{ bring to the seventyiivc million IN the
United States.
At the Worlds Fair such grand
showing was made of our products that
great many OF the Asiatic merchants
that attended placed orders for Amerl-
can goods and in that way they were
introduced into all parts OF those popu-
lous countries, and the result is that
great demand is springing up for them
The war between China ard Japan
too, is doing much for us in that the
people OF both countries are learning
to use our -four and millions OF pounds
OF it have been shipped to them from
the state OF Washington during the
past year. All OF the mills OF the coast
have been running night and day stead
lily and are unable to supply the de-
mand.
The people of Asia are almost as the
sands of the sea, and America. and
especially the state of Washington, is
In better position than any other country
or place, to handle this vast business
and derive the benefit from it. There
are as before stated but five harbors on
the Pacific coast through which this
great interchange Of commodities can
he .-~as and all VI them VIII DO a part
Uf IL put that vi.o ti..-t - l.-. -:.--..i 49,
handle this bushes, do it in less time
and for the least amount OF money Ia
the one that will control the greater
part of it and become the place of great
est Importance.
Until within the last few years San
Francisco did all the business, but
as soon as steamship lines we're estab-
lished from Washington ports the super
ior advantage that they possessed over
San Francisco quickly diverted very
large amount OF business. Thus far
Tacoma and Seattle have controlled this
trade and will always have more or less
OF it but will not have it all nor the
major part of it, for water will not run
up hill, nor will trade be diverted from
its natural channel. The Northern Paci-
fic railroad was completed into Aber-
deem on February 20, 1895, and facilities
will now be afforded this place for COM
peting with the other harbors for this
trade, and the competition will be
strong, for it has advantages that they
do not possess.
The ocean currents lay out the great
highways Of the sea and the mariners
follow them as faithfully as do the
travellers the beaten path across the
plain, and the distance between trans
ocean ports is not that of an air line
but that OF the following Of the current.
Thus it is that ship leaving Hong
Kong or any other Chinese or Japanese
port bound for San Francisco would fol-
low the current to the northeast until II
is directly west OF the state of Washing
ton, and then when nearing the Ameri
can coast would turn to the southeast
Thus Hong Kong and every other Jap
anese port is nearer Aberdeen than II
is to San Francisco, and the distance
between Hong Kong and Aberdeen II
less than it is to Portland, for that Is uE
the Columbia river 116 miles; or tt

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Love Laughs at Locks and Bars
as Well as Distance.

A romantic marriage occurred in
Richland on Sunday afternoon in
which Mr.. Al. A. Osteen of Columbus
and Miss Mary Barge of Weston were
the contracting parties. From what
could be learned of the matter it ap-
pears that there was parental objection
on the part of Miss Barge's father,
who did his best to defeat the object
of tAe young people. They succeeded
in reaching Eichland Sunday after
noon, however, in spite of the fact that
the irate father was in pursuit, and
were married before he arrived.
Mr.. Osteen is well known and pop
ular young man, having for some time
been a travelling salesman for the
wholesale department of the Andrews
Company, and later travelling for the
wholesale grocery firms of NJ. w. Kel-
lev & Co., of Columbus.

PESTS IN THE FRUIT.
Birds and the Caterpillar Army
Are at Work.

Fruit growers in Ulster county, N. y,
have suffered considerable loss through
the invasion of their peach orchards
by thousands of little birds about the
size of English sparrows. The birds
settle by hundreds on each tree and
pick out the fruit In some of the large
orchards they have practically de-
ytroyed all the peaches.
A few of the birds were noticed
about the peach trees two weeks ago,
and an examination made plain the
damaye they were doing. They in
creased steadily in numbers until the
farmers, in defence of their property,
descended upon them with shot guns
and slaughtered them blythe hundreds.
The visitors resemble il size and hab-
its the common yellow bird. They are
little larger, about the size Of spa--
row, and the male is dark brown in
color with reddish head and red on
the tips of the wings. The females are
brown. The male has a call like an
oriole and the female birds twitter
like swallows. They have been driven
away.
The fruit growers are now bending
their energies to fighting the forest
tent caterpillar, which have moved
down in multitudes from the northern
part of the state. 1t is too early yet to
fulIv know the harm wrought by these
pests, but reports from localities in the
Hudson river valley show that they
have stripped the foliage from apple
and peach trees and that the outlook
is serious.

WOMEN REPUBLICANS.
Female Workers at the COnVen-
ton in philadelphia.

The first of the republican workers
to arrive at the national COZ ventiOn in
Philadelphia last week was Mrs. B.
Ellen Foster, who took rooms at the
Hotel Walton. More than so cowork-
ers of Mrs. FosGer arrived during the
week. They had no trouble getting
good seats at the convention hall, for
their campaign labors have been rec
ognized as OF great value and they are
constantly increasing their machinery
for promoting the success of tee re-
publican party. They took lively in
terest in the proceedings of the con-
vention, and conferred with. the dele
gates and leaders from every part of
the country, and before they separated
made preliminary plans for their cam
paign.
We are not all young! in experience
in politics." said Mrs. Foster. Most
of us have been students of politics
for many years. We organized in 1885
and the convention of that year al
Chicago was the first we attended
Since then we have attended the party

JONES GIVEN TWELVE MONTHS.
DefauIting Tax Collector Must Work on
Changing.

In the superior court of Brooks coun'
ty the case of NJ. F. Jones, ex-tax col
lector of Brooks county, charged with
embezzlement, was tried last week.
Jones was tax collector for many
years until the year 1896, when he was
found to be short several thousand dol
lars of the states money, which it is
alleged he had appropriated to his own
use.
A jury was secured with difficulty
and the case consumed nearly an en-
tire day. The jury returned verdict
of guilty, but recommended that the
defendant be punished as for misde-
meanor. Judge Gambler sentenced
Jones to twelve months on thu public
works. Judge Gambler was appealed
to to place a fine upon the defendant,
but refused to do so.

THE GREAT CONVENTION.
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
ON A BIG SCALE.
Kansas City Expects the Demo-
Gratis to Be Both Hungry
and Thirsty. =

The national democratic convention
of 1900 will be in many respects men,
orable occasion. AS regards the
platform we know in. advance what it
will be.
Therefore, we may afford to take a
glance at the side lights [, the con-
vention, the social side, and open our
eyes with wonder.
The Kansas City Star thinks the So
600 delegates and visitors will be hun
Cry and thirsty, and that the following
menu will be supplied in quantity if
not in quality
One thousand cattle.
Two thousand hogs.
Two thousand sheep.
Five thousand four hundred bushels
OF potatoes.
Fifty tons of fish.
Thirteen thousand five hundred
pints of champagne.
Two hundred and sixteen thousand
bottles of beer.
The foregoing list shows part of
what the democratic delegates and
their friends are expected to consume
during convention week. Although it
is almost impossible to estimate the
number of guests to be entertained ho-
tel proprietors and dealers in things
to eat and drink are figuring on crowd
of 10000. The preparations being made
are on sumptuous scale, and
there is no possibility of scarcity of
food or drink. On account of the i'm
possibility of determining in very ac-
curate manner the size of the crowd
dealers are unable to estimate definite
ly the amount to be consumed of two
important items-bread and cigars.
However, it is estimated that 80, 0G0 to
IS, 900 loaves of bakers bread are con
sumed in the city daily. The wine bill
of the delegates and their friends will
be big item in itself. Agents for the
different brands of champagne have
already placed orders for $3.50 cases,
costing $4,000.

ROBBED OF THEIR PAY.
The Capital Employees Held UD by Campaign
Committee.

1t has been discovered that the re-
publican congressional campaign COM
mittee tried to obtain from the repub-
lican employees at the capital so per
cent. of the extra months pay voted
them in the closing hours of the ses-
sion. This was demanded as a contri-
button to fund to aid in electing re-
publican majority to the house of the
fifty-seYenth congress.
A day or two after congress adjourn
ed all republican employees of the
house were requested to call at GER
tain hotel. The notes did not indicate
the purpose of the request, but they
we're signed by an officer of the repub-
lican congressional committee.
To the employees who called sugges-
ton was made that the republican
house and the republican senate had
been very generous in voting the extra
months pay, and the employees ought
to give up half to help along the con-
gressional campaign this fall, Some
callers shelled out all that was expect
ed, others compromised on smaller
amounts, while others refused to give
up cent.
Altogether the committee expected
to get $1,000 or ST., 200 out of the as
sessment, but it is said the total sum
received did not reach 1900.

NOTHING Has BEEN DECIDED.
GEORGIA PINE OFFICIALS ARE
UNCERTAIN.
Will Not Extend the Road at
Present. Survey Has Been
Completed.

Mr.. r. e. HardawaY, chief engineer
os the Georgia Pine surveying corps,
arrived in the city Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterday he started back towards
Arlington over the recent survey OF
that road His object is to improve
the survey by making some changes
in carve and grades at few points.
II answer II questions in regard to
uhe intentions of the Georgia Pine Of
fcials, Mr.. Hardaway stated that moth
ing has yet been decided. The cH-
tension: of this road to Cuthbcrt
might never be built, but he would
have the survey ready, anyway. In
case work on the Cuthbert exten ion
should be undertaken it would not
probably begin in several months, he
thought.
Mr.. Hardaway is gentleman OF
wide information with whom it is a
pleasure to converse. He impresscs
one as being perfectly sincere, and we
accept his statements without doubt.
From our conversation with him we
inferred that the Georgia Pine road is
in no hurry to add to its mileage, be-
cause it is considering the advisability
of selling out. Should it change hands
its future, of course, would depend up
on the road purchasing it, and as yet
all this is problematic. -Cuthbert

PLENTY OF PATRONAGE.
Many PIums Are Nearly Ripe on Commission
er Stevens Tree.

The Atlanta correspondence of the
Macon Telegraph says
Connected with the agricultural de-
partment there are employed forty-two
state oil inspectors and twenty-eight
fertilizer inspectors. In addition to
these there is one chief fertilizer in
spector, DR.. Raines, and one chief oil
INSPECTOR Mr.. Glascock Barrett. This
patronage is dispensed by Commission
err O. B. Stevens of the apartment, and
these appointments are considered such
good things that there are always a
large number Of applicants when an
appointment is to be made. As the
commissions of these appolntees are is
sued all along at different times, the
reappointmeats come in the same way.
The oil inspectors are appointed for
terms of two years each and those for
fertilizer inspectors are for'shOrter pc
riods. The terms of good many oil
inspectors expire in the fall and early
spring, and in consequence the com
missioner is daily receiving letters
from applicants for these positions.
There are FIVE applicants for the Office
of oil inspector at Macon.
The total number of fertilizer and
oil inspectors whose terms will com
mence to expire in October and con-
tinue to expire until spring is seventy
two, and applicants are sending in
their applications and endorsements at
rapid rate. They seem to go on the
idea that the early bird catches the
worm, and are not delaying filing their
apDlicatiOn.
