A Remarkable Mimic,

There is in the vicinity of Mont.
gomery one OF the most unique char
acters I have ever known" said a
Montgomery citizen yesterday; He
is a Farmland on the plantation OF
aGy Brothers, about seven miles west
dumb. He is a special friend of the
white workers on the plantation and
of the negroes for that matter, but
because OF his peculiar talent and
faithfulness combined he receives many
extra attentions at the hands OF the
whites.
His name is George Everidge. His
forte Is a wonderful accomplishment
in mimicry Most of his performances
are confined to members of his race.
particularly his fellow-workmen, all OF
whom he has down pat He Is In the
stone deaf. With the sense of hear
ing missing he is still capable of imi-
| tating the typical negro preacher from
| the time he rises in the pulpit until
| the benediction. He has ACQUIRED the
! inimitable form of gestures of the col
hibits a striking imitation of the vo-
cal features of the sermon.
"Of course. the utterances are not
| Ineligible to any extent hardly, but
/ the intonations of the sermon chant
| which are matters of sound altogether
are gotten off true to the type. This
is what arouses. my wonder and all

Papers For ola Soldiers.

If" said Hon. John T. German.
State Examiner of Public Accounts,
who returned from Mountain Creek last
night. the managers of newspapers
and periodicals published In Alabama
knew what avidity the veterans in the
Soldiers Home read all newspapers
that came to them the managers would
send their newspapers to the Home
for their benefit.
There are sixty-seven inmates of
the Home. They are intelligent men
who take a keen interest in public
affairs. 1t would soften their lives
to be able to read newspapers from
the sections in which they formerly re-
sided but they are not able to sub
scribe to these papers.
II was told that The Advertiser is
the only Important daily newspaper In
| the State sent to the Home with the
compliments of its management. I
| believe that the other newspapers only
need the matter brought to their at
tention to show this courtesy to the
old soldiers"
Mr.. German has been examining the
books ond accents of the Soldiers
Home.

Few people ralize," said a Mont
gomery fruit and nut dealer. the i'm
portance to which the pecan industry
of Montgomery county and of Middle
Alabama has grown. We have almost
reached the point where we can de-
pend on our town trees for supplies
of nuts and those who grow them find
ready and profitable market for
MIR. Thomas W, oliver, whose place
is on the Mount Meigs road, about
seven miles from the city. has gath
cred about 1000 pounds this season.
He brought 1000 pounds of nuts to the
city today and they were sold before
he brought them in The wholesale
price of good pecans ranges from 10
to 90 cents a pound, and as 1 have
said, there is O. ready market for them.
1T is beyond my understanding that
more people do not go into the bust
ness of growing pecans. They give
very little trouble and the returns are
certainly beyond the expectations of
persons who have not given the mat
ter much consideration"

CONGRESSMAN JONES'
SUGGESTIONS CARRIED OUT
Reservation Lands May be Leased
for Ten Years Under Favorable
Conditions to the Lessee.

Congressman w. l.. Jones has been
eminently successful in his efforts to
have the Indian office grant ten year
leases of Yakima Indian reservation
lands for the raising of sugar beets
AS heretofore state in the Herald,
Mr.. Jones, before he left Washington
City recently, secured the consent of
the department to the ten-year leas-
ing proposition, with certain stipula-
tions, such as rotating a crop of al
falfa with the sugar beet crop, an an
nual rental per acre of 800, and
reimbursement of the rental at the end
of five years. if deemed for the best
interests of the Indians. This was
not satisfactory to Mr.. Jones, how
ever, and he urged that these stipu-
lations be modified so as to permit
the rotation of any crop with the su-
end of the lease term about twenty
acres of each allotment shall be
well seeded to alfalfa, and that the
rental value of the land shall not be
increased at the end of five years of
the term without first securing the
consent of the lessee. Both of these
notifications have been accepted by
the department, as we'll as Mr.. Jones'
other modification, that any person
who would otherwise be eligible as a
lessee, could negotiate for the leases
for the purpose of raising sugar beets.
AS the department had arranged it
originally, there could have been but
one lessee, that of the corporation
composed Of Jacob Furth, the Seattle
banker, and others. The provision
for employing Indians in the sugar
beet factory where practicable will
be omitted in the leases made by
others than this corporation.

Young Yakima Couple ElOpe.

Fred Thompson and MissElsie Rich
were married in Vancouver, Wash,
last Tuesday morning, May End,
1905.
Mr.. Thompson is clerk in the post
office in this city, and his bride is
the youngest daughter of Hon. Nell
son Rich of Prosser. Both the bride
and groom are very well known in
the localities where each has resided.
The bride is very attractive young
woman. Their marriage was conduct
ed very quietly. In fact, it was an
elopement. The bride was on a visit
to her sister in Salem, Or, when her
gallant Lochinvar came after her;
his coming terminated her visit, and
they were soon married. They re-
turned here Sunday afternoon to make
their home. The blessings of the
brides father is earnestly hoped for
by the groom, who admitted that he
anticipated warm reception at the
first meeting.

C0RTELY0U, The REFORM
POSTMASTER GENERAL
Corrupt Officials are Weeded Out
Reforms Place Department on
Clean Basis.

The Heralds Washington cores
pondent this week deals with Post
master General Cortelyou and his re-
forms in this branch of the govern
ment. He writes:
Postmaster General Cortelyou has
inaugurated a new regime in the
prosecution of fraud in his depart
ment, which, if it continues to be
conducted along it's present lines,
promises to prove a terror to wrong
doors. In fact, this is the postmas-
ter generals announced intention.
TO begin with, the head of this de-
partment issued instructions to the
law division therein to investigate
every concern on it's face appearing
to be conducting a fraudulent bust
ness as fast as they could be reached,
without waiting, as has been the Gus
tom with form administrations, for
some person who has been victimiZed
to file complaint. The result has
been that a larger number of fraud
orders have been issued during the
past month than in any previous
month in the history of the depart
ment. With the reorganization of
the department the inspectors have
been placed under the direct super
vision Of the postmaster general, in
stead of being in the bureau of the
fourth assistant, as heretofore, and
inspectors realize that the evidences
of their vigilance come to the per-
sonal notice of MIR. Cortelyou, so
there is every incentive to do
thorough work. In time the post
master general hopes to develop this
good work that will enable him to
hold responsible the inspectors or
the officials of the law division when
an apparently Objectionable adver-
tisement appears continuously for
given period in the newspapers with
out its authors being inspected by
the postal authorities.
buJ IeueTdl SOEleIyOu
has not confined his energies to the
issuance of fraud orders against con
Germs doing dishonest business. He
has also directed and instituted a
crusade against persons conducting
or acting as agents of lotteries. In
this work, in which the postoffice de-
partment has been hampered in the
past by lack of cooperation from
other departments, Mr.. Cortelyou has
enlisted the sympathies and cooper
alton of the treasury department and
department Of justice. Already raids
have been conducted and numerous
arrests made in Tacoma, San Fran
cisco and Cleveland, although no ar
rests were made in the last named
city. Within few days raids will
be conducted in eleven other cities
where lotteries or their agencies are
flourishing, according to information
