Thomasville. Ga, Oct. 15-The hard
mess of the pecan tree has often been
commented on. 1t has been demon
strated on tree in the yard of T. C.
Mitchell in this city This tree was
struck in one large limb by lightning
the last summer. The lightning ran
down the limb and jumped to a small
house near by. The tree was full of
young nuts at the time. 1t was not
materially injured very unusual cir
cumstance. as lightning generally kills
any tree struck by it.
Another singular thing is the poor
quality of the nuts yielded this sea-
son. These are small, many are ILL

MANY BOOKS
PUBLIC LIBRARY WAS WELL PAT
RONIZED BY CITIZENS
LAST YEAR
FINANCES IN BETTER SHAPE
Board Has Paid Off GoodIy Portion
of Debt, and Has Managed
to buy a Few
Books.

The st. Paul public library was a
prominent factor in the dissemination Of
wholesale knowledge last year. To its
1,211 registered patrons it loaned 172,S55
books, not to speak of the thousands who
called personally and absorbed the lit
erary treats that its reading rooms and
reference department are supplied with.
The increase in volumes taken out over
last year was 10,945.
Out Of the niggardly allowance granted
by the city the library board in addition
to paying much of the heavy debt stand
ing against the building, managed to
purchase few books, about 42O0, and
this addition now brings the total num-
Der of volumes stacked on the shelves
to 54 $50. Because of old age and bad
handling by careless patrons, 955 volumes
had to be removed from circulation, but
this deficit was partially supplied by con-
tributors who donated nearly $50 new
volumes.
The tri1ing fine which the boards ex-
acts from every patron who keeps a book
longer than a stated period yielded a
considerable amount last year. For every
day over the stipulated. period, which is
TWO weeks, cents is extracted and from
this source was realized 1855.
AS constant patron of the average
public library, women are generally
heavily in the majority, but with the St.
Paul institution the sexes are about eVen-
ly divided. OF the II ,211 cards out, 2746
are in the possession of women, and 2350
are held by males. The male patrons of
the library, however, outnumber the
gentler sex in itsf5a8endance upon the
reading room and the reference depart
ment. Here the sterner sex is always to
be found in possession.
In the juvenile department an excellent
showing is made. Here books to the
number Of H,909 were given out. The
youngsters were also we'll represented
among those who patronized the reading
rooms.
Something new. added by the library
board last year was a book rack at
which patrons were allowed access and
permitted to handle the books stored on
its shelves. The innovation was SO pop-
ular that the board this year, if possible,
will increase it's capacity.

RATE is 7 Per CENT
JUDGE OTIS DECISION IN COUNTY
TAX REFUNDMENT CASE
is FILED
KANE's OPINION IS Upheld
LITIGATION Arose over National Bond
and Security COmpany's De-
nand for 10 Per Cent
Interest.

The legal rate Of interest to be paid
by the county in making refundments
on tax certificates found to be void is
and not 10 per cent.
Such is the effect of an order Of Judge
Otis yesterday directing findings for the
defendant in the mandamus suit of the
National Bond & Security Co., against
w. r Johnson, as county auditor. The
action was brought to compel the audi
tor to draw orders upon the county treas
urer for number of several amounts
due the National Bond & Security Co,
as return upon tax certificates which
had been bought by the company, and
had been found to be invalid by reason
Of some defect in the notice of the sale
at which they were purchased. There
was no question as to the county's liza
bility, in so far as the refundment was
concerned, but the auditor and the COM
pany differed as to the rate of interest.
Auditor Johnson, pursuant to an opln-
Ion given him by the county attorney
some few months ago, refused to pay
higher rate of interest than Z per cent.
and the company demanded 10 per cent
interest upon its money in accordance
with the custom which prevailed prior
to the issuance of the opinion above re-
ferred to.
Judge Otis upheld County Attorney
Kane's Interpretation Of the law.

CANDY MUST BEGOOD
TECT CHILDREN WHO ARE
TEMPTED TO BUY SWEETS
WILL WARN MANUFACTURERS
Must Not Send Impure Candies Into
MISUNDERSTANDING Matter in
Cheap Candy Dangerous
to Health.

The manufacturers of baking powder,
vinegar, liquor, lard, honey, jelly, jam.
paints, oils, and spices have all learned
that if they would Go a profitable bust
ness in Minnesota they must manufac-
ture only absolutely pure goods. They
have run up against the Dairy and Food
department and found that the pure food
laws of the state are very strict, and
they have found the severity of the de-
partment complemented with the good
will of the dealers and they have been
forced to send only pure goods into this
state.
Hereafter the manufacturer of candy
will have to change his ways if he has
been in the habit Of making candies not
pure in every respect. The Dairy and
Food department is going to make a
crusade against the sale of impure can
dies. The department has been conduct
ing a series of chemical experiments to
ascertain whether or not the coloring
matter used in candies is "deleteri0uS
to public health" or not. 1t has been de-
terYnined that in many cases the cheaper
grades of candies, sold to school children
at the grocery store and the corner con-
fectionery are not fit to be taken into
the human system.
There is an average daily consumption
of $500 pounds of candy by the school
children of St. Paul. At this ratio the
school children of Minnesota consume
daily about 10000 pounds of candy It
can readily be seen that if the candy sold
by dealers is injurious to public health
it would constitute a grave menace to
the entire state.
So the department, realizing the far
reaching effects of adulteration on candy,
is going to go hard after the dealers
who sell impure candy. Whenever candy
that is not pure, is found in store, the
department will notify the dealer that
he must not supply himself further with
the same grade of candy. The dealer
will notify the manufacturer that he does
not want any more of that kind of candy,
and the result will be that the manu-
facturer will be forced to send only good
candy to Minnesota.
So the little boys and girls who are
separated from their spare pennies by the
tempting stick of many colors will be
protected, and the fond parent will be
able to rest assured that when the
youngsters come home with the marks
of sweet meats on their mouths, they
are not in danger of fading away before
the insidious onslaught of disease hidden
in the seductive lemon drop and Hcorica
stick.

the election and demand recount.
Real Work Regins Now.
The city pulled itself together some
what yesterday and has about recovered
from the effects of the election. The can
didates, fully assured of the final results,
have settled down to face the problem
of the coming city campaign. Both sides
are indulging in brief breathing spell,
but the fight win begin in earnest imms-
diately. The Democrats are already
pretty thoroughly organized and in ex-
cellent shape to make a hot campaign.
The Republicans will effect a complete
organization within a few days and then
a hard, bitter five weeks campaign will
be on in earnest to continue without let
up until Tuesday, MAY g. when the gem
eral city election will take place.
The Democrats are in fighting trim in
every ward and precinct in the city, and
are full of confidence in the result. From
now on they will carry the battle into the
enemys country. Meetings will be neld
every night until election and in every
section of the city the faithful will be
fired with enthusiasm and hope.
The Republicans begin to perceive the
tremendous disadvantage they labor
under in having cast some 1000 votes less
in the primary election than did the
Democrats, and they are attempting to
comfort themselves by concocting wild,
weird tales to the effect that the Demo-
Gratis have been colonizing and doing all
manner Of vicious and unlawful things,
subverting the law and terrorizing whole
communities. All this talk is simply a
confession of desperation. and is react
ing on those who start it. If the Repub-
licans lacked that public enterprise and
local civic pride necessary to get out
their voting strength the Democrats are
not to blame for it.
Some misguided Republicans are now
trying to make it appear that there is a
breach in the ranks of Democracy and
declare that John Wagner is to oppose
Mayor Smith This is too absurd to be
worthy Of the dignity of a denial Mr.
Wagener is loyal Democrat and has al
ready declared that he will support the
Democratic ticket which has been NOM
mated. Mayor Smith John Wagner and
their friends will stand together in the
coming fight, confident of a Democratic
victory.
