!. CHILDREN PLAY CHICKENS.
A Child Beheaded and Eight Men
Killed in a Panic.

Some Indian children on the Oneida
reservation, near Stockbridge, Wis,
saw their mother hack Off the head of
a chicken. This suggested a new game
to their childish minds, the play result
ing in the death of nine persons.
Some woman went out into the yard
of her home, where her children were
playing, caught chicken with which
she wished to prepare meal, got a
Ratchet and chopped off its head. Then
she returned to the house, leaving tn e
blood-stained hatchet on the ground.
One of the children suggested that
they play chicken, and the suggestion
was carried out.
One of the smallest children was
elected to act the part of chicken. The
child was thrown to the ground by its
playmates, its head placed on block
of wood and hacked of.
A number of men we're engaged on
derrick in the yard raising heavy tim
bers in the erection of a barn. AS
soon as the men above noticed the
child being beheaded, they became
panic-stricken, and in the confusion the
heavy timbers which were being raised
fell with a crash, killing eight men.

GROWING TOBACCON STATE
NEW INDUSTRY FOR GEORGIA
GIVES FAIR PROMISE.
Commissioner Stevens Invited to
Visit the Tobacco Farm of j.
D. Harold in Decatur
County,

Commissioner of Agriculture Q. B.
Stevens has received an invitation
from Mr.. J. d. Harold, of cambridge,
Ga, to pay him visit and inspect the
tobacco fields in Decatur county. This
is practically a new industry in this
section, but is one that bids fair to
become very important. Of course
tobacco has been grown little. in al
most every part of the state, but it has
never before been planted in such
large Quantities.
A number of North Carolinians have
moved into Decatur county, people
thoroughly familiar with tobacco Gull
tivation, and it is largely due to them
that the new industry was started.
The soil and climate are said to be re-
markably adapted to the growth OF the
fragrant staple Certainly the enter
prise has prospered wonderfully so far
There are many hundreds of acres
now planted and it is probable that its
cultivation will be even more widely
extended in the next two years. Gu
ban and Samatra are the only two va
rieties planted, each of which is con-
sidered among the best. Every one
knows the high repute in which Gu
ban tobacco is held and the Sumatra is
an equally val liable valuable variety.
It's leaf is very large and is sold chiefly
as a wrapper or outside cover for CT
CARS. From 600 to 1000 pounds of to-
bacco are produced on every acre and
the prices received for it are very
good, some of it selling as high as s.
per pound.
There is one. farm on which &C.
acres are planted in tobacco alone
! This is all one continuous stretch oil
| land AMI forms what is said to be the
| largest tobacco field in the world
Geogians should be proud to learn OF
this fact, as the state has never before
been noted as tobacco producing
one.
1t has now been demonstrated be-
yond doubt that tobacco can be sue
cessfully and probably grown in the
southern part of the state. and it is
only question of time until it will be-
come one of Georgia's chief agricult-
ural products.

Another Rapid Fire Gun,

An improvement on the well-known
Spanich Mauser rife has recently been
devised by Capt. Gel of the Third Reg
iment of Italian sharpshOoters, which
enables the speed of fire of the gun to
be increased to II shots in one second
and 300 shots in one minute. This in
ventlon has been tested at Brescia IN
the presence of military officials, and
is reported to have given satisfaction.
