The Most Powerful SearChIight.

The most powerful searchlight ever
designed or built was recently finished
at the famous Schuckert works at
Nuremberg, Germany, where the man
ufacture of giant searchlights has been
made a speciality, says the New York
Times. Some idea Of the Illuminating
power of the great instrument may be
gained from the fact that if it were
possible to set it upon hill or tower
800 feet high it's rays could be detect
ed from a distance of nearly eighty-five
miles. It's candle power, at 100000
600. is so great as to be almost incom-
prehensible in figures. When the
searchlight for the Heligoland light
house was turned out at the Schuckert
works some time ago 1t was consider
ed a wonder, but its candle power is
only 100000. Negotiations are in
progress for securing this enormous
instrument for one OF the United
States lighthouses.

Good deeds they've daily done.

RipeDing for Heavens bright home
We're thankful for past mercies, Lord.

Oh, bless them year by year.

And when this life is DER
In sweet reunion may we all abide

FAMINE AND FEVER.
Malaria Kills Starving People by
the Thousands.

A special to the San Antonio,
Tex, Express from Mazatlan, Mexico,
says:
"Late reports from the northern
part of this state prove that fearful
conditions exist there. Deaths range
from twenty-five to forty per day,
owing to starvation and malaria. In
many instances the dead are not given
burial. it is said, but are thrown into
open bitches and canals.
The authorities are unable to cope
with the situation.
Provisions have been scarce in north
Snialoa for some time, owing to the
destruction of crops by torrential rains.
The epidemic of malaria is due to the
rains. Starvation and malaria are re-
ported from the towns of Ahome, Mi
rador, Mochichaui, Los Mechis, San
Miguel and Higuera de Saragosa.
Money to provide food, medicine and
medical attention is being raised here
and in other places of tho state.

BRYAN COMING TO GEORGIA
WILL DELIVER HIS FAMOUS LECTURE,
1.-THE PRINCE OF PEACE, IN MACON.
1.-The Most Loved and Admired Democrat
of the World" Will Be Given an
Enthusiastic Reception.

1t is highly probable that William
J. Bryan will lecture in Macon
in the early part of the new year, and
the Macon News says this distinguish
ed American can rest assured that he
will be greeted by an immense and en-
thusiastic audience. The people will
gather to hear him because he is "the
most loved and admired democrat in
the world today" and because he is
the most eloquent and popular of all
living orators. Mr.. Bryan has large
number of personal friends in Macon
who will give him most cordial
greeting, and practically the entire
populace will hail him gladly.
The subject of his lecture will be
"The Prince of Peace" This is a
most charming topic. IL affords high
aod broad realm into which Mr.. Bryan
can soar on wings OF Hottest thought
and purest eloquence.
1t is quite apropos to quote here
what Rev. Sam Jones recently said
about Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Jones Is bird
of passage, here today and gone to-
morrow. He is travelling continually,
from one end of the continent to the
other, and is in position to speak ad-
visedly. Moreover, he has not been in
sympathy with Mr.. Bryan's financial
views, aud not in accord with some
other of his political ideas. Therefore,
the tribute which Rev. Sam Jones
pays Mr.. Bryan does not come from a
partisan.
Mr.. Jones among other things said:
son my tours since the landslide of
two weeks ago find that Mr.. Bryan is
the most loved and admired democrat
in the world today. This fact 10 sig
nifcant, and will have much to do in
shaping future events in the United
States. This election seems
to have demonstrated that democracy
does not stand for conservatism and
partnership with eastern plutocracy
and monied aristocracv. Mr.. Bryan 10
today the embodiment of principles,
and also the leader of the sentiments,
which genuine democracy will ever
champion, and on which they must
win on if victory ever ONES to them
again in national politics. He is the
great commoner, the Gladstone of
America, and stands easily the leading
champion of the people: against ev-
erything that tends to undermine good
government and for everything that
means liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. If Mr.. Bryan shall wisely make
The issues and faithfully advocate the
principles of true democracy un-
swerved by capital and unemOarrassed
by populistic therories then he will in
the next four years either put himself
in position to capture the presidency or
else he will be in position to pick the
winner, and if he is the patriot | now
believe him to be he would as soon
pick the winner as to win the prize for
himself"
