employer, the result of an attack made
upon her late on Saturday night by a

The woman, who is about thirty-fye
years of age, said that while on her way

she was accosted by man whom she
had noticed had followed her for some
distance She turned on the fellow and
told him to move along and not bother
her. Then, she say, the. man truck her
a heavy blow in the face with his fist;
she felt herself falling and grabbed her
assailant, and, as they fell down to-
gether, his knee struck her in the side.
The fellow then jumped up and ran away

UNIQUE MONT PELEE.

Prof. Heilprin, president of the Geo.
graphical Society of Philadelphia,
writes Mont Pelee down as unique
among volcanoes. The terrible devasta-
ton it wrought upon the island of Mar
Unique, and upon st. Pierre in partic-
ular, was by means hitherto I'M
known to science. 1t was not steam, or
lava or other ordinary volcanic matter
that destroyed the city and its entire
population, but an explosive gas. What
the nature of this gas was has not
been determined. Death resulted in the
case of probably a majority of the citi-
zens of St. Pierre from gaseous as
phyxiation No doubt in the greater
number of cases death was practically
instantaneous, unaccompanied by any
suffering. There was a rush of gas, an
explosion and the destruction of life
and property was widespread. There
may possibly have been some few per-
sons who escaped the initial shock of
the explosion, by reason of protection
afforded by masonry, but death by as
~
since the oxygen was removed from the
air by the unknown gas and the ex-
plosionS and then there followed a pc
Rod Of intense heat. Animal life could
not survive the conditions.
The opinion has been expressed by
other scientists that the explosion was
caused by superheated steam, general
ed by the infiltration of water from the
sea upon the molten mass under the
base of the mountain. Prof. Heilprin
does not hold that theory. All of his
Investigations, made on the mountain
itself and as near the craters as a hui
man being might approach, lead him to
the explosive gas theory His investi-
cations, however, he explains, had no
bearing upon the theory of molten
ball inside the earth's crust Whether
such exists remains to be determined
The secrets of nature hidden in the in
terror of the earth are still fast locked
from mans prying eye.
1t is somewhat reassuring to have
Prof. Heilprin's opinion that, for time
at least, Mont Pelee will be relatively
harmless, although continuing active.
A number of new craters were formed
by the great explosion. These will have
the effect Of providing a safety valve
through which the volcano will blow off
its surplus energy

PKopuCrIoN on PETRoLEuM.

One of the marvels of American i'm
dustrialism is the growth of petro-
leum production and consumption. II
petroleum and its products were sud
denly withdrawn from us the country
would suffer a calamity; yet fifty
years ago we knew very little about
petroleum and practically nothing
about it's products with which we are
now so familiar. AS a matter of fact,
it was not until the year 1859 that the
first lucky American Struck OIL in
the acceptance of the term that is
common these days. In that year, on
Aug. 2s. the first successful oil well
was sunk, in Venango county, Penn
sylvania. 1t was a small well, but a
good one, and the excitement that was
dom surpassed by subsequent oil
booms. From this little beginning
sprang the enormous business. repre-
senting hundreds of millions of dol
lars annually that we know to-day.
1t was not until 1881, however, that
the production of petroleum was
deemed of sufficient interest to war
rant the keeping of statistics respect
ing it. In that year there were pro-
duced a little more than 1000, 900 bar
rels, which sold at the wells at 50
cents per barrel Then the use of
kerosene as an illuminant sprang into
favor, and the price of oil steadily adj
vanced until in 1864 It reached the rec
ord figure of $7.S5 at the wells. 1t
was not until 1874, however, that the
production reached as much as 10000
600 barrels. Since then there has been
a steady increase until the production
last year, as shown by a bulletin of
the United States Geological Survey
just issued, was nearly 10000, 900 bar
rels, worth 100000 900 at the wells
The states producing the greatest
amounts of petroleum, in the order
named, are Ohio. West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, California, Indiana and
Texas. 1t is hardly likely, however,
that Texas will remain in sixth place,
provided her oil fields come up to the
expectations of their owners. 1t is in
teresting to note just here that in the
year 1901, in consequence of the strik-
ing OF oil in California, Colorado and
Texas, there were organized 1.57S oil
stock companies with a capitalization
of $669, OS9, 900.
Forty-five per cent. of the American
production of petroleum is shipped
abroad. From the volume of the pc
troleum business, the Geological Sur
vey's bulletin concludes the indications
to be that mo other artificial source
of light can replace petroleum in the
markets of the world"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says; "The Senate has set a
bad precedent in voting for the amend
ment to the general deficiency appro-
priation bill providing for the pay
ment of the deficits OF the Buffalo and
the Charleston Expositions. Govern
ment appropriations for expositions
before they are held are often enough
questionable, but appropriations for
expositions that have already closed
in financial failure cannot be justified
on any good principle. No wonder
those who voted for this amendment
insist that it is not to be a precedent,
though a precedent it undoubtedly is"
Writing of the Tilden Club dinner
and Mr.. Bryan's attack on Mr.. Cleve-
land, the Montgomery (Ala) Adver-
tiser (Dem.) says: I'VE say again
that it was no surprise that his COM
ments on the Tilden dinner took the
shape and language that they did. He
has shown so plainly that no one can
fail to understand him that he wants
no harmony unless it comes precisely
on the lines laid down by him. He
will not abate one jot or little. of his
views on finance or anything Else. He
tells Democrats that they can har-
monize and reorganize as much as
they please, but they must get on his
platform to do 1t or expect to feel his
wrath. We do not believe it possible
for the Democrats of the Union to
formulate a platform which would pla-
cate him unless IL embodied all the
essential features of the Kansas City
deliverance."

plains that there was. corruption and
misapplication in the distribution of
relief supplies in the Island of Marti-
nique. And politics, he says, had much
to do with 1t. 1t appears the popula-
ton of the island is politically divided
into two factions, the whites and the
blacks. The latter are far the more
numerous and the island is practical
ly under negro government. When the
relief supplies were received in the
island the black officials took charge
of them and OF the distribution. How
the distribution was made is thus de-

PoBAcco GHowING IN GEoRGIA.

In discussing the subject of diversi-
flying crops in this state not enough at
tention is being given to the growing
ago, when 1t was found that South
Carolina was making such a success of
tobacco, there was considerable talk of
adding the plant to our Georgia money
crops, but of late little has been heard
of the matter. That tobacco can be
grown in this state with success and
profit has been demonstrated in numer-
Gus instances. One of the best illus
trations that can be pointed to in evil
dence Of what Georgia soil will do in
tobacco is the largest tobacco planta-
ton in the world, in Decatur county.
On that plantation there are about 300
acres planted in fine wrapper tobacco,
Sumatra leaf, the whole being covered
over with a cloth shelter. Being grown
in the shade, the texture of the leaf is
fine and the flavor exquisite-equal to
any imported leaf. The market price
of this grade of tobacco is high, and the
demand always greater than the sup
ply. The owners of the Decatur coun-
ty plantation find their tobacco profit
able.
The growing of tobacco IN Georgia,
however, is no new idea. 1t has
been grown successfully in every part
of the state. In the region Of country
just west of Augusta, which was large
ly settled by Virginians, tobacco was
A. H. III, Of
the Civil War. 1t was also grown with
profit in Northern Georgia within TWEEN
ty-five years.
1t might be we'll for the State Expert
ment Station and the Agricultural De-
partment to give the growing of to-
bacco their especial attention and en-
courage the farmers to add 1t to their
crops. With cotton, corn, rice, oats,
sugar cane and tobacco as money crops
there is no reason why every season
should not be a good one. There are
no better and more thrifty farmers in
the world than are to be found in Geor-
gia. There are of course, some people
who think the Georgia farmers are be-
hind those of the North and West, but
those who are of that opinion have
never Travelled through the state and
seen it's farms and farmers. The Geor-
gians are using up-to-date implements
and have as clean and well cultivated
farms, and live in as good houses, as
the farmers of any state in the Union.
Wherever the soil and other con-
ditions will permit, the farmers should
be encouraged to plant tobacco.
