Felt at Washington that Any Foreign
Power will Heed the Address Of
AguinaIdO.
WASHINGTON, Aug s.-The state
department is entirely without informa-
ton as to any address by Agutnaldo TO
foreign powers for the recognition Of
the FllIplnos either as belligerents or
as constituting an independent govern
ment. The appeal is looked upon, how
ever, us creating no particular change
as It has been the desire OF Aguinaldo
and his associates from the first to Sc
cure such recognition. The appeal puts
this desire into rather formal shape,
and It may bring to an issue the ntti-
tude OF outside governments. There Is
no apprehension, however. that any for
eign government will heed the address.
The international usage as to recogni-
tlon was quite fully developed during
the Cuban insurrection nt which time
the question was eXhnustively discuss
ed in Congress and was the subject Of
lengthy consideration In the messages
OF the President. The general view at
that time was that recognition of bel
llgerency was not in itself Il casus belli.
Up to the present time there has been
no lntImatlon to the state department
that any foreign power entertained
even the remotest Idea OF giving recog-
milton to Agulnaldo and his associates.
On the contrary there has been the most
friendly feeling maintained between
this government and foreign powers
throughout the Philippine conflict
The state department does not share
the apprehension which Is said to have
arisen among army officers that China
has given indirect recognition to the
FilIpInos. This apprehension grew out
OF a report from General Otis that
horses could not be secured for cavalry
use from China because they Were "con-
traband Of war" At the state depart
ment It is said that the matter has not
assumed a form involving the recognl-
tlon of u state OF war, but that Minister
Conger reports that Chlna's course IL
due entirely to certain domestic regula-
tons prohibiting the expectation of
horses or ponies,

CHESHIR u.

Nov. 28-Mrs Elizabeth P. Atwater,
who with her daughter, Mrs. c. c.
Lord went to Mountain Retreat N. c.,
several weeks ago to spend the winter,
died last Saturday of pneumonia at
the home of her son-in-law, G. G. Lord.
Her remains were brought here Mon
day evening. Her funeral will take
place Wednesday afternoon at 1870 at
her late residence here, and her pastor,
Rev. j. p. Hoyt, will conduct the SER
vices
Miss j. A. Humiston is having built
granite vault in the bank Of the East
Side cemetery for the reception of the
dead temporarily. This is something
that ought to have been done years ago.
1t Is something that will, by those who
live out of town, be appreciated who
have friends brought here for burial, es-
pecially in winter. Our citizens should
vote their thanks to Miss Humiston for
her generosity to our town. This is one
of the many things she has done for the
town.
A little over week ago last night a
little French girl came into the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Theron French. AS Mr..
and Mrs. French do not speak French
they will be under the necessity of
learning the little one to talk English.
Mr.. French was so well pleased with
the little one that he passed around the
cigars to a few of his friends.

KAFFIR TELEGRAPHY.

Their Mysterious Transmission Of News
Over Long Distances.
The battle of Majuba Hill was fought
on February 27, 1881 Pietermaritzbure
is as nearly as possible $50 miles from
Majuba Yet the native servants of
officers quartered in that garrison town
heard the news of the battle and told
their masters of the result within ten
hours and long before and official tele-
graphic Indignation came through.
Again, the total defeat of the Zulus
at Ulundi in 1879 was heard of by the
natives at distance of go miles with
In twelve hours. Httg
How Is it done? l9i
Many explanations have been offered,
but none of them are entirely satjsfac-
tory. Perhaps the most plausible ex-
PLANTATION for the rapid transmission Of
news is the following The various Kaffir
languages particularly that spoken by
the Zulus have very many broad, open
vowels. The "a" is pronounced as in
father. Such words as 'anlba gashle'
| Ego corefully), "Ikona MALI (no money!
| "hamba kaya" ego home), are all words
that carry far. The natives are said to
shout to one another from hilltop to
hilltop and these long drawn out VOW
els can be heard for immense distances
The extremely rarified air of the high
veldt also helps the sound to travel; and
chain Of natives being arranged, one
on each hilltop four Or five miles apart,
the message flies from one to another
with amazing rapidity
Another explanation, which seems
less likely although many old residents
among the natives declare that 1t is true,
Is the tapping Of an outcrop of IRON
stone or other magnetic material with
succession of light blows, after the man
ner Of the Morse alphabet. These, 1t ie
said, can be heard along the whole
length of the outcrop, even If the reef
dives underground for miles and then
reappears on the surface. The recipient
places his ear on the stone and receives
the impression of the taps over dis
lance Of many miles.
Where there Is a stream of running
water 1t Is known to be possible to con-
vey sounds along the surface over a
considerable length thereof. But this
would hardly be applicable to the South
African natives methods, as the
SlT6dTIlb through lIlG Nelut now only IOT
a few months in the summer, and then
only intermittently, after thunder
storms; for the rest Of the year they
are practically dry beds of sand and
rock.
Whatever their method may be, 1t has
been proved over and over again that
natives get news of any great event
accurately and succinctly, long
before itNs flashed across the telegraph
ic wires-London Mail

PLEASURE EXPRESSED
At the Present Status and Future
Outlook of the Seaboard Air Line
Under the New Order of Things.

The article published in the GOLD
LEAF last week from the Manufactur-
ers' Record giving an interview with
Mr.. John SHELTON Williams in regard
to the future of the Seaboard Air
Line, which the syndicate headed by
him has recently acquired control Of,
was read with interest and pleasure
by friends and we'll wishers of the
road. There is much satisfaction at
the status of affairs as far as known
to the public and confidence is ex-
pressed in the plans and purposes
of those into whose hands the control
Of this vast system has just been
transferred as outlined by Mr.. Will
liams.
1t is gratifying to know that the
Seaboard is to continue to be oper-
ated as an independent and Compel
ing line and that the same liberal
and progressive policy which has
characterized its management here
tofore will be maintained. In this
connection the closing part Of Mr..
Williams interview is worthy of re-
production. He says:
Under the able management of Mr..
Holman and Mr.. st. John, the Seaboard
has been potent factor in the develop
ment OF the South. The policy OF de-
veIopment will be pursued with vigOr,
and the people along the line may be
assured that there will be no backward
step. 1t will be the aim of those who
have now come into this system to give
every possible aid and encouragement to
the extension Of commercial interests at
the sesboard, to the growth of manu-
featuring along the entire system, to
the diversifcation of agriculture, and to
the most intelligent work OF drawing
population and new capita; into this
territory. We recognize the mutually
in interest-that the prosperity OF the
road depends upon the prosperity of the
country-and with that in view we shall
work for the advancement of the whole
country which is tributary to our lines.
1.-The South has made wonderful prog
ress, but what it has accomplished is
only the beginning. Its growth in the
next few years will, am sure, be great
than that of any period in the past, and
in this progress we expect to see the Sea-
board do it's full duty to the country
and reap the full benefit of increased
business.
II may add" said Mr.. Williams in
closing, chat our policy lie to maintain
the Seaboard as an absolutely independ-
ent line, and there need be no fear as to
any absorption by any other system.
1t will be abundantly able to take care
OF itself and to play leading part in
every good work for the advancement OF
the South, and we hope not only to
retain all the friendly interests given to
its former management. but to still fur
taer strengthen it's hold upon the good
will Of the people,"

The Right Remedy Will
Danish 1t Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff.
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is q disordered state OF
the blood, and the only cure for it is q
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific IS
S. 81 goes down to the very bottom OF
all diseases of the blood and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.

nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, KY.

The Men Who Advertise,

The men who advertise are entitled
to patronage upon other grounds than
the mere fact of asking for it. Look
over the advertising columns of your
local paper and you will find the
names most prominent there displayed
are those of the live, wide-awake,
public spirited, liberal minded and
progressive business men of the COM
munity. AS a rule the advertisers
are the men who support your schools,
help promote public enterprises,
build your churches, help pay your
pastors salary, and pay the taxes
that support the town government
And doing all this we say they are
not only deserving of your patronage
but are entitled to it, and you are
catering to your own interests when
you deal with them.
