DOES NOT FAVOR CANAL.
Interview with Carnegie.

Interview with Carnegie.
Have you any views on the subject Of
the isthmian canal?' was the next ques
tion put to him.
Il do not believe in a canal at all. l
do not believe canal will render the
service for the transportation of goods
that a first-class railroad would do.
Freight could be unloaded into fifty-ton
cars and loaded on the other side at far
less cost than running even 10000 ton
ships, even If you had to pay no tolls"
Would you, therefore, favor Tehuan-
tepec ship railroad such as has been pro-
posed?"
They are building railroad there
now, but not of that kind. l do not be-
lieve the Nicaragua canal can be built. l
do not believe that that canal can be
worked, even if it is built The Pana-
ma canal can be made workable. There
is more sentiment behind the canal than
good sense

Among the Exchanges.

The Clay County Courier is always IN
teresting and original, and every line OF
it is read with curiosity in this print
shop. We regret to note that all the
people of that county, while appreciative
of their bright paper, do not sho" that
appreciation in as substantial manner
as would fill the pockets OF the edltor.
He is human and. while long suffering,
has a short and petty editorial THIS
week that is so plain that ne VINO runs
may read. We quote:
Some people who have never PAID US
red cent come around asking what
the matter with the Courier? Ihey
surely think we can run on, like Tenny-
sons brook, forever, without collecting
cent. If they would pay what they owe
there wouldn't be anything the matter
with the Courier"
The correspondents of the Courier are
never prosy or commonplace. The one
from Sweet Water is the most original
and interesting, as the following extracts
from his last letter shows:
"Seab Lovin is candidate for matri-
monial honors, and from the way he
passes the homes of some of the fair sex
and from the whispered rumors we await
results-its sure to come. Look out for
Andy Moore; he's on the carpet, too"
II see that Virgo Moore is still out of
Lathe asylum, and still composing poetry
He surely has no true friends or they
would confine him where he couldn't make
such public ass of himself / noticed in
sKAs last doggerel he wound up with the
prayer that God would save him from
nj
that, sonny without first changing the
shape of your head, and He probably
wouldn't wish to do that. for 1 think
when He created it He just wanted to
see what a funny looking noggin man
could wiggle through life with. A lady
sent me word the other day that virgo
told her he was natural born poet.
SUIT Lovinggood once made the same re-
mark about himself, only he clothed the
same idea in little different language
"a natural born durn fool Now, sonny,
are you simple enough to think that be-
cause lines rhyme at the end they are
poetry? / win bet you green gourd
against that head of yours that you can't
write four lines of poetry between now
and Christmas. Now Bub, sail in, and
if you win the gourd you can fill it with
axle grease and use it for head. 1t will
serve you better than the head you now
USE"
If every newspaper had q correspon-
dent as personal and spicy as the
Sweet Water correspondent of the Clay
County Courier their columns would be
free from dullness and they would add to
the gaiety of the nation.

DUMB AS OYSTERS.

The Madison Record one Of the best
papers in the State is a thorn in the flesh
OF the Marshall ring in Madison county.
Every week it asks this question: why
was it that the Southern Railway was
released for $354.4 of the jury tax while
the people were required to pay their part
of $2,S47.80? Was it because the attor-
ncy OF the board of commissioners was
also the attorney of the railroad?" A cor
respondent of the Record suggests that
the railroad will contribute that sum to
the Republican campaign fund, but the
Republican ringsters are as dumb as oys-
ters.

Commandant 0pperman Killed.
(By the Associated Press


London, Nov. 5.-Lord Kitchener in a
report to the War Office under date of
November 4, giving further details of the
recent engagement near Brakenlaagte,
eastern Tranvaal, between Colonel Ben
sons column and the Beers, says:
1.-The Beers were unable to remove the
guns they captured until British am
bulance went out, when under cover of the
ambulance, the Burghers carried them off.
The Boer losses were undoubtedly heavy,
but no correct estimate of them is oo-
tainable. Commandant Opperman was
killed and Chris Botha was wounded. The
Beers are reported to have behaved
badly to the British wounded.
He further reports that Cape Colony
to the eastward of the Western Railway
is cleared of Beers with the exception
of the Fouche- Myburg- Vessels command
of 400 men, with which French is deal
