Santa Fe Issues New Cotton Order

Santa Fe Issues New Cotton Order.
Notice has been sent by officials of
the Santa Fe railway to all agents
concerning the new ruling by Judge
Burns of the federal court upon the
labelling of cotton bales to be shipped
abroad.
The clause in the bills of lading on
cotton demanded by the Maritime as
ISOLATION mot thoroughly covered
will be abandoned and the clause RE
ceived in apparent good order and
condition, baled in the usual American
method" will be substituted.
Heretofore the steamship agents, or
ganized as the various Maritime asso'
Citations, have insisted on the clause
mot thoroughly covered" appearing
on all cotton bills of lading, in order
that they would not be held respon'
sfble for any damage that might re-
suit to the cotton while enroute to
European ports.

OTTAWAs' BURIED TREASURE.
Bars of Gold Hidden in War Time
by Indians.

Where treasure hunters nearly &c
years ago dclvcd into the earth in
search of the buried boards Of the
Ottawas, workmen daily extract gravel
with pick and shovel.
The gravel Pit on the bank q the
Bear river in the southern part Of the
city was not always the prosaic
business enterprise il j. today, and il i
believed bv many that some day one OF
those workmen viii strike with his pick
an iron box and viii thereupon un-
earth the long-sought treasures.
As long as 30 years ago many encr-
getic fortune hunters dug holes IN the
sand. One old hermit by the name Of
Isaac Williams had special faith and
for years his daily occupation was the
the unceasing turning over of the soil.
Long after he gave up the struggle
for treasure and the struggle for exist
ence, other men and women cauld be
seen daily hiking to the scene of the
search armed with digging implements.

BOIL WEEVIL IS BEATEN.
President of the Southern Railway Tells
of Planters Success.


of Planters Success.
That farmers in the territory into
which the Mexican boil weevil has
spread, after having taken the advice
of agents of the Southern railway.
We're able to produce cotton success
fully. in spite Of the weevil, has been
demonstrated according to President
Finley of the railway company. who
lately made trip through the south
The practical demonstration of the
possibility Of controlling the weevi in
the territory east of the Mississippi
river he said, is one of more than
incidental Importance. 1t means that
the cotton is still to be the leading
crop in that territory. Special atten-
lion is being given to forage crops and
to corn. Formerly southeastern farm
ars bought large quantities of western
corn for their farm animals Now
there are many who have corn for
sale. The cotton crop in the south
east. while not as large as in some
years is good ana is being sold ut an
unusually good average price"
/ He declared that the general pros
4 perity Of the section is largely de
/ pendent upon agricultural conditions
and that farming in the southeast is
SO distinctivelE progressive that there
is every reason to look to the future

Two years of useful life are lost to

RADIO. whose report has just been is
sued by the United States bureau of
education in Washington
THE great mistake in our education
IS f. suppose" says The report. that
quantity and strain constitute educa-
ton. Education is question of doing
a few essential things we'll and with
ont overstrain The college has com
mitted a grieyous mistake in demand

that is likely not to end until all otli-

An investigation is to be held. War

The charges come as a complete sur

Atlanta penitentiary, while smaller
than the prison at Fort Leavenworth,

For Eastern Prisoners.

The Atlanta penitcntiary Is the place
to which are sent all persons convicted
in the United States courts in the east
ern states. Fort Leavenworth is the
destination of prisoners from the mid
die western states. The western priS-
on is at San Quentin, Cal.
Recently, within the last two years
in fact. a number of features have
been added at Atlanta which have at
tracted widespread attention among
the advocates of prison reforms. \
baseball league was organized among
the prisoners. with games every Sat
urday afternoon, which IS always a
holiday \ prison paper was estab-
lished ana published monthly under
the name Of Good Words. Already
there was a prison orchestra. and the
custom was inaugurated Of furnishing
music during meal time; also the han
of silence was removed during the
/ hours allotted to the prisoners fer play.
i OF all these things the public heard
until the impression grew that the At
/ lanta pcnitentiary was IN ideal place
