imperial chancellor, the various ann
bassadors and other distinguished per-

o'clock Emperor William and the
prince drove in a closed carriage TO
the barracks of the First Royal ORA
goons, Queen Victoria's Own. The
triumphal .archway OF evergreens had
been erected in front Of the porch OF
the barracks and the regiment was
drawn up in parade order. The band
played the British anthem after the
regiment had marched past, the en-
peror and Prince OF Wales, who later
proceeded TO the regimental mess
room, where luncheon WAS served.
The party included the British ambas-
sador to Germany. Sir +. c. Lascelles.

Editor Watchman and Southron:
On account of the anniversary of
Lees birthday falling on Sunday the
celebration of the event by. the school
at this place was postponed until
Monday, the Goth instant. The exer-
cises from l until p. m., were inter
esting and appropriate, consisting OF
the singing of "The Bonnie Blue
Flag and ''Dixie'' and the recitation
of the verses entitled Lees Sword. "
The writer deems it very necessary
to the right training of our youth to
implant within them admiration for
the martial valor of our fathers, and
an admirable effort was made to do so
by Hon. R. ". McCutchen, member
of our County Board of Education,
who delivered the following grafton to
the great delight of all present. We

it is and give to prospectors and home
seekers the sort of information they
would naturally desire to have for
their guidance. They cannot get 1t
elsewhere, or otherwise, without
hunting all over the State in person
for it; they could get it at the Ex-
position; and the speaker proposed
that they should get it there, for his
county, if his neighbors could be
aroused, even now, to the great value
of such an exhibit and advertisement
and would Join him in providing 1t IN
the time remaining to them. There
was still time enough, if only it were
devoted to intelligent and united work
for the purpose in view. :"
These are, in substance, the views
of one county representative, who has
seen the Exposition and has learned
what it is and means, and what it may
vet be made to mean and do for mis-
own county, by even belated work on
the part of its people, working togeth-
er for their own interest. They are
well worthy of thoughtful considera-
tion and prompt and practical applica-
tion by representative men in all the
counties.-News and Courier.
The foregoing editorial which ap-
peared in The News and Courier of
last Saturday is well worth considera-
tion and we hope that our people will
think over the suggestions so peril
nently expressed. We are informed
that Mr.. E. I. Reardon is the repre-
sentative citizen whose remarks furn-
ished the ground work for the edi-
torial.

The Z. S. Civil Service Commission
Will hold examinations at several
places in each state during March
and April, to secure young men and
women for the government service.
9, ,s89 persons secured positions last
year through these examinations.
Probably 10000 appointments will be
made this year. All appointments are
for life and for most positions only a
common school education is required.
Salaries at appointment vary from
$3.50 to $1,000 year with liberal pro
motions afterward Politics is not
considered. There is less competition
in the southern states than in other
parts of the country. This affords a
good opportunity for people between
16 and 45 years Of age. Those desiring
places OF this kind can get full infor-
nation about them, free, by writing
to the Columbian Correspondence Col
lege, Washington, D. c., and asking

Hagood News Items.

Hagood, Jan. 27.-Here we are with
one month of the new year closing.
Not much time remains for its work.
Perhaps we bave all been pretty busy.
Some people are busy all the time but
do nothing. I suppose they are as
tired as other busy people.
Some of the colored fraternity
around here started out on new role,
farming, with nothing to farm on.
They may have taken too literally that
scripture: ""Man shall not live by
bread alone,' but they are finding out
that he must have the bread, and as
that article is scarcer than usual
theirs is not foury nor fowery
bed. Many farmers have planted
their oats over. A few were SO fortu
nate as not to lose them. Many oats
that appeared to be living are dead
and some are still dying. Fertilizers
will not be used here to the same ex-
tent of last year. We need more di-
yersifed farming So long as we de-
pend on cotton alone as the money
crop we may expect hard times. l
can see no reason why tobacco cannot
be profitable here as well as in other
counties: I am satisfied cur lands
are as we'll adapted to its culture.
One reason why farmers get along so
bad is that they rest too much. [
can cite exceptions to this rule to
prove the above assertion. All our
spare time can be proftably employed
making homemade fertilizer.
Mr.. Editor, / want to exhort the
young people to get married. When

girls, bright and smart, almost wish
I was single again. I went into a
bachelor hall not long since and it

This was not an exception, / know

madame was away. Deliver me from

am reminded of the epitaph written
on the tombstone of great liar:

 GENTLEMEN:
 We desire to express our satis- faction and thanks for the excel lence of the workmanship and the promptness with which order was filled for cylinder and steam chest for our 60-H. P. Atlas engine.
 Broken parts were delivered on the morning of October 29th, and new duplicate was received on the evening of November 3rd. It being so large and complicated piece, we are certainly to be congratulated that we have an establishment cen- trally located for Arizona and So- nora, that can turn such perfect work in so short space of time, and we would request that this let ter be published in your local papers for the benefit of those inter- ested in the mining industry and machinery.
 Again thanking you, we remain
