SAYS SMITH SENT SOLDIERS
Sent the Same Lindale Company
Hurrying at the Request of
Deputy Sheriff.

ATLANTA, GA dispatch from
Cedartown states that the Cedartown
Standard publishes a statement to
the effect that former Gov Hoke
Smith set the precedent Of ordering
out troops upon the request of
deputy sheriff.
The occasion in question was when
a deputy sheriff employed by mill
ing company at Aragon asked the
governor to send troops there to pre-
vent the lynching of two negroes
charged with attempted rape.
Gov. Smith, on June %, 1908, or
dered to Aragon the Lindale COM
pany, the same company which Gov
Brown sent to Durham mines on re-
quest of Deputy Sheriff John Mitch
ell of Walker county.
In his report of the Aragon affair
Capt. Meikleham stated there was no
disorder at Aragon, and that no eff
fort was made to modest the troops.
The incident is recalled with espe-
cial interest in view of the criticisms
directed at Gov. Brown by Mr.. Smith
and his friends for sending troops to
Durham mines on request Of dep
uty sheriff to prevent an armed band
of Italians from attacking others.

$4,000 FOR NEW SANITARIUM
Alto Sanitarium Will Fight White
Plague. House Vote Was
One-Sided.

ATLANTA Ga.-For the purpose
of completing the work on the build
ings of the state sanitarium for the
treatment of tuberculosis at the town
of Alto the house of representatives
today passed the bill appropriating
$4,000 to that institution. The bill
provides that the fund shall be avail
able in 1911; that $4,000 of the
amount shall be used for completing
work on the buildings, and that the
remainder shall be used for main
tenance next year.
DR.. Hardeman spoke in favor of
the appropriation, stating that the
sanitarium will be opened next year,
and that it will accommodate 200
patients.
There was practically no opposi-
ton to the bill, and it passed by the
vote of 1872 to 27.
For the second time the house
tabled the bill by Mr.. Johnson of
Barlow, which seeks to exempt farm
products from taxation for period
of one year after harvest. The bill
was tabled the first time on July
LIST, and it was tabled again today
on motion of Mr.. Darlington of Rich

FOOD PROFITS AND FARMERS
FIGURES STATE SOME FACTS
NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.
The Enormous Appreciation in Value
of Food in Transit From Farm
err to the Hotel Table.

In recent editorial in these COL
umns on the cost of living the state
ment was made that ''the Fifth ave-
nue. and Broadway hotels make more
profit off the sale of food than all
the farmers of all the counties be-
tween New York and Albany" A
comparison of market and restaurant
prices printed in Golfers Weekly
illustrates in detail the enormous ap-
probation in value which takes place
IN the transit of food from the farm
to the hotel table.
The capon for which the guest is
charged Sc is worth $3.50 to the
farmer and $2.10 to the marketman.
For the six-pound planked steak
served for 81 the retail dealer re-
ceives $1.38, the wholesaler SO
cents, the cattleman As cents. A
portion of two lamb chops, worth Z
cents at wholesale and cents on
the hoof costs the guest SO cents.
For short pint of raspberries he
pays the shippers price for five
pints. His $3.50 portion of aspara-
gus could have been obtained in the
market for 35 cents and from the
farmer for 10 cents. A cucumber
worth 2 cents increases to 80 cents
by the time it reaches the restaurant
patron. Grapefruit appreciates more
than 500 per cent. in transit; 800
If comparisons are made with prices
at the docks. If farmers were paid
for their potatoes at the rate charged
on certain hotel bills of fare they
would receive $96 a bushel The
cost at a high-class restaurant of 2
single egg, transformed it is true by
all the chefs art, equals the cost of
a dozen in the market
1t is estimated that an entire beef
carcass yields an average return to
a Fifth avenue restaurant of $3.50
pound. The utter disproportion be-
tween the producers and the hotel
keepers profit from food is only
minor phase of the cost-of-living
problem. But it affords a striking
illustration of how under the present
system of dealing in commodities the
production of food has been made
commercially the least important of
all the processes it undergoes from
the farm to the cOnsumer.-New

KILLED A MONSTER BEAR.
Bunk Morris and SOnnie Miner Co
Him in Chickasawhatchee.


Mr. Sonnie Miner, who lives a few
miles east of town, and who has a
statewide reputation as big game
hunter, went down to the big swamp
on Chickasawhatchee creek the first
of the week on { bear hunt. He
was accompanied by Mr.. Bunk Nor
ris of Cordray's mill, who is also
a good hunter
On Wednesday morning their eff
forts were amply rewarded by the
killing of the largest bear that has
ever been seen in this country. The
beast weighed 406 pounds with his
head cut off, dressed and quartered
up, and it would be a safe estimate
to say that it would have deighed
at least 500 pounds gross. That
was some bear, and don't you forget
it.
There is large game in abundance
in the swamp roundabout where this
record-breaking haul was made, and
Mr.. Miner has made for himself a
reputation as a big game hunter for
number of years that would make

McMahan and his friend. Benia-

the Edison News is as follows:
Editor News l noticed in the
last weeks issue of both The News
and the Courier that the bill to trans
fer Calhoun county from the Albany
circuit to the Pataula circuit had
passed. That is a mistake. The bill
was introduced in the senate and
was passed, but when it came before
the general judiciary committee of
the house, of which I am member,
it was referred by that committee
to a subcommittee composed of my
self, Ault and Lewis. We amended
the bill by leaving all the circuits
just as they are now, and when we
reported the bill back to the COM
mittee all the amendments were
passed, and then we killed the bill
entirely. So Calhoun county still re-
mains in the Albany circuit.-Yours

she had been killed by some one of
her evil associates through jealousy.
Among her possessions was no mon
