GRAPHING THE AIR.

The efforts of the new paper to divert
attention from the fact that Ii was
caught and exposed by one of its own
friends in taking an interview are
strenuous but futile. In, yesterdays
issue the Republican makes a hysteri-
cal effort to convict the Advertiser of
misstatsment and offers the following
alleged proofs. We cherish the hope,
In the interests of justice that such

value I'm the Circuit Court however it
may impress a very parochial newspa-

Here Is the terrible indictment as II
stands. the paragraphs quoted coming
from these columns:
1.-THE advertiser had the only report of
Mr.. McClanahan's speech and 1t came

''As Is our usual custom the Advertiser
took all the speeches in shorthand that
IL did not get in manuscript, the whole
making an accurate and thorough account
OF the banquet proceedings"
Take your choice. In which paragraph
does the Advertiser lie?
II the lay eye can detect any contra
diction in these paragraphs 1t must
have extra microscopic power. The
first one says that Mr.. McClanahan's
speech was taken without alteration
from his manuscript, which is true.
The second one states that this paper
took all the speeches In shorthand

First Witch-By the pricking of my

Enter a National Committeeman, a.

National Commltteemen-when shall
we three meet again? In thunder,
lightning or in rain? Unless my Gears
most groundless be, rather guess
twill be all three.
Witches-Hully Gee,
Judge-Fear naught fair friend, for

divers citizens whom we must slay.
National Committeeman-Slay

we Will. We want Browns scalp be-

police to do our say. With the police

every precinct with a rush: and mis-
sionaries when they come to vote will
be run In or made to ride the goat.
Committeeman and Editor-Observe

Judge-Aye. gaze well at 1t till your
eyes are fed; and then, mayhap when
they are comforted, I'll let you put your
hands upon its bumps which swell in
places like a bunch Of mumps.

fixing Jury lists, will draw the names

take Its orders from our own machine,
well raise such scandal and In tones so
loud that not a member OF the old Dole

Who owns the Grand Jury, the
courts or the people? Who takes the
Initiative in Grand Jury Investigations,
the Jury itself or a court? Is a Grand
Jury to be blind TO offences against the
common welfare because they occur on
the blind side of a magistrate or affect
some magistrates friends? Or is a
Grand Jury constituted for the pur-
pose. as Judge Humphreys said In his
first charge. of investigating ANY con-
dition prevailing or alleged to prevail
In this community Of which 1t may
have individual knowledge or which
may be brought to its attention.
These are questions that are pressing
hard for an answer.

INSECT.EATlNG PLANTS.

Some years ago the Advertiser call
ed attention to the value, in a country
so mosquito ridden as this one, of in
sect-eating plants such as grow, in
their wild state, in Carolina and south
erin Florida and amidst the swamps Of
Central and South America, Europe and
Africa. An account we published OF
the so-called "bar-room plant" Of Flor
ida caused considerable interest but
nothing was done, so far as we are
aware, for it's importation. The bar
room plant grows where mosquitoes
are most plentiful and it contains,
deep in the throat of an orchid-like
flower which, under the light of the
moon, reflects faint red glow, sweet
liquid which insects fly into, never TO
emerge. All night long the 'bar room
Is open for business; 1t has a steady
custom and in the morning the drink
ing population of the insect world is
measurably less.
A recent issue of that valuable pc
riodical. the Literary Digest, has an
illustrated account of carnivorous
plants which shows that there are sew
en- varieties to select from. These are
known, scientifically, as the Utricula-
ria vulgaris; Pinguicula vulgaris; Dro-
sera rotundifolio; Cephalotus follicula-
ris; Sarracenia purpurea; Pitcher of
Nepenthes; Dionaea muscipula. Some
of them are very ornamental though all
grow In damp and shady places. The
classic type Of these vegetables carni-

France the family Is represented by
the Drosera which secretes a viscid

Doubtless nature, following out its
automatic law of checks and balances
would have provided Hawaii with in
sect-eating plants IL mosquitoes and
the like had been a part of our original
furnishings. But mosquitoes and most
other insects were unknown here until
the white man brought them; and as
he did not bring their natural enemies

Hopeful as to Results.

Witham, the Georgia banker, and his
party of cashiers and pretty girls, left
New York for the South the last of the
week. There have been no marriages
as a result of the trip, although 1t is
understood that matrimony was one of
the objects of the junket. There is the
satisfaction of knowing that seven en-
gagements have been made, however,
and doubtless the weddings will take
place in Georgia in due time

Each May Cook for Himself.

A silver egg steamer. which can be
operated on the breakfast table, is ex-
hibited in New York window. 1t has
a double boiler and an alcohol lamp,
and is a handsome article of table gar
niture. There are so many different
opinions as to how long an egg should
be cooked that this invention has been
made to enable each member of a fam
lily to cook his eggs himself and for just
as long or short a time as he pleases.

A DECIDED SUCCESS.

Young Brothers held their annual
picnic Saturday at Caledonia Grove,
with about 100 people in attendance.
Sports of every description were in
dulged in by young an old until after
noon when lull came over everything
by the heavy rain, but everybody en-
ioyed themselves nevertheless. The
principal feature of the day was the
base bali game, which was made up of
two mines picked on the field by Ar
thur Young and George Penn. When
the rain came on three innings had
been played with the result that Ar
thur Young's team came out ahead,
but it was too wet to finish. With a
little training there is the markings of
a nine that can whip any stoneshed
nine in town.
Alex Young and George Penn beat
all hands at quoits. A pail and po-
tato race was won by l. Gumlaw. A
100 yards dash was won by Tom Ness.
Electric cars took the crowd down to
the grove at 9.45 a. M, returning
with Slightly wet but still well
pleased crowd of people at O'Clock.
The success of the affair is due in no
small degree to the committee, which
were J.Neale, A. Williamson, L. Muir
ply, j. Reid, A. Guthrie.
