ted every day by the use of AETNA. The
vapor current generated in the AETNA
passes through the Eustachian tubes into
the middle ear, removing the catarrhal OBJ
structions as IT passes through the tubes
and loosens up the bones (hammer, anvil
and stirrup) in the inner ear, making
them respond to the slightest vibration
of sound. Aetna has never failed TO cure
ringing noises in the head. We have
known people troubled with this distress
ing symptom for years to be completely
cured in only three weeks use of the
AETNA. AETNA also cures asthma, bron-
chitis, sore throat, weak lungs, colds and
headache; all of which are directly or in
directly due to catarrh. AETNA is sent on
trial postpaid. Write US about your case.

A friend who lives at a distance. but
who reads The Journal, thus writes:
Dear Mrs. FELTON,:
at seems to me. after reviewing the
situation, that on the water Dewey did
st. also that on the water 'Schley did it..
ION land it was nicely done by Paddy
Miles's boy (this was the pet name given
TO the general amongst the union soldiers
OF lS61-65.)
1T Is true Miles has his faults. but who
is going to throw the first stone?
From my standpoint Alger suffered
from the bad effects of 'embalmed beef
and Secretary Long longed a long time
for some of the glory enough for ALL
''Maclay is at least convinced that a
mastiff prefers TO jump on a lone cur than
on a pack OF hounds, but 1 do think
erowninshield is the real niger in the
woOdpile'
How much he used Sampson we do not
know. but after Sampson had his hair cut
by Schley. Crowninshied made cats
paw OF Sampson.
How about our esteemed scholar, Hon.
John Temple Graves? Is not his loyalty
to Schley rather shaky?
His views on negro deportation seem
10 be at variance with other and later
views in The Journal.
THE niger IS all right enough. until
there gets TO be too mucn of him in the
MuO0NllEs OF MuEU the MOEu DdSsts dIOuMu
that he must have special laws to- pre-
serve him.
THE same laws do not seem TO have
like affect on the two races. The Niger
Is something like my dog. perhaps I would
like 10 get rid OF him, but can't find any
body willing TO take him." $50
When congress takes a hand in the
Scnley controversy then we will see what
we will see. and my correspondent from
a distance viii find out II he has read the
signs of the times correctly. But IL is
clearly plain that Dewey did IL at Manila
and Schley did IL at Santiago. and the
gratifed people of the United States will
not fall out with either of them concern
ing the manner OF doing It. II either had
failed as did Admiral Byng. nearly two
hundred years ago. he might have been
cOurtmartialed and possibly hanged at the
yard arm. But they did not fail and
the country Is proud Of both of them.

ing and are still occupied. The home
place of old Tom Hamilton, who owned
such a great estate in Columbia
county, and who settled over hundred
years ago on the little Keokee Creek
was standing and occupied by my host,
Rev NJ. Smith. when I visited him only
a few years ago.
1t consists of a large room of per-
haps 24x20 feet, of a story and half.
The doors, floors and ceiling were Of
strong boards and were held together
by wrought iron nails. The double log
cabin, made of hewed logs. with a wide
passageway and large shed rooms, was
the home of many of the wealthiest of
the Georgians in its early days; and
there were up to 1900 very few better
houses. The houses of the low country
planters were only slightly different.
In very few of these were glass win
dows. These double log houses, or
hewed log houses of a story and half
gave way to a style of building which,
according to Hallam in his Middle
Ages was found in England among
the gentry of the sixteenth century,
came to America, and has continued
till the present time. A box house of
two stories, with a porch or piazza
and shed rooms. What the school girls
call colonial mansions did not come
into the rural districts until about 60
years ago.
THE FURNITURE(OF THE HOMES.
AS one may we'll suppose, where the
mansion was a log cabin with a dirt
floor, the furniture supply was very
scant, and men who belonged to Eng
fish, Scotch and Welsh families of no.
BILE line lived in cabins less comfort
able than the poorest negroes live in
now, and had less furniture than is
found in many an humble labOrer's
home. There were neither bedsteads
nor chairs, nor crockery, nor wash
bowls or tin pans. There was a bed
made first of dried leaves in tow bed
tick, then of straw or long moss,
bench, a puncheon table, a platform
on which the bed lay and some rugs
or coverlets brought from Virginia,
and deer skins and bear skins for COW
ering.
The frontiersman had come into the
country before the roads were made.
He was not a rich man or he would
not have moved, and he had little in
Virginia or North Carolina save land.
Perhaps he did not own that, but soon
after his coming he was able to trade
his skins and furs in Augusta for
blankets, pewter plates and nails to
make articles, and he increased his
household conveniences, but ii was a
long time before he had more than a
bed, pine table, a few split bottomed

eREAsINe A FAT SOW.
RECKLESS RUNNING OF TRAINS.

to fast time on many railroads, but a
public carrier should be compelled to go
slow enough with sufficient precautions to
prevent one train from crashing into an
other just ahead of IL, as the accident
here noted did occur in the tunnel under
the city. There seems to be no way to
wake up a railroad conscience except by
demanding money for reckless running of
trains-but the pocketbook should feel II,
and feel it heavily, when a trainload Of
helpless people who had paid their money
for transportation has been massacred by
an Indifferent crew on another engine and
train Of cars.
Telephones and telegraph machines are
plentiful. and If had voice in the bus
mess would say never allow two trains
sufficient opportunity to collide on the
same track, and If one train follows an
other. compel them to keep at least ten
miles apart, or take away the charter and
drive these reckless people to other bus
mess, where human life is not at stake,
as it is every day on railroad trains.
1t is Notwithstanding to read about these
everyday crashes, collisions, plunging
through trestles and culverts, with more
or less killed and injured. When a flood
fills the water courses no train should run
over doubtful chasms or insecure bridges,
especially in the night time. Better that
week than run them into an abyss of
death and disaster to connect with an
other train. 1t is not a killing matter to
be delayed by high water or through fear
of an unsafe trestle or railroad bridge for
a few hours. Any sensible traveller will
prefer to tax his purse for lodging rather
than break LIS neck to catch train in a
freshet.
Perhaps elderly people are not the sort
of people to direct about mail trains and
such like, but their advice sounds very
reasonable after wreck and slaughter Of
human life has taken place You may be
sure there are more valuable lives saved
by prudent caution than by sixty miles
an hour conveyances. When the time
comes to fly we will not be bothered with
steam engines and slippery tracks or
drunken engineers or smart Alexis in any
railroad employment; but until flying
time gets to us we had better instruct our
public carriers that it means considerable
money from them when this reckless
running is unchecked.

- MEAN by early Georgia Georgia
before the beginning of the last
century-and propose in this pa
per to make as correct state
ment of how the people lived as
it is In my power to do.
After the first days of settlement,
when all were on the same roofing,
there was a diversity of conditions
which became more and more pro-
nounced as years went on, and no his
tory can be a true one which falls to
recognize this fact. There were only
two towns of any size in Georgia, Sa-
vannah and Augusta, and in each or
them life was very different, and lie
in both of them differed from life In
the rural sections.
These were the frontiersmen. the up
country people who had just come to
the state, the low country people who
had been in the province before. it be-
came a state. There were even then
the planters, the small farmers, the
crackers and the slaves. The two main
divisions were, however, the town peo-
pie and the country people. An ola
Savannah man of 40 years ago knew
no Savannah and no interior counties.
He only knew the city and the coun-
try, and IL would have been an al
front to have asked him what city he
meant In his view there was only one
in Georgia. 1 propose in this article
to let the cities alone and contine my
view to the country at large.
THE HOUSES THE PEOPLE LIVED
IN.
The first corners, the people on the
frontier lived in log cabins of the
crudest kind. Cabins like them some
what improved, are now found
in every section of rural Georgia.. The
cabin of the first conner was merely
of poles, with a roof of boards held
in it's place by weight poles. The
chimney was of stick and dirt, and
the floor was of clay.
These houses were generally in
groups and the owner of a thousand
acres and the squatter alike, occu-
pied them. They were never out of
sight in early Georgia and then the
dirt floor was succeeded by the floor
of plank, and the door was hung
with white oak hinges, but was hung
and was a door. and this cabin held
ITS place as the domicile of a great
number for over a score of years.
Many a man who came from Virginia
with a couple of slaves lived In cab
in like this. When his two had be-
come ten but generally the cabin gave
way to a better house of hewn logs.
Some af these houses are still stand

cial attentions to Sir Charles Dixie will
serve to rehabilitate that statesman as
one of the leaders of the liberal party.
Queen Victoria would never recognize
Sir Charles after an unfortunate scam
dal in which he became involved years
ago, and thereafter he was ignored in
the construction of liberal cabinets, al
though his great abilities and unusual
equipment as a public man have been
conceded on all sides. King Edward,
in inviting Sir Charles to a luncheon
on the royal yacht during the corona
ton naval review, doubtless took the
view that the baronet had had punish

A DANGEROUS CALLING
OIL SHOOTERS AND THEIR RISKY
WORK.
Men Who Handle the Freakish Nitro
Glycerine Manufacture of the EX-
plOsiVe.

The duties of a shooter are not null
titudinous but they are exacting, and
for reasons well known to oil country
folk he draws pay for all his waking
hours. AS a matter of fact, a shooter
may be said to be working hardest
when he is going to work, and strange
as this sounds, it is easily understood
when one realizes that this important
oil country character rides to work in
a vehicle in which is slowed anywhere
from 80 to 500 quarts of one of the most
powerful, and by long odds the most
unreliable and freakish, explosives that
maan has yet compounded. Some
times nitrO-g lycerine acts as patiently
as a 25-year-old farm horse. 1t can be
jOlted, upset, and even kicked without
showing a sign of life. Again ii eX-
plOdes when an autumn leaf chances to
blow against the can in which it is
kept, and the explosion never fails to
alter very materially the appearance
Of the immediate landscape.
Dynamite rarely eXplodes accident
ally, where ordinary care is taken, and
it is little wonder that men accustom-
ed to handling it sometimes treat it
with great carelessness, Dynamite eX-
lists principally because nitro-glycerlne
is so dangerous.
Nitro glycerine is used in the sec
tons Of the country where oil is found,
almost exclusively. For ordinary blast
ing work it is never employed. 1t is
never transported by rail, and factories
where it is made are never found in
the vicinity of other buildings.
When a man outs down an oil Well
he drills until he reaches the stratum
which he wishes to tap, and then sends
for shooter This individual appears
on the scene riding always on a buck
board-wagon, on which he carries from
so to 800 quarts of nitro glycerine. The
explosive is kept in square tin cans,
packed in box under and back Of

THE REASON.

Although last June was not the worst
on record, it has been so uncomfort-
able that there may be interest in the
reason for it. a German scientist has
discovered it. He says volcanic dust
causes the superabundant rain and
that we are in for a rainy summer.
