467 The notice in The Advertiser in regard to John Pope was sent to me for information, so I will very willingly give the result of my own services. as I have the same name. By an hours search through Whites History of Georgia l find John Pope was one of the earliest settlers of Wilks County, Ga, in 1776. l have no account of his marriage, yet as we see his great grandson was Pope Walker, one of his (John Pope's daugh- ters) may have married a MT. Walker, hence the name Pope Walker. Freeman Walker was also an early settler of Walker County. after whom the county was named, and as he was so very cul- tivated and filled so many public offices, I think he was the father of Pope Walk CT, who was In Jeff Daviss Cabinet for he died as late as 1927 Mrs. Jefferson Davis could certainly give the informa- tion.

Some years after the war Cap tain Theus was on his way to Charleston and stopped as usual at the Six-Mie T-~ern for refreshments for man and beast. To his intense astonishnent he recognized in the person who served his al. the very man whom he had hung at St. Stephens.

Y / The Dawes commission has been

Is Henry l.. Dawes was its active
Ihead it was free from all suspicion
of corruption, commercialism and
culpable delay. Within the sec
ond year after bis arrival in the
Territory, that venerable and up
fright statesman had inspired such
a feeling Of cordially and conf
dence among the Indians that on
November 10, 1896, toe five tribes
lmet in convention at South Nc.
lAlester and resolved that the time
lhad come TO treat with the Dawes
commission, and that they all
should act in harmony, With the
object Of surrendering their tribal
authority and OF securing the al
otment Of All their lands in sew
eraIty.
Had nis age and health permit-
tied Senator Dawes 10 continue his
Igood work, THAT date and event
would have marked the end Of all

There were but two sources Of op-

upon a condition that il the tribes
should ever cease to exist and
their lands again become a part Of
the public domain, then the rail
road company should be entitled
to alternate sections ten miles wide
each side Of its track the whole
length Of the territory. The In
dians feared that an extingnish

make this condition effective
This feat was allsyed and ell op-

Paris.-This is a most memora
bic day in the annal of French airship
development. 1t has witnessed two re-
rnarkable exhibitions in wind and rain.
first by the Lebaudy brothers airship.
and then by Santos-Dumont's new No. 8.
Each remained In the air an unusual
length OF time and conducted maneuvers
which aroused the admiration Of scores
of scientists who had gathered to witness
the spectacle.
The Lebandy airsh.p made it's start
from st. Martin at . a. m. during a light
rain, and with a brisk wind blowing. The
;dir1gible craft passed over a number of
suburban towns. At Nantes she made a
circle around the cathedral spire and left
that town going diagonally against the
wind.
Series of Evolutions.
Over Limay, Nantes and Rosny the air
ship was put through a series Of evo1u-
tons, and answered her helm and maneu-
tvered to the perfect satisfaction of all
interested In her. She then returned to
her point of departure, where she de-
'scended without accident.
The distance covered was thirty-seven
,kilomters U~wenty-three miles) in one
hours and thirty-six minutes, against
,Santos-Dumont's record for the Deutsch
prize Of eleven and a half kilometers IN
thirty minutes.
Santos-Dumont mad his ascent from
the balloon park at Neuilly, where he has
constructed a vast shed, in which are
several of his airshlps. Upon leaving the
park, No. 8 was conducted by q guide rope
to the bagatelle drill ground in the Bots
vers, at the height of thirty yards and
lasting half an hour, were made.
Guiee Rope Rested Free.
During the evolutions the guide rope
rested free on the ground. AS Santos
Dumont did not have permission from the
authorities to make use of the drill
for his purpose the guards inter-
fered and he had to stop the maneuvers.
The airship was returned to its shed,
Santos-Dumont is satisfied with his as
cent Of today, which shortly will be re-
peated. When questioned he said No. 9
was the smallest airship he had con-
structed and the motor Of three horse
power. No. 9. however, has a rudder sur
face of twelve square meters. This ship
is only intended for experiments leading
up to tests of No. 10, which has cubes Of
100 meters and which is intended to car
twelve persons. The %aeronaut expects
to be ready to make the No. 10 trials in a
month.
In the shed at Neuilly also is airship No.
Z. with cubes of 1000 meters capacity,
which has been especially constructed
with a view to entering the contests at
the st. Louis exposition.
The Temps says that in view of thu
and vino the results obtained were
notable.
M. Juohmes, who directed the Lebaudy
a-rship, said 1t was under perfect control.
The screws revolved 500 times per minute.
which speed was increased to 1000 reyoIu-
when sailing against a strong cur
rent of wind.

Automobiles and Exercise.

Harper's Weekly: On the whole the Au-
tomobile is the most amusing toy now i'll
the market. Aff1uent persons who have
got tired Of navigating Long Island Sound
and sailing up and down the Atlantic
coast in yachts, find novelty and pleasure
in yachting on shore. Most of them seem
to go through the same experience. Be
ginning with a modest little motor-wagon,
run by electricity perhaps, they duly as
pire and acquire, advancing from car to
car, each time a bigger one with more
horsepower and greater speed capacity,
until they have to send horses to pasture
and carriages to be stored to make room
In their stables for the collection of devil
wagons.
There is no doubt tha the machines are
interesting, and that the testing of their
capacities to cover distance has great fas-
Scinatton. But with many owners they are
still a fad, and in SO far as they are a fad
they will in time lose part of their attrac-.
tiveness. And as a fad automobiling has
some drawbacks. 1t is told, with dia-
grams and pictures to help, that a good
many automobilists are getting unconl-.
fortably fat, and it is a matter Of observa-
ton that the ltverS of others are not
working as smoothly as their owners and
their owners associates could wish. Can
1t be that automobiling is defective as a
sport in that it fails to give it's votaries
due physical exercise? 1t looks that way.
1oll, llOuSH II may come 10 De LlTeSOme,
Is an exceedingly salubrious exercise.
Horseback riding and polo-playing jolt
the liver in a fashion that is highly adj
vantageous to that organ. Walking and
tennis keep down fat, and are plainly
wholesome for persons whom they suit.
But automobiling, though it is a true
recreation in that it engages and enter
tains the mind, seems to be a bit too easy
on the body. That is a serious defect in
a sport, for our older men especially cul-
tivate sports, not so much as Il kill-tirne,
as to keep the body in such condition as
will best sustain the urgent activities Of
the mind If the automobile can't keep
its owner lin condition. it won't have all
the stable to itself, nor leave the golf
course bare of players. 1t Will not per-
ish, of course, but persons who just now
find in it their sole recreation will have to
supplement 1t with exercises that exercise.
Man Is intended to work both with his
mind and his body. When human in
genuity succeeds in making any difficult
thtng-like transportation or, maintenance
so easy that 1T is no trouble that par
ticular difficulty ceases in some measure
to perform its office in keeping people
healthy, and some other difficulty has to
be substituted for It. If we could live
without trouble we should nave to invent
suitable forms of trouble to keep us from
degenerating, and that is precisely what
folks do whose lives have been made too
easy, and who are wise enough to real-
.ize 1t.
