SUPPORT YOUR HONE PAPER.

Why? Because it is your friend.
1t is not only your friend but it is
the friend of every one near and
dear to you. 1t is prompt to tell
you of good news, and sympathizea
with you in all sorrow. 1t has no
hate for any one, but love for all.
1t has no special privileges, but it
knocks at your door, week to week
and says, here | am. If the babe, but
six months old, is dead, and hearts
are heavy, here is the sad story of
baby's death, ana through a thous-
and miles the sad story travels to
loving ones abroad. 1t tells of the
old man, or old wife gone before,
and gives its best words to soothe
the stricken hearts left behind. If
two loving hearts consummate their
pledge, by marriage, the home paper
tells the story in the best and pleas
ATTEST way it can. If a young man
starts out in business, born here, or
elsewhere, the local newspaper pats
him on the back, and gives him
words of encouragement; and he
loves to hear those words. If the
church-that grand conservator,
wants some special aid where else
do its friends find a truer and
stronger help than the home paper
If, to close, there is any good cause
to be promoted, where else can be
found better helper than the home
paper in the town? Fellow citizens
stand by your home paper. 1t is
the comfort of old age and the
sinewey strength of youth. By
your fireside old and young, it is a
companion above all others in
things that appertain to this wicked
world. Others may fail, through
misfortune, or mischance, but the
local paper at your homes comes
with smiling face to greet you
week to week, and always brings
good cheer Milledgeville Ricord-

WINNIE DAVIS TO WED.

4 special to the Herald from
Syracuse, N. Y, says that the an
nouncement has been made there Of
the betrothal OF Miss Winnie Davis,
daughter of the late Jefferson Davis,
40 Alfred Wilkinson, of Syracuse,
N. Y, grand son of the great abo-
litionist leader, Rev. Samuel J. Law.
Mr.. Wilkerson is young lawyer, is
about twenty-eight years of age,
and stands very high in the COM
munity, He first met Miss Davis
on the occasion OF the visi. of thai
lady to Syracuse about four years
ago. Il viii be remembered that
Miss Davis received a very cool re-
ception from one or two families in
Syracuse, and this treatment is said
to have brought her and Mr.. Wiki
inson in very close relations. He
resented the GOODNESS shown her and
calamity championed her cause.
The friendship thus engendered be-
tween them blossomed into love- in
due time. Some two months ago
Mr.. Wilkinson went to Europe to see
Miss Davis, and spent several weeks
with her on the continent. The ac-
tual time for the wedding has not
been set, but it is understood that
the date will be in the near future.

GRAY HAIR.l

One great question which the men
OF the present day ask, which has
been propounded frequently, is how
can the hair be prevented from be-
coming white The case is general
ly urged that the inquirer is too
young to yet have gray hair and
wishes only to have hair in accor-
dance with his age and facial appear
ance. To quote from one letter
verbatim will give o clear view of
the disturbing matter:
''There are a great many men in
St. Louis who note with dismay an
abundant amount of hair and even
the mustsche or beard becoming
gray, when the face is yet youthful.
A natural desire, with nothing OF
vanity in it, would lead most of tae
men to dye or color the hair were it
not that they are afraid to use the
dyes generally known, because
usually they contain substances of a
poisonous nature.
Why aperson turning gray prema-
turely should desire to change the
hair seems an enigma. Silver hair
with young and fresh face is only
an added beauty, especially if the
eyes are dark. Novelists have
chosen their favorite heroines and
heroes with the prematurely gray
hair as the most pronounced and
distinguished in appearance. "Vash-
ii" in her first youth with silver
hair was supposed to WIN all hearts,
and to become very local and practi-
cal, some of the very best looking
men in st. Louis, as we'll as women
have their faces crowned by silver
hair.
There are three things which
cause gray hair; they are brains,
neuralgia, and old age-oh ! and a
fourth, too; fear or distress. One
of the brightest, sweetest faces in
this city is that of a gifted woman
whose wealth of hair turned white
in one single night. She was tc
have been married; the guests arriv.
ed, the beautiful girl, in her bridal
robes, awaited the coming of the
bridegroom hours passed by and
the bridegroom camea not. The
guests departed and the bride shut
herself in her room alone. In the
morning her dark hair had become
perfectly white. Such q strange,
strange sight; the beautiful girlish
face with its wealth of spotlsss hair.
She has never since that night men,
toned the subject. Whether she
has heard from her delinquent fance
cannot be ascertained, at least out
side her relatives, but she Is brave
and beautiful and took up her bur-
den fearlessly.
There is no way of intercepting
gray hair except from the absence,
as before said, of brains, neuralgia,
fear or old age. When it does come,
only an artificial means can change
it to the former hue. and dyes are
mostly dangerous.
Gray hair at least is not the sign
of decreasing energy, and the gray
haired beaux of society are usually
the most active and often the great
est favorites.
Another feature of gray hair is
that it is generally fine hair, and a
silver head of hair is generally an
abundant one.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, April l2.-Bur-
lington's flour hundred" are horribly
shocked over the predicament in which
a number Of their leading young ladies
found themselves after the close OF an
amateur entertainment at the Opera
House on Thursday night. The enter
tainment had been gotten up by Mr..
and Mrs. Howe, travelling managers,
who came here five weeks ago and be-
gan the rehearsal of a carnival militaire,
a pretty and beautifully costumed en-
tertainment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe furnished the
costumes, and the participants were all
prominent ladies of Christ Episcopal
Church Guild. Many of the young
ladies had donned their stage costumes
at home before going to the Opera
House. During the evening q sheriff
from neighboring city appeared with
an attachment on the entire parapher-
MALTA. When the curtain fell on the
last act the young ladies were horritled
when informed that they could not
take the costumes from the building.
A great hubbub ensued, but the sher-
iff was immovable, and the result was
the young ladies were compelled to go
home in neglige attire.

GREENvILLE, April 1.-THE State
Alliance Exchange of South Carolina,
of which State Senator NJ. L. Donald
son, Of this county, is manager, and
whose head office is located in this
city, is probably the most important
and far reaching undertaking that the
Farmers Alliance in this State has ever
fathered. While operating indepen-
IDENTIFY of and under separate organi-
zation from the Alliance, it is very
closely related to the Order and is re-
ally it's "business bureau" The Ex-
change has now been in operation for
three months and its success has been
such as to firmly establish it in the
confidence of the Order throughout the
State. In the three months $50, 0,0OO Of
business Las been done, and the volume
is constantly Increasing.
The Exchange is regularly char
tered corporation with an elaborate
machinery. permeating every county,
township and neighborhood in the
State. The plan of the Exchange was
first submitted to the 1000 or more
Sub-Alliances in the State for ratifica-
ton. Each Alliance ratifying the plan
was entitled to subscribe to not less
than one share for the first thirty-five
members, two shares for the first sixty
FIVE, and so on, accorning to regular
schedule.
Each Sub-Alliance elected a trustee
stockholder, and the sub-trustee stock
holders in each county selected from
their number a county trustee stock
holder. The county trustee stockholG-
ers in turn elected nine directors, one
from each Congressional district and
two at large. The directors elected
Col. J. c. Colt, Of Chesterfield, presi-
dent; J. w. Ferguson, of Darlington,
secretary and treasurer, and the Hon.
N. L. Donaldson, Of this city, man
ager.
The State Exchange has paid in
capital of about $4,000. This sum is
held to form q commercial banking and
is not available for running expenses.
The current expenses, including the
salaries of its officers, are betrayed by
the brokerage and discounts allowed by
dealers and manufacturers on business
transacted through the Exchange.
The maximum amount of brokerage
which the manager is allowed to COL
lect is fixed by schedule prepared by
committee Of the directors appointed
for the purpose, the idea being to secure
from this source simply enough to pay

SIX-MILE FISHLISES.
How Surgeons Are Caught Out in Winnie
bago Lake.
New York SUM-

They fish with fishlines six miles
long in Winnebago Lake, Wisconsin,
and use 10000 hooks an every line.
If they don't haul up 1000 fish every
time they lift a line they don't think
they are having very good luck. And
every fish will weigh from twenty to
seventy pounds. That's the way they
fish for sturgeon out there. One of
these fishlines will reach half way
across the lake. It is rope an inch IN
diameter. It is stretched out into the
lake by means of boats, large buoys
being attached to it at intervals to keep
it on the surface. The 10000 hooks,
baited with pieces of meat or fish, are
lowered to the bottom of the lake by
snoods of the proper length which are
fastened to the main line. 1t takes
twenty boats, with two men in each,
to look after this big hshline. Each
boat has 1000 Of the snoods In its
charge. These are tied to the main
line IS inches apart, and to bait all the
hooks once requires not less than 1000
pounds of bait. It takes the forty
men and twenty boats ten hours to set
the line for the first time. After that the
fishermen are employed in going over
the line, hauling in the sturgeon
that have been caught on the hooks,
and rebaiting where it is necessary.
TO haul in seventy-pound sturgeon
from the bottom of the lake is an eX-
citing piece of work but it requires
more strength than skill, as the fish
always has the hook several inches
down his throat, having sucked bait
and all down without any regard to
consequences. There is no danger Of
losing the fish unless the hook breaks.
When the fish is hauled to the surface
agaf as big as meat hook is thrust into
the boat and knocked in the head with
a heavy maui. The hook that captured
it is cut out of its throat, rebaited, and
thrown back into the lake. The aver
age catch Of sturgeon is onet every
ten hooks. When a boat is loaded
with all it can carry of sturgeon the
fishermen row back to shore, where
others take the fish and dispose OF
them. The fishermen know the par
ticular sections of the line on which
they work by the arrangement Of the
buoys. These are placed ten feet
apart, and one in $50 of them is painted
red. The space between the red buoys
contains 1000 hooks. The sections are
numbered and the boats are numbered.
The boats work the sections as their
numbers correspond with the section
numbers. While the average catch is
one sturgeon to ten hooks, tits no un-
common thing for the fishermen to
find but one or two on an entire Sec
ton Of 1000 hooks. The very next
section may contain the full average
Of 100 and perhaps more.
The Lake Winnebago sturgeon is
highly priced among the lumbermeR
and others in the region. It's flesh is
finer and OF better flavor than the river
or salt water sturgeon OF the East. The
fish sells at cents per pound retail
Large quantities are salted and smoked
for use in the lumber camps.

Bismarck's Fortune.

From the Courier des Etats UniS.
Bismarck refused the title of Duke
on the ground that MS income was not
sufficient to enable him to support the
burdens which the thing would bring
upon him; but IN reality he refused
because he could not very well accept
an honor which might look like COM
pensation for his removal. We have
the most trustworthy information to
prove that the fortune of Bismarck at
the present moment may be estimated
at more than $l00,0O0 income. He is
one of the largest landed proprietors of
Prussia. He owns brewery, paper
factory, a saw mill and distilleries. He
was always proud to say that every
thing that was consumed in his house
was the product Of his own property.
The donations given to him on several
occasions formed the greater portion
of his fortune. His property at Narzin
was purchased by him in 1866, after
the war with Austria, with the $500 900
which were then presented to him.
After the war Of ISL Emperor William
took out of the indemnity milliards
$500, 900 for NJ. de Bismarck, and this
sum served to purchase the great do
main of FREDERICKSBURG. This latter
castle is remarkable for its simplicity.
There are some portions of it that are
simply whtewasned, and without any
ornamentation whatever. Up to 1915
Bismarck was obliged to live rather
modestly, and, as he himself admits,
he did not resist the temptation Of
gambling, in the hone that chance
would favor him. The inheritance of
his father bettcred his pecuniary situa-
ton and brought him the property Of
Tchoenhausen, and it was shortly after
that when he married Johanna Won
Puttkamer.
For some time Bismarck's charity
was eagerly solicited, but the old
Chancellor was always economical, and
he rarely responded to appeals for aid.
A few years ago he caused to be in
serted in the papers Il singular adver-
tisement declaring that it was useless
to ask him for assistance.
