and added, pointing to some mules
standing in a lot near by Those
mules will bring from $130 to $3.50 each

DR.. HENRY GALLAGHER'S
NEW CAR COUPLER.
Savannah Inventor Gets Good Price
for His Work.

Cor His Work.
DR.. Henry Gallagher, of 106 Henry
street, east, has just completed nego-
tiations with the National Maleable
Casting Company of Cleveland. O., by
which he parts with all his rights and
claims in his most recent patent on
car couplers. DR.. Gallagher last night
said that he did not care to name the
price that had been paid by the Cleve-
land firm, but admitted that he had
held the rights at $4,000 and had re-
fused the offers of other companies be-
fore coming to terms.
The new coupler" said Dr. GaI1ag-
her, lis far ahead of any other l have
worked upon and 1 may say that l
have been at this problem ever since
1894, when / became interested after
reading of the bill before Congress TO
require all railroad cars equipped with
automatic couplers. The matter SEEM
ed to me very important, not only be-
cause it was evident that an immense
number of cars must be equipped but
also because the securing of a perfect
coupler would certainly mean the saw
ing of thousands of lives of railroad
brakemen. / went to work and
studied out the situation and the re-
suit OF my ufSt effort was what is
known as the Gallagher coupler, which
is now used on one or more railroads
entering this city. 1t was good in its
way and satisfactory as long as there
was nothing better; but I decided that
the coupler could be improved upon and
started in again to work. OF course 1
have done other things since then and
have secured number of patents, on
other inventions, but the improved
coupler was one of my chief studies
and I was most particular in making
the model"
DR.. Gallagher in explaining the new
coupler said that it combines all the
necessary features to make it
practical and perfect working appli-
ance. The trainmen operate it alb
solutely from the side of the cars.

ROBBED HIS EMPLOYER.

A. V. Diego, proprietor of the Wilma
bicycle shop, Tampa, is the victim of
a shrewd embezzlement, amounting to
$124.40 Diego had in his employ the
past year Oscar Reira. The clerk
would take the receipts of the shop
from time to time and deposit them
with the Ybor City Land and Improve
ment Company for safe keeping, re-
ceiving a certificate of deposit for the
amount Reira, on Saturday, took a
certificate for $1144O to the office of the
Ybor City Land and Improvement
Company, and received the cash for it.
1t is also stated by Diego that Reira,
on Feb. Is, obtained in the same man
ner, So making a total of $1244O that
he has thus obtained under false pre-
lenses. Police are looking for Reira,
who is said to have sailed for Cuba.

Owing to the absence of President d.

Trade the annual meeting was not
held yesterday. Capt. Purse is in
New York and as his report and pres
ence are features of the meeting the

Very little talk is heard about the

will be no opposition to either Capt
Purse, for president, or Capt. c. L..

served to the entire satisfaction of
members, and will in all liability
be reelected without opposition. AS

GainesyiIle's Sudden Tornado.

The terrific storm in Gainesville,
station on the Southern railroad fifty
three miles northeast Of Atlanta, came
with unparalleled suddenness, fury AMI
want of warning. 1t was upon its vic
tins before notice of its coming could
be given, although 1t occurred at
o'clock in the daytime. In moment
its destructive work had been accom-
plished, and in FIVE minutes the sun
was shining brightly upon one of the
saddest scenes this world ever wit
messed.
It was a sadder scene than battle
field, because the mills and other build
ings were full of children-little inno-
cents forced to toll, upon whom the
furies of the elements fell most pite-
ously. All through the long lists OF
dead and wounded appear the names Of
children and young girls
1t does not appear that the wrecked
cotton mill, three stories high of brick
construction, was fiimsily built. Its
walls were Of proper thickness, and
its roofs well put on, and yet all above
the ground floor was swept away. 1t
proves anew that no form of building
that man can erect is proof against the
American tornado. Brick buildings
we'll constructed went down as readily
as the flimsy cottage set on small pill
lars of brick work. So far as can be
gathered from the reports received no
building in the direct path withstood
the fury of the storm.
Governor Terrell appeals to the hui
mainly Of Georgia for aid. If more aid
is needed, Alabama should lend help
ing hand. Thus far Georgia, with nat
ural pride, seems inclined to care for
her own sufferers, and the call for help
may not be extended to her sister
states. If it is, it will meet with re-
Spouse in this district, where SO many
Georgians reside.

Cotton In Alabama.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
prints reports from every section of
this state, showing the condition of the
crop at the end of May. Athens reports
a maximum acreage, a good stand and
plenty Of labor. Jefferson, on the other
hand, says the stands are poor and dis
eased, and the fields are full of grass.
Fortunately, the county raises more
coal than cotton. Demopolis says the
acreage of its county has been de-
creased 10 per cent, and the stands are
poor. There are many complaints of
worms and lice. Greenville has an
average acreage, but the plant is very
small. Gadsden reports more acres by
IL per cent than were reported last
year, but termination has been un-
even and unfavorable. Huntsville re-
ports average conditions all round
Livingston has less cotton by per
cent, and a fair yield is expected. Com
missioner OF Agriculture Poole says the
reduction in acreage in the state is 5
per cent. Replanting mas been neces-
snry in many places, and the crops
nate, and the yield at the best will not
be heavy. Mobile reports an increase
in acreage, and a crop in the usual
condition. New Decatur reports a re-
duction of % per cent in the acreage,
and blue conditions in other respects.
opelika says the acreage is 10 per
cent larger than it was last year, but
the weed shows poor color. Selma
says the acreage is per cent greater,
with fairly good conditions. Tusca-
loosa reports an increased acreage,
and a favorable season. Troy thinks
the acreage has been increased 8 per
cent, and farmers are hopeful. Union
Springs says the acreage is larger, and
an increased crop through the free use
of fertilizers is expected.
All in all, 1t is safe to say the acre
age In the state has been increased at
least per cent-that conditions Of
termination and growth were at first
unfavorable-that they are now favor
able-that the outturn depends upon
weather conditions, as 1t always has
and ever will at this season of the
year. Despite all contrary reports the
crop is we'll started, and present con-
ditions in this state are favorable. No
one can say more out of knowledge and
In line with truth.

A DYING IDEA.

From the New York Times.
According to Congressman Hull or
Iowa, the idea which has been named
from the state he so creditably repre-
sents will practically be put to sleep in
the next Iowa republican convention. A
resolution, he says, has been agreed
upon, to be prepared. as to form, by that
eminent political embalmer, Senator AL
lison. 1t will approve Of revision when re-
vision shall become necessary, but it
will not say when that will be, and 1t
will avoid the offensive proposition,
which was In the platform last year, that
the high tariff aids and abets trusts.
This, we suppose, is the latest triumph
Of Mr.. Roosevelts diplomatic talent.
When we recall that less than year ago
he gave his cordial support to the policy
Of tariff revision, that he plainly de-
nounced the mixing of the tariff with
party politics and called for an impartial
commission of experts to sit in continue
GUS criticism of the rates and guide con-
gress In necessary changes. we are lost
in admiration for his capacity to bring
about compromises. especially compro-
misses with his own convictions. AS Henry
" of France thought Paris well worth
the saying of a mass, Mr.. Roosevelt will
not let little thing like conscientious
belief stand between him any his entry
in triumph into the national capital as
an elected President.

Specializing in Titles.



Misrepresentation In the title market
seems to be waning, like over-speculation
In Wall street The Thaw-Y armouth mar
riage was a useful object lesson, like tho
Morgan undigested securities. The press,
the public and the brother of the Pitts
burg bride showed tendency to examine
the real nature of the aristocratic stock
disposed of in the American market.
The general decision was that the earl
was listed too high. He might be worth
something. but he was not worth the
price for which he was offered-a pretty
American girl with a generous income Of
her own. The title was good, the pros
poets for a still higher title were excel
lent, but the other part of the property,
the bridegroom himself. was put down by
the examiners at a low figure. Still, IL
she conducts her investment with exec
a balance on the right side Of the ledger
All she has to do is to reorganize her hus-
band. and almost any wideawake Pitts
burg heiress is capable of that.
She probably likes the earl. A mans at
tention Is attracted to a woman because
she has violet eyes or delicate profile,
and after awhile he loves her for a hun.
dred other reasons. A girls attention Is
focused on youth because he is called
Lord Something. and her interest is grad
ually changed by nature into love- Let US
not be discouraged Many an American
girl who puts her money into a mediocre
foreign nobleman manages her affairs
with such dexterity that she Is never
forced to repent of her investment

Peonane in Georaia.

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Memphis Commercial-Appeai proceeds
to rob Alabama of a monopoly of peon-
age, in this fashion:
This Georgia dealers in human beings
proceed almost along the same lines as
their brothers in Alabama They watch
tho courts, pay the fine OF every misde-
meanor convict and transport him to the
turpentine and lumber camps. whore q
long term OF servitude is begun. The pros
ecuting attorneys OF the state profit by
this method Of disposins Of convicts, as all
fines are applied to the payment Of costs
and f1nd their way into the pockets OF
the state prosecuting attorneys and other
officials. Tho state will not pay insolvent
costs and when poor negroes and poor
whites are convicted OF misdemeanors 1t is
treasure trove for the court officials.
when q dealer In human blood presents
himself, pays the fines of the convicts
and transports them to his stockade
There is some of this species OF slave
dealing in nearly every county Of the
state, but It is practiced to a greater ex-
tent and more fiagrantiy In the southern
counties, where tho lumber and turpen-
tine camps are located. In that section
there is the stockade, the blood-hounds,
the whipping post and every other adjunct
of the slave trade as II was practiced
in the days OF old
Here is the old fee brigade again
getting in its work. In the last analy-
sis all the peonage trouble rests on the
fee system. Every stage of the fee
process is full of oppression and
wrongs, and until the legislature takes
hold of the fee matter comprehensively
and in dead earnest, such abuses as
have been found in Georgia sin nearly
every county" will arise. Peonage Is
b. no means limited to two Alabama
counties. II there are two In this state
or In Georgia entirely free from 1t, It
will not be because the fee system does
not invite 1t.
