BUSINESS IS GOOD
 SAYS BOWMAN
General Manager of the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic in
 the City

Alex Bonnyman, general manager of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail- road, was in Birmingham yesterday en- gagged upon a regular trip of inspection. He said while here that the line between here and the coast was in first class shape and that efforts would be made this summer to better it all along he route. He said there would be placed a tremendous order for slag in Birmingham to ballast the line with and that when the present outlined work was com pleted the railroad would be in excellent Birmingham and Atlantic had now 25S miles of slag ballasted tracks between this city and the coast which was lne best in the country according to the judgment of many experts
 Business with our lines has held LID remarkably well.' said Mir Bonnyman. Our passenger service here and the freight movements have been very good. I anticipate a continuation of this con dition. I see no reason for any spirit of pessimism In Birmingham over the business conditions As I size up the conditions there is a slight dullnes in pig iron and coal. However, other lines are brisk"
 MT. Bonnyman said at this time he did not have any information as to the clis- missal of the receivers of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, but that the officials in New York were working on that plan and results were expected some time soon.

TICK WARP ARE IS
 WAXING WARMER Sumter Flares Up Against
 Reform
  WARM MEETING HELD Attempt of Auburn Experts to Cause Compromise Meets With Bit ter Attack of Commis-
 siOners' Court
WARM MEETING HELD
BY J, h. ENNIS

Livingston, March 4-(Special.) 1.-The cattle tick question is one of the most convincing examples that there are two sides to every question: Instead of wei coming the aid of the federal state and county authorities in eradeating the tick the majority of the small farmers have organized under the leadership of men who whether they he politicians or not are extreme in their views and wrong in their conceptions of the ultimate re- suit.
 Dr. C. A. Cary of Auburn accompanied by three experts from the department of agriculture was here yesterday. Through them a compromise was attempted but the more the two committees represent ing the two factions talked the further apart they got.
 John A. Rogers of Gainesville made bitter attack on the commissioners court charging them with outrageous usur- patton of authorityH and charging one of the commissioners with violating a di- rect promise, This brought most quiet and gentlemanly rebuke from E. F. Al- ii~pi Ol DclldnNs MiAO iildl ouliltSt county had one of the most honorable bodies of men for commissioners he had ever seen. Mr. Rogers again said in a very violent manner that nine out of every ten didn't give a hurrah about .he thing.
 Right here F. H. Jones, one of the com inittee for eradication, moved that in the face of such statement the committee adjourn. As one of the eradication men was chairman this gave the majority to the antis and the motion was lost.
 After much wrangling the meeting ad- journed.
 It will be remembered that quo war ranto proceedings have been filed against k. c. Ennis, one of the commissioners, to oust him from office on account of the tick question. It is also reported that the antis will file an injunction against the operation of the tick law.
 However, absolutely no fear is held by either Mir Ennis or the federal authori- ties as to the outcome of any legal ac- tions taken by the opposition. They have increased the number of inspectors and will push the work to the utmost this summer. It is believed that in time the people will awaken to their opportunity and will cooperate in the work With the cooperation of the people the county could be cleaned up in F months.

SAMAR TWINS SHOWN
 FOR KINDERGARTEN
Special Music Will Be Provided By Boys Industrial School
 Band

The remarkable Ssmar twins. who have attracted so much attention while on ex- hibtion for the past two weeks will be shown today for the special benefit of the Free Kindergarten association.
 The ladies of the executive board of .he association have made arrangements to enhance the comfort of all who attend the exhibition today. The store on Twentieth street near Second avenue where the twins are being shown will be decorated, and music will be furnished during the day by the band of the Boys Industrial school.
 The Samar twins are well worth see ing as they present a phenomenon which. it is said, has been unknown since ,he death of the famous Slamese twins. The bodies of the two children are joined in such a way as to prevent separation without producing death, but each is ;u- dependent of the other so far as health and illness are concerned.
 All the proceeds of todays exhibition will be for the benefit of the free kin dcrgartens of Birmingham, and the price of admission will not be increased for the special occasion.

 A Curious Instance
 A local mining man relates: "One case in which the company concerned had net the shadow of liability. was brought by miner sometime ago. and the man won several hundred dollars. It was against the Sloss company. The man was not che Of their employees, either It seems that he went out 10 the mines to see about getting employment. He saw the boss, loafed around for a while, and after bit walked down the slope. following a miner who had a light-he had none of his own. Now in the first place, iis against rules to go down the mines un- less mans employed there. and espe- eially to go down without light
 Well, the man was no sooner down than in some unexplicable way the trap hroke loose Two cars heavily loaded, dashed back down the slope The man fad a narrow escape, got off, I think, with a sprained ankle, while the miner ahead of him was killed. Well, one year later the man sued the Sloss company for s25,o00, alleging that his knee cap had been discplaced by the accident and he couldn't mine as much coal as he used to before the accident. Now, that man had no earthly right down the mines. As l told you, he wasn't even an empoye of the company. Yet the case was settled for several hundred dollars

WOULD GIVE AID TO FALLEN
Chicago Judge Comes Forward With a
Really Practical Idea Of Needed
Philanthropy.

A Chicago judge suggests a new
duty for the courts. He says:
"It is all right for people who do
not come in contact with these class
es to say that there is plenty of work
for the man that wants it, but when
a man is down and out and has no
place to go he needs some one to
take an interest in him and get him
braced up again."
And then the court suggests that
some provision be made whereby it
may assist the unfortunate man ;
give him some assistance, although
the man may be down and out and
hasn't a cent to pay a fee. For this
duty there should be, it suggests, an
attache of the court to represent it
and the certain influence it may
carry in finding the man work. The
unfortunate man himself, under
such influence and care, might
spruce up, do his work we'll and
make something of himself.

ONCE COSTLlEST OF WARES
Vessels Of odoriferous Clay So Rare
Only WealthIest Collectors
Could Afford One.

Vessels of odoriferous clay were
imported early in the sixteenth CEN
fury frem Peru, Chile and Mexico by
the Portuguese merchants, to which
were given the name of buccaros. So
highly was this ware esteemed that
only the wealthiest collectors could
afford to possess entire specimens.
Broken pieces were set in gold or sill
yer or ground to powder to be used
to scent cakes and CONNECTIONS and to
perfume gloves and handkerchiefs.
1t was also supposed to possess me
dicinal properties and was pre-
scribed by contemporary physicians
for certain ailments. The great de-
mand for the buccaros resulted in
the alleged discovery of scented clays
in Portugal and the potters of the
time used them to fashion all sorts
of drinking vessels, on which they
impressed seal or stamp, hence the
adoption of the name terra sigillata.

RAISING TURKEYS.

Nearly 800 wild turkeys were
raised at the state game farm this
season, and these birds will be turned
at liberty in certain localities as soon
as they are able to care for them
selves. The commission will try to
educate the public on the idea of
giving these birds a chance to multi
ply. The birds raised in captivity
have no fear of men, and as a result
are easy prey to hunters.
The game and fish commission
also proposes to furnish a pair or
more Of pheasants to anyone desir-
ing them to raise in captivity, they
agreeing TO return a like number to
the commission from the first hatch
ing. BY this means 1t is hoped to
get these birds scattered throughout
the state.-Sacramento correspond

A PLEA.

We wish to call attention to a
form of cruelty which has now been
going on for some time.
During the summer months many
wives leave town and behind them,
without or care, their husbands, who
roam oyer the back yards, make
night hideous by their wailings and
subsist as best they can on the scraps
thrown out by roof gardens.
A husband who has been well fed
during the winter months and has
been accustomed to a certain amount
of luxury is suddenly thrust forth
into an unknown world.
So far as we have ascertained,
there seems to be no law that can
reach the miscreants, who are guilty
of this unnatural cruelty. The most
that can be done is to make a gen.
eral appeal TO everybody.
Whenever you see starving hus-
band, with the corners worn off,
wandering about the streets, take
him in and give him a square meal.
The Lord will reward you.-Lfe.

TREE APPEARS TO BLUSH
Seeming Wonder Of the Florida
swatnps Really Has a Most
Simple Explanation.

Among the many wonders of the
vast Florida swamps there is moth
ing more surprising than the blush
ing tree. 1t actually bushes when
the rain falls upon it. The mysteri-
Gus and beautiful glow of color
which it assumes in a rainstorm baf-
files description. AS the rain drench-
es a tree, gradually, yet unmistak-
ably, the green hue gives way to
pink. In a few minutes the green
fades from sight. Only in few
half-hidden spots, beneath broad
branches and on the trunk, is there
tinge of green to be seen. The tree
is as pink as the cheeks of the healthy
girl. After an hour or more, when
the shower is over, the tree assumes
its familiar green once more. AS it
is changing back the spectator sud-
denly realizes the secret of the
phenomenon. Certain tiny insects
and not the tree itself change color,
These peculiar parasites are pos
sessed of the power of chameleons.
In the bright warm sunshine they
are greener than the tree on which
they live, but when the chilly rain
falls upon them they contract their
tiny backs and become a pretty pink
in tint. Millions of these change the
color of the tree and make it appear
to be blushing.

doubtful if the rest improved her

The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

e UPPOSE a m a had a beautiful garden on side of his house, and
OF the other a n unsighty dump, and suppose he always sat by a
- window where he could look out on the dump instead of the flower
garden What would you think of him?
And yet how many people look out from the windows of the House Of
Life In Just that wayi
A young girl in our neghborhood lost her grandfather recently. She
had been veryf fond Of him and put n black at his death.
Whereupon the neighborhood gibly assures itself:
HIN its easy enough to see why Elsie feels so terribly about her
grandfather. She thinks black is becoming to her"
Now Elsie is a very pretty young girl, and she undoubtedly does
look ven pretter, In a quaint, pathetic way, in the somber gowns.
But she is also a very sensitive, afectionate young person, and was
deeply touched by her grandfathers death.
Why isn't it just as easy to believe that sincere grief and not vanity
Is what aduates her?
The other day forgot to take the change from a five dollar bill
after making a small purchase. I did not find out my mistake fol a day
whom 1 had traded had kept it intact for m 9
~She probably a afraid she'd lose her job If she took it."
Perhaps.
And yet the honesty as a equally possible motive.
Why look beyond it for the less creditable one7
There is a woman in our neighbrhood who does more for charitable
affairs n entertainments than any other two women in the town.
We were speaking Of her the other day and someone said, II wonder
II h really loo 1t because se wants to help or because she likes o be
in everything and likes to tell about it."
/ suppose either motive is possible, but isn't it much pleasanter to
believe that she ws actuated by the former?
There is much bad in the world and there is much good.
II you want to be happy and sweet and Iovabe, train yourself to
always see al much of the good and as little of the bad as possible.
If you want to re cynical and our and disagreeable-wel, be always
looking out of the windows that overlook the dump.

Meanwhile isn't there anything to be
said on Mr.. Fly's side Of the question?
There is. If human beings did not

are ~scavengers. When you see a

flies. Their presence is an accusation
against you, clearly as you may be

What you need to do when you have
