The physicians who visited him
at 10 o'clock Tuesday night found

ers, which his friends are sending,
in accordance with Chinese custom,
to be buried with him when he died,

Paris, November 8.-The text of

issued on September Is. 1t reads
"Whereas, no official of the Orange
Free State or the Transvaal Repub-
lie and no general, commandant or
burgher intends to obey Lord Kitche-
ner's proclamation or to trouble with
it; and, whereas, the proclamation
contains falsehoods habitual to the
English and, whereas, Lord Kitche-
ner's proclamation has strengthened
the determination of all burghers to
resist to the end now,
"Therefore, I, Louis Botha, com
mandant general of the republican
forces, with the consent Of the gov
ernments, officers, and burghers of
both republics, proclaim Lord Kitch-
ener, his staff, and the officers and

A Big SnIpe Hunt.

Most of our readers have heard of
snipe hunting. 1t is sport in small
towns and among school boys. A
crowd collects and gets some unsus-
pecting youth to join them in snipe
hunt in some distant forest. He is
assigned a station and given bag to
catch the snipes as they are driven
in. He gets down on his knees and
holds the bag open while his COM
panions retire with torches to drive
the game into the open bag. But
that is the last seen of them, for
they 60 home leaving the innocent
young man out in the dark holding
the bag. When he realizes that he
is the victim of practical joke he
does not know how to get back to
the starting point, for he is on strange
ground.
There is great snipe hunt going
on now. McLaurin and some others
who understand the game have num-
ber of innocent men out in the
woods holding bags open to secure
the game as it is driven in. 1t will
not be long until they realize that
they are victims, and then they will
not know how to get back to the
starting point.
The whole country is watching
this great snipe hunt and before
long they will see the bag holders
coming in with detected looks and
no game.-Abbeville Medium.

Boys and Cigarettes.

The Georgia Legislature has taken
up the cigarette question again. A
dispatch from Atlanta reports that
the House of Representatives has
passed "by an overwhelming vote" Q
bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
and cigarette papers in the State
and it is expected that the Senate
will pass the measure as soon as i,
reaches that >dy.
There is no ground, we think, to
doubt the wisdom of such Legislation
so far as it applies to minors, and in
the absence of information to the
contrary we assume that the Georgia
bill applies only to that class of per-
sons. 1t is we'll known to all medical
men that smoking tobacco is iniuri-
GUS to boys, when carried to excess,
and very moderate indulgence for
man is excess in their case. The
effect of the practice is to weaken
the heart and disturb its functions,
and how very many young constitu.
tions in every community are 80 i'm
paired.is sufficiently shown whenever
physical tests are required in examina-
tions for competitive places. Ruled
out for "tobacco heart" has become
a familiar story in the country.
The cigarette is responsible for
most of the harm done, as it is the
mode of smoking most in favor with
boys. Comparatively few men in
dulge in it. 1t is, therefore, we'll to
strike at the practice, either generally
or specifically with reference to young
smokers. 1t should be prohibited, in
in their interest. The objection is
urged that the sale of cigarettes scan-
not be prevented" If 30, then smok-
ing in public should also be forbid
den under sharp penalty. Boys do
most of their smoking away from
their homes and places of employ
ment. If they cannot smoke else
where except in fear of police atten-
tions the evil will be greatly abated,
and it should be abated as far as
practicable. The Georgia Legislature
is doing good work, and it should
have many imitators.-News and
Courier.

The Negro in Australia.

Notwithstanding English sympa-
thy 4 'r the negro race everywhere,
save within British dominion, race
prejudice is as strong there as it
could possibly be in the South.
The new Australian Parliament
has taken prompt steps for the re-
preston of the colored races. A
labor bill passed prohibits the immi-
grafton of people who cannot speak
some European language. Al first
it was proposed to limit the immi-
grafton to those speaking English,
bnt it was finally decided to extend
the privilege to people speaking any
European language. AS the bill
was intended to differentiate between
white and black, this requirement
was deemed effective. AS to gov
ernment work, employment is given
to whites only, and in all the mail
contracts, whether overland or
marine, there 'ls stipulation that
colored labor is not to be used.
There is movement now on foot to
exclude black labor from the sugar
plantations, which is likely to culmi-
nate into law. The cdict seems to
be that the colored man must go.
The Boston Herald, in discussing
the outbreak of white antipathy in
an English possession, tries to ex-
plain the exclusion of colored men
from the marine service by saying
that Gin times of need, like the Chi
nese, they are not to be depended
on" Whatever the excuse, the fact
is there that colorad mon arc not
wanted.-Atlanta Constitution.
