THE BEST WAY TO GET RICH

If the people of Georgia would
make one grand concerted effort to
stay out OF debt and make one
great food crop and a reasonable
cotton crop this would be the foun-
dation of better prosperity. No
prosperity is permanent that does
not make the farmer better Off. If
the farmers have some cattle to
xiii and some to sell next autumn,
some hogs to kill and some to sell
next winter, some corn in barn
and some to sell there would be
money in pocket when the cotton
is sold.
To improve the condition of a
people requires concerted action.
We have recently seen the price
of cotton raised because the men
who raised the cotton acted in
concert. They stood together and
made millions of dollars by it..
Now that start has been made
why not act together to produce
food and stop the flood of money
we send to the west? It can be
done to great degree. One year
of rigid economy with q definite
intention will produce wonders.
If the farmers can unite to up
hold the price of cotton they can
unite to feed the home cities and
take the food money. The thous-
ands sent out of this state for food
every day would soon make Geor-
gia rich. 1t is Lo theory and no
speculative talk, for any man can
think it out for himself.
The cities of the South spend
vast sums of ready cash every
week for food. That is for beef,
for pork, for fowls, for eggs, for
beans, for potatoes, for Irish po-
tatoes, for cabbage, and green
food. Nearly all of this at all sea-
sons could be supplied by the
| Georgia farmers. They cannot
supply flour and all the meat, but
they can supply mnch of the meat,
all the cabbage, all the flows, all
the eggs and all the butter. That
can be done. The money for those
things going to the farmers in spot
cash every day would soon make
the farmers beyond the mortgage
stage.
Farmers can organize, can act
together without regular organi.
cations, and if they persist in il
they will as surely be benefited
as the water runs and grass grows.

Let AMERIcUs BE CHARITABLE

There is tremendous response
bility now resting upon the coun-
try, which specially appeals to the
South to meet the cry of humanity
for help. With wreck and ruin
such as no other city in this coun-
try, possibly none other of it's size
has ever faced in just the same
way, with hundred thousand or
more people suffering for food,
with a whole city homeless, with
the task of ministering to the
needy, of caring for the sick, of
burying the dead, of tiding over
the situation until business can be
readjusted and the work Of re.
building homes undertaken, it be-
hooves the South, flushed as it is
with Astounding prosperity, to
show its gratitude and its appre
citation of the demands of humani-
ty, to give and give literally, and
to remember that he who gives
quickly gives doubly, gifts rapid
Embarrassing wealth to the needs
of San Francisco and other strick-
en- cities of California. In every
community, in every business or
ganization from Maryland to Texas
there should be an immediate re-
spouse to the overwhelming needs
of the sadly stricken people of Cal
ifornia. The Times Recorder calls
upon Americas, along with other
prosperous cities, to do her duty in
the premises. Let the Americas
Board of Trade, which takes the
initiative in such matters, call a
public meeting or otherwise super
wise the securing of a relief fund
here for the sufferers.

religion. While "Elijah" has
been blowing in half a million OF

dupes, "ElUah'' Sanford of "'Shi-

Holy Land, from which he has
just returned in his private yacht

Washington, March 23.-The eXecu-

day discussing the replies of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon to
the bill of grievances presented to
them and TO President Pro Tenn Frye,
of the senate regarding legislation af-
fecting labor interests.
Mr.. Gompers said that the conclud-
ing paragraph in the memorial meant
exactly what it said That is, if con-
gress fails to remedy the grievances,
the organization will appeal direct to
the people
IN other words, he said the Fedora.
ton of Labor will enter the field of
politics and urge organized labor to
elect men of their own choosing and
thus have a personal voice in the gov
eminent
There will be further discussions of
the situation by the members of the
council among whom remarks Of the
president and Mr. Cannon have made
deep impression.
Mr.. Gompers insists the council is
in the right regarding the statements
set forth in the bill of grievances, that
it has abundant proof of the represen-
tations made and that the condition
of affairs in the labor world is the best
proof of its contentious.

A recent report has it that a
Washington preacher has adver-
tised a sale of Harriet Lane John
ston's stock of whisky. Mrs
Johnston's, as the beautiful Har-
riet Lane, was the mistress of the
White House in the administra-
tlen of President Buchanan, whose
niece she was. The presidents
private stock of liquors was be-
queathed to her. Apparently it
was never decreased much in her
lifetime. The stock now offered
for sale comprises liquors that
were in the White House cellars in
Buchanan's day.

Two ceremonies in Burma mark when
cliilChood stops and manhood or wom-

thighs t&ttooed and the girls their ears
bored The boring of a girls ears is
commenced with needle, and the

The enlarging process is the one car

Terrible Marine Disaster

Cartagena, Spain, Aug. A terrible
marine disaster occurred last evening
off Cape Palos, Spain, when the Italian
steamship Sirio, from Genoa for Bar
celona, Cadiz Montevidio. and Buenos
Ayres. with about 800 persons on board
was wrecked off Hormigas island and
800 emigrants, most of them Italians
aud Spaniards, were drowned.
The captain of the steamer committed
suicide.
The bishop of Sac Pablo, Brazil, was
drowned while blessing the passengers
of the Sirio The archbishop of Sac
Pedro was saved.
The remainder of the passengers and
the officers and crew got away in the
ships boats or were rescued by means
of boats sent to them from the shore.
A number of fishermen who made
attempts at rescue were drowned.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Polos in pitiable con-
dition, being without food or clothing
The Sirio struck a rocky reef known
as Bajos Hormigaa and sank soon after,
stern first. Hormigas Island lies about
two and a half miles to the eastward of
Cape Palos.
The Sirio was owned by the Navigaz
lone ltaiana of Genoa.

Was Ii Murder?

Death under very suspicious circum
stances, which, IN the minds of nearly
all who have investigated the case
points to murder, occurred during Sat
urday night or Sunday morning, a
tramp, supposed to be Edward McNal-
ly, formerly an employe of the Madison
wooden mills of Madison, being the vic
tim.
The body was found in the barn of
Arthur A. Gleason on the Belgrade road
leadin! from Watervlle, as the latter
was attending to his chores Sunday
morning MIR Gleason had finished the
milking of one COW, when seeing things
slightly disarranged, he walked to the
alleyway leading from the barn to the
s,anchion and met the gruesome sight
of the dead tody of man in sitting
posture, the feet squarely placed and
the body within an inch from the floor.
The body was suspended from cord
tied about the neck and attached to the
beam overhead.
Marks on the body and other indica-
tons point TO foul play. There was
blood spot over the right temple, blood
on the left hand and over the left side
was black and blue spot, which ac-
cording to physicians, might have been
recently caused or might have been the
result of an old injury.
In the pockets were found two pay slips
issued by the Madison Wooden Co
made out to Edward McNally, a small
plug of tobacco, broken piece of look
ing glass and a handkerchief The man
was rather shabbily clothed, with the
exception of a derby which was almost
new The hat was found to be square
ly resting on his head, a fact, which
alone, is sufficient to create in the minds
of many, conviction that murder was
committed.
Near by and few feet from where it
had been standieg the night before, was
pitchfork, the only implement or
article in the barn which could have
used for the inficting of a blow. The
handle of the fork however, bore no
marks of blood.
