LAND OF THE MUTTON BIRD
They Are Reported by Thousands on
These Islands, and the Eggs
Find a Market Also.

There are hundreds of islands
among those lying between Australia
and Tasmania which from a distance
look like mere barren rocks, but on
closer examination prove to be fer
tile territory, many of the islands be-
ing inhabited by white communities
or native and half-caste people who
have occupied them for many years
as trappers of mutton birds for ex-
port to Tasmania and for their own
consumption. The average catch on
one island is about 100000 birds
year, and the income from this source
amounts to between $4,000 and
$35, 700.
The dark-skinned people who oc-
cupy Cape Barren Island are of all
shades, from the mere suggestion of
tint to pure black, and they have
been of this variegated skin color for
nearly 100 years. There is school
on this island attended by 60 or 20
children, the teacher being paid by
the TasmanIan government, which
satisfies its conscience in respect to
these unfOrtunates by merely giving
them instruction in "the three RS"
and taking no. further trouble to
practical account when they have
finished their period of school, They
are naturally nomadic in their in
stincts and do not know how to Or
ganize their affairs, hence as soon
as they leave their school they take
on the mode of life of their elders,
living well when birds are plentiful,
and going short to q greater or less
extent in the off season.
On AlbatrOss Island the bird the
place is named after matches out it's
young, and it is said that this is the
only known place in the world where
the bird makes it's nest an old theo-
ry being that these mysterious crea-
lures Matched out their young on
their backs, a theory no doubt alb
surd, yet fOrgivable in the early days
when nobody had discovered their
Matching place. Mutton birds flock
on various islands in the vicinity in
myriads, and the eggs Of various
birds abound in such large numbers
that shiplOads of them could be gath
cred with comparatively little
trouble. 1t is said that numbers of
eggs from these islands find their
way into markets and are sold as
duck eggs, which they resemble in
appearance and flavor.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The prison COM
mission has declined to recommend a
pardon or communication of sentence
to present service to Isadore Minder,
a Hebrew tailor, sent to the peni-
Tertiary for life from Bibb county
in 1908.
Minder, who formerly was tailor
in Dawson, killed a man by the name
of Andrew Mahoney, with whom he
had worked, by stabbing him to
death without warning. The only
defense made was that he had been
leased and goaded by Mahoney I'M
til his reason was dethrOned. The
sentence of the court was death, but
an appeal to the prison commission
and the governor resulted in commu
tation of sentence to life imprison-
ment.
He was sent to the state farm.

A PATHETIC MEETING.

The Rawlings Boys Meet for First
Time Since Their Imprisonment.
That is pathetic story the guards
are telling of the Rawlings boys.
When the movement of convicts was
on two Central trains were passing
in Macon. One of the Rawlings boys
was on one train, the other two were
in different cars on the other Look
ing from the car windows the three
brothers saw each other for the first
time since their Imprisonment be-
gan. Milton Rawlings has been
working in a camp at Fargo, Leonard
Rawlings in the camp at Babcock
and Jesse Rawlings in a camp near
Macon. They travelled to Augusta
on the same train, but in different
cars, and did not get opportunity to
speak to one another until they
reached Augusta. The greeting be-
tween them was very affectionate.-

AN ODD MICHIGAN DEAL.
$12, 100000 For Horse Is the Re-
suit of a Freak Bet.

Twelve million dollars for horse!
That's going some and makes all the
fancy prices paid for equine stars
look like 80 cents. Yet just such
deal has been closed in Kalamazoo,
Mich, which for many days prom
Ises to be record transaction, and in
every sense of the word is bona fide.
1t is between Frank Kress, super
lntendent of the Riverside Coating
Mills, and Louis Ehrmann, a Rose
street hotel man. All came about
through dispute over the weight of
truck horse in question, the prop
erty of Mr.. Kress. He insisted it
weighed more than 1,16O pounds.
while Mr.. Ehrmann was equally GER
tain that it did not. Thereupon Mr..
Kress said he would be willing to
sell the horse to Mr.. Ehrmann, TAX
ing beans in pay, one bean for the
first ounce in excess of 1,16O, two
beans for the second, four for the
third, and so on.
This bargain was snapped I'D in
hurry. The horse was found to
weigh exactly 1900 pounds, Just 40
pounds in excess of the weight
claimed by the owner. Local math-
meticians got busy and figured up
on the transaction. Kress finds by
allowing 3,40O beans to a quart Mr..
Ehrmann will have to pay him s.
100000 bushels of beans for the an
imal.
Beans now sell at $2.4O to $3.50 a
bushel, which makes the price $12,-
100000 to $12,50O,O00, and a half a
million is really a small matter in
such a transaction. Kress SAYS he
will deliver the horse and intends to
hold Ehrman to his contract.

Former Dawson Tailor Must Remain in the Penitentiary
Lewis Mllirons Respited For Two Weeks.

His appeal for clemency was based
on the claim that his mind is weak,
and that he is in failing health.
Relatives of Mahoney living in
Augusta heard of the application and
sent strong protest to the commits
sion. They declared that Mtnder had
committed deliberate murder and
should be further punished.

Governor Smith granted a respite
of two weeks to Lewis MillirOns, the
white man who was under sentence
to be hanged in Clay county last

VASTNESS OF RESOURCES
CHINA Is ONLY COUNTRY THAT
CAN EQUAL UNITED STATES.
Ours Still a Land of MatChless OPP
pOrtunities. Wealth of FaCtO-
ries, Fields and Mines.

Only one other country on earth
can compare with our country in the
wealth of it's natural resources. That
land is China. If want leads to work
and work to wealth then there is
every inducement in the United
States for people to go to work,
writes j. G. Monaghan, professor of
history and economies at Notre Dame
University. The way we have piled
up wealth in the past has been the
source of wonder to the world. Mr.
Gladstone is reported to have said
that the world piled up more wealth
in the years 1900 and 1850, inclu-
sive, than 1t had gathered together
in the years since Caesar to 1900.
He went on to say that in the years
1850 to 1870 the world had put
aside as savings more than in the
previous so, or more than in the l.
500 years from Christ to A. D. 1900.
If that statement is based upon fact,
and | believe it is, the world will
have saved from 1870 to 1910 as
to 1870, inclusive | might add all
the other centuries and not be far
out of the way. The wealth of this
republic in 1850 was put, by some
of the worlds best statisticians, at
$1,000, 200. Today it is nearly
$3.50, 10000 1000. Until l tell you
that Great Britain, that sold tin to
the Greeks and Phoenicians, doing
large trade before Christ was born;
that sent a tribute of gold annually
to the Caesars both before and after
the birth of Christ, piled up only
$50, 100000 in those 900 years
you get no good idea of what our
wealth production indicates.
The Wealth of the Nations.
France is worth, after all her CEN
turtles of thrift, work and saving,
$4,000, 100000; Germany, including
Alsace and Lorraine, only $45,000,-
100000; Russia, with one-siXth of
the habitable globe tributary to Mos
COW and st. Petersburg, and 15O,-
100000 people, is worth but $685.

billions from the Montezumas in
Mexico, and other billions from the
Incas of Peru, is down for no more
than $12, 100000.
Where did we get all this gold or
COLDS equivalent? Out of our mines
and forests, from our farms and fac
tories. There are no mines on earth,
except China's like ours. There
were no forests like them when they
We're first opened for exploitation.
There are no farms, measured by soil

ant Questions Settled.
Again the good offices of the in
ternational court of arbitration at
The Hague are to be invoked to set
tie important international disputes,
this time in matters in which the
American government is vitality in
terested.
1t will not be the first occasion in
which recourse has been made to
that tribunal in issues in which this
government has figured, the cases of
the Pious fund of the CALIFORNIA; and
of the preferred creditors" of Vene-
zuela, which were awarded prefer
entail treatment following a block
ade of her ports, both having been
passed on by the court, and each of
Importance to the United States.
Neither of them, however, is re-
garded as of as great consequence as
that, primarily, of the Interpretation
to be placed on Article l of the treaty
of 1918, touching the rights of Amer
lean to fish in the waters of New
foundland and, secondarily, the is
sues to be arbitrated as a result of
the agreement recently reached be-
tween Mr.. Buchanan, the American
special commissioner, and President
Gomez of Venezuela, both of which
are to go to The Hague.
The Fisheries Question.
The compromise" negotiated by
Secretary Root with Ambassador
Bryce, which incorporates the fish
cries dispute to be arbitrated, has
been ratified by the senate, and the
two nations interested have agreed
on the arbitration. The findings of
the court will be awaited with inter
est and Impotence by the New Eng
land fishing interests, for it means
much to these men, who yearly make
the Newfoundland shore their rem
devious, and who supply large por-
ton of the northeastern markets with
fish food products. Their treaty
rights have been questioned, their
work interfered with and they have
suffered from the attempted enforce
ment of certain local laws or regu-
latiOns, the privilege to enact which
has been warmly contested by this
government.
