Atlanta Constitution: Louis B. Ma
gid of New York city, who for many
years has been interested in silk cul-
ture and the manufacture of silk, is
in Atlanta for the purpose of perfect
ing plans to lay the foundation for
silk culture on a large scale in this
state. Mr. Magid, who is a native Of
Germany and who has Travelled extern
sively in all the silk-producing coun-
tries of the world, has hit upon Geor-
gia as the section best adapted for
silk culture. He owns 1,50O acres OF
land in the vicinity of Tallulah Falls,
and it is on this land that he pro-
poses to make his initial experiments.
He proposes to divide the land up into
small farms of twenty-five acres each
and to have these farms titled by ex-
pert Italian farmers from the Pied
mont region of Italy, the principal
silk growing country of the world. He
will also erect small mill at the falls
for the manufacture of silk and viii
do everything to create an interest
in this important industry. Mr.. Magld
called on Gov Gambler yesterday and
was given every encoura cement in the
furtherance of his project He expects
to have his colony at work in short
time.

THINKS HE OWNS AUGUSTA.

Augusta Tribune: A few days ago
q man, apparently about 35 years of
age, with a small mustache and fairly
well dressed, walked into the office
of Chief of Police Norris and handed
him a letter and then walked out. The
chief was busy at the time and did
not read the letter for some half an
hour afterwards. He found the epistle
to be six closely written foolscap
pages 1t related to the monetary
troubles of the writer. He went on
to say that he, the writer, had inner
tied $3.50 900. 900 from some relatives.
The money, he said, had been expressed
to him, but some prominent Augusta
people stole it from him. With his
money, he went on to say. consid-
cradle amount of property had been
bought in Augusta, and he asked the
assistance of the chief in getting this
property. The letter was unsigned.
This morning when Chief Norris ar
rived at his office he found very
bulky letter awaiting him. He found
that the contents of the envelope was
the inventory of property claimed by
the mans other letter to have been
bought with the stolen money. The
list covered sixteen foolscap pageG and
included at least half the real estate
and establishments in the business
part of town. 1t is evident that the
young man, whoever he is, is labor
ing under a wild hallucination.
HOW LYNCHING WAS AVOIDED.
According to Deputies E. E. Norris
and c. NJ Swain, who came in to Ma
con from Warrenton with John Jesse
Maddox, a negro tramp, charged with
assault on the S-year-old daughter of
Farmer Frank Bacon of Warren coun-
ty Camak and Warrenton came pear
converting it's male citizenship into a
lynching party Friday night. The off,
GERS say that plans had been laid to
catch the train as it passed through
Camak, supposing that the negro was
to be taken to Augusta, but the Off
GERS took advantage of an unusual
meeting of the two trains between Ma
con and Augusta at Warrenton In
stead of at Camak, and the negro was
brought to Macon. The little girl
pointed out the negro to her mother
after the alleged crime, and the moth
er took a pistol and chased the negro
for a considerable distance, but could
not get within shooting range. Her
husband. however, got five shots at
him, one taking effect under the Shout
der blade. When the negro was on
the way to Macon he picked up his
banjo and sang as if nothing was
happening. He is said to have been
a tramp with no other work than
picking a banjo and singing.

Ireland Losing Her People.

There has been. in comparison with PIE
vi0us years, slight decline in both the
birth and marriage rates. while the
death rate shows an increase, which is.
doubtless. partially accounted for by the
fact that the reductions Of thepoDula-

MANY MINERS
OUT OF WORK
President Boycs of Federation
Says Situation Is Bad.
LAYS CONDITION TO TRUSTS
PROPERTIES CLOSED DOWN ALL
OVER THE WEST.

HUNDREDS OF MINERS are out
of work ali over the west because
of the Capitalization of capital,
according to Edward Boyce. president
of the Western Miners federation, who
arrived in the city yesterday. Mr.
Boyce is on his way home, after a
three months tour of his jurisdiction,
and Will remain here for a day to meet
his wife now on her way from visit
to her old home in Wallace, Ida. They
Will proceed to Denver together.
Mr.. Boyce has been visiting Mon
tana Idaho, British Columbia, WASH
ingtOn. Oregon, California, Arizona and
Nevada, looking into the condition OF
the different unions He returns with
rather a gloomy view Of the situation.
More miners are out Of work than
at any time before" he said yesterday.
ct is even worse than 1898. The rea-
son is the action of capital and the
formation of the trusts.
Montana is dull because of the clos
ing down of so many copper mines by
the trust There are idle men every
where In the Occur d Alenes there is
practically nothing doing. Only few
mines are in operation and they are
working small forces. In British Co
Iumbia practically all the mines have
closed down, and the few working have
small forces.
Scores Smelter Trust.
"This is largely due TO excessive
treatment charges by the Smelter
trust, although some Of the mines have
independent smelters. Washington.
Oregon and California are dull. There
is more activity around Phoenix than
anywhere else I have visited.
ION the whole, l can't say that the
prospects are encouraging, unless the
policy of the financial powers is
cha nged. They can improve conditions
if they want to. and maybe they will
conclude that they can make few
dollars in that way and accomplish it"
Mr.. Boyce said he found the unions
in good condition. Colorado is the
strongest in point of numbers, with
Montana next. Arizona is as well or
ganized as any, but there are not so
many miners in there as in some of
the states, so the numerical showing
is not so good. Utah has five unions
one each at Eureka, Bingham, Park
City, Murray and Sandy.
