John H. BilEOf, of (H*n View,
once made it very interesting exp?
rliuont. Ho had long boon curious
to know liow many tulles lio actually
walked during <i round of golf. Ho
iit? purchased a podoineter, st raped
it on and sot forth to play the full
18 hole* at Ulon View, write* Obar
Jo * ("t'hick") fivanp. When the
round wuh onded ho discovered <o
his KurprlMV that ho had walked
about 10 Y-2 mile*. Tho .^average
man would h?sltate a long time b'e~
inn' out lo walk from < 111
cago to Kvanston "? hit of exer
I'lini), yet during the season many
golfer* play 18 holes daily without
special fatigue Many of these gol
fers would not walk ho far aw Mr
Hums and many would walk ihucIl
farther, because a great deal de
pends upon the relative skill and
good luck of tho player#.
Ho who strays from the straight
line of course, must walk far to
reach a given point. Tho length
of an average I 8-hole course Ih usu
ally about four miles, but few golf
ers can play their balls as straight
as the measurement in taken. It
may bo some consolation to a golfer
In the midst of misfortune to rea
lize that he is getting more whole
some exercise from his game than
the expert who rivals the crow's
flight.
Mr. Burns' little experiment loads
up to the interesting subject of the
amount, of exorcise a golfer really
takes, and glvea a certain standard
fpr comparison with other athletics.
The. golfor does not exercise so
violently as the player of other
games, but lie plays much longer,
and it is not. alone that he enjoys
the breath of tho open for a certain
Dumber of hours, but lie does not,
as the sportsman In other games,
Remain oil one spot; he progresses.
He is happily trying to control a
little ball's flight for miles and
miles, and that serves a steady
progression with a definite aim to
a given point. He can enjoy cham
pionship of solitude .equally on oc
casion, for most golfers " will prob
ably agree that there is a groat i
pleasure in the occasional loneliness
of the links, with a favorite club
for a companion, a* friendly sky
overhead and the yielding grass
under foot. There is a sense of
space, of widening fields and far
horizons.
As for the exercise Itself there
Is no other game that so greatly
and effectively employs one's entire
muscular system. Tho legs, the
arms, the eyes, the trunk, the mus
cles of the back are all fully used.
Therefore doctors recommend It and
overworked men of large affairs
seek It instinctively; for a long
walk without an object, is weari
some, but one comes back from a
three, four, eight or ten miles'
?tramp across the links invigorated
in body and rest ted in mind.
Golf is truly what 1 once heard
a clever woman call it--"Not a
game, but a 'life-saver for tired
men."

like that!
Thla /earaome creHtur^^o Con
ductor W. B. Damon, of the Atlan

! a reporter of and for The 8avan
{ nah Morning Newa in that elty a
j f?w days ago came out of th? Ran
toe awarnp a few daya prevlouB, and
waa surrounded and ruptured and
j taken to Danes, where ho, or "It,"
was the aynowure of all the won
dering eyea ttyat could ho brought
I Into focus. The reporter wrote ?that
Conductor Damon aald thlnga
enough about the ferocious ; wild
man <to fill a acrap book, and then
norne. Th^i face of the veiled prop
het or Koraaaan would have been
like that of Kyrle llellew alongalde,
and the face of Caliban as that of
a cherub by compariaon. Why, the
wild man of Danes waa made out
to bo a regular boo-daddy, that
would not only frighten children,
but make cold, chllla run down the
haaka of grown-upB. The wild man,
according to The Morning News
Btory, had been locked in a amall
liouae at Lanes, whore he was be
ing held; doubtlesa while the cap
tora wore getting a tent and hav
ing admlKalou ttoke-ta printed. Hut
Berlously thus.
Capt. "Pat" Murphy, who dally
BklpperB a passenger train between
this city and Danes, waa asked last
night about the wild man. Had he
heard of the Danes guyascutus?
No, Capt. Murphy aald, he had not.
Hut ho had heard of an unshaven
and unshorn half-witted negro who
had frequented the stamps being
taken up and sent -to the chaingang
for vagrancy. The negro uBed to bo
a section hand on the C. & L. road,
but was so meaBly mean and lazy
that the Ijobb had to chase him.
The negro disappeared when the
boss fired him. Mighty soon there
after the neighborhood chickens be
f-an also to disappear. Hest infor
mation was .tlo the effect chat the
chickens were going into the swamp
Involuntarily, with the ex-sectlon
hand. When he was caught the oth
or dny they couldn't "prove the
chickens on" him;, but they could
and did make a vagrancy charge
stick.
Doubtless by this time a. hose, a
j pair of horse clippers and a suit of
chaingang clothes have spoiled the
! wild man before a single excursion
j train could be chartered.

RESOURCES OF SOUTHEAST
GIVEN WIDE PUBLICITY
exhibits at Fairs, Advertisements in
Newspapers, and Circulation of
Attractive Literature All
Boost the Southern
Territory.
The Southern Railway has long de- I
/oted much attention to fair and ox- j
position exhibits, showing the re- |
sources and products of the South- ?
eastern States. This year's exhibit ?
work is almost entirely within its own
territory. At state and other large
fairs and exposition Its is making
comprehensive exhibits, largely agri
cultural, which are mostly of an edu
cational character, and whick show
what the people of the Southeast and
Of special communities may do. A
large exhibit will be made in Novem
ber at New York City.
In the line of publicity for calling
attention to the opportunities of the
Southeast, liberal amounts are appro
priated. The Southern Field, giving
Information about all the System's
territory, is widely and regularly cir
culated. Booklets descriptive of the
different slates, publications relating
to the various lines of farming, pam
phlets giving general or special in
formation or lists of lands or business
opportunities are published for the
benefit of homeseekers and manufac
turers.
In advertising opportunities In the
Southeast agricultural, trade and gen
eral .publications In the North are
used and special advertising is done
In Europe.
SOUTHERN RY.'S EXHIBITS
Interesting Display of Southern Farm
Products at Land and Irrigation
? Congress.
. New York. ? At th^ American Land
and Irrigation exposition, which re
cently opened at Madison Square Gar
den, there are displays of farm and
orchard products from every portion
of the United States and. from Can
ada, but none excels the exhibit from
the Southern states made - by the
Southern Hallway system, which has :
expended several thousand dollars in I
collecting material for exhibit purpos- j
es from all parts of the territory serv- t
ed by Its Hues. ' '
The Southern railway s booth is six- I
ty foot long and the arrangements of
the exhibit 1s most tasteful and at
tractice. There are exhibits of cot
ton, tobacco, the grains, grasses and
forage, crops, sugar cane, and all
kinds of garden truck and an unusual
ly fine fruit display. The walls are
covered by a large map of the South,
sheaves of grain and grasses, a score
of large colored photographs of typi
cal Southern farm, field and orchard
views. There are a half dozen ta
bles of the Southern applep, which
will convince all who seo them that
the Southern apple-growing districts
are surpassed by none. Special liter- ,
ature has been prepared for circular
tion at the exposition telling of the -
Southeastern states and especially of
their farmlands and products.
Each day an Illustrated lecture on
the Southeast Is delivered by M. A.
Hays of the I^and and Industrial De-r
partment of the Southorn Railway,
-b'or this lecture 150 new cdlored slides
have been made. The lecture covers
the industries, the agricultural re*
sources and developments, the scenic
attractions, the resort centers of the
Southeastern states, gives character
istics of Southern life and tells about
the wide variety opportunities
found tn this . .J'.
CONDITIONS ENCOURAGING
Management of Southern Hallway I?
Making It Helpful Factor In
. Southern Development ,
Washington.-? A most encouraging
view of conditioaa iu the Southeast
in presented in the annual report of
the Southern Uaiiway company, which
states that one of the most import
ant factors in the strength of the com
pany's position is the Industrial and
agricultural development of the ter
ritory traversed by its lines* The
marked agricultural progress due to
the general adoption of approved
methods by the farmers of the South
east, particularly the increase of di
versified farming, and the diversifies1
tion of industries are noted.
The management of the company,
with a broad conception of its rela
tions to the public* is making the rail
way not merely a carrier of the peo
ple and products of the South, but
also a helpful factor in Southern de
velopment. The report sets out the
efforts being put forward to increase
the prosperity of the people already
in the Southeast, and, to attract in
vestors and desirable settlers to the
territory served by the lines of the
Southern railway. A review is given
of the work being done by the cotton
culture department, which is teach
ing farmers, in localities where It Is
possible the boll weevil may spread,
to successfully combat the insect
should It ever appear In their fields,
and thus maintain their production
instead of having to lfe&rn how to
deal with It after it appears, ^he
work of this department will be ex
tended to cover all territory along
the company's lines to which there
is even a remote danger that the
weevil may spread. The importance
to the South of maintaining Its mon
opoly of cotton production is pointed
out in connection with the vigorous
efforts being made to raise cotton
In other parts of the world. The re
port shows that the company is also
encouraging live stock ralstng and
dairying in Its territory. Recognition
is given the newspapers of the South
east for their valuable assistance and
also to commercial organizations, to
banks and individuals who have aid
ed the company In all its efforts to
advance the agricultural prosperity of
the Southeast. '
The more Important additions and
betterments completed and undertak
en during the year are shown, among
them the double track lines through
Lynchburg, Va., and Into Chattanooga,
Tenn., 38 miles of double track be
tween Atlanta and Gainesville,
modern lap-sldlngs on the line be
tween Atlanta and Macon, Ga., Knox
vine and Chattanooga, Tenn., and,
Morristown, Tenn., and Asheville, N.
C., new freight station and office
building at Atlanta, additional freight
station and yard facilities at Macon,
and additional wharf facilities at Mo

K
Motors In Arabia. --
Aden, Arabia, is five miles from
Steamer Point, the shipping junction
of that region. Heretofore camel
carte have conveyed merchandise for
export and import. But camels are
slow and the carts are unwieldy. The
camels could, at their best, make only
two round trips a day between the
town and the wharf. The road is
steep and full of gravel and flint. But
this did not deter business men from
employing automobiles as substitutes
for camels, says an exchange. One
skin exporter paid $4,000 for a three
and one-half ton, twenty-two horse'
power French truck, which he ttseil
in lieu of the camel carts. It carries
fifteen bales of skins and makes six
round trips dally. The Aden-*Steamer
Point, automobile service will Bhortly
test a steam car that has been rebuilt
into a gasoline car. The Intention is
to revive the passenger service. It
cost $1,360 to convert the car, which
originally cost $2,916. A chauffeur
has been obtained from England to
make the tests. The owners declare
that if the oar is a success thoy will
have five othew placed in service.
Torpedoes Guided by Alroraft.
A patent has been issued to Brad
ley A. Fiske, United States navy, for a
device that guides submarine torpe
