Fremen May Be
Licensed by State

Atlanta, Ca, June 28.-Among the
bills to be introduced by the Fulton
county delegation in the lower house
is an act to create board of cxami-
ners to examine candidates for posi-
tions as locomotive ftamen. approve
or disquahfy them and issue licenses
to such as may pass the prescribed
examination,
The proposed bill fixes generally
the limitations and powers of the
board Of examiners, who shall have
themselves been fremen of not less
than three years experience, and
shall be five in number 1t also pro-
vides that any fireman running on
locomotive without such license, in
good standing, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and punished as pre-
scribed in the criminal code OF this
state.
1t is understood that this prospec-
tive legislation is a direct result Of
the recent strike Of the brotherhood
firemen on the Georgia railroad, set
tlement Of which is still pending by
arbitration If the act is passed and
becomes a law, it is expected to have
the effect of reducing to minimum
the number of negro fremen eligible
to run on locomotives in the state
of Georgia.

the floor in the bungalow where the
murder was committed. 1t evidently

ST. Michaels, Md, June 2S-The cor
oner's inquest into the death of Edith
May Woodill was resumed this after
noon. with several of the jurors still
convinced there was a large element
of truth in the letter left by Lame
Bob Eastman, the fugitive broker
and suicide, who declared there had
been party at his bungalow and
that Mrs Woodill had been attacked
with a champagne bottle and slain
by jealous woman

lieved now that a definite verdict win
be rendered by the Jury, and it is
certain, no matter what may be the
outcome o. the inquest that the in

Theories as to how, when and why
the murder was committed are borne

turning from Baltimore. after pawn

joked with his acquaintances, showed
them roll of bills, and conducted
himself in the coolest possible man

body became known and he was told
he had better not leave the county.
1t is then he made his plans to es-
cape, and, failing III that, to take his
own life. Members of=the coroner's
jury animated that the Investigations

in the launch coming out of Broad

rest at any moment. Upon what they
base such claim is not known.

HUNDRED HANDS
BEGIN WORK ON
TROLLEY LINE
ACTIVE WORK or TRACK LAYING
WAS COMMENCED YES
nERDAY MORNING.
Line on Gloucester Street from cOck-
ran Avenue to Newcastle Street
Will Be Built First-WOrk is to Be
Rapidly Pushed.

With practically one hundred men
at work, the City and Suburban Rail-
way company yesterday started active
work on Brunswiek's electric street
car system, with the announcement
that the work would be pushed with
all rapidity.
The first work was started at the
corner OF Gloucester street and Coch-
ran avenue. This point was selected
because of the fact that considerable
BY the material is stored in this vicin-
ity. The poles and ties were placed
there some time ago and the two car
loads of railroad iron which arrived
last week, was also placed on a side
track on Cochran avenue, The work,
therefore, will tie pushed from this
point. and before the end of the pres
ent week the ties and rail will be
down on Gloucester street from
Cochran avenue to Newcastle street.
The track is to be laid as rapidly as
the grading is finished and the ties
laid and within a few days trucks will
be placed on the track and these will
be used TO remove the rail. In this
way the rail can be quickly trans
ported from where 1t is stored to the
scene of extension.
A sufficient amount of track Is
now on hand to complete the line
from Cochran avenue to Newcastle
and by the time this is completed it
is expected that a schooner win ar
rive with a full cargo of rail. When
Newcastle is reached two forces viii
be put to work, one laying track down
the street towards Hanover park and
the other building the line north
ward.
Il may be that construction cars
will be put to work within two months.
These can be operated to great ad-
vantage over the road, as they can be
used to haul the ties. rail etc. It is
also announced that before the end Of
the week the present large sorce Of
workmen will be joined BY others
While there has been some delay,
which was unavoidable in beginning
active work on the car line. it is now
the purpose of the company TO push
it and it is believed that when the
time Of the franchise expires the COM
pany viii have the required four miles,
and probably more. in operation.
The construction work yesterday
was viewed " a number Of citizens,
who watched the beginning Of what

rAGE FIFTEEN
FARMER OR PLOWMAN?

Farming is a business, and to be
profitable must be done in business
like way says Clarence H. Poe in the
Progressive Farmer The man who
plows is plowman, not Necessarily a
farmer. The farmer is the man who
directs and manages the farm. And
while the plowman and the farmer
may be, and often should be, COM
bined in one man, we have he'd in the
past all too many plowmen, and too
few farmers.
For this reason we urge every one
of our readers to consider carefully
all of his own conditions and sur
roundings this winter SO that when
he begins his farm work next season
he may go at it with some definite
plan and with some hope and ex-
pectation of accomplishing a certain
definite result Until we place our
farming on some such basis as this,
and cease to be guided by outworn
traditions or to trust to blind chance
and luck, we can scarcely expect
to make farming either profitable
or a dignified calling.

WHAT GOOD CULTURE rs,

In the modern rush for the spray
pump for the alienation of fruit ills,
some people have forgotten the Oldest
and most reliable preventive of dis
ease-good culture. By good culture
is meant the care that the plants need
in order to produce the most and the
best fruit. This means first of all,
well-nourished plants. If tree is
healthy and we'll nourished, like
man, it is better able to resist and
throw off disease than if poorly nour-
shed. True, good culture alone will
not keep plants free from disease,
but the prevalence of many diseases
is influenced in no small degree by
the conditions under which the
plants are grown. Give the plants
the care and culture they need and
secure in return more and better
fruit.-Farm and Ranch.

PROFIT IN CAMPHOR TREES.

The United States Department of
Agriculture will adopt the method of
cultivating the camphor tree in this
southern country which was suggest
ed by the postmaster at Orange,
Texas, James B. Sargent. Several
years ago Mr.. Sargent planted a few
camphor trees and found that they
thrived in this climate He demon
strated the fact that one acre will
produce about 10000 which will net
the producer all the way from $1,000
to $1,000. His plan is to plant the
seed, using about the same method
used in planting cotton and to NOW
the growth with an ordinary moving
machine, after which it is distilled
and the gum extracted.-Texas Farm

What Our Farmers Are Saying and Doing

this line of business and plant pecan
trees only; not at all; but plant
pecan trees and raise crops between
them, and by fertilizing and making
the crop, the trees will get the bene-
tit, and as they grow and shade the
soil further every year, let them have
the ground to themselves. Do not
disturb the ground by deep blowing
close to the trees or you will iniure
them and check their growth. Sup
pose you plant an acre; plant the
trees SO feet apart; that would take
only II trees. The cost of the trees
is insignificant compared with the re-
turns in compared period If they
bring you 40 pounds of nuts when
ten years old, which they surely will
do if you give them care, and sell
those nuts at rs cents a pound that
would be $40 tree or $170 for II
trees This is low estimate and the
trees will grow up to that, and with
good care will do considerably better
and all that while you use the ground
between for something else.

FACTS ABOUT A PECAN TREE.

The statement that a twelve-year-
old pecan tree bore a crop of nuts
which sold for $40 may sound like
story; it is, however the plain truth.
Though this be an exception rather
than a general rule it does show what
care and attention will do. l will
try in the following to give the facts
in detail: In the early spring of 1892,
rs CRAFTS were made by the party
owning this tree, and only two grew.
In 1893 one of the trees was planted
about Is feet from the owners resi-
dence. For two or three years it
made but scant growth, but when
once we'll established it made up for
lost time The tree has had the best
of care since planted and has borne
for five years. This it's sixth crop
amounted to 100 pounds Of nuts; 80
pounds of same were sold to party
for $40.
IN regard to saying that such
tree and it's crop beats trucking, do
not want to say that one shall give up
