KILLED HIMSELF AT SEA.
Prominent Hotel Man Jumped Over
board From Steamship.

A special to the Savannah Press
from New York states that H. n.
Mason, with headquarters in New
York, but who had lived recently in
Boston and Augusta, Ga, committed
suicide at sea on Sunday night by
jumping overheard from the steam
ship City of Columbus of the Savan-
nah line
Mr.. Mason had been to Savannah
attending the automobile races. He
seemed much preoccupied and de-
spondent during Sunday aboard the
ship and ordered his dinner served
in his statero0m. When the steward
carried it there the room was empty
and Mason had disappeared. He is
supposed to have gone over the side.
Mason was well-kn0wn in the
south as a hotel man, having manag-
ed the Hampton Terrace at Augusta
for two seasons and for one season
having been assistant manager of the
Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta.

PECANS IN DOUGHERTY.
Two Large Plantations Being DeVel-
oped Into Great Orchard.

From the Albany Herald.
Dr.. F. S. Croker of Chicago,
president of the Flint River Pecan
Company. is now making one of his
periodical visits to Gods country
looking after his extensive pecan in
trests four miles north of the city.
Dr. Crocker is at the head of abe
company that purchased the Fleet
wood and Forester plantations two
years ago and is sub-dividing the
land and planting most of it in pc
cans. Thousands of trees are al
ready we'll on the way and within a
few more years the two plantations
above named will have been con-
verified into one Of the most extensive
pecan orchards in Southwest Geor-
gia.
With the Fleetwood place Dr.
Croker acquired an ever-fowing
spring, which IN our opinion can
be utilized in a way that would great
ly enhance the value of the entire
property, and in a conversation with
a representative of The Herald some
time ago he intimated that he had
some plans for the utilization of this
spring and the identifying Of the
place in mind.

WILL GIVE TED TIME TO COOL.
How Canada Views the Recent Flee
tiOns in United States.

The Canadian newspapers COM
menting on the elections in the Unit
ed States generally ascribe the re-
suits to fear of Rooseveltism coup
led with a dislike of the Payne tariff.
The Ottawa Citizen conservative
says:
1T may be very picturesque to
hunt lions in Africa, make a trium-
phal tour through the effete coun-
tries of Europe, handing out rapid
fire opinions and advice on affairs
OF state, then return homo and
plunge into a whirlwind political
campaign, mingled with little side
excursions, such as presiding at
bucking broncho festivals or taking
scout in an aeTOplane.
There are q great many admirers
Of Colonel Roosevelt who doubt
whether he had not lost his head to
some extent and been carried away
with the unusual attentions that
! fave been shOwered or him since
his recent return from Africa. No
doubt this feeling was more general
among those politicians opposed to
him and also caused the sedate bust
ness community to wonder whether
it would be safe to risk the CONNER
claI well-being of the nation in his
/ hands, at least for the present;
whether it would not be better to give
MIN time to cool off. Anyway. that
IS what seems to have happened"

To one whose thirst is Quenched

him there, his arms still Outstretch-

A case in point was that of Supt.

a man thoroughly acquainted with

back from Leach's Point, carrying
an ample supply Of food and water

familiar trail. Some hours out his
horse showed signs of sickness,
struggled a short distance, and final

thing possible to restore the ami
NAL, but it died within an hour The
trip was imperative, and he deter

canteen still contained water enough
to get him easily to Hidden Springs,
where he could get a fresh supply.

TO ENCOURAGE DRY

NORTHERN PACIFC TO SEND DRY
FARMING TRAIN TO SPO.

| .|-
REPRESENTED

The Northern Pacific road is in
tending to arouse an interest among
the farmers of North Dakota in dry
farming, and that method of increas-
ing the yield of crops known as the
dry farming process. In order to do
this special train will be sent to
Spokane, Wash. The railroad will
invite as its guests representative
farmers and business men from var
ious North Dakota counties. The
dry farming process will be investi-
gated and the results shown to North
Dakota people, with the idea of get
ting that method of farming more
into use.
The practical results of this kind of
cultivation have been shown this year
in the western part of this state and
in certain localities where farmers
have undertaken it on small scale.
To get more general knowledge of
dry farming and its increased yield
of crops among the farmers is the
next step to be taken.
Supt. Burt, In consultation with
the Commercial Club have designated
Theo. Thorn of Eldridge and P. w.
Eddy of jamestown to accompany
the special train as representatives
of the farming and business interests
of this city and county. The train
will leave in a few days and further
details of the project will be given.

equalization board has held its last
meeting for the current year and has
adjourned. The state levy was fixed
at mills, which is considerable
reduction over former years. The
money to be raised for the ensuing
year was reduced by $223,000. A
greater part of the reduction in the
amount of money to be raised is on
account of the fact that the legis-
lature has not been in session and
that there were no large building
appropriations to be met.

man Hanna, who returned this morn
ing from Chicago, where he went to
attend the meeting of the republican
national congressional committee.
"There was real harmony there"
said Mr.. Hanna. Insurgents and
stalwarts were represented by men
of the most radical type and yet
factionalism was absolutely lacking
in every session. There was one big
strong get-together feeling. Every
man there was a republican and re-
publicanism will be the watchward
in this campaign.
"The speakers that will be used in
the various states will be the best
men from both wings of the party
and every speaker will stand for ev-
cry republican candidate who has
been nominated for any Office"
The good spirit that was in evil
dence and the harmony that pre-
vailed in the Chhicago meeting for
the republican party, is evidenced by
a word from Congressman Tawney of
Minnesota. Mr.. Tawner said that he
would do all in his power to secure
the election of Sydney Anderson to
congress, even though Anderson had
defeated him in the recent primaries
after heated contest. Such men as
Tawney and Anderson working in abb

party goes to show how the whole
country will work for the success of
the republican candidates and Sc
cure the election of the complete
