PEOPLE PRAYED

People rleIted.

Cuthbert, Ga, March l1.-Some OF
the people say the cyclone was vista
ton Of Gods wrath on Cuthbert for its
wickedness. A revival has been in
progress st the Methodist church for
two weeks, and, they say, the good wo-
men have tasted and prayed to God to
send the earthquake and the cyclone to
waken the people.
An immense crowd was at the church
when the storm broke over the city.
When word reached the church OF the
awful wreck and ruin, and the appal-
ling property loss, the preacher made
strong appeal to the people, and in the
darkness cries and applications went
up to God, mingled with shouts Of vic
tory. Yesterday praise service was
held that God had answered their pray
er and melted the stony hearts OF the
people.

YANKEE THRIFT IN THE SOUTH.

An object lesson in thrift that
ia worthy of the widest publicity
throughout the South, is furnished
by the Tampa (Fla.) Tribune.
The object lesson has been fur
nished by a man from the North
who brought his Yankee thrift
with him, but the story is from the
Tribune, and here it is:
J w. Gamble, visitor to this
city, gives the Tribune a bit of his
personal experience that is worthy
of editorial mention. Mr.. Gamble
says: Secretary Glenn, of the
Publicity Club, in his little book
let, says that a man from the
North can come to Florida in Sep
TENDER and raise three crops from
one piece of ground before he need
return home, thus making more
than his expenses. My first visit
to Tampa was in the winter of
1905. l brought with me 325 one
year-old hens, cow and some
household goods. l built shed
for the hens out of shoe boxes,
knocked down, with roosts and
nest boxes underneath. These
hens laid over 1000 eggs during
the months of January and Feb
ruary following, which sold for Is
and 30 cents per dozen. This paid
for the feed of chickens and Cow
and rent of house, at $35 per
month, and left surplus of about
$40 to apply on groceries for the
family | sold the fowls for
enough more than l could have
sold them for at Catawba Island
to pay the cost of bringing them
here. These fowls would not have
more than paid for their feed in
northern Ohio" This is bit of
actual experience that sustains
Secretary Glenn's claim. and
shows how a little application and
industry can make every tourist
self-sustaining.

The progress and outcome of the
famous Standard Oil case in Chi
cago illustrates freshly the fact
that not even the great Federal
courts are superhuman. Some
few months back one court held
the Standard Oil Company to be a
criminal, and so villainous GRIM
inal that nothing but the payment
by it of the unprecedented fine of
$29, 0OO,0 900 would satisfy the de-
mands of Justice. Now comes an
other court, reversing the first, and
says the Standard is not GRIM
inal at all, Ill so far as the charges
upon which it was convicted are
concerned, but is as innocent as
an unborn babe. When such high
and powerful courts differ 50 rad
icaily, how in the name of COM
mon sense is a poor layman going
to know enough about the law to
keep his neck out of the moose?
