Passengers on trolley car No. on Bar

ed a sight that for an instant. filled them
with horror, and in the next breath they
were proclaiming the motorman hero.
The car was running at full speed
through the southern section OF the city.
Some little children were sitting on a
sidewalk curb, and as the car was pass
ing, one of them. a little girl. sprang in
front of it. The motormah with rare
presence of mind. reversed his current
and set the brakes with such force that
the pa ssengers were nearly thrown from
the seats. Most of them had seen the
child dash across the track. seemingly to
her death, and the ladies on the car COW
cred their eyes and shrieked as they al
most felt the wheels strike the little
ones body. But the motorman had done
his duty. He had stopped the car with
IN a foot of the little girl and she was
saved.
Signs Of relief were heard from every
passenger. and motorman No. 90 was
hero. The child. though frightened, did
not realize how near she had been to
DEATH and a moment later, was laugh
ing with her companions.

TO MAKE CATFISH SALMON.

Thomas County News: When the editor
of this paper was at Leesburg, Fla, last
week he saw a man getting in wagon
loads of the nastiest catfish you ever
saw. caught out of the big lakes there
which vile stuff he was chopping up
packing IN barrels and shipping to Geor-
gia to be canned and sold as salmon The
man did not hesitate to say what he was
doing with these dirty fish. which are the
buzzards of the Florida waters but ne
would not disclose the name of the Geor-
gian to whom he was shipping them. we
wanted this Georgians name for the pur-
pose of exposing him, and the viilainous
fraud in which he is engaged. 1t lis all
right to sell canned catfish If labeled as
catfish, but this Florida article Is put
in cans labeled salmon and is sold to the
unsuspecting consumer as the genuine
article from the North Pacific coast AND
rivers. There ought to be law to hang
the man who is perpetrating this or any
other kindred fraud in the preparation
and sale of food-stuffs. 1t may be proper
10 remark that genuine salmon should sell
for 17lkc for a one-pound can; anything
offered for a less price may safely be
considered Florida catfish or Georgia
sturgeon.

THE COTTON DUCK COMBINE.

MIR. G. Gunby Jordan, in an interview
with the Columbus Ledger. tells that pa
per that the Columbus mills will not be
in any way affected by the recent cotton
duck combine. Columbus mills do not
make enough of that kind of duck to
make tarpaulin for a row boat, said Mr..
Jordan The mills in Georgia and else
where which have been taken into the
combine make a speciality of fine, heavy
duck such as is used for sail clothes,
uniforms, leggins and such purposes, and
they have been induced to combine In
order to arrange a uniform schedule of
prices for their goods. Since the Span
ish-American war cotton duck has come
into more general use than ever before
used TO make tents, and is now used for
uniforms for soldiers by nearly every
civilized country, especially those having
possessions in warm climates where they
are compelled to keep soldiers. 1t is used
for both suits and leggins, and even the
country plow boy in this country wears
duck leggins. The increased demand for
this material caused great fluctuations IN
prices and the market was at all times
unsettled. The largest concerns saw that
something must be done TO regulate prices
ana they simply went to work and made
combination which will hereafter con-
troll the prices of duck in this country.
The Georgia mills mentioned make
speciality OF duck and therefore they came
within range of the scope of the combine.
