A Scene of Butchery.
The Slaughter That Came with the
End of the JanIzaries.

On the 10th day of June; 1926, the
whole corps of the janizaries in the
capital assembled. overturned their
camp kettles (the signal of revolt) and
advanced upon the seraglio, With his
own hand the sultan unfurled the
sacred "sanjak sheriff and called upon
the true believers to rally round their
dischah and caliph. and the Jealous
Mussulman citizens rushed from all
quarters and rallied under the sacred
symbol The ranks of the janizaries
were raked with grape and solid shot
by ''Black He'll Ga nickname for Ibra-
him. general of artillery and his gun
ners as they pressed through the streets,
compelling them to fall back to the
Etmeidan. where they defended them
selves with extraordinary ferceness,
Staying great numbers of their assail-
ants. The artillery, supported by the
marines and the bostangi, pressed for
ward and compelled them to retreat tc
their barracks. where they offered des-
perate resistance to the assault
From every street cannon Numbered
on the walls without intermission, the
building was soon in flames, the walls
torn and battered down by grapeshot,
and the janizaries, overwhelmed by
ruins, shot and flames. persisted in their
burning and blood stained barracks
For two days the gates of the city re-
manned closed. and with relentless vigor
every corner was searched for such
janizaries as had escaped the general
massacre. and when found they were
hastily executed Nearly 90, 900 jani-
zaries were destroyed ON this memora-

The Flag OF Stars.

Oh, not alone the eager south
Alone the steadfast north
Saw with wet eyes beneath spring skies
Our flag of stars go forth!
Oh, not alone the elder east,
Nor the young hearted west,
Smiled high with pride where side by side
The nations children pressed!
But north and south and east and west
The mountain and the plain.
The prairie and the desert
Yielded their flower again.
East and west and south and north
The flower of the land,
Hearing the mothers call, went forth
To stand at her right hand
We be many hands in labor,
But one arm for the right;
One blood TO shed, one heart till dead
One good sword for the fight;
We be many tongued and minded
But one mind and one tongue
When once wide sent through a continent
The nations word has rungl
Then northern tongues sing Dixie
Beneath the ancient flag,
And the southerner dies to rebaptize
His own the Yankee ragl"
Brothers-to keep for freedoms sake
The flag of stars unfurled
Beneath the stars of heaven-to make
The starlight of the worldl

CarnegIe,s Advice to Young Men.

1. Never enter barroOm, nor let the
contents of a barroom enter you.
2. Do not use tobacco.
8. Concentrate. Having entered upon
a certain line of work, continue and COM
bine upon that line.
4. Do not shirk; rather go beyond
your task. Do not let any young man
think he has performed his whole duty
when he has performed the work assigned.
A man will never rise If he acts thus.
Promotion comes from exceptional work.
A man must discover where his employers
interests lie and push for these The
young man who does this is the young
man whom Capital wants for partner
and son-in-law. He is the young man
who by and by reaches the head of the
firm.
5. Save a little always. Whatever
your wages are, lay by something from
them.
9. Never speculate. Never buy stocks
or grain on margin.
7. Never indorse When you enter in
business for yourself never indorse for
others. 1t is dishonest. All Your re-
sources and all your credit are the sacred
property of the men who have trusted you.
If you wish 10 help another, give him all
the cash you can spare; never indorse. 1t
is dishonest.

kindred stock.

the fresh fish market this week. There
have been landed here 1913 of these bulky
warriors of the deep, and prices on

the supply was most abundant 5@6c lb

Of the blighting and rotting of potatoes
was due to one and the same cause, but
Investigations at the Vermont expert
ment station during the past decade
have shown that there are several
causes which may act separately or in
combination to bring about the destruc-
ton of the potato crop. If the injury
leads to the death of the leaves it is
called a blight; if it destroys the tubers
1t is termed a rot. There are at least
five kinds of blight and two kinds of rot
against which the potato grower must
guard-and in addition the potato scab.
These are described for our readers
by Professor Jones of the experiment
station, so as to enable any farmer to
know which diseases he has to deal with.
They usually occur in the order here
given:
CD. Arsenical poisoning. Due to ex-
cessive application of paris green. Com
monty causes brown or black burned
spots on the leaves. These may not APP
pear until several days after the poison
is applied. There is much more injury
from this cause than is generally sup
posed, and sometimes the plants are
killed outright. Remedy: Apply paris
green in more dilute form and more uni
formly.
(2). Early blight. This is a fungus
disease which causes spots much like
those caused by the paris green. 1t may
cause complete destruction of the tops.
1t never produces rot, however. Rem
edy: Spray with bordeaux mixture.
(S). Late blight and rot. Every Yer
mont farmer knows and breads this old
enemy. 1t requires warm. rainy or
''muggy'' weather for its development,
but under favorable conditions will
sweep over a field and destroy every
plant in few days. 1t is a fungus. The
same fungus causes both the late blight
and the rot. Remedy: Bordeaux mix

ventive and will fully protect the CROP

been shown by nine years experience a

az. Tip-burn. 1t is very common, es-
pecially in dry seasons or when hot, dry
weather follows a wet period, for the
leaves to burn" especially at the tips
and margins. This trouble is worse
when the leaves are badly eaten by in.
sects. Remedy: Attention to prope
cultivation, and spraying with bordeaux

not to preside over district courts. The
existing system is preserved, however,
by which district Judges may be re-
quired to serve in districts other than
tneir own, in the same circuit, by or
der of the circuit Judge, and in other
circuits by order of q Justice of the
supreme court.
The question will suggest itself
whether this provision will prove ade-
quate to insure the prompt disposal OF
business in all of the districts. La this
connection the number of cases In
bankruptcy becomes factor. 1t Is not
improbable that it will be found nee
essary to provide for the appointment
of additional judges for the more popu-
lous districts. To aid in the determln-
alton of this question, the commission
ers are preparing q taoulated state
ment of the number of cases brought
in the several judicial districts. The
most fragrant inequality will be found
between the several circuits. The
eighth circuit Is notably excessive In
area, population and judicial business.
CODE REVISION NECESSARY.
1.-THE changes recommended by the
commission will presumably elicit dif-
ferences of opinion, which 1t will de-
volve upon congress to settle. Aside
from til EN-, the need of q revision and
codification of the laws concerning the
federal judiciary is abundant and ur-
gent. Since the enc ctment of the re-
vised statutes in 1874, congress has
passed the act of 1875, which intro
duced radical changes, the acts of 1887
and 1888, and the act of 1891, relieving
the supreme court by the organization
of the circuit courts of appeals. The
confusion that consequently exists in
the statutes is condition that should
no longer be tolerated.
1.-THE same is true respecting m alters
of detail. In some states the Judicial
districts are subdivided into divisions
for the purpose of b ,lding terms, the
return of process, etc. From time to
time, congress has shifted counties
from one division to another, or from
one district to another, and these pro-
| visions are IS apt to be found in appro-
pristion bills as anywhere else. 1t re-
| quired the diligent labor of the COM
| missioners for one week to fix the lines
of districts and divisions in single
state. In smother state, three coun-
| ties were found to be partly in one
| judicial district and partly in another.
| In other respects the laws are deplora-
| bly, lacking in cohesiveness and sym

Tribune,

One of the most picturesque and de-
liehtful sections of North Carolina is
what is known as the Sapphire country.
This section is located near Brevard
N c., at an average altitude of 5000
foot, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand water falls.
OF the many attractive features, per-
hsps among the most Interesting and
pictur esque points are Fairfield and
Sapphire Lakes. No where else in the
south at this altitude are there such
bodies of water. There are towering
cliffs, rising abruptly for a thousand
foot from their shores, and cascades of
rare beauty falling directly into the
lakes from the lofty table land sur
rounding.
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy, and parti-
cularly adapted to those troubled with
hay-faver, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of SO de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and The
Lodge, afford excellent acc )mmodatioDs
for guests.
For fun Their information regarding
the Sapphire country, call on any
agent of the Southern Railway, or

THE principle of "Monroeism" is as
firmly planted in the hearts and minds
OF Americans rs is that OF independ-
ence. Monroeism means that no Euro
pean nation shall ever acquire foot
hold on the western continent. The
action in Cuba was not taken under the
Monroe doctrine, but that in Nicara-
qua and to some extent that in Vene-
zuela were. 1t is reasonable
policy for our own protection, and no
European nation can have any honest
motive in antagonizing it. The French
newspaper that talks so Rlibly oil

west, to no avail. In this section the
