AS for the swamps, most of them
growing fine timber though under
water for nine months of the year,
they will be unfit for cultivation to
much extent until drained. To drain
the swamps of the south would be
stupendous enterprise, dwarting
the first continental railroad or the
Panama canal.
But the American people have
learned that the constitution is tieX-
ible enough for any good and prac-
teal purpose. and it remains only
for some logician from the south to
demonstrate to congress that the
draining of the swamps will facill-
tate the navigation of the southern
rivers. That that section can get
her arms elbow-deep into the pork
barrel and as a result 100000
square miles of the richest land in

Represents an Enormous Industry.
Product Commended.
After the numberless attacks that
have been made on the habit of
chewing gum, and the assertions that
the substances from which it is made
are not fit to put in ones mouth. it
is interesting to note what the United
States has to say on the subject
"Gum-fiends' will be glad to learn
that government inspectors have pro-
nounced our gum factories as "sani-
tary in every particular" and that
methods of absolute cleanliness pre-
vail throughout; also that they are
1.-THE second cleanest plants inspected
in the United States.
AS to the industry itself, it is enor-
nous. A prominent manufacturer
estimates that Sufficient chewing
gum is produced each year to supply
every human being on earth with two
sticks, and that the daily energy ex-
pended in the consumption of this
popular masticatory is equal to that
necessary to light a city of 100000
inhabitants for the same period"
Nearly three billion pieces of gum
are made annually in the United
States, and the product has been pro-
nounced as "a pure and wholesome
article and harmless to it's great and
faithful body of consumers"

A RAIN OF FIRE.
The Great Meteoric Shower That
Scared Folks in 1888.

Scared Folks in 1888.
IN Scharf's Chronicles of Balti-
more" there is a vivid description
of the starry hailstorm, the fiery
meteoric shower of 1888, and old
files of newspapers are made lumi-
nous at that date with the impress
sions of editors and contributors.
One writer said it was the grandest
and most charming sight ever pre-
sented to the vision of man. Awak-
ened from sleep he sprang to the
window, thinking the house was on
fire, but when he looked out he be-
held stars or fiery bodies descend
ing like torrents" The shed lin
the adjoining yard to my own" he
wrote, was covered with stars, as |
supposed, during the whole time.
Professor Olmstead of Yale college
thought that the exhibition was the
finest display of celestial fireworks
that had been witnessed since the
creation of the world, although he,
too, while knowing its character, was
sufficiently imbued with the theologi-
cal spirit of the time to believe that
it was a solemn pOrtent that carried
divine warning.
One editor whose comment upon
this phenomenon was probably more
quoted than any other he ever made
said: I'VE pronounce the raining
fire which we saw on Wednesday
morning an awful type, forerunner,
merciful sign of that great and
dreadful day which the Inhabitants
of the earth will witness when the
sixth seal will be opened. Many
things occurring in the earth tend
to convince us that we are now in
the latter days"

FOLLOWS THE Pillow AT 81.
Capt. Geo. Prigden Works His Farm
in Coffee Like a Young Man.


One of the most interesting char
acters in Coffee county is Capt. Geo.
w. Prigden, who lives on his farm
at Prigden, on-the Georgia & Flori-
da Railway, and is a regular farm
hand at 81 years.
Capt. Prigden came to Georgia
from North Carolina in 1854 and
settled in this county. During the
civil war he was captain of the
1127th Georgia militia, but other
than this he has never sought or car
ed for political honors, contenting
himself to remain on the farm with
his family. He has a farm of about
1900 acres of the best land in the
county His mind is perfectly clear,
his meory good, his eyesight almost
as strong as that Of a boy of IS,
and his health excellent. He weighs
about t05 pounds, arises early in the
morning, makes regular hand on
the farm, and sleeps as peacefully at
night as a plowboy.
The age which Captain Pridgen
has attained, and his good health,
demonstrate that the people of this
country need only to take the prop
er care of themselves and their
health to enjoy old age. Captain
Pridgen is and has always been a
progressive citizen, and is an author
ity on most questions in his neigh
borhood. The station where he re-
sides was named after him.-Val-
