HAVANNAH RIVER FISH. Georgia and Carolina in Harmony. Game Wardens. (Augusta Chronicle, 14th.) Yesterday morning was held a con ference between the committee of the South Carolina General Assembly, ap pointed to investigate the matter of flshways along the Savannah river, and a committee appointed by Mayor Dunbar at the request of Governor Smith. The committee from the Car olina General Assembly is composed of Senator J. K. Karie, of Oconee county, and Hon. E. M. Rucker and lion. B. E. Nicholson, from the lower bouse. The committee appointed by Mayor Dunbar was Nisbet Wingfield, John D. Twiggs. Jr., J. P. Verderv and T. S. Raworth. The B i ut conference was held at the Commercial Club on Monday night, and the committees again met yesterday morning, and a tour of in spection was made along the river and to the Augusta Dam. up at the locks, as the matter of having an adequate flshway put in the dam was the principal Item of strictly local in terest. Since 'he Augusta dam was Hrst built. Congress has passed a law. which provides that all dams put in navigable streams have such a fish way as will prevent the dam from obstructing the passage of Ash. lt has now been so long since the dam was built that the flshways are thought to be inadequate, and lt is for this rea son that the conference handled this phase of the situation. Mr. Wingfield assured the commit tees that the city would take up the matter, and have such improvements made as would leave the dam In such condition as to meet the requirements asked. It was agreed to request that an expert be sent from the fish com mission at Washington, who should select the most advantageous place for, and draw up satisfactory plans for the flshway. This will be done as soon as possible. Messrs. Earle and Bucker were both of the opinion, that, while the dam as it now is, might be sufficient to obstruct the passage of fish up the river, yet. owing to the numerous nets in the river below Augusta, a very small per cent of the fish really reach the dam, and the matter of a [?roper enforcement of the fish laws was an important part of the discus sion. With the fish laws properly enforced on the river, then an ade quate flshway in the dam would rem edy the trouble in regard to an ab sence of fishes higher up, as compar ed with the conditions which existed years ago. In this connection, a mea sure was drafted by the committees, a copy of which will he sent to the Georgia General Assembly, now In session. This measure provides for the appointment of a fish warden, at a salary of seventy-five dollars per month, whose duty lt ls to see that the fish laws are obeyed, and he ls to have the power to arrest without a warrant. It is thought that the mea sure will receive favorable consider ation at the present meeting of the house. The South Carolina committee feels confident that a like bill will pass the Carolina Legislature at the next ses sion. lt is the i lan to have ?he war dens work in conjunction, which will guard against any offender avoiding arrest by crossing from one State hank to the other. The Georgia Leg islature will he requested to provide half of the cost and maintenance of a launch, which shall be for the use of the two wardens, and the Legisla ture of South Carolina will be re quested to bear half the same ex penses. With such officers provided which will enable a strict enforce ment of the fish laws, it ls thought that much of the Illegal Ashing and trapping now being (lone below the city, will be done away with, and with an adequate flshway put In the dam up at the locks, every indication Is, that the people up the river will be enabled to enjoy the fishing which at one time was so plentiful in that section. It is the intention of the committee that the territory of the wardens In Joint action extend from the confluence of the Seneca and Tu galoo rivers to the mouth of the Sa vannah. The conference was closed yester day, and the committees will await the action of the city of Augusta in regard to the flshway in the dam. and the action of the State Legislature in providing for the officers and launch suggested.

The minister's wife was busily en gaged one afternoon mending the family clothes when a neighbor call ed for a friendly chat. After a few moments of news and gossip the caller remarked, as she bogan to In spect a basket of miscellaneous but tons, "You seem to be unusually well supplied with buttons of all kinds. Why, there's one like my husband had on his last winter's suit." "Indeed," said the minister's wife, with a slight smile. "Well, all those huttons were found in the contribu tion box, and I thought I might as well make some use of them. What must you go? Well, good-bye. Come again soon." "BRYAN" AND ..TAFT," TWINS. Incubator Babies aa Little aa the Can didates are Big. New York, July 15.-Many mem bers of the Italian colony at Coney Island joined to-day in the christen ing of Bryan and Taft Palaueno. the Incubator sons of Marie and Pas quale Palaueno. The twins were born on Saturday morning and their weight combined scarcely exceeded three pounds. Dr. Pierce realized that the boys could not be brought up under ordinary circumstances, and both were taken to the incubators at Dreamland. When the children were to be christened. Mrs. Palaueno, who is a j suffragette and an ardent supporter of William J. Bryan, insisted that one of the boys be named Bryan. Her husband, who ?3 a Republican elec tion district captain, agreed to Bryan provided the other boy be named Taft. Then the Italian Republicans i prepared to celebrate the christen- I lng of Taft, with only incidental at tention to the other twin. Mrs. Palaueno, however, sent to a Democratic leader at Coney Island, i who agreed to adopt Bryan as the j Democratic twin, and also gave his hat, which he had brought from the Democratic Convention, to be used as a cradle while the political babies ; were being photographed. Bryan weighs three ounces less than Taft, but both have an even chance tn the incubators. Heat prostrates the nerves. In the summer one needs a tonic to off set the customary hot weather nerve and strength depression. You will feel better within 48 hours after be- I ginning to take such a remedy as Dr. 1 Shoop's Restorative, its prompt ac tion in restoring the weakened nerves I? surprising. Of course, you won't get entirely strong in a few days, but each day you can actually feel the improvement. That tired, lifeless, spiritless, feeling will quick ly depart when using the Restora tive. Dr. Shoop's Restorative will sharpen a falling appetite; it aids digestion; it will strengthen the j weakened kidneys and heart hy sim- j ply rebuilding the worn-out nerves that these organs depend upon.

At this writing the estimates place : the value of the farm crops of 1908 at 8,0U0 millions of dollars. This is an enormous sum ol' money, equal to two-thirds of the value of the whole railroad system of the country. A j large part of these crops will be eon Bumed in America. A large part will be exported. The foreign demand for both grain and cotton promises to be ' unusually heavy. This estimate ls of the first of | June, up to which time, though the spring had been somewhat late, the growing conditions had been extreme- ; ly favorable, lt covers not one sec tion or one State, but the entire coun_ try, and is based upon a law of aver ages. Taking the country at large, the average condition of the crops was never better on the first of June. This prophecy has done much to spread throughout the whole coun try a feeling of good cheer and con fidence, and already the effect ls seen on the course of commerce. Once more the farmer has saved the coun try from financial disaster. But the farmer did not begin his work in June or May or April. When Wall Street was stricken with the panie the farmer went undisturbed about his own affairs, preparing for the future crops, purchasing his sup plies, getting his machinery in order, preparing his ground and putting back Into these preparations a large part of the revenues of the preceding year. The farmer risks everything-cap ital and labor and land-on his faith In the early and latter rain; on his confidence in the law that whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Sometimes the seasons are unfavora ble. Sometimes he is afflicted by drouth and overwhelmed by flood; but, taking it year after year, he has come to understand that there are certain laws of production which, If he masters fully and follows care fully, will bring him great reward.
