PROHIBITION.

The South will have no more of it
or more of it. First and foremost, it
washes its hands clean and clear at
the fountain OF absolute Prohibition
and thus removes the stimulus of
politics at one fell sweep. Next it goes

THE SADDLE.

So much riding is done on horseback
that a description of the saddle used
may be of interest. Fortunately as
write one Of these hangs before me in
the room and is we'll worth looking
at. The workmanship like all serious
attempts in leather is very Rne, the
model is Mexican, and while we may
admire the model, we can afford to ig-
more the workman who may be at work
on similar saddles in great little Jones'
street New York. The stirrups are
bent Of one piece of wood clear around
to enclose the foot and fastened to a
strap by two strong rivets (they had
better be strongl. All the art or much
Of it is concentrated upon the wide
and flowing leg shields, or flaps. On
the piece were embossed figures of
flowers, animals of the chase, filigree
work, and in the different styles taken
advantages of, is no small advantage in
selling the article. Then the wide

THE NEW AMERICAS.
Farther yet to the South than has
yet been conceived, are the peoples of
the great South American, indepen
denotes. The Amazon rising in puny
might among the Cordilleras creeps
timidly along until it bursts forth into
the mighty river whose mouth vawns
full hundred miles wide and sending
its yellow water fifty miles out into
the deeps of the Atlantic, allays the
mariners thirst with taste of Andean
snow under the burning equatorial
sun.
Yet farther South, beyond the great
valley of the Amazon and on the table
lands of Bolivia, Paraguay, Chill and
Peru, hemmed in by the Empire state
of the far SOuth-Brazl-dwell a peo-
pie who want the manufactured Dro-
ducts of the South. The cool, cotton
fabric, the CHEEKY native wood furni-
ture, the structural iron and composite
steel, fashioned into cunning shapes
for simple want.
Rising up superior to the place for
office is the great opportunity for this
Southern people to seize upon whom
God in the past has pleased to visit
with all of His storms"
NEW ROUTE OF COMMUNICATION.
Augusta is rejoicing in the prospect
of having direct connection with the
Atlantic Coast Line in the course of n
year or eighteen months. 1t will he
the very fastest and best equipped
route to the East even from Atlanta
and Macon, and it will bring in this
direction many tourists from the
North. The Coast Line which, by
the way is the great feeder to your
newly built New York, Philadelphia
& Norfolk Road, has for years contem-
plated this move, / am told, and is now
gradually taking the preliminary steps
to avoid the long journey to the North
via Washington d. c., to shorter one by
the Delaware Peninsula. The cut off
(fOr this term seems to be the magic
word in the nowadays railrOading) be-
tween Wilson on the Wilmington and
Weldon r. r., has been completed to
Fayetteville and is pushing to Flor
ence on the Wilmington, Columbia &
Augusta and other Northeastern Rail-
roads as expected, this cut off shOrtens
the distance upwards of about sixty
miles.
A large part of the missing link be-
tween Sumter and Augusta is graded.
The coast lines as it happens avoids
curves and steep grades. No other
line in the South, and for all that in
the North too, has SO many miles OF
straight track. The traveller about
the unvaring vista of Pines is thus as.
sured of absolute comfort as we'll as
usual speed. Someday the great coast
line will be the feeder, too, of great
steamships rocking at the piers of time

Drought in Cuba.

HAVANA, May S.-Drought con-
tinues throughout Cuba. Lately
strong winds have been blowing and
many fires continue to be reported,
not only in the cane fields but also
on the cattle breeding pastures and
farms, and even in the woods. The
mortality among cattle is daily in
creasing. 1t may be said that there
is not single plantation in the island
that has not suffered more or less
from fire. In many localities the
ponds and brooks have completely
dried up, and the water in the rivers
has fallen considerably.

,S1D.OOO.OOO Canard.

NEW YORK, May S.-A dispatch
from Buenos Ayres reported yester-
day that the Argentine republic had
been robbed OF sums aggregating
$lO,OOO,O 900 by dishonest officials in
the customs service. Reporters
called upon AdOlgo G.. Cairo,
consul of the Argen tine Republic
in this city, and when that
official was shown the dispatch he
pronounced it preposterous.
"By no possibility" said Consul
Calvo, could any such enormous
ROBBERY be made by customs off cials.
The total amount OF the. annual
revenues of the republic from
all the sources, amount to
Sl5S, 000, 900, of which two-fifths are
derived from customs duties, such de-
faIcation would therefore be equiva-
lent to stealing nearly One-half Of the
annual customs revenues, which
would be an utter impossibility.
The officials charged with collec-
ton of the custom duties
are required to account daily
for the money received and
the failure to deposit the same would
be followed by swift exposure MIR.
Calvo further said in his opinion, the
report was another effort on the part
of those who have heretofore sought
to injure the financial standing OF
the republic.

has Alderman Wulf7s habit of max
ing a private memorandum of all fl

not unjust to Alderman Rogers to

A surprising incident OF the prohibition
convention at Harrisburg. Pa, on Thurs
day was the exhibition OF letter which
Senator Quay had written to the Rev. W. A.
Covert short time after the prohibition
amendment election last June. Mr.. Covert
said the letter was proof that the Republic
can party was making capital out OF tho
amendment clause TO the constitution,
and warned ali prohibitionists to bs
ware OF the tricks OF the Repub
lican machinery. The reverend gen
tleman said he had written I.
Senator Quay lest June representing him
self to bs liqUrr dealer In Westmoreland
county, and Iaduired OF the senator
whether the statsment was correct that the
prohibltory awNndment clanse was sub.
mitted TO the people to bsneht the liquor
interest. The senator's reply was read In
the convention and is as follows:
81 will be glad indeed to hav0 you help
the Republican ticket. whether You are Ia
our line Of politics or not. The submission
was not made to bene1t or injure the
liquor interest but simply to permit the
people of Pennsylvania to pass upon
prohibition. which n very large number
Of them desired to have Incorporated in
the constitution. As 1t resulted, I
