Control of thu Pacific.

"wen, I think that outside of the
value of these islands as commercial
factors in themselves, there is also to
be considered their value in connec-
tion with getting control Of the vast
trade of the Pacific and of China and
Asia in general. Through the Philip
pines we have a great commercial en-
porium, and we have the naval and
strategic points that give US an excel
lent and almost unparalleled oppor-
tunity to control Asiatic trade and
safeguard and protect 1t from harm.
We have an Army and Navy there
now. and a base of supplies, three
factors in controlling commerce when
you want commerce. BY the ratifica-
tion of the Treaty of Paris the islands
are n part OF territory belonging to the
United States.
There is not the slightest chance of
our parting with the islands If we
decide 10 keep them. If we take things
just as they are to-day. and pursue
the right policy In dealing with them.
we can make these islands a source of
incalculable value TO us-make then,
contribute TO the national welfare, as
well as their own"

DIED, at the residence of his
daughter Mrs. John Pierce, at
Lulaville, Ga, on the End met,
Mr.. BENAJo RAMBo, in the S2ad
year of his age.
Mr.. Rambo was a model citizen,
far above the average in intelli-
gence, industry, good husbandrs
and public spirit. He always in
culcated sound precepts and set
worthy examples, Yet he attended
strictly to his own business-Dever
having been guilty Of a dishonest
or dlshonorable action during his
long life of more than four score
years. No more devoted son or
brother ever lived. While yet a
young man be both supported and
nursed his feeble old mother
through lingering illness of
many years, as though she were
the child and he the parent; and
he also worked hard to educate
three younger brothers; of whom
DR.. John Rambo migrated in early
life to Southwest Georgia, another
brother, William, to Alabama,
where they have left large families
of successful sons and grand-sons.
Such men as Benaju Ran,bo always
leave the world better than they
found it, and his posterity have a
bright example to initiate.

4 GtlOdAcc0ldilg to Nature

The experiments Of modern ply
sicians and scientists have
established the fact that many ot
the germs of disease enter the body
by the inhalation of air laden with
bacteria or microbes. These germs
are very small but their work is
deadly. Still many of them are
comparatively harmless in health ;
but as soon as an organ is diseased
it is attacked. The experimets
of Koch and others have shed much
lightsupon this important subject
But up to the present time the
culture Of bacteria appears to have
met with much better success than
thei destruction. AS we can do
80 little to destroy these minute
enemies, is not the most sensible
course to strengthen and revitalize
the system 30 that it may repel
and resiet their destructive in
huence, and does it not seem very
fitting that the revitalizing element
should enter the body through
inha' alton of oxygen which is at
once a revitalizer and germicide?
The experience of years. and the
testimony Of thousands show
Compound Oxygen to be the agent
needed.

Cyclone in Abbevil1e,

Abbeville, S. c., Jan. 3-Last
night about 9 o'clock a cyclone
struck the upper part of the town
and almost reached the house OF
Capt. B. G.. Sprott. His barn and
outhcuses were completely wreck.
I'd. Several tenant houses on Aug
W. Smiths place were completely
wreced. A wagon body was blown
from Captain Sprott's lot and was
driven through the gable OF W. A.
Calvert's house, fully a hundred
yards from the path of the cyclone.
Mrs. Gassard's house, between
Sprott's and Calvert's, was also
damaged.
About two miles from town the
cyclone struck P. A. Roche's and
blew down all the tenant houses
on his place and his stove room
and barn. He had two mules
killed and two more badly injured.
Many small Negro cabins were
carried away on the road from
Abbeville to Long. Cane church.
