There was little target practice at
Winlock last week. 1t is said that o
man by the name of William Gibson
went into one of the stores where w.
L. Lewis was and offered him bottle
with request to drink. Lewis re-
fused, saying that he never INDUCED.
At that Gibson showed the bottle into
Lewis's face and was showed back
with some force. Gibson drew re-
volver and began firing and a scuffle
ensued in which four shots were fired,
but he was such poor shot that none
took effect.-Lewis County Bee.

THE destruction OF the Port Blakely
Mill by fire, to which brief reference
was made in our last issue, proved to
be well founded. The ruin is total.
The fire started at 8 As A. NJ, in the
Sd instant, and by IL 80 the whole
structure was in ashes. There was no
insurance on the mills, and the loss is
$25O,OOO. No one was injured, but
23O men are thrown out of employ
ment. The mills had a capacity of
100000 feet of lumber daily. The fire
spread so rapidly that it was with con-
siderable difficulty the employees
succeeded in saving their own houses
and some of the company's offices.
The mill will be rebuilt on a larger
scale and with better appliances for
economizing time and labor than ex-
listed before the disaster. 1t is said
that while the ruins were yet burning,
orders were telegraphed here for the
heavy timbers to be used in the fOun-
dation for the new mill.

Endurance of African Natives.

On occasions when we mlsjudged distances
and were obliged to pass about twenty hours,
mostly of great exertion, without food, our
anxiety about our companions was met by
the polite assurance that "they had eaten. "
They even contrived to turn the sympathy
the other way by saying, 1--WE are used to
hunger, but the white man will faint"
The white man might endure hunger
nearly as long, but the native has this ad-
vantage: when food comes be has an enor,
nous capacity for quantity; he is dreadful
eater. while the white man can scarcely taste
morsel
The natives can also endure the burning
thirst of this land On long days march
they pass all the streams in the morning
without drinking; it is not till 8 or O'Clock
in the afternoon that they become thirsty
But the white man may drink by the end Of
the first hour, and then he becomes "de
moralizedn for the day.
As the hot march continues, his thirst in
creases, but he cannot quench it. He arrive
at clear ripping brook, hastily puts Ston'
under his knees-a drinking jug is mockery
now, he must get at tho stream itself-still hl
is never quite satisfied. He Graves the drink
| ing for its own sake. After imbibing grea
| quantity, he is grieved that he cannot go oil
drinking more, and no sooner has he left on
stream than he begins Ia long for another.
The unpleasant craving continues till tn
sun begins to sink in the west. He may avoit
the torture by abstaining at first; but il
order to exercise this self denial, it is almos
imperative to shut the eyes while passing

way, but they are chiefly boys-Youth'

Mind Beading and Slate Writing

DR.. II. c. Word, of Atlanta, Ga, dis.
cusses this subject He adduces cases to
show that, to all intents and purposes, the
brain is dual organ; that, though the two
brains ordinarily act as unit, they may act
separately And then DR.. Word advances
as theory that, under certain peculiar cir
cumstances, one side of the brain may con-
verse with the other side. In fact he thinks
it possible, in some exceptional cases, for one
side of the brain to be electro-pcsitive and
the other side electro-negative. Under these
circumstances the link which ties the two
brains together is in some mysterious
way severed, or for the time being
deprived of its co-ordinating influence In
this condition the electro-positive side may
ask questions which may be automatically
answered by the electromagnetic side Under
these circumstances any incident or memory
latent in the brain is liable to be revived, and
to be automatically and unconsciously re
produced by the medium; and when thus
presented it comes with all the force and
conviction of communication from third
or an outside party. Thus the ''slate writer
gets messages from his or her own brain; o.
