Talk about New Railroads.

MACON, Ga, Jan. 19.-lt has devel0
ped that Macon men are interested in
another railroad. 1t WAS said at one
time that no railroad scheme Oh earth.
no matter how alluring, would ever
capture any Macon money, and it has
not III fact tranSpirrd hat actual cash
investment is involved in the lending
Of the names of the Macon people to
the undertaking to build Il road from
Andersen. S. c., 10 Carabclle, Fla, bnt
certain it is that McSsrS George \.
Smith, the president of he chamber of
cmmerce, Mir. Howard Smith and Mr..
Il. j. CARING appear among the incor-
porators of Il road to be built between
these two points.
The charter for The road is now be-
ing applied for in the counties through
which the road runs. 1t is an impor-
tant and :. daring venture. English
capital is, it is said, behind the scheme,
but just who the men are it is not yet
given out. In fact the whole under
taking seems to be Shrouded in good
deal OF mystery and the incorporators
have kept the plans of the road pro-
found secret SO that the announcement
that they We're interested in Il railroad
seems to have created no small scnsa-
ton
Mr.. George A. Smith, speaking of the
matter. said that the road would be
built and that it would be q big thing
for the whole South in that the road
was destined to play very important
part in the future of business with the
southern ports and Nicaragua trade.
The incorporators seem to think that
there is ample money here for the un
dertaking, that is TO say that the money
will be forthcoming when the English
men are called upon to put up. They
will themselves take stock in the road.
1t is said that the road is an outcome
or in connection with the Black Dia
mond road about which so much has
been said in the newspapers.-4tiant0

Col. Albert Z. Boone now has con-
tracts signed up for the different divis-
ions of the Black Diamond System of
Railways, aggregating oversee, ,OOO,O 900.
All of these are in the name of Albert
f. Boone and altogether make the
largest contract ever held by a single
individual in the United States. 1t is
through him that all contracts for
actual work can be put in force ut all
available points along the line silnulta-
ncously, us soon as the money is ready
fol the work. This will insure rapid
construction, for when the sub-con
tractors get down to work after that
money you will see the dirt fiy.-Dorer

Alr. Roberts, who has been elected to
Congress from Utah, should be fired
bodily from the House OF Representa-
tiyes upon the assembling of the new
Congress. This country cannot afford
to tolerate polygamist as lawmak-
er, especially one who has been tried,
convicted, and punished by fine, i'm
prisonment and disfranchisement, and
who still openly violates the law. His
case is one which no man can consider
from other than a moral standpoint,
neither can the immortality of other
congressman be urged as ajustitica-
tion in his behalf. Men may go to
Congress who favor free trade, free
silver, free transportation, or even free
whiskey, but when it comes to free and
unlimited love the line of demarcation
has been reached. The parting of the
ways, so to speak, has been arrived at.

Xinley has once again changed, or is

to an imitation of the government that

How Animals Bear Pain.
From Parsons Weekly.

From PearSOnS weekly.
One of the most pathetic things is
the manner in which the animal king
dom endures suffering. Take horses,
for instance, in battle. After the first
shock of a wound they make no sound.
They bear the pain with mute, won
dering endurance, and if at night you
hear a wild groan from the battlefield
it comes from their loneliness, their
loss of that human companionship
which seems absolutely Indispensable
to the comfort of domesticated ami
mails.
The dog will carry broken leg for
days wistfully and uncomplainingly.
The cat, stricken with stick or stone,
or caught in some trap from which it
gnaws its way to freedom, crawls to
some secret place and bears in silence
pain which We could not endure. Sheep
and cattle often meet the thrust of the
butchers knife without a sound, and
even common poultry endure intense
agony without complaint.
The dove shot unto death flies to
some far-off bough, and as it dies the
silence is unbroken save by the patter
on the leaves of its own life blood. The
wounded deer speeds to some thick
brake, and in pitiful submission waits
for death.
The eagle, shot in mid-air, fights to
the last against the fatal summons.
There is no moan or sound of pain,
and the defiant look never fades from
its eyes until the lids close over them
never to uncover again.

WOMAN RUNS A SAWMIIL,
A st. Louis Girl Whom Necessity Com
PEELED to Go Into Business

Miss Amelia Judson became q saw
miller all in one day. Six or seven
years ago her brother. Andrew p. Jud-
son, left ST. Louis and went to North
ern Arizona (having inherited a con-
siderable fortune from an uncle at his
birthplace, Fulton, MOI convinced that
there was money in developing the
sugar pine forests in Coconino county
between Williams, Ari.. and the Grand
canyon of the Colorado river. Inside of
year he invested $4,000 in timber
lands and built a sawmill and estab-
lished the Judson lumber camp, 20
miles northeast of Williams. lie made
speciality of timber suitable for boxes
for the California fruit trade and from
the start was successful.
In June, 1898, young Judson's mother
and sister came to visit LIN. Miss
Amelia Judson had just finished a
course at Cornell university and ex-
pected, after leaving Arizona, - go to
Paris to study art.
But misfortune prevent ed. Only
week before she and her mother had
intended to return to ST. Louis Andre w
Judson became suddenly i'll with ty-
phoid fever and died. That was last
October
There was but one thing to do. Three
important contracts for lumber and box
material We're in course of fulfllment
died. Both mother and daughter real
lied that thousands of dollars Of their
money was tied up in the lumber camp
and that the only way to save It, avoid
ing a forced sale, was to keep the plant
in operation.
And so it was that college-bred Anne
liza Judson became sawmiller in the
heart of the Bill Williams mountains
in Arizona.
She went to the Office and took
charge The rough men who saw her
wondered at her temerity and hardi-
hood: then they admired her pluck and
determined to help her in every way
possible. She went into the woods with
the logging teams and learned every
detail of the work of converting a
standing tree into lumber or fruit box
es. She got out her brothers contracts
in time, took further orders and pros
pered at every turn.
Running a sawmill has passed the
experimental stage with me-" said Miss
Judson. THE fact that We have made
money every month since February, or
since l got the run of the work is no
credit of mine, but the result of my
brothers establishment of the business.
/ like the work very much, and / shall
no doubt continue it. l am never lone
some out there in the camp, for the
work so occupies all my waking hours
that / never have time to dwell on sem
timentalities."

From Self-Culture.
But 1t is to the forests of the Philip
pines that we are wholly unable to do
justice. Timber exists in great variety
and of most excellent quality. There
are to be found kinds of wood suitable
to every purpose. Many are of dense
and tough fiber susceptible to the high
est polish Four kinds are so heavy
that water will not float them, nor can
they be cut with ordinary saws. One
variety is of a bright emerald green
and another rich yellow and they re-
tain those colors when polished. An
other, nara" perhaps the prettiest
and much used in fine furniture, varies
in color from light straw to deep red
1t is strong and hard and takes a high
polish. Perhaps the best known is mo
ave, a very heavy dark brown wood
used for finishing in the interior of the
Jesuit church at Manila, where it is
said the carvings are by master hands
ana or surprising beauty Ebony is
abundant. There are the caeao tree,
the cocoanut palm and the bamboo all
invaluable to the natives. and also a
tree which yields a kind of cotton.
A pitcher plant is found with recep-
tacles that hold as much as a quart of
water. There is a very curious plant
with long pendant feelers that hang
near the ground and have remarkable
prehensible properties, taking the
strongest hold on anything that hap
pens to touch them. 1t is with the
greatest difficulty that a passer-by can
extricate himself from one of these
any-fingered, hanging hands.
