1t leaked out last week at re-
publican headquarters that their
poll of Indiana just completed
gives Bryan $4,000 majority.
The change is found in the gas
belt where manufacturing plants
were shut down and thousands
of people thrown out of employ
ment. This is due to the opera
ton of trusts in that section OF
the state.
This revelation threw the re-
publican leaders into state OF
frenzy and CONSERVATION. Hanna
has decided to remain in the east.

there is some one whose life has
been saved by Chamberlain S

of chronic diarrhoea by the use

The Best I'm the world.


We believe Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy is the best in the
world. A few weeks ago we suf-
fered with a severe cold and a
troublesome cough, and having
read their advertisements in our
own and other papers we pur-
chased a bottle to see if it would
effect us. 1t cured us before the
bottle was more than half used.
1t is the best medicine out foi

Heaven help the selfish girl when she

1t is very seldom that a woman is
allowed to be selfish after she becomes
wife and mother. But if it happens
that she should retain this amiable (?)
quality after she is married, what a
delightful companion she would
make through life! How nobly she
would bear her share of the trials
that beset the matrimonial bark, and
how patiently she would bear all the
troubles that children bring them.
No; depend upon it, selfish girls had
better steer clear of matrimony.
Those who possess this very common
trait in their character should strive
to the utmost Of their power to resist
all selfish impulses, and eudeavor by
acts OF Selfdenial to overcome this
most wretched feature in their exis-

Negroes Looking to Deportation.

The negroes in Sussex county
are considerably stirred over the
prospects of change in the
Constitution of the State. In a
section of the country, about thirty
miles from Petersburg, there is quite
a negro settlement. The settlers
have fully discussed among them
selves what the proposed change
would mean to them, and they unan-
imously agree that if there is new
Constitution they will be sent be-
yond the boundaries of the State, and
possibly to some of Americas new
possessions.
Many are making preparations for
whatever change may be brought
about.
Some are disposing of their per-
sonal effects and real estate, and
Others visiting the members of their
family to bid them a last farewell
lest when they are transferred TO other
lands they may not meet again.
One woman, formerly owned by
Petersburg family, was here this
week. After seeing all her friends
in Petersburg she went to North
Carolina for the purpose of seeing
her relatives again before she sails.
No amount of persuasion can dispel
the illusion of these people.

CHINA AND AMERICA.

The Chinese minister in Washing
ton, Wu Ting Fang, contributes to
the North American Review an
interesting paper on "Mutual
Helpfulness between China and the
United States" He begins by quot
ing from Confucius the saying that
"Reciprocity might serve as guild
ing principle through life" and ap-
plies that term to the relationship
which should exist between the Unied
States and China. lie proceeds to
show that the capacity of the Amer
ican people to produce is now greater
than their capacity to consume, and
that they must have a market for
their surplus products. To make a
long story short, he believes that
China is the field which the United
States should above all other fields
cultivate. To give an idea of the
vast extent of that country, he points
out that China in extent of territory
and density of population exceeds the
whole of Europe. $40 be more ex-
act" he says, "the province of Szech-
men can muster more able bodied
men than the German Empire. The
province of Shantung can boast of
as many native born sons as France.
Scatter all the inhabitants of Costa
Rica or Nicaragua in Canton and they
would be completely lost in that city's
surging throngs. Transport all the
people of Chill into China and they
would only fill city of the first
class"

DRIED OYSTERS.

leans bohemian, 81 dropped in to see
my friend, Lee Zip, who keeps what
he calls a 'glocely stol,' which is as
near as he can come to grocery store
He gave me an excellent cigar and
presently he said: You likee dly os.
tel?' 'What in the name of Con-
fucius is dly ostel?' l asked be.
fore i realized that he was talking
about dried oysters. 'Come. show,
he replied; and opening the lid of q
big box he took out a handful OF
what looked exactly like oysters
carved in mahogany. They were
not shriveled and warped, like other
dried foods, but were as plump and
symmetrical as any we'll conditioned

The only difference was that they
were dark brown in color and rs hard
as bricks. When Lee Zip tossed
them back into the box they ratified
like a handful of marbles. Of course

left took pains to find out all about
them. The oysters are caught and
prepared at the big native shrimper-
les on the other side of the lake.
The process is a trade secret, but as
could gather from Lee, they are
spread on the tops of large sheds and
exposed to the sun for several weeks.

Grafton as sweet and brown as nuts.
Last night l tried some by special
Invitation in the back of laundry
run by another Mongolian friend of
mine. They were brought in in a
bowl and formed sort of stew or
saute, which was really delicious.
The oysters themselves were firm but
exceedingly tender, and had q pecu-
liar peppery flavor, different from any
thing else / have ever tasted. The
Chinaman who did the cooking told
me he had simply boiled the dried oys-
ters In water and added a small strip
of pork and seasoning When /
tried to probe into the seasoning fea-
ture he suddenly lost command of

large quantities of them are sold in

HOW TO DESTROY RED ANTS.

Large numbers of the workers
may be trapped and destroyed by the
use OF sponge saturated with sweet
ened water. Sugar is especially at
tractive to this insect. They will
gather in thousands on the sponge,
and can be destroyed by dipping in
hot water. BY continuing this oper-
alton at frequent intervals for few
days countless numbers of the work
ers are destroyed, and it is said that
the sudden lessening of their num-
bers creates such panic among the
ants that they often abandon not
only their nests, but the entire prem
ises.
