The assassination of King George
last week brings to mind the large
number of rulers who have met a
similar fate during the past cen
turY. While the list includes many
of the nations OF the earth, Eng
land, one OF the most important, is
not in the list. With few excep-
tions, the assassins were men OF
unbalanced minds, commonly
called ''cranks."
While the recent killing of Pres
ident Madero of Mexico is not in
cluded in the list, later develop
ments tend to indicate that it
should be.

writer to bear his testimony to the
fine traits of his charater. The
Methodist pastor paid q beautiful
tribute to the memory of his friend
and neighbor. He had found
Judge Bridewell to be q man of in
formation up to date, a thorough
student of the Bible and an expe-
rienced Christian. A large con-
gregation in the church was evil
dence of the high esteem in which
he was held. A long procession
of friends followed the remains to
the Beauregard cemetery.
''ludge BrideweIl belonged to a
class of which but few are lett in
our land. he represented the
customs and manners of ante
bellum days. From such men the
youth of the twentieth century
might learn some profitable les.
sons. He was a Gentleman of
the old school, The greater part
of his life was spent in the retire
ment of rural life. Such ability,
education, training, principles and
conscientiUusness would have made
him a tower of strength in the

slaughter Of Useful Birds.


The American people must a.
wake to a realizing sense of certain
facts that seriously affect the cosi
| of living. The 5000, 600 men and
boys who are slaughtering our
birds are levying tribute on every
American pocketbook. Do you
wish to know something about the
total that they add to the cost Of
living1 An immense number OF
birds of great economic value are
being slaughtered, annually. Many
of our best bird species are on the
toboggan.slide toward extermIna-
ton.
The destruction of these birds
means-A great increase in the
armies of destructive insects; a
great decrease in our agricultural
products, and a great loss to con.
sumers, and to farmers.
The insect pests are preying up
on everything of the vegetable
kingdom that man is producing,
and upon many domestic animals
as we'll. AS their bird enemies
decrease, the insect hordes in
crease. When 2,557,ooo acres of
wheat are destroyed in Indiana and
Ohio in one year by the Hessian
fly (Iooo), does anyone believe
that such an occurrence does not
raise the price of wheat7 Of the
loss to the wheat growers we are
absolutely sure.
In 1904, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture made
study of the annual losses to the
people of this country by the raw
ages of destructive insects. So far
as we know, the estimates pub
lished in the Year Book for 1oo4
have not been disproven or dis
puted. Behold some of the fig
ures:

THE FRIEDMANN CURE.

man Being Investigated.


Washington, March 2I.-The
public health service, through Sur
geon General Blue, issued its first
statement to-day relative to the
government investigation of DR..
Friedmann's alleged tuberculosis
cure. The statement which en-
phasizes the governments policy
to proceed cautiously is as follows:
"On March the Secretary OF
the Treasury, on the recommends
ton of the Surgeon General of the
Public Health Service, caused a
board OF medical officers to be de-
tailed to make thorough investi.
CATION Of DR.. Friedmann's alleged
cure for tuberculosis.
"These officers proceeded imme-
diately to New York and arranged
with DR.. friedman for demon
strations of bis remedy upon per
sons suffering from tuberculosis.
These demonstration are being
carried on in certain New York
hospitals through courtesy of their
respective authorities, and will be
continued until sufficient informa-
ton has been obtained for the
forming of an opinion as TO the
merits of the treatment. DR.. Fried
mann has submitted to the board a
culture of the bacteria which be
states are used IN his method of
treatment. In addition to the OBJ
servation of persons under treat
ment by DR.. friedman, the board
of officers will make experiments
to ascertain whether this culture
is, as DR.. Friedman claims, harm
less to warm blooded animals.
considerable time necessarily
will be required to carry out these
Investigations. The work will be
carried on as rapidly as possible.
''In the meantime the public is
informed of the inadvisability in
the great majority of cases of trav-
cling long distances in the hope Of
receiving treatment, as those Sc
lected for demonstration purposes
constitute only small proportion
of applicants.
sCertain statements purporting
to be expressions of the board Of
tcers of the public health service
carrying on the investigation have
appeared in newspapers. These
officers have expressed no opinion
to do so until the work has ad-
vanced sufficiently far to warrant
some conclusion in regard to DR..

Judge L. O. BrldeweIl.

In a letter to the Hazlehurst

experts in the Department of Ag-

facts.
Mr.. Editor:
If you have space for the above
clipping, and will print it, l think
it will be of interest to the thinking
farmers and land owners of this
county. 1t has not been very
many years ago since the farming
people were clamoring for the po-
sition of Secretary of Agriculture
to be created, and now after the
same has been done, and from the
Office of Secretary of Agriculture
such facts and figures emanate,
the people who are directly inter-
ested will either fail to inform
themselves, or disregard them.
There are now published by the
Department of Agriculture about
525 bulletins relating to farming
and kindred industries, that any
one can get by just asking their
Congressman for what they want,
and yet / venture the assertion that
there are very few, if any, in the
hands of farmers. These bulletins
cover every phase OF farming, and
every farmer should have all OF
them. All of them condemn the
wholesale killing of useful birds
(and most of them are usetul).
But on the contrary will kill, and
allow the birds to be killed, and
protect the Duzzard, and then
complain of the high cost of living.
How inconsistent.
Very respectfully yours.
PROGRESS.

Steak for Dinner on RuraI Routes

Steak for Dinner on Rural Routes.
Under the new parcel post law,
farmer residing on a rural route
desiring steak for dinner, can or
der it by telephone from a dealer
in the city or town in which bis
postofice is located and have it
delivered for FIVE cents. Or he can
get it from any point within fifty
miles for eight cents. As soon as
the possibilities of the new ar
rangement becomes generally
known the facilities of the postof-
6ce are sure TO be taxed to the linn
it in the interest of retail trade.-
Brookhaven Leader.
We feel sure that when the real
value of the parcel post is thor.
oughly appreciated, there will not
be a section of this or any other
county where a rural route can be
secured that will be without the
benefits and conveniences of a
route and its accompanying advan-
tages of the parcel post. Many
long and tiresome trips to town
can be saved by the modern con-
veniences, but their value is not
/ vet appreciated.
