We had a fruit growers convention
here last week and learned a good deal
about exterminating these pestiferous
thiugs, both visible and invisible. It
' is a right good education to hear such
experienced men talk as Mr. Miller,
Colonel Nesbitt and Mr. Starnes. I
w ish the convention would meet here
once a month. My respect for horti
. culture and horticulturists is very
great, i lie iiercmuans and Mr.Knmph
and Dr. Jones have done a world of
good in advancing the growth of fruit
trees and diffusing knowledge among
. the people. Mr. Miller, too, though
more recently doir-iciled among us. is
already a household word in this part
oi ueorgia.
The growing of fruit is no donbt the
eldest occupation known to man. It
most happily combines physical labor
witn scit-ntiilc study and the reward is
Msejjul, gratifying and refining. There
" is no doubt bnt fruit and vegetable
were the only food of mankind for
' l.fiOO years after man was created. I
alluded to this in a little talk I deliv
ered to tho convention, and some of
my Bible-reading friends have since
questioned me about it and asked for
my authority. They reminded me
that Abel's sacrifice was from his
flocks and was more acceptable than
Cain's offering of the fruits of the
ground. It does not follow, however,
that the flocks were for food. Only a
few of the animals were fit for any
thing and these few, such as domestic-
cattle, were required for beasts of bur
den and tilling the soil and furnish
ing clothing.
"And tho Lord made coats of skins
and clothed them."
"Before the fall, and while Adam
and Eve lived in the garden of Eden,
the fruit c f the trees and the herbs
therein were their only food. After
they were driven from the garden the
Lord said:
"Thou shalt eat the herb of the
field. In the sweut of thy face shalt
thou eat bread. And God sent him
forth from the garden to till the
ground whence he was taken."
There is nothing abont eating flesh
up to that time. Before Eve was crea
ted the Lord said to Adam:
"I have given you every herb and
the fruit of every tree and to you it
shall be for meat."
lie gave Adam dominion over the
animals and Adam named them, but
nowhere is it intimated that they were
for meat.
Now let us i ass down the genera
tions nntil after the flood, "And God
said to Noah, The fear of you shall be
upon eveiy beast of the earth and
every fowl of the air and the jishes of
sea; and every moving thing that
liveth shall be meat for yon. Even as
- the jreen herb haye I given you all
things. But fles-h, with the life there
of, which is the blood thereof, shall ye
not eat" -'
When Moses came he limited the
kind of animals that might be nsed
for food. Swine were especially pro-
' Libited and to this day no Jew will
make a hog of himself by eating hog.
Flesh eating has never been consider
ed refining or spiritualizing in its in
fluences upon our nature, and yet
there is - no doubt that the laboring
man needs animal food. Solomon says,
"Go not among the riotous eaters of
flesh." The ehildreu of Israel chided
Mosea for bringing them away from
the flesh pots of Egypt, nd so the
Lord sent tbein quails to eat for sap
per and manna for bieakftst. Even
some of our teeth are called canines,
from "canis," a dog, because we tear
flesh with them like a dog. As a man
grows old be cares less for flesh, but
his appetite for fruit never leaves him.
But if he dident lose bis liking for
flesh he couldn't eat much of it no- '
bow, for about that time be loses hia
teeth and Providence adrr.onisrjs him
that it is time to prepare for that spir- j
' itual food that cometh from above, j
There i." a food of the gods called am
broBiii, but it is made of fruit and not
of flesh. Cannibals love flesh raw
flesh, bloody flesh, and even eat hu
man flesh, and they are next to dog
in the scale of creation. No, there ia

STATUE OF WASHINGTON, UNVEILED IN PHILADELPHIA BY TEE PBESIDENT.
NEW WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
I am free to confess that I am not yet
old enough or saint enough to refuse
to dine on turkey or fried chicken or
quail on toast. Goldsmith's hermit
was dreadfully heartbroken when he
said:
"So flocks that room the valley Iree
To slaughter I condemn:
Taught by that power that pities mo,
1 learn to pity them."
That was all right until he found his
Angelina and then T reckon he killed a
chicken for breakfast. But it is a fact
that mostkiud-hcartcd people will con
fess, that if they had to kill their own
sheen and bullocks and chickens for
4ood they would do without flesh for a
long time. It takes a hard heart and
a strong man to butcher a lamb, and
yet it has to be done. I don t mean a
hardened heart, but a heart
that will not faint at
sight of pain or blood. My mother
would not kill a chicken, but she would
dress it and cook it without objection.
I have wrung their heads off, but I
wouldn't do it now for my own sake.
As we grow older we grow kinder and
have more respect for the life that God
gave to all his creatures. That is, except
snakes. I never hesitate about kill
ing snakes. Uncle Sam killed a little
one in the lower corner of the garden
last week and my wife hasent been in
those parts since, for she still insists
that were there is one there are two.
But I don't blame woman for her
antipathy to snakes. They gave old
mother Eve a great trouble and it has
survived to all her daughters. "In sor
row thou shalt bring forth children
and thy desire shall be to thy husband
and he shall rule over thee." What
an awful curse 1 especially the last.
It was hard, very hard, on Eve; for
the command not to cat of the tree of
knowledge was not given to her, but
to Adam before Eve was created.
Maybe Adam did not tell her in an
impressive manner.
Nevertheless the curse is upon her
and will remain so nntil she joins the
angels, I reckon. Bill Aiu in Atlan
ta Constitution.
Firing Under Water.
A stage was erected In the haroor of
Portsmouth within the tide mark; on
this an Armstrong gun of the one hun
dred and ten pound pattern was
mounted. The gun waa then lodded
and carefully aimed at a target while
the tide was low. The target Itself
was placed only twenty-five feet from
the muzzle of the gun. It was com
posed of oak beams and planks, and
waa twenty-one Inches thick. In or
der to make the Griper Invulnerable,
a sheet of boiler plate three Inches
thick waa riveted to the water-logged
hull in direct range with the course the
ball waa expected to take If not de
flected by the water.
On all of these the oaken target.
the boiler plates, and the old vessel's
hull the effect of the shot from the
submerged gun waa really startling.
The wooden target was pierced
through and through, the boiler iron
target was broken into pieces, and
driven Into IU "backing," the ball
passing right out through both sides
of the vessel, making two huge holes,
through which the water poured In
torrent. Taken altogether, the ex
periment was an entire success.
The Swedes do not intend to let
their neighbor, the Norwegians, have
It all their own way with Arctic ex
piations, and it is said that an ex
pedition will be sent from Stockholm

f mposlna- Statue Unveiled In Philadelphia
by President McKlnley.
The 'Washington Monument, unveiled in
Philadelphia on Saturday by President
McKinley, Is an Imposing and beautiful
btructure. It has been erected by the Penn
sylvania Society of the Cinoinnatl, and is
presented to the city of Philadelphia. It is
in Fairmount Park at the Greon
street entranoo. The movement to
erect the monument had its incep
tion In 1810. A German sculptor,
Rudolph Slemering, designed it; and it waa
constructed abroad, arriving In this coun
try la 18S7.
The monument Is forty-four foet high.
An equestrian figure of Washington
stands twenty feet above tho pedestal
.At the four corners of the platform are
fountains served by allegorical figures
!of American Indians, representing the Del
aware, Hudson, Potomao and Mississippi
rivers. Each fountain is guarded on the
stiles by typical American animals the
moose, buffalo, deer and bear and on the
front and back of the pedestal are two alle
gorical groups.
LYNCHED THREE MEN.
A' Texas Mob Took the Prisoners From a
; Guard and Hanged Them From a Tree.
1 Dave Cotton, aged thirty-two; Berry
Williams, aged nineteen, and Sabe Stuart,
jaged twenty, all colored, were hanged by
a mob of between seventy-five and one
hundred men three miles from Rosebud,

county seat, to place them In jail. About
two and one-half miles from town they
iwere Intercepted and covered with pistols
by masked men, who took the prisoners
from the conveyance and hanged them to
an elm tree. The Sheriff offers frlOO reward
for the apprehension of the lynchers.
Falling- Off In Immigration.
The returns received by the Immigration
Bureau in Washington for several months
show a marked falling off in the number of
immigrant arrivals In this country. The
arrivals in the nine months ending March
U", JtW, was 112,941, as compared .with
209,630 for the same period in the preceding
year. Commissioner General Stump esti
mates that the decrease for the lineal year
ending on June 30 will be not less than
t'3,000.

One of Them Confessed Mad Killed One
Person and Kearly Killed a Score
The lynching Wa the Work or About
Twenty Mert and Theft1 Identity Has
Mot lleen Discovered by the Sheriff'
Bibwinoium, Ala. (Special). Molllo Smith
and Amanda Franklin, two young colored
women, were found at daybreak Wednesday
mornlug swinging from a tree on the road
botweon Jeff and' Huntsvillo, In Madison
County. The twenty men who had lynched
them had disappeared. The girls paid the
penalty of death for? poisoning the family
ef Joshua O. Kelly, a prominent cltlzon of
Joff. Beveral attempts have been made to
poison the Kelly family. The first was made
two months ago. Mr. Kelly and his family,
consisting of eleven persons, arose from the
supper table one night suffering from terri
ble pains, and the next day Mr, Kelly died in
great agonv. It was ascertained that ar
senid had got Into the coffee, but it was
thought then that It was an accident.
Eleven persons set up with the body of Mr.
Kelly the night after his death. Toward
midnight they partook of some sausage.and
at once became iil4 Fortunately there was
a pbyslciun in attendance, and no fatali'.y
resulted. Last Frida all the members of
the family arose from th: breakfast table
with terrible cramps in the stomachi Al
though none has yet died, several are still
in a dangerous condition. This time it de
veloped that the poison was in the bread.
Suspicion was then directed to Mollie
Smith, a young colored girl, Who had
formerly worked In the family, and a search
of her house was made. Mollis had anti
cipated the visit, and had started to Ten
nessee on foot. Amanda Franklin, Mollie's
suocessor in the Kelly home, was also sus
pected. Twenty men gathered Wednesday.
Some of them started out to capture
Mollie, whom they overtook some
ten miles away. The Franklin girl was
found at her home, in bed. She was
told to get up and dress, and go with
the posse, which she did. The Franklin
cirl srave way when she was cross-ques
tioned, and Anally made a clean breast of
the whole affair. She confessed to the last
poisoning, but said Mollie Smith had put
the poison in the coffee and sausages, and
had persuaded her to poison the bread,
Which she did while carrying the flour of
which it was made from the pantry to the
kitchen.
The Smith girl dented everything, even
When faced with the Franklin girl and the
latter s confession. The posse, satisfied of
the guilt of the two girls, carried them to
the woods, a short distance from Mollie
Smith's house, and, deaf to tears, prayers
and screams, tied ropes about their necks
and hanged them to a tree, waiting quietly
until it was evident they were dead. With
out a word they then stole away In the
darkness. There will probably never be a
clew to their Identity.
ioY MURDERER HANGED.
Elmer Clawson the Voung-est Person Ever
Ezecated In Mew Jersey.
Elmer Clawson, a boy of nineteen years
of age, was hanged Wednesday in the Som
erset County Jail at Somerville, N. J., for
the murder of Harry Hodgett, his former
employer. He was the youngest murderer
exeouted In the State, and next to the
youngest person convicted of a capital crime
In New Jersey. The drop fell at 10.07
o'clock, a. m., and in nine minutes the
young murderer was pronounced dead.
Before the- execution he admlted his guilt
and expressed contrition for his crime.
He was attended by Rev. J. O. Wiemer of
the Methodist Episcopal Church of Somer
ville, who said that he had baptized the

The crime for whloh Clawson paid the
death penalty was committed at 6 o'clock
on the morning of August 29. 1896. The
victim was his former employer, Harry
Hodgott, an Englishman,, thirty years of
age, the owner of a small farm at Pluck
amln. Clawson demanded work and a

young man of having robbed him while in
his employ a year before. During a quar
rel the youth shot Hodgett. The murderer

TRANSVAAL'S REPLY DEFIANT.
Insists Upon Its Rights and Suggests Ar
bitration With England.
A dispatch from Cnpe Town, South Af
rioa, says that the reply of the Transvaal
Government to the strong note, said to
amount to an ultimatum, from the Secre
tary of State for the Colonies, Joseph
Chamberlain, insisting upon observance of
the London Convention, is dellant in tone.
It insists, the dispatch adds, upon the right
of the Transvaal to demand arbitration of
the questions in dispute, and also upon its
right to pass the Alien Immigration law,
and asserts that, if the right is disputed,
arbitration is the best means of arriving at
a settlement of the question.

The first experimental exportation I

from New York City, when the Govern
ment, through an agent sent by the Agri
cultural Department, shipped three quar
ters of a ton of selected utter for sale in
Europe. The result of this experiment is
bt groat Importance to the agricultural ln
terests, as it is the first step in an effort of
the Government id extend materially the
market for American buttof and gain some
of the trade with Great Britain in particu
lar which Denmark practloally controls
with considerable profit. An incidental
object Is to determine what improvements
are needed in transportation facilities.
Some butter Is now being sent abroad by
prlvato firms, but it is alleged to be of in
ferior grades. Unsatisfactory storage in
Orosslng tlte ocean and carelessness lu leav
ing tho shipments on uncovered piers at
Southampton before being loaded into
freight Can, thus making the butter soft,
have further deteriorated its value iu the
English market.
The butter sent comes from the Iowa
Agricultural Collogo and a creamery at
Windsor, Vt. Subsequent shipments whloh
Will bo made during the summer at inter
vals will be of butter from other places. To
build up a high standard only the best
grades will bo shipped, and the butter will
brt sold at the provaillng market prioes.
The present shipment went on the steamer
St. Paul, and will be kept at alow tempera,

different sizes to determine whloh is most
satisfactory. A Department agent will
meet the ship at Southampton, England,
and take proper care of the product and at
tend to its sale. The appointment of but
ter agents by the Department at New York

Ex-Confederates Take Prominent Parts In
the Ceremonies.
The State Enoampment, Grand Army of
the Republlo, at Lexington, was the most
remarkable ever held in Kentuoky, from
the fact that ex-Confederates took the
leading part in the exercises, and only one
Union soldier made a set speech.
Captain Stephen G. Sharp, an ex-Confederate,
was the Chief Marshal of the day.
Colonel William C. P. Breckinridge, an ex
Confederate, made the address of welcome.
Judgo Jerre R. Morton, an ex-Confederate,
presented the encampment in a neat
speeoh with a gavel made from wood grown
on the battlefield of Chlokamauga.
The only Federal soldlor to make an ad
dress was General Samuel E. Hill, Adjutant
General of Kentucky under Governor Buok
net. He accepted the gavel on behalf of
the Grand Army of the Kepublio, Ho made
what was considered the best speech of tho
afternoon, and when he spoke of how the
Old soldiers had burled the hatchet he asked
Judge Morton to rise. They olaBped hands,
and in this position Goneral Hill finished
bis address amid deafening and prolonged
applause. Then live hundred school chil
dren sang "Dixie."
About 12,000 persons were in attendance.
The parade was participated in by allot the
larger Southern military organizations.
The enoampment was held at the Chau

"BILL" STRONC SHOT DEAD.
The Famous Kentucky Mountain Fighter
Assassinated,
Captain William Strong, tho greatest
mountain fighter in eastern Kentuoky, died
With his boots on a few days ago, after hav
ing successfully dodged rifle bullets for
twenty-five years. Ha had left his homo,
which is about ten miles east of
Jackson, to go to the house of a
neighbor, and had been gone only a
few minutes when his family was startled
by shooting, which appeared to be not more
than half a mile away. Members of the
family ran toward the placo where the
sound of shooting was and found Strong
dead on the roadside, seven bullets having
penetrated his body.
Strong was lying on his back witli his
revolver In his right hand. The revolver
had barely been drawn from his pocket
when a bullet broke the arm. Not a shot
had been fired from the revolver. .
Investigation showed that a blind had
been constructed in a place immediately
above the road commanding a ful. view of
the thoroughfare for a distance of several
nundrnd yards. H.-raps of bread and meat
were found behlnH the blind, and other
signs which showed that several men had
been hiding there for Strong.
