The fact is, as evidenced In those drills,
the British soldiers are over-trained, and
IN one sense become mere machines. This
fauit does not exist at our West Point
Military Academy, nor in the regular
army We do not, as a nation make as
fine show in uniforms and set drills as
some foreign nations, but it is a fact
worthy of note that our soldiers are SUI
per1or to any in the world whether regu-
lars or volunteers. Even the English war
correspondents-men of hong experience
in their line and some noted for brilliant
military achievements themselves-con-
fessed that the charge up San Juan hill
al Santiago, was never equalled in
any previous war in any land
1t is safe to assert also that two
finer armies than the Army of the Potomac
and the Army of Northern Virginia never
marched to battle under any flag the world
over. They were the highest types of the
American soldier. Sidney Herbert.

snapped together on Bouldin's arm with
a grip like steel trap. Bouldln dug the
brute In the left side with his knife time

The next spring the gray wolf made
was for the herder's flank just above the
hip. He missed his hold but cut two
long gashes in the flesh. He got terrible
rip from Bouldin's knife as he came. Then
the man and beast fought furiously. The
wolf would alternately snap at Bouldins
side and then mangle the protecting arm.
Bouldin kept digging at the VOLTS heart
cutting him once down the name
on his neck and once between the
shoulders. Finally the man got in hard
dig that weakened the animal. AT the

Foundations Laid and Rapid Pro-
gress Is Now being Made.
Quitman, Ca, Nov 1S.-The foundations
for the boiler and engine rooms and picker
room for the factory have been laid. The
work on this part of the factory has been
delayed temporarily on account of lack
of material AS soon as the necessary ma
terial can be secured these buildings will
be pushed to completion.
The foundations for the office have been
laid The office will be on the west side
of the main building.
The foundations for nine new tenement
houses are being laid this week. Seven of
these houses will have six rooms and two
ten rooms They will be substantial
dwellings, and will be for the use of the
operatives. AS many, If not more, oper-
atives houses will be built later on.
A large warehouse with a capacity Of
$500 or 5000 bales of cotton will be erect
ed east of the factory. 1t will be some
time, however, before work begins on the
warehouse.
Already a part of the machinery for the
mill has arrived. and more Is expected
in the course of few weeks. AS soon
as the necessary material can be secured
the buildings will be gotten in shape for
the placing of the machinery.
The Plant System has completed its side
track out to the mill, and It Is now ready
for use.
AT a meeting Of the City Council yester-
day afternoon, called for the purpose OF
considering a proposition made by the At
lantic and Gulf Mills. relative to laying a
water main from the water works plant to
the factory a counter proposition was
made the mill officials by the town. The
proposition made by the councilmen was
mai the mill people should put in the
main at their own expense, and the mu-
niclpal taxes on the mill property, sufti-
Gent to cover the cost of the main, would
he refunded to the company from year to
year 1t is moi known yet whether this
proposition will meet the appropatlon Oh
the mill officials or not.

Bouldin encountered the wolf In a hand
to-hand fight. The hide and the gaping
slashes around the heart tell how the bat
tie waged and was won, and Bouldin
mangled arm and several long. gaping
parallel cuts In his left side near the
flank tell how desperately the bandit Of
the plains endeavored TO maintain his
right Of sovereignty.
Bouldn is sheep herder and grazes his
flock near Deer Trail Col. One day last
week he was out, as usual, with the herd,
and about evening as he was grazing
back to the ranch, he saw a huge gray
wolf ganoplng toward the head of the
flock.
Bouldin was armed with only a pocket
knife. He had barely time to jerk The
small-bladed weapon out and open II be-
fore the wolf was upon him. Bouldin held
the knife In his right hand and guarded
his throat and abdomen with his left arm.

Broom Corn Discussed.
valdosta, Ca, Nov 19-The ladies' who
had charge of the woman's department in
the recent exposition here were given
splendid treat yesterday by the Exposition
Company. There were forty of them, the
most prominent women of the city, and
their work for the exposition was of such
an exceptionally high quality that the
company rendered the entire party, with
several prominent gentlemen, a trip to
Jacksonville, a boat ride on the st. Johns,
banquet at the leading hotel there and
a drive to all of the places Of interest
about that city.
The womans department of the exposi-
ton was the GROWING fee ture of the show
and was pronounced by every visitor to
have been the best exhibit of the kind
ever made in the state. The managers of
the exposition thought up some way in
which to show their apprec alton and de-
cided upon the trip to Jacksonville. Presi-
dent T. G. Crawford and Manager A. T.
Moore We're in charge of the crowd and
the day is pronounced one of the most
pleasant ever spent away from home by
those who were In the party.
There is talk of calling a meeting of the
cane growers OF this section to come to-
gether in a convention at Valdosta and try
to arrange some pgln for sugar refinery
to be located at some convenient place in
the cane belt. The discussion that has
gone on for the past few months has st-rrA
ed up great deal of enthusiasm on the
subject and the farmers are anxious to
learn more about cane culture and at the
same time get market for their crop.
Broom corn is also attracting some at
tention, and your correspondent heard
prominent farmer say to-day that he
expected to start small broom factory
on his Place to give employment to hands
when they are not at work out of doors.
The drought here is causing the streams
and wells TO dry up. 1t is said that the
Withlacooche river, four miles from here,
has stopped running, and is dry as a pow
der horn in many places. Nearly all of
the small streams have dried up. The ST.
Mary's river, at Moniac, where it runs
out of the Okefnoke swamp, is also dry.
but another branch of 1t below there is
running, but the stream is very narrow.
There have been all kinds of signs of rain
during the past week or so, but a good
rain has not fallen in over two months.
