SEA ISLANDS IN CUBA.
Savannah Cotton Men Do Not Put
Much stock in 1t.

The reports of preparations for
growing sea island cotton in Cuba do
not impress the local cotton trade very
seriously. 1t is strange to them that
the adaptibility of Cuba's soil for the
cultivation of the finest of the staples
is just being discovered. There are
some reports that sea island cotton
has been grown there in the past, but
it certainly has not been in quantities
to make the output a market consider
alton.
1t is admitted, however, that if sea
island cotton can be grown in Cuba
there is a brighter future for the island
than her present resources indicates
she has. Increased products may eff
feet prices adversely, unless there is
a commensurate increase in consump-
tion but even at lower than present
prevailing prices it is said the Cubans
would find some profits in raising this
cotton.

himself with a paraphrase of what
Cohen had told Policeman Knox:
He came from Fernandina to kill
this woman, he did it and he was glad
of it."
1t took the jury just fifteen minutes
to bring in a verdict of guilty, and
Judge Barrow Immediately imposed
the sentence prescribed by the law. It
directed that on Sept. ;, in the inclo-
sure of the Jail of Chatham county and
in private, Cohen be hanged by the
neck until he is dead.
Coming out from the court room
into the sheriff's office a prisoner await
ing trial asked Cohen what had been
the result. The negro drew his finger
across his throat with suggestive
gesture and a choking croak. Then
he grinned and sat down.

AFTER THE BEEF TRUST.
Grand Jury viii Continue Investi-
CATION To-day.

At the session of the grand jury to
be held this afternoon the investigation
of the methods pursued by the meat
trust in doing business in Savannah
will be investigated and considered. To
this end half a dozen or more of the
best known retail butchers in the city
have been summoned to appear before
the grand jury.
Judge Barrow has expressed an
opinion that an indictment against the
trust and it's agents would lie Cor the
old common law offense of forestalling
and engrossing, which is incorporated
in the Georgia criminal code. 1t is
possible that indictments will be re-

FULFILLED ITS CONTRACTS.
Union station Co. Acted Literally
Toward the City, Says Acting May

Il do not know what sort of a con-
tract the county had with the Savan-
nah Union Station Company relative to
the bridge over the Ogeechee road"
said Acting Mayor Dixon yesterday,
but one thing is true; the company
certainly lived up to the letter Of its
contracts with the city. In some in
stances it even did more than it had
contracted TO do. making improve
ments and changes that cost il more
money than IL would have had 10
spend had il adhered strictly to the
contracts that il had entered into.
A bridge was erected over GWinnett
street by the company. in strict ac-
cordanfe with . contract IL had with
the city. There was some difficulty
about getting the steel a. first. and the
company asked 10 be permitted 10
erect temporary wooden structure.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-08-08

This permission asIaccorded, and the
wooden bridge went up. 1t did not re-
main long, however, for after brief
space the company removed it and
erected steel bridge in it's place. The
city dealt with President Mackall and
l never knew a man more absolutely
fair and just"

Crows as weather Prophets.

The belief that two crows are a hap
Ply omen and that they appear to warn
men from disaster is very ancient
Alexander the Great was thus saved
in Egypt by two crows, and King
Alonzo would assuredly have persisted
in 1147 had it not been for two crows.
one of which perched on the Prov and
the other on the stern of his ship, so
pointing the PROV of the royal barge
safely into port. Crows and rocks are
very much alike. 1t is said that when
rocks desert a rookery it forebodes the
downfall of the family on whose prop
erty it is.
They are also credited with being
good weather prognosticators. When
the weather is about to be very bad,
they stay as near home as possible,
but when they foreknow that it will
be set fair they start off in the morn
ing right away to a distance where
they have an instinct that the food
they need is plentiful. Again, if the
rocks are seen venturing into the
streets Of a town or village it is sure
sign of an approaching snowstorm.-

Crfspi's Narrow Escape.

The Courier DIES Etats Unis says
that on Jan. IA, 1853 the late Frances
co Crispi. the great italian statesman,
then a political refugee in Paris, re-
ceiyed from an italian friend connect
cd with the Paris opera two gallery
tickets for the performance Of that
evening which the emperor and en-
press were expected to attend. Crispi
and his wife were on the point of start
ing for the theater when the latter ex-
claimed, Francesca, where shall we
get candlcY
They were in such restitution that
they had neither candles nor matches
nor yet the whcrewithal to buy them.
Going to the opera would involve CROP
ing for their room at midnight and go.
ing to bed in total darkness. Too proud
to confess their condition and to Dor
row few sous, they regretfully denied
themselves the promised treat, remain
ed in their room and retired before the
twilight had faded.
On the following morning they learn.
ed of Orsini's attack on the emperor,
the police raids and the arrest of all
Italian revOlutionistS found in or near
the theater. If Crispi had been in the
house, he would certainly have been
among the first arrested, for he was
known as an ardent disciple of MaZZini

Snails.

The popularity Of the snail as an ar
ticle of food is not confined to Paris,
but extends throughout southern Eu-
rope and some parts Of Africa Dr.
Edrard, q French writer in Il pam
phlet says that 10000 pounds OF snails
are sent daily to Paris from the gar
dens of Poitou, Burgundy, Champagne
and Provence. Those reared in gar
dens are fed on aromatic herbs to i'm
prove their flavor Their market price
is from 2 francs so centimes to francs
80 centimes a hundred, While those
from the hedges, woods and forests
bring only 2 francs to 2 francs so
centimes. The proprietor Of one snail
cry il the vicinity of DIXON nets over
1000 francs annually.
The snail is reared and fattened with
great care in some cantons Of Swift
Zerland as an article of luxury and is
exported in picked state. 1t is also
eaten as a relish and nutritious article
of food in Austria, Spain, Italy and in
some sections Of the United States.
The Ashantees and other African
tribes smoke them and eat them as
daily food all the year around In
Algeria in the markets large heaps of
snails are sold by the bushel and the
hundred as an article of food. Vendors
hawk them in the streets of Cairo. In
modern Rome fresh gathered snails
are hawked by women from door to
door

Centuries In Building.

Persons who are disposed to grumble
at the length Of time required to finish
public buildings should take heart
from the example of the Cathedral Of
st. Peter, in Cologne. That structure
was 632 years in building. 1t was be-
gun in 1913 and was pronounced COM
pleted in 1880. The great Cathedral
of Milan was begun in 1886 and was
not completed until 1905, 40 years lat
err Rostermel castle, in Cornwall, took
ninety years to build, and one-third
of that time was employed in eXcavat-
ing for the foundation. The late Lord
Butte was engaged for over twenty
years in building his great palace in
the isle of Butte, and his successor is
still at work on it. The palace of the
Dukes Of Atholl, in Scotland, has been
building since 1880, and the work is
still going on. In the cases Of the 9TH
er buildings mentioned, however, the
money for their construction did not
come entirely out of the pockets Of the
taxpayers, which, after all, makes a
considerable difference as to the mat
ter of looking at it.

ARE YOU ADVANCING?
A Timely Elaboration to the Butter
Makers by One of Them.

Makers by One of Them.
During visit to several poorly
managed creameries one may notice
poorly kept and untidy yards about the
factory, moldy walls, dirty milk and
cream watts, greasy floors, piles of old,
wornout tools, waste tin cans. ETC.,
leaky joints, badly running machinery,
untidy butter maker and things gone
wrong in general. Then. what relief
it is to visit few well managed, up
demonstrates the superiority of the
workman in charge. Clean, well kept
lawns and driveways around the
creamery, neatly painted walls, inside
and out, machinery running smoothly,
tidy, wideawake operator and every
thing denoting that a man is at the
helm of the institution who takes pride
in his work. The time butter maker
consumes fixing up and decorating in
side and outside Of the creamery is
we'll spent, and the man who is oper-
ating a creamery and who will not at
tend to these little matters has missed
his calling and may miss his job some
morning. The butter maker who does
the best he CANAL that is expected of
any one--will reap his reward some
day, and he will not have to wait until
the day of the millennium either. Let
a butter maker fit himself for the best
creamery in the country, and he will
not be compelled to look for job ev-
cry few months.
Brother butter maker, which class
are YOU to be enrolled in? You know
better than any one else whether you
art a good butter maker or a poor one.
If you are not absolutely positive to
which division you belong, just ask
yourself this question: "Am [ satisfied
with my present conditions and envi-
ronments?" If you answer this inquiry
in the affirmative, you may rest as
sured that if you are not now one of
the ''has beens' you will be in the
course of very few months unless
you mend your ways. Methods used in
buttermaking are continually chang
ing for the better, and the butter maker
who does not make the business con-
slant study, with Improvement as his
aim, will subsequently find himself
where he will not have to go away
back to sit down. He will already be
there. Just as soon as a butter
maker becomes satisfied that he
cannot learn any more about the
business just SO soon does he be-
gin to degenerate as q skillful crafts
man. Don't be a satisfied butter maker
whatever you do. Satisfaction is ia.
tai disease. The boys who are making
a success of the butter making business
are the ones who look upon past &C
quirements and present conditions as
only the legitimate outcome Of an hon
est effort on their part and instead Of
folding their hands in contentment
make more extensive plans for the fu-
ture.
We as creamerymen need to better
appreciate the fact that we cannot re-
main at standstill as regards the con-
ditiOn of our factories and our skill in
the work. It is an unbroken law of ma
ture that everything animate and in
animate. is continually wearing away
or building up. Conditions are con-
stantly changing. e. K. Slater In
Creamery Journal.

Largest Silo.

The largest silo ever built stands on
the McGough farm, near AZtalan.
Wis. 1t is sixty-three feet inside
diameter, with q concrete foundation
extending four feet above the ground,
on which massive concrete walls rise
perpendicularly for sixty feet, the en-
tire depth being eighty feet. It is esti-
mated that it will hold the hashed
corn from 400 acres, though it has
never been entirely filed. The crop of.
corn from 163 acres is the most that
has ever been put into this large cylin-
der.
Cheap Sflo Satisfactory.
At the Colorado experiment station
a very cheap silo was constructed and
filled with corn fodder. When this
was opened and fed out in December,f
1t was found that the loss was abouti3|
per cent. The most expensive / silOs
could not have preserved the fcorn, in]
better condition or at smaller. loss. -
