A lively party, composed of the men,

WINGED them that ample accommoda-

December IA, Is and 16.
Headquarters will be at Hotel North.
This meeting will be the one at which
the biennial election of officers Will
occur. There are in all $50 oranges in
the State and it is thought that there
will be over 600 visitors in attendance
ana more, part of, the time. Every
effort is to be made tq, have this meet
ing the most successful one on record
The committee expressed themselves
to Mayor Choate as entirely satisfied
with the hospitality shown by the Au-
gusta people at the last meeting held
here last year, and they were very glad
that the meeting can be held here this

HISTORY OF MATCHES.
The Electric Match the Culmin ation
Of the Evolution,


The Electric Match the cuimination
Of the Evolution.
The first practical friction matches
were made I'm 1927 by an English
apothecary named Walker, who coated
splints of cardboard with sulphur and
tipped them with q mixture of sulphatc |
of anthony. chlOrate Of potash and
gum. A box Of eighty.four matches
sold for 1 cent. piece of glass-paper |
being furnished with 1t for obtaining
ignition. In 1880 II London man named
Jones devised Il species Of match
which was little roll of paper soaked
in cilloroform of potash and sugar. with
n thin glass globule filed with sulphur
ic acid attached to one end. The glob.
ule being broken. the acid acted upon
the potash and sugar, producing IRE.
Phosphorus matches were first intro
duced OH commercial scale In 1SS3,
and after that improvements were
rapid.
The modern lucifcr match combines
in one instrument arrangements fol-
creating n spark, catching 1t on timber
and starting blaze. steps requiring
separate operations In primitive con.
trivances. 1t was In 1886 that the first
United states patent for friction
matches was issued. Splints for them
were made by saving or splitting
blocks of wood into slivcrs slightly at
tached ut the base. These were known
as slab" or "block" matches. ana
they are in use in parts Of this country
to-day. The latest important invention

which was invented by Swede named
Lundstrom In 1855. The head of the
safety match contains chlOrlte of pot

banking system similar to that now in
use in Germany. This we believe would
revolutionize agricultural affairs The
trouble with the banker under the pres
ent system is that he sometimes lends
to the farmer when he ought not to,
and refuses when he ought 10 lend: He
is not in a position to judge accurately
Then the mortgage is often foreclosed
when times are hard. just the worst
time for the farmer. Under our system
the farmers themselves would form the
bank, and they would lend no money
outside of the association. They begin
at once to form a reserve fund, laying
aside about a quarter OF the capital
IF a man wants to borrow money
for cow which he doesn't know how
to take care of. if the association thinks
he has not got TO that point where he
needs one yet, they tell him so. They
say: Jones. you can't have the money
for a COW YET; you are only worth pig
They lend him money enough to buy a
pig, but after time, IL he proves that
he is capable Of taking care of COW.
then they let him have the COW. II the
COW dies, the bank stands the loss, and
it VIII not feel it. IF the man had TO
stand the loss il would prove a severe
blow.

1t is proposed TO build the colony on the
plan of Paris and Washington. From
square mile of public buildings for
creameries, egg warehouses, etc, we
would have roads running in all direc-
tions TO the borders, like the spol1es of
a wheel We viii send out men TO col
lect the produce, whether it be much or
little, every day. and sell it to the best
markets we could get. When the colony
is established. we intend to go to the
aims houses and take the pick of the
inmates. Those left behind would be
taken later if they behaved themselves.
The land would cost each colonist about
81 per week. which would insure the
capitalist a fair rate of interest on his
money. 1t Will pay per cent on an in

BooTH-TUcKER's SCHEME.

Now and then a person reading a
daily newspaper viii find a paragraph
about a proposed colony. like the one TO
be started in California by Germans
printed in yesterdays Herald It is
some time since We heard from Edward
Bellamy in this connection, and the
presumption is that his colony is found
only in books and romances. Then
there is another colony somewhere
among the mountains of Tennessee, the
members of which put their entire faith
in the man at its head, and they are
such simple people that the thought
comes when reading about the colony
that its life is measured only by the
life of the man who is their leader, and
when he dies the colonists will scatter.
Then comes Eugene Debs with his
Social Democracy" but as he has not
yet begun to colonize, judgment must
be waived, and a chance given him TO
demonstrate his philosophy.
The latest reformer TO urge colonial
ton on the philanthropic plan is
Frederick de L. Booth-Tucker of the
Salvation Army. who is prosecuting his
scheme chiefly upon the lecture plat
form of the eastern cities. His inten-
lions are certainly noble, and every
man who loves his fellows will hope
that his plans may reach fruition. With
$3.50, coo he proposes TO start an enter
prise which viii convert city paupers
into farmers, and thus achieve a maine
malical settlement of the social prob
lem Perhaps he may obtain the sum
required by hat collections, but it is
doubtful. II is a very large sum TO
raise that way, yet a millionaire would
not miss it. and perhaps one may be
found who. out of a mingled feeling of
eecentricity and curiosity. would con-
tribute that amount 10 crafty a within
and thus enable Booth-Tucker to carry
out his plan. Even its failure as an ex-
pertinent would bring fame to the mil
lionaire of more enduring value to pos
terity than his wealth.
Booth-Tucl1er contributes a lengthy
article in the current Forum in ex-
PLANTATION OF his plan. and it possesses !
the merit of striking right from the
shoulder in the argunlentative orat0ry
of the Salvation Army. II is fortified

HARMLESS WARFARE.

If war means anything. it means to

der can do more effective killing than
another the one least effective is dis
earded and the other adopted. keeping
/ in mind alt the time the idea that the
killing Of men in warfare is the only

! That is one way of defining warfare.
but it is the old way. The new wav
comes in With the latest inventions to
prevent slaughter. The Jorgenson rifle
is a great thing. and will fire off bullets
like machine and one soldier with
an arm of this character. provided ne
has good sight and steady nerve (not
TO mention valor), car kill more men
in battle than could u armed with the
old fashion musket. But what avail is
the Jorgensen rifle or any other rifle
if the bullet emitted comes in collision
with something it cannot penetrate, and
that something is species of cloth
worn by a soldier, the enemy of the
other with the Jorgensen rife? Assum-
ing that both are clothed in this bullet
proof armor. where is the sense in fir
ing al each other? And if such warfare
be ludicrous. what other means will be
adopted by one nation of people TO
overcome another?
These queries are naturally suggested
by the tests made at Fort Sheridan. on
Wednesday. Sasimir seglen, an OBJ
scure tailor. invented a cloth which he
claimed was proof against bullets. The
war department determined to see
whether it was or not. and the test was
made under the supervision of Colonel
Robert Hall of the Fourth infantry. The
cloth covered the figure of man stand
ing. and shots were fired at this target
from 400 TO 200 yard range. The officers
admit that the bullets were stopped,
but say the cloth in its present shape
is too thick to be of any service to &,
soldier. save as a shield"
Save as a shield. That is the very OBJ
ject of this bullet proof cloth. 1t is one
and a half inches in thickness. and one
can imagine himself walking around
with a coat Of that thickness. yet it is
not so cumbersome as the coats of mail
that were worn in the days7of chivalry
And who can tell how soon Sasimir
Seglen. the tailor, or someone else, /
may invent some plan for reducing the
thickness of the cloth and making it
equally effective as the piece tested at
Fort Sheridan?

Therefore, if the contentious of /

If single, send your sweetheart a
cook book. and call the next evening.
Your reception will be of a tempera-
ture low enough TO inure you to most
any climate.
Give your friends a cold stare when
they greet you.

"Greenbacks are not money; they
are simply promises to pay" This is
recognized as a truism everywhere ex-
cept among our Populist brethren. And
because the words quoted are printed
in the version of the constitution
adopted for use in the Kansas schools,
the state superintendent, who is a
Populist, WIZ not permit the books to
be used. Such Intolerance could endure
nowhere but in Kansas.
