GRIGGS TO OPEN CAMPAIGN.
Chairman of COMMITTEE Opens
Headquarters in Chicago.

A Washington special to the Allan
to Journal says: Judge Griggs OF
Georgia, chairman of the democratic
congressional committee, left a few
days ago for New York, where he will
meet Ben T. Gable, chairman of the
executive committee, on the latter's
return, for Europe.
"'Our campaign will commence at
once said Judge Griggs, and the is-
sue will be tariff-nurtured trusts. The
publicans cannot satisfy the people
by having their president tour the
country talking against the trusts.
They have sinued away their day of
grace by refusing to consider trust
legislation when they had ample OPP
portunity and when every democrat in
congress would have joined them.
The headquarters of the committee
will be opened at once in Chicago.
Judge Griggs will go to Chicago next
week and will remain there some time
aiding Mr.. Cable in organizing the
work.

A MARRIAGE BY PROXY.
Bride and Groom Two Thousand
Miles Apart.

Among the passengers who arrived
on the Philadelphia, of the Red D
line few days ago from Curacao, Por-
to Rico and South American ports,
was Mrs. o. S. Oranjo de Lieder, who
came to JOIN her husband in New
York.
Mrs. Leider was married June %,

Der of one of the most important fami-
lies at that little Dutch island, and al
though it seems proxy weddings ar
not rare thereInearly every one of any
consequence on the island witnessed
the ceremony.
Mr.. Leider, who is in business in
New York, is native of Curacao,
where he and Mrs. Aranio became en-
gagged. A short time ago he wrote
her that he was ready to make her his
wife, and asked her to come north to
meet him, but she was unwilling 10
make the voyage alone, and besides,
she wished to be married after the
custom of her island. So a proxy cere-
mony was agreed upon. Louis o. Ne
gron stood in the place of the absent
groom, and the knot was tied securely,
although the groom was 1000 miles
away. Mr.. NegrOn, who is the brides
brother-in-law, accompanied Mrs. Lei.
der to New York He is unmarried,
but has represented five grooms at as
many proxy weddings, SO the interest
ing ceremony was 20 novelty to him.
After the civil ceremony the church
rites were sOlemniZed.

INDIGNATION SOON PETERED
Anti-Anarchist Bills in Congress

When congress assembled last De-
cember it seemed as If very consider
able proportion of the members had IN
their pockets bills for the suppression
of anarchy and the protection OF tne
president. The flies of both house ana
senate were loaded with anti-anarcnlst
bills. The members were all lnolg'

the Oppressed, should become natcn-

viper, and they made it known that no
such thing would be permitted to go
on. by the enternal For time things
began TO look shaky for the reds. but
the righteous Indignation OF the con-
gressmen soon petered out. Congress
has adjourned, and there IS no more
an anti-anarchist law on toe statute
books than there was before it assem-
bled. And yet we refer to the french

HEAT KILLING TREES.
Excessively High Temperature
Doing Much Damage.

Excessively high temperatures have
been recorded over the cotton belt
section by the weather bureau the
past few days, and predictions proph-
esy no immediate relief from the heat,
with the exception of the development
of local thunder storms in some Sec
tions. The scattered showers which
have occurred in portions of Georgia
and South Carolina have occasioned
some relief.
Few serious prostrations from heat
have been reported in Georgia, al
though there is much suffering by
both man and beast. In some sections
the water. courses are running low,
and wells are going dry. Trees are re-
ported TO be dying over the state from
the hot, dry weather.
Crops are being greatly damaged by
the drought, and in many counties the
corn crop is reported to be cut of at
least one-half. Cotton has also been
damaged considera bly,, and reports from
the farms ara discouragiDg.

TO NAME 700 DELEGATES.
Governor Will issue Commissions
to GeOrgians.

Governor Gambler has before him
the task of naming some ZOO delegates
from Georgia counties to the annual
convention of the Farmers National
Congress, which meets in Macon Octo'
Der Z to 10, inclusive. Each state is
entitled to as many delegates as it has
representatives in both houses oil con-
gress, and, besides, as many associate
delegates as may be desired.
Hon. Harvie Jordan of Jasper is
vice president of the congress, and is
interesting himself in securing names
of persons, principally farmers in each
of the counties, which will be SUBMIT
ed to the governor for his eOnsidera-
ton in making the appointments.
Governor Gambler announces that he
will appoint about FIVE associate del
egates from each county. In order to
secure the names of those who would
be interested in the congress he has
written to the ordinary of each county
asking him to send list of five prom
lpent farmers who would be likely to
attend the convention. and it is likely
his appointments will be made up
largely from these lists, many of which
have already been received.
The governor has had prepared a
regular printed commission which will
bear his signature and the executive
office, and these will be issued to the
delegates named. 1t is expected the
convention will be one of the largest
and most interesting that has assem-
hled IN the south in some time.

TRAMPs PRESSED INTO WORK
Guarded by Women, They Are
Forced to Work in Kansas.

Tramps are being pressed into SER
vice as harvesters in this section of
Kansas, says a Wichita dispatch.
Fifty or more we're captured by farm
ers near Pratt, and all day long they
were forced to run binders and carry
bundles by armed guards,
The strange part of the proceeding
was that the guards were women. The
deficiency of farm hands in Pratt coun-
ty alone is 1000, while the state is
short 10000 men.
David w. Blaine, the harvest hand
importer, had arranged for all the men
for Pratt county, The men, however,
were captured by farmers along the
line.
A freight train westward bound was
wrecked near Pratt. There were fifty
or sixty tramps on it going to ColOra'
do. The farmers beard of it and they
tried to employ them at 81 per day.
Very few of them were willing to work,
so with shotgun persuasion they were
distributed an olg the farmers.
David Blaine telephoned from Pratt
that the tramps would be forced to re.
main at work for ten days at least.

LEFT A LARGE FORTUNE.
A Sumter County Fugitive Dies
in South Dakota.

A few days ago the papers noted the
fact that Adjutant-G eneral Robertson
Of Georgia had received a letter from
William Ashley of South Dakota stat
ing that Charles Hilllhad recently
died there leaving an estate of the
value of $4,000, and that it was be.
lieved that his heirs lived in Georgia.
General Robertson believes that he
has located two of the relatives of the
deceased-one an aunt VINO resides
in Albany and the other daughter.
Miss Lila Clyde Hill, of Atlanta, who
is employed in an overall factory in
that city. Miss Hill has called upon
General Robertson and the aunt of the
deceased has written that she will be
in Atlanta in few DAYS.
Miss Hill saws that nine months af-
ter she was born her father killed a
man near Americas, and that he had
to leave the state to prevent being ar
rested and prosecuted for the crime,
and that three weeks after he left her
mother died. Since growing up she
has been unable to locate her father.
only to learn that after leaving Geor-
gia he went to Australia.

FLANAGAN'S BODY is STILL ON EARTH.
Remains the Museum of Atlanta Med
cal College. Whiskers of the Criminal Prorude from His
Face as They Did When He Was Living

rather surprised to find him minus his
hair, but it is said that they recOg-
nized him Immediately by his whis-
kers.
Flanagan's case was q puzzle to the
doctors. After the killing, which
stirred the whole state, Flanagan was
tried several times for his life, and
when he died he was soon to undergo
trial for insanity. For days and
days Flanagan went without speaking,
without recognizing anyone, and some
times would not eat. Then one day he
said he had been playing insane Just
for the fun of the thing, and was tired
of the deceit. 1t was then that the
officers really believed that he was in
sane. Soon afterward Flanagan at
tempted to escape from Jail by hitting
the jailer with AN iron crowbar. He
was assisted in his attempt by several
other prisoners, but fortunately for
the jailer he had pistol along and
shot Flanagan in the hip. In his at
tempt to escape Flanagan made his
way into the Jail yard and seized the
little child Of Sheriff Talley and held
it in front of him. The sheriff thought
he intended to kill the child and shot
him.
Flanagan will probably be Kept for
years by the medical college authori-
ties. His body makes an interesting
study in its ossitied condition. Since
1t has become known that the body is
in possession of the authorities of the
school dime museum freaks may at
tempt to buy it, but it is said that the
officers of the college are SO much at
tached to Flanagan that they will de-
cline to part with what is left of him.

A QUEER INDUSTRY.
Raising Goats as Food for Lions
and Tigers.

A dispatch from Greensboro, N. c.,
saws: On a large farm OF sixteen hun
bred acres near this city John ).
Sparks, the owuer, conducts a queer
industry, that of raising Angora goats
as food for lions and tigers. The farm
ia mostly mountain land, and the two
hundred goats imported by Sparks
have been turned loose to clear the
mountain s;des of shrubbery and nox-
ious growth so that it can be turned
into pasture land for herbiverOus anil
mails. Lions, tigers, camels, ele'
pbants and other animals will Craze
on,this land. After the goats have
properly fitted the farm for this pur-
nose thew will be turned into food for
the beasts. Since the goats have been,
placed on the farm they have increas-
ed very fast, and shown such wonder
full industry in clearing land that the
owner expects excellent results IN his
breeding of wild animals. The young
kids are sold in large quantities for
food to the inhabitants of the neigh
borhood, and quite a revenue Is also
derived from the heece of the goats
which is long and as fine as SILK

Secretary Moody Shaking Up Dry Bones
in the Navy Department. Lobby
Has Been Ordered to Quit.

Democratic congressman who drop
into the headquarters of the democrat
ic committee in Washington contem-
plate making a general attack upon
the extravaganza OF the present adj
ministration. They declare that the
peoples money is being seuandered
for the personal enjoyment and enter
tainment of those in power with s.
recklessness that far exceeds anything
that occurred during the Grant aud
Arthur administrations.
1t is said that there have been more
junketing trips all over the world for
favored public officials during the past
few years than was ever heard of be-
fore. IL has been the easiest kind of
task for high officials, and even minor
officers in the public service, to have
themselves ordered to make trips to
Europe on important public bust
ness"

terest of economy and the general
welfare of the service. Secretary
Moody has taken hand in several
much needed reforms in the navy de-
partment, but it is doubtful if he will
be able to carry out all of his good in
tentions in that direction.
He is making commeDGable effort
to root out some of the naval officers
who have managed to avoid sea service
for many years aud hang on to soft
berths in Washington. Secretary
Moody's experience in congress as
member of the committee on appropri-
atoms has given him an excellent OPP
portunity TO learn something of the in
side workings of the so-called "Official
set" at the national capitol.
TO DISBAND NAVAL LOBBY.
One of the reforms which Secretary
Moody is anxious TO bring about is the
disbanding of the naval lobby" that
has existed for many years. 1t is uu-
derstood that every commissioned Off
GER in the navy is assessed a regular
amount annually to pay the expenses
of squad of naval officers, who man
age to be detailed for continuous SER
vice in Washington, to look after ma.
val legislation at the capital when
congress is in session. 1t has been de-
mOnstrated time and time again that
members of congress seldom permit
themselves to be Influenced by the
class Of men who haunt the corridors
OF the capital day after day, button
holing senators and representatives in
behalf of certain matters OF Legislation.
Secretary Moody knows something of
this performance, and he has ordered
it to cease.

THE FARMS ALL RIGHT.
Statistics Show Both Growth
and Improvement.

The statistics of population of the
census of 1909 show that the cities are
growing faster than the rural dis
tricts. The statistics of agriculture
of the same census, now being pub
lished in bulletin form, show that
while the foregoing is true the farm
ing interests in all of the states. es-
pecially those of the south and west,
have had substantial growth and i'm
provement.
There were in Georgia upwards of
1000 more farms in 1900 than in 1890;
the acreage in farms had increased by
more than 100000. and the value of
farm property $40,0O0,O0O more. 1t is
especially noticeable that the value OF
farm machinery had practically been
doubled in the ten years between cen
snses, showing of course that the farm
ers of Georgia are employing the new
est and best machinery for their pur-
poses.
Georgia has now nearly quarter of
a million farms-a few more than the
state of Pennsylvania, though the lat
ter are valued higher; not because
they are more fertile, but because of
the greater population of Pennsylva-

Ruth Slack at Poplar Springs, near
Decatur, several years ago, who was

be crazy, who Daffied the physicians OF
Atlanta and several other cities, who
tried TO escape several times from Jail,
who confessed once that he had been

icine and Surgery, on Edgewood ave-

Atlanta Journal. His whiskers pro-
trude from his face as they did when
he was living, but he has no hair on
his head. He was scalped soon after
his death by physicians and his brain
sent to an expert in New York for ex-
animation, the doctors being anxious
to determine, if possible, if the man
was really insane.
Although Flanagan's body has been
at the medical college since his death
in the Jail in 1900 1t has never been
under the dissecting knife. 1t was
given treatment to preserve it and
was then placed in the museum as a
freak for young medical students to
