EDITORIAL NOTES..
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

President Roosevelt has made a
remarkably salutatory address to the
Holy Name Society on the subject
of profane and unclean language.
The pros and cons of calling the
extra session to convene in October
are being discussed with unusual
interest in Washington.
Senator Daniels on finance is
almost as ludicrous as Senator $40"
Blackburn.
Having set in motion the general
staff of the army, Secretary Root
believes he can retire on his laurels
Joseph Pulitzer has given two
million dollars to found a school
of journalism. Mr.. Pulitzer's paper
should profit by good school.
The effort to attach blame to
President Roosevelt for the rapid
promotion of General Leonard
Wood is unjust. General Wood
owes his rapid promotion to Presi-
dent Mckinley.
There is no reason to believe that
the Steel Trust will become a
''Dinkey" institution just because
that is the name of it's new presi-
dent.
Street railroads have more than
doubled their traffic, nearly trebled
their mileage and increased their
capitalization fivefold since 1890,
according to the census experts.
There may be fraud in the Indian
Territory but there is no one more
competent nor more willing to
make thorough investigation than
President Roosevelt.
The Insular Bureau has dis
covered that the Jesuits established
a complete meteorological obser-
vatory in the Philippines in 1865
and have kept accurate and IN
valuable records ever since. The

tragedy of the air. Then they went back
to the sick room to tell of the terrible
struggle for life they had just witnessed.
1t did not occur to them that under their
very eyes more terrible, more pathetic
struggle was going on daily.
There can be nothing more pitiful
than the struggle the consumptive
makes against disease. The greatest
help in this struggle is gained by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t cures obstinate coughs, weak
and bleeding lungs, emaciation, and
other ailments which if neglected or
unskillfu1ly treated find fatal termina-
ton III consumption.

Get a Farm.

The Importance of keeping up farm
ing cannot be too greatly emphasized.
No matter what a mans means, he
should get hold Of a farm of some
kind, large or small, and hang on to
it, Even should he never have oc-
casion to use ,it himself, the invest
ment is a good one, and as long as
he has it he need not fear the poor
house. Farms such as make good in
vestments are to be found in central
and northern Wisconsin and if a man
wants to acquire that which will some
time prove to be most efficient an

Progress of Madison

The capital city is to be blessed with
two handsome new buildings, to be
erected within the coming year. Plans
for the magnificent library building
will be ready for public gaze Jan. 1,
1904. -Four architects outside Of Mad
isOn are allowed to compete in the
competition for providing plans. All
Madison architects may enter the COM
petition. The library will be con-
structed on a central site in the city
and when completed will be one of
the finest in Wisconsin. The other
new building is the high school, to be
put up on a block adjoining the library.
The structure is to be erected in in
stallments. The old high school build
one is going up and only such Ct
the new school will be built as will
be necessary to provide the needs.
Madison is a center for magnificent
public buildings. There is the state
hospital for the insane across Lake
buildings, including the handsome his
torical library which cost the state
100000. Then there is the federal
building which houses the second larg-
est postoffice business of any city in
the state. The new general city hospi-
tai is to be ready by the first of
October. This is the pride Of Madi-
son. And the capitol must not be for
gotten 1t will not be long before
work on the addition to the supreme
court accommodation will begin.

Delights of Farm Life.

I enjoy reading Hoard's Datryman
each week, even the advertisements.
We men who are not farmers envy
those who are. One man wants job
taking care of poultry and collie de-
partments of a big stock farm. Here's
a 40 acre farm in southern Michi-
gan that will be rented on shares. Not
a cent called for, yet it carries thirty
five COWS and 100 ton silo; here's a
bull years old for 500; or you can
get 900 acre tract in South Dakota
at SIS. A Florida lady will sell her
SIC acre dairy farm, with diary Of
twenty-five head to a town of 5000
people-that is attractive, if one would
live in that hot climate. Ona-third
down cash with 5 per cent. will buy
all sorts of farms.
Hardwood land from which the saw
logs have been cut, but there are still
many dollars worth of good wood
bolts, pulp wood, ETC., on every acre
which goes with the land"-thats our
own forest country. 1t is clear that
anyone that knows how to run
creamery can get job-there is q
steady call for managers. Some day
you will go up north and buy 500
acres and settledown. Plenty to eat,
plenty TO do, freedom from worry and
the strife of life-no struggle to keep
up appearances. How happy Wiscon-
sin farmers should be il they only
knew it.

ONCE COTTON COUNTY
MR. HEYWARD's BALE WAS NOT
FIRST RAISED IN CHATHAM.
COTTON FIELDS ABoUNDED
AROUND SAVANNAH BEFORE AND
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.

Jones' Field East of Tybee Depot
Once "a Cotton FieId-PIan Sug-
Bested for Organizing Company
to Lease Lands Now Idle and Re-
vive the Cultivation of the Staple
in Chatham County.
While the bale of cotton ginned at
the new Savannah gin last week was
believed by many to have been the first
grown in Chatham county, such
is not the case. Before and during the
Civil War there were a large number
of cotton plantations around Savan-
nah. Skidaway Island was especially
noted for the fine cotton raised there.
The more profitable pursuit of raising
truck gradually took the place of cot
ton raising, and up to this year cotton
was an unknown product since the CO.'S.
The older inhabitants remember well
when a good deal of cotton was raised
in Chatham county, and there were
plantations at the Isle of Hope and
White Bluff.
After the war the late DR.. w. s.
Lawton had large cotton field in
east of the Tybee depot.
In those days of the industry in
Chatham the same conditions of back
sets to crops from the ravages of cater
pillars were experienced. The use of
Paris green and other ingredients for
the destruction of the pest were I'M
known and the farmers were practi-
cally at the mercy of the worms.
At the Isle of Hope nearly all of the
lands that are now covered with pine
and the yield was said to be equal to
that of the big plantations along the
Mississippi Valley.
1t has been suggested as one of
many possibilities, to lease these old
cotton fields by a company, and again
enter into the cultivation of cotton
Nearly all of the land could be rented
at a low figure, and with the ad-
vantages of soil that have been de-
monstrated, for the cultivation of the
staple there is little doubt that the
investment would prove a paying one
By the Inauguration of such an in
dustry all of the idlers that now loiter
around Savannah avoiding the vag-
rant law, could be utilized. Mr.. T.
S. Hayward's venture in cotton rails
ing has already demonstrated the fact
that the lands around Savannah are
excellently adopted to the raising of
cotton, and with the interest that is
now being taken in the industry to
the exclusion even of the truck rails
ing, few more years will place Chat
ham among the cotton raising coun-
ties of Georgia.

There are many earnest, hard-work-
ing business men who never think of
drawing a salary out of their business,
even for as much as they pay a clerk,
over and above what it costs them for
actual living expenses. They may run
along for years in this manner. This is
all very we'll as long as the business
succeeds; suppose, however, they shall
fail, then all their hard labor is thrown
away. Frequently this happens when
the man has grown old and his earn
ing capacity is impaired. 1t is only
the part of prudence and foresight to
throw some of the burden on the right
kind of life insurance. A sum of money
equal to the clerks salary invested in
life insurance will not only protect the
family as nothing else can, but should
misfortune come. may be the means of
furnishing capital for new start. The
policies of the Massachusetts Mutual
Life Insurance Company provide for
every possible contingency and have
the added protection of the laws of the
commonwealth of Massachusetts. Let
us show you our plans of insurance?
We will cheerfully send specimen poll
cies and interesting literature. Write
at once, state your age and address.

MARCUS, BLUMENTHAL,
NARROW CASE SETTLED.
Breach of Promise and Receivership
Ended and Peace Reigns.

Breach of Promise and Receivership
Ended and Peace ReiGns.
The complicated bail in trover suits
of Nj. Marcus against Sam Blumenthal
and Lizzie Marrow were at last settled
in the City Court yesterday by mutual
agreement of the parties concerned, and
the judge ordered the case dismissed.
This ends an Interesting and intricate
and complicated legal fight. The case
is difficult to understand, even to those
who are best acquainted with it's de-
tails. The original bill was filed about
two months ago by NJ. Marcus against
Sam Blumenthal and Lizzie Marrow.
This was followed by a breach of prom
Use suit, brought against Max Rubin
by Rachel Marcus, and injunction pro-
ceedtngs instituted by Max Rubin
against d. Nj. Aaron L. and NJ. Marcus
in the Superior Court. In the first case
the terms of settlement provided that
the attorneys for the plaintiff be al
lowed $3.50. In the second case an en-
try of dismissal was made under the
express stipulatiOns that the suit shall
not be renewed in any other court, but
that matters be dropped entirely.
In the third case, that of the receiver
ship, the plaintiff consented to dismiss
sal on the pa yment by the defendant of
attorneys fees.
Blumenthal was engaged to marry
Miss Narrow of Florida and had in his
possession $500 belonging to her. He
came here and entered business with
Marcus and met the latters sister, to
whom he became engaged, after the
solicitations of his partner who favored
the match. Blumenthal was to have
invested the $500 in the business here,
but made up with his Florida sweet
heart and broke off with the SaVan-
nah girl. The many complicated suits

TO GIVE entertainment.

The Ruth Rebekah Lodge, I. o. o. F.,
have decided to celebrate the anniver-

for in the order issued by the grand

no official notification of the setting
aside of the day has been received by
the Ruth Lodge, but at their meeting
Friday night the lodge decided to hold
a service on that date. A committee
has been appointed, and it will COM
plete the necessary arrangements. 1t

gramme will be rendered, consisting of
musical numbers and addresses by
prominent odd Fellows, the entertain
ment closing with the serving of re-
freshments. The complete programme

The Laundry Consolidation.

The proposed consolidation of the
Savannah Steam Laundry and the
Georgia Steam Laundry under the
title of the Savannah-Georgia Laun-
dt'y Company will not change the
management of the plants. 1t WILL
however. put the Savannah laundries
in touch with the company's two
laundries at Norfolk, Va, and through
this connection the object of the con-
solidation will be brought about.
Economy is the actuating motive
of the consolidation" said Mr. D. S.
Lisburger of the Savannah Steam
Laundry yesterday. 1.-The first work
to be undertaken by the new COM
pany will be to install new machinery
pany will be to initial new machinery
in the Georgia plant. During the pres
ent year the machinery of the Sa-
vannah plant has been renewed and
improved and the plants capacity
increased, as the question of ma
chinery and supplies is always be-
fore the laundryman there is chance
for economy when purchases are MADE
for severeal laundries. Another ad-
vantage, which is we'll understood by
experienced laundIymen, is the inter
change of talent. One laundry may
develop experts in line in whlch
another laundry is weak. By the in
terchange of talent it will be possible
to strengthen all work links. The
duality of laundry work to-day is
far better than it has ever been and
there is no better plan OF
keeping up the high standard
than the Interchange of ideas
and methods through the inter-
change of talent. The new company
is in the field for experienced laun-
dry workers and persons who desire
to learn the business and develop into
experts The consolidation will even
tuaIly decrease the expenses of all
the laundries forming the company"

UNEARTHING PENSION FRAUDS
CommissiOner McLane Turned Up
Few in South Georgia.

Few In South Georgia
United States Pension Commissioner
McLane returned yesterday from
Southern Georgia, where he has been
investigating reported pension frauds
and where he has succeeded in I'M
earthing sensational and fragrant vio-
lations In two instances he discov-
cred carefully prepared plots to de-
fraud the government out of large
sums of pension money. These claims
had not yet been granted, but had 1t
not been for the work of the COM
missioner the applicants would have
doubtless been successful in securing
their claims.
Many minor frauds in several coun-
ties were discovered and arrests will
be made in a few days. The total
amount of the pensions that are being
illegally drawn and that were about
to be granted to undeserving parties
is more than $4,000.
Owing to the fact that no arrests
have yet been made the commissioner
declined to give out names, but said
that it will only be a matter of few
days when the defrauders are in the
hands of the law.
