Probably there is no nautical term
more frequently used during the pres
ent naval war than the word knot. :"
The word is synonymous with the nau.
tical mile, or 6OSO.27 feet, while, as
every one knows, the geographical
mile is $3.50 feet. This would make the
knot equal to 1 15-100 of geographical
miles, and, therefore, in order to com.
pare the speed of a boat expressed in
knots with railroad train it is neces.
sary to multiply the speed in knots by
! 15-l00. Another point to remember
is that speed means a distance Travelled
in unit time, so that when one speaks
of boat having a speed of 20 knots il
is not necessary or proper to add per
hour, as the word itself when employed
as unit Of speed signifies nautical
miles per hour. A cruiser that makes
21 knots travels 2415 geographical
miles per hour. The fastest speed yet
obtained by any boat is said to have
been attained by the yacht Ellide
which is known to have a record of one
geographical mile in one minute, thir.
ty-six and a half seconds, or 3S.2 miles
an hour. In fact, a recent article in
one Of the engineering journals states
that record Of 40 miles an hour has
been made by this boat.

Hail TO thee, star-spangled Banner,
Symbol Of the brave and free.
Unfurled above the Nations temples,
Or above her sails at sea;
Thou art the same star-spangled
glory
Banner Of sweet Liberty.
In all the worlds recorded ages,
Never banner waved on high,
Above so vast a realm of Freedom,
As thy Stars and Stripes which fly
Above the millions of the Union,
Meath the glowing western sky.
Ensign Of Right, Ensign of Glory,
Emblem Of a people free,
No wrong can ever mar thy beauty
With the millions loving thee
The millions who are men and mighty,
Sons Of Right and Liberty.

ENGLISH ADVICE.

London, March 15.-The Daily News
commenting this morning on its Washing
ton correspondents remarks that Presi.
dent McKinley's intimates believe him In
favor Of waving all questions of indem-
nifty, provided Spain will accept Ameri-
cas- friendly meditation in Cuba, says:
"Such a solution would be the best for
all parties. II Spain is not able to man.
age her own colonies, they must be man.
aged for her. That, and no straining OF
the Monroe doctrine, Is the source OF
American feeling against Spain.
"There will be no disgrace or discour-
tesy in accepting the friendly relations Of
power with no ambitions or aims Of It's
own to crafty. II president Mckinley
can find way out of the difficulty he will
earn the gratitude of the United States,
Spain, Cuba, and mankind"
The Times, commenting upon the cor
diality Of the interview between Presi-
dent Mckinley and Senior Polo y Bern
abe, the new Spanish Minister to Wash
ington, and commencing the Presidents
policy, says:
"Mr. Mckinley cannot more surely
tranquilize American opinion and secure
a fair field for his pacific endeavors than
by convincing the American people that
he is prepared for all contingencies.

THE FARMERS TROUBLE.

The Times Recorder, Of Americas, Ca,
points out an evil that is making the far
mers Of that section OF country poorer
every year. 1t says:
Down In the storage warehouse OF the
Americas Grocery Co. were to be seen two
great pyramids-one OF baled hay and the
other of potatoes In barrels. OF the hay
there were sixteen solid carloads, while
six cars were required TO transport the
potatoes-a solid freight train OF % cars
bringing from the north two products that
can and should be raised here. The piles
of hay and potatoes represented an outlay
Of perhaps $4,000. Tho farmer will eat
the eastern potatoes and the mule will eat
the western hay while powing TO raise
scent cotton"
This travesty upon farming exists not
only In Georgia, but In many other States
1t is one of the greatest troubles with the
farmers Of this State. Instead of raising
everything consumed on the farm. and
cnrtailing the cotton or other money crop
they plant heavily OF the latter and cur
tail the feed crops. The result Is, that
when the prices go down, as they are sure

A proposition is being seriously
agitated, and the more it is discussed
the more wide spread ii becomes, look.
ing to the disbandment of the coiored
volunteer troops in the United States
army. This movement is being led
by conservative men whoa moved so
to do irrespective of party sffiiiation
and are such class as to command
the respect and attention OF the Ad-
ministrasion. Thseonduet of these
troops. especially in the South, has
been anything else butpnducive to
the peace and morals of the commu-
mites where they are located. They
are source of constant friction both
in the field and in the camp and
they have proven themselves totally
unworthy to defend the honor and
integrity of the country. Their be-
havior has been reproach to the
intelligent members Of their race,
and the good and respectable ele-
ment of their color is made to feel
the shame and disgrace Of the rerep,
hensible conduct Of their representa-
tives in the army. These remarks,
of course, are applicable only to the
rowdies who have shown themselves
incapable Of controlling their pas
sions and cannot be taught discipline.

An exchange says that the annual
report of Secretary Gage was sent to
the Speaker of the House yesterday.
The receipts for the fiscal year are
four hundred and ninety-four mil
lions, three hundred and ninety three
thousand dollars. The expenditures
exceed this by thirty-eight million,
which include the military establish
ment. The expenses of the war
were ninety-two millions, of which
ffty-nine millions were for the navy.
The receipts compared with previous
years are sixty-four millions. The
increase in expenses for the military
was forty-three millions and for the
navy twenty-four millions.

OBITUARY.

It seems but yesterday that the
gentle mother of lovely family
Bethany Boozer Caughman, stood in
the pride and beauty of her woman
hood. Though in her ssth year, her
vitality was reluctant to diminish
sustained by a vigorous constitution,
a tireless activity and wonderful
love that kept her fresh and youthful.
"Whoever loves is in no condition
old"
Vividly thrilling was the last act
of her life, as she bent down and
tenderly placed the sleeping little
great grand child in its cradle for its
nights repose. Just as she laid
down the dear little one to rest and
to awake again to the joys and sor-
rows of this earthly life; so was she
a few hours later to be laid down
by her heavenly father on the soft
and loving breast Of Jesus to sleep
from which none ever wake to weep,
but to rejoice amid the pleasures and
triumphs of the heavenly life. As
the sad message of her departure
from the shores OF time reached her
children and grandchildren they
fastened to her bed side where with
tortured brows, tear, stained eyes and
hearts Of anguish they clasped her
hands, and pressed her lips with the
last kisses of fond affection and long
farewell. Though voiceless, her eyes
met them with that quick, swift,
earnest look and joyous recognition
which ever comes to the pure and
good in their passing hour. While
the bereaYed ones were lcath 10 re-
sign a JOY that bad so radiantly
illuminated their existence, their
Christian faith sustains, sooths and
upholds them in their sore afiiction,
knowing that the living and dead are
not lost to each other.
This elect lady, whom we all
revere and love SO much, was born
near Lexington, S. c, May 16sh,
1911 and died November 28tb, 1898.
She was united in marriage to Saml.
P. Caughmap, on April 5th, 1882,
whom she survived by number Of
years. In the sacredness of mother
hood, she was blessed with nine
children, ten grandchildren and six
great grandchildren. Five children
and four grandchildren have. pre-
