piece of social advice which age can
give to youth. A man who never asks

What is the secret of the art of in

pathies, which lie at the root of every

in it is directness. The art of asking

Grace In ola Forests.

Some trees are more graceful than
others. The elm and oak are noted for
their perfect and graceful form. All
their branches appear to be perpetually
moving, stirred by every wind that
blows. and the same may be said Of
the pine. The graceful movements Of
its limbs, the signing sounds of its
stems and evergreen needles, send forth
a solemn symphony. Everything con-
tributes serene grace and simplicity to
old forests.

FISHING and
FISHERMEN

Bass fishing during the past several
days has been exceptionally good. But,
oddly enough, the best catches have
been made at night. on the highwater
slack. Last Saturday night no less
than fourteen channel bass-all beau
ties-were taken at the Potato Point
drop. off Lazaretto bridge. Several
boats were out for the night-fishing
The one making the largest catch was
that of Privates Battle, Kerr and Eads,
of the Fifth Company, Coast Artillery,
from Fort Screven. These fishermen
succeeded in landing seven OF the big
fellows. One of the soldier fishermen
of this record catch of the season thus
describes how the thing was done:
We fished for almost an hour with
out a nibble. Then suddenly there was
a strike on one of the lines. After ten
minutes hard work a large bass was
brought to the side of the boat. But
alas! the hook Strengthened, and away,
10 the deep went the bass. Fifteen
minutes later the performance was re-
peated. This time il was the line of
Private Eads that led the innocent to
slaughter. But the line broke. 1t was
with difficulty that the other two held
the now frantic fisherman in the boat;

ventory OF effects was taken and the
result was extraordinarily lines, a

But displaying the true instinct of
soldiers, they determined to fish it on
that line. if it took all summer Now
comes the peculiar part of the story.
IF at first you don't catch fish,
Fish! Fish. some more!"
Within the next thirty minutes these
soldiers, who brought the evidence home
with them, caught seven fine bass, av-
eraging thirty pounds each. Five of
the largest were prepared and made a
sumputuous dinner for the Fifth Com
pany."
Those who have fshed for these large
bass can appreciate the excitement at
tending such a catch Of these fighters.
Another boat. on the same drop and
on the same tide, caught five of the big
fellows In this boat were Mr. Rob
bins, Mr.. Sanders, Mr.. Baker and one
or two others. OF the party, but In an
other boat, were Messrs. Gradot, Fret
well and Luke, but their luck was not
so good. A third boat got two bass,

the picture was a man-eater shark
that had been captured in st. Catha-
rine's sound; but in all probability the
TenneSseean is still telling the people
at home" about the remarkable
wampuses that are caught in the salt
water near Savannah.
This is true tale of two men in
boat. They were bass fishing at a
favorite drop near here. One of them
had $50 German silver reel with
drag and click, a SO Irish linen line.
SIS blackheart rod, hooks worth 10
cents each. snelled on gut, and swiv-
eled sinkers worth 10 cents each. His
tackle as he wet his line represented
an investment of $3.50. The other
man had fifty feet of cotton cord,
value 10 cents; two iron wire hooks,
value cents, and a chunk of lead,
value u cent; total 1871 cents for the
rig. They fished on the same drop,
from the same boat, with the same
kind of bait.
If the reader imagines this is go
ing to be one of the old-fashioned
fishing stories, in which the pin-hook
fisherman has all the luck he is DOOM
ed to disappointment. For this is a
true story.
Fisherman No. /, with the elegant
tackle, had strike, and after twenty
minutes of nerve-trying play landed
bass that tipped the scale at 1914
pounds. Fisherman No. also had a
strike, and after a squabble of posi-
bly, ten seconds got his fish to the
gunwale, only to see it give a ire
mendous ffounce, snap the line and
disappear. II wouldn't have missed
that fish for $50!" he swore. And yet
he was depending on 121a-cent tackle
Now it isn't necessary to put
$4S,40, or anything like that sum, into
good bass rig; but the fisherman
who expects to take big game fish on
a 12la-cent rig is more than apt to be
disappointed.

did you know" said a tackle deal
er, that the finest fishing tackle in the
world is sold to and used by the
sportsmen fishermen of Savannah? 1t
is fact that can be proved at any
time. Savannah fishermen pay more
for their hooks than the fishermen of
any city along the coast. You can get
hooks here that cannot be bought else
where south of New York--not even
in Baltimore or Philadelphia, because
the fishermen of those cities will not
pay the price for them. They cost
from 10 to Is cents each, whereas COM
mon hooks of the same sizes can be
bought at those prices per dozen. But,
oh my the difference, The slap-dash
fisherman can't see any difference, OF
course, and ought not pay over six to
ten cents a dozen for any hooks he
uses; they're good enough for him.
But the real fisherman, who knows
tackle when he sees and tests 1t, finds
all The difference in the world. The
hooks ! have in mind may develop
elasticity, but they never straighten.
1t is impossible to straighten one, even
with hammer. 1t may be broken by
heavy pounding, but not Strengthened.
A sproat hook of that class will land
a channel bass; that's why discerning
fishermen are willing to pay for one of
them the price of a dozen common and
unreliable hooks. l don't mind say
ing these best hooks are not made in
America. They are made in England
and must be imported America leads

THE TAX LEVY.

THE county commissioners
have fixed the general state and
county tax levy for the year OF
1904, at thirty-one mills ON the
one dollar valuation, which is
equivalent to $40 mills on the
$40 valuation or $40 on the
500 valuation. This is a raise
OF four mills on the levy of last
year and the year before and
may be surprise to some cause
the board to come in for some
sharp criticism. However, in or
der to appreciate the motive of
the board in making the raise it
is necessary to examine the new
levy as compared with that OF
last year. Following is a table
showing the levies in mills on the
