Investigations concerning certain
peonage cases in Georgia have recent
ly been conducted by Mr.. Camp, United
States district attorney, and have re.
suited in the discovery of a horrible
state of affairs. According to Mr..
Camp children were treated with
great cruelty and brutality, being
covered with scars where they had
been pounded by their masters. Even
in coolest weather children slept with
only a strip Of cotton bagging for a
bed and arother for cover. the bag.
ging being made of cords as large as
a mans finger. Slavery was seldom
worse.

The Montpelier Journal is a staunch
and intelligent defender of the forests
of Vermont. 1t recognizes in the
growing tree not only a thing of
beauty, to be protected for it's looks
sake, but a source of assured fu.
ture wealth to the person who owns
and fosters it. The fact Is clearly ap.
parent that timber will never be less
valuable, but with every passing
year will grow more valuable, as
the supply IS lessened and the de-.
mand sharpened. At the present
market price of Vermont woodland,
there would seem to be no more prom
Using investment than its judicious
purchase. 1t is estimated that hard
cord per acre per year, which means a
very good interest rate on a principal
that is constantly appIeciating. A
fifty acre woodlot that can be bought
for a few hundred dollars sven when
favorably located, would yield fifty
cords of saleable wood a year, and, if
the timber were to be intelligently
culled and trimmed, the mature trees
being removed to make way for new
growth, twenty-five years would see
the purchase doubled or trebled in
value. Instead of get-rich-quick ven
lures, why not try Vermont wood
lands for a change?-Randolph Herald
and News.

quited great wealth and forced him
self by his modern methods into the
front ranks of industry. The conflict
was his joy. Heidi not care for the
money. Grover Cleveland said of him
on Tuesday "Mr. Whitney had more
calm, forceful efficiency than any
man 1 ever knew. In work that in
terested him he actually seemed to
court difficulties, and to find pleasure
and exhilaration in overcoming them.
His judgment was quick, clear. and
astonishingly accurate, and when it
was called into action his mental poise
was SO complete tnat neither passion
o irritation could lead it astray."

CONDITION OF HANNA.

Washington, Feb. CAS- a result Of
the analysis Of Mr.. Hanna's blood on
yesterday it Was learned that he had
typhoid fever, although 1t is what is
called irregular fever and is not so Sc
rious as the regular disease. His
physicians last night expressed conf
dence in the Senator's recovery but
admitted that even if no complica-
tions OF unforeseen developments of n
kind occur, recovery will be a matter
OF weeks and will require meanwhile
the most careful and painstaking nurs-
ing. NO one save Mrs. Hanna, Miss
Phelps, the Senator's niece, and Elmer
Dover, his private secretary, Are per.
mitted to see him aside from the doc
tors and two trained nurses, of whom
one is a typhoid fever expert nurse
from Philadelphia. President Roose-
welt called at the Arlington Hotel dur.
ing the day to inquire about Senator
Hanna's condition. He saw MI. Do
yer, with whom he conversed for ten
minutes about the sick man.
The most satisfactory aspect of the
case yesterday was the cheerful and
bright manner of Mr.. Hanna in spite
of his almost utter prostration. Late
last night the physicians declared that
there was nothing Immediately alarm
ing in Senator Hanna's condition pro-
vided unexpected complications do not
manifest themselves, but they ac-
knowledge it is yet too early to fore.
cast the result of the illness.

There is no money for an honest
man as a public official in Washing
ton. That has been illustrated many
times. Secretary Root has just re-
signed to resume the practice of law
in New York. Congressman Little
field nounc he will resign to
practice law in Boston. A few years
ago, Thomas B. Reed resigned to al
money to pay his debts and others
have done likewise. Washington life
is expensive and the salaries are
small as measured by the life.

An investigation has been going on
in Washington for the purpose or as
certaining the number of horses and
carriages in use by the various depart
ments, and procured and kept at gov.
eminent expense. The cabinet officials
are having considerable fun over the
matter for the developments are not
just what the seekers after knowledge
expected. The average age of the
horses thus far reported is twenty
years and some of them cost nearly
$50 in good, hard money, years ago.
The age and style OF vehicles CORES
ponds with the horses. The idea OF
those fossilized equine specimens and
the Anticipated carriages being used
for the personal pleasure driving of
the officials makes the officials smile.

tee work, he made a ringing speech
on the floor of the House Thursday
in defence, or more properly speaking
in explanation of the provisions for
suffrage as laid down by the Vermont
laws and constitution. The speech
was called for because OF some insinu-
ating remarks the previous day by a

Mr.. Editor 81 desire to correct an
error in your issue of last evening,
October IL. You stated that Sheriff
Samuel B. Hardy attempted to reg
ister'' as a voter in the First district.
This is not correct. Mr.. Samuel b.
Hardy tas been a registered voter in
the First district ever since he arrived
at age and is now Ia registered voter
of said district. The young man who
tried to swear Mr.. Hardy off is just
of age, having registered on Tuesday,
and is from another district. The
impression is that Mr.. E. Owens was
prompted by some of Mr.. Hardy's
political enemies to do this.
