A GIFT OF $1,000
For BIG COLLEGE
H. G.. Hastings & Co. Subscribe a
Splendid Sum Toward the Es-
adjustment of Central Agricul-
tural College in the South.

H. G. Hastings * Co, of Atlanta, have
subscribed $1,000 toward the great ag-
ricultural college which is to be estab-
nshed as the head of general system
Of agricultural education. The sub
scription is contingent on the location
OF the college at some point in the
southea stern states.
Charles Barrett, president or the
Farmers union, passed through Atlanta
Wednesday en- route to California In
the interests of MS pet project. He is
enthusiastic over the prospect of Sc
curing ample funds to make the, college
a splendid success IN every respect He
regards the unsolicited subscription OF
Hastings & Co, as a splendid evidence
of the feeling in the south for the need
OF more thorough training for farmers.

"A business man or the farmer He
stressed the importance of a farmer be-
ing practical in every respect. The av-
erage education or the present day,

STEADILY WANING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The great
fight against tuberculosis is being won,
according to Chief Statistician Cressy
L. Wilbur, of the division of vital sta
tistics, United States Census Bureau.
In a bulletin issued today, he says:
"A continued decline in the death rate
from it from year to year, may be ex-
pected."
He says that the organization of
many state and local anti-tuberculosis
societies since the international con-
gress on tuberculosis in Washington in
1908 has helped to check the disease.
Inc total deaths from tuberculosis re-
turned in 1908 was 1929, exceeding
those OF any previous year of registra-
tion, but the death rate per 100000 for
1908 is considerably less than that for
1907. In all registration states, the
death from the tuberculosis showed a
decline, except in Colorado, Rhode Is
land and Vermont
Mr.. Wilbur notes pellagra as a dis
ease of increasing Importance with 23
deaths recorded In 1908. This does noE
include the bulk of pellagra deaths in
the south, from which no records are
received. Among the rarer disease,
smallpox caused 90 deaths; plague 3;
yellow fever 2; leprOsy II and hydro
phObia 80.

NEW EXPLOSIVE FOUND
THAT EXCELS DYNAMITE

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2O.-A new ex-
posive the invention of a Briton, which
possesses possibilities, it is said. of rev.
olutionizing blasting work in connection
with the construction of the Panama ca I.
nal. has been tested on the isthmus Of
Panama and as a result the Panama canal
commission ordered 20 tons of 1T for trial
A report on the new invention, which Is
claimed to be absolutely safe, has just
been made by Vice Consul General Claude
Z. Guayant. of Panama.
The inventors exhaustive tests before
the members of the isthmian canal COM
mission and officials of the Republic of
Panama, according to the consular OFF,
Ger, showed that it is absolutely impos-
sible to explode it by ordinary means 1t
was hammered with 8. -sledge, shot int"
with q rifle, burned, and dynamite detona-
tors were exploded in it both by fuse and
by electricity, but the compound was in
ert Not until a special detonator was in
serted could the substance be exploded,
but then in a few charges that were
set on 1t showed itself more powerful
than dynamite. It can only be set off by
heating a small platinum wire just inside
the open end by an electric spark or fuse.
| 1t will not explode by conclusion,
| The new explosive Is compounded of
perchlorate of ammonia, nitrate of soda
and several other ingredients such as
parafine for waterproofing, etc. 1t IS
claimed that 1t is so per cent stronger
than the &c per cent grade of dynamite,
and that the cost of manufacturing will
be more than $40 per ton cheaper.
| The inventor will, by means of a COM
pany, at once erect factory on the 18TH
mus with a capacity of between 5000 and

SHOT FROM AMBUSH
TO RESCUE FRIEND?

A dramatic tale Of fraterna1 affection
carried to unlawful and unlaudable ex-
tremes was unfoIded Wednesday morn
ing in Judge Pendleton's court, when
ike Johnson, a negro, was tried for as
sault with intent to commit murder. 1t
was, apparently, a sort Of ebony cdr
ton of the famous Damon and Pythias
story, and County Policeman j. e. oil
yer came near being the victim OF Ike's
alleged brotherly devotion.
The theory built up by the prosecu-
tion upon the. evidence of witnesses
for the state was somewhat as follows.
though denied by the defendant: Ike
Johnson, so it is charged, was working
one day in a heavy swamp, near the
roadside, in Fulton county, when he
looked up from his labor and SUDDENLY
saw his partner and best friend I'M

the road with County Policeman oliver
holding him by the scruff of the neck.
Thereupon Ike conceived the idea that
he was called upon of high heaven to
deliver his black brotner from bondage,
so he unlimbered a Colt IA he carried
inside his shirt, rested it on rail fence
like a cannon, perhaps, and took a
pot shot at the officer. ...

not believing discretion the better part
of valor, bravely left his handcuffed

CHAMPION FLIM-FLAMMER
rs AT LAST CAPTURED

The police say the champion flim-fiam-
mer of Atlanta, and probably the south,
has ct last been captured and is now
safely lodgedNin the Fulton county jail
The Atlanta police have been after him
for months, they say, but only succeeded
in capturing him after hard chase Tues
day morning.
From the many reports that have been
made to the police, this professional finn
Hammer, who gave his name as Will Da-
Wis. colored, has worked his skin games
Of different kinds on most every inno-
cent negro in the city. He has been re-
ported to the police time after time but
the officers only succeeded in apprehend-
ing him this week, as he seemed able to
work the skin game on them whenever he
was caught in tight place.
Seventeen cases were worked up against
Davis by officers Childs, Shaw and Nc
Williams prior to the trial on Tuesday,
and many more are expected to develop
before it gets to the higher court. Tho
officers worked II cases in half day,
and will doubtless work up larger num-
Der within the next month.
At the trial before Recorder Broyles Da-
Wis had nothing to say of the charge. The
witnesses against him packed the cour5
room, and all were not heard from, as
court would have been in continuous ses-
sion until early Wednesday morning. He
was bound over under a heavy bond and
sent to the tower.

Hearst Calls Hand
of C. o. P. Fusion

NEW YORK, Oct. 20-William Ran
dolph Hearst, nominee for mayor, has
won a strike which he declared against
the Republican fusion ticket, according
to a story current here. Until last sat
urday none of the nominees on the Re
publican-fu fusion ticket had appeared with
Mr. Heast on his speech-making tours.
AS all of these nominees with the ex-
ception of that for mayor, are also on
the Hearst ticket, Mr.. Hearst believed
that they would speak with him during
his energetic campaign.
Hearst was scheduled for speech last
Saturday night and three hours before
the meeting was to be called. he is said
to have served notice upon Republican
fusion managers that unless their nomi'
nees for comptroller and borough presi-
dents appeared with him on the same
platform he would retire from the race
for mayor and leave the Repubiican-fu-
sion ticket to fight Tammany alone.
This declaration is said to have thrown
the Republican camp into confusion,
which lasted for two hours, or until the
fusion nominees assured Mr.. Hearst that
they would appear with him. Mr. Hearst
then called his short and successful strike
off, and since then the Experimentation
nominees have been working with him.
