Loosest Prison Wall in the World, j The concrete wall at the Fed-, eral prison in Atlanta, on which work was begun in 1903, was i completed last month. It is said to be the longest prison wall iti the world and is the largest piece of concrete construction that has ever been built, with the excep- i tion of the concrete bridge work over which a railroad has been 1 strung across the Florida keys. This wall is 4,300 feet long, or ' about four-fifths of a mile. It is i 30 feet high and is 4 feet thick at the bottom and 2 at the top. \ It incloses about 28 acres of land. The principal object of the wall j is to prevent prisoners from escaping. It also allows the men! to be exercised in the open air, doing away with the necessity , of putting them through their; exercises indoors. Wild Geese Traveling Southward. Local weather prophets have seen the signs in the heavens and are certain that a killing frost accompanied by muoh cooler weather than has yet been felt in South Carolina this fall will come within ten days. A sure sign of cold weather, these prophets say, is the flight of wild geese southward, and as the first! flock of the season was observed Sunday afternoon headed for a milder clime, if the sign is worth anything there will be a considerable drop in the temperature soon. The flock of geese was flying directly southward and was so high that the individuals were almost indiscernible, but their honk, honk unmistakably disclosed their presence. No More Bur'al Dues. "Martha, what does that negro man standing at the back door want?" asked a Fort Mill lady of her colored cook. "He's cum ter collect mv hnr'al dues, which I pays twict er munf." "I am surprised at the little sense you show in giving that negro your money. None of the money you are paying him will help bury you. Did you ever hear of burial being denied anyone in this country?" Returning to the collector, Martha said: "Look here, nigger, what 'suranceyou gwine gim me dat de bur'al associashun will 'tend ter puttin' me erway when I dies? Ise been thinkin' 'bout how easy it would be fur you to steal my money and put it in your little ole store er run away wid it and der balance uf de niggers would have ter take up er eollecshun 'mong de white folks ter bury me. Get out er here, you low down black thief. Ise rough dis mornin' and I'll fix you fur bury in' if you don't git scarce at onct." The Colored State Fair.
