The pages Of the ever old reliable IN
TELLIaENCER grow more interesting ev-
cry week, Mr.. Editor, and you deserve
our thanks and patronage.
The health Of this section is very good,
and our people are making fine progress
on the farms. We have put in all our
guano, and are planting corn in hurry.
The rows are long and we are putting
plenty in the drill. The cotton rows,
however, are short. We should now fol-
low the example of our bachelor neighbor
and plant sorghum seed.
We have fine school in this section
now, taught by Mrs. John Anderson, who
is so painstaking and careful in instruct
ing the children. The patrons of the
school are highly pleased with her work.
We have had fine seasons for preparing
and planting our lands. -
1t seemed for awhile last Saturday
night that we were going to have cy-
clone. The winds were high, but no
damage resulted.
Despite tho cry of hard times we all
have plenty of corn bread, peas and pota-
toes, and fish occasionally.

8 The National Association OF Democrat
Clubs advises all Democratic societies
in the United States to celebrate, each in
its own way, the approaching birthday
Of Thomas Jefferson. This request has
been annually issued by the association
ever since j.s formation, and the celebra-
ton has crystalized into a custom which
is almost universal among the Demo-
cratic clubs. Advices from headquar-
ters are to the effect that twill be gener-
ellya observed this year. Many large
clubs have begun their preparations, and
public men, and especially Democratic
leaders in Congress, are being sought for
speeches. The National Association ad-
vises that, where it is not inconvenient,
the 18th Of April be observed, because
it is best to observe one day instead Of
two, and because the 18th was chosen
by Mr.. Jefferson's contemporaries for
the event of the kind in 1880, at which
President Jackson gave the historic toast
'sThe Federal Union: It must be pre-
served"

: Mrs. N1cClain, of Pittsbnrg, Pa,
wife ola South Side ironwurker, went
home drunk one day last week, and
when her little three-ycar- old child began
to cry she threw her upon a red-hot
slovc. The child rolled off, but the un-
natural mother picked her up and again
placed her upon the stove. The screams
OF the child brought the father, who res
cued her and then knocked his vito
down. When the neighbors heard of the
act they promptly organized vigilance
committee to tar and feather the woman,
but she escaped and has not been heard
of since. The child is terribly burned,
but will recover.

Brother against Brother.

When the time shall have come, as it is
bound to do, that the history of moonshi-
ming in Georgia will form the most
unique and picturesque features Of the
States history, the Saline family will de-
serve full chapter.
And there could not be better or
more entertaining chapter in many vol
umes.
Moonshiners to the manner born, con-
noissers of good mountain dew, with an
eye for fine location for distillery, the
Saline family, of Lumpkin County, has
made reputation in the United States
Court, which few other families have
done.
There are FIVE of the Saline boys
rough, rugged and hard as pine knobs
and every one Of them has figured in
some distillery troubles. It's inherent,
one OF these Saine boys was arraigned in
the United States Court. The case was
no more serious than the ordinary charge
Of moonshining makes one, but great
and formidable array of witnesses ap-
peared for the defense. One Of the wit
nesses was Saine's brother. He eswore for
his brother. Strange to say Mike Saline,
another brother, appeared as q witness on
the side Of the prosecution. He gave in
some telling evidence against his brother
the boy he had played with, the COM
panion Of his youth.
AS result Saline got thirteen months
and fine of 800 besides. But fate works
strange-capers if she has just little time,
and it required but little time to bring
about thing which looked rather like q
Just retribution. And the old adage of he
"who laughs last gets in the heartfest
chuckle'' was verified quite conclusive
Yesterday Mike Saline was brought up
in the United States Court on the same
charge of which he had sworn his brother
was guilty.
And to carry out the novel coincidence
two of Saine's brothers were there to tes-
tify against him. The evidence was con-
clusiye and then the fact that. 1t was his
fifth time convicted him.
Fifteen months imprisonment was the
hard Sentence the Judge pronounced
upon him. It was retribution with in
terest.
Saines was carried to Jail and locked up
in the Crock" He 10 ia hard.looking GUS
toner, with tho yellowest Of boards and
q prominent red nose. AS he jingled the
Lig iron cuff which chained him to anoth-
er prisoner he said:
ayes, I get it good this time. Fifteen
months? Purity good time to be shut
up"
And shut up with his brother whom he
swcre against, is not their association to-
gether likely to be highly pleasant.
Such Is one single instance in the histo-
ry of moonshining. .--Atlauta Co'astitu-

a Verltable Sen of Flame.

BARCELONA, March, 27.-In the harbor
here today sailor on lighter which
was transporting petroleum from an
American vessel to the docks dropped a
lighted match on one of the barrels.
The barrel took fire and in moment
was In q blaze. The fire leaped from
stem to stern, and the crew of the lighter
Jumped for their lives and swan ashore
or to other boats. The lighter drifted
around in the harbor, q mass OF hames'
and the burning oil ran out on the water.
Six vessels at anchor near the spot where
the lighter took fire tried to get away,
but the rapidity with which the blazing
oil was blown toward thom left them no
time.
The corvette Thyra caught fire first,
and those of her crew on board had 10
get away on the other side in small boats
or jump and swim until picked up. the
corvette g decks were on fire within lew
minutes, and the vessel was burned TO
the waters edge and sunk within an
hour.
The steamers Casitla, Albano, Walter
and Pi caught shortly after the Thyra
was abandoned. Thoir crews had already
cot away. Attempts were made to tow
them away from the other shipping and
to bring streams Of water from other
boats to throw on them, but the oil In
the harbor rendered these attempts 80
unsafe that no volunteers could be kept
at the work.
The war ship Lepanto was started
from her moorings, but before she could
get under way one of the burning steam
ers swung up beside her and her rigging
caught fire. Before this could be eS-
tingnished, burning brands wore blown
on the decks by the rising wind and the
commander was unable to keep the few
men not absent on leave at work fight
ing the flames. They lowered the boats
and with the aid of a launch which had
come out to them escaped unhurt. Ihe
Lepanto sank this evening.
The launch Calman was also burned
and sunk.
Not life was lost. although several
men were injured while trying to beat
back the flames from the Lapauto. The
widest panic prevailed among the ships
in the harbor during the fire, and many
which were at q distance from the light
er when it took fire, saved themselves
only by starting seaward immediate

A Madman Captures q State House.

JACKSON, MISS, March 23.-When the
Legislature was assem- bling yesterday, a
crazy man named Bryant took possession
of the State House for an hour and ran
things 10 suit himself. Several officers
came to arrest him, but with big knife
in each hand he defed them, and furi-

ran down the stairs and into the street,
hundreds OF people, including Legislators
and State officials, fleeing before him.
After getting out of the crowd three po-

him in Jail. He was recently discharged
from the asylum as cured, but will be re-

A Few Thoughts From A Lebanonite.

Well Disciplined Ducks.


During our stay at Hankow we visited
duck farm. The process of keeping
the ducks is very simple. A large
wooden shed stands near the edge of the
river, where the owner of the farm OF
an employee spends the night with his
feathered friends. There must have
been several thousands of ducks in the
farm we visited. Before sunrise the
door of the shed was opened, and out
run the ducks, scrambling one over the
other into the river, where they spend
the day feeding.
AS soon as sunset approaches, from all
parts of the river they come, for they
wander far among the rushes and islands
during the day, and there is still more
hurry and scurry to get into the shed
than there was to get out at dawn. The
reason is simple. Immovable by the
door sits the Chinaman, long cane in
his hand, and woe betide the last duck
to enter, for down on its back comes the
long bamboo with pain infiicting thud.
In this way punctuality is insured among
the ducks.
Children could hardly have learned
their lesson better than the ducks

How Man SIeeps.

Adult man is, believe, the only ami
NAL who ever elects to sleep upon his
back. Some of the lower savages seem
to sleep comfortably on occasion in a
crouching position, with the head bent
down upon the knees, just as well as
the common tribes of monkeys do.
Among the quadrumana it is not until
we come to the platform building an
thropoid types that we find recumbent
position habitually taken during sleep.
The young orangs and chimpanzees that
they have had at the geological gardens
slept with the body semiprone and with
the limbs, or all except one arm, which
was used as pillow, curled under them.
This is exactly the position voluntarily
adopted by so per cent. of children
between ten and twenty months old
which l have had opportunities of
watching. was told by the attendants
at the geological gardens that no ape
will sleep flat on his back as adult man
often does.-Nineteenth Century.
