THE BoERS.

Some time ago the British dis
patches announced to the world
that General Botha, commander
| in chief of the Boer army, had
surrendered. Following up this
report soon after came the report
that General Botha while he had
not fully surrendered, he was at
that time arranging terms Of sur
Irender with General Kitchener.
Contradichng all this at last
comes the statement that General
Botha has rejected the British
peace terms. This again sets all
England to guessing. They are
again brought face to face with
the fact that the end of the war
in South Africa is not yetin sight.
The Beers are still undaunted
and defy the British army.
1t is reported by those who are
posted on the Boer situatian that
the war can be continued indefi-
nitely. They have plenty Of am
munition, guns, provisions, horses
and money. The Boer opposition
is now war of revenge on the
British. After the fall Of Pretoria
many of the Beers surrendered,
but upon returning to their former
happy homes and families they
found nothing but desolation and
ruin. Their homes and farms
had been burned down and de-
stroyed and their wives and chill
dren gone, they knew not where.
From that day the Beers heart
was hardened against the British,
and he again turned to the scene
Of war resolved to fight until ab-
solute independence was secured
or his race exterminated, This is
Briton's task. She has set her
self to exterminate a brave, Cod
fearing, liberty loving people,
and that too to satisfy her greed
for gold. May the God of battles
yet make bare his arm and save
the cause Ct that brave people!

The Baltimore Manufacturers

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record reports; "In Arkansas
the saw mills are in full operation,
paralleling the activity in the
bauxite fields near Little Rock
and in the coal fields in the wesr-
ern part of the state, all rejecting
the prosperity shown also in an
increase during the year of 80
per cent in bank clearings and 60
per cent in freight traffic at Little
Rock. Better priced cotton is in
part responsible for the feeling of
comfort generally throughout the
south and shared by Arkansas
farmers who at no time within the
last twenty years have been in
better financial condition. This
situation Is having a salutary ef-
feet upon agriculture, for, though
cotton will have a somewhat
larger acreage this year, marked
attention is being given other
crops"

ONE OF THE KING BOYS.


Commenting on the opposition
to his anti trust bill, one of the
senators named King makes this
statement:
SIN pushing this measure l am
simply trying to carry out the
mandate Of the people and obey
the instructions of the Democratic
party. Yes, | see the press is
pointing out some great and dire
calamities that are going to befall
the State if this bill should be-
come law. I remember that
these same papers that are de-
nouncing me and my bill made
all sorts of accusations against
Gov. Davis when he was a can
didate for governor, and when he
advocated doing something for
the people they said he was crazy,
but the Democratic part indorsed
him and his views so strongly
that there is no mistaking their
wishes in this matter. No, |
don't know what the special com
mittee will do, but | shall insist
on carrying out the the will of
the people as expressed in their
Democratic platform, If | am
wrong the party is wrong on this
subject, and the sickly whines of
the ust-bound press will not
deter me from doing what I can
to carry into effect the decree of
the Democratic party"
The Senator is mistaken, but
he has thoroughly convinced the
press of one shing--that he is
seeking to follow in the footsteps
of Gov. Davis in posing as a
martyr, and that he is playing to
the galleries, talking buncombe
for the benefit Of the e-galius
boys" whom he hopes to align on
his side. The press of the state
Is not denouncing him, in fact it
does not know which one of the
boys he is, but it is respectfully
criticising, as it has a right to,
the provision of "his" bill, which
all recognize to be not only the
handiwork but the brain work of
another man.
The press believes some pro-
visions Of the bill are dangerous
t. the best interests of the state,
AID to the very people he is seek
ing to please and to blind, but it
is saying SO in courteous, digni-
fled language, it is arguing and
not "denouhcing," it is reasoning
and not whining"
The Senator is mistaken if he
thinks he can induce the boys 10

AN ADVERTISED TOWN,

1t is said that we may judge a
man pretty correctly by the COM
pany he keeps and a town by
what appears in it's local paper.
If this be true Pocahontas is
without a rival as a whiskey
town. A copy of the "Herald"
is before US and we note seven
solid columns devoted to the ad-
vertisement Of the saloon of the
town. On the local pages appear
sixteen locals Of fifty eight lines
calling the peoples attention to
the excellent quality of the
drinking liquor sold by these sa-
looms. We note further that on
ly one local appears mentioning
churches or church service, and
not a line is devoted to schools or
education. If the Herald" re-
fleets the real status of Pocahon-
tas we might be led to believe that
the people of the town are
strangers TO churches, religion,
and education, but we'll up as to
the hands of wholesome whiskey
and beer.

JOURNALISTS IN HIGH OFFICE.
Republic of France Offers Unusual
Advantages 10 Men of the
Profession.

NJ Delcasse, the French minister of
foreign affairs, who has had and is
still having so much to do with the
arrangements for the cars visit to
France, is journalist who has won
his way to his position straight from
journalism. Journalism in France is
one of the high roads to political
rank: Witness NM. Brisson, Dupuy,
Delcasse and others less known out
of France. In England there is but
one journalist, pure and simple, who
has reached cabinet rank, and that
is John Morley.
Theophile Delcasse is a Gascon, who
was born a few ldlometers from that
town of Folk, which he now repre-
sents in the chamber, but, although
u near neighbor of Tarascon, he has
nothing of the immortal Tartarin De
Tarascon about him. He began life
on the Republique Franchise and
made foreign affairs his speciality.
lie has been in the French parliament
for only ~ years, but he got into
office eight years ago. Despite the
so-called Fashoda rebuff he has re-
manned minister of foreign affairs in
three ministries, and thus keeps up
the continuity of policy at the Quai
d'Orsay. He will not be so till March
/ next year. Can we wonder that the
Partisan journalist magnifies his Of
fiQs?

scarcity of Erminc.

Ermine is to be very dear this win
ter, because a quantity of it is or
dered for coronation robes, not only
for royal personages but for peers,
judges and other official dignitaries,
says London Truth. Ermine is so
beautiful in itself that it is bought
and worn by thousands whom it
merely disfigures. 1t is one of the
most trying things that anyone ever
put near the face. unless that face
is young and happy in complexion.
A child's soft rosiness looks absolute
ly delicious above an ermine-trimmed
coat or collar. The incompatible
freshness of early youth in no way
suffers from the propinquity, but
what of the sallow, the wrinkled. the
over-red? Sable is kind even to these.
but ermine shows them up shock

SOARING A DEBTOR.
a Newark story of the Persuasive
Power which Lay fn n Lawyers
business Card.

A good story is told of the way a
Newark lawyer was tricked by clever
client the other day, relates the News
of that city. The barrister was sit
ting in his Office when Mrs. B., a
friend, entered, and proceeded TO tell
him of the difficulty a Mr.. c. was in
through a loan he had made to Mr..
D.. Mr.. c. was in great need of the
money, but Mr.. D. refused to return
the sum, which was quite large one.
II think" said Mrs. B. TO the law
yer, that il you should take hold OF
the case yol could collect the money"
''All right" said the barrister, think
ing of the neat little fee that would
be his after he had succeeded in in
ducing Mr. D. to part with the sum
claimed by Mr.. C.. "I'll give you one
of my cards TO hand TO Mr.. c.. If he
will step in and see me I'll handle the
case for him"
Shortly afterward the lawyer left
the city for a few days outing in the
country. On his return he inquired of
Mrs. B. what had become of Mr.. c.
and his claim against Mr.. D..
'nh, that's all settled" replied the
wUman. 'Afr. c. said he just went to
Ny. D., showed him your card and
said he had retained you in the case.
Mr.. D. paid the money at once"
Now the lawyer is wondering where
his prospective fee is coming in. He
believes he has a good case against
Mr.. c. for about ten per cent. of the
amount of Mr.. C--'s loan, but has not
decided whether to press the case or
