A pathetic incident of an unsraded cross
ing accident out in the northeastern end Of
the city was the tragic death Of a dog.
which. before IL could utter the faintest
wall Of protest. was caught under the grind
ing wheels of the locomotive and crushed
to a shapeless mass. There were many ex-
pressions of pity for the fate Of the poor
dumb brute. and one sympathetic woman
had been almost moved to call the Coroner.
when a heavily built man advanced to the
body Of the animal and proceeded to make
a critical examination.
Good. kind man." said one Of the women
by-standers, perhaps he's going to give
the poor thing a respectable burial"
Suddenly the man shocked the sensibili-
ties Of the spectators by whipping out mis-
knife and cutting the collar from the dogs
neck. The first presumption was that he
was the owner of the deceased dog. and
that he wanted to save the tag for another
dog. but he disabused this speculation by
remarking as he walked away:
well. I'm certainly a lucky cuss. Things
comes 20 me just like finding 'em. I was
goin' down to the License Collector to-
morrow to buy a tag fer me dawg, an now
Eve got one fer nuttin'.". :
Sentiment had no .part In that mans
makeup.-Detroit Free Press.

bition at the establishment of

A Larger Cemetery.


1t is not proper to have funeral
such things as that over a grave"
subject ike a cemetery, but
it should be a source of graft
ficatton to the people of Ma
rietta that land adjoining the
present necroplis has been offered
to the council of this place in
order that that burying-ground
may be enlarged. While dead peo-
pie are very quiet neighbors, never
meddling with affairs that do not
concern them, still their proximity
to the habitations of the living is
not desirable and if a new ceme-
terry is established in our town it
will injure the neighborhood in
which it is placed. 1t is to be
hoped. therefore, that the city
council will Immediately close
with Mr.. Glover for the land which
he offers for sale adjoining the
public cemetery.
1t is not necessary to re-hearse
the arguments which have been
advanced to demonstrate the alb
solute necessity of better burying
facilities for this place. Suffice it
to say that the whites are now en-
croaching on the black-berry-ing
ground, Notwithstanding the broth
er in black is supposed to have a
monopoly in that direction at this
season of the year. Even the
soldier rest thy warfare DER"
can't "rest in peace" for the
good (which is often buried
with their bones" is, with it's
habitations, frequently jostled out
to make room for more recent
tenants This should not be. Ev-
rybody, no matter how poor. is
entitled to the ownership in fee
simple and secure from the attacks
of intruders, eight feet by four of
real estate al his death. If the
present council wish to "raise a
monument" to their memory thew
cannot do so more etfectually than
by taking the step here indicated.
1t is to be presumed that they have
a vault-ing ambition to serve
their town well SO as to prevent it
from being a dead" place. Don't
have skeleton in the closet, Of
duty neglected.

The Price of Expansion.

The Macon Telegraph of recent
date contains an editorial reciting
what has been claimed in these
columns-that the South Ameri-
can countries, alarmed by the at
titude of this country i'll the mat
ter of expansion, thinking their
territories will be the next objects
of our cupidity, have almost en-
tirely withdrawn their trade from
us, giving perhaps eleven-twelfths
of it to the nations of Europe. They
have done this in spite of the fact
that most of our goods are superior
to those of European manufacture,
are of lower price, and, because Of
our superior proximity to South
America, our products can be de-
livered in that country in short
er period of time and at less cost
than can those of European coun-
tries.
The Philippine islands with
their ten million inhabitants who
do not now and will not for MANY
years to come, generally use the
products of highly civilized COM
munitles, not even SO simple a
thing as clothes, are poor return
for the enlightened, progressive
and populous states of South
America with their millions of in
habitants who consume in large
quantities every thing that Europe
has in it's markets.
The Southern cotton mill own
ers who are generally rampant ex-
pansionists, are, of all others, the
last VINO should advocate this poll
icy for commercial reasons. All
of South America except sparsely
settled Patagonia, has climate
for which cotton clothing is adapt
ed, and consequently should af-
ford an excellent market for the
manufactured articles of this
country. 1t will be several gener-
ations before the Filipinos cease to
wear anything but breech-cloth.
But with the South Americans
distrustful of rs and refusing to
trade with us, we have thrown
away the substance for the shad-
ow. The Buffalo Pan-American
exposition is remarkable for its
absence of South Americans.

South Carolina now ranks Sec
ond among American states in the
manufacture of cotton goods, be-
ing surpassed by Massachusetts,
alone. The cotton mill industry
in Massachusetts, is the growth of
great many years, while South
Cardinals splendid position has
been achieved in twenty years.
Ten years from now, it is safe tc
predict, the greatest producer of
manufactured cottons will be a
Southern state; whether it will be
South Carolina or another depends
upon the enterprise and energy of
her neighbors. Georgia now stands
third in the list of Southern cot
ton factory states. There is nc
good reason why Georgia should
not take first place; and many
reasons why she should.

!; Out West, especially III Indiana
and Kansas, the farmers are max
ing large use of the telephone, how
| chat the monopoly i'll instruments
has been broken and very good
ones can be purchased at reason-
able prices. In Montgomery coun-
ty, Indiana, there are upwards of
5000 telephones III use connecting
farm houses with each other and
some forty villages. The farmers
have built the lines themselves,
and find that the expenses are not
much over - per year for tele-
phone service. They have no elab-
crate exchanges, and do all of the
installation and repair work them
selves, requiring expert assistance
very seldom. In some instances
an operator is required at a CEN
trial switchboard. In such cases
the subscribers charge fees to nom
subscribers, and thus realize
enough to pay the operators sal
airy. In Kansas many farmers
make use of their barbed-wire
fences for telephone connections.
The harbed-wire is a very good
conductor, and by turning the
fence into a phone line the ex-
pense of wire is saved. In the
sparcely settled farming commu-
mites of the South the rural tel
ephone might be more expensive
than in Indiana and Kansas, but
we hope the day is not far distant
when Georgia farms generally will
have the advantage of permanent
ly hardened public roads and good
telephone lines connecting them
with their neighborhoods and the
village postoffices and stores. The
amount of time and money to be
saved and the pleasure to be de-
rived from such conveniences can
hardly be estimated.

Missouri is great grain state
nevertheless an official statement
shows that the value of poultry
products raised in that state last
year is $4,000 greater than the
value of all the corn, wheat, oats,
faxseed, rye, barley, timothy,
millet, cane seed, broomcorn
straw and apples raised in the
state during the same year. Mis-
souri's timber interests are ex-
tensive,. nevertheless the hens
brought more wealth to the slate
last year than all of the forest
products put together, The value
of poultry and eggs shipped by
Missouri producers during 1900
amounted to one-fifth the aggre-
gate value of all the horses, mules.
cattle, hogs and sheep shipped in
the same length of time, the total
approximating $13,000,000. Geor-
gla could do as we'll as Missouri in

would. Why doesn't she.

What is the reason for the an
tlpathy of the naval ring at
Washington to Admiral Schley a.?
There have been several stories ad-
vanced to account for it. One of
the latest of these is that Admiral
Crowninshield, the recognized
head of the clique, has grudge
against Schley that is some years
old, but which he has never per-
mitted to grow cold. Crownin-
shield was commander of the i'll
fated Maine up to the time Sigs-
bee was assigned to her. Admiral
Bunce filed the charge with the de-
partment that Crowninshield had
neglected her coal supply. Crown
irshield asked for court Of in
quiry. Schley was president of
that court. Crowninshield was
exhonorated, but it is said Schlev
voted against him. FoE that vote,
the story goes, Crowninshield has
harbored hatred against Schley
and never failed to strike him a
blow when the opportunity Of

Some tme ago when the city was talking of making improvements on Bridge street the statement was made that there was no record of layout of that street from Baldwin street to Pemberton street. Later it was dis covered that it had been laid out years ago under the name of Peabody street.
 Yesterday afternoon the fire depart ment was called to the residence of Samuel Sino, between East Farm and ward streets, where woman had set the house on fire by using gasolene in the stove. The neighbors got out a good deal of furniture. but the smoke drove them out and such things as they could not get at were destroyed. The damage to the building and furniture will amount to somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,0O0. Isn't it strange that after all people hear regarding the danger of using kerosene or gaso- lene to light fires in a stove, women still persist in running the risk of not only setting fire to the house they live in, but also endangering their own lives and those of others as well.
