DRUG Habit GROWS IN GEORGIA
Its Menace Shown by State Drug In
spectOr Cheatham and State
Chemist Stallings.

The growing menace of the drug
habit in Georgia is very strongly
brought out in conservative state
ments of the state chemist and state
drug inspector, in their annual re-
ports, as embodied in the bulletin on
food and drugs just published.
DR.. r. E. StaIlings, state chemist,
thus succinctly but impressively di-
reefs attention to the evil:
Among the drugs aualyzed this
year were number of samples of
cocaine, which the inspector found
was being sold legally
In his report the state drug inspec-
tor, DR.. T. A. Cheatham, shows an
analysis of fifteen samples, all sold
by drug concerns in Georgia, which
were sold in violation of tie narcotic
laws of the state. Every sample
found was cocaine, and in every in
stance it was in the hands of negroes.
This is taken as an indication of the
general and deadly use of the drug
among the negroes. 1t is urged that
all the forces of the law be combined
to break up the sale of the stuff lille
gally 1t is illegal to sell cocaine in
Georgia except on the written pre-
scription of a reputable physician,
and emphasis is placed on the rep
utable."
DR.. Cheatham, in commenting on
the situation says:
LAS regards the sale of narcotic
drugs this situation will continue
as long as our people are not edu-
Gated to a higher standard of the
proper observances of the narcotic
law. When they are they will place
the unqualified and unmistabIe seal
of their disapproval on the VIOLA
ton

TO RESCUE GUNS FROM SEA.
French Ministry of Marine to Raise
1000 in Water 222 Years.

The French ministry of marine has
invited bids for raising 1000 brass
guns which have lain undisturbed for
222 years in the Bay of Fort La
Hougue, on the English channel.
The point was the scene of the
five days battle of La Hougue in
May, 1892, when seven warships
were sunk The combined British
and Dutch fleets, under supreme
command of Admiral Russell, after
wards Earl of Oxford, consisted of
eighty-two ships of the line. The
French fleet, under Admiral Count
de Tourville, numbered forty-four
large ships and a number of briggs
and gunboats. After their defeat by
the allies twelve French ships were
cut down and burned by boat ex-
pedition under Sir George Rookie,
better known as the captor of Gil

INSURANCE IS Big ITEM
Big League Base Ball Clubs Pay Pre-
miums on $3,OOO,OOO Worth of
Accident Policies.

Fourteen major league ball clubs
| are paying premiums on nearly 3d.
; 100000 worth of accident insurance
covering their men while travelling
The only teams whose men are not
covered by such insurance are the
Cincinnati Nationals.
The New York National league
club carries the heaviest insurance
of any club in the big leagues. Its
players are insured under a blanket
policy that places a premium around
$4,000 on each of its players. In
addition to this it carries $40, 900
extra on Mathewson and $150,000
on Manager McGraw, a record pre-
MUM.
Walter Johnson, the Washington
pitcher, recently was insured for
100000, while a 100000 policy
has been carried for a number of
years on Ty Cobb, the wonderful Ii
ger outfielder. Hans Wagner of the
Pirates, Nap Lajoie Of the Maps, iris
Speaker of the Red Sox, Eddie Col
Inns of the Athletics, Joe Wood Of
the Red Sox and many other stars in
both leagues are said to be insured
for amounts ranging from $4,000
to $4,000
The Detroit club, in addition to its
policy on Cobb, has the entire team
insured. Some are insured for So
900, others for $500 and the rest
for $4,000, according to their value
to the team. Hughie Jennings, the
manager, is said to be insured for
$4,000.
The St. Louis Cardinals carry a
policy of 100000 on the entire
team, and an extra $4,000 on it's
manager. The Chicago White Sox are
insured for $4,000 each, under a
blanket policy, which makes the to-
tai amount around 100000, as ad-
ditional insurance is carried on the
manager.

than half of them will say: "Har-

FARMERS ARE USING ELECTRICITY
Number of Farms Installing Elec-
tricaI Facilities Is Increasing Al
most Daily in Georgia.

ATLANTA.-The use of electricity
is no longer restricted to large plan
tations since the mysterious power
was put at the door of everybody by
the building of the huge tower lines
from Tallulah, according to records
being compiled here for Georgia ter
ritOry.
Electricity is becoming just as es-
sential on the small farm as on the
large. Even the sO-called chicken
farm" in scores of instances. is in
stalling wiring. During the short
days of winter a great deal of work
done about a chicken plant has to be
done during the hours of darkness,
when some convenient and safe form
of artificial lighting is absolutely
necessary. 1t has been said upon
good authority that electric lamps
have a stimulating effect upon the
laying hens when placed in the chick
en- pens. By turning on the lights
an hour before daylight and keeping
them on an hour after sunset the
chickens have more time to exercise
and eat, and consequently lay more
eggs.
According to the officers of the
Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany, who are especially interested
in the agricultural end of electrical
development, the number of farms
installing electric lighting and other
electrical facilities is increasing al
most daily in Georgia.

restored to health.
Catarrh of the throat is not only an
annoying disease of itself, but it ex-
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
into our threats numerous atmos-
pheric germs. Disease germs of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided. If
the throat is healthy the system is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But if the throat is raw and
punctured with numerous little I'LL
GERS, by catarrh, then the disease
germs have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle

DRAMATICHSTATENENT
MADE IN COURT BY LEO FRANK
BEFORE BEING RESENTENCED.
81 Am a Man Born to Face and En-
dure That Which Chance of Fate
May Bring" He Told Judge.


ATLANTA, Feb. TT am con-
demned The shadow of physical
death does not dismay me. If such
be my end l shall go to it without
qualm. | am a man born to face and
endure that which chance of Fate
may bring"
These dramatic words are uttered
by Leo Frank in a statement that
was issued to the newspapers Satur-
day afternoon after Judge Ben Hill
had sentenced him to die on the
scaffold April IT, this year-the con-
victed mans birthday, at which he
will be 80 years of age.
In the sight of God and in His
name, by the honor which | hope will
be restored to me, by everything
which a man may hold sacred, |
swear that / am innocent of the
crime he declares in a paragraph
Of his statement.
Small Crowd Present.
Only a small audience witnessed
the resentencing. At the opening
the prisoner made dramatic state
ment.
Leo Frank, stand up" command
ed Judge Hill. Is there any reason
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced upon you? Mr.. Arnold, have
you anything to say?"
These final words were addressed
to Reuben Arnold, associate counsel
for the defense. Mr.. Arnold replied
that he had nothing to say, but that
he thought his client desired a few
words with the court.
Tereupon Frank arose and made
the following statement:
Franks Statement.
MAY it please your honor, I wish
the court to understand that | am
speaking impersonally and without
feeling for my own fate.
Il know full we'll that your honor
had naught to do with the various
viccistudes with which my case has
been hedged.
But | wish to say in your pres
ence and in the presence of the Su-
preme being whose eye is now upon
us that | am innocent of the murder
of little Mary Phagan and I have no
knowledge of how it occurred.
In the name of the law there have
been many grievous errors commit
ted. The law states that where one
life is lost the life of the one who is
responible for the death must be for
feited, but it does net say that there
must be blood sacrifice of the one
who is suspected of being the slayer,
though there is no proof of his guilt
of the crime.
What a spectacle it vii be, your
honor! The state will be guilty Of
murder in the event that the SEN
on me is carried out.
''If the sentence which yau are
about to pronounce is executed | will
be thrust over the eternal abyss. But
| will go before a Higher Judge. Be-
fore Him I will be adjudged innocent
of the great crime of which | have
been accused.
Your honor there has been a
great many things to enter this trial
which never should have come up.
Stories of the VileSt nature were cir
culated in regard to me. They were
false everyone, but they were in the
minds of those jurors when they
found the verdict of guilty against
me.
From men whose minds were
poisoned with this sort of venom the
jurors were chosen.
Your honor in this presence and
in the Divine presence again de-
