WHEN A BATTLESHIP SINKS
THE CREW ARE CAUGHT LIKE
RATS IN A TRAP.
FOur-Fifths of Those on Board are
Usually Lost. Horrors That
Beggar Description.

With plenty of clear water under her
keel, clouds of smoke pouring from
her great tunnels and trailing off for
miles behind, huge white "bone in
her mouth" and choppy pillows mark
ing the course over which she has
passed, engines throbbing, flags hut-
tering in the breeze and great guns
frowning from their turrets, the mod
ern battleship is magnificent, awe
inspiring spectacle.
She displaces, perhaps, $4,000 tons
of water and is able to hurl herself
forward at the rate of twenty miles an
hour. She carries artillery capable
of throwing projectiles of sufficient
weight and power to annihilate, if
properly directed, an entire fleet in
the space of few minutes. She car
ries submerged torpedo tubes, com
plete waterworks and lighting systems,
wireless telegraph apparatus, refrig-
Grating plant, fully equipped hospital
and nearly a thousand officers and
men. She costs millions of dollars,
and other millions are required to
keep her in commission.
But when disaster Overtakes the
battleship the power of her great en-
gines, the strength of her armOr nor
the might of her frOwning guns can
not sustain her. The floating mine,
the invisible torpedo or her own
magazines may bring about her I'M
doing.
And when the battleship goes down
the attendant horrors beggar descrip-
ton. Her crew are caught like rats
IN a trap. Scores are killed by ex-
plosions of the magazines and hum
dreds are held between decks as the
great floating fortress settles to the
bottom. The exits are narrow, and
after mighty explosives have done
their work the time in which safety
NAV be sought is short. OF those who
leap into the water many are caught
In the mighty whirlpool produced by
the settling of the ship, and a review
of battleship disasters shows that from
one-half to four-fifths of those on
board are usually lost.
The nations of the earth have de-
clared that battleships are indlspen-
sable. and we must, therefore, CON
5inue to build them; but let US nope
and pray that many year shall pass
before another tragedy like those that
have overtaken the Maine, the Mika-
do and the PetrOpavlOvsk and Ro-
iestvensky's Inflated ships is enacted.

THE FARMER CANDIDATE.
Splendid Planks in Candidate Jim

Splendid PIankS IN Candidate jim
Smiths Platform.
From the Savannah News
Hon. James M. Smith, the farmer
candidate for governor, opened his
campaign in a very happy speech at
Elberton on Tuesday 1t wasn't a
great speech, and it wasn't intended
to be. There are very few great
speeches made these days. 1t was a
plain, common-sense talk, replete with
sound doctrines and dotted with anec-
dOtes that were calculated to fix in the
minds of those present the points the
speaker made.
Mr.. Smith is against time-serving
politicians and demagogues. He has
no use for either, and believes the
state would be ever SO much better Off
without them. He is for the education
of the GIRLS and for lending a helping
hand to the farmer. If the girls are
educated he is certain the state will be
blessed with high type OF men, and
if the farmere are prosperous there
can be no doubt, in his opinion, that
everybody else will be prosperous.
Mr.. SmlIn Is az dluSI uloll 1tllCIil 9iLiS
the negro. He isn't particularly anX-
ious that the negro shall have the pal
lot hut it is his opinion that the white
urinary is the better way to deal with
that question. He hints at the posi-
bility that the negroes, if disfran-
chised. would get the ballot again, in
which event they would be more
troublesome than if they were dealt
with on the white primary plan, par
ticularIy if they were DISTINGUISHED for
lack of educational qualification. But
he is against taxing the white people
tn educate the negroes. He is very
positive on that point.
Mr.. Smith is the biggest farmer OF
of the state, and there are reasons for
thinking that he will be given very
hearty Support in his campaign for
the goyernOrship.

A UNIQUE TOMBSTONE.
Represents Grizzly Bear Defending
Her Cubs.

From the Seattle Times.
A stone carving of a grizzly bear in
the attitude of defending her cubs has
been executed by Andrew Chester
Thompson of Seattle, and will be i'm
mediately shipped to Alaska to be
placed over the grave of R. Shadesty,
one of the most prominent Indians in
the north when alive. He died Dec.
II. 1903, leaving 5000 to defraV the cost
of the monument.
The big piece of stone carving,
weighing three thousand pounds, will
be Shipped from Seattle TO Wrangel,
and from that point will be carried
about $50 miles overland to the home
of the Bear family of Indians. The
Indians themselves will transport the
grizzly on its overland journey, ac-
cording to their own primitive meth
DDS of transportation.
Mr.. Thompson has been carving
images for Alaska Indians for the
past twenty-five years, but this is the
largest monument he has shipped to
Alaska carved from single piece OF
marble.
The stone carving provided for Sha-
destv is the first to be ordered in de-
fensive attitude. For the Black Bear
tribe Mr.. Thompson has carved several
statues of bears bun they have all
been on all fours. The Wolf tribe
and others taking their names from
wild animals have ordered carvings,
but the work done for Shadesty is
novel in its conception.
1t is customary among the Alaska
Indians to leave money to pay for
their own tombstones, and Shadesty
saved for a lifetime to give himself a
suitable piece for his grave. He was
wealthy enough, though, to leave his
[insmen considerable money.

From the Macon Telegraph
On the last night of the recent ses-

Joseph H. Hall was presented with a
gOld-headed cane by the members of
the committee on new counties, of
which he was the chairman, because of
his success in securing the immediate
passage of the bill establishing eight
new counties in Georgia. AS he was
surrounded by his friends the Tele-
graphs reporter engaged his attention
and asked him if he had determined to
be candidate for governor. His an
.swer was. as printed in the Telegraph
the following morning; 81 have not
determined to be a candidate now"
This statement went over the state.
Last night the same reporter met Mr..
Hall and renewed the question. His
answer was:
81 am still considering the matter.
1t seems to me that three or four
months are sufficient for campaign,
and l believe the gubernatorial issue
will be decided in the spring rather
than in the fall [ admit that the re-
quests of me to run are multiplying,
and that l do not lack appreciation of
the tenders of support made to me,
both directly and indirectly. | wish
merely TO say that am thinking the
matter over, and most carefully"

THE PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER AND JAPAN
Some Thoughts Upon Miss Roosevelts Visit to the
Mikados Empire. Race Sympathy Between
the Americans and the Russians
FROM THE SAVANNAH NEWS.

# is a question whether the visit of
tho presidents daughter to Japan was
roll advised. She was received there
nth all the honors accorded 10 roy
,1tv. Indeed, the efforts to emphasize
tho fact that the Mikado, the govern
mont and the nation desired to show
her special honor were greater than
those that had ever been made on be-
half of any other visitor. Rigid rules
of etinuette were broken and the en-
ooror and his family unbent their dig
oitv to a degree that had never been
dome before to honor a foreigner and
show desire for the good will of an
othar nation. A feature of the visit
vas the number of rare and costly
gifts-some of which queen would
have been glad to receive. All classes
Of the people joined in showing their
anDreciation of the visit, and if Miss
Roosevelt could have prolonged her
stav in Japan all sorts of entertain
ments would have been organized for
her pleasure.
Of course the gifts and demonstra-
lions we're not intended to show appre-
citation of the presidents daughter.
They we're intended to voice the good
will of the japanese for the United
States-to make known that it was
we'll understood that the people of the
United States sympathized with the
people of Japan in their war with Rus
sia.
If the negotiations at Portsmouth
had resulted a little differently-had
been productive of treaty nearer the
expectations of the Japanese-there
would be no reason to ask if Miss
Roosevelt's visit to Japan was we'll
advised, but is it not fact that there
is feeling in Japan now that, after
ALL the real sentiment in this country
was with Russia in the war, and that
somehow something was done by the
president and his advisers to give the
diplomatic victory to Russia?
The japanese are keen observers.
During all the days of the Portsmouth
conference they noticed closely public
sentiment in this country relative to
the peace negotiations. They saw the
Impression that NJ. White made, and
they realized that popular feeling was
steadily turing in the direction of
Russia. That was one reason proba-
bly, that induced the Japanese ENJOYS
to suddenly abandon their demand for
an indemnity.
And did not that toast at the Harvey
dinner in New York, in honor of the
ENJOYS, after the signing of the treaty,
have significance to them that was
not foreseen when it was proposed! III
was this "From the great white ma
lion of the west to the great white ma
ton of the east" The japanese are
proud of their race, but may they not
nave discerned in that toast a race

William Jennings Bryan, the
great orator, and twice candi-
date for President of the United
States, gave two noted addresses
at the Devils Lake Chautauqua
Sunday afternoon and evening
before q mass of $4,000 people
from oil parts of the state. The
auditorium was deemed not large
enough to hold the crowds, so
the speaker delivered his address
from q covered wagon in the
baseball park. In the evening
he spoke in the auditorium. His
subject was a moral one, and
those who heard Mr.. Bryan firm
~ believe that he has a large
amount,of good common sense
combined with religion, and that
he is a good man. He referred
several times to his political ca
reer, which he hoped was clean.
Senator Hansbrough, Governor

the state were at the Chautau-
qua that day. 1t is estimated
