A GROWING INDUSTRY.

that a still for extracting turpentine
from the pine wood by a new process

the various phases which have
thus far presented themselves, It
is doubtful IL the public generally

Georgians at the Senate yesterday
were entertained by an anecdote about
Rev. A. B. Finley, postmaster at
Douglass, who has just been nominat-
ed for Congress on the Republican tick
ct, says the Washington Post. 1t seems
that Mr.. Finley's political pathway has
not been always strewn with roses.
Not long ago he attended a county
convention in that section of the EN-
pire State of the South. He was the
only white man present. The negroes
had everything their own way, but
MIR. Finley had something on his mind,
and he clamored loudly for recogni-
ton. Speaker Reed, In his palmiest
days as an autocrat in the chair, could
not have been more oblivious of Mr..
Finley than was the presiding officer
of that county convention.
At last, when the postmaster, poll
tician, and divine had long disturbed
the convention by his appeals to the
chair, the presiding officer said:
"Mistour Finley the Publican party
am divided into three classes. Fust,
dar am de leaders. Den comes de
middle men, den de followahs. Yo' am
still a followah. Please keep yo' seat"
But since that county convention was
held Mn. Finley. as the Georgians
noted, has been promoted to middle
man and leader, and in this campaign
he will carry the standard for the OBJ
livious chairman who made him sit
down.

A True Criticism.

George Dalton Morgan, who has
brought from the Orient a Japanese
bride, told the other day story about
the Japanese seafighter, Admiral Uriu,
says the Buffalo Enquirer.
I'm Tokio.'' he said, Admiral Uriu
is regarded as a kind Of Haroun al
Raschid. They declare there that he
investigates personally sometimes
even in disguise-every detail of the
workings of the Japanese navy. Hence
many odd adventures befan him.
Once Admiral Uriu got wind of GER
tain complaints that had been made
against the soup served on a torpedo
boat in his squadron. He shot from his
flagship in a launch one day at meal
time and boarded this torpedo boat
just as two sailors came from the
kitchen carrying a huge and steaming
caldron.
"'Haltv the admiral shouted. set
that caldron down..
1.-THE sailors, with wondering looks,
obeyed.
NOW he said, bring me a spoon
AN officer hurried forward.
"'But admiral he began.
"'Never mind, sir. There's a COM
plant from this boat and I'm going
to settle it now, said Admiral Uriu.
He lifted the lid from the caldron,
ladled up a spoonful of it's contents,
and after blowing on the liquid, he
swallowed it. Then he made a wry
face.
"'You call this soup?' he exclaimed.
why it is nothing but dirty water
"'Yes, sir said one of the sailors,
we have just been scrubbing the gall
ley floors.'''
