The crops are now pitched 90
that one can see travelling through the
country just what part the high price
of cotton is playing in the minds Of
the farmers.
1t makes no difference whether the
hith Price has increased the acreage
in cotton or not An increase in
acreage is nothing. The question is
as to how much can be cultivated. y
farmer is a fool now who will plant
cotton in the expectation Of hiring
hands TO cultivate the same. 1t j.
Just out of the question to lire field
hands any more. The negro men arc
all going to public work, and locate
their families around in The suburbs
OF the towns where their women wash
and their children 90 to school or
frOlic in idlcncss, while the whites of
the class that used to hire for field
work are crazy on going to the fac
tories, and so it resolves itself that
no matter if farmers lose their heads
over the high prices of cotton and
increase the acreage, they can't cul-
tivate it, and the work of preparing
the ground and planting is thrown
away.
I used to find comfort in the hope
that in the great multiplicity Of in
vention and machinery it would re-
solve itself that just few people
could do the manufacturing work Of
the world and leave the bulk Of work
ers to the pursuit of agriculture, but
this is not the case. The more ma
chinery introduced into the manufac-
tories the greater the demand for
workers in these plants and the great
er grows the desire of people to quit
the farms to try on other lines. l
used to be great advocate for fac
tories in the South: am not 80 much
Of an advocate that way any more. |
had never calculated that our Georgia
country people would go so crazy over
working in these factories. 1t is a
fact that these new manufactures are
causing the fields of Georgia to grow
up in sedgc and briars. Land is
being turned out" for the want of
hands to cultivate it, and the evil
still grows. | feel in my heart that
this trend is to prove costly dclu-

eventually return to the farms, wiser

needs relief in all the pursuits save
agriculture. Every profession and
eve J calling is crowded already,
but still the people are crazy to ent sr
into these untricd fields to escape
what foolish notion has made them
think that farming is not good thing
for them to pursue. Eventually this
foolish motion will be apparent, but
the suffering that will occur. before it

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old; sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. II it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

consul General Frank II. Mason at Ber-
I'm, Germany, in speaking of the attitude
OF the German press toward emigration
reports that it is generally more or less
opposed to all emigration except that to
Brazil or the German colonies in Africa or
Asia. One German paper says that Ger
man subjects should emigrate only to
countries where they can enjoy full privi-
ieges as citizens while retaining their Ger
man nationality, and which countries draw
their principal supplies of manufactured
goods from the fatherland
Consul Henry W. Diederich at Rremep
Germany, says that he does not think the
number of emigrants will continue to in
crease. He says that experience has shown
that emigration responds to changes in ma
lonal prosperity, and that the wave of
prosperity in the United States is rushing
this rising tide of emigration through our
gates. Should hard times fall upon the
United States this inflow will subside. The
consul states that the majority of these
emfsrants go to the United States because
1t is known to them as the land of prom
Use, where the opportunities greater
than any other country can offer The
great discomfort among the laboring
classes OF Europe, stimulated by rumors of
great prosperity in the United States is
the prime cause of this wonderful exodus
Consul General Pitcairn, at Hamburg,
Germany, says that of the emgrants from
MS consular district there are very few
who return to their native country except
for visit Most of the emigrants return
ing via Hamburg are Hungarians and Ga
licianS, but after a sojourn of year or
two in their old home they re-emigrate to
the United States.
Consul II. II. Morgan, at Lucerne Swift
erland, says that he does not know of any
organization or society which encourages
or aids emf grafton, unless the Mormons
who have agents in almost every village
and town in Switzerland, could be so con-
sidered. Ehese agents have recently been
receiving the attention of the Swiss gov
eminent, and have from time to time been
called up before the courts on a charge of
holding Sunday schools where they were
accused of teaching the propa ganda of
polygamy.

Where Gold Was Found.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


read in recent issue of The Star an in
teresting description of the method Of OBJ
tanning gold from the bed of Feather river.
copied from the Record-Herald of Chicago,
in which the statement was made that this
was the very locality in which Marshall
first discovered gold.
This is error, as Marshall made the
discovery while digging tile race way for
Suffers sawmill at what was know as SUIT
ter's Mill in Eldorado county, since known
as Coloma which is on the south fork of
the American river, fifty miles northeast
from Sacramento.
Oroville, where the dredging of Feather
river is being carried on is in Butte coun-
ty seventy-five to hundred niles north
of Sacramento. and at least a hundred
miles in straight line northwest from Co.
Iona where Marshall first found the gold.
This is fact so well known that 1t is sur
prisinsy that any one should make such a
mistake.
/ spent part of the winter and summer of
1890 at Suffers Mill, where / became
we'll acquainted with Marshall, who first
built a hotel there which he sold to man
named Winters, and then built another
called the Marshall House in the spring of
1885, While there l was shown one of the
first pieces of the gold that he found, a
small nugget worth four or five dollars. 1t
is remarkable fact that Marshall never
made anything of consequence by mining,
and finally lost all he had and actually died
in want. At that time the only method of
obtaining the gold was by washing 1t from
the gravel and earth along the river banks

MERITS OF GUN CARRIAGES.
Gen. Story Considers the Disappearing
Superior to the Barbette.

Gen. Story chief of artillery, has off,
cially Endorsed the disappearing gun car
riage used in the United States coast de-
Tense system as superior to the so-called
barbette carriage. In a communication to
Gen. Crozier chief of ordnance Gen. Story
says:
II give herewith the best records made
so far during this target year with twelve
inch breech-loading rifles, mounted on dis
appearing and non-diSappearing carriages.
The best record for accuracy is held by
Capt. Cloke's 6lst Company Coast Artil-
lery, at Fort Baker, California, with dis
appearing carriages He made four hits
out of four shots fired in six minutes and
thirty-three seconds at a target moving
seven miles an hour at range of about
1000 yards 1.-TWO and one-third miles,.
1.-THE best record for speed is held by
Capt Chamberlaine's Both Company. Coast
Artillery, at Fort Monroe. Virginia with
disappearing carriages. He made three
hits out of four shots in four minutes and
twenty seconds at target moving about
five miles an hour at a range of 5000 yards
three miles,.
THE best record for both accuracy and
speed with non-disappearing carriages Is
held by Capt. Cloke's 61st Company, Coast
Artillery, at Fort Baker, California. He
made two and one-half hits out of four
shots fired in five minutes and forty sec
onds at a target moving about seven miles
an hour at a range of 1920 yards two and
one-half miles,
From data at hand 1t would seem to be
a fair statement to say that so far the
problem of hitting is concerned. the disap-
pearing carriage has the advantage of the
non disappearing carriage in the greater
rate of fire attainable. The above examples
are not much above the average for guns
mounted on disappearing carriages. The
results obtained by Capt. Cloke with the
non disap pearing carriages are most un-
usual the next best record with this car
riage for speed being four shots in nine
minutes and fifty=five seconds range 5000
.rf1c cd of IA
miles. one-half hit made Even this is above
the average.
II have no hesitation in saying that for
all purposes believe the disappearing car
riage mounted on our coast to be the best
service carriage on land mounts for heavy
caliber guns in the world"

Money for Band Music

Quartermaster General Humphrey has
approved a proposition for an allotment of
50 a month for each army band for use in
the purchase of sheet music. Heretofore
the military bandsmen nave obtained their
music the best way they could, sometimes
through the generosity of individuals and
sometimes by the use of the savings of en-
listed men. The action of General Hum
phrey was based on the general theory
that authority for the purchase of musical
instruments naturally involved the procure
ment of sheet music.
