How oftsn the Watch rIcka!I

Many watches make five beats
per second, 300 each minute, $4,000
every hour, or $4,000 per day.
Thus it will be seen that half doz-
en- turns of the key once day, talk
ing up but q few seconds of time,
stores up modicum of power in the
spring which is cut up into nearly a
million of beats. If we multiply
the daily beats by 36514, the num-
Der of days in o year, we find that
the watch ticks 15Y,788,000 while
the earth is making one annual trip
around the sun.

Sad Panic and Disaster.

Last Friday night a terrible loss
of life resulted in Birmingham, Ala
bama, from a stampede among about
1000 negroes who were attending the
Baptist Convention, which was held
in a large brick church. Some dis
turbance occurred and a cry Of fire
started. Instantly a wild rush was
made for the front door which opened
on a broad stairway running to the
ground fifteen feet. below. The
affrighted people piled owe each
other like sheep and over eighty per.
sons were suffocated and mashed to
death and about 100 injured.

During the past few days several
OF our rice planters have shipped and
sold rice in New Orleans, while
others have sold here to the buyers
who come after the rice, and in every
instance, the sales made here were
more profitable to the cultivator, and
more satisfactory. Less bad or IN
ferior or damaged rice Is found here
by the samplers than are found in
New Orleans, and the net result Of
the sales is from fifty cents to one
dollar more in favor OF the local
market. Those who have not yet
sold their rice should investigate .
little before they ship their rice % the
markets.. Martinville Messenger.

Insurance men of the South who
read the daily column of insurance
information in The Chicago Record
Herald keep pace with the times and
are prepared for all emergencies and
contingencies that have grown into the
insurance business. The column
"With Insurance Men, gives in
compact form all the latest happen
ings In the insurance world, and is
conceded by insurance men every
where to be the best and most up-to-
date report published by any paper
In the United States. The Record
Herald does not copy its news from
insurance journals, but secures it
first hand from managers, agents and
companies and by telegraph from its
own special correspondents, by tele-
phone and in special cable dispatches
from abroad. The New York service
of The Record erald's insurance de-
rartment is equaled by no other pa
per. In fact The Record Herald is
