THE GEORGIA WHEAT T
GROWERS CONVENTION.

There was a well attended con-
vention of the wheat growers OF
Georgia held at Macon on the 18th.
Tie convention was an eminent
success. Hon. J. Pope Brown, of
Pulaski, presided with his custom
ary grace and ability, and capital
speeches were made by q dozen or
more of the delegates.
The Macon Telegraph, through
whose praiseworthy efforts a grow

aroused, gives a full and interest

the convention; but we have room
only for the following extracts:

TOWN KILLERS.

This. from the Aiken Journal
and Review, is the most sensible
observation on the "town killer"
discussion that we have seen:
"Some of our State newspapers are
discussing town killers; but they
do not seem to agree on any one
variety as being the worst.
Every town has it's "town killer"
The man who sends out of town
for groceries, shoes, clothing,
printing or anything else he can
get in his town, is a town-killer.
Nothing makes town 80 pros
porous as keeping money at home.
The "town killer" is everywhere
The only remedy is to multiply
the "town builders" until the
''town killer" feels lonely and joins
the majority. In the past Aiken
has had it's "town killers''-it has
some now-but it's "town builders
are in the traces as is evident by
our substantial progress"

Another melancholy incident
upon these return trips to market,
occurred, which you will pardon
us for mentioning. 1t was the
case of "Billy" Mitchell, who lived
on Mountain Creek. 1t was cold
rainy disagreeable time. Arriving
at home in the night it was found
that be was raying maniac, with
demonstrations of violence to his
family. His wife and children
left the premises for safety. He
continued in that state for weeks.
His neighbors built little log CAB
in and placed him in it for safety.
He became a mere skeleton from
emaciation. He never slept nor
ceased to talk for weeks. During
this period his wife sickened and
died and one two of his children.
After months of afliction, he grad,
ually recovered and moved to. the
State of Alabama. We saw bis

that the Philippine Islands if we
ever get them under control, should
be used for a penal colony, and
that all criminals from this coun-

In weighty paper just prepared for
the French Bulletin Medical, Dr. Bru-
non, an eminent medical writer, de-
clares that the greatest national peril
hanging over France just now is alco-
holism, and more than all, alcoholism
among women. Singularly enough his
researches have demonstrated that the
women OF picturesque Normandy are
more completely in the grasp OF the
drink fiend than the women of any 9TH
err province Of France. Drink is sold
by the grocer, the coal dealer-even by
the green grocer; and what is still
more fatal. nearly every shopkeeper
dispenses wee drops" to customers
worth eultivating- to steady the
connection. The question assumes
dark aspect in its relation to the ter
rlble infant mortality In Normandy,
which DR.. Brunon attributes to the al
most universal prevalence OF chronic
alcoholism among women of the peas
ant and artisan classes.-London

ter Of fact, the firing begins when the
combatants are miles apart and ends

dental. This is particularly true with
respect to the warfare now in progress

Sample 81 tioss warrants Were Prepared
In Old Tisnrs.

In Old Tiinrs.
During the work OF rebuilding the
Royal Bull hotel OF hartford. England,
an old hosiery and landmark, some IN
teresting discoveries were made last
month. says the Baltimore Sun. In
1913 murder had been committed at
the house and the body disappeared
mysteriously. A skeleton now dug up,
three feet below the flooring Of an old
cellar, leads to the belief that It was
the remains OF the victim Of the ira
gedy. A secret staircase was brought
to light, and. as this communicates by
invisible doors In the walls Of the cell
lar with the room IN which the tragedy
occurred, II strengthens the belief that
the body was taken down the stair
case and bnried. AT the came time a
humber Of death warrants. bearing the
signature Of Portland. minister Of
George Ill, were found in the panels
OF the walls in which the murder was
committed. How documents of this
character got into so strange a hiding
place is matter for conjecture. One.
dated June, 1898. is good sample OF
how warrants were prepared in those
days. It reads: Whereas, James
O'Coigley, having been attained OF

upon him to be drawn upon a hurdle
