ST. Petersburg Sub-Peninsular: Mr.. A.
j. Chase of Boston, who is here visiting
his brother, Capt. ]. F. Chase, talks some
of establishing sardine cannery for put
ting up the delicate species of this Ash
which are said to abound in great guam
titles in the waters adjacent to st. Pc
tersburg. He is ready to make arrange
ments to establish a cannery if the fish
are available in the immense quantities
which are said to exist in the bay near
Pass-a-Grille and other nearby points.
While here five years ago he had canned
a quantity of these fish by a process
which retains their delicious flavor with
out having the Objectionable oil odor
which is incident to most sardines. Sam
Piles taken from the cans yesterday were
eaten by the writer and found to be in
every way equal to the best imported
sardines.

for horse racing, yachting and athletic
sports during the coming season will in
sure a red-letter period in the annals of
summer sports. 1 have seen the secreta-
ries of the various organizations and
they assure me of the fact.
Many incidents are now being related
OF Ed. Knox, since his name has been
so prominently mentioned for the may
orally. Among them is his speech to the
veterans of the Grand Army of the Re
public, upon his acceptance of the Sword
of Honor awarded to him by a popular
vote Col. Knox's speech was a model
OF grace and good fellowship. 1t proved
beyond doubt the many reasons why his
character is held in such high esteem by
his comrades irrespective of their politi-
cal affiliations. 1t is believed he will
prove a very genuine fusion candidate,
as he can reconcile many elemtns.
L understand Lydon H. Stevens of New
York has been down to Mexico with other
capitalists to secure a railroad conces-
sion. L also hear he has been success
full The project is to connect with the
Mexican Central at or near Chihuahua
and run through Sonora to the Gulf of
California. 1t is further stated that the
Rock Island or the Santa Fe will absorb
the Mexican Central, and that the South
ern Pacific will secure control of the
Mexican Central
Col. ]. S. Carr of North Carolina is at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Col. Carr inter-
ested me greatly in his views of pros
perity in the South. New York financiers
are now beginning to realize that the
great field for development is in the
Southern States. and capital anxious to
ind an opening is seeking an outlet in
mills, manufactures and railroads. Col.
Carr is an optimist, but no dreamer of the
order of Col. Sellers.
j. Pierpont Morgan has become the
modern colossus. He stands so high in
Wall street that his shadow falls on Lon
don and San Francisco. The railroad en-
ploye doing the humble work of "brak-
ing" in the Northwest realizes that Nor
gan figures in his wages, the ignorant
miner, thousands OF feet down III the
earth of Pennsylvania, who seldom sees
the sunlight, knows that Morgan can
raise or lower the price of his labor; dig
nif1ed ministers of finance in the cabinets
of the Gar of Emperor William of EN-
ward the Seventh, wonder ''if Morgan
will take bonds" whether Morgan is with
or against them. What is Morgan? Nor
gan is the financial name for the money
and Influence of John Rockefeller, James
Stillman, Schwab and others; or, for
Standard Oil and its dependencies, for the
steel Trust and its allied industries. AS
Morgan speaks, so move the winds in the
financial world.

He was the recognized radical leader OF
Great Britain. the future leader-designate
of the Liberal party, and a popular rival
of Mr.. Gladstone's for the political sup
port of the English masses. Rightly or
wrongly, he excited Mr.. Giadstones mis-
trust as to his party loyalty, and when
the g. o. NJ. was soon called upon to
form a ministry which was to embark
upon strong line of pro-national legisla-
ton for Ireland, the prime minister pur-
poseiy refused to give the ambitious mem
Der for West Birmingham either of two
posts in the government which he most
coveted, namely, that of chief secretary
for Ireland or secretary of state for the
colonies. He was given. instead, the
lowest place in the ministry which cat
ried a seat in the cabinet. Had he been
made chief secretary for Ireland he would
never have revoited against Mr.. Glad
stones home rule bill, and Ireland would
have obtained that limited form of self
government, If not in 1856, certainly in
1892

wrecked his policy of reconciliation for
Ireland and became a leader in the Union
list party. In 1895 he obtained one of the
portfolios from the Tories, which he
sought for in vain from his own party ten
years previously.
1t was this short-sighted action of the
late great Liberal leader in refusing to
satisfy the reasonable ambition of the
present colonial secretary fifteen years
ago which has landed England in the
present war in South Africa. Mr.. Cham
berlain, as successor to Gladstone, or
even as secondary leader in a new Lib
eral party would have remained true 40
the post-Majuba line of policy towards
the Beers, which he so eloquently de-
Tended down to 1886. His immense en-
ergy and reforming zeal would have found
ample scope for exercise on the wide pro-
gramme of social legislation which he had
outlined for the radical section of the
Liberals in 1885. The British Empire.
instead of standing to-day with ruined
military prestige, a hopeless war on its
hands in one continent, and the danger
of a more disastrous one on another, in
position isolated from the sympathy of
the civilized world, as results of the CO.
lonial secretary's anti-home rule lingo
ism, would in all probability, have avoid
ed the great crime against the Boer re-
publics which has justly entailed such
merited retribution at the hands of
Providential justice.
Indirectly Ireland has thus been the
means of bringing down this punishment
upon the heads of her English rulers, and
the end is not yet. Michael Davitt.

Baptists in this city. they are opposed to

THE BABY OF THE BABIES.

Vienna Progress: Twenty-six years ago
Mr.. George P. Woods wrote up the birth
of D. b. Wards first boy. and it was pub
lished in the Hawkinsvile Dispatch. Now
if the Industrious Woods was living he
could write up this boys first girl and
tell us in glowing language about F. o.
Wards baby the baby off the baby he
told the people about so long ago. This
baby is the first grandbaby of d. B.
Ward, the Ward whose baby was the
first baby then and is also the first grand
baby of A H. Sangster the baby of the
girl who was the first baby of the Sang
ster family twenty-years ago. This baby
is naturally the center of loneliness in
the Ward and Sangster families at Kerns.

AVALUABLE CITIZEN.

Cedartown Standard Hon. Charles Ad-
amson left yesterday for Philadelphia,
after spending ten days here looking af-
ter the interests of the big enterprises of
which he is the capable manager. Mr..
Adamson is justly proud of the fact that
through his initiative 81 100000 has been
invested here in cotton manufacturing,
and he is now working to secure a couple
more big mills for Cedartown, and his
continued sojourn in Philadelphia is for
the purpose of locating them there.

Tattnall Times Hagan): There was
fatal accident at Perkins mill. near this
place, on Monday morning causing the
death of Mr. Dwight Jacobs, young
man who had been working at the mill

MINNEAPOLIS MAN BEATEN

The high priced honor among cyclists
of making the first century of the new
year, and the exceptional honor this year
of accomplishing the first century of the
twentieth century, is now the proud pos
session of those well known st. Paul
wheelmen, Tom L. Bird and James Nc
Ilrath.
Up to the hour of the start at midnight
Dec. 81, 1t was expected that at least
seven riders would contest for this honor,
put when the critical moment arrived.
only the two mentioned appeared ready
for the starters signal The sub zero
weather and the reported bad condit on
of the country roads had the effect of
dampening the arder OF the other five.
A few moments before the glad tdingS
of the birth of the new century pealed
forth from the bells in hundreds Of
towers and shrieked out on the midnight
air from the brazen threats of hundreds
of steam whistles two riders, look pg
like Arctic explorers mounted on tan
dem, swept around the corner On
Seventh street near the Bird Cycle house
and stopped at the regular checking
station of the ST. Paul Tonka century
course at Seventh and st. Peter streets.
They were evidently dressed with full
understanding of the difficulties of the
long trip before them Bird wore WOODEN
tam-o-shanta hood pulled well down over
his ears, his face was almost concealed
in the folds of a heavy comforter and
he also wore a heavy canvas shooting
jacket over his coat and sweater. His
legs were encassed5 in canvas leggings
over his knickerbocKers and other weolen
covering. With moccasins on his feet
and heavy fur gloves on his hands he
certainly looked ready to brave any con-
dftion of wind ard weather which our
Minnesota climate could furnish even in
this Underwriters season. McIlrath was
similarly clad with the exception of
head gear. He wore a seal skin cap
pulled down over This face in way
that left little but his eyes exposed 10
the zero atmosphere. A large crowd of
friends and well wishers rapidly gathered,
until, at the start, there were at least
fifty people present.
Among the wen known century riders
noticed in this gathering were Mr.. ard
Mrs. M. c. Harrison, Mr.. and Mrs. G.
