A map IN the advertising columns
tells the story of the wonderful
changes going on in the south. The
Savannah river, from this city for
100 miles westward, has many his
toric plantations, which, from the
days of the colonial government to
the end of the civil war, were noted
for their extent and fertility as well
as for the hospitality of their own
ers. Possibly the best known Of
these places near this city was The
Potter plantation, or, more properly,
plantations, as there were three
places. They were principalities ex-
tending from the islands opposite
the mainland on the southern bank
of the river miles back into the pine
lands.
Potter's grove, as part of the bluff
covered with massive, moss festooned
oaks was known, was as famous as
Bonaventure. In Whites Statistic,
published nearly fifty years ago, is a
full page illustration of the spot.
These places, as grand as ever in
natural beauty and productiveness,
are still there, but the old plantation
life and customs are no more. The
descendants of those who were once
lords of the manor now live at the
north and feel no interest in the
homes of their ancestors
The Potter place nearest the city,
known as THE Grange, which was
sold several years ago, promises to
become a farming settlement. The
river front is a high bluff covered
with majestic trees. A good read
extends from that point through the
center of the plantation to the Ag1s-
Ia road and the Charleston and Sa-
vannah railway, a distance of two
miles. The land on each side is laid
off in small farms.
Probably there is no spot in the
country so well adapted for truck
gardening. The land is fertile and
the means of getting produce to
market are unrivaled. Nothing
would be more in keeping with the
progress of the age than that this old
plantation should become the center
of a colony of prosperous farmers.
On the river the scenery is beautiful
enough to induce people who are L ot
farmers to invest, so as to have a
quiet country resting place. -Savsn-

Hiding In His Own Hair.

Wilhelm Schmidt, living four mi les
south of Conneaut, o., has become
ole of the most remarkable freak
outside of the museums. He las
been in this country thirty four
years, but is unable and unwilling to
speak word of English, living with
his wife and daughter on an isolated
little farm that yields corn and po-
tatoes enough for the trio A visitor
from curiosity called on the old man,
and thus describes what he saw:
What proved to be Schmidt sat in
an armchair in the center of the one
roomed house. Only huge mound
of hair surmounting his shoulders
was visible-not human feature to
be seen. Schmidt propped his cane
against his chair, and with both
hands pulled this shock of hair open,
showing his face, which was bleached
and uncanny looking, like vegetables
grown under cover. Only for a min
ute was the old mans face to be seen,
for he dropped the curtain of hair
back over it, saying in German that
he did not like the light and could
not endure it.
The great mass of hair fell as
thickly over his face in front as over
the back of his head Schmidt has
worn his hair as a hiding place for
his head and face for eighteen years
and steadfastly refuses to have it
cut. His eyesight has been prac-
tically destroyed by having the light
shut from it so long-Cor. Pitts

They Said Ditto to Twins.

At one of the largest shipping of
fees in the city, as the majority of
the clerks reside in the most distant
suburbs, a certain amount of grace
is allowed them for arriving in the
morning. They are, however, re-
Quired to explain on a list specially
provided for the purpose the cause
of their unpunctuality. The first to
make his appearance always leads
off with the words, Train late, -
BUS horses down." or as the case
may be, and to this the other clerks
invariably say, Ditto"
So accustomed have they become
to the formal procedure that they
hardly ever take the trouble to see
what excuse heads the list. The
other morning the first arrival con

A Terrible Threat.

Some time ago in a large shipping
town, big, muscular sailor, rolling
to his lodgings at a late hour, made
night hideous with unearthly shouts
and yells. A diminutive sergeant of
police accosted the offender and de-
nounced him in unmeasured terms
for his unruly conduct. The sailors
only response was to put his arm I'M
tremendously about the sergeant's
waist and carry him off in silent
triumph.
The little sergeant kicked and
struggled, but all to no purpose; he
was held as if in bands of iron. At
last, to the intense delight of the
spectators, the outraged officer of
law and order screamed out in per.
feet evaporation:
IF you don't put me down, I'll
take you up!"-London Tit-Bits.

She Knew What to Ask.

A west Washington young lady
who has been married but a few
weeks had her first experience at
going to market the other day.
After she had succeeded in making
several laughable blunders, as young
wives are apt to, she approached q
poultry dealer and asked the price OF
chickens. Being told by the dealer,
who also handed her fine pair OF
live birds to examine, she quoted
their fiuttering as best she could, and
then, applying her nose to them and
giving them an audible smell. said il
the most innocent manner:
Are you sure they are fresh

Poisoned By Eating Medicine

PTTTsBURa, Pa, Sept. "a physician
in driving hurriedly to visit a patient
yesterday afternoon lost his medicine
case. 1t contained numerous vials of
sugar coated pills. Three boys, Ralf
McAuly, aged 3, and Willie and James
McKelvie, aged 2 and years, who
were playing near the curb on Carver
street, found it. Its contents filed
their little hearts with delight and to
them there was nothing but candy.
They went to an orchard and began to
devour the pills. Someone saw them.
They were hurried home, dosed with
milk and doctor sent for. The latter
administered antidotes for poison and
brought stomach pump into use. The
children were in excruciating pain up
to midnight, when they began to mend.
The doctor spent most of the night
with them. This morning he pro-
nounced them out of danger.
