Many Sheep i'm Blaine County.

Blaine county collected taxes upon
217,00S sheep last year. The total Of
sheep in this county at that time was
probably thrice as large; but as many
were in for less than four months and
the law requires that the assessment
of sheep shall be reduced to the
equivalent for year, the number
first stated Is what was assessed as IL
for a whole year. The actual number

Lighter Strawberry Crop.

Very few strawberry pickers have
come in as yet, except a few Indians,
while last year at this time there
were a good many on the ground.
The scarcity of labor this year may
make it hard to get picke-s, outside
of the Indians, although the reduced
yield will help out the situation.-

TIT COUNTY FEELS GRATEFUL

Many of Tifton's citizens, who
took pal in the new county contest
before the legislature last summer,
note with interest Hon. Crawford
Wheatley's announcement as a can
didate tie represent the Third Geor-
gia district in congress. Mr..
Wheatley was chairman of the SEN
ate committee on new counties, and
it was the hard work done by the
two committees and the unanimity
with which they laid aside all diff
ferences and pushed the eight
chosen bills through the house and
senate that made the creation of
the entire eight counties at the last
session possible. Had they shown
the least hesitation or faltered for
one moment, probably the entire
eight bills would have gone over
to the next session, and the devel-
opment of eight sections of the
state retarded for twelve months,
if some of them had won out even
then. Tiff, as well as the other
seven new counties, owe Mr..
Wheatley, Mr.. Hall and the entire
membership of the committees a
debt of gratitude, to which the
chairman, by virtue of his posi-
ton, is entitled to the larger share.

Results Obtained in Large Institution


The Importance of disinfection Is shown
by the results obtained at the Brooklyn
Home for Consumptives, the finest institu-
ton of the kind in New York. m A letter
from the President is quoted:1
"We have used Platt's Chlorides in Che
Brooklyn Home for Consumptives for more
than ten years, and find it not only CON-
fort but a necessity. Through its use we
defy the germs to make any inroads on
the nurses and employees who are in con-
slant attendance upon the sick. one hun
bred of whom are now in the institution.
One nurse has been there well on to ten
years, a second almost as long, and not one
person ever employed in the Home has de-
veloped lung trouble. Mrs. S. v. White,

through the Southern forest, past
the maize fields and the cotton

In an instant everything APP

"Way Down Upon De Suwanee

wave it IN the evening air; the
stream seemed to sing as it hustled
over the rocks; the birds in the
thickets had it in the soft musical
notes we caught, and the crickets
and katydids beginning their sun
set chirrup joined in the half heard
chorus. The journey was no long
er monotonouS.
To be "way down upon de Su-
vance Riber' was to have come to
corner of America dedicated to
that deep emotion of our common
humanity-the love Of home. Is

while listening we were reminded
of letter written to a London pa

which the line was carried across
structures which, until you be-

travel, always make you wonder
whether they will carry the train
safely over. The river ran down
from the Georgia hills in lively
current, broken sometimes into
rapids and little cataracts where
the red and black rocks lay across
its channel, and then widened out
into picturesque reaches bordered
by thickets of dark green foliage
and elumps of cypress and willow

around which you could see little

 Peculiar Moves.
CLOSE WAS VERY STEADY

New York, January 25.-The recurrent attacks on prices in the stock market were much more persistent today than any previous day of the week and their tone which has been shown for several days gave way to more positive re- action. The speculation party on the long side of the market confined their opera 4ions largely to protective measures and they made no very aggressive efforts to lift prices eomprehensively to a higher level There were constant rallies from the recurrent reactions and supporting orders came into the market when the break in prices looked threatening. The closing tone in fact was strong after 8 vigorous recovery. But as often as the strengthening has proceeded to any ex- tent renewed offerings of stock came on the market
 This selling was in large part continued realizing and as soon as it's character be- came perceptible the professional opera tors on the bear side offered prices down to take the market away from those seeking profits. Technical market conditions were the only influences on tho days trading and the only news consisted of rumors regarding the market position of individuals and parties. Of this char hcter were the rumors as to the extent of the liquidation already effected by the largest operators in the recent market. Very impressive reports were. current of the extent of lines of Reading said to have been accumulated by a millionaire in the steel industry which have been

 Additional impression was caused in the same connection by the manner in when Tennessee coal was let down over 10 points and then quite readily restored to above yesterdays price owing to the association in the control of this property Of the ln- terests advocating sales of stocks.
 The belief was prevalent also that an enormous speculative holding in the cop per stocks had been liquidated, leaving the operators who had taken their prohts disposed to withdraw support from the market and to favor lower prices. Ihe continued active speculation in Union "a cjfc hinged largely upon the industrious surnnise over the coming dividend The impression was created by the expression of ostentatious anxiety that much Of the information pointing to the Increase In the dividend has been unfounded, leaving ground for disappointment to those who have bought the stock on the strength or this information. As to the actual inten- lions of the directors with regard to the coming dividend there was absolutely no authoritative information. The money market continued free from pressure.
 But the weeks movement of currency give no such promise of replenishment of bank cash as has been shown for two weeks past. Sub-treasury operators nave yielded to the banks thus far this week only S1, ,570,0O0 compared with $6,9S2,0oO in the corresponding period of last week. This does not cover all, for the withdraw als of gold shipments to Mexico and Ar gentina have deprived the banks of sz,- 3SO,O00 in the same period. Foreign ex- change was firmer again today, and the sterling exchange rate declined at Paris The Bank of England in its weekly state ment showed a gain on bullion of up- wards of $7,000,000 but the heavy loan expansion of over $2o.0ooo0o kept down the proportion of its reserves to liabilities and indicated the continued policy of the bank to strengthen Its control of the open money market.
