of the soil consists of a hard red clay, that retains the fertilizers, upon which ninety per cent. of the farmers of the south are dependent for their producing value. There were raised in Appling county in 1900, according to the census report of that year, 9,37S bales of sea- island cotton. This had a commercial value of three hundred and fifty thou sand dollars There were only 1888 bales of upland cotton produced in 1900 There were about five hundred thousand gallons of syrup marketed in Baxley in 1903, according to statements from the various merchants of that town. Some thing over one million pounds of pork were killed last year, considerable part of which was shipped, being sold at Hazelhurst and at Baxley.
 The people of Hazelhurst and Baxley boast that less western corn and meat are shipped to Appling than to any oth- CT county in Georgia, and point to the records of the railroads shipping books to prove their claim.
 The county seat of Appling is Baxley, with a population of about one thou sand. It has a bank, cotton ginnery, turpentine distillery and large whole sale and retail wagon and buggy house, as we'll as a number of mercantile es- tablishments engaged in buying produce and selling general merchandise. The water of this town is from flowing arte- sian wells, and is of the purest quality.

ENCOURAGEMENT.

Chauncey Nj. Depew has made the statement that Commodore Vanderbilt increased his fortune from s17.eoOOOO to s9c,0oO.OOO between the ages of T and ss. and we notice it for the encourage ment of those of our readers who know that there is room at the top. and are on their way there. Of course. not all of them can expect to make S7s.OOO,OOo in twelve or thirteen years after they are T. and it is possible that some of them wont even have s17.OOo.0Oo when they are T. But they can all hope and aim ard work. and the Commodore set them a good example. The nearer they get to s9O,OOO.0oO the nearer they will come to being comparatively rich.

now auEr DO IT IN RUSSIA.

Even the Missouri grafters might be able to learn something from the Rus sian grafters. The Russian grafters don't miss many opportunities. A writer in Leslie's Weekly tells how one Russian official managed to get some of what he thought was due him. Tn an important town in Siberia there is a solitary member of the Anglo Saxon race who has established a sue cessful business, despite the restric- tions imposed upon him. Periodically, however. he is reminded that he is there only on sufferance by the re- ceiDt of a. letter from the all-powerful governor, which reads something like this: Dear sir: It is proposed to raise monument to the beloved memory of tEe late emperor, and knowing how deeply interested you are in all that af- fects the people among whom you live, have ventured to put your name down for Q thousand roubles. Please remit the amount as early as possible" At one time the monument is to an emperor, another time to a national poet or a historian or a general. Need- less to say. the proposals never get be- yond the committee stage-the gover- nor constituting the committee. The demands are simply a polite form of blackmail, of which the merchant is well aware, but they must be met, oth- erwise he would not be allowed to re- main in the place.
 This might be called monumental grating. Perhaps there is nothing of the kind more monumental even in the heather land of Japan.

fountains meeting the eye at every turE, it lacks an ancient appearance un- less tumble-down ruins may be seer amid the trees. Artificial abbeys and churches can be so built that even an expert may be deceived, the blackened stones and ivy-hung walls resembling those of Norman origin.
 The landscape gardener will supply you with abbeys in any number from one hundred and fifty to four hundred pounds apiece. Here and there, too, the garden can be given a venerable appear ance with the aid of an ancient grotto or two, These grottos are just built of limestone, nd then deliberately sprayed with dirt and grine. Quite nice little grotto, apparently couple of centuries old, can be supplied for ten pound note.-Tit-Bits

FUN AND KxoWAEDGE F.

Chicago isn't so far behind the times as some who don't know the city think. lit las small death rate, and at the present rate of progress it will soon have none. It has a reform city council, and it has Q drainage canal. This summer many of the children of Chicago are go- ling to have a good time and incidentally learn a little. Plans have been com pleted for a floating Chautsuqua," to be established on the Chicago river, for the instruction of school children in the geography and geology of the city and tile methods of carrying commerce. Two steamers will be hired as soon as the schools close for the summer vacation. Lecture rooms will be fitted up on the freight decks for the accommodation of two hundred pupils. The boats will make three trips daily. One journey will be down the Chicago river every morn- ling. In the afternoons the vessels will cruise along the water front, observing the typographical features, and visits to the cribs and other points of interest will be made. The lectures will be given while the boats are anchored off Grant park. A brass band will be taken on all the expeditions.
 This isn't bad idea. Children who expect to live in Chicago ought to have as much explanation as is possible made to them.

7HE CRUM MATTER.

Many adverse remarks are made be- cause the President has dared to stand by the nomination of Dr. Crum, the negro nominated for Collector at Charleston, South Carolina. but many remarks will also be made by those who think the President has done just right. When he first sent in the name of Dr. Crum strenuous protests were made, and the President was induced to temporarily withdraw the appoint ment until charges that seemed to in volve the integrity and moral charac- ter of Dr. Crum could be fully illvesti- gated. It was speedily found, however, that Dr. Crum's character was above reproach, and that the only thing that could be urged to his detrment was the unquestioned fact that there was Afri- can blood in his veins. In every other respect, even according to the testimo- ny of his Democratic neighbors of the superior white race, there was noth- ing to be said against either the char acter or the capacity of Dr. Crum. So the President has not unjustly and cru ely abandoned him.
 But it should be pointed out that the President has not insisted on the con firmation of Dr. Crun. He had done his part in sending in the name four times, during a period of year and a quarter, and it was the senates duty to do it's part and say whether it ap- proved or disapproved the nomination. The President has from the first ab- stained from anything like dictation; his insistence has been simply that the Constitution devolved coordinate obli- gations upon himself and the senate in respect to appointments to office, and if he was ready to take his share of re- sponsibility senators had no right to shirk theirs. He Is right. The senators should have faced the music.

SETTLERS FOR GEORGIA.
Five Thousand Expected to go to Ap-
 bling County.

Five Thousand Expected to go to Ap-
 bling County.
 A movement is on foot to indee large number of western settlers to locate in Appling county, in the southeastern part of Georgia For years, says the Atlanta Constitution, this section was the scene of vast operations in the man. ufacture of lumber and naval stores, but this industry is now declining as the result of the scarcity of timber and efforts on the part of the people to pre- serve as much as possible the remain ing pine forests. While this checks a very important industry it has been one means of turning more attention to ag- riculture.
 At this time negotiations are on foot to locate a colony of Missourians In the county. Already a town called Port Alexander has been laid out on the banks of the Altomaha river and the survey for a railroad from the river to Baxley, the county seat, has been com- pleted. Some of the most prominent and responsible business men of Baxley are interesting themselves in the suc- cess of the colony and stated that their plans in every detail were working out all right and that they hoped to begin the work of building the road and town in September of this year.
 The colony will be made up of suc- cessful farmers, some with means, who will employ the advantage of western experience upon farming in south Geor- gia, and it is thought the effect of this will be far-reaching in advancing the agricultural interests of section rich in soil and adapted to so great a variety of crops. There will be five thousand in all in the colony when it is finally and permanently established.
 The average yield per acre of crops for Appling county Is: Sea-island cotton, five hundred to a thousand pounds; up- land cotton, eight hundred to fifteen hundred pounds; corn, twenty bushels; oats, thirty-five bushels; sweet pota- toes, two hundred bushels. and sugar. cane syrup, five hundred gallons. The lands are level and easily drained. It costs very little to work the crops, as the soil is of reddish sand, loosely held together, and blows and hoes run through it with the ease of the air through the tree tops. The foundation

"The Marine Bride,' one of the best known characters in the streets of Der lin, is dead, says the London Telegraph She was usually to be seen on Unter den Linden, between Friedrichstrass and the Branderburger Thor. She was a worn-looking woman, about f1fty-five, , sNabbily dressed, although of good fam fly, and always carried a heavy bag Every Berliner knew her, and no one molested in the poor demerted creat- ure. Her story is tragic. Many years ago she was betrothed to navy sur geon, and shortly after her engagement she received news that he was drowned at sea. Her mind became unhinged, and since the day of the fatal news she has wandered along Inter den Linden, believing that her betrothed would re- turn to Berlin, driving through the Brandenburger Thor Tn the heavy bag she carried what she believed was 8 suit of clothes, for which her lover would exchange his sea-stained gar nlents.

Tn an autograph letter Senator Wark, the centenarian senator of Canada, as- signs his longevity to plain food and regular habits. He says he has been accustomed to eat oatmeal porridge and milk for breakfast. and still makes it the principal part of his morning meal followed by single cup of black tea and a slice of bread. A piece of fowl or fish with a cup of tea forms his midday meal. In the evening he has a cup Of tea and slice of bread. He retires regularly at ten o'clock and rises at half-past seven.

 The New York Tribune says that the sacred scarabei, little Egyptian charms, are manufactured by a Connecticut firm. They are carved and clipped by machinery, colored in bulk made to simulate age, and shipped in casks to the Moslem dealers at Cairo. The Arabian guides are the chief buyers, many of them being adopts at salt ing" the sands at the base of the pyra- mids. or about the sacred temples, where they artfully discover these scarabei before the very eyes of the Yankee tourist and sell him for an American dollar an article manufac- tured at cost of less than a cent per- haps within stones throw of his own home. Interesting and sad if true.

The editor of an exchange has
an idea. 1t is the danceless dance,
so to speak, and consists of the
round dance with the dancing cut

tiresome. Many men and women
like to dance just to hug and to be
Rugged. What would the average
wife say if she caught her husband
sitting beside a lady with his arm
around her waist, his left hand
holding her right, her left hand on
his shoulder, her head resting low
ingly Oh his bosoml Why she'd
get an ak. But | think it's dan
dy idea. 1t beats galloping mile
to get hug. There is certainly
no more harm in sitting on nice,
easy sofa to do the huging act
than there IS strutting around the
room squeezing every time a corn
err is turned, at the same time en-
deayoring to keep step with the
music of bunch of dagoes; be-
sides it isn't so tiresome.
