A WHITE HAS'S COLOHT.
Savannah News : There are.those
who hare the idea that white labor
cannot be successfully employed in
agriculture in the South. It .is an
errer, of course ; nevertheless there
. are those who believe it. Anether
belief that has many- adherents is
that the presence of the colored
people in the South keeps out of
this section a desirable class of
white immigrants from the Northern
and Western States and' from
abpad. It is a fact that the South
has not had the benefit of any con
siderable amount of immigration
dnring many , years, and that her
growth has been principally from
wiihin the natural increase of her
population. There have been some
few colonies planted in the South,
to be sure, and a dripping-in of im
migration, but there has been noth
ing like the great tide that has
flowed to the Middle West and the
Northwest for quite a long time.
A colony company has been re
cently formed which has for its pur
poses the demonstration of the fact
that white labor can be profitably
employed on Southern farms, , and
to ascertain if it is true that the
presence of the negroes is a "bar to
the more rapid settlement and de
velopment of the country. The
company has purchased a tract of
fertile lands in Alabama, the area
being almost as great as that of the
State of Rhode Island. On this land
it is proposed to plant a distinct
ively white man's colony. Each per
son who is permitted to settle on it
must give a guarantee that he will
employ white help solely on the
farm, in the kitchen and- every
where else about the premises.
On its part the company will
guarantee that lands shall be
sold only to white settlers. Thus
the matter of race antipathy on the
part of European whites and
whites from the North and West
will be put to the test. Set
tlers in the proposed colony, will not
come into contact with the black
people except in so far as they may
themselves densire it, nor will they
come into competition with them as
laborers. In the Alabama settle
ment the whites will be separated
from the blacks as effectually as
they are in Minnesota. The experi
ment is one that will be watched
with interest.
There is room and abundant op
portunity for fortune in the South
for tens of thousands of thrifty,
industrious white immigrants. There
are no richer lands in the world than
those of this section. Once get the
tide of immigration started in this
direction and it would flow in
steadily, almost of its own volition.
But getting it started is the trouble.
It may be that this Alabama experi
ment will be of assistance in getting
the movement started.
YEAH OF LIOHTHIHG.
Atlanta Journal: There is a curi
ous psychological distinction which
divides people into two classes
those who are afraid of thunder and
lightning, and those who are not.
As a general rule, women belonging
to the former class and men to the
latter, but one frequently meets with
women who are lacking in this fear,
and men who have it strongly mark
ed. It may be safely stated that
fear of lightning is the rule and the
lack of it is the exception, in both
sexes, though the . stronger sex
makes a more uniform endeavor to
conceal it. The trait is not. one to
be ashamed of, and does not neces
sarily betoken any lack of real cour
age, being, nervous rather than
mental or moral. In some cases per
sons devoid of this truly natural in
stinctan instinct which in prehis
toric times led the caveman to seek
refuge In his cavern will expose
themselves, in the most foolhardy
manner rushing out on verandas
and even standing under trees dur
ing the most dangerous thunder
storms. .
The lightning is the commonest
and the most impressive of Nature's
electrical displays. On' account of
its mystery and violence, it has from
the remotest times been regarded as
a direct action of divine power. So
we find the Greeks calling their su
preme deity, Zeus, "the thunderer,"
and the Romans making mention of
"Jupiter tonans. Similarly, the
Old Testament frequently associated
lightning and thunder with the Al
mighty. Through the middle ages,
and up to the early part of the last
century, this reverence for thunder
as a divine manlf estation continued.
Now that electrical .discovery has.
referred these phenomenal purely
natural causes and has to alarge ex
tent explained away the mystery of
the lightning, there is a tendency to
err in the opposite direction. People
seem to forget that these phenomena
are no less manif estatlons of divine
Power because they are blown to be
produced by a difference pf electrical
potential between the earth and the
upper atmosphere. God works
through laws, in deed, but . no leu
surely and nor less designedly than

If the price of pig iron is an un
failing sign of industrial conditions,
it seems that the corner has been
turned in the long boom this coun
try has enjoyed. Four cuts, aggre
gating $2.75 per ton, have occurred
since March, but the price is still
12 higher than it, was a year ago;
Steel billets are said to sell some
times now $2 or 3 below the ruling
figure. The fact, however, that the
price of pig is still $2 above what it
was a year ago, shows that the line
of prosperity remains high. Till re
cently large quantities of iron were
being bought abroad in -spite of the
tariff, owing to, the insistent de
mand here, notwithstanding our
enormous production. With lower
prices the disposition of railroads to
defer purchases may be changed
and business will continue brisk.

could have carried his point if he
had chosen to do so, and he only de
sisted from his purpose at the urgent
telegraphic solicitation of the .Presi

making the announcement that he

bt Telegrapn to toe Morning Btar
Washington, June 3. Bids were
opened at the Navy Department to
day for the construction of the Minne

16,000 ton battleships authorized by
the last Congress, each to cost not ex
ceeding $4,212,000.
The Newport News Bhlpbuildinr
Company, of Newport News, Va.,
were the lowest bidders for one vessel,
the William Cramp & Son Ship and
Engine Building Company were the
only bidders for more than oneahip.
Following are the bids:

to be completed in forty-two months
from date of contract, $4,110,000; Wil
liam Cramp and Son 8hip and Engine

London, Conn., one vessel, forty-two
months, $4,192,000; New York Ship
building Company, one vessel, depart
ment's plana, forty-two months, $4.
156,000. It is supposed that the unsettled la
bor conditions throughout the coun
try is the cause of the small number
of bidders, and for the fact that only
one company bid on more than one
ship.
These battleships willbe the most
powerful vessels of the American
navy. They will have a required
speed of eighteen knots and a displace

Judge Brown says in his deciaion
that the purnose shown in breakino-

but to drive him from Wilson, an un
lawful act In such a case, where
murder ensues, he holds that though
a conspiracy has been entered into,

it is murder in the second degree, and

clares that the judges have it In their

INCUBATORS VER8U8 HEN8.
ia Why tbe Former Are Better'
For Hatehina; PvrposeaV
The day la past when the enslve,
poultryman tries to hatch ivith. fens?
as the way is entirely too slow. By theJ
old way when he wanted to set 100 0$
200 eggs, as the case might be, he-had
to find nine or ' eighteen broody henji
and as many separate nests. Then .they
must each be tested with artificial
eggs to see if they all really were hv
earnest, and this took nearjy, a week,
and consequently this much" time" was
lost
The incubator saves this time, and
one will do the work of all these-'benb.'
Then after the hens were set tjiejj
must -be fed and watered daly and let
out for exercise for at least fifteen or
twenty minutes, and then their keeper;
must see that each one gets on herj
own nest This must be done daily for
about twenty-six days, Including the
test days, and yet I have said nothing
abqut 'dusting for lice andthe .wasTaing
of some of'the eggs which are sureto1
become dirty and the repairing of
nests as a further result
If all hens would behave just alike,
the task would not be quite so hard,
but they will not as some are over
anxious and continually fuss and turn
their eggs and break them In tneir ef
forts to do well, no matter what kind
of nest they have. Tbe incubator la
not subject to this failing, but staya
quietly, in its place, and no brokeneggs,
or crushed chicks are found. The best
incubators require but flye or ten min
utes' attention dally and can be&ept
In a room of the dwelling or outsheij'
near by and can be looked after veryi
easily, while a sitting hen is such a"
disagreeable thing that she is best kept'
at a' distance. The incubator has an
other strong point in its favor from the
fact that It is willing to sit when
wanted, and this is a matter of no small
note," as the chick that is ready for
sale when broiler prices are highest is
the money maker of the market chick- -ens,

PROFITS IN CAPONS.
They Are Net So Large a.a Formerly.
A Few Pointers.
The demand, consequently the mar
ket for capons is a peculiar one. While
there is a very limited demand during
the entire year, the bulk of them are
sold between the holidays and spring.
The turkey holds the place of honor at
Thanksgiving, divides ft ! with . ducks
and ' geese at Christmas and New
Year's, and when these are past there
is more inquiry for capons, which con
tinues till April or May. So little call
is there for them outside of this season
that many if not all dealers cease quot
ing prices at other times.
The profit in capons is a mooted ques
tion. It will not pay to- perform the
operation on any but the larger breeds,
and there are many individuals and
many localities where it will not pay
at all. While good capons usually sell
for somewhat higher prices than roast
ing chickens, the difference in price be
tween the two is less than formerly. In
Boston it is said that the large part of
the canons are dressed clean and sold
"as "south shore roosters." A capon
must be fed for so long a time before
marketing that the feed bill eats up a
large part of the extra price. .
Many poultrymen say that there Is
more profit in keeping pullets for eggs
In the space that would be occupied by
capons. But locality and circumstance
must decide this point. A poor capon
will bring no more than a chicken. The
small sizes of capons, about five or six
pounds, sell quite readily, but at lower
prices. The large ones weighing nine,
ten and twelve pounds, or even more,
bring higher prices per pound. They
take the place of turkeys to a consider
able extent
The methods of dressing vary some-'
what fox different markets, and it is
wise for the grower to learn from the
dealer or commission merchant in the
market to which he purposes shipping
as to any special demands. They are
usually and always for best markets
dry picked. It is customary with most
growers to leave on the feathers of the
neck, tail and wings. Some leave on
more than others, but the carcass must
show up Its plump proportions and rich
yellow color. For they must be well
fattened. Sometimes I have seen ca
pons in market which were well grown
and fattened, but which had been
scalded, badly dressed,' feathers all off
and which sold for no more than the
same grade of chickens. A little extra
care In dressing and packing would
have paid handsomely. Dry picking Is
something that It seems impossible to
teach except by actual practice. In
Bhort it is a sort of knack with some
people. F. H. Valentine "in American

COTTON MARKETS
BY fslesramj to Um Moraine star
New Yobk, June 3. The cotton
market opened firm at am advance of
four to seveu points, and while not
active showed further firmness imme
diately following the call under bet
ter Liverpool cables, moderate re
ceipts for tbe day and covering, in
connection with buying orders - from
Southern sources, notably from New
Orleans, the headquarters of the bull
leader, where the market closed owing
to the holiday. Speculation was not
active, but the bears seemed disinclined
to sell freely owing to the uncertainty
of the showing to be made in the
monthly report of the government to
morrow, and the bulls met little oppo
sition, prices going up quite reaaily to
a level net five and ten saints higher.
At this point demand fell off and there
was enough realizing to impart an
easier tone to values, which sagged
off from four to seven points from the
best of the morning. Then came
another rally under . renewed cov
ering, brought about by the
moderate estimates - for to mor
row's receipts and the low temperature
recorred in important sections of - the
belt, which were thought likely to re
tard growth, and the market up to the
beginning of the last hour ruled about
steady . at a "little over last night's
finals. Following .. this, . however,
there was more active selling for both'
accounts, attended bv eanMn.
able talk of - a better govern
ment report than expected, and
consequently a report which had been
over-discounted, and prices were forced
down to a new low level for the day,
closing at about the lowest except
July, which recovered four points of
Its loss, just; before the finish. The
market was finally steady, net two
points higher to eight points lower.
Sales futures were estimated at 100,
000 bales.
