Pure Food Checks in Demand.
In anticipation of the pure food
law the department of agriculture at
the state capitol has been flooded with
requests and checks from various
manufacturers without the state. who
are anxious to brand all consignments
of food stuffs shipped into this state
properly, and are ordering the special
stamps for this purpose, in aAyance.
In explaining this law, Captain
Wright, assistant commissioner of az.
riculeture, says: Instead of selling
tags for inspection of food stuffs. as is
now the case with fertilizers and cot
ton meal, sold in the state, we are is
suing inspection stamps, at the rate
Of twenty cents g ton to be placed
on all food stufs sold in Georgia.
The price on fertilizer Inspections is
ten cents a ton, at present. We are
going out to see that all food stuffs
shipped into Georgia are as pure as
the specifications filed with us claim.
under this head oils used as condii-
ments will be tested. The large guam
tity of olive oil, sold and used as
condiment, is nothing but our own
pure cotton seed oil under French
brand. We contend that cotton oil is
purer and better from a vegetable
standpoint than olive oil, and this in
spection will make each oil stand on
its own merits"

A recent visitor to Forest coonty re-

other black. The mother sheep refused
to have anything to do with the white
lamb in maternal way and the white
outcast was in danger of starving to death

Mlnnesota's More Important Than
North Cardinals.
Washington, Oct. 30.-Testimony in
the North Carolina rate cases, where
In Judge Pritchard of the federal cir
cult court sought to restrain the state
officials from putting in the rates es-
tablished by the state legislature, is
now being taken before a master at
the Offices of the Southern Railway in
Washington.
The purpose of the taking of testi-
mony and the securing Of the balance
sheets of the Southern Railway is to
ascertain whether or not the rates es-
tablished by the state were conflsca-
tory.
The Minnesota case differs from that
Of North Carolina In some respects in
that Federal Judge Lochren actually
declared in substance that the rates,
as provided for in the commodity rate
law Of April 10 last, were confiscatory
and that he took into consideration
and passed upon the evidence submit
ted by the roads bearing on this ques-
ton.
In North Carolina the Southern Rail-
way gave up its fight in the face of
Governor Glenn's threat to dissolve it
and the stockholders of the line did
not come to the rescue of the officers
as in the Minnesota case. Hence the
latter case is more important mas
much as it will be the first to be re-
viewed by the federal supreme court.

FRANCIS E. lUEPP SAYS
INDIANS SHOULD Be FREE.
Commissioner Believes indians Should
Be Classified and Later Given
Freedom.

Washington, Oct. 29.-With a
view of the government cutting loose
from the Indians of this country at
the earliest practicable moment,
Francis E. Leupp, commissioner of
Indian affairs, has under considera-
ton plan to take census of the
Indians touching their educational
qualifications and the ability to
handle thei- own business affairs.
He proposes to classify them into
three classes, the first class to be
composed of Indians who are CON-
petent to run their own affairs,
the second to be composed of
those who know the meaning of a
contract and the third class to be
composed of those who are abso-
lutely incompetent to transact bust
ness.
Mr.. Leupp believes that the
government should cut entirely loose
from the first class of Indians. He
doesn't believe they should be given
any protection from the government.
AS to the second class of Indians,
he says the government probably
should prevent them from selling
their land, especially their home
steads, but that it should let them
60 ahead and make their own con-
tracts for leasing and the like; then
if they get the worst of it let them
suffer. If they get their eye teeth
cut in few deals they will learn to
be more careful in their business
transactions. The Indians of the
third class still would have to be
protected by the government until
they acquired a few rudiments of
business. Then they would be
turned loose to shift for themselves.
The best thing that could happen
to big portion of the Indians would
be to lose every dollar and every
foot of land they have" Commits
sioner Leupp said. Then they
would have to get down and work
for living. That would make in
dustrious citizens out of them. They
would be better off and so would
this couhtry."

fore navigation closes.
The Duluth board Of trade is doing
no trading. The trading room is open,
but the members have agreed to make
no trades until the financial clouds
have passed. The action was neces-
sary for the same reason that the
Western banks had to suspend pay
ment Of Eastern checks. Duluth
grain firms are large exporters and
they were paying out their cash in re-
turn for clearing house checks on New
York banks. The country elevators
have ceased buying grain for the pres
ent, but are taking for storage.
