ADAPTED TO STOCK AND GRAIN
PRODUCTION.

lhe region under consideration IS,
however, mainly adapted to growing
grain and grazing stock. Much of it
is adapted to growing both grain and
stock, but certain areas, especially
towards the mountain, are only adapt
ed to ranching, except where irriga-
tion will yet be introduced. This, of
course, can be done successfully along
the many streams that flow down from
the Rockies, and water the country
towards the east and north. The.
adaptation of the country for wheat
production is of | high character.
The cool nights that usually charac-
terize the ripening season are em-
inently favorable to the filling of the
grain, and to the securing of plump
berry, and consequently large yields.
The crop this year is a magnificent
one. In Manitoba and the Territories
it should certainly give an average of
more than 90 bushels per acre. But
should the yield be not more than 20
bushels, the crop will be a most hand
some one, owing to the large area
sown to wheat. Many farmers only
grow grain. But those who do suc-
ceed as well in growing oats and barley
as in growing wheat, hence these foods
for live stock should always be
abundant. Some grow cattle main
ly and others combine the two.
The last named, of course, is
doubtless the safest of the three,
during long course of years, that
is to say, where such farming is prac-

eleven holes. The game was an excellent
one, despite the one-sdedB5ess of the
scores, and was lost by Savannah, not by
any poor playing on their part, but by the
really superior paying of their opponents,
whom the Savannah men voted to be all
good fellows. and among the very best
players Of the royal and ancient game
that they had ever been pitted against.

NEW CLUBS POLICY
THE ORGANIZATION LOOKED UPON
AS A COLLINS BOOM.
MAY BE A GOO GOO CLUB.
WILL SHOW ITS STRENGTH IN
ELECTION For ORDINARY.

Candidates Waiting for the County
Commissioners TO Fix the Date for
the EIectiOn-The Contest VIII
Then Re On-TaIk of Maj. screven's
Successor as Superintendent of
Police in Event of HIS Election as
Ordinary.
The formation Of THE United Club" at
Metropolitan Hall on Friday night was
the topic with the politicians yesterday,
and the significance of the new political
organization was discussed on every side.
1t was generally agreed that from the
complexion Of those who organized the
club its support and influence in the con-
test for ordinary will go to Mr. ]. S.
Collins.
While It may be and probably is true
that the club was not formed solely for
the purpose Of taking part in the election
for ordinary still it is believed that it's
early organization was for the purpose
of actively supporting Mr. Collins. The
members are enthusiastic over the out
look, and say that they will number l go
within the next six months. 1t is said
that the club intends to get good con-
servative citizen at its head and the name
Good Government Club" has been sug-
gested and may be adopted by the com
mittee, named to select a name and per-
manent officers. While the full strength
Of the new organization may not be felt
in the contest for ord nary it is predicted
that 1t will be a power in Chatham with
in very short time.
The district leaders continue to shout
the praises of their favorites for ordi-
nary, but there have been no changes in
the situation as far as can be discovered.
A member of the new club stated that
he believed there would be at least three
candidates in the field, and that there
vas a strong likelihood of even a great
er number of candidates for the office.
After the County Commissioners have
fixed the date of the election, meetings
will be held by the friends and supporters
of the several gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned in connection with
the Office Until that time 1t is not very
probable that much will be done in the
way Of holding meetings.
The friends of the several parties men,
toned for superintendent Of police, In the
event of the election of Maj. Screven, are
not waiting until the ballots are counted
to do their work. but are laying their
wires now. Ex-Chief of Police Frank Nc
Dermott, Magistrate Michael Naughtin
and Mr.. Charles Garfunkle are those
who are most prominently mentioned in
this connection now, and their friends
have already begun an active campaign.

HAS AN OLD MASTER.
MFR. II. l.. Clancy Discovers That He
Is the Owner of n Guido.

"Jeune Sybille.".a picture 10 by u inches
OF which Guido REM or as he is better
known. Guido. is the painter, is the art
treasure that Mr.. R. l.. Clancy of this
city recently discovered among his pos
sessions. The picture, which is painted
on piece OF metal, is in an excellent state
of preservation; it is true. as it is OF
most Old pictures, that il is cracked in
places, but not so badly as to detract
much from either its beauty or its value.
The picture has been In the family OF
Mr.. Clancy for some years, in fact SO
long that its history is unknown. No
particular interest or value was attached
to 1t, SO no great care was taken of IL,
and 1t would still have remained practi-
caily unknown had not there been to tho
house recently, a lady, Mrs. W6itman Of
New York, the wife of an art critic of that
city and herself well versed In the schools
OF paintings, and familiar with the works
and values of the old masters. She saw
the picture by accident and Immediately
pronounced 1t Guido, and placed its
probable value at a figure that ranked
up in the thousands.
The picture is unsigned but has always
been known as Gu do since it has been
In the possession of Mr. Clancy's rela-
tives The style. said the lady who ex-
amined It, Is characteristic, and the pic
ture is of value should it ultimately prove
to be only a copy.
Guido, who belonged to the school Of
Bologna, was born in that city on No
vember 4. 1916. He studied under Cal
vaert. and at the age of twenty entered
the school of Caracci, Of which he and
Domenichino were the most famous pu-
pills.
Among his most famous paintings are
Aurora and The Hours" and a Ma
tivity." in the choir of San MARITIME at
Naples; and he is also supposed to have
painted the portrait Beatrice Cenci," In
the Barberini Palace at Rome.
Mr.. Clancy expects to keep his picture
until he can show II to a competent
critic and have its identity established
as well as its value.

FOUND DYING ON STREET.
Commercial Drummer Sent TO sanI-
tarium in Ambulance.

A man in the last stages of consump-
ton arrived from Macon yesterday morn
ing over the Central Railroad, and asked
to be taken to some first class hotel.
His condition attracted the attention of
those with whom he came in contact, and
accommodations were refused him at
every place that he applied to. The hotel
keepers were not disposed to shelter a
man who appeared to be on the threshold
of death, even though he had sufficient
funds to pay for such services as he
might require. The man said that he
was w. S. Cooper, and had been a COM
mercial traveller until quite recently. He
was completely exhausted and was in a
critical condition when he was seen near
Bun and Broughton streets by a patrol
man. The police ambulance was summon
ed and at the mans request he was TAX
en- to the Park View Santarium, where
he now is. His condition was reported
last night as critical. Mr.. Cooper is said
to be a resident of Alabama, but nothing
is known of his family connection.

PAWNED STOLEN PLUMBER.
Ex-COrporaI Harris Held on Three
Criminal Charges.

r. s. Harris. % years old, and formerly
corporal in the Republican Blues, was ar
rested yesterday morning by City Detec-
tive Frank Wall and is held at the sta
tionhouse on three serious criminal
charges. The young man who gained
much notoriety by court-martiaI is held
in default of bail on two charges of lar
ceny and one of obtaining goods under
false pretenses.
Harris stole an overcbat Friday night
from Mr.. Mcintosh, who is stopping at
the Pulaski House, and took another coat
a night or two before from B. R. Lee.
The third charge, that of obtaining goods
under false pretenses, has been entered
by the Metropolitan Clothing Company
in whose place Harris had a fight with
one of the clerks Friday afternoon The
ex-corporaI was beaten in the pugilistic
encounter and now finds himself facing
serious charge and one that is appar-
emily unanswerable. The detectives re-
covered the two overcoats and the pawn
broker who took them in has identified
Harris, although the prisoner has made
no denial of any of the charges.
In the third case. il is charged that
Harris had suit of clothing sent out from
the store of the Metropolitan Clothing
Company and complained Friday after
noon that the trousers to the suit had
not been received by him. After a good
dead of arguing the Broughton street
merchants decided TO let the young man
nave another pair of trousers after his
positive declarations that he had only re-
ceived coat and vest. After his arrest
yesterday morning Detective Wall located
the first pair of trousers sent out by the
clothing firm, and the additional charge
was entered against him. The garment
had been pawned by the ex-corporal and
the ticket was found on him when
searched at the stationhouse. Harris win
be given a preliminary hearing by Re-
corder Myrick at tomorrow mornings

While waiting for a train to pull QUE
at the Central depot the other day man
strolled down to the engine. To him the
mammoth iron horse was wonder, and
he naturally inquired about the features
of construction. He asked about the poY

they make from here to Atlanta, and such
other things as suggest themselves to the
layman. Finally, he was told that one
of the most useful inventions In connec-
