GEORGIA PINE FuRNITUnE.

A New York firm that makes a. spe-
cialty of fine furniture is ADVERTISING
bed room suites of Georgia pine; bed.
bureau and washstand, sos; reduced
from 1920" 1t must be admitted that
the price is very good for three pieces
of furniture, and the articles must be
handsome to command such figures.
The virtues of Georgia pine as a
building material are very well under
too. it is coming into quite general use.
There are in this city number of ex-
amples of cabinet work in Georgia
pine that will compare favorably from
an aesthetic point of view with sim
liar work in about any other wood.
But for the finer uses, such as furni-
ture material, the Georgia pine has
yet to win its way to the front.
That it will eventually win cannot be
doubted, and that its march of prog
ress into the fine furniture field has
been wen begun is evidenced by the
advertisement which we have quoted.
There is no wood of handsomer grain
than the Georgia curly pine, and few
that have lasting qualities that are so
good. For rich beauty, quartered oak
is not to be compared with the curly
pine, nor is birdseye maple. In weight
and strength the pine will compare
favorably with mahogany, which wood
the pine often approaches In color
with age. We have seen many pieces
of old curly pine. beautifully polished.
that were the equal of mahogany in
richness of color and solidity of text
ure. These pieces. it is true, were in
cabinet work, but there is reason to
think the pine would be found equally
beautiful and satisfactory in fine fur
niture.
The forests of fancy hardwoods are
being rapidly depleted. Walnut, ma
hogany, cherry, etc, are becoming
higher in price all the time But there
is still a large supply of Georgia pine
of handsome grain that can be drawn
upon for furniture manufacturing
purposes; and we hope to see the
state of Georgia before a great while
largely interested in converting pine
timber into high grade furniture.

Not Alarmed.

One of the best known of our cir
cult court judges has an enemy, a law
yer, who had once been his unsuccess-
full opponent in politics, in one of the
towns on his round, and was general
ly subjected to some affront when he
reached there, says the Philadelphia
Times. The lawyer took so little pains
to conceal his contempt that one of the
judges friends was moved to ask:
why don't you squelch H? He
needs it.
The judge laid knife and fork across
his plate, folded his hands, and, SEEM
ingly apropos of nothing at all, said:
up in my home town there's a wild
ow with an ugly yaller dog that, when
ever there is moonlight, sits on her
stoop and bowls until the town can't
sleep, and generally keeps it up till
daylight
He then resumed his dinner. The
friend looked at him in amazement for
moment, and then inquired:
well. what of it?''
We'll" said the judge, slowly, 1.-The
moon keeps right on"

MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTH.

! When the products of one section of
our country, whether they be agricul-
tural, industrial, metallic or mineral,
are rich and abundant, that section is
wealthy or. if it is not, it is on the
/ highway to fortune. Add to this gene
rosity of production the profits that
| accrue from the expectation of the
! products of another section and the
swifter is the progress on this high
way.
The South is in the enjoyment of
both conditions. and there is promise
that year by year its shipments of it's
own products and those of the West
to foreign and domestic ports will in
! crease. Remarkable has been this
increase during the last few years. but
the influences that have brought it
about are still busy and are them-
selves undergoing an increase. To the
wealth of the South in the last two
years an eminent authority assigns an
increase of 5000, 900, 900. If this is even
near the mark, it is indicative of the
mighty commercial strides our section
is making.
Largely TO the disposition that has
been showp by the great railway sys-
TENS that have outlets upon the Gulf
to move Western products via these
ports is ascribed this rapid in
crease in wealth. Where actual mer-
gers of railway property have not
been made, there have often been par
f.I s,a4.. E1sa
rangements perfected whereby rout-
ings could be controlled. The result
has been that systems like the South
ern Railway, the Louisville and Nash
Vile and the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific have been able to extend the
territory from which they receive their
freight, and, prompted by the self
interest there is in long hauls and by
the desire to aid what they have made
their own Southern ports, they have
seen to it that shipments are sent
South
Thus far the Gulf ports have reaped
the greatest advantage from this dis
position of the great systems to de-
velop the trade of this section. The
South Atlantic seaboard is more remote
from the fields of production. From
a large territory in the South Sa-
vannah has drawn, and from portion
of the West, but there has been no
railway combination really effected
and put in working order to reach far
into the West and make South At
lantic ports their outlets. One gun in
the battle of the South Atlantic ports
for supremacy in the expectation of
grain and other products of the West
has been fired, however, in the traffic
understanding that has been reached
by the Seaboard Air Line and the st.
LOUIS and San Francisco Railroad.
Though the identity of the Seaboard
VIII not be lost, the Frisco system
will have heavy financial interest in
it, and it is believed that the influence
of the western road will be employed
in increasing the business of this port
by bringing western products here
for export and granting a tariff that
will admit of domestic and foreign
goods received here reaching their
western destination at rates that will
render this point strongly competitive
with New Orleans and Galveston.

Nyes's FRS engagement

The late Maj. Pond managed Bill
Nye for several lecture seasons, but
their first meeting was rather infor-
NAL, says the Saturday Evening Post
Nye was one day walking down Fourth
avenue with a friend, when he spied
the majors modest sign in the window
of the Everett House.
Here's the man that tncites the lee
turers," said Nye; lets go in and see
if we can't induce him to lead a better
life"
Entering, Nye removed his hat and
ran his hand over the hairless expanse
of his head, and after staring about for
a moment, said:
This is Maj. Pond, 1 believer"
Yes, sir. What can l do for you"
answered the major.
II want to get a job on the plat
FORM" returned Nye.
"Ah-yes," said the major, slowly.
Have you had an experiense?"
"Well, I've been before the public for
a couple of years"
Eyes? May ask in what capacity?"

cealed in the bottom of a cabinet and

THE FIvE-DAY SHIP.

! Germany's supremacy in speed at sea
! is apparently threatened. The English
have not said a great deal about fast
ships since the marvellous German fly
ers have been cutting down records
and distancing everything afioat, but
they have been doing a powerful lot
of thinking. Now, it is promised, the
thinking is about to bear fruit in one
or two great ocean liners that are
designed to be as much faster than
the German ships as those ships are
now faster than the ships that fly the
British flag.
AS it is believed the highest type
of development in reciprocating en-
gines has been reached in the motive
power of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, the
new ships. to be built by the Cunards,
will be equipped with turbine engines
The information is that Lord Inver-
clyde. chairman Of the Cunard Com
pany, has already taken steps towards
the construction of two turbine driven
ocean liners. The suppostion is that
an old ship of the feet will be given
turbines as an experiment before a
positive determination is reached with
respect to the new ships. though the
Herald has it on what is considered
good authority that plans for two
new ships with turbines are we'll adj
vanced.
The turbine as a motor for small
craft has passed the experimental stage
and has been pronounced a success.
Its chief merits are high speed and
freedom from vibration, while occupy
ing less room than the old, reciprocal
ing type. It's chief demerit is that
it is a greater consumer of coal than
the old type. Another point in favor
of the turbine is that it requires few
er engineers and machinists, thus
compensating in some measure for it's
greater coal consumption. If the en-
CINE room force be cut down one-third
or one-half, the saving can be APP
piled to the coal bill. Many marine
architects and engineers are firm in
the belief that the turbine will prove
as we'll adapted to the great ocean
liner as to the launch and torpedo boat.
In that case, it may be that the Cum
ards will give the world the five-day
ship that it has been waiting for, and
place England once more at the front
for ocean speed.

Hayes was constantly emitting wit

Mr.. Stewart, "a teacher was lecturing

Cork. Any of you ever been to Cork? p
he asked.
Most of us shook our heads. But
Hayes spoke up and said:
" L have never been to Cork, sir,

OUR AMBASSADOR TO MENELIF.


Newspaper readers have noted in the
dispatches recently several items re-
specting the proposed trip of a vice
consul of the United States to Abys-
sinia, with the purpose in view of ar
ranging with King Menelik for new
and better trade relations between his
country and ours. Most readers doubt
less have a very haZy notion of Abyss
sinia. They know it is a place that
is mentioned in the Bible. and that
it used to be tinted blue or pink on
the old school map, and that is about
as far as their information goes.
The idea of there being a commerce
between Abyssinia and the United
States somehow strikes one as being
incongruous, as reaching from ancient
history into the twentieth century.
Measured by our standards. Abyssinia
would probably not be called a, mod
ern, up-to-date country. 1t lacks many
of the things that we regard as neces-
sary adjuncts to our daily life, such
as trusts and party bosses: yet it is
Christian country and has been one
for hundreds of years. The people
were converted to Christianity at a
very early period of the history of that
religion and have remained steadfast
in the faith: nevertheless some years
ago Italy conceived the idea that
| Abyssinia needed to be civilized by
| benevolent assimilation and undertook
! the task. The undertaking cost her
/ hundreds of millions of dollars and
proved a fiat failure. 1t was Italys
their cotton cloths, among other things.
| 1t is now the purpose of the Unit
| ed States to furnish these cottons, but
we shall go about it in a different
manner from that pursued by Italy,
and we may succeed. The population
of the country is about 3.5O0,OOO, living
| in a territory little more than three
times the size of Georgia. These peo-
pie ought to need "a good many shirts
and petticoats in the run of year.
One of the most picturesque things
about modern Abyssinia is the king,
| MCilCih. ne NletllilS dlISGl u6SNGHI lTOlI1
| King Solomon, with a bar sinister on
his escutcheon. In view of Solomon S
reputation, there are reasons to think
| Menelik could substantiate his claim
| II put to the test. He is in a posi-
! ton similar to that of some of our
| English speaking aristocrats who can
trace their ancestry back to William
the Conquerer. Menelik is a man of
mental powers. a patriarchal old fell
low who breaches and fights with
equal vigor and loves to do both. His
court is Enthusiastically oriental, and
he calls himself the King of Kings
and Lord of the Earth" notwithstand-
ing he reads the papers and has heard
of Pierpont Morgan and John D. Rookie
Teller. His assumption is preposterous,
of course: but since he knows no bet
ter and we are in hopes of selling
him and his people a lot of our manu-
features, we can afford to let him GO
on in the thought that he is the whole
| thing. Should we succeed in winning
better trade relations with Menelik' :
country. and in shipping many great
bales of cloth to the Abyssinians. we
should regard it, of course, as a great
victory for modern civilization. OF
