Andes, which at this point are about
as high as the Blue Ridge, and of much
the same color. They slope down to
the green and bound what, as 1 look,
seems a vast sea Of green bushes.
Now turn and look to the left The
sea of green extends Is miles in that
direction without a break, and it is
the same at the front and back. Al
most as far as you can see, there is
green everywhere, except here and
there where one of the high trees of
the jungle was too big for cutting.
Now take your glass and look more
closely at the plantations below you.
The green is not solid. You can see
that it is divided up into great fields
or farms, each of which contains about
1000 acres, and that there are narrow
lines of railroads running through it,
with wagon roads here and there.
Those roads were built to get out the
bananas. There are 40 miles of rail-
ways on this banana plantation, and
they run through the farms like the
veins of ones body, reaching all parts.
The roads are about three feet wide.
With a glass you can see the steel
tracks shining out of the green. On
some Of the roads are cars loaded with
green punches and on the trunk line
which crosses the estate are piles OF
bananas corded up for the trains.
How Bananas Are Handled.
Now take a look at that train which
is approaching the hill See, it has
stopped and is taking on fruit. The
gang of Jamaica negroes is transfer
ring the piles to the cars. They handle
the fruit very carefully. The cars
have been lined with leaves to prevent
bruising the bananas as the train goes
over the rails. Each bunch is lifted
up into the air and passed from hand
to hand to the men on the train. There
is no throwing or dropping the punches.
Each is raised as tenderly as though it
were a baby and is laid softly down on
the car. The lunches are packed just
so and the men know just how many
will fit into a car and how many car
loads it will take for the steamer " hich
is to carry them to the United States. I
am told that 100 carloads will De
shipped off today. The trains will
carry them down to the port and the
bananas will go from the cars on end
less belts of canvas right into the
steamers. They are put in cold storage
and remain there until they begin to
fly out on similar carriers into the cold
storage cars at New Orleans or New
York These bananas will go to New
Orleans or to Mobile, from where they
will fly to the chief cities of the Mis-
sissippi valley and the lands farther
west. The United Fruit company aims
to supply our whole country. Tt has
it divided into sections and there is a
port for each section. I am told that

United Fruit company took up these
thousands of acres, they were covered
with jungle as dense as that on the
slopes of the Himalaya mountains. The
ground was covered with mighty trees,
some of which were $50 feet high.
These trees were bound together with
vines and lianas, which were matted
together and formed a network of
woven vegetation. There were palms
of a score of varieties, and the mass
of green was so dense that you could
only cut your way through with a
knife and an ak. All of this jungle
had to be cut down and turned over
The big trees, some of which were as
large around as a flour barrel, and
some had even the diameter of a hogs
head, were left to rot where they fell
After the land was cleared and
burned over. the plants had to be set
out at 200 hills to the acre. They had
to be kept clean of weeds, and this not
withstanding that nature here is so
generous that if the land is left free
for six months it will all be jungle
again.
And then some of the lands were
swampy and they had TO be ditched.
The rainfall here is 10 inches a month.
or 120 inches a year, and the banana
tree will not grow with its feet in wa
ter. In some other banana plantations
the land is so dry that irrigation is
needed, but here the rainfall is just
right In planning the plantations,
roads and railroads were built. Farm
houses and homes for the men were
put up at every few miles. and black
smith shops, stores and offices were
erected.
Altogether, it takes about 5000 men
to work these plantations, and the
community has to be housed, cared for

PROGRESS IS

ON BAD LINK
OF MACON COUNTY ROADS
Nearly Half Completed Al

Americas motorists who recently
have made the trip from this city to
Oglethorpe and Montezuma over the
charlottesville highway,
reported yesterday that excellent pro-
gress is now being made in the inn
provement of the seven mile stretch If
sand and hills in Macon county, and
that it will soon be finished. This
stretch of seven miles is really he
only bad piece of roadway between
Americas and Macon and the i'm
provement now under way is causing
very general congratulation.
From Oglethorpe, the Macon county
force of road builders are working to-
wards Andersonville, where the new
road will connect with the fine Sum-
county highway of twelve miles,
leading to Americas. 1t is said that
three miles of the seven under i'm
provement, have been completed al
ready. If weather conditions con-
tinue favorable the Macon county link
should be completed early in January,
thus making complete at last the
stretch of 220 miles from Albany to
Atlanta. This will give a good high
way the entire distance, and will be
the means of bringing many automo-
bile parties here.
The Sumter roads are being put in
good condition as rapidly as seventy
five or eighty convicts can do effective
work and will be in good trim before
the heavy rains of winter set in.

LONGER SHE is WIFE
MORE SHE WILL GET
Unusual Ante-Nuptial Contract Placed
on Records.

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec Am unusual
ante-nuptial agreement between Louis
Yahlem and Ray Eckert was placed on
file in the recorders Office today.
The first clause in the agreement is
that Yahlem will pay his bride 500 in
cash at the time of the marriage. With
out conditions of any kind he agrees
to bequeath to his bride in his last
will $500. In case they live together
as husband and wife for two years he
will will to her $1,000 including the
$500 in the previous clause.
If they live together three years or
longer he will bequeath to her one
sixth of his estate, including the 81 900
1t is further agreed that the wife
shall have no right or claim, dover or
otherwise, to share or participate in
Yahlem's estate except as set out in
the agreement.
Yahlem valves all right to the es-
tate Of his bride, and it is agreed that
eitherfb may sell or cucumber proper
ty without the others signature.
No reason is assigned for this
strange agreement which provides a
sliding scale according how long the
wife decides to remain as the wife of
Yahlem, nor it is stated at what date
this strange agreement will really go
into effect by the marriage of the con-
tractors.

BROWNSVILLE WOMEN ON
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Plan viii Be Adopted Soon in That
City.

Thomasville, Dec. "A movement
is on foot here to put the names of two
of Thomasyilles prominent women on
the ticket to be voted for as members
of the board of education at the pri-
mary in December.
There are three vacancies to be
filled on the board and the suggestion
that two of these be filled by ladies
seems to have received favorable con-
sideration. Several well known citi-
gems are back of it. They say there
are many things in which they think
women are better fitted to Judge in re-
gard to the welfare of the children
than men, owing to their closer care
and association with them, and for this
reason they would like to see at least
two or even more on the board. That
there will be opposition to this move
there is no doubt, but the friends OF
it think they can carry 1t through.

THREE HEARS
FACTS ABOUT MARRIAGE
Easier to Waltz to the Altar Than to
Get a Judge to Annul Union

New York, Dec 2.-Neither money
nor love have anything to do with the
marriage contract; was the statement
by Justice Blackman made to Mrs.
Cecilia Schaeffer, a pretty young bride,
in the Brooklyn supreme court.
The matrimonial romance of Mrs.
Schaeffer, who is 20, lasted just three
days, and she was before Judge Black
man seeking annulment of her mar
riage.
Last April Mrs. Shaeffer, whose
maiden name was withheld, attended a
dance, where she met Raymond Shaef-
fer They waltzed several times, and
she declared his dancing was divine
Then-just like that-he proposed and
sh accepted In a few days they ran
away and were married.
Her parents knew nothing of the
marriage.
In three days she declared her hus-
band came to her and said:
It's all mistake. l do not love
you and never can" Then he packed
his things and started for his mothers
81 do not think l can grant an an
nulment on this testimony" said JUS
tice Blackman Marriage is the foun-
dation of civilization. Many people
have to sacrifice their lives to uphold
the marriage contract.
"A marriage does not mean a man
Of womans love, which afterward is
found does not exist. 1t does not
mean a mans financial condition
either"
