Under new law in Missouri no man
may be permitted to shave another man
or cut his hair unless he has undergone
an examination by competent authorities
and secured license; otherwise stated. It
is the law in Missouri now that all bar
bers must be licensed. Now the question
arises, how is. Lon Stephens going to con-
vince the Missouri Populists that this is
them pay car fare to go to town every
time they want hair cut?

Two winters ago young William Byrne
of Chicago went to the Klondyke and To-
Gated CAIN. Both of his feet got FROST
bitten, and he had to return to the states
to have them amputated. A few days ago
he started back TO his claim, walking upon
a pair of wooden feet. Byrne says that
he will have the advantage of the boys
in the diggings next winter since he can
not suffer from cold feet any more.

The other day it was stated in Lon
don dispatch that an attempt would be
made next October TO report the interna-
tional yacht races OF Sandy Hook by
wireless telegraphy between Me- York
and London. The scientists " . are
working with Marconi on the system pro-
nounce the statement absurd. They
say that in ten, twenty or fifty years wire
less biography over several hundred miles
may be made possible, but at the present
time the idea of sending wireless messages
across the Atlantic is simply pyeposterous.

Once more, and probably for the last
time, the Kelley motor figures in the news
columns of the daily papers. Mr. Kin
raid, the inventor TO whom the apparatus
was submitted for investigation after the
death of John w. Kelley, has abandoned
all work on the apparatus, and will ship
1t back to Philadelphia. And this is the
fms of one of the greatest fakes of the
country.

Not only Savannah, but the whole of
Georgia should take a deep interest in the
proposition to send a team of military
rifemen to Sea Grit next fall. The Sa
vannah men have never failed to win hon
ors and glory for their city and state at the
Sea Girt matches. In the contest of two
years ago the Georgia team demonstrated
themselves 70 be the finest military rifle
shots in the United States, if not in the
world, making prac ically a clean sweep
of the prizes. It is almost too much to
expect that they would repeat the per-
Torrance at the next meeting, but it is
as certain as any future event can be that
when the final scores were made up Geor-
gia would be found al the top of the list,
or mighty close to it.

That 19-year-old son of Sam Hose who
died at Newman recently at the age of
p years, has mysterlous.y disappeared
from Philadelphia It seems chat he was
a college-bred negro, and was faultless
in his attire" according to the Philadelphia
Times Some Of those to whom he told
his tale of woe seemed to grow suspicious
OF him. and told him TO come back to see
them again. But he never showed up,
and no trace of him has been had for a
day or two. Most likely he has gone
to Boston. In that part of the country it
will not make a great deal of difference
that Sam Hose was only about % years
Old, and that he was an ordinary S13-a-
month farm hand who could not possibly
have sent a son to college; the Bostonese
will probably be glad to hear and believe
the story of the son of Sam Hose, since
it is against the Southern white people.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune CDem.), dis
cussing the extra session of the Alabama
legislature, says: Senator Morgan's
term in the Senate will expire in 1901, and
his successor will have to be elected at
the next regular session of the legislature.
Through his influence with the negroes
and Populists, as a result of preventing
any important change in the constitution,
il is hoped by his friends that a legisla-
ture can be chosen that will defeat Nor
gan, and send Johnston to the Senate in
his stead. The entire controversy in Ala
bama Democratic politics to-day is over
questions of personal political schemes
Al the great interests of the state are
to be made subservient to personal politi-
cal ambitions. and just now the dema-
sogues are in the lead.
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Gnd) says: Both the silver and the gold
Democrats are congratulating Mr. Hayes
of Baltimore upon his election as Mayor,
and claiming him as one of themselves.
The inference is either that Mr.. Hayes
is a slick sort of straddler or that the
democrats of Baltimore have gotten over
caring whether Coins financial school
keeps or not.
The PutsourS Dlspatch tRepJ says: 1t
is generally admitted that the conference
at The Hague will find no difficulty in ar
irving at an agreement that China, the
philippines and all of native Africa should
be disarmed."
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem)
says. THE New York Sun wants the
right man for the speakership if 1t takes
all summer In the lexicon of the Sun,
the worst man is the right man."

SWALLOWED :.
The Japanese Tobacco Market Comes
Into the Trust
(Danville Bee.)

Danville Bee3
The report to the effect that the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company had its eye upon
the whole world seems to be confirmed.
Some weeks ago Captain T.. j. Par
IRISH, of Durham, was sent to Yokoho-
ma, Japan, under a salary of $4,000 a
year. and he told friends, we are in
formed that if he succeeded, that sal
AIRY was only a starter.
Saturday the news reached Durham
to the effect that Captain Parrish had
made his deals with the Meuri Tobacco
Company of Japan, and that the Amerl-
can would now control the trade OF
that country. This means that the little
hope exporters have had disappears. or
soon will: that the American proposes
to control the whole tobacco business
of the whole world
And of course. under existing laws,
the American with the start 1t has,
can do what ii wants to do.
1T is said that the dream of the presi-
dent of the American is to control ev-
erything in sight, and the news from
Japan by the way of Durham. Parrish $
former home, seems to confirm the re-
ports which circulated some time ago
to the effect that Buck Duke Sald DeIofe
he got through he would have the to-
bacco trade of the world under his
thumb.
With the foreign market, dominated
by the American, the export trade gets
il in the neck, and the hope of the to-
bacco dealer dwindles away-unless
there is organized ANTITRUST factories,
and the American met on its own
ground before it gobbles up all in sight.
Our informant concerning the Par
IRISH deal said there was no doubt OF
the Japanese deal, and the next deal
will be somewhere else.
They have about got America under
control. 1t is big scheme. Every Gag
arctic fend must have cigarettes, ana
the American Tobacco Company IS gong
to furnish them.
And the question which they present
is: What are you going to do about
it?
