Il t siso isnorsd the written testimony of theil frtends in South Africa VI Tie Bsvmuda military authorities kept theif stubborn prisoners in one of the old laagers or Hawkins Island furnishing them the neces. sities of life. The men remained there year. but rave no sign of relentfngs
 : A few weeks ago some of the Boers were told they must % to work In one of the mill tary Cemeteries They refused and were ex- ipeIled from Hawkins Island. landing at Ham iiton. where they established a miniature laager on one of the public wharves. As they com mtttsd no breach of the city ordinances. no steps wefe taken to compel them to move
 On August 10. last. the military authorities turned loose in three separate parts of the colony the rest of their prisoners. They made their camps where they landed, their baggage. camp stools and cooking pots were piled high on the sfofe and al the roadside. and the men themselves slept In blankets beneath the open sky. When told to Ind quarters the Boers assumed an attitude of defiance toward the civil authorities fs
 Some were; arrested and placed in jail for short term. Before trial transportation was offered them free of charge. to any port. Brit ish or foreign, they might name. The offer was refused So was the offer Of liberty on condition that no further violation of the law should take place. The particular offence was iciterins In the public road. but the Boers made the plea that they had been left there by the British Government. that they still considered themselves prisoners of war. and as such must remain where they were placed
 Some of the irreconcilabics are still in con hnement. others have rented e cottage and established a laagor. All are firm in their determinaton not to take the oath or ale giahce until they are sent by the British Gov ernn,ent to South Africa.
 IL the men persist In. their present course they may eventually become public charges. Some of tfe Bosrs arc abls-bodied. but many among them arc crippled and unit for work' owing to wounds received in battle. +f

MIR. RocKEFELLER's MONEY.
"Even if he Has a Whole Billion There is Something Left for the
 Rest of Us."

Harpers Weekly
 There are occasional signs of anxiety for fear that Mir. John D. Rockefeller will get all the money there is Mir. Rockefeller has not lately seen 1t to publish his estimate Of the value of his possessions, but sanguine guessers rate him nowadays as pretty nearly a biilion- aire and the most conservative computers believe he has more than half a billion. It would be possible to say what is the total wealth of the United States. but the assessed valuation of the several States for 1902 amounted to about thirty-five billions Even if Mir. Rockefeller has a whole billion, there Is something left for the rest of us. But his for tune. they tell us Is probably increasing by as much as fifty millions a year. and is not unlikely to double within ten years. Already his financial power is enormous. so that he could influence stock values very materially if he chose and. at times. make or unmake ordinarx miliionaires by mere whispers at the telephone Malevoience Is not attributed to him, nor is he felt to be a mischief-maker. but the feeling is that his business abilities are so surpassing, and his business judgment so unapproachably sound, that he can't help seeing and improving chances to make mill lions more. To discuss him is as little of an in1pe:.inence as to discuss the comet. He is a force. 64 years sold. moving through the earth's atmosphere and believed to be rapidly increasing in weight and velocity Persons who fear they are In his orbit and may be pinched, may find some relief in considering that even though his fortune increases very rapidly its growth may long be fed by the increase of wealth in the country. If wealth in general stops increasing. and MT. Rocke- feller's wealth keeps on increasing. then the pinch may he felt.

ROAD TO HAYNEvILLE GROUND BROKEN FOR RAIL LINE FROM MoRGANSvILLE.
 ming Between Montgomery and
 Capital of Lowndes by Jan uary 15.

Work was commenced yesterday morn- ing on the railroad from Hayneville to Morgansville. Ground was broken at the half way point and the work will be pushed both ways. The road will be eight and half miles long and those in charge of the work say that trains will be run ming by January 18th. 1904
 This will be a short line, but an inn portant one, as 1t will give an outlet for the products of a rich agricultural sec- ton. The road will be built principally by the citizens of Hayneville, assisted by some Montgomery capital.
 The following are the officers of the company: Colonel Willis Brewer. presi- dent; Dr. w. P. Russell. treasurer; W. P. McGough. secretary and attorney: F. M. Milner. construction engineer.
 It Is expected that when the railroad is completed trains will run direct from Montgomery to Hayneville using the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad between Morgansville and Mont gomery. 4..

The Widow i'm the South.

This is the name of an intensely in- teresting publication by the Smart Set Publishing Company ot New York. About the time the negro. Dr. Crum, was ap- pointed collector of customs in Charles ton and when the people were sore over the Presidents treatment of the people of Indianola. Miss. ''The Widow oth- erwise Teresa Dean. of a New York weekly papers editorial staff. was sent South to write. without prejudice. the real sentiment of the Southern people. She spent the first months of 1903 in South Carolina and her deductions. as she is Northern woman. are balm to the ears She drops telling sentences:
 These appointments may encourage the black race. but they discourage the white. Which of the two is to be con sidered the backbone of the South?'
 Freedom has taught the negro more of license than of liberty"
 The most. conservative men of the South who say that the revolver is un- necessary will add Well. I must admit that every woman who lives out of the city limits should go armed. White women are never safe from the brutal ity of black beasts.'"
 'Tn the cotton mills negroes are never employed because of their irresponsible nature They would ruin the fine. in- anu CApCHSiNO AAA - day."
 ''The existing vanity of the negro. not pride. causes him to revei in a mixed blood. even Booker T., Washington as example. A decent negro is spoiled by a few drops of white blood. and one drop ruins his moral and physical courage. also the muscular strength and endur- ance that are given to the negro of pure blood"
 Child labor has a shockingly bad sound. but not so bad as child hunger. So far as I can judge. the cotton mills have been a haven of refuge for the poor whites of the South. Millions have been spent upon the negroes. trying to make them into silk purses They were con stant consumers and never producers. Nothing has been done by the govern ment for the poor white people of the South. who are much worse off in every way than the negroes. The negro. some how. grows fat on what he picks up. The poor white must work or starve.
 "The mills are roomy and much Of the work is simply waiting for the ma chinerys demand for attention. Prac- tically the children are being taken care of kindly. do not know whether l am for child labor or against it.
 Enough extracts have been gwen 10 show that The Widow" has made in- telligent observations and given time ana thought to investigation of the supJects on which she writes-and that sne IS free from prejudice.

NOT LIKE OTHER CHURCHES.
The New Christian Science Church in New York Cost Seven Hundred
 and Fifty Thousand Dollars.

New Hork Herald.
 Plans are under way for the dedication of the new S75o. 900 building of the First Christian Science Church at Central Park West and Ninety-sixth Street. Hopes are expressed by members of the congregation that Mrs. Mary Baker c. Eddy. founder of Christian Science. may be induced to attend.
 This structure surpasses in cost every other church edihce in New York. except St. Pat rick's and St. Johns cathedrals. Every dollar of the $75o. 900 used In its construction was raised by the congregation before the corner stone laid Inside the arrangements are far from conventional. One feature Is an ele- vator service from the main entrance to the reading room on the top floor. as well as to the two galleries of the main auditorium which has a total seating capacity of $500. Large windows of mulu-colored glass light the au- ditorium. At the west end Is a large dais having the effect of throne. From this the readers of the church will conduct services Immediately over the auditorium is the read ing room and with the small adjoining rooms to be occupied by the Christian Science heal CTS. the effect is much that of the cabin of steamship. with the stathe rooms opening out of 1t. The intert1r decorations of the whole building the most gorgeous money will buy. Lavish use is made of beautifully tinted mar bies. stained glass. stucco and fresco.

TEMPERANCE IN THE SOUTH.
ssIs. the Lower Class of Negroes be Eliminated the Temperance Sem tinent is Stronger in the
 South Than Elsewhere.

WAshtngton POSI-.
 A revision of opinion Is due among the ness paper editors and other citizens of the North. who have for years been nursing the notion that the resident of the South Is in his norman mood and condition only when on intimate terms with the seductive mint juiep or some c,her form of intoxicant. Novelists. maga- zine writer's newspaper correspondents ana raconteurs have left the fixed impression that a portion Of each Southern gentiemans day IS religiousiy devoted to convivai enort 10 encourage the output of the nation's disttieres shc most famous of which located in the Southland In view of this false education the country will no doubt be surprised to learn that there 1000 more saloons m New York city alone than there are III 'ne entire South and that. If the bwer class or negroes be eliminated, the temperance senti- ment is stronger in the South than In any other section of the country The New voice, temperance organ furnishes the following summary of the liquor regulation laws m SIX ,f the Southern States:
 .Texas-one hundred and thirty-six coun- lies have total prohibition; sixty-two counties have partial prohibition and forty-six coun- lies have unrestricted sale of liquors
 s'Tsnnessee-Out of $500 cities and towns In the State only eight have unrestricted sale of iIouors In only twelve of the ninety-six counties can whskey be sold legally.
 'Kentucky--Forty-seven counties have total prohibition: hfty-four have partial prohibi- tiou and eighteen have unrestricted sale Of liquors.
 s'Arkansas-Forty-f four counties have total prohibition: two counties have partial prohibi- fion and twenty-nne have unrestricted sale.
 +Mississippi-Sixty-five counties out of sev- enty-hve have prohibition, and out of 200 legislators all but dozen or less have signified their approval of a referendum for State pro hibition
 'tseorgia-one hundred and three counties out of 37 have prohibition"
 It is interesting to note in this connection that Kentucky and Tennessee. the homes of the largest distilleries of the country, have adopted exceedingly stringent laws relative to the sale and consumption of intoxicating H. quors, and the New Voice is authority for the assertion that the laws in the South are much better enforced. in this respect. than in some of the New England States. where prohibition laws have been the statute boks for half century. The entire South, according to The New voice. is tending toward a stricter en- Sorcement of it's laws regulating the liquor traffic, while in the Northern States. particu- iarly i'm the large cities there is constant Increase in drunkenness, due to lax enforce ment of the laws upon dwellers in the tene- ments 'can-rushers' and the lawless classes That congregate in the hoodum districts. In the South the better class of citizens, always In the majority. make specialy effort to pre- vent the sale of liquor to the negroes and in

First Appearance of Dandruff 6
 Forerunner of Future Badness.

That such is the case has been concIu- sively proven by scientific research.

This can be prevented
 Newbro.s Herpicide kills this dandruff germ, and restores the hair to its natural softness and abundancy.
