VISITORS WILL SEE
PROWEss Of SOUTH

SAVANNAH, Ga, May 3O.-Thous-
ands of visitors from all parts of the
United States. Canada and even battle
rent Mexico, in Savannah for the Ma
ttonal Convention of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, August 14-19, will be
given an insight into the agricultural
Importance of the South.
On the day before the Convention
closes they will be given a boat ride
on the Savannah River to the Hermit
&c, one of the most famous plantations
in the South. There they will see me-
groes picking cotton in the fields and
Il sugar cane mill in operation. The
cotton has been planted especially for
the occasion and the sugar cane also
will be grown on the plantation. The
climax will be reached, when thous-
ands of juicy Georgia melons are cut
and served.
While this feature of the program
vas planned to show the agricultural
Importance of the South today it will
not be without ante-belIum atmos-
pierre. The stately mansion, which
for many years, was the home of the
McAlpine family, famous in the his
tory of Georgia and Chatham county,
was built long before the war between
tie States and is in excellent state of
preservation. 1t will be thrown open
to the public. Beneath the stately
trees in front, piccannies will dance
to the music of dozen banjos played
by gray-haired darkies and sing plan
tation melodies.
Among the interesting sights are
the cabins where the slaves lived.
They are much the same as they were
before the war. Through the open
doors black mammies will be seen.

The Funniest
Thing We Ever
Heard of Here

ATLANTA, Ga, May 30.-There are
twelve men in Atlanta who have little
heads of false hair which they get
cleaned and pressed once a week at a
ladies' beauty parlor. They are not
called wigs, but toupees. Most of
them are black, with fringes of dis
tinguished gray at the temples. They
are curly and parted in the middle. 1t
is not known, at the beauty parlor at
least, who these men are They may
be bank clerks, grown premature19
old and bald; or they may be first cit
liens, ashamed of their polished pates,
hiding them beneath toupees. For
their toupees are strictly sub rosa.
The tale of the twelve Atlanta men
with toupees, cropped out yesterday
in the pursuit of story by a local re-
porter concerning barber shops and
beauty parlors. Investigation by the
reporter showed that man can go to
the most expensive barbershop in At
lanta, run the gamut and emerge loser
by only $2.85. He can't spend any
more than that in barber shop, I'M
less it has Turkish bath attached.
A woman, on the other hand, can go
to a beauty parlor, order a full course
in cosmetics and if she does it every
day, break John D. Rockefeller before
Christmas.

MANY SCHEMES ON
NEW LIQUOR LAW

ATLANTA, Ca, May 30.-A constant
contest of wits goes on between the
detective department of Atlanta and
the blind tigers who devise all manner
Of schemes for evading the new pro-
hibition laws.
One of the latest tricks invented by
tie blind tigers is to transport liquor
from place to place in large milk cans.
Two detectives standing on Decatur
street saw couple of negroes with a
milk can, and they thought the can
smelled more like liquor than it
smelled like milk. Accordingly they
stopped the negroes and made care
ful examination, which verified their
suspicious.
Following the negroes to the place
where they were going, the detectives
discovered a large supply of corn LID
uor put up in pints and half pints, and
tile negroes in possession of the noun
tain dew gave the officers the location
of distillery in the north of Fulton
county where white lightning had been
produced in large quantities every day
since May 1.
Another smooth scheme that was
not quite smooth enough to get by the
blind tiger squad who have developed a
remarkably keen sense of smell where
liquor is concerned, was the transport
ing of liquor in the gasoline tank Of
an automobile. The negro driving
the car would fill only his emergency
tank with gasoline, and put liquor in
the main tank, which he dispensed at
so much per drink and so mucch per
pint.

sort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.

A RESUME Of MARKET
CONDITIONS PAST WEEK

A brief resume of the markets the
past week shows a decidedly unset
tied condition, almost the entire week;
especially was this true of cotton.
Prices fuctuated upon and down clos
ing on Saturday at decline of ap-
proXimately So bale from the recent
high point
Favorable weather and crop accounts
gave the situation a rather rosy hue
which was, no doubt, responsible for
the unsettled condition of the mar
ket. The decline was checked around
the II ga cent figure by the re-appear-
ance of a moderate demand from trade
interests. Those in close tuoch with
the situation confidently expect fav-
orable reaction in the market soon.
This opinion is based upon the reports
from the cotton belt, which go to show
that in some sections there is an over
abundance of rain, and in other Sec
tons termination has been slow with
the result that stands are poor and
cultivation has been retarded. The
general opinion among cotton men is
to the effect that this years crop will
not be large, hence good prices are
expected to prevail; in fact, the tone
OF some writer's would indicate that
prices are bound to reach an abnor-
mally high level.
Stocks were depressed, due mainly
to the British seizure of mails and
the strong note of protest sent by this
government. Railroad stocks were
seemingly the least affected and show
ed considerable activity.
Grain and provisions held their own
fairly well during the week; in the
latter part, however, rains in Okla
homa and Kansas caused a decline in
wheat of 2 to 5-S cents per bushel.
Meat, provisions and cereals were COM
paratively steady for the week, with
but slight indication of much fuctua-
ton for the week to come.
In dry goods trade was quiet, with
10 appreciable change in prices. The
general trend however, showing a dis
position to climb up. This is stock
taking period, which to some degree

Baby's Eyes.

The value of $4,000 is placed by a
California court on the eyesight of a
child, destroyed through the careless
ness of an attendant at the child's
birth. "A pair of baby's eles are
priceless" said the court.
And so they are-they cannot be pur-
chased at any figure. The mere none
tary recompense to the parent is moth
ing. For what mere money will atone
to the mother in her brief that her
child must be doomed to life
of night?
The eyes are priceless; they thrive
on care; they suffer from Indifference,
carelessness overwork, overstrain.
And when they go they never return.
