NJ my CARLOADS OF AMERICAN
CATTLE ARE SHIPPED TO MEXICO
Since Duty Was Taken OF, Ranchers
of the Republic Have Made In
creased Purchases of Stock

Since the duty was taken off Amer
lean cattle by the Mexican Government
carloads have been crossing the line to
replenish the rundown ranches in some
parts of Mexico, states the Mexican
Investor. Almost every day carloads
of cattle can be seen passing through
Monterey to points in the southern part
of the republic.
Most of the cattle imported from
Texas and points farther north are
fine bred. OF late many fine milch
cows have been Shipped in from Illi-
nois, Kentucky, and other States noted
for fine cattle. These are going to
Mexico City and vicinity for the dairies
which are springing up in that part of
the republic. Most of the fine breed
of cattle are coming from the Northern
States of the United States and cattle
for the ranches are being shipped
mostly from Texas, Arizona and other
southwestern States. At the present
rate it will not take long to supply
Mexico with fine cattle, both for the
range and the dairies.

FARMERS IN CHINA WORK HARD
AND RECEIVE SCANT RETURNS
Raise Crop of Rice Corn That Does
Not Support Family Dur
ing the Year

Harry L. Paddock. Consul at Annoy
transmits the following report on farm
ers and scale of wages paid in China:
The farmer is up before daybreak
and at work in his sterile flelds-fields
whose productivity has been exhausted
except under high fertilization-and he
returns to his little shanty after night
fall. To the view of the foreigner he
never rests, and for this never-ending
labor he raises a crop of rice or corn
that does not support his family for the
year. His clothing consists of a loin
cloth in summer and a coarse cotton
suit in winter. He is simply an exam
pie of all the laborers and artisans of
China. All work hard to live and all
receive a compensation commensurate
with that of the farmer. The follow
ing scale of wages will give some idea
of the daily returns received for labor
done Gin United States gold) Laborer,
10 cents; mason, Is cents; artisan, 10 to
20 cents; clerk, 40 to so cents.

TWO BRIDGES IN CITY
Old Bridges on Barlow
and Lee
REPLACED BY SEABOARD RAILWAY
City Council Adopts Resolution Re-
quiring Railway Company to Re-
place Old Bridges With
Modern Ones.
REPLACED BY SEABOARD RAILWAY

| Steel bridges, or modern structures
built of concrete, are to replace tho two
old wooden bridges on Lee and Barlow
streets now spanning the Seaboard
Air Line Railway. Council has issued
the edict, and the new bridges must be
built
Such action was taken at the recent
meeting of that body, and the resolu.
ton adopted is published with the
regular proceedings.
The new bridges must be either OF
steel or concrete.
The railway company will, within
specified time, submit to council and
city engineer, plans for the proposed
bridges, and the new structures must
be completed within four months from
tbs date of acceptance of such plans.
The old wooden bridges now in use
were built many years ago by the old
Georgia and Alabama Railway. They
have long since served their useful
ness, and the city council deemed them
unsafe, by reason of several accidents
there.
The new bridges will be of attractive
and Will conform to the
street grade.

While the barber makes many close

The conductors life is not happy
one at best, and less so is that of the
conductors on the Central of Georgia
Railway since the Company, day or
two ago, placed auditor on all pass
enger trains whose duty it will be to
help the conductor take care of cash
fares and tickets, particularly the cash,
and otherwise Tighten his arduous
labor.
A day or two ago when the con-
ductors of the various trains reported
for service each was surprised to find
an auditor ready to make the run with
him.
1t was contemplated that, as the con-
ductor went through the train, the
auditor should accompany him and
take up all tickets and fares. But that
wasn't to the conductors liking, and
within a short time the general mana
ger was informed that the conductors
