Please Pass the Poison.

If a bill introduced in the New
York legislature becomes a law red
skulls and cross-bones will adorn the
demon rum. The bill provides that
any package containing beverages
having more than two per cent of
alcohol in them must be SO marked
and must in addition be labeled
poison.
If the bill becomes law "please
pass the poison" will probably be-
come a popular phrase. 1t will re-
place have a smile" and probably
there viii be as steady demand for
antidotes the mornin' after as now.
We pity the man who "sees'
things drinking out Of bottle with
the skull and cross-bones glaring at
him in red.

NOT THE BOIL WEEVIL.

From the Progressive Farmer.
A reader says that many people in
his section contend that the boil
weeviIs destroy the cowpea crops. 3"
There is quite large number of in
sects which resemble the boil weevils
quite closely. In fact, some of them
look so much like the boil weevils
that it requires one familiar with
them to tell the difference, but so
far as known the true cotton boil
weevil eats nothing but cotton. At
least, it is quite certain that 1t is
not the boil weevils thPt damage the
cowpeas. If they are destroyed it is
by some other insect and not by the
boil weevils.

Georgia will have plenty of poll
tics this year because there are so
many big political prizes, but the
contests for the prizes will not be on
old political lines. The issues that
caused those lines to be drawn, that
divided the people into two political
factions, have virtually been decided
and much of the bitter feeling that
accompanied them has disappeared.
The division will be largely along
other lines in future contests.

The political situation is up in the

Confidence seems to be returning
to Wall street. Once a seat in the
stock exchange sold for $4,000, but
that was long ago when the lambs

must have been roster, for the price
jumped to $4,000. Evidently the

FLED FROM EnSs.GED WOMAN
Bear Proved More Than Matcn fer
Husband But Ran When At
tackled by Victims Wife.


A. B. McCIoskey. q farmer near
Hyner. was attacked by a she bear
IN his barnyard and SO seriously
wounded that it is feared he may die.
The bear came into the yard in search
OF food. McCioskey shot at the ami
mai with a small cali5er target gun
and wounded it,. The bear threw him
to the ground and badly mangled his
left arm and leg. The animal was
driven OF by Mrs. McCloskey, who
beat it with d club A party Of farm
ers started in pursuit of the animal
over the mountains later in the day.
The experience of McCIoskey is
unique in this section of the state and
caused great excitement in the vicin-
lty OF Hyner, where the party of farm
ers quickly gathered and started out
in pursuit of the bear, under the lead
ership of B. B. McCloskey, the Penn
sylvania railroad station agent at
Hyner, who is the wounded mans
brother. They hunted over the noun
tains near 'McCloskey's home during
the greater part of the day but were
unable to find any trace of the ami
NAL. The same bear is believed to
have carried off a live calf from a
neighboring farm several days ago.

Pigeons Fast FIiuht.

The Lanarkshire (Scotland) Homing
Federation had most successful race
from Dumfries the other week, and
many Of the birds covered the distance
to their lofts at speed of over sixty
miles an hour.
The fastest performance that has
been reported in the race was that OF
a pigeon belonging to Messrs. Steuart
Brothers of Larkhall, which accom-
plished the journey at the rate of fully
sixty-six miles an hour. In pigeon
flying these fast velocities can only
be accomplished when the birds have
the wind behind them, and should a
pigeon have to face a moderate head
wind, its speed would be only about
thirty niles an hour.
