anything like that.
When he was speaker of the mouse
and he was speaker five terms OF
two years each--the question OF es-
tablishing department of agricult-
ure came before the house, and there
was much opposition to it.
The speaker favored it, however,
and threw all the powerful influence
he then welded in the house to it's
establishment.
When the matter came to a vote
the roll call showed a tie, and Bacon,
being speaker, voted in favor of the
bill, thus breaking the tie and max
ing the department of agriculture
living thing.
So great was the appreciation of
the friends of the measure that Ba-
cons picture was given the first and
most conspicuous place of honor in
the new agricultural department and
there it has remained ever since.
On the fourth of next March Sen
ator Bacon will begin his fourth term
in the senate of the United States.
No other man in Georgia ever was
honored by a fourth election to the
senate, successive or otherwise. In
deed, there have been few instances
in which more than two terms were
awarded.
With the passing of "Uncle Shelby
Cullom of Illinois Bacon will be al
most, if not quite, the dean of the
senate.

Have Been Money. Pensacola
Mystery Puzzle to Police.

PENSACOLA, FLA package
containing $55, 900 has mysterioIsly
disappeared in transit from the First
National Bank in this city to officials
of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road at Flomaton, Ala. The money
was part of a shipment of SIS, 900
intended as payroll and was in bills
of small denominations.
Details of the robbery, which IS
said TO have occurred Wednesday,
did not become public until today.
Reports were current that the west
bound Louisville and Nashville train,
leaving here Wednesday morning,
had been held up and robbed, but
this was emphatically denied late to-
day by railroad officials here. Pri-
vate detectives and special agents of
the railroad and Southern Express
Company are here Investigating the
affair.
Stuffed With Paper.
The money was put up in two seal
ed packages at the DanK, one con
tanning $4,000 and the other SZo'-
600.
These packages were delivered to
the Southern Express Company ana
in turn delivered by them to the Lou
isville and Nashville pay car at FLO
NATION to be used in paying on the
men as the car came south to PenSa-
cola. ;.
On being opened in the pay car, 1t
is said, the larger package was tound
to contain a roll of pages from a
magazine in place of the money. The
express messengers, it is said, claim
the seals on the packages were I'M
broken while the packages were in
their care.
No report had been made tonight
by the detectives investigating the
mater and railroad and express of1-
Gals refused to discuss the disappear
ance of the money.

GREAT is THE ONION.
Texas Growers VIII Reap Golden
Harvest This Year.

Figures on the onion crop that IS
now being marketed by the growers
along the Rio Grande in Texas snow
that huge profits are to be gathered
this year. More than 100000 crates
Of this vegetable will be shipped OUT
and the net revenue will be in the
neighborhood of 100000. Some Of
the large growers will show pronts
Of more than $4,000 on the season
1t was only ten years ago that the
discovery was made that the soil near
Laredo was of just the quality to
grow Bermuda onions at their best.
It was at this time that attention
was being turned from cotton among
the plantation managers, and some
of them decided to try the new crop.
The result is shown by the leap IN
the values of property in the decade.
Land that was then considered e.
pensive at 81 and So an acre is now
ned at from $500 to $1,000 an acre,

HE HAS HIS OWN ORGANISE
H. C. Prick EMPLOYS SKILLED
MUSICIAN TO PLAY FOR HIM.
$4,000 a Year Paid for Hours Solo
Each Morning ON Millionaire's
100000 Instrument.

NEW YORK.-Pity the hard lot
of Archer Gibson. He gets SIS, 900
year for lingering a 100000 organ
an hour a day and rendering Dear
lie" between the classical thunder
ings and groanings of the costly
pipes. Also. Also he gets a sum-
mer home-you'd wish you owned it
if you saw it-and nice, comforta-
Bile automobile Archer works at
the above mentioned laborious task
to delight the musical soul of Henry
Clay Prick, multimillionaire Pitts
burg steel magnate. whose summer
home is at Pride's Crossing, near
Beverly Farms, Mass.
Every day at 2 p. m. the phone
rings in the Gibson house and the
organist motors over to the Prick
mansion. There in the music hall
the silent, gruff money giant sits
waiting for his daily music. While
the nimble fingers of Organist Gibson
rip out peal after peal of stuff that
dead men wrote-the kind that no
one could see any merit in while the
composer was alive-Henry Clay
Prick, the tips Of his strong fingers
Joined, listens in silence.
After a particularly weird sue
cession of crashes and thunders from
the costly organ the millionaire
counetnance loses its former express
sion of wrapt interest. He leans for
ward uneasily as the music bursts
in a glorious finishing fare.
PLAY 'Dearie,'" he commands.
Then the 100000 organ sends
forth the strains of that popular
ballad, ladies and gentlemen"
strains that the common instrument,
go-as-you-plGase house piano used to
know before everybody began doing
It,"
Usually a few repetitions of the
above ballad are enough to allow a
fresh start on the previous heavy
stuff. And so the hour of music
passes

10000 WIVES ARE WANTED
INTERESTING AND EXCITING is
SCHEME TO SUPPLY THEM.
darlington Railroad Has Undertaken
to Furnish That Number to the
Bachelors of Nebraska.

darlington Railroad Has Undertaken
to Furnish That Number to the
Bachelors of Nebraska.
Ten thousand wives are wanted by
the Burlington railroad in Nebraska
for 10, 900 bachelors living along the
line of that system in the country
west of the Missouri river. D. Glenn
Beaver of Omaha, industrial agent
of the railroad, will have charge OF
the pairing and mating, and when ne
opens his matrimonial agency 1t Will
be the biggest thing of the KIND IN
the country. 9
In the last few years thousands OF
Young men have taken up nome
steads in western Nebraska, Wyo-
ming. Colorado, South Dakota AMI
Montana. Because the country is so
sparsely settled women are very rev
and the homesteaders have not the
opportunity of becoming acquainted
with girls of a manageable age. In
fact, there are practically no girls OF
that age in that portion of the coun-
try, ,, -
To overcome this condition the
railroad decided to get into the bust
ness of furnishing wives to the young
farmers in the territory served by
its trains. Mr.. Beaver is not quite
ready for the applications yet, Dut
eypects to be in the line for such
before winter.
The idea is the outgrowth OF the
results attained by club OF youns
bachelor ranchers in the Big Horh
basin, who last year banded tnem-
selves together and started on a nunt
for wives. There was something IKE
40 to so members of that bachelors
club. There were virtually no un-
married women in the basin. me
boys got busy, appointed secretary
and used the want ads in NUMBER
of big city newspapers. In about SIX
months the bachelors club was dls-
banded and it's place was formed the
GRAY Bull Social Circle. Every Dach-
elor had secured wife. Now, IN
stead of being the toughest portion
of the Big Horn basin, hlled Win
wild cowboys and dissatisfied nome
steaders, the Gray Bull valley Is Ine
most serene section of Wyoming.
Mr.. Beaver is at present gettlhg
in touch with those homesteaders
and cowboys who want wives. Al
terward he will work the other enc
of the contract. His plan is to hTst
find the husbands and later the
wives.
For the women the railroad people
expect to go to the large cities, the
small towns and the farms OF the
central and eastern states. Photo
graphs will play a large part in the
selection. Each girl will be expected
to furnish a description of her ideal
man, and the railroad people Will
then try to bring together men and
women who suit each other.

Temperance Sentiment in Georgia.
The liquor press of the state has
sought to make the impression tnat
the temperance cause is losing out
in Georgia. AS proof of a change IN
the public mind on the temperance
question it is published in big mead
lines that Alexander was deteateo
for governor and Tippins for the leg
islature. The fact is that at least
half of the vote cast for Mr.. Slaton
is prohibition; many of the counties
that gave him a majority elected pro-
hibitionists to the legislature. ADD
the prohibition votes cast for Mr..
Slaton and for Mr.. Hall to the vote
of Mr.. Alexander and the prohIbl-
tfonists will have more than 2O,OOO
majority of the popular vote. Mr..
Tippins was not defeated because ne
is for prohibition and introduced the
Tippins bill. The man elected over
him is as strong an advocate OF
prohibition as Mr.. Tippins. The leg
islature-elect has as large prohibit
tion majority as the legislature or
1912. At the right time and IN
way that will not entangle the ques-
