Warts are curious things, says the
Youths Companion. They come and go
mysteriously. although their going is
frequently marked by exasperating de-
lays, and there are almost as many
infallible cures as there are warts, the
only trouble with these cures being
that they are useless when applied to
the particular wart you happen to
have. They are only good for other
peoples.
I'm my opinion" said a club man,
who was discussing the subject with a
friend one day, "a wart is merely the
outward correspondence of some men,
tai excrescence. Get rid of that, and it
goes away.
Let me give you a bit of my own
experience" he continued. Last year
| went to Europe. For about three
years 1 had had a wart on my little
finger on which / had tried everything
l could hear of. but without effect 1t
only grew larger.
well, in the excitement of preparing
for the trip. and of the journey itself,
1 forgot all about my wart, and when
l looked for it. about six weeks later,
it had vanished, without leaving the
slightest mark. 1 simply forgot it, and
1t had no mental condition to feed on.
| see you have one on the back of your
hand. Forget all about it for a few
weeks, and it will go away of ITSELF
Yes" said the other club man,
struggling his shoulders, "but / can't
afford to take a trip to Europe for the
sake of curing one wart"

"A few years ago." says a writer in
Anecdotes" when the new lands in

small towns which sprang up were fill

companies were on a par with the
towns they visited. One night the

being played. The house was packed
from top to bottom with tough char

tougher, so that even the audience be-
came restless. The play finally reach

We hope the story of the success of
Col. Seaton Grantland, of Spalding
county, in the cultivation of hay, told
in our Griffin correspondence yesterday.
attracted the attention of farmers in
all parts of the state and made an i'm
preston upon them. Col. Grantlaud
has forty acres in hay, from which he
has already made two cuttings. His
second harvest has given him fifty tons
from the forty acres. He will make
a third cutting before frost, which will
be larger than either of the others. 1t
is safe to estimate, therefore, that he
will get $50 tons of hay from his forty
acres during the season, and probably
more. The price of hay is about SIS TO
$21 per ton in this city. Say that Col.
Grantland can sell his crop for only
the lower price, It is a very simple cal
culation TO see what his receipts for
the forty acres will amount to. And
the cost of cultivating and haresting
hay is slight as compared with cotton
and some other crops. There is an OPP
portunity for money making in hay in
Georgia. Thousands of acres might
prontaby be devoted to It. The old
rice fields In the low country, for in
stance, that are now earning nothing,
would make large quantities of the
finest hay, three crops every year,

DISSATISFIED woRKMEN.

The toilers in pretty much all parts
of the country appear to be in con-
dition of unrest About every day the
in the public prints. There must be a
dozen strikes-some of them of large
proportions-at the present time.
The great strike of the steel workers

sons for thinking that a settlement

published are finally accepted by the

they had to contend were very great.

of the workers in the sweat shops of
New York. With this strike there is
no doubt great public sympathy. or at
least there ought to be. The wages of
the sweat shop workers are barely
sufficient to keep body and soul to-
gether. And, after all, the employers
are not so much to blame. They are
victims of the much lauded principle of
competition. The public sympathizes
with the sweat-shop workers. and in
sists upon having clothes at the low
est possible prices. The competition of
the manufacturers for trade is respon-
sible for the small wages which the
toilers in the sweatshops receive.
The small strikes, like those of the
employees in the cigar factories of
Tampa and the motormen and conduc-
tors at Columbus, Ga, are so numerous
that it is hardly worth while mention
ing them. The hot weather seems to
have caused the strike fever to assume
an epidemic form. 1t would not be sur
prising if the dissatisfaction in labor
circles would continue to manifest itself
until the coming of cooler weather.

There is no case in the courts of New
Jersey known as the case of Mrs. AL
lien, but it is not improbable that there
will be. In the will of Pierre Lorillard.
New York millionaire who died re-
Gently in that city, there is clause by
which Mrs. ALLEN is left Mr. LorilIard's
stock farm, known as Rancocas, situat-
ed in New Jersey and valued at $780,
900. 1t is said that Mrs. Allen was the
fair comrade of Mr.. Lorillard in the
late years of his life. 1t is also init
mated that he had given her a vast
amount of property before his death.
1t was stated in some of the New
York papers few days ago that there
had never been a Mr.. Allen, that the
party that acted as a groom at the Al
lien wedding was a woman, the wife of
one of Mr.. Lorillard's employees at the
Rancocas farm.
But will Mrs. ALLEN get the Rancocas
Farm? That is the question which is
aggitating a portion of the New York
public at this time. The Lorillard
widow and children are opposed to her
having it. II they object she may not
be able to get possession of it..
not because the will is not
properly drawn, for it is, but because
1t is said that all of the precedents of
the New Jersey courts are against CIV
ing assistance in the enforcement of
contracts which might be construed as
immoral.
So there is a probability that Mrs.
Allen will not get the celebrated farm,
and that the Lorillard estate will not
have to pay her to give it up. Develop
ments in the case are being eagerly
looked for.
