Lyons, Ga. March 6.-Two burglaries
were committed here Tuesday night, be-

son, an old cripple. who is running a
small grocery store, was robbed of $3S. 90
and gold watch. He did not discover his
loss until morning. Peter Clifton, the
other sufferer, only lost about $780, hav-
ing that in his pantaloons pocket.
While the negro was going through Mr..
CliftOn's pockets Mrs. Clifton awoke,
thinking there was a dog in the room,
and started to get up to light a lamp.

Mr.. Clifton got his pistol as quick as he
could. and followed. The negro jumped

the case. 1t seems that fortune favored
the rascal for. as Mr.. Clifton got In the
yard he fell down. and one chamber CT
his pistol was discharged. which gave
the robber a considerable start. As soon
as he could get up and in range, he COM
menced shooting, firing the first shot
while the negro was getting over the
back fence. and two others while he was
running down the street He does not
think that either shot took effect.
The negro question is getting to be
serious one. While there are some good
negroes i'm this town. there are also 9TH
ers who are never seen doing anything
but by some means they are able to
wear fine clothes. white shirts and fancy
ties every dav in the week. The ques-
ton is how do they get these things.

From the New York World.
The salaries of the highest public Of
ficials in the United States are rfdicu-
lousy small compared with the incomes
of many prize-fghters, and the average
college president receives less than a
first-clcss chef.
The chief justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States receives s1O,5OO a
year, his associates $4,000, cabinet Of
ticials $500 and senators 5000
In contrast to this an enthusiastic pub
lie contributes about $4,000 a year TO the
support of Robert Fitzsimmons. and sew
eral other fighters have sometimes meas
ured by the tens of thousands
There are not more than half a dozen
college presidents in the country who
receive salaries of $4,000 a year. The
number who receive even 5000 a year Is
comparatively small. Throughout the
South and West the average is but 81. 900
or 5000 a year. There are number of
chefs in America with salaries of $4,000
a year. with valuable perquisites. A
great many more. known in the profess
sion as seconds" receive 5000 a year
The contrast is especially remarkable
when compared with the condition in 9TH
er countries, notably in Great Britain
England's Lord chief justice receives $40. .
600 year and the lord chancellor $4,000
with a retiring pension of $25,O 600 a year.
The position of lord chief justice CORE

Court with but $lO.5OO
The British Secretaries Of State receive
$4,000 a year each and life pension Of
$4,000 "A year. The cabinet officials of
the United states receive but 5000 sell
dom for a term Of over four years. and
no pension. The enormously responsible
position of Attorney General of the Unit
ed States pays 5000 or probably less
than the salary of the cook who prepares
his meals. The British Attorney General

A LAPLAND TEACHER.
Mrs. Samuel Kemi, Wife of the Chief
Reindeer Herder in Alaska.

Reindeer Herder in Alaska.
The government experiment of intro
ducing reindeer in Alaska has been a
success. One of the main features in
connection with the enterprise was Sc
curing the services of experienced lap
land herders and their families to care
for the deer but more especially to teach
the Alaskan EsquimauX the method of
breeding, herding and the driving of the
deer in harness. There are some eighty
six Laplanders, men and women, now
engaged in this work of instructing the
natives. They are distributed at the
several government reindeer stations and
are under a contract for three years with
the Interior Department.
a photograph shows the wife of the
chief Lap-hereder, Mrs, Samuel Kemi,
at Port Clarence station, and her baby,
the first Lapland child born in America
and the peculiar and characteristic lap
land cradle, which is hewn out of a
solid log and carried on the back by
strap. in the fashion shown In the
photo. Mrs. Kemi is very intelligent,
end her particular duty is to teach
the Esquimaux women the art of max
ing reindeer clothing, which is the
Alaska. She also instructs them how
to prepare the various food stuffs which
the reindeer furnishes, such as butter.
cheese, and the cooking and drying of
the meat For this work she receives
the same pay as the herders. She trav-
els from station to station where the
EsquimauX women are assembled, from
the surrounding country, from 80 to
100 miles or more. She then gives daily
object lessons in her domestic work.
ana gradually the Esquimaux women
are learning the advance ways of civil
iZation
Aside from the point of speedy trans
portation in the frozen territory, the
matter of establishing a permanent food
supply for the native folk was the main
idea which the government had in the
introduction of the domesticated REIN
deer among the Esquimaux The race
was on the verge of starvation, as the
white man had invaded their land and
Killed off all the whale, walrus, seal,
caribou and other animals which form
their sole. source of sustenance. Now.
however, by the use of these fleet footed
ana useful little animals the problem of
travel and existence has been solved for
the EsquimauX, and it is hoped that the
race VIII be changed from a hunting to
a pastoral and civilized people. The In
terror Department have been examining
Alaska with regard to it's capability of
sustaining reindeer, and find that upon
the basis allowed by the Norwegian
government, Of so many deer to the
square mile, Alaska has pastuage suffi-
cient for 100000 head of reindeer.

REPoRTs FROM THE GINS.

A special from warrenton, Ga, says:
The government has indicated that it will
very likely adopt the plan for ascertain
ing the number of bales of cotton raised
annually that was first suggested by Capt
Gallaher. Capt. GaEaher's plan is very
simple one, and would come nearer Sc
curing the actual amount raised than any
thst we have ever considered. He sug-
gests that each state require every gin
merry TO make monthly returns to the or
binary of the amount ginned during the
month In this way there would be no
opportunity for manipulation, and the
farmers could rely on the reports. 1t has
been suggested that the farmers would
slip up on the cotton. world by holding
back their cotton from the gins. 1t is not
probable that this would be attempted to
any material extent. and besides, when
farmers cotton is ready to gin, nine out
of ten want it ginned and packed so that
he will be in position to take advantage
of any rise in the price

Macon Telegraph: In the early part of
