CAYENNE Pepper Makes Red Cana
rieS

The beautiful red color so often
seen in canaries is achieved in this
way: just before the time for
shedding the feathers arrives and
during the melting season, the
bird is fed on crackers and eggs
highly seasoned with cayenne
nepper. This treatment quickly
Changes the feathers to a deep
reddish hue, but must be given at
every melting season or the natual
lirht yellow feathers will reap
near. The New Idea.

REPUBLICANS DUMFOUNDED
The Trouble Between the Senate and
the President Has Caused
Much Alarm.

A Washington dispatch says many
prominent republicans are dumb
founded at the state which has been
reached in the conflict between the
president and the senate. The rejec-
ton by the senate of the nominations
of four Ohio postmasters, admittedly
at the behest of the Ohio senators
and for factional political reasons,
is regarded as reaching almost the
proportions of a crisis, and has in
tensifed the desire for early adjourn
ment of the session. With such a
state of feeling existing between the
executive and the repub-
lican majority in the senate, it is
regarded as highly desirable that
congress should hurry up it's work
and go home. 1t might be possible
thus to avoid some more serious out
break

LAWS BESIDES PROHIBITION.
Charged Judge Moses Wright From
the Bench in Rome.

Judge Moses Wright of the Rome
circuit, who is well-known in this
section, having presided over a num-
Der of the courts in the Pataula cir
cult for Judge Sheffield, and who is
brother of Hon. Seaborn Wright,
who lead the fight for state prohibi-
ton in the legislature, said in his
charge to the Floyd county grand
jury few days ago:
Il am not blood thirsty for VIC
lators of the prohibition law. The
law is on the statute books and must
be enforced, but do not deceive your
selves into thinking it is the only law.
If we are to believe the newspapers
of the state there are a lot of judges
in Georgia who have lost sight of
everything else in their anxiety to
see a poor blind tiger put on the
changing. The crime of carrying
concealed weapons is worse than any
other misdemeanor on the calendar.
| would rather see one man sent to
the gang for carrying pistol in his
hip pocket than see ten convictions
for other offenses."
Judge Wright's remarks have at
tracted considerable attention, and
some comment in north Georgia.

the place again if he wanted it, is
not a candidate for reelection, and
as it stands now the candidates SO
far announced are Flood of Virginia,
Lloyd of Missouri and Bowers of
Mississippi. The indications are said
to favor the election of Flood, but
the friends of Bowers and Lloyd both
insist they are in the race.
cit is quite apparent says Rep
resentative Ryan, in discussing the
matter, that if the democrats are
to control the next house they must
gain members in the north and west.
Hence, the chairman of the commit
tee should be a man familiar with
the conditions there. We know what
the south can do, and while the
southern chairmen have done well
they cannot be expected to know the
situation in the north and west.

ENGINES LIE IDLE IN YARDS.
CentraIs Moguls Stand PulseIess as
Evidences of Adverse Conditions.

CentraI's Moguls Stand Pulseless as
Evidences of Adverse Conditions.
In Americas yesterday was well
known Maconian who, while hopeful
of an early return of better business
conditions. related instances which
emphasized the effect of the depres-
sion brought about by the recent
financial stringency and the hostility
towards railways in the state. In
the Macon yards of the Central, he
said, were a large number of freight
locomotives entirely out of service,
as they have been for weeks past.
Decreased business, as the result of
legislative and administrative at
tacks, together with conditions gen
orally, had put these engines and
crews out of business. The lOcomo-
tives are painted white to prevent
rusting. and there they stand, pulse
less. grim evidences of adverse con-
ditions in Georgia. A year ago there
were not enough engines available
to- handle the enormous freight
traffic on the Central, but conditions
are sadly changed now.-Americus
