and making a stand-of with Ander-

the close of the sale about $4,000 had
passed into the pool-box. Headlight

The races of the past week are pro-

contested races, which have ever
been held on the West Side. Several
of the events of the meet will be re-

many years to come. Among them

which Billy Spanker, Ben Anderson,

Of the Fourth, considering

The starters were Lady Pruitt, Head

remarkable feature of tho meet is the

wAsNYNGTONss LAST ILLNESS.

The following account of Gen. Wash
ington's illness and death, concerning
the manner of which so much has been
recently said and written, possesses a
peculiar virtue. 1t is taken from an old
book, "Ewell's Medical Companion,' -
published in 1907. and dedicated BY
the author. James Ewell, to Mr.. JEFF

Ga the afternoon Of the 18th of De-

farms, he was caught in a driving rain,
which. soon turning into snow storm,
snow betwixt his cravat and neck. Long
accustomed 20 brave the inclemencies of
the weather, he paid ne regard to this
circumstance: but, having brushed of
the snow on his return, he supped and
went to bed as usual. Some time before
day he was awakened with the sore throat
and difficult breathing which constitute
quinsy. A faithful domestic, who al
ways carried a lancet, was called up
and bled him, but without afordin0
any relief.
About daybreak my near relative and

QUEER FACTS ABOUT LUMBER
SHIPMENTS.

Shipping GOALS to Newcastle" says
an exchange, is an old phrase illustrating
the phenomena of trade movements;
yet the originatlon Of this expression is
scarcely more curious phase Of this
phenomena than many which have be
come SO common as to lose notoriety.
As an illustration of this, shipments Of
yellow pine from the Southern States to
Norway and SwedeR, the center of the
European pine lumber supply, create ne
comments. Sweden alone annually ex-
ports 1,5O0, 100000 feet of timber and
lumber; an amount equal to one-half of
the entire cut of the Southern States;
and during the first three months of the
present year Norway sent to Great Brit
ain and Ireland zoe, OO0, 900 feet of timber
and lumber.
Among the latest shipments of this
character noticed was one of million
feet sent to Maine for shipbuilding pur-
poses. That the shiphuilders of Maine
should send to Oregon and Florida for
masts proves nothing more than that
the character of timber for this purpose
Is exhausted in Maine, or ia 90 difficult
to secure they find it cheaper to trans.
port it thousands of miles by water from
distant forests to their yards; but when
these same shipbuilders send to Georgia
and Florida for yellow pine lumber TO
construct their ships, It must be taken
a. conclusive that the lumber of Maine
is inferior TO the yellow pine for ship-
building, from the fact that il has been
given out that the cut in Maine IL now
larger than IL hos been for some time
past; at1east there is sufficient quantity
for the needs Of the shipyards.
These instances are cited 70 show that
the yellow pine 10 becoming to be recoc-
nized asa wood which possesses peculiar
and valuable properties found in no other
pine, and that for shipbuilding purposes
u IL without q superior. The cypress IL
In many respects it, equal. and. when
the two woods are-combined, they form
. weasel which will defy worms and wa
tor fer years.
As this il an era when the attention
OF the whole country is turned toward
the question of using every effort in
restoring the shipping Of the United
States TO Its former supremacy, il would
be well to see If one or two great ship
building yards cannot be established in
waters convenient to the forests and
brakes Of yellow pine and cypress. The
tendency Of the day is industrial pre-
eminence, aud while we are at il there
IS no reason why the South, with its vast
fields OF iron aud coal and extensive
forests, should not step in and build
ships of iron, steel and wood as well
as cotton factories. which are now the
center OF attraction in industrial cir
Giles.
