"How many States and Territories in
the United States ?''
To this question, which we asked two
weeks ago, ne have received three an.
swers: The first from Master W. D.
Spearman, the second from J. Bachman
Shirley, and the third from Miss Mamie
Erskine, pupil of Miss Allie Major, in
Broadway Township. The last is cor
rect, the others not exactly 80. There
are forty-four States and six Territories,
and the District of Columbia, in the
United States. We appreciate the an
swers of all three, and hope in the future
to have other answers. Real letters are
worth more to pupils than imaginary or
sham letters, and the pupils will realize
benefit from writing answers to the cues
tions asked.

Wade Hampton's Farewell.

That was noble and impressive
appeal made in the Senate by Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina. He urged
upon the country the fatality of any such
partisan measure as the force bill, upon
the indisuptable ground that it would
injure the very race it was designed to
protect. That speech was notable one,
not only because it was the last one
delivered by Wade Hampton in the
Senate chamber, but because ofthe record
of the man who uttered the words.
When Gen. Hampton went before the
people of South Carolina for Governor in
1876 he made no sectional appeal. He
asked for suffrages of white and black
alike. One of the features of that cam
paign was the formation of colored Dem
ocratic clubs for bringing out the black
ballot and enlistipg the coored man in
behalf of good home government.
Thousands of negroes in that campaign
voted for Hayes and Hampton. Gen.
Hampton proved himself true to all his
promises and showed himself in the best
sense Governor of the whole people. He
has been one of the most liberal and con-
servativo of Southern statesmen aud his
testimony as to the emptiness of any
force bill was one of the most valuable
contributions to the debate.
This was practically Senator Hamp-
toms farewell to the Senate. It is no
less memorable and upon no less vital a
subject than when Senator Mason read
Calhoun's farewell address on slavery in
March, 1850. He declared what every
man in South Carolina knows to be true
and what is to his eternal credit, that he
has never been a candidate for Office
except at the urgent solicitation OF mis-
people. Senator Hampton's words were
those of statesman. His familiar figure
will be missed in the Senate. He pos
sessed in an eminent degree those quail.

man wherever he goes not peer only,
but a prince. They have 8 love Of
home; they have, the best of them, and
the most of them, inherited from the
great race from which they come, the
sense Of duty, the instinct of honor, as no
other people on the face of the earth.
They are lovers ofhome. They have not
the mean traits that grow up somewhere
in places where money-making is the
chief end of life. They have, above all,
and giving value to all, that supreme and
superb constancy which, without regard
to personal ambition, without yielding
to the temptation of wealth, without
getting tired and without getting divert
ed, can pursue great public object in
and out, year after year and generation
after generation. ."-Augusto Chronicle.

= Takes 1000 people to buy DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, at so cents bottle, to
make up $500. One failure to cure
would take the profit from 1000 sales.
Its makers profess to cure "cold in the

they fail they pay $500 for their over
confidence. Not in newspaper words but
in hard CASH! Think of what confidence
it takes to put that in the papers-and

The Eject the Great Forest Fires May
Have On 1t.
"How is the lumber trade?" "Well,"
said j. l.. Bookings, the lumberman,
"lt Is little weak now-that is, mean
We have not made so many ready sales
in the southern markets for the last
few weeks AS We usually do, but the
home trade holds its own. Building
has been comparatively stopped IN the
rural districts of Ohio and Indiana, and
the threatened strike among the car
penters of Fort Wayne hurt the bust
ness considerable at that place. Trade
is always dull In that section at this
season. Farmers are busy with their
harvest and have no time to make I'M
provements. Trade, however, Is as
good as it usually is at this time of the
year. The prices of lumber remain
firm, and there 10 a good demand tor
bill Sutf-that IS, building timber.
There has been a great call for bill stuff
during the whole season. Dry lumber
Is now coming into the market
IN sufficient quantities to supply
the demand. We are placing about
/ ,000, 900 feet on the market
each month. The prospects were never
brighter for . good fall trade than now.
The city trade is what keeps up the
lumber business at this time of year and
we can find no fault with condition Of
things Just now" Mr.. Brookings gave
his opinion when asked what he thought
would he the effect on the fall and next
years prices of lumber from the fire
having run through the pine forests
last spring as follows: "The fire, of
course, did considerable damage to
standing pine and a larger amount will
have to be taken from the
stump the coming winter than would
have been, but the present prices
will probably remain this year. The
Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin were
affected more by forest fires than the
Lower Peninsula, but the condition Of
affairs up there hardly ever reaches US.
Ii ls safe to say that the output next
year will be some heavier than il would
have been under different circum-
stances. The burned timber must be
cut in order to save it and the over
supply may have o tendency TO pull
down tae market somewhat for an
other year. Large tracts of pine in
Wisconsin that were burned over are
being placed on the market by owners
who do not care to engage in numbering
themselves.

JOHN BALL PARK.
1t Was Almost Filled with Little Folks
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Yesterday was just the kind Of a day
for enjoying the peace ana quiet Of the
John Ball park and thousands awaited
themselves of the opportunity. All
day long tram OF carriages wound up
and down through the beautiful drives.
Hundreds of children all dressed up in
their Sunday clothes ran about under
the trees and seemed as gay and happy
rs the summer songsters among the
leaves above them. In this limited
space of forty acres are hundreds of
beautiful ylstas down the driveways
and off the bluffs looking toward the
city. The charming little summer
houses are placed at the most advan-
tageous places as each one commands
u fine view and they are very popular
with private picnicing parties. An en-
terprising individual has set mp an ice
cream booth at the foot of the bluffs
and he appeared to be dong thriving
business yesterday. The park affords
an excellent opportunity for amateur
and professional photographers who
wish to secure fine views and the next
edition OF ''Grand Rapids AS 1t Is" will
undoubtedly contain several pictures
taken from this truly delightful place.
