suraLess WAR
Horrible the cruciti.s Once Prcticed

No page Of the worlds history is more
replete with tragic horror than that

ut was" says Motley. "a wal Of wolf
sh mallgnity, wherein every man SEEM
ed inspired by a spirit Of special and
personal vengeance" Fortunate, In
Iced, were such as fell in the heat Of
battle. for in the eyes Of the victors no
refinement Of punishment was too ap-
palling. Cruelties too monstrous for de-
scription were daily perpetrated; men
saw their towns converted into slaugh-
.er-houses and solitudes, while they
themselves were torn limb from limb,
'crlmped alive like fishes" hanged,
starved, roasted before slow fires,
pinched to death with red-hot tongs,
fayed alive and broken on the wheel.
The women a worse fate befel. But
while we exccrate the ruthless cruelty
Of the Spaniards. we cannot hold their
opponents blameless, for when occasion
offered they often retaliated with a saw
age reprisal, priests and other noncom-
hatants falling victims to their mcrci-
less rage. To calculate the number slain
during this war is impossible. At the
instigation Of Alva alone $4,000 were
executed, while the number Of those
who persisted by battle, siege, starva-
ton and massacre defies computation.

Oldest of the Old.

The Oldest Inhabited house in the
Kingdom is Dunvegan Castle, in the
Isle of Skye. the seat of the McLeods,
Of Mcleod, part of which dates from
the ninth century, or a couple of hum
dred years before the conquest by Will
lam the Norman.
The castle is built on a promontory
at the head Of a loch, and must have
been a place Of great strength in the
days when the McLeods and McDon
aids were at constant warfare.
Sir Walter Scott spent a night there
in the fairy chamber" his experiences
furnishing matter for one of his Let
tiers on Demonology."
The Oldest family in the world is that
Of Mutsu Hito, the Mikado of Japan,
the throne of that empire having been
filed by members Of his family for
more than $500 years. The present
Mikado is the 1921 of the line. The first
one was contemporary with Nebuchad-
nezzar. 666 years before the Christian
era.
The Oldest family in Europe is the
Austrian house Of Hapsburg. Of 952.
Mahomet was born in $40; his descend

Laundry Hints.


Much Of the shrinking aud discolora-
ton Of flannels is caused by hot water,
hot irons, and the application to the
wet flannels. The garments should be
looked over, and soiled spots rubbed
with soap before wetting. Make warm
suds, and add n tablespoonful of am
monia to a gallon of water. Squeeze
the garments with the hands. and rinse
III water of the same temperature as
the first. until clean. If colored, add
white vinegar to the water. to set the
color. After w%ringing, shake well. and
draw into shape. Dry AS quickly as
possible. The garments should he
pressed while still damp. with a warm
iron. until perfectly dry. Under this
treatment old tlannels will keep as soft
as new ones.
AS time passes there is less starcn
used in the laundry. Some of the old
time starched garments were about as
comfortable and comely MS u coat of
mail. Skirts. of course. must have
some starch, though they never should
be so stiff as to rattle. and table-linen
irons much better If it has Just a sug-
gestion of starch; though just when
the suggestion has reached the limit.
most laundresses seem unable to de.

MOLINO PICNIC.
An Old-Time Picnic at Hisey's Bridge,
Near Molino.

The oldfashioned picnic at Hisey's
bridge, just east of Molino, last Thurs
day was most enjoyable affair and
was largely attended by Mexico peo-
pie, who know where to 60 when they
want good time. Splendid speeches
were made by Hon. Champ CLARK and
Captain O. T. Allen, two of the best
and most entertaining speakers in the
country. The attendance was very
large. The picnic grounds are nicely
located and the farmers for miles
around brought baskets laden with
good things to eat. Mr.. A. 8. Hous,
ton, of Mexico, told the LEDGER that
he never saw better dressed, more
intelligent or prosperous looking
gathering in his life. The picnic was
a success in every sense of the word.
The Mexico Band furnished music and
it was first-class in every particular.
Much of the credit of the enterprise is
due to the following committees:

Going to Washington.

George Corner, who has held a re-
sponsible position with Kent & Son,
grocers, for the past 81 years, has re-
ceived letter from his brother, Lor-
ing Corner, who is at present working
in large grain warehouse in Elber-
ton, Washington. He tells George
that he has secured position for
him in the warehouse at Elberton,
owned and operated by Lill Smith and
Will Huntley, both formerly of this
county; the former lived nearLaddo-
mia and the latter near Farber. The
boys are doing nicely now and will
clear $40, 900 apiece this year on theil
wheat crop. They have 5000 acres Of
land together. 1t is soil that wheat can
be raised on for 35 cents per bushel
When Georges brother wrote it was
selling at 70 cents. The land raises
from 25 to As bushels to the acre.
One man, VIM. Lee, of that place
had mortgaged his large ranch and fol
the past three years had not been able
to pay the interest; he wanted the
mortgage holders to close him out
last year, but they would not. This
years crop will pay off principal and
interest and give Mr.. Lee snug &C.
count besides.
George has held a position of trust
with w. l.. Kent & Son for nearly 4
years and there is no one louder in
praise of him than his employers. He
is careful, accurate, honest and looks
after his employers interest. May
the best of luck attend his every ef-
fort
