concerning his position the senator
said today: W.
While 1 have my views as to the

tne party must get to gether on the
IarIH question. 1 realize that indi-
Vlduals have to make concessions.

Senator Bacons declaration has

democrats generally, and he is being
applauded for the spirit of concilia-
Ion and harmony that he manifests
as concerning the tariff, upon which
IL IS claimed the democrats will 90

Inc senator's position is sfgnif-
cant OF the attitude and spirit that
is being displayed by democrats gen
orally, and it is regarded as strong
evidence Of the purpose of the party
leaders to make the most of their
success at the last election.
The senior senator from GEORGIA

long service and his we'll known ia

BLACK SNOW FELL.
That Was a Phenomenon Seen Re
Gently in Switzerland.

Gently in Switzerland.
Advices from Geneva say: A
strange phenomenon occurred re-
Gently in the Emmenthal valley and
the surrounding mountains when
black snow fell to a depth of Is
inches, giving the whole country.
which before was white with snow,
a funereal and most depressing as
pect over large area. The first few
inches of snow was of a grayish col
or, as if mixed with ashes, blu the
gray became darker and darker in
hue until now it is almost black.
Such a phenomenon has been wit
messed in the Alps in former years
after volcanic eruptions in different
parts of the world, and on this occa-
sion Swiss scientists are of the opin-
ion that the black snow is due to
ashes blown over the sea and the
Alps after the recent eruption of
Mount Etna.
The cold in the Alps on the Swiss
Italian frontier is intense, the Their

low zero, Centigrade, on the Simplon.

THE MAN WITH THE BACON
Brooks County Farmers 300 Hogs
Bring Him S3 600.

Bring Him $4,000.
Though we have no direct infor-
nation on the question we would be
willing to wager a carload of cotton
against a knitting needle, that the
oncoming boil weevil, the meat trust
and the high cost of foodstuffs do
not cause D. T. Clyatt of Brooks
county to pull his hair or lose his
religion.
This conclusion is based on the
following item, which is taken from
the Quitman Free Press:
The bacon record of the D. T.
Clyatt farm this season is a very
fine one, even for Brooks county.
Mr.. Clyatt has marketed three
hundred hogs, and the total cash
receipts for this item of his farm
produce will be about $4,000. One
hundred and fifty head of hogs
have been sold on the hoof to a
Brunswick dealer, the price being
about Sc per head. And one hun
dred and fifty hogs have been con-
verified into prime Brooks county
bacon, the average price being
II Is cents per pound. Besides
this Mr. Clyatt has enough bacon
to supply his large farms Thus
the output of this one farmer ex-
ceeds the total bacon product of
some Georgia counties.
Millions of dollars are flowing out
of Georgia annually into the Golfers
of the west in exchange for meat
and the melancholy phase of the sit
uation is that a large part of the i'm
ported meats are for the tables of
farmers.
There is no reason why Georgia
should not produce as much meat as
is consumed by all its city and coun-
try fOlks.-Augusta Chronicle

NEW DISH FOR BIOGRAPHIES.
Noted Men Partake of Dasheen at

Just as Washington was distin-

hOnored by the first presentation in
the United States of a new dish made

This delicacy resembles the pota-
