for that figure.

An Advertising Proposition.

A lady named Georgia A. Shirtly was
before the board of supervisors last
Monday with proposition to boom the
county by an advertising scheme. She
is said to be a representative of the
Southern Pacific Company. Her pro-
position was to have inserted in the
Sunset Magazine one-page advertise
ment for period of one year, with the
privilege of changing the article each
monthly issue, The charge for this
service was to be $3.50 per month, max
ing a total of $500 for the year. In
addition to the advertising 10000 book
lets were to be printed illustrative of
the resources of Amador county, and
circulate them through the states of the
east and middle west The figure looks
big to the nninitiated, but providing the
booklet to be thrown in should amount
to anything reasonable as an exposi-
ton Of the county, it cannot be said to
be extravagant, however, we do not
believe in going to disinterested parties
for such work. Amador needs advertiS-
ing boosting as badly as any part of the
state, but the most effective work in that
direction could be had from those who
are individually interested in bringing
new settlers into the county. The
supervisors took no action on the pro-
position.

CABANIss HEARING FRIDAY.
Former Macon Banker Will Renew
His Fight For Liberty. y

A Macon dispatch says attorneys
representing J. w. Cabaniss have set
September 3rd as the date for the
hearing on the motion for a new
trial. The motion will be argued
before Judge U. V. Whipple in Cor
dele. All the evidence, according to
order, had to be in court by August
18th. This requirement was met,
and the date for hearing the argu-
ment on the motion was then set.
This fight for a new trial will be
made a very hard one, and every eff
fort will be made to set aside the
verdict.
G. M. Orr, cashier of the bank of
which Cabaniss was president and
who was convicted a year or more
ago and sentenced to seven years
in the penitentiary, is still enjoying
freedom, as the court of appeals has
never rendered a decision on the ap-
peal for a new trial.

HERE'S A MILLION-DOLLAR BUG.
He Is in the Trust, Yet No Law Can
Reach Him.


The million-dollar bug is what the
government experts call him. Scien-
tifcally he is the white pine weevil
This fellow is in the trust, yet no
law can reach him. He and his
brothers and sisters have combine
on the future lumber supply-a COM
bine that has reused the federal gov
eminent How the strong federal
arm must attack him is a serious
question. The best results seem to
lie in the bills of birds.
The loss to the white pine inter
ests each year runs up into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, some
estimates making the loss about ST.
100000. These weevil attack the
white pine in the bark, so guttering
and Smelling as to cause the trees
to die.
The white pine supply for the mar
kets has been falling off year by year
until it is now a problem enlisting
the best brain as to how to destroy
the white pine weevil, and restore to
the future it's white pine lumber de-
mands.
This spotted, independent, saucy-
looking, bayonet-nosed weeVil is now
under the hammer of science, and a
bird that will dig into the young
pine bark and kill it is wanted, and
wanted badly. When it is found
thousands of them will be encour-
aged to grow and make a home in
the white pine regious to feast on
million-dollar bugs.

UNFORTUNATE EDUCATOR.
Well-KnOwn Southern Astronomer

Is Forced to Sharpen Scissors.
After having devoted tifty-eight
years of his life to a study of the
solar system Prof. J. H. Swindell,
formerly a well-knOwn southern edu-
Gator, is today a scissors sharpener
on the streets of Atlanta, Ga. Pro-
fessor Swindell became totally deaf
several years ago, and was forced to
give up his place in the faculty of
a well-known southern university
His study having fitted him for moth
ing better he was forced to take up
manual labor to earn livelihood,
when he could no longer teach.
Even now in his poverty he still con-
tinues his researches, and only lately
has published a book in which he
declares that the real distance to the
sun is 95,740,140 miles; that the
moon does not revolve on an axis, for
if that were true from some point of
the earth both sides would be visible
at the same time. The book also
makes many other interesting asser-
tions.

FOR A NEGRO EXPOSITION
r. r. WRIGHT BEHIND PLAN TO
SHOW RACE PROGRESS.
Would Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversa-
~ of Emancipation With ''Oblit-
Grafton of Bitter Association"

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Prof. R. R.
Wright, colored, president of the
Georgia State Industrial College, has
returned to the city very much en-
Unused over the reception that, has
been accorded his plan to have the
negroes of the south celebrate the
fftieth anniversary of emancipation
with an exposition in 1918.
Professor Wright has just re-
turned from a 5,000-mile tour of the
country during the course of which
he tested the sentiment regarding
the exposition of prominent leaders
of the race.
Recently at Louisville Booker T.
Washington enthusiastically Endorsed
the proposal, and it is an accepted
conclusion that negroes, irrespective
OF location or vocation, will give
their cooperation.
Held in Southern City.
Logically, of course" said Pro-
lessor Wright, AN exposition of this
character and significance would be
held in a southern city. Macon, Sa-
Yannah, Atlanta, New Orleans, or
some other representative modern
city will be selected as the site. l
am particularly anxious, also, that
the federal government should par
uclpate, and 1 am hopeful of success
IN this direction"
President Wright is president of
the National Teachers Association,
which held its seventh annual ses-
sion in Asheville, N. c., June 22nd,
when the idea of the racial exposi-
ton was unqualifiedly Endorsed.
Other representative bodies have ex-
tended the movement their sanction.
False Conception of Emancipation.
We want to obliterate," said
Wright, 1.-The old bitter associations
mat in measure still characterize
emancipation celebrations and the
era to which emancipation gave
birth.
1t is our plan to strip the occa-
sion, on its fiftieth anniversary, OF
all political or prejudicial meaning,
and place it purely upon the basis
oL demonstrating what the negro has
wrought toward his own salvation,
ana what he is capable further OF
erecting in the same avenues.

NEW YORK.-More than a thou
sand friends of William Grevel, for
twenty-five years general manager of
Fleischmann' Vienna Model Bakery,
and second vice-president of the cor
pOration, the bread line of which has
been an institution for almost half a
century, attended his funeral in ST.
Marks German Lutheran church
last night. Their attention had been
called to his sudden death by the
insertion in yesterday afternoon S
newspapers of a death notice Mr.
Grevel had written on April oath,
1903.
The notice, the original of which
was in his handwriting, except for
the words written in the blank
spaces, was sent to the newspapers
yesterday from his home, 95 East
Tenth street. 1t reads as follows:
GREVEL-Even in death 1 greet

Kept Coffin in 'Den.'
The coffin was made fourteen
years ago after a design furnished
by Grevel, who even then began to
prepare for death. The coffin will
contain his ashes after his body is
cremated. This coffin has been kept
in his den" in Atlantic Highlands.
1t stood amid a collection of skulls
and bones.
''If die" he had told his friends
