popular with the British nation as q

There is a great deal Of gush about
the ties Of blood between the two
big "Anglo-Saxon nations" But, as a
matter Of fact, the United States is
far from being anywhere near pure
Anglo-S Saxon, nation. Although the
planting Of the first successful colo
nies made Britain the mother country
and English the paramount language,
yet even at the time of the revolution
there were many Hollanders, Swedes,
Germans and Irish and their offspring
in America, and the rolls of the
American revolutionary army carry
a large number Of noD- English names.
For hundred years multitudes of
Teutons, eelts, Latins and Slavs have
landed on our shores. Furthermore,
We have the Africans descendants to
the number Of many millions, and it
would take big stretch of the imag-
ination and a bucket of whitewash to
make an Ang;o-Saxon out Of one Of
the black. mans progeny. =.

1t is an easy matter for the senti-

their American descendants are Of

Ethnologists tell us that the white
man Of Europe and America has a
common descent with the Persian and
the East Indian from their early
lndo- European, or Aryan, forefathers.

The attempt Of certain Americans

First Cost Not the Cheapest.

The first cost of an article does not
necessarily determine it's cheapness.
For instance, sack of "Clifton" flour
may cost you little more than other
so-called patent fours, but it will be
cheaper to you in the end. Why? Be-
cause it will not only make more bread
to the sack, but will take less lard and
soda to make it. Order sack of "Clif-
ton and make test for yourself. 1t
will prove the truth of this statement

During the war Of 1912, when the
British blockaded Our ports, the good
people Of the mountains were not bit
put out for powder. They went to
work, opened up these caves and had
just as much fun hunting turkey, deer
and other game as eyer. Now, it SO
happened that some Of these good old
men were still living when the civil
war came on, and they at once impart-
ed to the younger people the secret of
making saltpeter and gunpowder there
from. Those caves were at once work
Cd by enterprising men for all they
were worth and that capital could
bring to them.
There was soon established as an
arm of the war department of thc Con :
federacy "nitre and mining bureau"
which took charge Of all these mines.
This soon systematized the business,
and for awhile, the output was simply
wonderful. Of course, this domestic
product Of saltpeter greatly facilita-
ted the manufacture OF powder at Au.
gusta. When Sherman overran upper
Georgia this put q quietus to the oper-
ations of the "nitre and mining bu.
reau' in this part of the State. e.-Dr.
