Many leading people we're converted,
and the Methodist church was built up
in all that section.
This was but one Of many such
scenes.
There are a few of the old camp
meetings held yet, and it is a benedic-
ton still to visit one.
Despite the acts of demonism which
have disgraced our state since the
war, and the fact that our state press
has seemed anxious to tell of these
burnings, and hangings, and riots,
there never was a more mistaken idea
of the moral character of the Georgia
people than that which generally OBJ
tains out of Georgia.
There was to be found before the war
in no part of the world outside of Scot
land, a people more uniformly relig-
ious and moral than those in the rural
slave-holding sections of Georgia, and
the prevalence of the campmeetings
had much to do with it,
The Baptists and Methodists had
noisy meetings. The Presbyterian
meeting was very solemn. A Method

Mr. Jones is a solemn gentleman with
a pessimistic view of life in general and
his neighbors' actions in particular. He
looks sad In a pleased sort of way as
he speaks to lis wife across the break
fast table.
Mr. Jones-'Tt is really too bad how
that young Ferguson is going on. only
married a few months, and his wife Is
such a nice girl. Poor little woman"
Mrs. Jones Cwith eager interest)-"What
has he been doing? I have always had
my suspicious of him, but Of course
have said nothing"
Mr.. Jones attacking his omelet)-''Why,
when 1 went down last night to the board
meeting Ferguson was on the same train
and alone. He was beaming in the most
undignified way, like a schoolboy out on
a lark When / came home I passed
one of the theatres just as 1t let out,
and caught a glimpse of Ferguson sailing
away with a stunningly dressed woman
most devoted, too. They were on their
way to supper, for I watched them turn
into a. cafe
Mrs. Jones (ecsaatically)-"The wretch!
And ]. suppose poor Carla was sitting
patiently at home waiting for him. or
else crying her eyes out! It's disgrace
full! I'll wager she wishes now she had
married Mr. Raymond instead, even If
he is old enough to be her father!"

brave about ii. Poor thing; goes out just
the same and never once drops her pref
ty smile. He is infatuated with another
woman-takes her to theatres and wine
suppers and is out every evening in the
week. Mrs. Jones knows all about it and
she says Carla bitterly regrets her mis-
take in not taking that nice Mr.. Ray
mond instead. OF course he is dull, but
then he would not have neglected her.
Oh, these young men!

Mahmoud Pasha was a progressive Turk OF
the new school. He sent TO st. Petersburg
on g. special mission. where, owing TO his good
manners and childlike righteousness he soon
became popular in diplomatic circles. He caught
eagerly at new ideas and was always discussing
the possibility of introducing reform into
Turkey.
one day the Turk was at luncheon at the
quarters Of a Russian officer named BirnedOn.
The conversation had turned on the splendid
discipline to be found in every branch OF the
Russian service. Birnedoff suddenly rang a bell

sold as high as fifteen hundred and two
thousand dollars and they were carefully
looked after as to clothes, food doctors
and medicine.
There were good doctors employed, be-
cause the risk was great when poor doc
tors tried their hand on valuable servants
when the latter were sick.
And the early patrol system concerned
itself mainly to keep good order and not
injure such valuable property.
This patrol system is becoming very
necessary in these latter days.
Every legal restriction is liable to abuse
and a patrol law should be carefully
drawn to prevent abuse or injustice; but
the land swarms with idle Migrants. who
should either be made to work or to go
elsewhere.

This patrol system was a Uniform Gus
tom and endured nearly as long as the ih-
stitution OF slavery lasted.
Mr.. Sam butcher, well known to GeOr-
gians, has written very interesting ar
dele on this subject for the readers of
The New York Brooklyn Eagle. He has
been an Investigator of facts pertaining

time and his Investigations have the
sparkle of genius as we'll as the solid ele-
ments OF truth.
The legislation on this patrol system
covers more than a century. The first
act pears GATE OF lfbo. ana was passed Dy
the provincial assembly when Georgia was
a kings colony. 1t was called an act for
establishing and regulating patrols. and
furnishes the basis on which all subse-
quent legislation on the subject was mod
eled. The parishes were laid of in militia
districts. each district being such an area
as could furnish one. hundred arms-bear-
ing men. The captain sub-divided his ter
ritory into patrol divisions. and could de-
tail ten men. whose duty it was to pa
trol their division one night in fourteen
at least. and see that no slave was away

between the Illinois Trust and Savings

TO MAKE CRUDE SPIRITS.
Cereal Sugar Company Has Discov
cred a New Process.

Peoria, H.. Jan. 24.-The Cereal Sugar
Company of Peoria has, thru an old
German vinegar maker. discovered a
process whereby one gallon of hydrol, a
by-product in the refining of sugar, can
be made to yield one gallon of excellent
crude spirits and about three gallons of
good vinegar. The discovery has caused
a great deal of interest among the glu-
cose and distlllery people. The COM
mercial value of hydrol is cents a gal
Ion. One gallon of crude spirits is
worth $1.32 en- the market There Is a
tax of S1.10 a gallon on it and the cost
of producing it is about cents gal
Ion, leaving a profit of 10 cents gallon,
as against profit of Z cents on the ny
drol From these figures alone the i'm
portance OF the discovery can be Judged.
The Cereal Sugar Company will put in a
still and secure patents covering the
discovery and begin the manufacture OF
crude spirits at once.

A BOOM IN LUMBER.
Many Interests Buying White Pine
Famine Grows Worse,

IdUltUe STOWS SvOFSGs
Minneapolis, Mimi. Jan. 24.-Activ-
ity in white pine lumber for the third
week In January is the most pro-
nounced ever known in this market,
The invasion of retailers last week in
attendance at the northwestern con-
yention resulted in many dealers being
better informed as to the actual con-
dition of stocks. These retailers
bought much more literally than US
uai for immediate shipment, and az
soon as they had returned home in
formed friends in the trade as to what
they had learned, with the result that
movemnt to retail dealers is developing
larger proportions than usual at this
season of the year.
In addition, railroads who are In the
market for much white pine lumber
for new stations, right of way i'm
provements. such as bridges, culverts,
fences, and for use in the repair And
equipment of rolling stock, have dis
covered that tendency is upward and
are placing heavy orders. anticipating
that it will be impossible to secure
such stocks as they require month or
two later. Sash and door men, box
and package manufacturers and con-
sumers of heavy quantities of white
pine have also taken the cue that the
famine is growing worse, and that If
they want to secure lumber for cur
rent requirements they must pur-
chase now.
All of these conditions. together
with greatly reduced stocks, have In
creased the famine In desirable speci-
fications, and it is no longer ques-
ton of price, but of being able to get
what is wanted. The price situation
has necessarily firmed up. A number
of manufacturers are refusing to ac-
cept orders for future delivery, feel
ing that 1t will be impossible to make
these deliveries, while considerable
pressure is being exerted to put in lef-
feet an immediate advance. 1t is be-
lieved that an advance has already
been scheduled to occur about the
middle of February, but there are
many in the trade who would like to
see it go into effect next week.
Shortages are increasing rapidly.

lumber can not be obtained from a
large percentage of the manufactur-
ers now, and by the end of the month
there will be many more manufactur-
ers who can not accept orders for
these goods.
Present conditions are unprece-
denied at this season of the year and
grow out of the excessive demand ex-
perienced during 1901. Figures at
hand show that the movement of
white pine last year increased is per
cent over the preceding year, and this
increased movement in Minnesota and
Wisconsin aggregated nearly 100000
600 feet of lumber. the total shipments
being $500. 100000 feet. Logging has
suffered the past three weeks thru
mild weather. and this is exerting an
influence on the market, altho it is
somewhat lost sight of in conditions
which are more immediate and which
have more direct results.
