HoG-RlPENED WHISKY:
Old Time Tavern Keeper Who Knew
.-+& '- How to Advertise. IA Ei%'l-'

40" 20 <AWVS3HAUSs
From the Philadelphia Record: -, z.,n ,I
Doylestown. Pa.-There are but few
people who can be induced to believe
that there ever was such a drink aa
: 'hog-ripened whisky but among the
older generation it would be no trouble
at all to secure. affidavits that such .
beverage was well known in! this -:
mediate. vicinity. There was in the
days gone by, in village only four
tavern that soon became famous
through its proprtetor's unique 1nven>
lions and ingenious scontrfvances to at
tract attention to his hosiery. Then,
as now, to succeed meant the necessity
OF being we'll advertised. In his effort
to do something new "Une1e Billy al
he was called, conceived an invention
that was potent in making his tavern
the most talked about one for miles
around. The result, as known to the
patrons Of the inn, was some good
whisky, Of some age, that had been
continuously agitated while within the
oaken casks within which the: drinks
were kept for "ripening." '%fJ - T.
What the curious ones discovered
about the invention was this: When
they went to see the ripening Of the
whisky they found hogpen with q
nix floor. SO balanced as to swing
li21 a big barn scale. There was on
open side farthest from the feeding
trough, and the sides were fenced:
The way the thing operated was sim
pie enough. The hogs were out In the
yard rlosing around, when they heard
the splash of the feed as it was put in
the trough. Naturally; as the weight
came first on the side farthest from
the trough, that side of the floor tiltet
down under the swine's weight.: Wher
they all got over to the trough tina,
side, in turn, went down. And SO thu
plank floor was rocked back and forth
every time a hog went in: or out: "
Connected with this swing platform
was another one which received equiv.
alent motion, Of course. through tn,
medium of long lever. On this sec.
ond platform were set the casks o.
whisky which were to undergo til,
ripening process. OF course, every tim,
the lower floor rocked so did the upper
likewise, and the whisky was shaker
around with every motion.
Naturally, Uncle Billy's hogs wer,
fatter than anybody .else's, becaus,
they were fed 80. much oftener. Par
of the ripening depended on feeding thu
hogs, so dis to make them rush II
through the open door and thus shake
the platform.

HANNA PAYS TRIBUTE e
........., TO DEAD PRESIDENT

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-In a copyrighted
article in the National Magazine, United
States Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio,
writes at length concerning the late Pres
ident William Mckinley. In conclusion
the writer gives the following personal
"reminiscences: .'.-.--
IT know of nothing in all history that
can compare with the splendid climax and
ending OF this noble life. One of the
sweetest. consultations that, come to me is
the, memory that on Tuesday, preceding
his DEATH, he asked to see newspaper.
and when he was told, Not today he
asked rs Mark here?'
( Yes, Mr.. President was the response.
and in that one sweet last remembrance
was a rich reward for the yearsAof devo-
ton which 1t had always been my pleasure
to give him.
There was nothing in the expression Of
his face or manner denoting exultation
over his victory when 1t was announced
that he was elected president. He seemed
to realize fully the sacred responsibilities
placed upon him, and the quiet dignity
and self-possession which marked the man
then and in days after were just what his
personal friends expected of him. The
first day greeted him after he was in
augurated at the white house, in the
course of our conversation inadvertently
called him Major and Governor and
when stopped to correct myself he would

STRANGE THEORY
CAUSED THE Count

J. H. jackson, junk dealer at TS3 Ma
rietta street, the man who with four as
sistants counted the people who crossed
the yiaduct from s o'clock in the morning
until II o'clock at night on the day before
Christmas, refuses 10 give out the results
of his count, and says it may be some time
before he will do so, since he is being
guided in the matter by the spirit Of God
From early morning until late at night
Jackson with his assistants were standing
along the walks of the viaduct jumping
around, darling hither and thither in their
efforts to keep up with the Christmas shop
pers. The assistants worked an hour and
rested an hour, keeping count or the
crowds by the hundred, for each Of which
they made mark on pencil pads. Strange
to say, not even the assistants have an
idea as to the number Of people. they
counted When their rest time would come
they turned the marked slips Of paper
over to Jackson, not having an opportu-
nifty to foot them up.
Only jackson and his son-in-law, John
N. Green, of 10 Curran street, know the
real number. They say that they may at
some time in the near future offer a prize
for the nearest guess to the number OF
people who passed across the viaduct.
jackson tells peculiar story as. to the
manner in which he came to make the re-
markable count. t ...
/ About three or four months ago, SAID
he, IT was on my knees praying, when
heard the voice of God whisper as plainly
as am now speaking. It said: Go and
count the people who cross the new via
duct on Christmas eve l have fulfilled
the Lords command L do not know what
He wanted me to do II for, but watched
and prayed until the night before Christ
mas eve. I then told Green, my son-in-
law, who married my daughter just
few DAYS ago, and my family about 1t.
1t was decided in a few minutes to do the
counting and 1 soon engaged my assis-
tants.
II watched and prayed over 1t all that
time, and at last. as 1T always will, the
spirit Of God led the way. am watching
and praying now for the Lords command
as to what 1 shall do with the figures
that only myself and my son-in-law know.
It's a good thing to watch. You know
that almost every time the Bible says
anything about prayer It has the word
watch before IT. ] reckon have lost
more money in my life by not watching
beforehand than any other way. This time
I am watching and waiting for the guild
ance of the spirit to tell me what to do.
No, can't tell you; I am just watching"
Mr.. jackson says he is a praying man,
though he is a martyr to his religious be-
lief He say that with about 80 other peo-
ple he was turned out of the Methodist
church for violating rule 3O1, Of the church
government which says that the members
must ask permission of the pastor before
they can. hold religious services. Green
says that he Is in the same relation to the
church. having been turned out for preach
ing the gospel. .-t

FIRST STEP MADE
FOR CONSOLIDATION
PETITION FOR CHARTER FOR THE
GEORGIA RAILWAY AND
ELECTRIC co.

The first step In what is believed to be
the contemplated consolidation of the
street railway, electric lighting and steam
heat properties of Atlanta was announced
Thursday by the application for new
charter for an entirely new corporation,
to be called the Georgia Railway and Elec-
trio Company, with a capitalization Of So
900, 900.
The application for a charter is to the
secretary of state and Is made by H. NJ.
Atkinson, P. S. Arkwright, r. E. Guilt
name s. j. Bradley, NJ. B. Lipseomb, f.
NJ Sisk, @. w. Brine, j. q. Rossman, J..
r. Hunter and w. B. Stoyall. all of At
lanta.
The advertisement was sent to The
Journal office Thursday for insertion.
1t will doubtless be a complete surprise.
Mr.. Atkinson and others whose names
appear among the list OF incorporators
were asked that afternoon for statement
regarding the effect of the charter that
has been advertised, but they declined to
make any statement, saying that the adj
vertisement spoke for itself and that they
had nothing further to add to its con-
tents.
The name under which the new COM
pany will be formed is Tie Georgia Rail-
way and Electric company. From the
name of the new corporation IT may be
readily noticed that in effect IL is the first
way and electric light properties, as the
new company asks the right to purchase
and operate such properties.
1t is said that this move on the part Of
those interested means the end Of all ef-
forts on their part regarding the question
of taxes.
The application for a charter is for 10l
years. includes all the streets and roads
in Fulton and DeKalb counties on which
lines OF both the Atlanta Railway and
Power company and the Atlanta Rapid
Transit company are now operating. The
charter applied for also gives the right
to own and operate electric plants. fur
nish electric power and steam heat.
Assistant City Attorney Hill and others
connected with the city government de-
clined to discuss the application for a
charter.
The application for the charter win Ike
ly cause considerable comment among the
members OF the city council. and the new
charter and proposed consolidation viii
probably be the cause OF resolutions and
debate in the new council when that body
takes cognizance of II.

RIoToUs cELE5RATIoN
IN CHARLOTTE N. c.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec. 25-Among
the things which this city is noted is the
unique manner in which the younger and
more hilariously inclined celebrate Christ
mas AS this dispatch is written the din
on the streets is enough to run a man
with nerves crazy. A local prohibitory tax
upon fireworks is responsible for the use
of tin horns and COW bells which make the
town about Christmas time take on the
aspect OF a region which had been given
over entirely to the carnival spirit and
that the latter had run wild. r..
A day or two before Christmas the boys
begin to buy horns and go about the
streets with string of large COW bells
dragging behind them on the pavements.
The messenger boys take several bells,
hitch them behind their bicycles and
make a noise almost sufficient to wake the
dead. The pent-up holiday enthusiasm
finds vent In this manner.
The negroes are not to be left out in
this special Christmas observance, and
no matter how ill-clothed or ill-fed the
average small colored boy may appear, he
manages to provide himself with horn
and at least one cow-bell and makes full
use of the opportunity afforded him for
creating a racket. In the middle OF Inde-
pendence Square is planted an iron tablet
about ten feet square, marking the spot
where stood the courthouse in which the
Mecklenburg Declaration Of Independence
was signed. Upon this block of iron no
ted four negro boys, each with a horn and
a string OF bells, and the din they were
raising was really a revelation in the.
noise making art.
Such a fixed institution has the ringing
Of bells and blowing Of horns become here
that the hardware stores lay in great sup
plies Of COW bells for the holiday trade.
They appear to be as staple holiday arti-
Gle in Charlotte as are any of the other
things usually purchased by Christmas
shoppers. The noisy celebration of Christ
mas extends over about four days, and
during that time at least this city could
not be accused of being a sleepy town"
