Mr.. BACON WORKS IN ITALY
GEORGIA SENATOR TALKS WITH
KING VICTOR EMANUEL.
The Conference May Result in Turn
ing Tide of Desirable White
Labor to the South.

A cable from Rome says United
States Senator A. O. Bacon of Geor-
gia, who recently had long inter
view with King Victor Emanuel, dis
cussed with his majesty at some length
the manifold advantages offered by his
state and others of the southern United
States to those Italian immigrants
who have knowledge of farming.
This is subject in which his males
ty is deeply interested. Through spe-
>cial instructions sent to the Italian
consular officials in the United States
the king has become thoroughly post
ed as to the general conditions sur
rounding the lives of his former sub
iects in the United States, and has be-
come thoroughly impressed with the
ACCESSIBILITY of putting a stop to the
tendency among Italians to congregate
in the large cities and devote them
selves largely to the toughest kind of
labor
1t was under the direct instructions
of the king that the Italian ambassa-
dor to the United States recently made
a tour to the south for the purpose of
investigating the situation here. He
received from des Planches reports
that have been most favorable, and
his majesty has now under considera-
ton plans for turning the tide of i'm
migration towards the south.
1t is understood that the king him
self suggested the audience with Sen
ator Bacon, and during his interview
with the American statesman surpris-
ed him with his intimate knowledge of
the industrial situation in Georgia,
Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi,
which states he is convinced offer the
best inducements for thrifty, hard
working Italian farmers.
After the interview Senator Bacon
expressed himself as delighted with
the interest his majesty showed in this
matter, and declared his belief that it
would result in giving to the south
before many years have passed thou
sands of the most desirable class of
immigrants.

BUGS COST MILLIONS.

Department of Agriculture Esti-
mates Ravages of Insects.
The department of agriculture esti-
mates that the farmers of the United
States are damaged to the extent of
not less than 1886, 600, 900 a year by
insect pests-the boil weevil, the
chinch bug, the grasshopper, the Hes
sian fly, etc. OF this damage cotton
sustains about $50, 900, 900 loss. That
amounts to about as much as carry
ing on an International war for cor
responding length of time. Evidently,
therefore, it is just as important for
us to maintain big corps OF bug
killers as it is to maintain big
navy.

IL was a narrow and superficial

ANOTHER COTTON PICKER.
Charleston Men Now Claim to Have
Invented One.

a dispatch from Charleston, S. c.,
says j. c. Jaudon and S. L. Bond of
that city have invented cotton pick
ing machine which, it is said. will
revolutionize the picking of the staple.
The machine is of simple constitution
devoid of the intricate mechanism
which has marked the attempts of in
ventors to find substitute for the
laborious hand-gathering of the crop
The picker is mounted on three wheels,
the two hind wheels being placed at a
distance which will enable it to be
rolled through the rows without dam
age to the plant. Between the wheels
is sack connected with a long cyl
inder which opens into two short cyl
inders, fitted with teeth for the picking
of the cotton. The machine is operated
by means of a crank, the revolutions
of which causes the turning of the
small cylinders and the conveying of
small belt, which carries the fleecy
staple into the long cylinder and
thence into the sack.
The inventors have shown the ma
chine to a number of farmers and com
petent machinists, and they all declare
that this picker is the best attempt
which has yet been made to pick cot
ton by machinery, and that it is sue
cess. The machine is operated by one
man, requiring no great strength or
skill, and it is claimed it will do the
combined work of several pickers.

WE'RE INDICTED FOR ASSAULT.
Negroes Charged With Attempt to
Kill DIR. Logan.


Among the indictments returned by
the Sumter county grand jury last
week are three against certain negroes
charging murderous assault upon DR..
A. J.dogan, a prominent physician
of near Plains.
The details of this outrageous as
sault, occurring several months ago,
are we'll remembered.
And it was due largely to the fact
that DR.. Logan happened to have a
pistol, and when the murderous night
attack was made upon him in the pub
lie road used it upon his assailants
that he escaped.
1t will be recalled that DR.. Logan
was summoned by a negro late one
night to attend neighbOr, alleged to
have sent for him. Not suspecting
foul play DR.. Logan started in his
buggy to the home in question, but en-
route was set upon by three men.
Dr. Logan received several blows
ere a shot from his pistol caused the
highwaymen to fieee. Several arrests
were made at the time, and the three
indictments have followed.

a tax of $1,000 on every railroad or

Convention DeadIOcd Is Predicted.
Already the politicians have begun
predicting a deadlock in the state

seen such races before predict a dead

Case from Savannah.
AS result of the wedding of a
Chinese and a "coon" Governor Ter
rell has been petitiOned to interfere
with the officers of the federal gov
eminent in the performance of sworn
duties. The case comes from Savan-
nah.

and thinks the chief executive, by a
stroke of his pen, can set aside the
ruling of the United States commits
sioner who has ordered the return to
the Flowery Kingdom of the married
Chink.
Was Married Last Year.
In March 1904 Sam Cheng, a pros
porous laundryman of 400 Oglethorpe
avenue, Savannah, married mulatto
woman who claims Atlanta as her
home. A child was born to the couple
shortly afterwards. Chong was APP
pretended by agents of the govern
ment, who claimed he had no legal
right to remain in America, having
slipped in after the enactment of the
Chinese exclusion bill.
He protested, but it ayailed nothing.
He could show no naturalization pa
pers and was taken before a United
States commissioner. His legal show
ing consisted of torn marriage Ii
cense, and he was ordered depOrted
from America at the earliest possible
date.
Appeals to the Governor.
While Sam Cheng has been held at
Savannah awaiting the pleasure of
the government officials his mulatto
wife has been busy pulling wires in
an effort to save him. AS a last re-
sort she has written Governor Terrell.
Her letter was received Thursday
morning, and was the first epistle to
reach the capitol, the woman having
registered and placed upon it an i'm
mediate delivery stamp. OF course
the governor can do nothing.

ENDED SPREE WITH RAZOR
WALSH SUICIDES IN AN
ALBANY BARBER SHOP.
Well known Insurance Man De-
stroys His Own Life in Most
Sensational Manner.

CHANGING nerviously from side to
side and showing by his beard of sew
eral days growth and his generally
dlshevelled look that he had been on
a protracted spree, middle-aged man
walked out of a boarding house
in Albany Tuesday morning. stopped
several yards away as if undecided
just where to go, and suddenly started
in the direction of Broad street.
His eyes were bloodshot. He stepp-
ed along with quick, nervous motion.
His head was bent forward as if he
werethinking hard of something.
Getting into Broad street he lifted
his head. His eyes fell on the barber
shop sign of Levi Dawson Again he
hesitated, as if puzzled He looked
at the shop and at the wh1te-coated
BARRIERS inside for several moments.
Then he crossed with that same nerv-
Gus step. He walked into the shop
boldly and approached one:of the bar
bers
I'm looking for good razor, and
they tell me that this is the place to
get it, " he said in effect. 81 don't
want to get shaved here. [ always
shave myself, but my razor has been
lost What have you got to show
me?"
The accommodating barber reached
for keen-edged tool, and passed it
along to the stranger NonchalantIy
he opened it. He looked along the
glittereng blade and brought it nearer
to his eyes as if to make closer ex-
animation of the steel.
Then there was look thrown
around the shop, especially at the
man nearest him. The head went
down, the hand went up, the arm drew
back. In moment the stranger was
lying on the floor of the barber shop,
streams of blood gushing from wound
in his neck. Covered with blood the
razor lay beside him. The man was
Thomas Walsh, a well known life in
Surance agent.
1t was certain that Thomas Walsh
had contemplated suicide for some
time. He had told Major B. F. Brim-
berry quite recently that he had but
little while in which to live. He car
ried 81, 900 policy on his life in the
Penn Mutual, and Major Brimmberry
had paid quarterly premium for him
only a few days ago. Walsh told the
major that this money, which was
payable to the estate of the insured,
was to be used to provide a decent
burial.
"The rest, said Walsh, I'm going
to leave to you, Major Brimberry. I
am going to make my will to that Of
feet"
Major Brimberry paid no serious
attention to the statement, as the n~
fortunate man had been drinking very
heavily for some time.

ccRrILIzER TAG QUESTION

Tho Savannah Morning News prints
allowing sensible editorial on the
tag question;
rbv IS it that there is continually
,;na sent out from Atlanta state
Sarts pmanating apparently from the
Ids of Mr.. Harvie Jordan, the
.o,ident of the Southern Cotton As
aoiotion. that the fertilizer manu-
,,o+,rers purchased many more fer
,1izer tags from the agricultural de-
r.rtment than they had use for? Sup
posa the fertilizer men did pay for
more tags than they eventually found
.bny wanted, what was the harm in ltE
Seemingly. there is a purpose to
oroa+e the impression that the fertll-
80, manufacturers were standing IN
9TH those who were trying to depress
tbo rrice of cotton. Unless the manu-
sfsctarers we're engaged in bearing the
cottoo market they wouldn't try to
create the impression that the farmers
gor4 not cutting down their cotton
ocreage. It is a safe statement that
thew were not acting with the cotton
hears. It would have been against them
10 do so. Their interest is to have the
orice of cotton as high as possible.
The better the price of cotton the more
forti1izers are used. All of the inter-
osts of the fertilizer manufacturers
therefore are on the side of the better
|prces for cotton.
The fac4 that III, 900 more tags were
purchased than were used means only
that the manufacturers didn't sell as
much fertilizers as they expected to

ning of the season their orders indi-
|cated that the demand for fertilizers
would be fully as great as it was the
previous year Hence they prepared
DO ship that amount of their products.
1t seems to have turned out that as
large an amount was not used as it
was thought by fertilizer dealers there
would be. Hence, the manufacturers
had d surplus of tags on hand. But,
because they had it doesn't follow
that they purchased more than they
thought they would want simply to
|create the impression that there had
been no reduction of the use Of fer

would be no reduction in the cotton
