It Is said that the first coffee plant
In British Central Africa was taken
there from Kew by missionaries, and
that, though others have been intro
duced, the bulk of the coffee produced
has sprung from that one plant. Blan-
tyre coffee is the finest in the world,
and commands the highest price. The
export is gradually increasing, last sea-
sons output having been about 100
tons. 1t Is expected to be 10 to II per

Corn and Sorghum Crops,

While various crops are grown as
catch crops in seasons when other food
crops are short, it Is generally consid-
cred that corn or sorghum or both are
the most satisfactory. Both the ordi.
nary field corn and sweet corn are sure
crops, as rule, for the seed may be
sown even as late as this date and fur
nish much good feed before frost even
in latitudes where 1t will not mature.
Farmers should especially look into the
merits Of sweet corn as a catch crop;
it develops more rapidly than field corn
and all stock are immensely fond of it,
particularly if they have been used to
field corn. Sorghum may be sown at
this time and will be found generally
satisfactory as a catch crop both In
the matter sir growth and in the result
ing crop. OF course if one Is more IA
miliar with the growing of rye, millet
or other grains as catch crops these will
answer very well, but, under ordinary
conditions, the chief reliance should
be placed on corn.

ENGINEERS CORPSE RECOVERED.
Enuiue Raised and the Body Floated to
the Surface.

GRIFFIN, March 1.-THE body OF
Allan Mathews, engineer on the III
fated train that was wrecked at Shoal
Or COUGHS creek, on the night OF
February %, was rescued today at /!
O'Clock, and the engine was about hall
hOisted at that time.
1t was found from his position that
he was at the throttle when the dis
aster came and had never left hic post.
The body came up as the engine was
turned from the right side, upon wnlch
it rested, and at once t1oated 10 the
top. 1t was then carried to car that
was being used as temporary head.
quarters and placed in the hands OF
undertakers from Columbus, who pre-
pared the body for shipment to that
city this afternoon.
kilograms were at once sent to rela-
tiyeg at ThomastOn and other places,
stating that the body had been at last
recovered, and the officials OF the road
were also notified.
The body was hid from the sight OF
the curious by sheets that the under
takers had thrown over him as he was
borne on a stretcher to the bier that
had been prepared on box car to re-
ceive him. The coffin and appurte-
nances had been on the ground for sew
eral DAYS awaiting this end of the
search. The body is not as badly de-
composed as it was cOniectnred to be,
and it is probable that it will not look
unnatural when prepared for burial.
The papers and other effects OF the
dead engineer were taken charge OF
and will be delivered to the proper
persons. Among the most distressed
at the wreck has been the son OF Mr..
Mathews, who has been at the scene
since IL few days afterward, and his
sorrowing patience has affected all
who have been almost in daily attend

THE NEED OF A PARK.

Among the several things that Da"'
son should, for several reasons, nave
is a public park. Few towns as large
as Dawson are without one, either
within the city limits or OF easy access
The real need for a PARK is readily
RECOGNIZED. 1t was in Dawson several
years ago, and for awhile a PARK ex-
listed on the lot where the Presby-
terrain church now stands. Later this
ground was purchased for the erection
of the church. That was Dawson S
first and last park, but its popularity
while il existed was evidence of what
a delight it was to those who passed
away many pleasant hours there.
Never has Dawson needed such
resort more than at present. TO say
nothing of the fact that parks are
lovers paradises, they are particular
ly needed for the salutary influence
on the morals of the youths OF the
town. This statement may appear 1ar-
fetched, but it isn't, by any means Ia
their spare moments these youths
have no disposition to make OF their
surplus time except to spend in aimless
wanderings on the streets. They spend
not only time, but money as well, for
their innate spirit reciprocation forces
them to ''treat' friends and acquaint-
orces and it must be confessed that
these treats are not invariably of light
drinks.
This may be and is doplorable, but
e. is natural. An idle mind, said some
philosopher, is the DEVILS delight
and BOYS will find some way in which
to while the time away, just as sure as
water will flow down grade. TO De
sure they might be at home, but they
will inform you that 'you can go home
when you can't go any where else,
and that ends the argument so far as
they are concerned.
There are acres upon acres OF land
near Dawson, and some within the
town. where the establishment OF a
park would be perfectly feasible, and
no citizen will dispute the very evil
dent need for one. Realization should
follow anticipation. We ought to
have park, and we can have park
They why not have it?
