Mr.. JAS. Priest, one of the veteran
miners, but now pasture gatekeeper,
says: "There are more nice mich
COWS in Darlington than any town of
its size in the State. Ordinarily
there is no good pasture lands in or
around towns of this size. Take
MadIsonville for an instance, all the
grazing is so tar in the country the
town people cannot take advantage
of it. In Darlington it is thereverse.
The st. Bernard Mining Company
have three large pastures which
they use each year solely for graz
ing purposes and rent at a moderate
figure, thereby enabling the people
of Darlington to keep their COWS
during the entire summer In an en-
closure where they thrive and are
convenient for milking and at the
lowest possible cost to the owner,r

GEORGIA BACK TO
 FIFE DAYS OF OLD
Tax Values of 1905 Are Almost as Large as Those Immediately
 Before the War.

Atlanta. November 24-(Special) )-Geor- gia is rapidly approaching in material wealth. the condition which prevailed just before the war when the returns of prop erty for taxation upon the digests were the highest ever known in the history of the state.
 In 1860 the returns for taxation in Geor- gia amounted to s672,OOOOOo, the highest ever known. Following the war with the slaves freed buildings burned, stock gone and other heavy property losses, the re- turns went down to about hundred mill lion. In other words Georgia's actual losses incident to the war, figured and estimated from the tax returns were more than a billion dollars.
 For 1905 the total property returns are s575, 100000 this year having shown an increase of $45O00,0OO If the same ratio of prosperity is maintained Georgia will reach within two years the same pinnacle of financial wealth upon which she stood in 1860. These figures indicate that Geor- gia's recovery within recent years has been something rapid

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, November 24-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Fundamental conditions are unchanged although higher temperature at many points again checked retail sales of heavyweight wearing apparel, and other seasonable merchandise. Labor conditions in the building trades have not improved, and another serious struggle may occur which would be most unfavorable in view of the large operations under way and contemplated. Otherwise the situation is satisfactory and the outlook bright, with mercantile collection steadily improving Holiday trade gathers impetus as the season advances. Industrial undertakings report little idle machinery, and there is less complaint regarding car shortage, rail- way earnings thus far available for Mo- vember exceeding last years 64 uer cent Foreign commerce at this point for the last week showed a loss of $1,0S9, ,032 in ex- ports, and a gain of $53,17 in imports as compared with the same week last year It Is customary at this time of the year to find general quieting down in the iron and steel business, but normal con- ditions do not prevail this season. AL though the leading interests have prevent ed any sensational imitation of prices all di- visions of the market have hardened suffi- ciently to accelerate the operations of consumers. Activity at textile mills con- tinues, but the primary markets for cot ton goods were decidedly disturbed by the violent advance in raw material.
 Quiet conditions continue in the market for packer hides. chifly because orders cover deliveries so far in the future that sellers are indifferent regarding new bus mess Leather remains quiet.
 New England factories are hurrying con- tracts for delivery before the close of the year. and also cutting the new seasons goods.
 Failures this week numbered 22s in the United States against 205 last year. and sixty-four in Canada as compared with

GREAT ACTIVITY
 IN EVERY LINE
PIG IRON IS STRONG BUT QUIET, MAINLY BECAUSE ALL lMMEDl- ATELY oBTAINABLE SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN ENGAGED.

New York. November 24,-Bradstreet's
 tomorrow will say:
 Mild open weather favors in high de-
 gree the unprecedented activity in all in-
 dustrial lines, but unfavorably affects
 trade In wearing apparel and retards col
 lections, which also feel the adverse in-
 fuences of country wide freight conges-
 ton. Evidently in an effort to avoid
 trouble from this latter source, holiday
 trade at wholesale Is active beyond all
 preceding years. In wholesale and job
 ping lines, the backwardness of retail
 trade is reflected in slower recorder trade than exepected, but confidence in the gen.
 eral outlook is evidenced by the liberal
 orders reported for spring goods.
 Pig iron Is strong, but quiet, mainly
 because all immediately obtainable sup
 plies are engaged. Prices are rising slow ly but steadily and imports of material
 are now becoming actualities All other
 metals are strong. Copper particularly so. Silver Is at the highest price in four years. Export trade in food products does not expand as hoped for earlier, owing to large Russian and Argentine shipments. Prices are steady at close to the highest. Money is active the country over. Rail- way earnings show further expansion. the gain for the first half of November being about per cent; net returns for nine
 months show a gain of per cent. Hides are easier The wool market Is rather ouieter, with what few transac- tions are reported at former values. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending November 23, are s,353,06S | bushels, against 4.79O,211 last week and | 1882, ,S66 this week last year.
 From July 1 to date the exports are | 49,S71,535 bushels, against 2s,015,447 last | year
 Corn exports for the week are 1,010,5 ,522 | bushels, against 1.054,SsS last week. From July to date the exports of corn are |, 21, ,s02,979 against 10 959576 in 1904. Business failures for the week ending | November 23 number 224 against 19s last | week, and 193 In the like week of 1904. | In Canada failures for the week number
 40 as against fl last week and fl in this | week a year ago.
