubt whether Germany was our
friend or not, seem to have made no i'm
preston upon them. It is well known that
for weeks at Manila Admiral Dewey didn't
know but that he would have to train his
guns on the German warships there.
The German-Americans are doubtless in
the right in protesting against an alliance
with England or with any other Power of
Europe. We would make great mistake
If we should form entangling alliances
with European nations, but there is no
harm to be apprehended from expressions
of a kindly feeling for the European Pow
er that was our outspoken friend in our
trouble with Spain.
An expression like that on Monday night
shows how strong the German sentiment
in some portions of the West. and partic-
ularly in Chicago. is. 1t has not been so
very long since in localities in Wisconsin
an effort was made by the German citi-
zens to have the German language ex-
clusively taught in the public schools The
services in some of the churches in that
state are conducted entirely in the Ger
man language. In fact, the Germans. in
communities where they are particularly
strong in numbers, would like to preserve
the customs and establish the laws and
language of their native land That is not
the case with immigrants from any other
country. The English, Irish, Norwegians,
and in fact, all of the other peoples of Eu-
tempt to obstruct assimilation.
The fact is that Chicago has a strong
German flavor. There are more German
Americans there than there are Americans
OF English decent-at least there were
when the last enumeration was made. At
that time there were 4SS,OO0 citizens of
American parentage and birth, and there
were 10000 Germans and German Ameri-
cans. 1t is not 10 wondered at, there
fore, that resolutions were adopted there
expressing opposition to any sort of an
alliance with England. 1t may be, also,
place April 4. had something to do with
the calling of a meeting intended prob
ably to strengthen the German sentiment
and consolidate the German vote in favor
of some particular ticket.

Congressman Livingston of the Fifth
Georgia district tells the Washington Post
that the negro organizations throughout
the country, such as Masons, Odd Eel
lows, labor unions, etc." are seriously
considering the advisability of going over
to the Democratic party, in the hope of
lettering their condition. They argue
that twenty years of loyalty to the Repub-
hcans in the North have brought them no

However, Notwithstanding the optimistic
view of the gentleman from the Fifth. il
IS altogether likely that the black dele
gates from the South will be much sought
after in the next Republican national con-
vention. and that when the election comes
the bulk of the black vote will be cast for
the Republican nominees.

There are going to be Jefferson dinners
In New York 10 suit all Democrats, Of
whatever shade of opinion respecting de-
tails of public policy. Besides the orig
inal so dinner, and the original 81 dinner,
concerning which so much has been said,
there are TO be forthcoming no less than
three other Jefferson dinners, ranging in
price from 81 per plate to nothing. AT
meeting of 81 dinner promoters in Clar-
endon Hall the other night there was a
row as to whether or not 1t should be call
ed a Chicago platform function. One
faction declared against the proposition,
with the result that there will be two 81
dinners. one having the Chicago label, and
the other running without that emblem
And then there will be the Manhattan
Single Tax Clubs dinner, at 81 per plate.
And last, but not least by any means, will
be the feast under the auspices of Patrick
Jerome Gleason, sometime Mayor of Long
Island city. who declares that he will set
up spread for all hungry Democrats Of
his bailiwick who have not got the price
of a feed" Thus it seems that there
ought to be few hungry Democrats within
the precincts of the greater New York on
or about the date of the birthday of the
great apostle of the party.

Those Atlanta ministers who have de.
termined not to inject prohibition into poll
tics or politics into prohibition, as one
may please 10 put it-have chosen wisely.
There are adequate prohibitory laws upon
the statute books already. All that is nee.
essary 20 the establishing of prohibition in
any county 10 Georgia is to make the ma
Jority of public sentiment in favor of thar
pan oil dealing with the liquor question.
Under che law, each county Is
gwen the option of deciding for
hset what Il shall do in the mat.
ter of the sale of liquor. When probih,-

IS real prohibition. and not the farcica,
'hing thai has been seen wherever an en-
aoreemenl of prohibition has been attemnt-
ed against majority of public opinion.

hearty support to a party of which he was
