GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
col. RUFUS Il. LESTER.

Waynesboro True Citizen: This
veteran congressman will stand for re-
election from the First district and he
will get the unanimous support of
Burke county. Burke never goes back
on her worthy sons and Col. Lester is
one of the manner born. He has rela-
tives by the score and friends by the
hundred in Burke who have stood by
him and will continue to do so. And
why shouldn't he be returned? His
long service and experience in Congress
are almost indispensable to Georgia and
particularly the First district. He can
protect our best ports in the appropri-
atoms better than anyone else we could
send on account of his standing in the
Committee on Rivers and Harbors. In
that committee he stands first of the
Democrats and is one of the most pop
ular men in the House. Indeed we
could not afford to lose Lester when 1t
is necessary to provide for the port of
Savannah, the most important in the
South, not excepting New Orleans,
without mentioning Brunswick, another
very important outlet to Georgia COM
merce which he has materially aided.
Always attentive and faithful to his
duties he has represented the state and
his district we'll and ably, and Burke
county is glad always to give-this un-
wavering Democrat her support. So
will the First district.

the water was we'll aerated. This
stream, from sixty to one hundred
yards wide, is clear and full of rapids
and rifles.
We used Japanese tackle-horsehair
line and horsehair leader Che latter
consisting of one strand only, a bam-
boo rod and most delicate palmer tied
on a small barbless hook. The rod is
decidedly good, and, weight for weight,
is stronger and a better caster than
our jointed rod. 1T rarely weighs over
four ounces-mine weighed about two
but the line is practically worthless
for casting as we understand the term.
The fly is perfect, but the hook lacks
strength, and the fish when hooked
may easily detach himself in cur
rent or an eddy or by fouling the line
We all know how it Is done from our
experience with pnhook and thread in
the brooks at home.
The Japanese, however, have another
method of fishing, which may be as
new to some of our readers as it was
to me. 1t Is quite successful. They
catch one fish in any way they can,
and then fasten the line securely
through the roof of the mouth and out
at the top of the upper jaw, well In
front of the eyes, and then attach
through the body of the fish, not far
in front of the tail, a horsehair TO
which is tied a -pronged barb
less hook, which trails in line with the
fish and a few inches behind, while it
Is slowly worked up the stream by the
fisherman. The theory is that other
fishes see the captive moving along
as though feeding, or perhaps spawn
ing, will pursue it and become fmpaled
on the hooks. In point of fact that
does happen, as / saw a Chinaman take
two fine trout in this manner.
Our success with the flies was poor.
We got thirteen or fourteen finger
lings, but we saw the fish we wished
to Identify caught in fairly good num-
Der by the Chinese fishing with de-
coys.

We were perched near the summit

hump in the great expanse of Sails

turf of the downs fell away in a
plumb curve to the cultivation that
broke it into patches of green-gray
root crops and purple pillow lands. The
misty country beyond stretched in
broad levels to the woods five miles
away, woods that had passed from the
pafnted glories of the autumn to their
sober winter dress of grays and
blacks, speckled with dark green

The Plan of Campaign.
Now, this was the. plan Of campaign
by which it was hoped to accomplish
the death of many hares. Along the
ridge were set seven hurdles, of thick
waffle work. Some sixty yards were
between each station in this quarter
mile of death. Behind them lurked
the seven men who had come forth to
slay: gun in hand they sat on their
shooting sticks, each with his loader
at his elbow bearing his second gun
On the right flank law a wind

a difficulty and that he, Lafayette
Clemens, had used brass knucks or
other dangerous weapon in infiicting
the fatal injuries upon Smith. Notice
was given of an appeal to the Supreme

pending this appeal, Judge Wall in

the downs, broken only by an occa-

with hares and the horses strain at

their cigarettes and walk off to the
