Mills Coming TO Georgia.

The trouble with labor in Lowell,
Mass, has turned.the attention of mill
men in that city to Georgia as a state
in which they can fnd sites for their
mills. 1t seems they want to get away
from Lowell, believing that labor con-
ditions there will IN future be more
embarrassing to them than they are
now. An agent of some of the Lowell
mills arrived in Atlanta a day or SO
ago and went to Lendale, where, he
was informed he could find sites that
would Gin all probability answer his
purpose. He had with him an expert
in matters pertaining TO cotton mills.
If several of the Lowell mills should
move to this state it would give an
impetus to cotton manufacturing here
that would put Georgia in the lead in
that industry IN the south.

How Snakes Travel.

Now any one who has looked at the
skeleton of a snake-and it is really d
very beautiful object-will have been
9 ruch by the great number OF rios,
which may be as many as 1000 pairs
saws tt St. Nicholas. In these lay the
secret OF the ability of the serpent to
do some of these things. The lower
end of each rib is connected with one
of the broad scales that run along the
under side OF snake, and when rib
is twisted slowly backward it pushes
on the scale, the edge of of the scale
catches on the ground or whatever
object his snakeship may be resting
on and the body of the snake is push
I'd just a little bit forward. OF course
e lch rib moves the body but mere

and they are moving one after another
the result is that the snake moves
slowly but steadily ahead.

LETTUCE AND SMALLPOX.
The Vegetable Prevents Catching
of the Disease.

Lettuce is an absolute preventive
of smallpox. No one is in the least
particle of danger of catching small
pox who eaGs little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the scrObutic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea, de-
prived OF fresh vegetables, get scurvy.
Scurvy is typical scrobutic disease.
Smallpox is another. Smallpox always
RACES during the winter season, when
the poor people are deprived of fresh
vegetable foods. Celery and onions are
good tor this purpose, but there IL
such long interval between their be-
ing gathered and being eaten that
they lose most of their antiscrObutic
properties, Lettuce IS served soon at
ter it is picked and hence contains the
valuable properties which prevent
smallpox. 1t is a thousand times bet
ter than vaccination. 1t has no liabtl-
tiles, like vaccination, TO produce 9TH
er diseases. We are willing TO stake
our professional reputation on the
broad statement that anyone who eats
lettuce daily will not catch smallpox
whether he be vaccinated or not

and Other Pine Products.

From the Albany Herald.
Application has been made by the
Albany Pine Products Company for a
charter.
Those interested are Captain p. Z.
Boyd of Leary and Messrs. Morris
Weslosky. A. A. Marshall, A. W.
Muse, J. a. Johnson, A. p. Vason and
j. w. Walters of this city.

ed DR.. G. w. Bilinger, of New York.
There are at presest Two plants Of this
character in successful operation in
Georgia, one at Eastman and one at
Moultrie.
Briefly stated, the Bilfnger process
is about as follows: The plant con-
sists of a number-usually about ten
large retorts and series of stills and
other apparatus for refining liquids.
Pine wood of almost any character is
the raw material consumed by the
plant. Old stumps, logs not TOO much
decayed, and even tree tops and saw
dust are utilized. The wood is placed
in the watts and treated with fire. The
wood is converted into charcoal of the
best grade. The sap is all extracted,
and from it mum Der of products are
obtained by running it through the
refining apparatus. These products
include spirits of turpentlne, two grades
of valuable oil, two grades of tar and
creosote. All these products, as well
as the charcoal, find ready market.
1t is stated that the Bi!fnger plants
are great money makers, and that
dividends of astonishing proportions
are earned. The raw material COLI
sumed is character of stuff that is
usually wasted. For instance, old
field stumDs are utilized. A farmer
can sell his stumps for enough TO make
IL pay him TO buy Il stump puller and
employ laoorers to remove the stumps
from his field, and even realize a
financial profit in the operation.

you see in an aquarium, casting a sick
Iy green light over their haggard faces
and giving them a death-like pai1or.
With gurgling roar the water would
drop and spread aft, and good, whole
some light of day come in again.
Aft on the poop were gathered the
officer and the men of the watch on
deck, dozen oilskinned figures clutch
ing the lifelines rugged from rail to
raj. Thus they stood, four hours at
a time drenched, gazing stolidly at the
whirl of spray and scud about them,
with nothing to do, only 10 stand by.
The man at the wheel was dashed to
his post; his duty it was to keep the
helm damned hard over. Such is the
sailors school of physical endurance
One bell struck-on the poop. Even
that old martinez, the skipper, would
expect no man to strike it ford, for
the bell on the forecastle head clangs
sullenly at intervals in low, throaty
notes. as the roaring torrents pour
over it. Bad enough IT is for the man
to dodge for d in the first JUL to the lee
door of the ferecastle to jerk those
QTONSy fellows the OLHeT watch Out
of their few hours Of slumber-
"Ho-o-o, ho-o-oo, ho-ooo. all hands
ahoyi Awake. We sleepersi One belii"
With sleepy yawns and drawing
curses the men drop out of their hunks
to their chests, and slowly, reluctantly,
in sullen silence, climb into their OIL
skins, while the seas bang the weather
wall of the foreeastle like shells from
heavy guns.
Eight bells-relieve the WATCH" Aye,
eight bells. but the watch has yet to
wait awhile, for no mortal man could
wade those flooded decks from ford
to aft Sea after sea, green and white,
pours over the bulwarks like the break
ing of a big dam.
Finally comes another luI. The ship
pauses as though TO rest. while the tons
of water on deck shoot out through
hawsepipe and scupper. Once more the
deck is visible, covered only by the
foam-rimmed sheets Of ripping water.
The lee door Of the forecastle flies
open. and one by one the men shoot
out, like bees from a hive, and scurry
aft, fairly throwing themselves up the
! poop ladder.
All hands are aft-aIl but one Old
Sam Harland, able seaman, fingers TO
I'LL his pipe, as he invariably does, in
fair weather or foul Creeping Sam
they call him. At last he crawls out,
shuts the forecastle door and starts aft.
Suddenly all hands shout and gestic-
uIate TO him He sees. but the shouts
are lost in the roar of the gale. Slowly
he waddles aft, unconscious of his dan
ger Were he TO look behind him he
would see coming up on the weather
! bow a distant but fast-approaching
wall of greenish gray. its white top ap-
parentIy licking the low-hanging
clouds
He does see at last, but too late. The
! ship gives a quick lurch. a heave, at
tenpts to rise to the oncoming pillows,
