AUGUSTA

AUGUSTA, Ca, Nov. 29.-Mr. B. F.
Seago, a prominent and very successful
farmer at burst, in Richmond county. will
engage in silk raising on a large scale.
Mr.. Seago is convinced that there are
things more justifable to raise in the
south than cotton, and though previously
a large cotton planter he has discontinued
raising the staple and tried other things
AS a grower and maker of fine syrup
he has made great success, making this
year thousands of gallons, which he puts
up in neat tin cans, and for which he
finds a ready market at good price.
He will this winter plant a great or
chard of mulberry trees, and while these
are growing raise as many silkworms as
he thinks he can care for, in order to learn
how to work with them by the time his
trees shall have grown enough. He has
abundant means, and being most care
full man, who fully considers before engag-
ing in anything and who has carried ev-
erything he has undertaken to success,
Ii Is believed that he will make a success
of this business, If it is possible here.
That silk worms can be raised here
and good silk produced cannot be doubt
ed, as for years staple article in the
sporting goods stores of Augusta have
been silk fish lines, made by a family in
Jefferson county who raised the worms
and spun and twisted the silk with home
made machinery.

YANKEE LABOR
BEITERTHAN
IN ENGLAND
ALFRED M0SELY SAYS AMERk
CAN LAB0RER, TOO, FARES
BETTER THAN WORKERS
ACROSS THE BIG POND.

NEW YORK. Nov 2e.-Alfred Mosely.
the retired English merchant, who. with
a number of workmen, has made six
weeks tour of this country to study in-
dustrial conditions here and Canada,
says:
Our trip. on the whole, was eminently
satisfactory. We were all impressed
with the thorough up-to-dateness Of ev-
erything we saw. Another thing that inns
pressed us was the courtesy and frank
ness of American employers and the
pains they were taking to make willing
to take to explain the methods in use at
their respective factories and works"
All the delegates viii report their Inn
pressions to the unions of their respective
trades on their return to England.
Terence Flynn, of the tailors' union.
said:
Counting the extra outlay in rent ana
clothes-for food and all else are cheaper
the American workman is 25 per cent
better off than the workman in England.
"On the whole, he is far better cared
for in respect of good sanitation, general
comfort and better equipment than we
are, and, on the whole, he lives as long
or longer in harness than the English
workman. This too old at fifty principles
does not prevail among the workmen,
wherever else IL may be found. We
speak from observation. Here pauperism
or penury in old age is almost unknown.
The records of the English warehouses
speak for themselves.

ALL STUDENTS MUST PASS
ENTRANCE, EXAMINATIONS

Representatives OF Mercer University,
the University OF Georgia and Emory Col
lege Saturday decided to recommend
20 the faculties OF those institutions TO
require entrance examinations OF all stu
dents who apply for admission and 10 Go
away with the plan OF admitting them on
certificates from certain preparatory
schools in the state.
The meeting OF the representatives OF
the colleges was held in the Office Of State
School Commissioner Glenn. Those present
at the meeting were Walter b. Hill and
d. c. Barrow. OF the University OF Geor-
gia: J. r. Dickey. NJ. T. Peed. w. L. We
Der and c. W. Peppler. OF Emory; and
y. d. Pollock. ]. s. Murray and w. H.
fitzpatrick. OF Mercer.
For many years 1t has been the custom
among the institutions represented At the
meeting Saturday TO admit students
from certain prep schools in the state
on certificates from presidents OF those
schools stating that the student was. quail
flied to enter the class named upon the
certificates Applicants holding these GER
tihcates were admitted TO the classes
without opposition.
This plan. however. has been unsatisfac-
tory for several years passed, and IL is
claimed by some. puts some applicants for
admission TO the colleges at a disadvan-
tage. II was the recommendation OF the
college men that the faculties OF
the University of Georgia, Mercer and
Emory do away with the plan altogether.
AS a result OF the meeting IL was agreed
TO form a permanent organization and
another meeting viii be held in October
for the purpose OF electing officers and ar
ranging for a constitution for the associa-
ton. 1t is expected that all of the profess

JOHN WILBY KILLED
At FOUNDRY
CROSSING
DIES AT THE SAME PLACE WHERE
HIS SON WAS KILLLD BY
A TRAIN TWELVE
YEARS AGO.

At the Foundry street railroad crossing,
on the exact spot where u years ago his
son was fatally injured, John Wildly was
struck by a freight train and killed Fri
day afternoon at o'clock.
Mr.. Wildly, who lived at 80 Foundry
street, was on his way home. but at the
railroad crossing he found his way blocked
by a string of freight cars and halted
until the crossing should be cleared. While
he was standing thus, passenger train
began to go over the tracks of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad which was to
his rear. Almost at the same time third
string of cars, being rushed by a switch
engine, ran down the Central track upon
which Mr.. Wildly was standing. The cars
approached unseen by Mr.. Wildly. striking
him with great force and crushing his
skull. An ambulance was summoned and
the journey to the Elkin-Cooper sanitari-
UNI was begun, but before that institu-
ton was reached the injured man had
breathed his last. The deceased was 20
years of age.
Just 12 years ago. Henry Wildly, son of
the deceased, in a wagon with another
boy, attempted to go past the crossing.
The wagon was struck by a passing train
and young Wilby's companion instantly
killed. Wildly himself was so injured that
he never recovered and died two or three
years later as the result of the accident.
Mr.. Wildly. who was killed on Friday
afternoon, had lived in Atlanta several
years and was well known. He was
member of St. Philip Episcopal church
and a Mason Atlanta lodge No. So. He is
survived by three children. They are: Mrs.
Lizzie Gewie and George Wildly, of At
lanta, and Mrs. w. II. Murphy. of Mont
gomery. Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy arrived

RUSSIA MUST
PAY HEAVY
DAMAGES
VERDICT IN FAMOUS SEIZURES
OF AMERICAN SEALING
SHIPS BY RUSSIA IN AMERI'
CAS- FAVOR.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 29-Prof. Asser. the
Dutch jurist, who has been arbitrating
the claims of American sealers, for the
seizure of their vessels by the Russian
government about ten years ago. has de-
livered his award in favor of the United
States.
He appraises the damages in the case Of
the American schooner G. H. White at
$50, 444, in the case of the James Hamil-
ton Lewis, at $2S,5SS; the Kate and Anna,
at LASS, and the Cape Horn Pigeon, at
$Ss, $50.
Prof. Asser delivered his judgment in
the arbitration court in the presence of
the representatives of the United States
and Russia and others, including the for
eign minister of the Netherlands, DR.. Van
Lyndenar.
In giving his reasons for the award.
Prof Asser held that the schooner c. H.
White was seized outside Russian terri
torial waters, and that the Russian con-
tention that a warship of one nation was
entitled to pursue beyond the boundaries
of it's territorial seas a ship of another
nation guilty Of Illegal action within these
waters. was untenable. The arbitrator
declared that the Jurisdiction of the state
could not extend beyond its territorial wa
ters, except by special treaty. The seiz-
ure and confscation of the Q. H. White
and the Imprisonment of her crew was
therefore illegal, and Russia was con-
demned to pay the G. H. White $50, 444.
with interest at per cent.
The dispute was the subject of pro-
tracted negotiations, resulting in an agree
ment in 1900 between Count Lamsdorff.
minister of foreign affairs of Russia, and
Herbert H. d. Pierce, United States
charge d'affaires, St. Petersburg. desig-
mating Professor Asser, a member of the
council of state of the The Netherlands.
an arbitrator.
Prof. Asser decided June 80. 1892 that the
average catch for the basis of which de-
mands should be awarded, which was ex-
actly the contention advanced by DR..
Pierce, w4-o was the advocate for the
United States government
The decision carried with it the opin-
ion of the court that Russia must pay
damages and only left for further argu-
Inent the sum due in each case.
The case of James Hamilton Lewis is
governed by the same decision while in
the damages of $3S,750 and the interest
ages should include the prospective profits
of which the victim had been deprived
OF legislation.
The case of the Kate and Anna, the ar
bitrator decided that the captain could
have continued seal hunting and there
fore Russia was not responsible for the
prospective profits.
The James Hamilton leads and Kate
and Anna are given per cent interest
in the amount awarded.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Believing the
shot from his revolver had killed Mrs.
Julia Gerber, who refused to elope with
him, Max Sukawatsky, an Austrian, leap
ed through the window of her apartments
in East 74th street. He fell several stories

large calibre Gueling pistol of fine make.
The Austrian had made violent love to
Mrs Gerger, and about two months ago
was arrested for threatening her life.
This did not check his advances, however,
and while the woman and her sister were
sitting together he burst into the room.
After pleading that she elope with him
to Austria and receiving a refusal, he
drew his pistol and fired one shot. The
woman fell in a swoOn. Thinking he had
killed her, the Austrian rushed to the win
dow, anu before the wounded wOman's
frightened sister could check him, jumped
into the street. Crowds of masqueraders
were passing when the man fell, and
much excitement prevailed for a time.
Mrs. Gerber will probably recover.

MAN BOILED TO DEATH

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. H.-Falling into
a pot of boiling syrup near Clio, p miles
from Savannah, last night, Charles David
Shocks, a prosperous farmer, was fatally
burned by the boiling liquid. He fingered
for some hours, but despite every medical
attention and gentle service that could
be rendered him died at 3 o'clock this

Mr.. Shocks had been boiling syrup for
some weeks and was experimenting the
operation, when the accident occurred
which cost him his life. The syrup plant
consisted of two pots mounted on brick
foundations under which fire was built.
1t was while giving his attention to one
of these pots he lost his balance and fell
backward into the other.
The man was lifted from the pot and
carried into his residence, where every
effort was made to prevent the dissolu-

ERNoR TERRELL.

Hon. j. W. Lindsay will file his appH-
cation for reappointment as pension COM
missioner with Governor j. M. Terrell
next week, and accompanying the appli-
cation will be numerous strong endorse
ments. The term of Mr.. Lindsay ex-
pires on December 18th, but as the APP

does not have to be confirmed by the sem
ate, Governor Terrell says he will not
name Mr.. Lindsay's successor until after
the session of the general assembly.
There are several other applicants for
the position, but Governor Terrell has not
given the matter any consideration yet.
Col T. W. RevilI. of Greenville, formerly
secretary of the executive department

His friends are confident that he will be
reappointed by Governor Terrell.
