A Horrible Death.-Mr. Frank Grit.
fifth, wellknown Howard county farmer,
died horrible death in a woods almost
within call Of his home, at Roxbury Mills.
Evidence that the accidental discharge OF

flames started by the shot consumed his
body were found.
The body was discovered on Friday at
noon. Mr.. Griffith left his home early on
Thursday morning of last week to go rabbit
hunting. The time at which he was ex-
pected to return passed and he did not ap.
pear, and late IN the evening his family, al
ready alarmed by his absence, were further
excited when the dog which had gone with
him in the morning crept in alone. About
O'Clock Friday morning a searching party
was organized, and after some hours the
dead body of the unfortunate man was dis.
covered in the woods a short distance from
his home. When the body was discovered
1t was burned to a crisp, all the clothing be.
ing burned away except that portion which
remained in the boots. The dead mans

watch were scattered in circle about him.

time after 1t, making vain attempts TO ex-

pointed to II, indicating the time at which
the fatal shot was discharged.
Justice A. A. Matthews summoned Jury

He sat with his legs crossed, idly
watching others in the car, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. In view of what fol-
lowed, it may be well to say right here
that he was perfectly sober and he
had that feeling of righteous superiori-
ty that comes to a man when he is
in the straight and narrow path and
happens to see someone who isn't. For
there was a man opposite him who was
decidedly the worse for the wear.
He looked at this man with plying
contempt Then he looked at others,
who were also looking at the man.
and his glance seemed to say: Isn't it
too bad?" Meanwhile he continued to
sit with his legs crossed, and one leg
went to sleep.
Now, when people see one man the
worse for what he has been imbibing,
they instinctively look for evidence of
a similar condition in others. And
when a fellows leg goes to sleep he
might almost as well be without one.
This righteous young man heard his
station called and got up in a hurry.
But he didn't stay up. That treacher-
Gus leg had passed beyond his control;
it had ideas of its own. and one of
them was that it wished to rest. The
young man dropped back into his seat
he1plessly-and someone snickered. The
young man looked about him indig-
nantly. Then he tried again, without
success. Several people snickered, and
the young man got very red.
1.-TWO of Them" someone remarked.
"They might help each other" sug-
gested another.
The young man had no time to lose.
With a valiant effort he got on his
feet and started down the aisle of the
car, but that whimsical leg would not
let him decide in advance where he
would put his foot down. He could
raise the foot, but when he tried to
put it down the knee joint had the
quick, spasmodic action of the blade
joint of a jackknife and the foot would
land considerably off the main travel
ed route.
The other passengers became hilarious
and several of them wondered audibly,
where he got it,
Once off the car, the young man
stamped his foot two or three times
and thus brought it back to compre-
hension of it's duties. He shook it, trot-
ted along the platform to show that
it was working all right, and then he
shook his fist at the people in the
vanishing car

The Reward of virtue.

pKoFEssoR HERTY,s PLAN.

There was a very slight falling off
in Savannah's receipts of naval stores
for the year which ended yesterday as
compared with her receipts for the
previous year. Her port advantages
are so great that it is probable that
her receipts will show but slight an
nual decrease for a number of years,
notwithstanding the fact that the tur-
pentine operators are steadily pushing
southwark after new turpentine terri
tory.
There is still very large
naval stores territory tributary
to Savannah, and it will last
for many years, yielding a prof.
table crop all the time, if the plan
for treating the pine tree recommended
by Prof. Herty is adopted. AS far
as we are informed that plan has been
investigated by naval stores operators
and factors and approved by them. The
thing to be done now is to introduce
it generally throughout the naval stores
region.
The rapidity with which the naval
stores producing forests are being cut
down justifies the conclusion that if
some of this timber is not saved for
naval stores purposes the production
of turpentine and rosin in this section
of the country win cease within a
comparatively few years.
AS we understand it, naval stores
farm on Prof. Herty's plan can be
made profitable for many years. In
deed the yield per tree is much greater
than it is under the present wasteful
method of gathering the crude product
The factors ought to take this mat
ter up at once and urge upon the
operators the necessity for adopting
this plan. No doubt some of the opera
tors have adopted it, but unless efforts
are made by those who are influential
in the trade the old method will be
adhered to simply because, as a rule,
it is difficult to bring about changes
that involve investigation and ex-
pense.
The Georgia pine tree is a much bet
ter producer than the Florida pine tree,
and therefore the effort should be made
to preserve pine forests for naval stores
purposes here in Georgia. A turpentine
farm could be made about as prOfita-
BILE as any other, all things considered
at least that is the impression gained
from statements put out by Prof. Her.

THE HOWELL SHUTDOWN.

About 1900 operatives are out of
work at Lowell on account of the shut
down of seven of the largest cotton
mills there. Advices indicate that the
trouble between the operatives and the
mill owners viii not be quickly set
tied. Although the majority of the
operatives concerned in this shutdown
are not members of unions. it seems
that the question of Thoroughly union
izing the mills is at the bottom of the
difficulty. The mill agents say that the
question as to whether the unions shall
control the mills or not win have to
be fought out, and that the mills are
ready to fight it out now.
If this is the true situation it is
probable that the shutdown will be a
long one, as both sides appear to be
determined. In that case there will I'M
doubtedly be much suffering among the
operatives. Some of them have the
means of living until the mills are re-
opened, and the unions will take care
of their members for time, but the
great majority of non-union workers
are doubtless practically penniless, and
will have to endure much suffering be-
fore they will be able to earn any
thing again.
1t seems that in these Lowell mills
there have been no great strikes with
in recent years. There have been
small affairs, but they did not settle
the question as to the power of the
unions in matters arising between the
operatives and min owners.
Doubtless the immediate cause of the
present trouble is wages. The opera
tives think that as there is so much
prosperity they should have a share
of 1t. Besides, it is probable that the
cost of living has advanced considera-
bly, since wages were last adjusted, and
that no doubt is made reason for ask
ing for an increase in pay.
Will there ever be found basis of
adjustment for labor troubles that will
eliminate the shutdown and the strike
from the industrial situation? There
has been a search for such basis these
many years and it has not been found
In statement to the New York
Herald day or so ago Senator Hanna,
in commenting on the outcome of the
anthracite coal strike, said: when the
principle of give and take comes to be
generally approved strikes will be very
rare and industrial peace generally will
prevail" 1t will be a good while proba-
bly, before that principle will adjust
labor differences.
Capital wants all it can get and so
does labor. Each is willing to concede
something, but generally that is not
enough to bridge the differences be-
tween them. Then comes the trial of
endurance. That is the way it has al
ways been, and it looks as If it would
be that way for a long time to come
