Funeral Services Were Elaborate and I'm
posing-A Brief sketch OF Hia
Eventfui Life.

General J. Mcintosh Kell, adiutant
general Of the state OF Georgia and
among the last survivors Of the con-
Iederate privaieer 1890" or Alabama,
which did the merchant marine of the

sorrow witnessed the death Of the hero

The body of General Kell was
buried at Griffin, Ga, Sunday, with
elaborate and imposing ceremonies.
The funeral services were conducted
from the Episcopal church by Bishop
@. X. Nelson, of Georgia, who i'm
pressively performed the Episcopal
rites of burial.
The funeral was largely attended by
prominent persons from all parts Of

and other officers of the Georgia state
troops, of which General Kell during
his lifetime was the head Two com
panies OF state troops from Macon, one
from GAINESVILLE and one from Griffin

A long line Of distinguished Geor.
gians, as honorary escort, followed the

ceremonies were performed and the
casket lowered INTO the grave. A sa
Lutte was fired over the grave by {

tinguished hero.

WOMEN ATTACK WORKERS.
Non-Union Men Intercepted and
Forced TO Retreat Under a
Storm Of Stones.

A dispatch from Hazleton, Pa, says:
Eight Italians employed on the night
shift Of the Calvin Pardee and company
eolliery at Lattimer, we're attacked on
the public road leading from that place
to Hollywood early Friday morning by
twenty-five women who had marched
from Milnosyille.
The women waited TO attack the
men working in the Lattimer mine as
they passed along the road which
leads to their homes at Hollywood.
A few Of the women were armed
with clubs, but most OF them carried
stones Of all sizes in their arms. The
first nOn-union mine workers 10 leave
the colliery were the little band Of eight
Italians. They saw the women on the
road ahead Of them and suspecting an
attack, crossed She field in an endeavor
to avoid them.
The women, however, were on the
alert and they also crossed the field
and overtaking the men hurled show
ers Of stones at them. The workmen
did not attempt to defend themselves,
but ran away and were soon out of the
reach of the fury Of the excited wo-
men.
One man received q severe cut on
the head, while several others were
struck by pieces of rock but were not
injured. The women returned to their
homes satisfied with their demonstra-
ton.
A special from Philadelphia says;
There are indications that the indi-
vidual coal operators in the anthracite
fields have agreed to the 10 per cent
adyace in mine workers wages, made
by the big coal companies. This, il
is believed, will be followed by the
speedy return of the men to work on
orders from the union leaders.

General John Mcintosh Kell was
born in Mcintosh county, Georgia,
January 26, 1928, and was, therefore,
n years of age. His great grand
father, John Mohr Mcintosh, Scot
ish chief, came over to this country in
1875 to join General Oglethorpe, and
settled in that part of the coast which
commentaries his name.
The father of General Kell was a
distinguished lawyer of his day, and
the junior partner of General Antho-
ny Wayne. He died when 40 years of
age, leaving a widow and five young
children. At the age of 16 John Nc
Intosh Kell. through influential
friends, was appointed midshipman
in the navy. He served with distinc-
tion in the Mexican war, and was pres
ent at Monterey, CAL, when the
United States flag was hoisted over
that territory. He was later an Off
Ger in Commodore Perry's famous ex-
petition to Japan, which opened up
that country to modern civilization.
In October, 1856, he married Miss
Julia Blanche Monroe, of Macon, GA.
A brief service at Norfolk and eighteen
months at Pensacola constituted his
only duties on shore while a member
of the United States navy.
But it was as an officer in the Con-
federate navy that General Kell won
imperishable fame. Upon the seces-
sion of Georgia he rendered his SER
vices to his native state, and in May,
1861, reported for duty to Captain
Raphael Semmes at New Orleans,
where he served on the Sumter, con-
verted passenger steamer, then en-
gagged in blockade running, and which
captured seventeen ships duringa SER
vice of six months.
Later he was with Captain Semmes
as executive officer of the Alabama, the
famous Confederate battleship that
made such marvellous record during
the time she was adoat, capturing
sixty vessels, and being herself sunk
by the Kearsage off the coast of France,
at which time thirty of her men were
drowned.
General Kells daring career as the
executive officer of the Alabama is
recorded in the history of his country,
and for his gallant conduct in the fight
with the Kearsage he was made a cap
tain.
After the loss of the Alabama he re,
turned to the Confederacy and was
given command OF the ironclad Rich.
mond. At the close OF war, worn with
service and saddened by defeat, he re.
turned to his native state, residing al
Sunnyside.
It was during the first administra-
ton Of General Gordon in 1886 that
General Kell was appointed to the
Office of adiutant general of Georgia.
He discharged the duties of this Office
personally and in a thorough manner
until his health became too feeble foi
the task.
In December. 1897, the Legislature
passed an act increasing the rank o.
adiutant general from colonel to brig
adler general in honor Of General Kell

A correspondent writing to the New
York Evening Post from the eastern
shore of Maryland tells of the oppor-
tunities in that state for profitable
farming, especially if the farmer has
a little capital to begin with In the
western and northern counties the
farmers have always been reason
ably prosperous. The soil there is fer
tile and is kept fertile by careful till
age. In the tidewater counties on
the western shore, the part of the
state which has been longest under
cultivation, there is a good deal Of
rich bottom land but many of the
farms are worn. In any part of the
state however, according to this cor
respondent, the soil can be made rich
if properly treated Southern Mary
land lacks farm labor, and it's cheap
and accessible farms offer attractive
homes for men with small capital
There are many farms in this region
which can be bought for less than the
cost of the houses upon them. The
correspondent says that the mistake
which many Maryland farmers make
is in undertaking to cultivate more
land than they are capable of cultivat-
ing properly with the means at their
command. 1t is as difficult to make
slovenly farming pay in Maryland as
in any other state Under the pres
ent condition of prices it does not
nav to grow good tobacco. 1t does not
nav to raise 10 bushels Of wheat to
the acre, but it does pay to raise 80
bushels. While the price Of corn or
bav may be low if sold as SUCH the
price is good enough il these pro
ducts are sold as beef, pork, poultry,
or butter Too little attention, the
correspondent says, is given in Mary
land to the raising Of stock. He thinks
that there is no reason why Maryland,
which is so near the market
should not be a great stoekraising
state
