himself with all the limbs he has. The use of
the foot. therefore. has been brought to II sys-

"savate" means literally "o!d SHOE" hut in

is. doubtless, because tho kick was used first
in settling the quarrels Of DULLES. Their old

name has been retained now that the pro-
fessors OF the art OF kicking have reduced it
to a science. The savate is a comparatively
modern method Of attack.

MILLIONS FOR PENSIONS.
EVEN NOBLE THINKS IT TINE TO
GALL A HALT.

Re Deos What He Can to Make a Good
Showing for His Departm ent by Hold
ing the Estimates for the Ensuing
Year Down to a Figure Much Below
the Actual Requirements.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Secretary Noble
has astonished Pension Commissioner Raum
by figuring out that the necessary appro-
priation for pensions for the next fiscal year
is Sl65, 100000 instead of $3.50. 200, 900, at
which Commissioner Raum put it. or the
S2OO, 900 900 at which Secretary Foster of
the treasury estimates it. Secretary Mobiles
action deceives no one in public life, be-
cause every public man in the administra-
ton, OF IN congress, is well aware that the
monthly pension payments, now averaging
SlS $500, 900, or S162 900, 600 year, will be
S15 600. 900 a month at least, or $3.50. 900, 900
year during the next fiscal year. provided
the pension system stands just as IL is to-
day, as in all probability it will.
NOBLE IN A BAD POSITION.
Naturally Secretary Noble desires to
make as good a showing for his department
In going out of Office as possible, and appre-
ciating the rising feeling in the country
against pension extravaganza, is trying TO
make it seem less than il is. Secretary
Noble, himself volunteer soldier, Is per-
sonally, it is understood, opposed TO much
that has been done in congress and in the
pension Office TO swell the pension lists and
increase pension payments. But under
political pressure he has been compelled to
put mp with what he could not prevent. Ii
is we'll known here that Secretary Noble
the actions of Corpl Tanner
and Gen. Raum, as pension commissioners,
which met the approval Of the country.
WANTED BOTH oUsTED.
1t is believed that he was largely instru-
mental in bringing about the resignation of
Commissioner Tanner, and 1t is believed
that he endeavored to secure the removal OF
Commissioner Rsum. For some reason,
which has never been quite clear, President
Harrison would not take Secretary Mobiles
advice in regard to Commissioner Raum,
and the latter will, therefore, probably be
in Office longer than Secretary Noble, who
will, of course, go out on March s. No one,
Of course, supposes that Commissioner
Raum will, however, remain in office any
longer than is necessary for the selection Of
his successor.

AN EDITOR ON A FARM.

D. B. Sweat OF Wsycross Buys Home
In the Country.
IWAYCRoss. GA, Nov. 2S.-Editor D. B.
Sweat Of this city has bought farm near
here and has built nice cottage on it. 1t
is one Of the best farms in the county and
is situated on the Air Line railroad. Sixty
acres are cleared. Twenty acres will be
devoted TO the culture of the scuppernong
grape, while on the remaining forty acres
will be grown every known variety of fruit.
He says that he is satisfied, from
experiments made here on grape
and fruit culture, that in
the near future this will be the largest grape
and fruit growing section in the state.
Other gentlemen have spoken OF going into
the business of grape and fruit culture on a
large scale. For several decades the prin-
cipal variety of fruit grown here has been
the pear. The farmers are convinced that
the grape, peach, plum and apple are more
successfully grown here than they had ever
dreamed of. On every farm trees Of almost
every variety of fruit have been planted
and the farmers are greatly interested in
the subject
The supply OF fruit next year will DO
abundant and canning factory will be
built. This will help to make the fruit
growing industry a success.

for the organizations they represent. tt q
| engineers and tiremen have contracts with
the Central which are about to expire. They
anticipate no trouble in securing renewals,
with probably some minor changes agree
able to both parties. The conductors have
no contract, but expect to secure an agrees
ment with the railroad.
The telegraph operators are the only ones
likely TO cause trouble. Their request for
contract some time ago was pigeonholed by
Supt. Wadley and the operators have been
feeling sore ever Since. They have renewed
their demands for a contract.
The Order of Railway Telegraphers is
represented by the following committee: J.
B. Moore of East Point, A. n. Morris of
Butler, I. d. Williams of Amertcus, and T.
A. Nettles OF Hollins. They claim that
under the new management of
the Central railroad the hours of work
have been increased and the pay in
many instances decreased and they desire
state of affairs just the reverse of this.
They want the number of hours work in a
day specified and a schedule Of wages at in
creased rates.
The contract in full demanded by the
operators was pub lished in the MORNING
NEWS several days ago. The operators will
not say what they will do in case Supt.
Wadley refuses their demands second
time.
1t was reported last night that Chief Ar
thur of the National Brotherhood of Loco

to-day 20 confer with Supt Wadley, but
this was contradicted by the engineers, who
said there was no need for his presence.

City Hall Built.
WAYURoss, GA. Nov. 28.-The water
works commissioners succeeded in selling
the city bonds to Chicago firm some time
ago. The commissioners had expected to
have pushed the work of giving Waycross
an abundant supply of water but when the
bonds had been disposed of some of the city
fathers believed that the money could be
better used in building fine city hall than
to put 1t in water iworks. This
caused great deal OF dis
cussion between the commissioners
and the city council. No definite action has
been taken yet in the matter, but it is gem
orally understood that the city
hall and water works will
both be built. Should the water works
commission succeed in getting the con-
sent Of the council to commence work soon,
Waycross will have the finest artssian
system in South Georgia. The piping has
been arranged. and the depth Of the we'll is
already $50 feet.
The contract for building the city hall
has teen awarded to Messrs. Row botham
and Murphy, architects of this city. The
hall will be a handsome structure and will
cost about $4,000. The aroitects have to
work In hand, and 1t will be begun at an
early day. Wsycross has needed a hall for
some time. The rapid growth Of the place
demands better public buildings.
