COMFORTING THE EUROPEANS

Comfort me with apples" sang the singer of the Song of Solomon. Com fort us with apples, say the people of Europe, and they are finding out that United States apples are very comfort ing. Only 9 few years ago United States apples were not seen in Europe. Now they are. Up to date in the pres ent season 2,535,00O barrels of our ap- pies have been shipped abroad. The great bulk of them go to London, Liv- erpool, Glasgow, Hamburg and Hull, England grows some apples, but not enough to supply the entire home de- mand throughout the year. Their ap- pies are mostly of the perishable sort, what we call fall apples. They depend now largely upon shipments from the United States for their winter stock, and along about the first of April they begin to get fresh apples from Aus tralia. By the first of June the London 1 market is well stocked with fruit from Australia, and there is no market there for the American product until Septem- Der.
 The Department of Agriculture has been and is doing all it can to increase the exportation of United States apples. It seeks to determine the best methods of packing and shipping, so as to insure the delivery of American fresh fruits in 1 foreign markets in sound and whole some condition. At the same time the special agents of the department are always working to find out what the purchasers desire and to stimulate the growers in this country to cater to the foreign trade. The trade is now in a
 aourishing condition, and bids fair to be more fourishing.

A recent traveller in Macedonia writes: '"The views on Providence en- tertained by Turks and Jews, respec- lively, and the extent to which belief influences the conduct of each, are well illustrated by the following anecdote: A Turk and Jew were one day in a boat. Suddenly the weather changed and a fierce squall arose. The Jew pro- posed that they should turn back at once. The Turk was for going on. Fear not. my friend; Allah is great he said. .Allah is great retorted the Jew, but our boat is small"

oysters wntered in Kansas.
From the Topeka Capital.

Now that the oyster season is at
hand it will be interesting to Topeka
people to know that nearly every time
they buy bulk oysters they are paying
a good price for water. The retail
butchers claim that into every five
gallon lot of oysters received by the
Topeka commission men from one and
half to five gallons of water Is
poured. This knowledge clears up a
great mystery. The Topeka commits
sion men have always been willing TO
sell oysters to retailers at any price
they wanted to pay. and IL has been a
puzzle for some time how they could
do Il and make money. II seems that
the high price charged for the water
always more than evens up anything
that is lost in reducing the price OF
the oysters. II has also been claim

BUSINESS PROSPECTS
AS SEEN BY AN AMERICAN
Review Of Commercial Tendencies of United
States =.

London. Sept. Elm the course of a
two column article from an occasional
American correspondent. the London
Times to-day printed an, interesting
review of the development of business
in the United States. The writer who
returned home after an absence Of
nine years" took an extended trip
through half the states in the Union.
He says:
Never were my countrymen so de-
voted to business. The average man in
the United States is giving at least an
hour more per day to his business con-
Germs than he did twelve or thirteen
years ago."
The writer attributes this increased
energy, first, to the renewed national
spirit" and the increased responsible
ties resulting from the Spanish-Ameri-
can War, and, second, to the sense OF
economy imbued from the severe de-
preston of 1s93-1S97, though he does
not overlook the display of vulgar os-
tentation and almost criminal w1ste
by small number of rich, idle people
in the larger Cities
In infinitely Analysing Americas flu
ture in the world of trade, the writer
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-09-23

says: "In che matter Of foreign trade
the manufacturer in America has in
definite aspirations instead of concrete
ambitions He would like to trade
with all the world. The American has
come to have the strongest faith in his
gift for direction. He is convinced that
other peoples, somehow, are losing that
power and he is convinced that It is
only question of time when the finan-
cial center will be shifted to New York
or Chicago. He does not take into ac-
count the fact that he has not yet de-
veloped a banking system flexible
enough to adjust itself to a commercial
crisis"
Trades unionism. the writer declares.
is weaker in the United States than be-
fore and while the wages in skilled
trades advance those in unskille6
trades decline.
Replying to a question as to how long
the present period of prosperity Is like
~ to continue, the writer says the gen.
eral feeling in the United States pre-
diets 1t will last until the next presi-
Dental election is settled" He con-
cludes by saying that whatever chances
Americans had at one time of getting
slowly but surely a paying foreign
trade in manufactures have been lost
for the present through series of mis-
takes and mis-directed efforts but that
these mistakes will be overcome in
time.

by centrifugal force by passing it
through a series of tubes in which spir-
ais are so placed as to give the air
a whirling motion, causing the sus-
pended particles, which are heavier
than the air, to be thrown outward and
brought in contact with the tubes, from
which they flow through perforations

The washing process imparts about 20
per cent. humidity at a temperature OF
20 degrees Fahrenheit I'm the operating

sirable for health and comfort, and
avoids the excessive dryness sometimes
resulting from other systems of heat
ing and ventilating. Moreover, in sum-
nner time. with the temperature outside
at so degrees Fahrenheit, and with the
normal temperature of the city water,
the air delivered TO the rooms can be
readily reduced to 20 degrees. This is
a supplementary advantage which must
appeal at once to sufferers from ex-
treme summer temperatures every
where. and with the growing knowledge
that such an advantage is available
the insistence will undoubtedly come
that buildings should be kept cool in
one season as well as warm in an
other.

shot and killed at that place by a negro
named Gadsen, who was employed by
him.
1t seems that they had some words
yesterday morning in the commissary.
Mr.. OQuinn told the negro that he
either had to go to work or leave; that
he could not loaf around in the quar-
ters and keep his other hands from
work. Nothing more was said. AS
usual, Mr.. O'Quinn took his horse and

the alteration in the morning, standing
in the darkness with gun in his hand.
Mr.. OQuinn asked him what he was
doing there with his gun, and the only
reply received was the report of the
weapon, the load, consisting of a full
charge of buckshot. struck him in the
right breast, making hole about the
size of a mans fist.
Mr.. O'Quinn pulled his pistol and ran
after the negro about fifteen steps,
shooting at him as he disappeared in
the darkness. The first shot from his
pistol removed the negros hat, and it
is said that he was seen later in the
night by Mr.. John Wood, who said
he was wounded in the head and left

Mr.. O'Quinn lived only a few seconds.
Mr.. Newton was telegraphed for, also
his wife, who was visiting relatives at
Pooler. Mr.. Newton offers a reward
of $3.50 for the arrest of the murderer.

ports at $50 O'Clock is that Gadsen has
been surrounded in thick bay or

Dust and Telephone Switches
From Casters Magazine.

1t has been demonstrated that much
the larger share of trouble caused by
imperfect contacts in switchboard con-
nections in telephone exchanges can be
prevented by proper ventilation of the
operating rooms, and that implies thor
ough cleansing of the air entering them.
Many experiments have been made In
the way of dry cleaning by filtering
through screens of wire and cheese
cloth or cotton batting, but all such de-
vices require frequent renewal, some
times at considerable trouble and ex-
pense. BY continued use any filter Of
this character must deteriorate and
eventually become clogged. and in or
der to avoid the results of neglect 1t
ought to be practically automatic. This
point is essential in an air cleaning

for good citizenship, saying:
Zone of the first duties of our coun-
try is to fight ceaselessly and energeti-
cally against all classes who defy law
and whose principles are a menace to
society. We do find such people all
over the country. The farmer; the me-
chanic and the professional man are
responsible for such conditions. when
they exist If they have made no effort
to place within the reach of all these
penury-stricken people-these dwarfed
intellectualities-tha which is the ba-
sis and foundation of contentment;
that is decent homes, fair remunera-
ton and hours of toll that will permit
of social and intellectual enjoyment"
Mayor Hancock responded for the
city, and Harvie Jordan, of Georgia,
for the farmers.
About 300 delegates. representing
thirty EIGHT states, were present.
The present congress will devote a
great portion of it's time to the distri-
butive side Of farming the productive
side having hitherto taken most of the
attention of the farmers.
The addresses by the officers showed
that the congress is growing in power
and influence, and especially in the
matter of securing beneficial national
legislation.
Capt. d. G. Purse, of Savannah, Ga,

the United States"
In the general discussion which fol-

FISH THAT BREAK THE LINE.

ENxo,,o A. ~. ~ - e.

NhUuccH ~ 10 Ihat He'll Get Rid
of the Hook and Line.
From the New York Sun.
The questions as to how long a hook
will stay in fish that has broken a
line and escaped and as to whether
or not it will prove fatal depend for
answer a good deal on the kind of the
fish and the character of the water in
which it is hooked.
In very weedy water it happens
sometimes that two or three feet of
the line still attached to the hook
wrap about a bunch of stems and hold
the fish a prisoner until its starves to
death or dies from the exhaustion
consequent upon it's efforts to break
away. In weedy water where there is
no line attached to the hook the weeds
will often rub the hook from it's place
in an hour or two. the fish making no
conscious effort to get rid of It, In
lakes or ponds that have rocky bot
toms a fish with hook i'm it's Jaw
