AMERICANS ON PAROLE.
Hammond is the Only One Still in

Washington, D. c., Jan. 25.-The

covered the American and other leaders
issued a proclamation calling on people to

Instead Of melting rebellion, Hammond
In the beginning raised the Transvaal flag

Clement and other Americans took arms
from many and sent the men home. Not a
shot was fired by the Johannesburg party

In view Of the foregoing it is believed

INTELLIGENT ADVERTISING.

Merchants are very much pleased with
the business of the past few months ana
arehopeful of a continuace of good times
One fact has been most clearly demons
strated this season, says the Augusta Eve
ming Herald, and that is that those VINO
used the papers in proclalming the ex
cellence of their wares were the ones
who reaped the richest harvest. 1t is
the vear-round advertiser who impresses
himself and his goods on the minds OF
the people
The merchant that adYertises spasmod-
ically is like the business nan who tries
to succeed without system-neither ever
amounts to anything.
In nearly all CT les any size the
advertising part of a merchants business
is left to some capable man to look al
fer and an appropriation is reckoned on
each wear for this department, just the
same as rent or any other Legitimate
item of expense. Nothing so helps to
build great city as good newspaper
and nothing so stimulates newspaper
as the substantial all-the-year round
support ssof the merchants and citizens
There is no enterprise, the Herald right
ly says, so enterprising as a live paper.
It is the only Institution that puts all
its earnings into its ambition to publish
a better paper each day of its life, even
if the people only hall. hold up his hands
it's work of love, enterprise, and pro
gressiveness.

Football In Africa.

Englishmen are proverbial for taking
their games with them into whatever
part Of the world they go. Golf, as we
know, is played in the shadow of the
pyramids and in the very heart Of the
Himalayas, but football in the middle
of darkest Africa is something of an in
novation. Yet football is rapidly be-
coming popular on the shores of Lake
Nyassa, and at Kotakota, which a few
years ago was notorious as the greatest
depot for slaves on the western shore of
the lake, mixed teams of black and
white meet every Saturday with as
much regularity as do our home teams,
though the local chroniclar Omits to say
whether Rugby or Association has won
the suffrages Of the Nyassa teams. One
startling feature of the game is that the
black players decline to hamper them
selves with boots and find apparently
no inconvenience in playing with bare
feet.-London Cor. Manchester Guard

But lore, the boon of lord and clown,
Love had he made his own,
Love, jeweled beyond any crown,
Loftier than any throne
Had found a maiden fond and fair,
Who, trembling on his heart, wept her glad
weakness there.
Alas for her, the graced, the good,
Forever doomed to wear
The moekery of widowhood
About her maiden hair.
Scarce had she time to reach and clasp
The gifts of love but they were ashes in her
grasp!
Oh, if she could exchange her lot
And now were free to choose
With one who in some whitewashed cot,
Over her baby COOS
And tend the humblest hearth that burns
To whose awaiting smile the cherished one
returns!

HOLES in THE CANVAS.
An Important Discovery Increasing the
Efficacy cf SAILS.

L-JGcacy "a tssA4lAs
An italian sea captain, Gio Eatta
VasalIo of Genoa, has made veGy inter-
estiag innovation i'll the use Ct sails CT
ordinary sailing vessels. Ha claims that
the force CT wiEd cannot fully take eff
feet in q sail since the ar il front of it
cannot properly circulate in the inflated
part and remains stationary Immediate
" in front Of part of the sail proper. He
avoids this stagnation of air, as he calls
it, by the application Of number CT
small holes in that part of the sail where
the depression is deepest when it is fill
ed. These holes are REINFORCED like
buttonhole, SO that they will not tear out.
Trials made in various weather have
resulted as follows: With light wind
a boat with ordinary sails made
knots, while the new sail increased the
speed to d knots. In fresh breeze the
respective speeds were and 84 knots,
and in q strong wind they were and 10
knots an hour. 1t stands to reason that
the doing away with layer Of air
which cannot escape past the sides OF
sail must increase the efficiency Of the
sailbOat. Where the wind formerly
struck cushion of air which acted like
a spring mattress, decreasing the actual
pressure Of the wind against the canvas,
this current of air now strikes the sail
direct. and Of course has greater eff
cheney. Vasallo has received much en-
couragement. from practical sailors as
we'll as theoretical scientists. -Phila-

where men and women are guided IN
their actions by wholesome sentiment,
where people live rghteously, and where

are content to move slowly but sanely

vast majority of us who live in other
portions of the country get through with

understand that there isIa stronghold OF
conservatism which stands between

Pride Where There Should Be Shame

Pride Where There Shoutd BE Shame'
The following sensible remarks are
from the Blakely Observer:
A great many men take pride in the
fact that they take TO interest in politics,
and not only take no steps to remedy
the evils they criticse, but actually feel
a complacent pride in doing nothing.
A man who takes no interest in polls
tics is one who falls very far short of
doing his duty. Does he Speak of pc
litical corruption? The man who permits
wrongs without trying to remedy them
is only second in guilt to the man who
perpetrates them.
A lack of interest in politics is good
cause for shame, but no cause for pride.
1t is lack of patriotism. 1t is lack of
interest in mankind, for political affairs
affect more widely than they are affected
in any other way.
Every citizen of the country who has
an opinion on any subject, political or
otherwise, should have that opinion
strongly enough to act in accordance
with it's dictates. Every man who has
a political opinion should do all in his
power to carry it. out. The man who
sits patiently, while the people are being
cursed by bad laws, and makes no effort
to relieve them is partner in the
wrong; and the man who takes pride in
this carelessness glories in his own
shame.

Aroma and Bouquet In Wines.


"Aroma and bouquet, said we'll
known wine expert, care too often TAX
en- to mean the same thing in wine.
Flavor pertains especially to the linger-
ing aftertaste Of wine when swallowed.
Aroma and bouquet appeal only to the
smell, and the former exists in the grape
itself, while bouquet only manifests
itself long after fermentation is COM
pleted. Bouquet is never present except
in the purest wines. 1t seems to arise
from a union of several agreeable OdOrs,
and any mixture would surely destroy
it. There are no truly fine wines with
out a strikingly marked agreeable bou-
quet, and where all other qualities are
of equal perfection the bouquet makes
the distinction that gives to the wine
possessing it always the preference. -

When the sows have narrowed
early in the Spring and thrifty
growth has been made, so that the
pigs can be weaned at 10 to IL
weeks old, it will often be a good
plan to breed the sows for fall pigs.
Unless the sows have been given
good care, they will have run down
more in condition while sucking
their pigs, and it will pay to give
them little extra attention, aided
with good breed feed, in order to
have them in good gaining con-
dition when she is bred. This is
one of the first essentials in secur-
ing vigorous pigs.
Whether or not it is advisable to
breed for fall pigs depends upon the
Willingness Of the farmer to give
the pigs such treatment as is essen
tial to maintain good, thrifty con-
dition. If the pigs that are narrowed
in the fall are neglected and allow
ed to take careof themselves, it will
be money saved not to breed the
SOW.
1t is only in exceptional cases
that it can be considered advisable
