WHAT LONDON FORGETs.
Umbrellas Chiefly, but Almost Every
thing Else to a Yearly Total of

From the London Daily Express.
Few of us are so fortunate as not to
lose or forget some article or another in
the course of twelve months travelling
in and about the metropolis, and though
many are lucky enough to came by their
own again after more or less searching,
the majority of articles are never again
seen by their owners.
People who fall under the latter cate
CORY may derive some consolation and GER
tainly much instruction from most in
teresting article which appears in the
February number of the Royal Magazine.
From this we learn that a years for
getfulneSs on the part of persons travel
ing in London's hackney and stage car
riages results in the chief commissioner
of police being burdened with the care
and responsibility of no fewer than 49, SOL
articles Of all sorts and values.
I7,4O7 Umbrellas and 3,2I0 Purses.
The losing of umbrellas is not only very
real, but a positive disease. You will find
that very few people, including the most
orderly and methodical, have not been
guilty of losing at least one umbrella In
their day. And ii is in buses, trans,
and hansoms that most of these umbrellas
are discovered.
How many umbrellas are lost every year
and never heard of again? 1t would be
hard to say. But in recent year no few
er than l7497 found their way through
the honesty of bus and tramcar couduc-
tors and cab drivers, into the Lost Prop
erty ONCE of Scotland Yard.
Just think of it, nearly half of the total
number of articles left behind by the for
getful Londoners are umbrellas, lost
purses being bad second at 3,2l4.
Why should umbrellas be treated with
such contemptuous negligence? The best
solution OF the mystery seems to lie in the
fact that whereas most other articles hap
pen to be In some way attached to our
persons, umbrellas depend for their safe
custody merely on our memories and
hands. Anyway there is a safe fortune
awaiting the inventor of infallible UNI
brella reminder. His well-gotten gains
would easily enable him TO out Rockefel-
Ter the weathiest Rockefeller of them all.
All manner of things, from leg of NUT
ten to barbers pole accumulate in the
lost property office, the miscellaneous
trifes numbering about 5000 a year.
Most of the 3.214 purses which found
their way to Scotland Yard in 1899 belong
ed to the fair sex. one OF these contained
no less than 1850 and It speaks volumes
for the honesty of our underpaid conduc-
tors that It was brought to the authori-
ties as mere matter of course.
The year 1898 gives us a good average
for finding out whether women are more
forgetful than men, and It was then that
the women Of London left l,793 garments
behind them. and the men of London

1t is a difference. and It answers the ques-
ton in the affirmative.

"Give me pony of brandy. quick" ex-

rushed up to the bar in a Broad street

was at once forthcoming, but instead of
gulping IL down as the mans manner
naturally suggested he would do. he pour

rubbed them together and buried his
nose in his hand. He gave long-drawn
shifts of inhalation until the liquor had
avaporated. and then poured more from

he repeated until the glass was empty.
Then he paid for his drink and went out

The value of an article seems to have
no influence whatever on the memories
of some people; newspapers and books of
small account and jewelry worth many
pounds, are all one to them.

An Increase of 30 Per Cent.
Forgetfuiness is not only on the in
crease. but in the last few years has in
creased by 30 per cent. Thus the total
number OF articles left behind in 1894 was
2O,7l6; in 1898 II reached the heavy figure
of 1921, aud in 1899. the last year we

SUGAR MAKING IN GEORGIA.

Macon Telegraph: The coming sugar
territory lies to the south of Macon, from
about this latitude to the Gulf and to the
South Atlantic coast. 1t will be found
when the experiments are made-and
made they will be in the near future
that the Southrn part of this state and
Middle Florida is TO become a great sug
ar-producing section. 1t is already known
that the low lands in this area named
will produce cane containing 2 per cent.
sucrose more than the Louisiana cane,
and that the high or ridgelands, while
they will not yield as many tons per
acre, will produce 4 per cent. of sucFose
more than the Louisiana product. II is
also known that fresh pine lands with
out manure will yield from fifty to TWEEN
ty tons of cane per acre. We
have no doubt that the day is not distant
when from Savannah to Columbus, and
from Fernandina TO cambridge sugar
mills will be almost as common as pub
lie gins. Why not? The possibilities are
in the soil; the capacity is in the farmer
to make the sucrose; the capital is plen-
tiful and II must and will come TO the
field where it can be most profitably en-
ployed,

Twenty Eight years ago to-day the writ

In the revolving years the paper has
never missed an issue In sunshine and

ty-eight years of continuous unbroken

our life to the work. Our shortcomings
have been many, but intentions have
been good. 1t has been our aim to en-
courage all that was good and enobling.
For the upbuilding of Thomasville, sur
rounding towns, county and section, we
have earnestly labored. And our reward,
after these long years, consists, largely,
in the consciousness that we have done

BagIey of Chattohoochee county, was ar
raigned before United States Commits

of Illicit distiling. His preliminary trial

Democratic candidate for Representative.
in Chattahoochee county three years ago,
Mr.. Bagley was arrested charged with
the crime He was defended by Thomas
e Watson and other lawyers of note, and
his trial was one of the most sensational
in the history of the county. AS will be
remembered, he was cleared. Columbus
friends of Bagley say that he is perfectly
innocent of the Illicit distilling charge,
his arrest being under a misapprehension,
and that he will clear himself The al

ly swollen, and the skin almost lacerated
from the tension of the cord by which
he had been suspended. Hart says that
he comes from Battle Creek, Mich, that
all his people were Seventh Day Ad-

up to the teachings of that denomination.
He feels that he has been cruelty OUT
ragged and he has a clear case for heavy
damages against the city government,
which he will undoubtedly push.
