"COLLOssAL IMMoRALITY.".
Eminent Financters Now Merely No
tOriOus, Says j. G. Schurman.

President Jacob Gould Schurman in
his address at the opening Of the thir-
ty-seventh year of Cornell university
recently denounced the colossal i'm
morality in the management of public
trusts" says an Ithaca On. " special
dispatch to the New York Times.
AN event has occurred during vaca-
ton" he declared, (which has attract
ed all the eyes at home and many
abroad and is still attracting them. 1t
is in regard to the management of
public funds and trusts and the man
ner in which trustees are dishonesty
and, | may say, criminally using the
funds Of widows and orphans in all
parts of the United States. This cOlos-
sal immortality in the management of
public trusts has brought forth just
and severe criticism. Nothing will
come of this outburst of indignation
unless it makes each of us feel that
there is something wrong in the public
spirit of the country
I'VE have in this country during the
last twenty years accumulated colossal
fortunes. In the gift of acquiring mon
ey the American people have far out
run any other people. We are contin-
uaIly using money and the money of
others to make more. Consequently
there is before our young men a dis
torted view of the end of life and
laXity III regard to means which may
be adopted in attaining this false end.
Il believe that we need to so back
to the old ground that a mans life con-
sists, not i'll attainment of this world
possessions. but in the development Of
the best character and power that is
in him. | believe that human beings,
the highest as well as the lowest, are
bound by the same moral laws, and
these laws are as inevitable as the
physical laws of the universe
Recently eminent men in the fnan-
cial world have become mere notorious
characters. We are criticising them
severely, but | repeat this criticism
will come to nothing unless it reacts
upon ourselves and individually gives
up saner views "a to the chief good of
life and the way to walk to attain it"

Three Sutton sisters Plan to Sweep

The three Sutton sisters-May, Flor

tensive campaign next year and expect
to capture state, national, international

Los Angeles dispatch. Miss May held
the championship of America until she
defaulted in the tournament held this
year to select a contestant for the
worlds championship She now pur-
poses to win back the American cham
pionship and also defend her worlds
championship.
Florence Sutton is recognized as a
worthy rival Of her more famous sister
and has defeated every player on the
Pacific coast in contests this season,
losing only to her sister after a hard
battle few weeks ago. Miss Violet
and Miss Florence have been pitted
against each other many times In dou-

With the three young women playing
and eligible for all championship CON
tests they expect to win every medal,
honor and championship in 1906 both in
the United States and Europe.

MILL MEN TIRE OF THE NEGRO
South Georgia Lumber Companies Try
ina to Secure immigration Labor.
One Firm Employs Beers.

Fifty lumber firms were represented
in the sessions of the Georgia Inter-
state Sawmill Association at its ses-
sion just held in Savannah. The
coastwise price list was advanced ST.
per thousand straight through, and
the interior list advanced on planning
mill product 50 per thousand. No. 1
shingles were raised to So per thou
sand and No. shingles to $1,5O.
General dissatisfaction with negro
labor was evidenced, and several mem
bers of the association are casting
about in an effort to dispose of the
problem by employing foreign labor.
Among them was L. M. Hughes, OF
the Ocmulgee River Lumber Company
of Lumber City, who recently import
ed Beers and placed them at work.
The experiment is SO recent that Mr..
Hughes was unable to give any state
ment as to the probable result.
The Red Cypress Lumber Company
of Pretoria is another company which
will dispense with negro help if it is
found that immigrant labor can be
used with satisfactory results. The
company is in communication with the
Southern immigration Society of New
York with a view to bringing COM
panv of possibly thirty Slavs or
Swedes within the next few weeks.

LAWSUIT FOR EIGHTEEN CENTS.
Case Appealed by Attorneys for Cen
trail Railroad.

An Americas young lady returning
home from Atlanta recently was the
indirect cause of lawsuit against the
Central Railway for eighteen cents.
Her escort, a lawyer, wishing to pass
the gate at the new passenger station
and 60 down to the Central train with
the lady, bought a ticket to Hapeville
for eighteen cents. After the train left
he returned to the ticket agent and
offering the ticket demanded the IS
cents, which was refused him. The
ticket had been punched by the station
gateman, but not used for travel. The
young man brought suit in justice
court, where judgment for the amount
sued for was rendered in his favor.
Attorneys for the Central of Georgia
have now appealed the case by certio-
rari to the superior court, and it is
likely it will go on to the supreme
court ere being finally determined.

RADIANCE OF COYOTES
Results of Agricultural Depart
ment's Tests In Oklahoma.

Professor ID. e. Lantz, While Trying
to Find Means to Exterminate the
Pest or Keep the Beasts Out of
Fields, Has Devised a Coyote Proof
Woven Wire Fence to Protect Do

Professor David K. Lantz, assistant
in the biological survey of the United
States department OF agriculture, has
returned to Washington after finishing
more than years work in southwest
ern Oklahoma studying the habits Of
coyotes and devising means for their
destruction by farmers and ranchmen,

tration of the animals ability to main
tain its numbers under seemingly adj
verse circumstances Most of the cOun-
ties of the state for many years have
paid bounties for killing coyotes, and
conditions have been reached where
there is little fiuctuation in the total
amount paid from year TO year. The
returns of the animals killed for the
fiscal twelve months from July 1, 1903,
to June 80, 1904, shows that nearly 90
600 coyote scalps were presented for
bounty. The bounty was 81 for each
scalp"
The prey Of coyotes is mostly pigs,
sheep, young calves and poultry. Coy
Otes have little courage, although they
will raid a barnyard in daylight. Their
seeming boldness is due more to fla
miliarity with their surroundings than
to native fearlesSness. They are too
suspicious to be easily trapped or poi
soned, although in portions of Mexico,
where the natives for years have prac-
ticed systematic poisoning, the coyote

WOMAN AGED "a RAISES COTTON
She Does the Entire Work Herself,
Picking the Staple.

Eighty-four summers have passed
since Mrs. Lizzie Mcknight was born
in the mountains of northea stern Ala
bama, yet even now she can boast of
more strength and vitality than many
women half her age. Most of her life
was spent in her native state, but for
five years she has been living with
relatives in Tippah county, Missis-
sippi.
A crop of six hundred pounds of
cotton was what Mrs. Mcknight rails
ed last year, cultivating and gather
ing this crop by herself, besides
spending most of her time in her
garden.
Mrs. Mcknight is remarkably we'll
preserved in every way. She can see
to read without glasses as well she
ever could.
