One County that Pays no Taxes.

Dakson, Ga, September 6.--There
will be no county taxes levied in
Terrell next year. The board of
county commissioners 80 decided yes
terday.
Their action in this matter means
that five consecutive years the citi-
zens of Terrell will have had no
county tax to pay. The profits
from the operation of the dispensa-
ries in the county more than suffice
for the maintenance of all institu-
tions, which include one of the most
excellent woodworking systems of
the State.
Terrell holds a unique position in
the matter of no tax. 1t is the only
county in the State, or perhaps in
the United States, whore the citi-
zens are not required to contribute
support to the county's expenses.

FIFTY YEARS OF FARM PROGRESS.
miscellaneous Vegetables" That Were
Unknown Here Half a Century Ago.

The farm gardens, market gardens
and truck gardens of today are the
producers of multitude of "miscellane-
GUS vegetables" almost unknown fifty
years ago. In the census of 1890 the
large increase in garden products was
recognized, and a systematic count of
their bulk and value was made. 1t is
possible, therefore, to make a ten-year
comparison of the increase of such prod
ucts, and this records the remarkable in
creases of from 100 per cent to 400 per
cent. in the five several divisions of the
country. The North Atlantic states had
we'll developed industry in garden
products" before 1890, which accounts
for the relatively low increase. How
ever, 100 per cent. in ten years, while
the population increased only a trife
over 20 per cent, is amazing.
Could our great-granddaddies who
thought tomatoes poisonous. and our
t-grandmothers, who grew them as
ornamental plants in window pots, under
the attractive name of ''love apples, -
come back and realize that over 100000
900 bushels of the pretty poisonous vege-
tables are eaten as common and health
full food, they would surely realize that
time works wonderful changes. Anoth-
er interesting statement is that the let
tuce crop of the south has so increased
that IN the spring of this year North
Carolina sent twenty carloads of that
vegetable north in a single day
Thirty-tive years ago celery was a rar-
ity, even on hotel tables, and was used
by few families, even of wealth. Today
it is a common edible, occupying thou
sands of acres in Michigan, Ohio and
New York. One firm has celery farms
in Michigan, Florida and California, and
because of the variety of seasons it is
engaged in shipping celery by the car
load the whole year round. Twenty-Five
million punches of radishes and 12,OOO,-
900 punches of asparagus are the figures
for the crops of these vegetables.-Har-

RATE AT WHICH FISH SWIM.
Sharks Travel Fastest, with Tarpon Sec
ond and Mackerel Third.

Study of the speed of fishes is embar-
raised by unavoidable difficulties. 1t is
not possible, as with birds, to set up tall
poles at intervals of quarter of mile
and, with the help of stop watches, time
them as they go by. Nevertheless, recent
investigation of the subject goes to show
that the mackerel if not the champion
racer of the briny deep, comes pretty
near to carrying off the hOnors I'm
questionably it travels sometimes as fast
as an express train at high speed-say,
at the rate of sixty or possibly seventy
miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims-just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little harbOr
tug. Undoubtedly the energy employed
by fish of great size, such as q 30-foot
shark, when travelling at it's best gait,
is something tremendous. An ordinary
tug which represents a maximum Of
energy in a minimum of bulk utiliZes
about 200 horsepower. Of course, it is
only guess, but it would not seem to
be over the mark to suppose that a 10
foot whale makes use of 500 horsepower
when it propels it's huge bulk through
the water at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. A whale-which is mammal,
and not fish-might be compared to a
freight train if the shark is a cannon
ball express, but it can beat the fastest
ocean greyhound" in speed contest
If there is a fish that can travel faster
than a shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably 'hit her up" to the
tune of eighty miles an hour if pressed
for time Generally speaking it may be
said that finny creatures which live near
the surface of the sea are swift SWIM
mers, as compared with those that dwell
in the depths. Thus the cod, which is q
deep-water Species is sluggish and would
stand no show at all in a race with the
mackerel or herring. These latter.
which are distinctly pelagic, depend for
their living upon their activity in pursu-
ing the agile prey and they must be
quick in their movements in order to es-
cape their own enemies.
If the mackerel was as big as a good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion of the ocean. No fish
is better shaped for rapid going. Some
years ago yacht builder in New York
constructed sloop with a hull patterned
exactly after the under body of a Span
ish mackerel. She was called the I'm
dine, and, if tradition does not lie, she
never was beaten. Like the fish after
which she was modelled, she had her
greatest breadth of beam forward of
amidships-a decidedly novel idea in
boat building. One may say, indeed.
that all modern water craft are more or
less fishlike in their make-up-Saturday

REGENTS RESPONSIBLE.
Report Of Legislative Committee
Scores the Board.
TO INVESTIGATE VARSITY.
Attorney General Declares That State
is Not Liable if Regents Exceeded
Their Authority.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. LII Special I
The subcommittee of COMMITTEES on edu-
cation, consisting of Senator Morris and
Assemblymen McGregor and Donald.
have framed up tentative report in re-
gard to the affairs at the state univer-
sity, which will be submitted to the
whole committee Tuesday.
1t scores the board of regents for al
legged loOseness of management and, al
though admitting that the present condi-
ton has existed to a greater or less ex-
tent for twenty years, claims that the
members of the Legislature were not
cOgnizant Of that fact and within the
last few months the conditions have been
aggravated.
No Extra Session.
1t is not believed that a second extra
session of the Legislature would be called
to straighten out the affairs of the uni
versity, but that the present system will
be allowed to go along until the next
regular session and the deficit made up
little by little through exercise Of rigid
economy on the party of the university
regents.
The subcommittee appointed to de-
termine whether an investigation into
the university affairs will be made under
the call for this extra session of the
Legislature will report that it can, and
the whole committee will recommend the
investigation. There is little doubt but
that the resolution will pass both houses.
Both houses Of the Legislature meet
again at 9 o'clock tonight.
Regents Are Responsible.
Attorney General Sturdevant has rem
dered an opinion in regard to the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, concluding as follows:
The University Of Wisconsin is supported

gents has the power to borrow money In

provided to be collected for it's support, or
In anticipation of the receipt Of such sum
as has been appropriated by the Legisla
ture to its use; but that it cannot borrow
money so as to bind the state in excess
of those sums.
It follows, therefore, that there is a linn
itation as to the amount that may be Dor
rowed, and that, If the board OF regents
exceed their powers in contracting debts,
or, in fact, in making any other contract,
the state la not liable, and that, If the
institution becomes insolvent on account Of
money borrowed or contracts made in ex-
cess of Lmitat tons indicated, the state is
not responsible.

Mailing the Ghost.

An extraordinary instance of rustic
superstition has been brought to light in
an Hungarian village. Owing to sinister
rumors as to the cause Of death, the au-
thorities had the body of a peasant ex-
humed, and were Mortified to find the
hands and feet nailed down to the coffin,
while a long nail had also been driven
through the heart An inquiry was at
once held. with the result that an old
woman confessed that the act had been
perpetrated under her directions. The
man had died sudden death, and, there
being a superstition in Hungary that per-
sons dying under such circumstances
haunt the house in which they die, the
further superstition has grown up that
post-mortem Temperatures can be pre-
vented by mailing the body in its coffin.
The old woman further admitted having
done the same thing in all similar cases
for many years.-London Globe.

MAKING DREAMS USEFUL.
Daily Life the Main Factor in Causing
Our Night Time Visions.

A. L. Gibson presents an exhaustive
analysis of the physical and psychlcal
basis of dreams. He sums up his views
in part as follows: To sum up the ar
gument, dream and waking differ III de-
gree and form of manifestation only, not
in principle and essence. Like waking
consciousness, dream reveals, but does
not create. The same world that sur
rounds the waking individual surrounds
the dreaming, only the viewpoints and
media of observation are changed:
As the life experience OF an individual
in his waking consciousness receives ITS
character and value by and through his
power of response to environment, so in
a similar way the value of dream de-
ponds upon the power of the Ego to re-
spond to consciousness in it's various
forms of emotions, ideas and feelings
which constitute the environments OF the
subjective or dream plate. Waking or
dreaming, the individual is, or becomes,
what he chooses to be at any given mo-
ment of his existence.
The background for ordinary dreams
consists of undigested remnants of wax
ing life. Hence, ordinary dreams ore
merely undigested life, being made up by
iongings, desires. anticipations, idle hopes
and miscarried realizations which, Occu-
plying the mind during the day, ar over
taken by sleep before having reached
their fruition. Hence the mixture, in
most dreams, of the sane and the insane,
of truth and delusion.
On the other hand, the life lived out
and assimilated in a purposeful existence
becomes absorbed in the formation of
character and leaves no residue to form
the bizarre staging for the confused
dream. And to such an individual the
intuitions of dream life, with their daz-
cling imaginary, will introduce symbols
which, properly interpreted, may carry
Therefore, to turn dreams into useful in
telligent and Ineligible factors, we must
fill our waking life with deeds and
thoughts of universal usefulness, and
freight the train of events with an I'M
finching devotion to duty and virtue
