Uncle Mingo on the Woes
Of the Prosecuted Debtor.
BY w. T. WILLIAMS.

A pair of peripatetic musicians with
banjo and mandolin regaled the guests
at the restaurant with sundry selec-
tons during dinner.
Among other songs the vocalist sang
the old one concerning the troubles of
the prosecuted debtor, and he rendered
it about as follows:

Wot is you erbout, John.
If you don't say out at once,
You'll make de Teller doubt, John.

what Chinese Names Mean.

From the Boston Transcript
A few definitions of Chinese geo.
graphical prefiXes and suffixes may be
of service in calculating the nomencla-
ture of current war news. First. pre-
fixes: Ia, as in Taku, means great.
and also, as in Siao-Ping- Thou, means
small. Pei or pc, nan, tung and 81 are
respectively north. south, east and
west. Thus the Pei-Ho is the North
river, etc. Shang and hal are upper
and lower. Pal. hei and whang are
white, black and yellow. Suffixes are
more numerous and familiar. Kiang,
no tchuan, ula. muren and tohu each
and all mean river, Thus Yalu Kiang
and Lao Ho are simply Yalu river
and Lao river. Shut kou. thsuan,
XIII. gol and ussu are unfamiliar terms,
meaning a brook or small river. Hu.
nor and ONO mean lake, as in the
well known Lob Nor and Kosso Col
Pc, tse and ten mean a small lake or
swamp, or a town situated near such
a place. Hal means sea; thus Whang-
Hal is the Yellow sea. Thung-Hai is
the Eastern sea and Nan Hal is the
Southern sea. Tao and sometimes shan
means island, but shan more often
means a mountain range. Ling is
pass over a mountain range.

port developed. there being some buy
ing on the reaction theory. However,
there seemed TO be little in the situa-
ton to promote higher prices, although
there was some talk of an over-extend-
ed short interest. The big traders were
agreed that overselling Of the market
alone could cause an advance In prices.
The trade was moderately active. The
crop reports from the belt attracted
some attention. While some places
complained Of boil weevil, most Of the
Southwestern sections stated that thus
far the pest has done little harm, and
that the talk of probable extensive
operations later on is being exaggerat-
ed by the cotton market spectators.
The New Orleans interests sold mod
erately and Wall street houses had
fewer orders than heretofore. The for
eign houses did a scattered business
on both sides of the account but usu-
ally the orders went to the bear side.
Spot cotton was steady, with a small
demand and small offerings.

INSPECTION BUREAU
HAS BEGUN ITS WORK.
Chief Inspector for savannah Is w
IL. Norris.

Chief Inspector for savannah Is W.
II. Norris.
The South Atlantic Inspection Bu-
reau has been formally organized and
recognized by the Georgia Interstate
Sawmill Association, and the chief in
spector for the Jacksonville port is now
at work.
The many good effects to result from
the service of the inspection bureau
are best appreciated and understood
by men actively engaged In the lumoer
business. The establishment or the ou-
reau is by the sawmill men OF Georgl Ia
and Florida, who sell their lunhoer
at the ports of Jacksonville, Fernan-
dina. Savannah and Brunswick. 50
far as the sale of their product as
concerned they are not interested IN
the inspection further than at these
ports. But the lumber merchants VINO
Inv at these ports are looking forward
to a more far-reaching good as re-
suit of the uniform inspection.
They do not hope to accomplish upon
the beginning the ultimate good wnich
they believe the uniformity of port
inspector will result In. 1t is Thought
that after the port inspection. has be-
come established, and when the lad
ings of all cargoes bear the official in
spection stamp of the South Atlantic
Inspection Bureau, that this inspection
will be accepted as final, obviating the
inspection upon receipt at destination.
A feature of the bureau inspection
will be that non-members OF the asso-
citation will be permitted TO
have the inspection of the ou-
reau upon the payment of :
a
Inspector making the inspection and re-
turning same, with the official stamp
of the bureau. Each deputy inspector
will be licensed by the association
upon recomme ndation of the chief in
spector of the port, but the license will
be made revocable upon cause, deter
mined by the chief inspector.
The board of inspection, as recently
appointed by the association, is COM
posed of w Frazier Jones and Samuel
A. Sizer for Jacksonville. F. E. Way
mer and Thomas Bowling for Fernan-
dina, though Mr.. Bowling has since
resigned; NJ F. Amorous and William
B.. StillwelI and ]. H. Garbutt of Sa-
vannah.
Prior to the establishment of the bu
reau OF inspection the association had
two inspectors employed, one for Geor-
gia and one for Florida, subject to the
beck and call of the members to set
tie differences on inspection. These
men will be retained, one being APP
pointed chief inspector at Jacksonville
and the other chief inspector at Sa-
vannah. w B. Chaplin will be located
at Jacksonville and w. H. Norris at
Savannah The other two have not
been named, but the two have already
begun work in a preliminary way,
though no deputies have as yet been
appointed. AS soon as stamps which
are now being made are completed,
deputies will begin work.
