In preparation for the Legislature the
State House elevator has been thor
oughly overhauled at an expense of
about $500, entirely new cables having
been put in and Il new safety cable
attached. 1t IS not generally known
what an amount of inspecting and
overhauling the elevator undergoes in
year. If il was there would be no
fear from the most timid of the car
shooting up through the dome or
crashing into the basement and other
horrible things which people viii i'm
agine.
To begin with the elevator is thor
oughly inspected, every Saturday, by
William L. Thompson who is in charge
of the work, and it is also inspected
every month, and thoroughly over
hauled by Frank l. Clark. the Augusta
naChinist. 1t would seem that this is
enough inspecting even for the most
particular, but no, the elevator is in
sured in the Casualty Insurance Co.,
of New York for $4,000, and the COM
pany's agent makes an inspection once
in every three months.
If an accident should happen where
by any person was injured on the ele-
Nator, that person would receive a
share of the insurance money, but the
Likelihood of any such catastrophy is
exceedingly remote owing to the great
precautions taken by those in charge.

and three times externally. by the

The Boer War is Expensive.

London, Nov. 16.-Prelimi,
nary treasury estimates indicate
that parliament must vote $3.50,
100000 to continue the South
African war until January l and
then 500, 100000 more to end
the war.
This makes the cost of con,
queriug each burgher $4,000.
In proportion to the number
of the enemy, the Boer war has
been the most expensive in
history.
1t is estimated that the Boer
fighting force numbered $4,000.
At $4,000 per mau the total of
the war would amount to $500. =
100000.

Cotton FiberS.

A firm in Lyons, France,
takes advantage of the shorten
ing of cotton tibers under non
comerahan treatment by caustic
potash to produce in silk webs
certain peculiar and every rich
embossed effects. The silken
webs have cotton threads at
fixed distances, which, when
the chemical solution is applied
shrink, while the silk, keeping
it's original length. is gathered
in tiny folds. In this way the
most diversified patterns are
produced.

To Acquire A Good Vocabulary

10 Acquire A Good Vocabulary
"A good vocabulary by reading
good books, as we'll as by hear
ing the talk of those who
express themselves in the
speech of educated people,"
writes Margaret E. Sangster.
in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Thought lies back of speech,
and the more subjects interest
us the more command of langu.
age We shall have in which to
describe them. They who read
scientific books will have a
grasp of scientific terms They
who discriminate nicely and
use the very best word to say
what they have in their minds
will consult a dictionary and
see what are the similaritieS or
the contrasts of certain words;
will choose, as among gems the
hawless ruby or crystal; will
not be satisfied except with the
exact word which can express
precisely the meaning they
wish to convey. The reading
of good authors lifts our vo.
cabulaIy from meanness and
meagerness to nobility and,
splendor, enriches our speech
with words which are like a
beautiful embroidery on
the garment of daily lite,
and furnishes us with illusions,
quotations snd phrases which
are picturesque, opposite or
convenient for illustration"

The 43rd Annual meeting OF
the State Society will find some
of the best fruit growers gather
ing in the southwestern part of
the state to again discuss our
fruit interests,
We need, if possible, more
than ever the combined wisdom
of all to help solve some OF the
questions of today. The
orchard, how best to grow,
prune, cultivate and fertilize;
the best plan of spraying; the
study of the root rot; the great
loss of apples By the bitter rot;
the cold storage problem will
all give us enough to think or
study about.
These are only a few of the
questions on the program
Study the program and if you
have any practical thoughts
you can give US on any of these
topics feel free to do so; you
may be sure they will be appre-
ciated. If you cannot come
write them out and send them

New apples will be gladly
recognized provided a history
of the apple is given in connec-
ton. Apples for Identification
will be named if possible.
Most of the railroads give us
a half rate and hence we expect
a large attendance.
Premiums will be given on all
apples shown and the fruit will
then be backed for the Buffal o
