BROWN MADE TART REPLY
The Railroad Commissioner Says
Some Sharp Things to Candi-
date HOke Smith.

Hon. Joseph M. Brown of the rail
road commission replies in a warm
card to recent statements of candidate
Hoke Smith. Mr.. Brown showed that
the supreme court of the United States
decided that the reduction of railway
freight rates made by the legislature
of Nebraska-294 per cent.-was too
low; and yet Mr.. Smith suggests a
reduction in Georgia far lower than
the Nebraska rates.
The supreme court said that no bus
mess could suffer a reduction on its
receipts without ruin. Mr.. Smith S
proposed reduction in Georgia would
be 40 per cent. less than the Nebraska
rate. The supreme court has said
that the carrier is entitled to fair
return on the value of property and
the value of the services rendered.
In conclusion Commissioner Brown
thus roasts MIR. Smith:
"What a wonderful governor you
I are to be With one stroke OF your
mighty pen you are to vacate offices
and set aside the constitution and the
laws of the country We gods and
little fishes Upon what meat doth
this Caesar feed that he has grown so
great. Therefore l do not hesitate to
say that the intelligence of the demo-
cratic party of Georgia will reject the
proposition to elect as governor a
candidate whose platform is the at
tempted notification of the decisions
of the supreme court of the United
States, whose attack upon the demo
cratic officials of the state is based
upon their refusal to violate their
oaths of office that a favored few may
prosper at the expense of many.

Some Instances Where He Saved Many
Thousand Dollars of Property.
In spite of the standing Jokes about
the weather man it is probable that
for every dollar spent on the weather
bureau ten dollars are saved. At the
time of the Mississippi food OF 1897
SIS, 900, 900 worth of live stock and
other property were saved as result
of warnings issued a week ahead.
Signals displayed for a single hurri-
cane have detained in port vessels
valued, with their cargoes, at $50, OOO,-
900. The West Indian stations, es-
tablished in 1898, inform US of hurri-
canes as soon as they begin. The

CONVICT HAS BIRTHDAY PARTY
Old "Uncle Bill" Celebrates Birthday
in Sing Sing Prison.

William Kelly, known by his fellow
prisoners as "Uucle Bill" has just
celebrated in Sing Sing his S5th birth
day. He is the Oldest convict in the
state and has been incarcerated longer
than any person now in a New York
state institution. Kelly was placed
behind the bars thirtY-four years and
four months ago for murder in the
second degree, committed in Queens
county. The Judge, as far as known,
and all the jurors have long since
Joined the great majority. In cele-
brating his anniversary Kelly seated
himself in his big arm chair while the
other convicts passed by, each shak-
ing his hand and wishing him success
in efforts soon to be made for procur-
ing his pardon.
After Kelly had been in prison for
little more than twenty years he be-
came stone blind. For twelve years
he sat in darkness. A New York pro-
lessor visited Sing Sing. Passing
the hospital ward he noticed the blind
convict.
Il should think this case ought to
be cured" remarked the specialist.
Kelly agreed to an operation, which
proved a success, and the old man
SIGHT was completely restored.

MIR. JORDAN AND MIR. PETERS.
High officials of Cotton Association
Are Having a Rucus.

1t is evident there is going to be
trouble between Hon. Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION, and Colonel E, G. Peters
of Texas, the vice-president of the as
ISOLATION. The latter doesn't approve
of Mr.. Jordan's action in summarlly
suspending him from his Office of vice
president, and would like to know Mr..
Jordans authority for so doing. Mr.
Jordan, it will be remembered, at the
the time he issued his order suspend
ing Colonel Peters said he was au-
thorized to take that action by a ma
iority of the executive committee of
the association.
But, asks the Savannah News, has
the executive committee any more au-
thOrity to suspend Colonel Peters than
Mr.. Jordan has? This is an interest
ing question, and ought to be settled
without delay. The time may come
when somebody will want to suspend
Mr.. Jordan, and it would be import
ant to know if there is authority any
where for doing so. Continuing, our
Savannah contemporary says:
E'It is certain that Col. Peters isn't
going to consider himself suspended,
and doubtless he will make a very
pretty fight in his own behalf when the
time comes to do SO. According to
Mr.. Jordan, the suspension OF Col.
Peters was due to the failure of the
latter to give the association proper
support in its effort to have the bu-
reau of statistics of the agricultural
department investigated. Col. Peters
says that the suspension was due to
the fact that he refused to back up
Mr.. Jordan's demand for the reslgna-
ton OF Secretary Wilson of the agri-
cultural department. 1t is of the
highest Importance to know which OF
these statements is the correct one. il
Col. Peters was punished because he
wouldn't back up the attempt to GUST
the secretary of agriculture, it is prob
able that Mr.. Jordan will have trou-
BILE in getting the association to sus-
tain his action. 1t will be asked wheth-
er or not it is one of the duties of the
president of the association to GUST
cabinet officers when they don't happen
to suit him. Itlooks as if the Jordan
Peters affair would make interesting
reading before it is adjusted. "

Cotton plantations and tobacco
aoIds are not more picturesque than
oro the sugar beet fields of Michi-
ran, says an Ann Harbor dispatch.
In the old world one commonly sees
s,,ndreds of women and children
N the fields; IN the south 1T is not
.,pcommon to see women working
NTH rake and hoe, but in the rural
districts of Michigan it is excep-
-ional, and one born in the north
nbo sees scores of women hOeing in
Tho beet fields is not apt to forget
the scene.
When the industry was intro
ducpd into the state the farmers
thought that any land was good
enough for the sugar beet, as it had
heen for the common variety, and in
only practically waste patches were
bopts cultivated. But experience
and the coming of expert beet grow
ors have taught differently, and to-
Iav some of the fertile lands in
Michigan are devoted to the vege-
table. So great has the business
become that in some parts of the
state whole towns are supported by
the one industry. Fully % per cent
Of the population are often employed
Tor six months in the cultivation OF
the succulent root, and a district
that was once considered least suit
ed to the production of beets has
become one of the best in the state.
Even the small farmerS-thOse who
can care for only one or two acreSo
Deets-are now devoting much Of
their time and interest to the crop.
To one who visits the beet fields
for the first time the commercial
side of the subject is lost in the hu-
man interest of the beet workers.
In the burrows between the lines of
developing plants laborers have
their sorrows and joys, their tears
and laughter, just as in every occu-
patton in life. There are petty jeal-
ousies existing among the women,
on some of whom the foreman be-
slows an approving nod.
There is always belle in the
field who wins the smiles and often
the assistance of the men, much to
the chagrin of less popular sister
workers; there is invariably wit
with his bucolic humOr, some one
who is the butt of good-natured
testing, and an Apollo with his con-
fident swagger. There are the usu-
al little vanities of the women, who
wear stout shoes and short skirts,
but in almost every instance a
bright tone of color in the bodice, a
