started out to tell was that Mr..
L. ST. John has joined the people in
holding picnics all along the Seaboard
Air Line. He is combining work
with pleasure. The plan is certainly
unique and no doubt it will prove as
successful as his many other under
takings. We can't tell exactly what
is to be done at these picnic gather
ingk. The printed matter sent out
giving the day and date are ingen-
iolsly worded, just enough to give the
readers a sharp interest and no more,
leaving them in just that frame of
mind that they are drawn on to see
what the end is to be-. The first of
these series of pic-nics is to be with

represented, and our readers shall

Joins With the People in a Series of
Picnics all Along the Line.
There is no wonder the great West
was rapidly developed and that it
was possible for a Chicago to spring
into existence as if by magic, when
such men as Mr.. e. ST. John were at
the head, and we of this section of the
South have much cause for rejoicing
at his coming among us. He has
only been with the Seaboard Air Line
few years, and he had great many
waste and worn parts to develop,
but he has been equal to the task and
year by year and almost day by day,
he has brought forward something
new. 1t has seemed from time to
time that he had certainly exhausted
his plans and schemes for develop
ment, but we begin to think there is
no end to his ways and means. His
plan to help the farmers improve their
breed of cattle was novel and new.
No other person would have thought
of such scheme. The experimental
farm work has gone forward and de-
veloped year by year until it is at
tracing the attention of people from
all over the country. Just recently
the United States Agricultural De-
partment sent down the chief of the
Experimental Farm Division and he
was very much surprised to find so
much work had been done in so shor'
"a time. The Training School on
Wheels, concerning which the News
and Observer at the time had much
to say, was a great success. and the
good seeds sown have yielded much
fruit.

THE TRANSVAAL WARNED.
1t Must Observe Both Letter and
Spirit of London Convention.

London. May 5.-The Outlook, in
this weeks issue, published a special
dispatch from its Cape Town CORE
spondent in which it is stated that
the British Secretary of State for the
Colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, has
dispatched a firmly worded demand
upon the Transvaal Republic that it
must observe its obligations to the
Queen as the paramount power by Sc
curing peace and order within the Re-
public. This demand, the dispatch
says. is supplementary to the demand
for the cancellation of the dynamite
concession. and is taken to mean that
the British Government deems that
the time has come to invite President
Kruger to observe the letter as well
as the spirit of the London convcn-
ton.
PRESIDENT KRUGER'S REPLY.
Cape Town, May 5.-The reply of
President Kruger, of the Transvaal
Republic to the demand from the
British Secretary of State for the
Colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, for
the cancellation of the dynamite con-
cession, is published here to-day.
President Kruger contends that the
concession is bona fde, and consti-
tutes no breach of the London con
vention. The Transvaal, President
Kruger insists, is entitled to its opin-
ion as to what is for the best inter
ests of the Republic. The amendment
of the concession as asked by the
British Government, the President
adds. would be a breach of faith with
regard to other parties.
