The grand total value of the annual output of egs is now $145. 100000, while that of poultry aggregates $139. .0OOOOo. Iowa leads the States, in the production Of eggs, the yearly product of that State being s100, ,OO0, 900 dozen. Ohio comes next with 91 .000, 600 dozen. Illinois Is third with 86,000,000 dozen and Missouri fourth with 85.000, 900 dozen. With the exception of Alaska and Hawaii. Montana pays the highest price for eggs. the average price being 20 cents a dozen. They are cheap est in Texas, where the average price last year was 1-2 cents a dozen. The aver age price in the United States last year was Il. IS cents dozen.
 Professor Thompson resorts to the rail- way illustration as a means of Impress ing upon the mind the enormous propor- tons of the egg industry. The annual output fills 43,127,272 crates holding thirty dozens each. An ordinary, refrigerator car whic has an average length of 42.5 feet holds 400 crates. He maintains that a train of these cars sufficient to carry the annual product would be S66 miles long, or long enough to reach from Washing ton to Chicago and have several miles to spare. - ...
 In closing. Professor Thompson says: ''The majority of the fowls of this coun- try are found in comparatively small numbers on a very large number of farms, where they gather their own sub sistenee and receive practically no care. The cohsequence of this Is that eggs are produced at little cost. The development of this industry to an extent incredibly larger than 1t is at the present time is among the easy possibilities"

FELL GASTON RESIGNS
IS PROBATE JUDGE OF BUTLER
 COUNTY.
Harris Lampley an Applicant for the vacancy-Bonds Sold to Pay for Construction of New
 Court House.

Greenville, June A.-(Special. )-The Court of County Commissioners was in session for two days this week, closing up their business late yesterday afternoon. The object of the meeting was to consid- CT bids for $3S,0O0 worth of bonds voted to be issued by the county recently, and known as the Court House bonds. The vote on the question was very light but was practically unanimous for the issue.
 There were several bidders for the bonds, the successful bidders being Rob- inson. Humphrey & Co.,, of Atlanta, Ga. They agree to take the entire issue. pay ing a premium of $575. the purchasers also to pay for the lthographing Of the bonds. Considering the fact that these bonds are to be what is known as short- time bonds, some of which fall due every year. and the last three expiring at the end of the twelfth year. many think tfe Commissioners made a good sale. The bonds draw an interest of 5 per cent.
 The new Court House is being rapidly put up. and there Is now heard no com plaint from any quarter.
 Judge Zell Gaston mailed his resigna- tion to the Governor this evening. His delay in submitting his resignation was because of the necessary matters to be attended to in getting the arrangements made for the payment for the new coun- ty building Now that the bonds have been disposed of. he saw nothing to pre- vent his final removal to Birmingham, where he has opened a law office.
 The Board of Commissioners yesterday passed resolutions very complimentary to him.
 Harris Lampley will make application through his friends for the vacancy. Pe- titions were circulated yesterday and there was none but signed 1t. Mir. Lampley Is a lawyer of prominence and is one of the most popular men in the county He will make the county most excellent judge. It is not believed that he will have any opposition to the ap- pointment. as so far no one is mentioned in conneckion. At the general election, however. there may be several aspirants for the position.

s145, ,ooo, 900 WORTH OF EGGS.
That's the Business the American
 Hen is Doing Every Year.


 Chicago News.
 George Fayette Thompson of the Agri- cultural Department, has written a treat ise upon the modern hen which contains information of interest. In the first place Mir. Thompson declares that the average get-rich-Quick concern stands in about the same relation to an up-to-date hen as does an ice wagon to an automobile. AS rapid accumulator of financial re- sources the hen is in the same class as oil wells and gold mines. The thoroughly modern hen no longer wastes her time matching eggs. She leaves that work en- tirely to the incubator, while she devotes the time thus gained to the more profit able labor of producing Uggs.
 Consequently, Professor Thompson has discovered that there is a approximately smaller number of fowls. but by the adop- tion of labor and time saving machines the lesser number has been able to pro- duce a constantly increasing output of eggs. The treatise contains so much in tepesting information about the hen and her product that Secretary Wilson has determined to incorporate 1t in the forth coming year book of le Department of Agriculture
 Professor Thompson, who Is also a sta tistician of reputation, has discovered that in the city of New York, each fam fly of five persons consumes on an aver age four eggs a day. In Chicago, if 1t is
 
 ulation of 100000. the ratio of egg con- suming is higher and every person in the city manages to consume one whole egg each day in the yea
 The production of poultry and eggs is the most profitable of all industries MT Thompson estimates that a thoroughly modernized hen can realize 400 per cent profit for her owner. In thirty-three States and Territories the value of eggs exceeds the value of the poultry product The egg product in the United States amounts to more when measured by dol lars and cents than the combined gold and silver production. This does not take the poultry Into account at all.
 The value of the combined poultry and egJ product would be nearly double that of the precious metals. The value of the ind Lstry Is just six times that of the wool products. Still. eggs have taken only an inconspicuous place in tarifr de- bates. Protectionists and tariff reform CTS are in a perpetual row over wool, but the hen makes no clamor for protection from Congress. Neither has there been any protest against the introduction of machinery. Prices did not fall with the Introduction of the incubator. Instead. the poultry raisers of the country de- voted themselves to the education of the hen so that she would lay eggs during the time the old-fashioned fowl spent in sit- ting and tending to her brood of chickens.
