wall Paper and Smallpox.

The Paperhangers' union Is urging
the passage OF a law against covering
up old wall paper In repapering rooms.
II claims that the present epidemic Of
smallpox may be traced 20 this bad
custom. The union explicitly disavows
any self-interest. because. IL says. no
member of a union win scrape a wall.
The report does not say that while thus
urging. any tendency toward smiling
was rigidly extinguished or concealed.

inn with Cornelius, he stumbled against
a man who was coming down a little
side street towards it: with a muttered
apology. the man stepped aside, ap-
parently. without noticing him, went
on and entered the inn. But as he

OF MINNESOTA,
IS STRICKEN
DEATH CAME SUDDENLY MONDAY
NIGHT AT THE AUDITORIUM
IN CHICAGO FROM
HEART DISEASE.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.-Former United
States Senator Dwight NJ. Sabin. of Min
nesota, died suddenly early this morning
in his apartments at the Auditorium an

dying condition and beyond medical aid.
The patient remained conscious for up
ward of an hour and the end was peace
full.
Ex-senator Sabin was born at Manlius,

SEQ TO 100 pounds OF cotton. I have a lot
OF cottonseed. but prefer not to use them.
BY answering the above you win greatly

Answer: While green cottonseed is usu-
ally used In making up the formula, II

heap is completed. so managing the mix
ing as 70 use $50 pounds of acid phosphate

If a boy was not over fifteen years old
when he was captured by the Yankees he
went through with enough exposure to en-
danger his health for life You can read
of the money that is foolishly spent on
some big dog like the Green" mon
ument at Savannah and all other such
nonsense, and you see the working class
taxed to death to keep up such and not
"a word said to the contrary. But speak OF
the old worn out soldiers and their widows
getting pension and you hear big howl.

er went to school more than three months,
but 1 had to go to the war and fight for

as long as live. And If my wife lives to
see me buried, why then let her keep
drawing as long as she lives. All these
little fox" -eared lawyers that are MAX
ing so much fuss have come up since the
war and know nothing about the trials of
a soldier or a prisoners life. so I'say, let
them not be so burned" afraid that the
pensions will take all the money. 1 think
every man should be paid who went into
camp or was taken prisoner and God will
bless the governor of our state the day
he pays them their money and leave their
widows also to draw a pension. All know
that they won't be here on this earth ten
years longer, and much better let the
money go to them than to go dig up old
soldiers we know nothing about and spend
q bank on their monuments
If I live to see the day when all the
war-trodden men are honored with pen
sion, then 1 say, do as you please with
the surplus money that the state controls.

I'm Georgia. worked for the development
OF the sugar cane industry, is largely re-
sponsible for the introduction and pas
sage OF the recent measure The law was
a necessity. and had not the legislature
acted promptly the hard work Of the
south Georgia farmers I'm the production
OF pure cane syrup would have been Sc
riOusly handicapped.
Better Syrup for Consumers.
Hotels. boarding houses and private
families can now supply their tables with
a pure article OF Georgia cane syrup.
which heretofore they have largely en-
joyed I'm name only. The syrup goes from
the farm pure to the manufacturer but
there IL is reboiled and mixed with foreign
ingredients principally a cheap grade OF
glucose, and the public is then defrauded
or deluded into the purchase OF what they
believe to be pure Georgia cane syrup.
This is an imposition which viii no longer
be allowed.
The United States government has re-
Gently appropriated through the depart
ment OF agriculture at Washington $4,000
for the purpose of aiding the sugar cane
growers OF south Georgia to develop the
industry, both OF growing and manufac-
turing the juices into syrup by improved
methods. Capt. Purse tells me that since
the passage Of the bill referred to, he is
satisfied he can now get the appropria-
ton doubled. South Georgia has mag
nifcent future ahead OF her in the devel-
opment OF the sugar cane industry.
1t Will mean in a few years a great
source OF wealth to the farmers OF that
section. by the development Of splendid
trade for their product and the manufac-
ture OF sugar which will not only go to-
wards supplying the people OF Georgia
with that necessary article OF food, but
many other states beside. We have Won
derful resources. and all that is needed is
their development through a proper sys-
TEN and a full recognition OF their value.'
This law just passed Will be rigidly en-
forced. The growers of south Georgia in
the protection OF their industry and its
future development will see to Ii, that
present frauds perpetrated viii cease.
Farmers should be protected fully by the
strong arm OF the law, whenever their
products are being injured by unjust ma
nipuIations in the markets OF the country.
This Is not only true Of cane syrup, but all
other classes Of farm produce.

THIS DARBY WAS BORN
IN WASHINGT0N'S TIME

CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 2S-h his
statements be true, Chattanooga has the
most wonderful negro in the whole. coun-
ty Uncle William Mosely, who claims to
be one hundred and II years old. and who
says he once held General George
Washingtons horse, was found a few
days ago living in tumble-down house
in what is known as Posey Row. He lives
on the charity of the good people Of the
city and when found he was seeking char
ity of the county poor commission.
Even at his advanced age, which he
shows by the deep wrinkles In his face
and on his hands, Uncle William is hale
and hearty, sees without glasses. He has
good appetite and is able to walk around
with the aid of a walking stick. He is a
unique character, and is most positive in
his denunciations of the modern negro,
whom he proclajms to be miserable
FOOL
William was born near Decatur, Ala,
December a. 1880. His original name was
William Minor, which he held till about
the war. He has a clear memory, good
hearing, very good eye-sight and splen-
did appetite. He walks around without
a stick and makes his living by small
jobs, though just at present he is in des-
titute circumstances.
When he was u years old he was tax
en- by his master, a Mr.. Minor, to Char
lOllcSNlncs Nd
Here it was that he says he held Gen.
eral George Washington's horse while the
general was transacting some business
with his master.
Uncle William says that he received a
dollar for his trouble. He relates many i'm
cidents of hearing George Washington
make public speeches, describes what kind
of clothing he was accustomed to wear and
many other little things that pertain to
Washington's life
At the age of 16 william was carried
back to Alabama. He was married three
times in that state and was the father of
q children, seeing all three wives and all
his children sold to outsiders and from
whom he never afterward heard anything.
William was himself sold when about AZ
years of age to a Mr.. Mosely and married
a fourth wife, by whom he had six chill
dren. This wife died and he married his
fifth wife, to whom eight children were
born, making the old man the father Of
Al children.
When the civil war broke out he was
too old to enlist, but was detailed as
teamster under the command of General
Thomas He was wounded in the leg at
Nashville, but on his recovery he entered
the service again as a teamster and re-
manned with the army until the war clos
ed, when he returned to live on a farm
near Stephenson, Ala. Five years ago he
moved with his family to Chattanooga.
A question was asked how many grand
children he had, and he said: ''De Lawd
only knows, fer don't"
His present wife does not know her
age, but has children that are gray-head-
ed.
