 T pity no man because he has to work. If he is worth his salt he will work. envy the man who has a work worth doing and does it well; and surely no men alive are more worthy of admira- ton than these men to whom it Is given to build up giant commonwealths like this. It Is the fact of doing the work we'll that counts, not the kind of work, as long as that work is honorable"

THREADED ON THEIR TOES.
Bowen's Words Cause Diplomats tc
 Enter a Protest.

Washington, May 20.-Because Sir Michael Herbert and other representa- tives of the powers took exception to cer- tain foot notes included in the blue book on Venezuela the State Department has assured them that the book was prepar- ed by MT. Bowen and is not to be con- sidered an official publication.
 The note to which the representatives of the powers took exception appears at the foot of one of the exchanges where MT. Bowen adds a word in explanation to the effect that the above note was dictated last night to the British and Italian Ambassadors and the German Minister" and by them cabled to their respective governments. The diplomats concerned objected to the word ''dictated'' because they felt that the inference might be drawn that they were taking instruc- tions from venezuela's plenipotentiary. The German Ambassador has refrained from the controversy altogether.

SWIFT CRAFT
ON TYBEE BEACH.
Summer Residents Have Boat That

nave Boat Th0f
Is Match for Automobiles.
A new boat made its appearance at
Tybee yesterday and attracted a great
deal of attention, more than has been
given to any craft that has been seen.
on or of the island for a long time
The new craft is what is known as
a beach boat. and is a light frame
work mounted on rubber tired wheels
and rugged with mast and sail, the
wind furnishing the motive power as
is the case with other boats.
rms boat, the first of its kind ever
seen at Iybee, was built by number
OF young men who are spending the
summer at one of Bohan's cottages. IT
was built from plans secured by Mr..
Allan Sweat while in the North two
years ago The frame work of the
boat weighs but sixty pounds, yet the
craft VIII carry eight passengers. The
mast is 10 feet high and the sail.

any position that an ordinary boat

The gentlemen who built and own
the new craft. among them Messrs.

than pleased with their creation, and
expect to have much enjoyment out
of it. Because of its speed. however
they have ruled that no passengers
shall be taken who have not an acct

Mr. Allan Sweat and Master Daven-
port Bryan, both of whom will spend
some time at Tybee soon, are building
similar beach boats and in a short
time there will be al least three of the
craft on the island, possibly fleet, as
they are easy of construction and af-
ford plenty Of amusement.

LEAVING FOR CAMP
NINETEEN SOUTH GEORGIA COM
PANIES GO TO GRIFFIN.
PITCH TENTS TOMORROW.
LOCAL OFFICERS AND MEN INTER-
ESTED IN NEWS OF CAMP.

Some Line May Be Had on the Per-
North Georgia Towns Will Be
Represented at the Camp, Al
though the Tents Are Pitched on
North Georgia sOiI-Expected the
Attendance Will BE Large-En-
campment of First and Third Reg
iments Come Next.
The first of the several encampments
to be held by the various regiments of
the Georgia State Troops within the
next month will begin at Griffin to-
morrow, when the Second and Fourth
regiments begin their tour of duty.
Because the encampment is held at
Griffin many are under the impression
that the two regiments are composed
of companies from North Georgia. To
the contrary there are nineteen South
Georgia commands, and but four North
Georgia companies, which will, with
the government regulars from Fort
Mcpherson, comprise the camp.
The South Georgia cities, taking
Macon as the dividing point which
will participate in the encampment
are, besides Macon, where there are
three companies; Americas, Valdosta,
Columbus, Tennille, Hawkinsville,
Thomaston, Perry, Eastman, Fort
Gaines, Albany, Waycross, Cuthbert,
Dawson, cambridge, and Thomasville.
The North Georgia companies are from
Jackson, GAINESVILLE, Forsyth, and
Griffin.
The camp will begin at o'clock in
the afternoon, and will last until the
following Tuesday, at noon. 1t is re-
ported that the citizens of Griffin have
everything in readiness, and will en-
deavor to make the members of the two
regiments have a right royal time in
their midst. On Saturday it has been
arranged to have the Legislature visit
the camp on a tour of inspection.
The percentage of enlisted men who
will attend the encampment win be
large, for the reason that most of the
companies composing the two regiments
are from districts where there is
great deal of farming done Just at
this time many of the farmers are wait
ing on their crops and it will be con-
venient for the farmer-soldiers to get
off for a week. At the same time, the
observation-disclosures, and all others who
are indirectly effected by the actions
of the farming classes, will be in posi-
tions to take a short vacation.
News of the encampment will be
awaited with interest by the local of
flcers. Many of them are anxious to
know what per cent. of the enlisted
strength of the several commands will
be represented in the camp, so that
they may get an idea of how many men
they may safely count on. This is par
ucularly important, since each COM
pany will be required to furnish it's
own provisions.
Just six days after the breaking of
camp at Griffin, the members of the
First and Third Regiments will begin
to move on Augusta, where they will
encamp for seven days Both regiments
have been actively engaged in prepara-
ton for the trip and it is expected
that they will make an excellent i'm
preston on the people of Augusta.
