PHILIP d. ARMOUR
DIES in CHICAGO

Chicago, Jan. Phillip Danforth
Armour-ph ilanthropist, tinancier and
multi-millionaire. head of the vast com
mericial establishment that bears his
name-died at his home. 2115 Prairie
avenue, mt 40 last evening. A muscu-
lar affection of the heart. known ms
myocardis. was the immediate cause OF
his death. He had been slowly recov-
ering from pneumonia that for three
weeks had threatened his life. AT
o'clock yesterday morning his heart
gave way under the strain of his re-
cent illness, his pulse running up to
1903. That was the beginning or the
end.
Mr. Armour was surrounded by his
family when he died Those at his bed
side, besides his physicians and nurses,
were his wife. Mrs. Philip ID. Armour,
Jr., and Mr.. and Mrs. j. Ogden Armour
and Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus. The
millionaire retained consciousness until
within an hour of his death.
During the day he had realized that
death was near. To those around him
he had said: ~ know am very sick,
and am ready for death when II
comes" Soon after luncheon, and just
before the physician forbade his taik-
ing any more, Mr.. Armour, in feeble
tones said that he would like to hear
the Lords prayer read.
One of the trained nurses who had
been attending him drew a chair to the
bedside and slowly read from the Bible
the prayer for which the dying man
had asked. 1t was read sentence by
sentence, and each was repeated by
Mr.. Armour When the "Anen" had
been repeated by him lie sank back
on the pillow and closed his eyes rest
fully. 1t was the last word the great
financier spoke. except feeble farewells
to his family a little later.

Government 70 Send Trees.

The September issue of Success says:
Next spring the secretary of agricul-
ture will distribute throughout the coun-
try young trees and seeds. Each member
of congress will be asked to furnish list
Of constituents to whom he would Ike TO
have trees or seeds sent. The seedlings
will be grown in the government propa-
eating houses and forwarded to their des-
tinations with specific instructions as to
how they should be raised and cared for
In this way the government expects to
start several new trees every year.
In a former issue Of The Journal we
had occasion to refer to the practice Of
some experiment stations OF growing
nursery stock and either give this away
or sell it below the prices OF responsible
nursery firms. Now comes the department
of agriculture with an offer OF trees ana
seeds for free distribution throughout the
country. We are aware that the honorable
secretary of agriculture does not fully ap-
prove Of the indiscriminate distribution OF
trees and plants, only being in favor OF
sending out new or scarce species which
are not usually grown by nurserymen, but
being likely to prove of value to certain
sections It is to be supposed that the de-
partment Of agriculture receives, orders
from congress which must be carried out.
Comment upon this action of the United
States government is not necessary to
prove that formal protest should be
made TO the agricultural committee of
congress for a reconsideration of such
measures as are injuring the legitimate
pursuit of nurserymen and seedsmen.

INTERESTING PEOPLE.

NJ Delcasse the French minister Of foreign
affairs, who has had much to do with the ar
engagements for the cars visit to France, is a
journalist who has his way to his position
straight from journalism. In England there is
only one journalist, pure and simple, who has
reached cabinet rank, and that is John Morley
Theophile Delcasse is a Gascon, who was born
a short distance from the town of Folk which
he now represents in the chamber. He began
life the Republique Franchise and made
foreign affairs his speciality. He has been in
the French parliament for only twelve years
Despite the sO-called Fashoda rebuff, he has
remained minister Of foreign affairs in three
ministries, and thus keeps up the continuity
Of policy at the Quai d Orsay. He will not be
so till March l next.
OF Lord Salisbury's curious detachment from
current affairs and of his occasional lapses
into forgetfulness many stories are being told
One relates to the extraordinary attack which
he made last year in the house of lords upon
the treasury and his subsequent apology Sir
Francis Mowatt the head of the British treas
ury, very naturally took the attack as a per-
sonal matter and sent in his resignation ac-
cordingiy Lord Salisbury it is said. was
never more surprised in his life. He had no
desire to make a personal attack upon any
body, and least Of all had he any intention
to make any reflection upon Sir Francis
Mowatt. What he thought-as the story runs
was that the permanent head of the treasury
was still Sir Reginald Welby. When informed
that he had for some years been sitting directly
opposite that gentleman, who had left the
treasury and taken his seat in the house Of
lords, Lord Salisbury expressed the utmost
surprise.

Y0UTSEY MAY ESCAPE PEN.
Believed He Will Be One of the Wit
nesses In Powers Case.

GEORGETOWN, Oct. lin the Caleb

Union operator at Barboursville, KY, tes-
titled Identifying several kilograms sent
by Powers to men in that locality in
structing them how many men to bring
to Frankfort. She said copies of the tele-
grams had been removed secretly from
the office and she did not know who had
taken them.
The impression gained that the COM
monwealth will not introduce Robert
Noakes, nor Finley Anderson, who were
conspicuous witnesses at the former trial
but there is a rumor afioat that Henry
E. Youtsey will be put on the stand to
tell all he knows about the affair as his
only hope Of escaping his life sentence.
Arthur Goebel, however, says Youtsey
will not be called by the commonwealth
Miss Lucy Brock, said to have been
Powers fiancee, testified of Powers saw
ing that Governor Taylor had given him
81 900 with which to pay the expenses. of
the mountain men, and that he and Chas.
Finley were raising the army.
Judge James d. Black, of Barbourville
democratic candidate for governor, tes-
titled that Professor Stevens, after the
shooting of Goebel, showed him a letter
from Powers saying;

PEACHES.
Leading Varieties for Shipping.

Leading Varieties for Shipping.
As the tree planting season win soon
be at hand we receive many inquiries as
TO the best varieties of peaches for ship
ping to eastern and western markets. 1t
is difficult to give a list of such varieties
as will suit every peach growing section
of Georgia, because Of the great differ
ences in soil, as well as climatic influences.
These conditions must be taken in con-
sideration.
During the last annual session Of the
State Horticulral Society great deal Of
practical information was derived from
the experience of our largest and most
successful fruit growers. Some varieties
like Triumph were found profitable in GER
tain sections, whereas in others large or
chards of that variety have been rebuild
ded because of its predisposition to rot. At
one time Fleita's st. John was considered
very desirable, as ii combined great
fruitfulness with early maturity, with
yellow color and good quality. In some
sections it still holds its own. while in
others it has lost rank. So is the Early
TillOtson, which, although conceded to be
a thoroughly. excellent peach for general
purposes, is yielding in popular estima-
ton, especially in the Fort Valley district,
to the Hilley which ripen with the Til
lotson and ST. John. The Hilley is also
called Early Belle, but must not be con-
founded with the Belle of Georgia, which
it resembles, as the latter is a much later
ripening peach.
AS an example for the difference in the
behavior of some varieties, the Emma,
which has been most remarkably profita-
BILE in Mr.. S. II. Rumph's orchards. where
ii originated, has entirely failed to yield
any crop i'm other sections not far distant
from its place of origin.

Billy Jack became desperate. He deci-
ded that he would leave the city and go
far, far away into the country, where he
might find some one who would let him
earn his daily bread by almost any kind
of work He walked slowly up town, in
tending to cross the bridge, take the first
road he came to and walk as far as ne
could. The weather was very warm, and
by the time Billy Jack had reached the
park he was very tired He dropped into
a seat under the shade Of a great tree
anu in a few minutes was sound asleep.
Bluy Jack dreamed a most delicious
dream. He saw a vision of wealth that
amazed him. He was millionaire his
secretary stood at his elbow and explain
ed how he might make still more millions.
1t was splendid. He awoke as a glittering
pile of gold was laid before him. Billy
Jack rubbed his eyes and looked around.
1t was twilight now, and that part Of the
park was deserted, except for two very
well-dressed, middle-aged men, who sat
by his side. They were talking in low
tones and of millions! = 1t was probably
their conversation that had prompted his
delightful dream.
Il tell you" said the elder man, 'that
the deal is bound to be successful. No
one knows of our combination. The i've
of us who make the pool will realize ten
times the money we have put in
But the B. & H. line has bad his
tory" objected the other.
Exactly" asserted the first, land that
is just why we can manipulate 1t as we
please"
Good" was the reply. You can
count on me to the limit" And the
younger man arose and hurried away,
while the elder smiled family.
Billy Jacks head whirled. Just think!
If he was only in the pool he might make
10 times his four dollars. That would be
$40! Why, that would keep him three
touched the gentleman on the sleeve.
please, sir, win you let me come in the
pool?" he asked The man started vio-
lently. What-what pool?' he asked.
1.-The B. & H." ventured Billy Jack.
The man looked serious; this boy could
ruin his plans by telling what he knew to
tie first passerby. who are your" he
asked at length.
BILLY Jack" was the prompt response,
and / would like to put my four dollars
in your pool, so 1 can make forty dol
lars. and then 1 won't have to starve."
The mans eyes grew moist.
els IL as bad as that?" he asked, kind
ly. Your parents''-
-''They's dead" said Billy Jack, and he
rubbed his knuckles into his eyes. But
If you'll let me join your pool
''See here" said the man. IF you will
promise to say nothing about what you
have heard, and not to speculate without
my permission, I viii take you into my
office. That viii be better for you than
going into the best pool than ever hap
pened.'
yes. sir" said Billy Jack. "rn promise
this very minute" and he did.

The following varieties have for the past
twelve years been tibet most profitable
for eastern markets, and for sections COM
prising the counties Of Macon, Houston,
Perry. Randolph, Sumter, etc. and in or
der of maturity, viz: Rivers, TillotsOn,
Belle of Georgia. st. John. liberia. Now
this list is being gradually changed by
eliminating st. John and Tillotson and
substitutin Hileys, Carman, Slappey.
This latter is much like the liberia in
shape, except being more oblong and rip
ening ten to fourteen days ahead of the
liberia.
In middle Georgia 1t is desirable to grow
the earlier ripening varieties as that sec
ton has practically no competition as to
those early sorts; but as to the extra early
varieties as Alexander. Sneed, etc, they
are of uncertain value, because tie east
ern and western markets taking but linn
tied quantity on account of their inferior
quality as compared with the late June
and July varieties. Still, when Alexander
has been well grown upon red land and
generously thinned out so as to increase
its size. very satisfactory prices are often
secured.
No one variety, however, has given bet
ter results than the alberta, both from
south and north Georgia.
1t would not be advisable to plant the
earlier ripening varieties in north Geor-
gia, because when ready for market they
would come in competition with south
Georgia grown Elbertas.
From what we have said 1t must be UNI
derstood that Whine the following lists are
for the southern, middle and
northern sections Of Georgia, there must
be added or subtracted some varieties
which are of more or less local value and
should therefore receive such attention as
consistent with their adaptability to given
localities.
For South and Middle Georgia: Alexan-
der and Sneed in limited quantities; Riv-
ers, st. John, Tillotson, Early Belle or
Hiley's. Red River Carman, Thurber,
Mountain Rose, Elberta, Slappey Salway
and Emma for special soils.
For North Georgia: Fleetas st. John,
Mountain Rose, Early Crawford, Thurber,
Stump the World, Ebert and Salway.
The latter variety winds up the list OF
varieties for shipping north and even then
it comes in competition with the Delaware
crop of large sized sorts.
