$21.000,00O in the eight months ending with February 1870. to 5000. 900 in the first eight months of the fiscal year 1904, and $1S,OOO,O0O in the correspond ing period of 1906.
 It is only within the last ten or twelve years that exports of iron and steel manufactures have exceeded im- ports of like commodities, this change in the relative position of such imports and exports having been about coin cident with the great expansion of pig iron production since 1890. The pro- duction of pig iron in the United States in 1870 was 1.665,179 tons, or little more than the annual average for several preceding years; subsequent to 1870 the annual output huctuated between 1000. 0OO and 4,00O 600 tons un- til 1886, when the total was 5.6S3.S tons; in 1890 1t was 9,2O2, ,TO3 tons, and in 1905. practically 2S,OOO,OOO tons. Thus the growth in domestic produc- tiOn of pig iron in the period from 1870 to 1890 was about 7,5O0.OO0 tons, and in the period from 1890 to 1905. I3, = 750.O0O tons. the last fifteen years hav- ing therefore shown a gain almost double that of the preceding twenty years. The production of steel has also increased rapidly. In 1870 only 6S,750 tons of steel were produced in the United States; in 1880 the total had grown to 1250OOO tons; in 1890, A. 25O,OOO; in 1900, 100000 and for 1904, the latest available year 14.OOO, . 900 tons. Meantime the value of the product of the iron and steel industry in the United States. which in 1870 was S2O7. 900, ,00O, increased to S297. 900. 900 in 1880, SAYS. 9.OO0O OOO in 1890 and $836.- 900, 900 in 1900.

TELLS BY
 THEIR SLEEP

T - AN eC AN - - A
 "I can tell by my little ones sleep when a cold is coming on" said a mother when speaking of the advance symptoms of colds in children. |" They toss about, are rest less, their breathing is heavy and there are symptoms of night sweats. The next morn- ing 1 start with Scott's Emul- sion. The chances are that in a day or two they are all over it. Their rest is again peaceful and the breathing normal"
 Heres a suggestion for all mothers. Scott's Emul- sion always has been almost magical in its action when used as the ounce of preven- ton. Nothing seems to over come child weakness quite so effectively and quickly as Scott's Emulsion.

EXECUTOR CHARGED With FRAUD.
Estate of Wer Governor Of Georgia Agaia
figuring in Courts.

Mary 2. Connally, Elijah Brown,
Sallie Eugenia Brown and George M.
Brown, four of the six children and
heirs OF Joseph B. Brown, war gov
ernor of Georgia, and United States
senator, flied a bill in the superior
court at Atlanta, Ca, Friday, against
Julius L. Brown and Joseph M.
Brown, the remaining heirs and sons
Of Governor Brown, and the execu
tors of his win, and against Peter
Brown, Leon Eplan and Mike Shn-
man
The bill charges that julius L.
Brown as one OF the executors Of
the estate, resorted to a scheme TO
purchase certain realty belonging L,
the estate for $5o25, when its real
value was $4,000, thus allowing him
to make $4,000 wrongfully out Of
the estate
This is charged to have been
fragrant violation Of his duties as ex-
ecltor, and that the sale Of SAM
property to Peter Bsown, Leon Eplan
and Mike Summarize property be-
ing subsequently decided back to Ju-
Illus L. Brown by said purchasers
was in pursuance Of an understanding
between the parties, the several
transactions being characterized as
subterfuges and devices to escape the
rule Of law which does not permit
an executor to purchase at his own
sale, and is charged as a fraud upon
the complaining heirs.

FARMERS PAY
CONVICTS' FINES
In Order to Secure Mich Needed
Help in Making Crops.
GEORGIA LABOR SCARCITY
Demand So Great That Changing
are Depleted Ten Per Cent, Says
Report of Prison Commission.

Another indication of the great
scarcity of labor in Georgia, and this
applies especially to the agricultural
districts, is found in the annual re-
port of the state prison commission,
which is now being prepared by Sec.
rotary Goodloe Yancey, and part OF
which has already been placed in the
hands of the public printer
This report, which is based on Juno
l, shows that there has been a de-
crease of fully 10 per cent in the
number of misdemeanor convicts on
the county chaingangs in Georgia, not
withstanding the fact that there has
been an increase among the felony
convicts.
The explanation OF this is that ow-
ing to the scarcity Of labor, farmers
where they are able to do it are pay
ing the fines Of able-bodied prisoners
and putting them on their plantations
to work it out. 1t is true they take
their chance on getting the equiva.
lent Of the fine in labor, but in so
great need Of labor do they stand
that they are willing to do this and
sometimes even more.
In 1905 the prison commissions re-
port showed 2,283 misdemeanor CON
victs, of whom 152 were white men,
and five white women. The report
this year for June l shows q total
of 2,043 misdemeanor convicts in the
state, Of whom Lightweight are white
men, and only one white woman Had
1t not been for the fact that many far
mers have paid the fines of the men
convicted in order to get their labor,
there is no doubt about the fact that
there would have been an increase
in the number shown on the misde-
meanor gangs
The commissions report shows this
year a total of 2,344 felony convicts,
as against $3.50 in 1905, an increase of
Ga. Notwithstanding an increase in
the total number of felony conyicts,
the number of white felons shows q
considerable decrease as compared
with last year In 1905 there were
284 white men and white women ia
the penitentiary, while this year there
are only 207 white men and white
women. The counties which use fel.
ony convicts on their public roads in
lieu Of receiving proceeds from con-
vict hire for public schools, have at
this time 571 short-term convicts, as
against 537 at the same time last year,
the variation being very slight.
1t is expected the commissions re-
port will be completed printed and
ready for distribution by the time the
legislature meets on June 27.

MASSACRES CONTINUED.
Butchery of Jews in Russian Town
Of B.alvStOk Resumed With
Greater Fury.

A ST Petersburg special says Dis
orders appear to have broken out at
Bialvstok Friday afternoon with even
greater fury than characterized
thursdays riots.
No dispatches are being received
from Bialvstok, where the telegraph
office is closed, but semi-offlcial mes
sages from Grodno and Minsk report
that the excuses were started again
by the throwing of several bombs.
The crowds, according to these dis
paches, then opened fire on the police
station, to which the troops replied,
and there was a constant interchange
of shots between Jews In their hous.
es and sKldiers in the streets. A mob
OF peasants, armed with clubs,
scythes, ejc., who had found their
way into the city, was participating
in the rloting.
The city has been cordoned in or
der to prevent the ingress of more
peasants. Many persons are reported
to have been wounded, but the num-
Der Of dead is said to be compare
lively small. Exact details Of the dis
turbances are lacking, but the pill
Laying is attributed largely to peas
ants from the country.
At St Petersburg the lower house
of parliament read the government
lesson on promptness of investiga-
ton of the Bialvstok outbreak, COM
mittee Of three having been named
and departing Friday for Bialvstok
in the hope that the presence Of rep
resentatiyes Of parliament will check
the disorders and have a salutary Of
feet on reactionary officials if the
charges are true that they are inspir-
ing excesses.
The first evidence to be submitted
to the committee will be proclama-
tions, which, it is asserted, were dis
tributed in the st5nets of Bialystok
the last ten days under the eyes of
the police, calling on the population
to rise against the Jews.

LESTER MEETS DEATH.
Georgia Congressman Falls Though a
SkYlight at Washington and is
Fatally Injured.


A Washington special says: Crash
ing through a skylight in the ctpola
Is feet above the roof of the thirteen
story Cairo apartment house, on 0
street, about $3.50 o'clock Friday night
Colonel R. e. Lester, representative
in congress from Savannah, Ca, was
so badly injured that he died at 6;22
o'clock Saturday night.
Although the physicians summoned
when first Colonel Lester was found,
unconscious, pronounced his injuries
fatal, he made a gallant fight for life.
In a shower of breaking glass his
body fell 30 feet to the 18th floor,
and mis- right leg was mangled, while
his left leg and shoulder were frac-
tured, and his head and body were
cat and bruised.
After climbing a ladder and squeez-
ing his body through hole barely
large enough to admit man, he
crawled out upon the frail glass work
in the darkness and it gave way I'm
der his weight.
The strange accident cannot be ex-
planned satisfactorily, although it is
believed by his relatives that he was
searching for his two little grand
children, Lester and Martha Randolph,
and believed they were hiding from
him in the garnet.
After dinner he was in his usual
jovial spirit, chatting with the guests
of the apartments, where he had lived
for more than eleven years during his
seasons in Washington.
About 9o'clock Friday night, Colonel
Lester made his appearance on the
portico of the Cairo, and asked about
his grandchildren, who have been iiv-
ing with their grandparents since the
death of their mother He appeared
to be disappointed because they were
not playing in their familiar way, and
he sauntered into the house. The chill
dren are six and eight years old, re-
spectively. Although it was only 4
few minutes after ms appearance on
the portico that the accident occurred,
Colonel Lester did not ride up on the
elevator. 1t is regarded as odd that
he should climb the distance from the
ground to the top of the building,
which would fatigue an ordinary man.
NO one saw him, however, after he
passed through the lobby Of the apart
ments until he was picked up uncon-
scious, bleeding from half dozen
gashes 1t is the theory of some Of
his friends that he started out on
the roof Of the hotel to see if the lit
tie ones were not there looking for
airship which made an ascent earlier
in the day.
Of the men now representing Geor-
gia in the national congress, Colonel
Lester has had the longest service
He was elected as representative from
the first district for the fifty-frst con
gress, and has served continuously
since-about seventeen years in ALL

JEWS MOBBED
BY CHRISTIANS
Bloody Butchery Of Hebrews in
Russian iowa Of BiaIvStok.
ACT OF BOMB-THROWER
Jew Anarchist Hurled Deadly Explo-
Sive in Midst OF a Procession ano
Riot EasueS.

A Jewish anarchist threw a bomb
among the Corpus Christi procession,
which was in progress at Bialvstok,
Russia, Thursday and killed or wound
ed many persons. In consequence,
the Christians attacked and massa-
cred the Jews and demolished their
shops. Hundreds of persons were
killed or wounded. Anarchy prevails
in the city.
The bomb was thrown from the bal
cony OF a house in Alexandroy street.
Immediately after the explosion,
Jews began to fire with revolvers
from the windows Of the house into
the crowd. Soldiers surrounded the
house and fired two volleys into the
windows. Meanwhile the enraged
Christians attacked the Jewish stores
in Alexandroy and Suraz streets, de-
molishing the fixtures and windows
and throwing the goods into the gut
ters and beating and numbering the
Jews. A crowd of Jews fed to the
railroad station, pursued by the
mob, which killed many Of them
there. Three Jews were thrown from
the second story windows Of the rail
road station building.
The Jews are fleeing from Bialvs-
tok to the neighboring forests and
the mobs are pursuing them Detach-
ments Of dragons have been sent
out to protect the Jews
The latest dispatches from Bialvs.
tok, which were received in st. Pc
tersburg about midnight, Thursday,
report a situation Of the utmost gray
ity. The anti-Jewish outbreak there
was still raging, fighting was in prog
ress in the streets, the firing was
continuous, the best stores in the city
had been sacked and many were dead
or wounded. Figures, however, were
not given, and probably the casualties
are not known in Bialvstok, owing to
the continuance Of disorders.
The Jews, who number three-fourths
Of the population of the city, offered
the best resistance possible, many Of
them being armed, but were unable
to prevent the pillaging Of their
homes and places of business. Final
ly the military interfered, but ac-
cording to advices received, with
out being able to restore order. Re-
Inducements have been rushed to
Bialystok from Grodno.
Several members of parliament on
Wednesday night received messages
from Jewish correspondents at Bialvs-
tok, declaring that the police appar-
emily had given over the Hebrew pop.
ulation to slaughter and pillage. These
correspondents urged that the only
hope was in an appeal to the minis
ter Of the interior to interfere in their

mediately called at the headquarters
Of the police department, where they
We're informed that all measures pos
sjble had been aiken to stop excuses
and restore order.

VOTE TN HOUSE
F0RL0CKCANAL
Members in Committee Of the Whole
Favor That Type.
BY A LARGE MAJORITY
Tremendous Interest Was Manifested
When Important Question Was
Brought Up For Disposition.

In committee Of the whole, Friday,
the house, by a vote of ITO to "a,
voted in favor of a lock canal across
The isthmus Of Panama, the amend
ment to this effect being presented
by Representative Littauer of New
York.
With members Of congress sitting
0n the short steps in the aisles Of the
house, around the space in front Of
the speakers desk, with large mem
bership CT the lower branch of con-
.gress, with the galleries filled and
with Mr.. Burton, Of Ohio, pointer in
hand indicating by charts differ
eence between sea level anu Jock ca
nal, the house presented every ap-
DearQnce CT the class room of a great
university.
Mr.. Burton, on Thursday, gave no
tice that when the item in the sun
dry civil bill was reached appropri-
'ating upward Of $25,0OO,OOO he would
ask for an hour in which to present
his views On the lock level type Of
Panama canal.
He prefaced his remarks by stat
ing that in the so-called Spooner law,
authorizing the expenditure of $685.
O00,00G for the Panama canal, and
giving the president the right to in
augurate this movement and carry
1t to a successful conclusion, the type
was left with the president with Ger
cain specifications and limitations.
He said that lately there had been
a strong agitation for a sea Level ca
nal, and he believed that the time
had come when the question of type
should be settled and the matter re-
moved from the domain of controvec-
sy Continuing, he said:
ut is net fair to the president and
10 the executive officers of the gov
eminent who have this great enter
prise in charge to say to them, PRO
coed with the canal with all the speed
you may and with another breath to
say that we have not yet made up
our minds what kind of canal you
shall build It is unjust to the subor-
dinates who have gone to the isthmus
TO give the best years of their lives
and their best efforts to hamper and
sembarrass them by failing to decide
this question"
Taking up his position in front
of the maps, he called attention to
the vital difference between the two
types and remarked that when the
topography is considered it would be
the very strongest argument for the
lock level canal.
He said thirty-four Of the ablest
engineers Of the world favored the
lock level type and he believed this
Judgment schould be accepted
Mr.. Bartlett of Georgia made a
point against the amendment of Mr..
Littauer. He insisted that the amend
ment was clearly new legislation and
argued the question from that prem
Use.
The chair, Mr.. Watson, Of Indiana,
aeId the amendment was in order and
cries Of "yote, vote" were heard.
Without further discussion the Lit
tauer amendment was adopted.
