The PEACH BLOSSOM.

Hon. Robert F. Wright, Assistant
Commissioner of Agriculture, thinks
that the peach blossom should be the
flower emblem of Georgia. Each state
of the Union is getting up a special
flower appropriate to itself. New
York, for instance, has the golden
rod. Now Georgia is being recognize
ed all over the world as the greatest
peach producing State in the country.
The peach blossom, in the mind of
Mr.. Wright, is the emblem of our
youngest and most promising indus
try. It is the guerdon of an adyanc-
ing interest, which has spread over
orchards of South Georgia and is cap
turing the fruit lands of the State.
There was time when a few scrubby
peaches raised on the farm, left over
from making pantry preserves, were
shipped to the still to come back in
the juice more or less royal and melt
ing. Now scores of acres are planted
in improved varieties, and the fruit is
carefully shipped in ears specially pre-
pared, to markets especially DESTROYS
of having the product.
So the peach blossom Is the pink
flag of a great crop. 1t is taking the
place of the cotton boil. 1t is one OF
the first signals of the breaking win
ter, ''when spring winds a merry horn
to call the flowers from their wintry
bed" It is the first flush of life when
the cold departs. It is absolutely
without odor, but in delicacy of color
it is the most beautiful thing in the
fowery belt of nature The peacE
blossum would be a good emblem fol-
Georgia, if it has not already beer
adopted by another State. Tt could
only be contestedby Delaware and Cali
fornia, for Georgia holds the peacl

She Took Our 1VTiilol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT IT.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY,
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
TO drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is a symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take a tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. H. Boyle, of Sc Chestnut
St., West Newton, Mass, says:
Last spring I used one bottle OF
Vino1. At that time I was all run
down and sick. I find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is a delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in a delicate table wine.
Vino1 acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ of
the body.
We endorse Vinol, and guaran-
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

1t is held by some that education
does not lessen crime; that it merely
changes the form of crime. This is
only another way of saying that the
world is not any better than 1t former
ly was, .and that universal, popular
education is a failure. The patriotic
American citizen can not surely be in
fluenced by such pessimism.

CHAPTER XIX.

| The people of Nilus were naturally
much interested in knowing the &C
tual value of the Colorado mine
which had been the exciting germ OF
such an elaborate conspiracy, but il
was sold to Frederick Merfyale for q
sum which was entirely acceptable to
the Wright family, but was never ac.
curately made public.
Of course the memory of the tragic
events herein set forth left its trace
upon all those connected with them
and Mrs. Wright, Miriam and Her.
bert decided upon an extensive trim
to Europe, where they hoped to blot
out the incidents of the CHASTITY
past. For many months terrible
strain had been upon them, and only
when all their trouble was over did
they realize how great it had been.
Amid peaceful scenes of the Old
World, and in quiet hooks unadver-
tised by the indefatigable tourist,
they passed an eventful year, and the
record of an unhappy past became
dim and unobtrusive.
Irving Warde in the meantime re-
NAMED in this country, and waited
confidently, but with some impa-
thence, for Miriam's return. The in
terval of absence was frightened by
regular letters, in which the won
ders of the Old World were not the
sole topic of consideration, but were
indeed rather overshadowed by the
wonders of love, which kept two dis
tant hearts us warm as summer DAYS,
1t was, from one point of view, an
unfruitful year for Warde, though he
made steady progress upward in his
profession; but he stifed as well as
ne could his selfish feelings, and
whenever he grew respondent he
took out Miriam's letters and
dreamed of the happy days to come.
And Miriam came back radiant with
what she had seen and experienced,
with bright eyes and Drowned. clear
cheeks, but unchanged in heart so
far as Warde was concerned, and it
was not long before she consented
to name the day for the marriage,
and that happy event followed in due
course of time.
Fenton drifted away to one of the
large cities. His work in the Wright
case had won him fame far beyond
his own state, and he was recognized
as bright man in police circles else
where; and so it was not long before
he was snapped up by superintend-
ent on the alert for good material,
and he became famous detective.
If anyone has some curiosity on the
subject, and will pass along Madison
street inspecting the signs of the
Nilus lawyers that swing out over
the sidewalk, he will find one that is
old and dingy, but still bearing the
faint lettering:

complete explanation OF the mys-
terry, Franklin had shot Wright
from behind, had perhaps in sort
Of murderous fury beaten him about
the head with his stick and had then
robbed him in order to create the
impression that robbery was the mo-
tive for the crime; then while hpg:-
rying away from the scene Of the
murder he himself had been knocked
in the head and robbed. The testi.
inntony showed that he had been In the
Bayou Woods with Wright, that he
had wound in his head, that his
watch and pin had been pawned, that
Wright had secured the cuff buttons
and the cuffs, that the pistol with
which the murder had been commit
ted was probably his and the ball
fitted It.
There was clearly no case against
Herbert Wright, and the prosecut-
ing attorney himself moved that he
be discharged from custody and that
the court order the arrest of James
Franklin on the charge Of murder
until his case could be Investigated
by the grand jury.
And 80 when Herbert Wright left
the court room with the congratula-
tions of his friends he passed by
Franklin, closely guarded by the
sheriff.
The trial of James Franklin took
place few weeks later and he was
found guilty Of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. March 2O.-The
joint scale committee OF operators and
miners has spent the time adopting those
provisions over which there is little or no
disagreement. leaving to the last the pro-
visions which the operators did not want TO
accept. The scale the miners submitted Is
IN large part duplicate OF the contract
for this year. The operators have said
they would agree to the 121s per cent. in
crease IN the pay of day labor. but the
miners ask that the minimum be fixed at
$202ls. This would not make the minimum
higher than IL Is IN nine cases out of ten,
but IL would increase the pay in mines
south Of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern Railroad. Several years ago, when
that district vas brought into the annual
scale agreement, the operators objected to
being put on the same basis as the oper-
ators north OF the railroad because they
sold In another market and one In which
they had TO. compete with coal from the
Kentucky fields, where organized labor
cuts no figure and where the operators
arbitrarily fix the cost Of production. The
Indiana miners agreed to q differential, but
now they ask that Ii be removed as to
day labor.
The miners ask for a reduction in the
charge for sharpening tools from IA per
cent. to 1 per cent. of the earnings This
work Is done by the company's blacksmith
and Is a source of considerable profit to the
operator. The operators say that inasmuch
as the miners got advance in the price
for mining at the Indianapolis conference
they should not ask for reduction IN
black srnffhiug.
