For State Treasurer.

To the People of Georgia: The
Honorable Pope Brown having de-
clined to become a candidate to sue
coed himself as State Treasurer
hereby announce myself a candidate
for that Office, subject to the action
of the Democratic party at the ap-
preaching primary for the selection
of State House officers. My candi-
dacy is based on my qualifications to
fill the office of State Treasurer, as
demonstrated by long and faithful
service formerly in that capacity,
from which Office l voluntarily re-
tired several years ago on account
of i'll health. My health having been
restored would like to fill the office
again, and to that end I beg the sup
port of the people. Respectfully,
VIM. J. SPEER.

WHAT 1T COSTS UNCLE
SAM TO BURY HIS DEAD
Price. Once a Year He Calls For
Bids From Undertakes.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Once
year Uncle Sam, realizing that pro-
vision must be made for taking care
of his seamen and burying them when
they are dead, calls for bids from
different undertaking establishments
throughout the United States, asking
these firms to submit proposals for
the work This year the bids have
just been opened and the contracts
for the next year awarded They
differ little from those heretofore
submitted, except that in some in
stances the rates for furnishing cof-
fms have increased, due to the great
er price in commodities and labor.
Generally the government is not in
the burying business and only deals
with live men, but so far as known
is the largest operator in putting the
dead ones away on record.
AppalachicOla, Fla, will bury the
dead seamen at wholesale for $40
each; Ashland, Wis, SIC; Baltimore
puts on a bargain day price and says
$11.90; Bangor, Me-, $12; Beaufort,
n. c., $25; Brunswick, Ca, $14;
Buffalo, N. Y, 500; Cairo, ILL.,,
$3.50; Cambridge, Md, SIS; Charles
ton. S. C--$11.50.
The work will be done in Chat
tanooga for SIS; in Cincinnati and
Cleveland, SIS; in Eureka, Cal, and
Escanobia Mich, the figure "13" ap-
pears not to be dreaded, the price
in the former being $3.50 and in
the latter $13 even. Evansville, Ind,
cuts the price to $13.75; Gallipolis,
Ind, wants $14.50; Galveston, SIS;
Key West, Fla, $40; Luddington,
Mich, $40; Manitowoe, Wis, $500;
Marquette, Mich, So; Nashville,
Tenn, $13; Portland, Ore, So; Sault
Ste Marie, Mich. $3.50.
Uncle Sam would save big pile
of money if all the seamen could die
firm of contractors in that city guar
anteeing to bury every one of them
for $4.95. This is believed to be
as near rock bottom, Monday-bargain
prices as yet have been submitted.
In connection with these bids a
number of conditions have been sub
mitted. Erie, Penn, will furnish In
sane patients all necessary treatment
for 71.37 cents a day, and provide all
necessary clothing that may be de-
strOyed. The government Hospital
for the Insane in Washington will
furnish quarters, subsistence, nurs-
ing and board for $3.50 a week.
The bids mentioned have been ac-
cepted, the treasury department be-
lieving that when a man may be
nursed, clothed and boarded for $3.50
la week and buried for $4.95, rock
bottom has been struck.

give you efficient service I now offer

CROSSES COTTON WITH OKRA
Wizard of Plant Life,
Working on Plan to Improve
the FIeeCY Staple.

JACKSON, Miss.-California has
her Burbanks, the man who startled
the world by cross-breeding and de-
veloping fruits and flowers, but Kinds
county has her Jones, the man who is
developing cotton and performing
marvellous feats with corn.
Taking a common variety of corn
fourteen years ago, when corn Gull
ture was practically unknown in this
section, Mr.. Jones has crossed and de-
veloped it till he now produces more
corn to the acre in Kinds county,
three miles from Jackson, than any
farmer in the world. He makes his
corn produce from six to fourteen
ears to the stalk, and the yield is at
the rate of from $50 to 200 bushels
an acre.
This has been done on ordinary
Mississippi land, without using more
than the usual quantity of fertilizer,
but it is done by a man who has
made study of corn culture.
Not only is the yield large, but
the weight of the grain, after it is
shelled, is far above the average.
showing the corn is not only we'll
fuited, but fully developed.
In addition to performing wonder
full feats in the way of corn culture
Mr.. Jones, by cross-breeding okra
with short staple cotton, has produced
a long staple of finest texture and
endurance. His achievements with
both corn and cotton are attracting
a great deal of attention. He has
been taking off all prizes at the Mis-
sissippi state fair since it was or
ganized with his corn This year
Mr.. Jones expects to add one more
ear to the stalk in his corn field. He
has added an ear every year for four
teen years, and believes he will in
crease the yield this year again.
Il also have done some expert
menting with cotton, said Mr.. Jones.
Il took the ordinary short staple
cotton, cross-bred it with okra and
produced the finest kind of long
staple. With this cotton l planted
40 acres and produced "a bales
Some of this land produced about
three bales to the acre, and if
don't get two bales off the poorest
kind of land l feel that l have lost
money"

For the State Senate.

Whereas, the Senatorial Committee
of the Eleventh senatorial district,
on the 28th of March, in accordance
with their duty to do so, named a
day for the senatorial primary to be
held under the new law which pre-
walls as to the coming state primary,
and being a laW-abiding citizen of
my district and state | hereby an
nounce myself a candidate for the
Senate under this call.
No matter how regretful myself
or others may be over doing away
with how Terrell, Randolph and Clay
have been doing in the past it is a
law passed and voted for by Shaw,
my opponent, and if it is now so bad
(befOre ever being tried) for him
to get to the senate on he should
blame himself and not we humble,
law-abiding citizens he forced it on.
Should l be honored by the dis
trict l hereby pledge the best I can
and the nearest I can to carry out
what the majority of the counties
and the district desire, feeling N.Y.
self only servant of the people
anxious to carry out their will and
not the determined plan of my own.
With the many assurances of support
given me and from what my friends
advise me l will carry my home
county by good majority regard
less of my opponents claim to the
contrary. There having been no ex-
preston at the polls between us, or
between anybody, it is only prophecy
as to who will win. I have no DOW
er of force over any free American,
and by their vote they can force me
in or force me out and | will humbly
bow to their will whatever it may be.
| would much prefer defeat than
to win by arraying, in a single in
stance, neighbor against neighbor,
friend against friend, and regretting
that there is even one in the Elev-
enth senatorial district willing to ag-
ltate old political differences, stir up
strife and divide our people [ ap-
peal to those in power-the voters
to assist me in this fight, so that
peace, love and unity may prevail
among us.
My race will be made on my own
merits, not seeking to run in on the
coat-tail of any other candidate.
Vote for me for the senate, and then
for others as your conscience die
tates. l will carry out the wishes
of my district and party platfrom re-
CARELESS of who is elected governor.
l will also add, if it can be legally
done and friends willing, that l will
gladly refuse the senatorship if I
carry the district and fail to carry
my home county, if my opponent will
do likewise and agree to name some
other instead of either of us. Assur-
ing all that the sincerest of motives
prompted me to enter the race, I re-
main yours to serve,
r. G. McALLISTER.

FLOCKING TO WHEAT FIELDS
Southern Kansas and Northern Okla
hOma Report Crop Ahead
OF Expectation.

WICHITA, Kan.-Thousands of
men headed for the harvest fields
have passed through this city the
past week, and more are coming on
every train. The crowds at the de-
pots are almost exclusively harvest
hands. One day it was estimated by
the railroad men that more than =
500 arrived and departed. Every
train from the east and north was
crowded with men bound for the
wheat fields.
Wheat harvest has begun in some
of the southern counties in Kansas
and northwestern counties in Okla
homa. In Blaine, Garfield, Canadian
and Kay counties in Oklahoma the
harvesters are in some of the fields,
and in Sumner, Harper, Kiowa,
Pratt, Kingman Cowley, Chautau-
qua, Meade and Clark counties in
Kansas a few of the fields have been
cut.
The extremely hot weather for the
past few days has ripened the wheat
rapidly. In few days it is expected
that most of the crop will be cut in
the extreme southern part of the
wheat belt, which extends into North
ern Oklahoma. When this is done
the harvesters will follow the ripen-
ing grain north.
Requests have been received bv
the railroads and the city officials
here to send all the men possible to
Edwards county, where it is esti-
mated it will require 1000 harvest
ers to get in the crop. Ford county
is in distress, and asks for !, 900 men.
Barton, the banner wheat county of
the state, is asking for more than
two thousand men.
The report is that the crop is far
ahead of the most sanguine expec-
tations, and that it will run from
20 to 30 bushels to the acre.

sANITARIUM CONDITIONS BAD.
Also People Are Inmates There Who
Should Not Be.


A complete vindication of the pres
ent management of the state sani-
tarium is found in the report of the
special joint committee appointed at
the last session of the legislature to
investigate that institution.
The committee finds conditions at
the sanitarium bad, in some instances
even depIorable, but it is through no
fault of the management of the in
stitution. Two reasons are assigned
to explain the present condition;
first, the niggardliness of the state
in its provision for the institution s
support; and second, the fact that a
great many persons are now immured
in the institution to be supported at
the states expense who should never
be there at all.
The committee finds that many old
men, rendered feeble minded by ex-
IRENE age but absolutely harmless,
are in the institution. These should
be supported by relatives, where they
are able to do SO; where they are
entirely INDECENT they should be sent
to the poor house, and not to the
sanitarium.
Concluding its report the commit
tee recommends that provision be
made for sane epileptics, senile and
harmless imbeciles and feeble-mind-
ed children; that sufficient funds be
appropriated for buildings for col
ored patients; funds for a tubercu-
losis hospital, nurse hall and a
water reservoir; also, that inmates
be allowed the privilege of sending
out or receiving one day in each
week mail without the inspection of
authorities of the institution.
1t is further recommended that
important changes should be made in
the manner of commitment of pa
tients to the institutions.
