Wood saturated with pitch and sulphur was set on fire and burned under tiie walls of these cities In order to generate choking and poisonous fumes, which would stupefy the defenders and make the task of attacking forces less difficult. Another form of the same method of attack used about this date was to fill a caldron with molten pitch, sulphur and burning charcoal, and to blow the fumes with the aid of a primitive form of bellows and over the defenders lines. Greek-flrabout which much was beard in the wars of the middle ajres, was a liquid, the composition of which Is now unknown, that was spurted through the air, chiefly in sea fights.

Beyond the fact that it was of a vegetable nature, nobody knew what It was. As a matter of fact, it came from Transcaucasia, where its production was a very Important industry. For centuries it had been widely used in Asiatic countries, and the source of the material was a secret carefully kept. Eventually the secret was revealed by an Armenian merchant, who, traveling through Transcaucasia, discovered that the Insect powder was simflower-head- s of a ply the ground-uto our own field related plant nearly daisy.

CONVICT ROAD CAMP o Prisoners Worked Without Armet Guards and Without Special Inducements of Reward. Without a single attempt to escape, an average of 40 negro convicts were maintained for ten months in the Fulton county (Ga.) honor camp conducted under the observation of tbe United States office of public roads and rural engineering ami the United Slates public health service. This notwithstanding the facts that the convicts were worked without armed gaurds, without exceptional conditions as to hours of labor, without special rewards or other unusual Inducements to good behavior and with the camp located near a trolley line and within 11 miles of, the city of Atlanta, from which most of the convicts were sentenced, a condition admitted by all competent authorities to be most unfavorable to the successful operation of an honor camp. The methods of discipline contrasted sharply with those practiced in the other camps of the county, state and section. So far as can be learned, similar methods never have been applied to any convict camp in the South, and for tills reason the success of the system is one of the most striking and Important results of the experiment, which appears to demonstrate conclusively that there is little foundation for the belief that negro convicts are amenable only to the discipline of locks, schackles and lash. In this camp no guard was armed and no convict was shackled ; the only building locked night or day was the commissary. Plain gray clothing was substituted for convict stripes and the use of the whip was prohibited. In place of negative measures, order, security and obedience were obtained by the positive measures ef attractive food, light, airy quarters, clean and comfortable beds, reasonable, kind treatment and greater privileges.

Instead of putting the men on the chain immediately after the evening meal, In this camp they were permitted to remain outside the building, rending, smoking, playing quoits or baseball until dark, or In the messroom to enjoy a phonograph which waft provided for them. Saturday afternoons. during the summer, were holidays, and the time was devoted to baseball and other games. Minor infractions of the rules, disobedience and unsatisfactory work were punished by demeriting the offender. When the number of such demerits exceeded the established limit the convict was returned to the county headquarters camp to be placed again under the more rigid discipline of one of the other camps. Attempted escape would have been punished in a similar manner, hut It was unnecessary to administer any punishment for this cause during the ten months tne camp was under observation. The full measure of the success of the system of discipline is realized when it Is understood that no attempt was made to hold the men by rewards of money or allowances of good time greater than those granted to other county convicts. The only measure of this kind was the granting of the customary ration of tobacco. This was used at the rate of about pound per convict per week. The morale of the force was excellent. With few exceptions the men were content with the treatment they received, and frpely expressed' their appreciation of it, not only in words, but in a willingness to work and a prompt response to orders, such ns Is observed seldom in convict camps. free one-quart- Carters Iron Pills Will restore color to the Cues of those who lack Iron in the blood, d as most people da pale-face- EJ jg ;g JB .m a 2. rz Guticura Soap is Easy Shaving for SensitiveCetlcwi Skins Tkn New Method Childrens Coughs checked and more tenons conditions tuny voided by of the throat wui be often promptly gmeg the child a dose of afo NETWORK OF ROADS NEEDED Connection Between Centers of Population Embracing Farming Districts Is Favored.

Do You Think There is No Competition? If anyone thinks there is no competition amongst the big packers he ought to go through a day's work with Swift & Company. Let him begin at the pens when the live stock comes in; let him try to buy a nice bunch of fat steers quietly and at his own price without some bodys bidding against him. Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at the plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order that costs may be held to a minimum. Let him go up into the office where market reports are coming in, and reports of what other concerns are doing. Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrig erator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the country like a fleet of battleships at sea. Let him take a trip with a Swift & Company salesman and try to sell a few orders of meat. Let him stay at a branch house for an hour or two and see the retail meat dealers drive their bargains to the last penny as they shop around among the packers branch houses, the wholesale dealers, and the local packing plants. And then, when the day is over, let him have half an hour in the accounting department, where he can see for himself on what small profits the business is done. (Less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales.) If he still thinks there is no competition in the meat business it will be because he wants to think so. Swift & Company, U. S. A. . . |
