Despite the threatening weather of
the early afternoon and the heavy
rains Of the latter part a fair-sized
crowd turned out to watch the races
at the Savannah Yacht Club yester-
day afternoon. There were a number
of ladies among the spectators and
the greatest interest was evinced in
the races.
Though the rains caused the races
to be late in starting, yet when they
did begin the neat little river craft
made good time and all kept we'll
punched together. The four-oared
scull race was one of the features of
the afternoon. despite the fact the
race was won by six good lengths.
The music Of the band added greatly
to the pleasure of the afternoon.
Shortly after 4 o'clock, the time an
nounced for the starting, the starting
gun was fired. Within a few mo-
ments the river was filled with the
trim contestants, all ready for the
race. AS the boats Unanswered for
positions that would give them the
benefit of the tide, the Sailing Com
mEttee noticed a heavy squat APP
preaching. 1t was decided to hold the
race back until this had passed, and
announcement to this effect was made
through the megaphone.
An instant later it began raining.
The rain was accompanied by a high
south wind, and not until after
o'clock had the weather moderated
sufficiently to allow of starting the
races. Shortly after that hour, how
ever, the starting gun was again fired
and few minutes later the first race
of the afternoon was on.

LACEY EAvoRs ILLINOIS.

A Washington special says: Il be
lieve the vice-presidentia nominee
ON the republican ticket should come
from Illinois, as that state is doubtful
from a republican standpoint" said
Representative Lacey of Iowa. "Chi.
cago is badly misgoverned, and there
il danger that the element now in
control there may carry the state.
Speaker Cannon is the best man in
Illinois for running mate for Presi.
dent Roosevelt, but as speaker he
will not accept. There is no other
good timber in the state. Senator
Hanna would add great strength to
the ticket, if he would consent to
run for second place. 1t is not prob
able he will do so and the next best
man is Senator Fairbanks, of Indi-
ana. If the nomination goes to Indi.
ana, he will be the nominee. While
I do not care to go into details re-
garding Illinois, it is a doubtful state
in my Judgment. Every one knows
serious factional fights exist, and it is
necessary to harmonic them"

WORTH THINKING OVER.

John J. Curl in an excellent article
in the Davis County Republican on
buying of home merchants, says:
'Our town or county will not per-
NIT one of our own citizens to start
out with few dollars worth OF
groceries or dry goods without taking
out license, but on the other hand
those large concerns out of the state
are allowed to ship in their goods or
bring their stores to us as they call
it, and use the money to build up Chi
cago and keep our home store rooms
for a haven of refuge for cold days
where we can congregate to tell
stories and talk politics. l have not
one penny interest in any business
in Bloomfield or any other town. But
as a taxpayer do not like to tear
down our own homes to build up 9TH
er towns.
Every dollar sent away for goods
will to that extent cripple our own
business men and every failure we
have is sure to hurt the standing of
the farmers as no one will want to

lection while they are equally help

Steps should be taken to see that ev-
cry dollars worth ,of goods landing
at our different stations should be
assessed just the same as our mer-
chants are, whose fires we warm by
and whose owners we call on for
church aid and all charitable pur.
poses.
I'VE also flee to our home mer.
chants when we have some market

use in their business; theirs is strict

INVENTED BY IOWA MAN.

1t was an Iowa man, Abner Peeler
of Lehigh, who invented the first
workable model of the typewriter
He was something of a genius who
was always tinkering at some new
device. Most people who knew him
regarded him as a crank on the sub
jet of inventions. When he pro
duced the modern writing machine
his neighbors looked upon it as a
clever toy, but nothing more. Abner
Thought differently and took his mod
Ell TO washington to secure a patent
He exhibited it there for some time
but was ridiculed by everyone fol
thinking that such a machine was OF
could be of any service. He was re
fused a patent and returned to LIE
high. Not long after Peeler's return
to this state patent was secured by
another man on a machine copied
iron the one exhibited in Washing
On by Abner Peeler, of Lehigh, in
ventor. This patent was afterwards
sold by the man to the Remington
Arms Company, afterward the Rem
ington Typewriter Company. This
is the story sent out from Lehigh, land
more than likely it is true. Peelel
died there eight years ago in very
modest circumstances.

BIBLE STUDY.

The American Bible Society will
unite with the British and Foreign
Bible Society in the observance OF
the centenary Of the British society
on March 7,1904. The worldwide OBJ,
serVance Of Sunday, March 6, as Bible
Sunday is proposed, and a joint ap
peal to all denominations throughout
the world will soon be issued.
The British and American societies
exist to translate the Holy Scriptures
into the various languages of the
world, and circulate them without
note or comment, free of charge in
cases of necessity, but otherwise al
prices, irrespective of the Original
cost, which bring them within easy
reach of the poor. During the past
hundred years the British Society
has distributed more than 10000, 00(
volumes in about $40 languages, and
at total expenditure of $4,000, 900
The needs of the nations are SAID
to be still unsupplied. If al the
books the society has ever issued
could be distributed among mankind
today, eight people would have tc
join at each copy, and in each grouI
Of eight, two or three would not un
derstand the language.
The observance Of Bible Sunday
will not be limited to England or II
the British Isle. On the Continet o.
Europe the day will be kept by hun
dreds of congregations, representing
Lutheran, Reformed, and WaldensiaI
churches, and also in many centerl
where evangelical missions have beef
established from abroad. From Al
RIGA come pledges of cooperation
from missionaries along the mort
coast,t throughout Egypt, the Soudan
and the eastern seaboard. The ma

THOUGHTS FOR WAGE FARMERS

According to the last census there
were 512,734 manufacturing plants in
the United States, employing 5,719,.
1877 people to whom were paid in
wages $2,735, 430,S40. The output of
these factories was $13,039, 279, 566.
New York heads the list with 1858
plants, Pennsylvania second with ST.
1856. Iowa had then 1889, and en-
ployed 64,217 laborers. and paid in
wages over tewnty-eight million dol
lars. This state has more factories
and employs more people in them
than all the other states, except New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, New Jersey, Missouri,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan.
A protective tariff makes it posi-
BILE for Iowa factories to live and Of
fer employment to 64,217 people.
Were the goods created by cheap
labor admitted free of duty into this
country there would be fewer local
factories in this state and fewer
wage earners in them These are
thoughts for laboring men to ponder
over when free traders want their
votes.

RAILROAD Y. M. G. A.

The International Committee of the
Young Mems Christian Association
has reported that the erection of the
new buildings during the year of 1903
has been the largest in any single
year of the history of the railroad de.
partment. The new structures in.
cIude a building devoted strictly to
the use of men in street railway
work,as we'll as sixteen well-equipped
buildings for railroad men generally
A pamphlet issued recently by the
committee says: "The fact that this
number Of buildings has been secured
is an indication of the satisfactory
substantial and permanent growth
and Of the favor of the railroad Off
Gals and companies The growing
interest of railroad men is indicated
by an increase, during the year, OF
over twelve thousand in the member

that additional railroad systems have
during the past year, committed
themselves to heavy cooperation
with this movement. AS in the past
the cost of construction of buildings
and their maintenance has beer
shared both by railroad men and the
corporations"
