Letting of County Poor Farm

The only important matter before the
the Board of Supervisors at its meeting
Thursday Of last week, was the receiving
of bids for the letting of the county poor
farm.
The lowest bid for the keeping of the

Waybright, which was even, that is he
would keep the paupers for what he

addition to what he made on the farm.

The world did not contain a more

Latest Electrical Novelty.

Down near Atlantic City, N. J., there has been in successful operation for several months an experimental trolley road minus the trolley. More astonishment still there is no third rail or storage battery to be seen on this unique bit of road. Without any apparent means of obtaining the all important electric current, motor cars will draw 2OO,00O-pound load on this road. Of course, the secret of 1t all lies in the application of 0 new sys- tenn. Every sixteen feet point of connection is established midway be- tween the rails where metal button projects above box through which passes the powerful current carried along wires in subway. A person might step on this button and one of the rails at the same time and not receive a shock, but, as the car passes over, powerful magnet underneath attracts the button and in raising it establishes the circuit which supplies the motor with enough of the essential fluid to propel the car along the six teen feet of track to another point of contact. The saving of expenses in installation and maintenance over that of the old systems, the freedom from overhead wires which so seri- ously interfere with the fighting of fires in the cities, and the immunity from fatal shocks which it insures are factors which will no doubt bring about its rapid adoption.

In Elijah Kellogg's Church.

One of the "boys" who so admired Elijah Kellogg and were influenced to good by his teaching says that he one night took young lady to church to hear MT. Kellogg preach. The youth had started in a happy frame of mind, due to his pleasure in the society of his pretty companion; but when he was settled in his seat he began to be more and more conscious of the pain from his new and tight-fitting shoes. Final ly, when he could stand it no longer, he slipped the shoes off, unknown to his companion, and was once more com fortable.
 In little while the usual crowd be- gan to pour in. There was demand for seats, and the preacher fixed his gaze on the boys he knew so well.
 "Here,' he called, "John, Thomas, Ezra, Henry and William, came this way and sit on the pulpit steps!"
 The other boys started, but the suf- ferer kept his seat.
 "Come, come" cried the memorable preacher. No hanging back"
 It was impossible to disobey, even when one had "beaued" a young lady to the meeting. So the wretched youth took his shoes in his hand and shuffled up the aisle to the amusement of all observers. It was an experience he was not allowed to forget.

Why They Arc Crackers.

"There seems to be a general igno- rance among northern tourists who wis., it the South as to the real origin of the name cracker" said Henry D.. Schulte, a cigar manufacturer of Tam. pa, Fla, day or two ago. You northerners, too, apply the name to southerners as if 1t actually meant a 'hayseed of the Uncle Eben species. 1t is true that the name really means a rustic or dweller in the backwoods, but 1t is used by us southerners to- day, of no matter what social stand ing, from the keeper of potato patch to bank presidents, lawyers, ministers, doctors, and so on, as meaning simply a citizen of the south.'
 "The name originated in Charleston many years before the war Charles. ton was then, as she is to-day, the center of the traffic for South Carolina and parts of Georgia. The wagons poured into her streets from all outly- ing settlements and the backwoods. The teamsters for the wagons were generally equipped with a stout whip made of thongs of rawhide plaited into a round lash. Of course, the roads were boggy and rough and the streets had no pavements, so the horses, mules and oxen had to have an incessant cracking in their ears to 'perten 'em up'-hence the word cracker '"-New York Globe.

DUG THEIR OWN GRAVES.
Lord Kitchener's Treatment of Spies in
 the Suakin Campaign.

the Suakin Campaign.
 Lord Kitchener. who is now com mandlng the British army in India, has a remarkable knack of picking up foreign languages and native dialects. In Egypt he proved himself able to learn the local dialect of the fellaheen within few months. He was fond of disguising himself in native costume and mixing with the people.
 Veterans of the Suakin campaign tell of an incident which illustrates this rare gift of Kitchener's and also his unrelenting discipline.
 The British were throwing up earth works, on which many of the natives were employed. One day two strange fellaheen came into camp and offered their services. This was considered suspicious, but in answer to all in- quiries they protested their loyalty to the British cause. They were set to work with shovels. Presently they were joined by another native, with whom they became intimate during the day. Towards evening the third na- tive disappeared.
 Soon afterward the two strangers were summoned to headquarters, where Gen. Kitchener received them.
 "You are spies," he said briefly. They were about to deny the accusa- tion, but they looked at him and gasp ed. The British general was the na- tive trench digger with whom they had been plotting treason during the day.
 "Take them out" said Kitchener to the guards, "and set them to work to dig a hole big enough for two"
 This was done. When they had com pleted their work the two spies were shot and buried in the grave they had themselves dug.

Millionaire and His Bank.

A well-known millionaire hastily en- tered few days ago the bank where he carried large deposit. He had left his pocket-book home and wanted cash. The bank was sorry, but could not accommodate him. It was past o'clock, the vaults were closed and the executive staff had gone home.
 The subordinate officers held quick council, and one of them thus describ- ed the result:
 eve piled up every cent we had in our clothes. then we went through the clerks and had every man in the establishment turn his pockets inside out. The customer was many times a millionaire and could secure from us any day whatever sum he needed. But the time locks were set, and the best we could do was $50 in cash. He stuffed the roll in his pocket and hur- riedly went on his way. We did not even ask for memorandum, knowing that he detested details, and that sub sequent word with his secretary was all that would be needed to reim- purse the bank"
 The incident nRy be taken as illus trating, first, the limit which is drawn in the control of banks of great filian- ciers, of which so much has been late ly heard; second, the advisability of presenting checks before p. m., and, third. the absorbing power of great wealth and credit over the surplus cash of small capitalists York Even ing Post.

Dr. Van Dykes Vitality.

This vitality is a rare quality. Most men live in one set of faculties; Dr. Van Dyke lives in all his faculties He thinks clearly closely, searchingly; he feels quickly and profoundly; his will is virile and masterful. Hence his ability to speak directly and authori- tatively in verse, in fiction, in the es- say, in criticism, and in the sermon. Most men live in one sphere of action; Dr. Van Dyke lives in two spheres. Hence his first hand knowledge of na- ture, of books and of men. He has a native and individual lyric note; he has written fiction which is full of flavor and touched with passion; he is one of the most effective preachers of his time; and he can cast fly with the best. His energy backs every gift with vigorous impulse, and his steadi- ness of will keeps his impulses in the happiest working relations. He has the ability to start at full speed; and he is always in easy command not only of his resources, but of himself.- Century,
