Owing to a chemical change in the
American smokeless powder and its conse-
quent deterioration it has been found ne
cessary to suspend the government con-
tract for the supply ordered sometime ago,
and to withdraw all OF that which was al
lotted to the different coast defense forti-
locations. The government placed an order
for 81, 900 worth of this powder. and a
recent experiment at Sandy Hook with
some of it that had been on hand nearly
two years, caused the explosion of a 100000
gun. Investigation established the fact
that chemical change had taken place
which resulted in forming more powerful
explosive and one which could not be used
with safety. The result is a loss 10 the
government of about 100000 already, and
it may even be more than that. Experts
are now trying 10 discover the cause of
deterioration and means TO prevent it,
for until then the smokeIess powder made
in this country cannot be used. In the
meantime the coast fortiications must do
without powder. or if they should have
need for it, a supply of the common black
variety will have to be furnished. 1t would
seem that there is stll some work before
the government experts before they solve
the powder proposition.

MILITARY DAY At ATLANTA.

The fair at Atlanta ought to be a sue
cess and it, TO doubt, will be. il
has had very powerful friends at work,
and they have expended an exceptional
amount of energy upon 1t. But there is
one matter in connection with the fair
which South Georgia military men are at
a loss 10 understand, namely. why the
acting adjutant general Of the state has
made such active use of his Office TO boom
and advertise the fair. The commanders
of the military organizations in all parts
OF the state have been literally lombard
ed with communications and kilograms
from the acting adjwant generals Office
for some days, urging, imploring them
to attend the fair on military day, with
all the men they could possibly muster. In
these communications some reference has
been made to the advantage which might
accrue to the military from parade be
fore the honorable members Of the Legs
lature; but the central idea seems to have
been TO whoop up the fair, and get the SOL
diers there, as a drawing card for the
show.
II seems to he the acting adjutant
generals idea that parade before the
members of the Legislature which might
so impress the Lawmakers with the
handsome and martial bearing of
the troops that H1ey would open their
hearts and loosen the states purse strings
for tho military, would be an argument
that would cause the boys" 10 tumble
over each other in their eagerness to reach
the capital and help make a holiday for
the benefit of the corporation running the
state fair But the boys do not see
things that way They arc pretty well
convinced that they have very little to ex-
pect from that Legislature which, at one
sWoop cut down the states military ap-
preparation from $4,000 TO $500 leaving
the troops to get along as best they could,
meantime holding themselves ready TO re-
spond upon the instant to any call which
the state might make upon them. If that
body of legislators should see the fun
military strength OF the state on parade,
in clean clothes and with smiling faces,
it might feel constrained to discontinue all
appropriations whatsoever if indeed it did
not propose TO charge the men something
for the privilege of being state troops.
The main stay of the civil government
is the volunteer militia, as was illustrated
recently in the case of the disturbances
in Mcintosh county. on that one occas-
ion the Savannah military sacrificed twice
as much as tie total appropriation of the
state for the whole year for all of its mi
lita. The sacrifice was made uncom-
plainnsly, because it was a matter of
duty The Savannah soldiers who left
their business and went to Darien
are still waiting for their pay.
Now the state owes a duty to the
soldiers, just as much as the soldiers owe
duty to the state But the state, latterly,
has not discharged that duty. The major
ity in the Legislature has not been far
sighted and broad-minded enough to do
the best thing for the public good. And
it is not likely that the acting adjutant
generals proposed parade of state troops
as a fair attraction would work much
change upon our Statesmen"

FISH AND FISHING IN GEORGIA

The fishing industry in Georgia is one
by no means the least in this state
Small though 1t may be in comparison to
some of those which involve hundreds of
thousands or millions, it has attained a
state of responsibility which few people
suspect. This is shown beyond doubt by
the figures presented by the report of ,the
Commission of Fish and Fisheries for the
year 1897, just issued from the government
printing Office.
During that year 1859 persons were en-
gagged in fisheries in Georgia of which 1,245
were boat fishermen, and 465 shoresriieu.
The Investment in boats, tackle and othcr
necessary paraphernalia amounted TO Ssh
S64 The yield of the fisheries of Georgia
during 1897 amounted 20 1898, 1e0 pounds
valued at $l70,605. The most important
items in the fisheries of Georgia are oys-
tiers, the yield during that year being
valued at $S6.7O9, and shad the value OF
which was $i67O5. The catch of terrapin
was valued at 81, 254 and of sturgeon at
$1,000. The value of the products, when
crease of S47,042.
IL is evident from the foregoing tnat the
importance of fisheries in Georgia is on the
increase. The amount and value of the
product has been increasing year by year.
and the only limit 10 it seems to be the
amount of effort and knowledge that are
devoted to the work. Few people, perhaps
had any idea that nearly 1000 persons
made their living from the products of the
sea in this state. yet such seems TO be
the case, according to the official govern
ment reports. The chances are that there
has been considerable increase since these
statistics were obtained. OF course the
most important fishing counties in the
state are those ION the Atlantic seaboard,
including Chatham Bryan, Mcintosh,
Glynn, Camden, Wayne and Liberty. OF
these Wayne is the only county not on
the coast. yet its fisheries seem to have
been important enough to have been noted
in the official records. From the record
of progress made there would seem to be
room in the business for many more than
are now engaged in it,

was made TO an English company. which
first brought the cases to Plymouth and
then transferred them to the British

The purchase of the cruiser New Or
leans from the government of Brazil just
prior to the war with Spain, IS
now admitted TO have been a ques-
tioneble bargain, probably the only
successful feature of which was
that she was not secured by Spain.
The recent test of the cruiser to deter
mine whether or not she should be sent
to Manila, showed that she listed about a
foot under a weight of fifteen tons, and
she has established an evil reputation for
rolling. While no decision has been
reached as regards her forthcoming trip
to the Pacific. 1t looks from all accounts
as if remodeling is the only remedy.

A Maine granite company has trouble on
its hands because the Italian stone cutters
there have gone out on strike and refuse
to return to work until ell the Americans
have been discharged. The company has
large contracts on hand and is seriously
embarrassed as a result. This, 1t may be
said, is entirely a new condition that con-
fronts the country. The idea that foreign
labor should refuse to work. under any
circumstances. with American labor has
heretofore seemed absurd but this incident
suggests the possibility of more serious
interference with American labor than the
American people have ever had any
idea of.

Pat and The Parrot.

A parrot, in a remote country district,
escaped from its cage on the roof of a
laborcr's cottage, says the Argonaut.
When it had been there a little time the
laborer caught sight of it. He had never
seen such d thing before, and after gaz-
ing in admiration at the bird, with its
curious beak and beautiful pumage, he
brought a ladder and climbed up it with
the view of securing so great a prize.
When his head reached the level of the
roof the parrot tapped a wing at him and
said: what dye want?''
Very much taken aback, the laborers po-
iitcly touched his cap and replied: Il
beg your pardon, sir; 1 thought you were

The apathy shown in the regis ration in

An expert has figured out that already
the actual cost of transportation by the au-
tomoblle is far less than that of horses en-
ployed in the same work. Experiments
have shown, he says, that the cost Of
transportation by certain kind of motor
truck can be reduced to three cents per ton
per mile while the same transportation by
the use of horses costs from eighteen to
twenty-four cents per ton per mile.
