JAPANESE STRIKERS
ARE FOUND GUILTY

HONOLULU, Aug. 1S.-After being out
six hours, the jury in the case of the four
Japanese strike leaders charged with
criminal conspiracy brought in verdict
of guilty at 10:45 p. m. yesterday. The
defendants, President Maxine, of the
Higher Wage association, the organiza-
ton in charge of the strike of the Japa-
nese laborers on the sugar plantations of
the islands; Editor Sega, of the Japanese
newspaper Jill, and Assistant Editors
Negoro and Tashaka, of the same paper.
were arrested and charged with criminal
conspiracy June IA, when officers with
search warrants entered the offices of the
Jill and the Higher Wage association and
found there evidence of what the author
ties claim to be a widespread move on
the part of the Japanese strikers to take
possession of the government of the ter
ritory.
Later the grand jury charged the ar
rested men with criminal conspiracy to
incite riot, violence and injury to the
property of the plantations, affected by
the strike. A futile effort was made to
secure the release of the accused leaders
through habeas corpus and they were
brought to trial on the charge on July "a,

Sheen Culture

Editor Journal: After reading your article,
entitled "Abanbonding Sheep Culture" l feel
inclined to write and ask a few questions,
well as to say a few things. l have been
in this country among the ponds watching and
listening for more than 30 years. There is,
perhaps. 1 man in every 40 w-o owns sheep.
Almost every man owns hogs, and almost any
old hog will eat young lamb. Is 1t right
to exterminate the hogs because they cat
Iambs7 The sheep men let their sheep range
for miles away from their homes. There are
comparatively few dogs that will kill sheep.
should the harmless and useful dogs be exter-
minated on account Of the bad ones? There
are in the swamps in this country many coOns
'possums. skunks and foxes. They all to he
fattened and maintained on corn, pinders. pigs.
lambs, kids, chickens. ETC.; besides Bre'r Rab
Dir must and will have his share Of vegetables.
and all the above mentioned varments anil
mails would increase very fast but for the log.
Give ssmbo a good coon dog and he will
benefit the farmer more than dogs will injure
the sheep. and the farmer who owns stock
and no dogs has a bad time when a hog is to
be caught, and the dog Is very ready to give
an alarm when anything Is wrong about the
place, day mig, and there many other
advantages TO the dogs credit. Take the bird
dog, for Instance. Is there any better sport
than bird hunting with a good dog7

TRIES TO FORBID
SALE OF CELL

LOUISVILLE. KY. Aug. IA special
TO the Courier Journal from Columbus,
Ohio, says:
In forbidding the sale OF the cell &C.
cupied by General Morgan, Of the Confed-
eracy. while he was a prisoner at the
Ohio penitentiary. Gov. Judson Harmon
has run against one of the toughest prop
ositions of his administration. At the last
meeting of the board Of managers the
cell. which Is soon to be torn out Of the
east hall, was sold to John Adrian Kelly,
a reporter for a local paper. Mr.. Kelly
intended sending the cell on a tour of the
south and then having it placed pern1a-
nently In Lexington, KY, for sight seers.
But Governor harmon sent word to the
prison that the cell must be kept here.
Mr.. Kelly has visited the state house and
told the governor that the cell is his and
has exhibited his receipt for s25 paid to
the managers.
Now, the governor does not know what
to do. The cell has not been useu for
many years and has stood merely as one
of the sights of the famous prison.

on corn for two or three weeks We
would arrange the grazing lots so as to
have them convenient TO the pasture.
This will permit the hogs to reach water
in your case without difficulty, and they
will gather considerable food from the
Bermuda pasture no matter what kind
Of grazing crop yon may place them or.
For late fall and early winter pasture,
we think you would find IT advisable to
plant some artichokes ana let the hogs
harvest them themselves.
The Essex is a good breed of hogs to
use ard is well and favorably known ir
recommend the Berkshire. and the Tam
worth gives promise of wide adaptability
I'm this state. The Berkshire POLAND
China cross is also a good one, but the
Poland China has probably TOO great 8
tendency to lay on fat to make the best
type of grazing hogs. Any Of the ma
tive hogs may be improved materially
for grazing purposes through the use of
a high-grade sire, and the same is true o..
sheep.
We are glad to know that you are Civ
ing so much attention to live stock. II
seems to be the salvation Of the state, for
whenever live stock industries are prop
erly developed there will be a great con-
SerVatlon OF 1erIllity and an enricnment
OF the land through laying a part of It
down to pastures and grazing them, and
because of the large amounts of farmyard
manure which can be had for the further
enrichment of the soil.
Jersey cattle certainly do we'll I'm this
state. High grades give as good salts
facion TO the general dairyman and
farmer as the pure breds. Shropshire
sheep have proven themselves well
adapted to the south, and you viii not
make a mistake in using a Shropshire
ram on native ewes.
You are exactly right in desiring our
people to diversity. The more we d.
versify and the more we develop animal
industries. the less difficulty will there be
in obtaining a profitable price for cotton,
and the more nearly our farmers can live
at home, the more independent they will
become. II Is said authoritatively that
about seven and a half million dollars
have been paid out for mules already this
year by Georgia farmers. There is no
reason in the world why these mules
should not be raised just as we'll at home
as grown at big profit in other sections

WHY WE SHOULD
BREED MORE LIVE STOCK

be purchased and made the basis Of pro
ducing the work stock needed at home.
That we can not continue longer our
present methods is borne out by the fact
that on the horse breeding farms 1t has
been demonstrated repeatedly that colt
can be carried from birth until It will
pay for it's feed in work for $40. This
means that by taking up horse breeding
every farmer In the state will save from
SEQ to $40 on each horse or mule which
he may find IL necessary 10 purchase at
the present time. Is 1t not worth while
TO save part OF the treasure now sent to
enrich the farmers in other states for
the purchase OF live stock? Would 1t not
put every farmer in a better financial
condition II he could save $50 to $40
profit he pays to the other man for rails
Ing HIS horse and mule? Would the
maintenance of larger numbers of live
stock not mean a large supply of farm
yard manure to spread over the land or
to use in the compost heap and thus in
sure 6 better yield OF corn and cotton7
These results sem to have followed In
other sections. and they will certainly
follow in Georgia This condition would
not continue to exist were the people full
ly alive to the situation. and in max
ing these suggestions nothing has been
said with the intention or purpose Of crit
icising. The man who criticises wastes
his time and energy and distracts the at
tention OF the public. What we must
know. however, is the real economic sit
uation as II exists at present. and hav-
ing ascertained that we must proceed to
clear up the situation and institute bet
ter methods OF practice. This result can
only be brought about by a frank and
open discussion Of the situation as II ex-
lists. for we are not likely to improve or
change our practice until we realize its
present defects.
Unquestionably. more and better work
stock will improve economic conditions I'm
Georgia. This has been shown most def
nitely by the twelfth census report, and
will probably be full substantiated by thu
census to be taken next year. The last
census shows very clearly that in those
sections Of the country where horses and
mules are chiefly bred. and there are
therefore a larger number OF work ami
mails per acre and per farm worker the
income of the farmer is much greater
than in those sections where the number
OF horses and mules Is limited. In Geor-
gia and many other sections Of the south
we have less than one animal per farm
worker; I'm some sections they have three
to four. In other words. they have solved
the labor problem to a large extent by
using implements and live stock. With
good horses and mules and satisfactory
implements much more can be accom-
plished by one farm hand than by three,
four or a half dozen with inadequate
and work stock to operate
the same. Let us reverse conditions as
they now exist, and when this is done
permanent prosperity will come to every
section OF the state.

with q southern exposure, cooled artii-
cially. She will be washed and brushed
three times a day, a special germicidRl
soap being used. She will have two men
attendants and a matchmaking a milk
maid, OF course. Her horns will be kept
FURNISHED and her hoOfs pared and pol
ished. Her quarters will be kept anti

lowed to touch her.
incidentally, she is expected to come
across with some milk morning and
evening, but she can have her afternoons

Warts are nothing more or less than
tumors OF the skin. They occur in all
domestic animals, hut are most common
ly met with in horses and cattle. The
cause has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned. but IL is thought to be due to
malnutrition of the skin. When warts
first make their appearance they can
usually be destroyed by an application of
pure acetic acid. This should be dropped
on slowly until the wart is thoroughly
saturated and softened. In a few days
the war will come of. If It has not been
removed roots and all, another applica
ton should be made. Where warts are
large the best way is to cut them off with
a knife. II they bleed profusely, scar
the part with a hot iron. Another method
is to tie strings around the war near the
base. 1t may sometimes be necessary to
tighten the string several times This
will eventually cause the wart to slough
or. These are about the only treatments
that can be suggested that will be of
service to you at this time. 1t is always
best to treat warts Immediately upon
their first appearance.

MACON GETS READY
FOR COMING FAIR

MACON, Ga, Aug. T.-Although the
Georgia State fair is some time distant,
the merchants of the city are now rapid
ly becoming Interested in the extensive
preparations that are being made, and in
a few days they will be called upon to
make arrangements to decorate their shop
windows and buildings The fair associa-
ton has already arranged to decorate
the exhibit buildings and the main en-
frances Of the grounds and a contract for
the work will be awarded by Secretary
r. w. Jemison this week. Mr.. Jemison is
very anxious for all the merchants of
the city to show an interest in trimming
up their places before the fair opens and
iC Cherry, Third, Mulberry and Second
streets are prepared in this way splen-
did showing will be made.
This morning Secretary Jemison re-
ceived a very interesting letter from Sec
rotary r. H. Plant, Of the Macon Fan
ciers' association, which states that there
will be several hundred out-of-town birds
on exhibit in the poultry building. Dur
ing the last fair this exhibit was almost
solely made up with Bib county birds,
but this year it will be different. The
fair association has been asked to make
the building a little more snug by add
ing boards to prevent drafts. 1t will also
be necessary to build some additional
coops.
The National Fireworks Manufacturing
association has asked Secretary Jemison
for a photo of Governor Brown, so that
set pieces can be arranged which, when
touched off, will show a picture Of the
governor. A profile is wanted and any
one who has one TO spare will confer
favor upon the association by communi-
eating with the local secretary. Taft
set piece has already been arranged, and
one of the copies viii be used when tn.
president reaches Macon on the morning
of November l.
The association at present is being
flooded with letters from troupes or in
dividuals who want to sign up for free
attractions Several novel and new acts
will be secured for this department of

Writes of Visit
to State Asylum

Editor Journal: 1t was my pleasure on wed
nesday, the 18th inst, to visit the state SAM
tarium for the insane at Milledgeville, Ga.
shown through the institution and found
everything most beautifully kept and was In
formed that the condition that i found was
accomplished on SO cents per capita. II Is
simply marvellous that the institution with S'24J
inmates could be sustained in any way on so
limited an allowance and to find admirable
care on that vastly insufficient fund was u
me, and must be to any reasonable mind simp-
ly marvellous.
The Individual rooms were scrupulousiy
clean, as was each OF the dining halls aud
the institution set apart for hospital purposes
were particularly well kept In every way
These divisions are set apart for those win
acute maladies Of different kinds and are
thoroughly equipped for that purpose and com.
pare favorably with any hospital that might
be found anywhere in the state.
The operating room was most serupuiouSly
clean and thoroughly equipped with every ar
ticle needed for modern aseptie surgical pro-
cedure.
The patients were clean and suitably dressed
The lawns were quite beautiful, spacious and
well kept, and In a condition That could not he
sustained without considerable expenditure
Upon being Informed OF the per capita III
lowance OF 80 cents / inquired as TO what
amount would be adequate and was informed
that 50 cents per capita would be quite suttl-
cecnt to sustain the institution In salts
The statement that one-seventh Of the pa
tients have died Of tuberculosis is evidently
incorrect, as there Is not a fatality OF one
seventh Of the inmates from all causes. and
must have been intended TO mean one-seventh
Of the fatalities had some form OF tuDerculo-
sis Even this is quite appalling, but 1t Is
quite possible that some OF these had remote
tubercular involvement when carried to the IN
stitution.
1t IS known that insanity is at times pro-
duced by tubercuar involvement of the cere-
Drum OF the cerebro spinal membranes, ana IT
is quite possible that some OF these entered
from such causes and general development
showed after they became inmates Of the in
stitution
Certainly the arrangement OF the building
and the spacious, sunshiny and well kept lawns
should tend to healthfulness in every way.
With these advantages and adequate funds,
the very proficient staff in charge will be IN
position to battle with any infection that might
be found at any point In the institution, and
thus readily eliminate dangers from that
point.
without delay, the additional Is cents per
capita should be furnished and thereby enable
the most excellent staff OF physicians IN
charge, TO take every necessary step TO cor
rect these Irregularities and stamp out any
form Of infection that may be found.
The blame for these Irregularities is clear
ly the fault of inadequate funds, and not OF
the staff in charge.
