Italian Tobacco system In Japan.

The infinite adaptability of Japan TO
western civilization recently received
another striking illustration, says the
London Globe Last year commission
of Japanese administrators was sent
to Italy to study the system upon
which the Italian tobacco monopoly
was organized. The result was so sat
isfactory that the commission reported
that it would be suitable for adoption
in the mikado's dominions. The Italian
minister of finance has received a com
munication from the japanese minister
of finance announcing that the Italian
system is now at work throughout ia
pan and is working admirably.

COMMENTS ON BRYAN's VISIT.
Republicans Disapprove, While Dem
ocrats Applaud.

special to the Atlanta journal
from Washington says; w. y. Bry-
an, visit to President Roosevelt has
caused widely different feelings to
arise among the republicans and dem
ocrats in congress. The republicans
look upon the visit with open disap-
proval, while the democrats are sup
posed to applaud both Roosevelt and
BRYAN upon the felicit0us outcome OF
the Nebraskan's white house call.
When it was announced, as Mr..
Bryan left the white house, that he
had assured the president OF his
hearty support in the fight for freight
rate legislation and that the president
had cordially welcomed the support
thus prOtfered many republican poll
ticians at once recognized the posi-
bility for party lines being wiped out
in this triumph over the railroads. TO
those politicians who are siding with
she railroads this prospect was any
thing but pleasing.
On the other hand those who favor
rate legistiOn as against the roads,
and these are nearly all the democratic
rank, were highly gratifed to see the
president so earnestly espouse the
cause for which they had been several
years clamoring.
Numbers of democrats are ready to
follow Bryan again, and his promise
of support to Roosevelt was not by
any means mere tender of his per-
sonal efforts.

OIL FROM sAssAFRAs.
\ kentucky Man to Establish Plant
in Southwest Georgia.

in Southwest Georgia.
The Macon Telegraph prints the
following special from Atlanta: Dr.
J. Blair, prominent dentist from
Louisville, KY. passed through AT
ianta TO-DAY on his way toAlbany,
where. it is said he goes for the pur-
pose of establishing an enterprise
that will extract oil from sassafras
roots.
Sassafras is not known much IN
south Georgia as an Oil producer OF
value. and the farmers of that section
will hail with delight any medium by
which they can get rid of the sassafras
which abounds in that section. Pep
perment, too, is a surplus production
there which will be used in the manu-
facture of drugs.
DIR. Blair said he thought the new
enterprise meant much to the farmers
of that section. "We can guarantee
to the farmers five times more per acre
for sassafras and temperament than they
can get for cotton, and they can make
two crops a year. Most of the sas-
safras oil is sent to China, where it is
regarded as an invaluable drug"

EVERY DAY HEROES.
Many Thousands Of Applications to
the Carnegie Hero Commission.

many InOuRdntLS Oh AppbCdCOIiS W
the Carnegie Hero Commission.
More than 20 600 applications have
been made to the Carnegie hero fund
commission. The fund started by Car
negie TO provide rewards ofmoney and
medals for acts of herOism was Gre
ated less than year ago.
1t is stated that the cases of heroic
deeds are so numerous and SO well au-
thenticated that the commission is UNI
able to reward 1.-THE of them.
And it may safely be stated that for
one instance that comes before the
commission there are at least four or
FIVE that are not reported. 1t is not
out Of reason to conclude that in the
United States in the last year there
have been one hundred thousand dis
tinct acts of heroism.
This is cheering.
Whatever may be the failings Of our
society the heart of the people is true
and tender and sympathetic.
1t is also notable that nearly all the
cases reported to the commission have
occurred in the humber walks of life.
Our nobility is to be found in the
common people.

BRuIN TAKES TO DEEP WATER
Bluff Of Cotton Bear Was Called BY
Buyers.

Though cotton is quoted at a low
price and farmers and cotton dealers
are in anything but the sweetest mood
as a result. confidence has not entirely
disappeared, and the trade in Savan-
nah is yet ready to repOse certain
degree of faith in it. This was shown
when a report reached the floor of the
Savannah cotton exchange that New
York man had offered to bet 81, 900
that the price on the New York eN-
change would fall to six cents by Feb.
l. \ pool was formed by the Savan-
nah exchange members, and a wire
was sent to New York offering to take
the bet Thereupon an answer was
received that the New Yorker wanted
to make the limit Sept. |. This was
construed by the local men interested
as backdown on the part of the New
York bear, so they gave him no further
notice.

almost all of them.

A Gala Day At Mt. Airy.

Thursday was farmers day at Mt. Airy,
they gathered in from Carroll, Montgomery,
Frederick and Howard counties. with their
wives and children, until the assemblsge
reached over 1000 persons. Gov. Warheld
was prevented from attending, which was a
very great disappointment to his many friends
in that section. Mr.. J. Mortimer Whitehead,
of Indiana, lecturer of the National Grange,
gave a very entertaining talk on organization
and education among farmers: Prof. w. L.
l.. Taliaferro, of the Maryland Agricultural
College Experiment Station, addressed the
audience on the subject of corn. State Roads
Engineer W. W. Crosby received an ovation
when be was presented MFR. Crosby proved
himself most interesting speaker and soon
had the audience following him closely. He
gave full detailed explanation of the Shoe
maker Road Law and told the farmers that at
present there we're 20 miles of road under
contract and that he hoped to be able to finish
80 miles during the year.
Mr.. J. B. Ager, master of the State Grange,
spoke on the subject of diaries. His talk was
highly interesting. Mr.. Richard Vincent,
Jr., of White Marsh, Baltimore county. spoke
on flowers. He captured the ladies from the
start by declaring that farmers would deny
their wives and families in many instances
enough fertilizer to plant flower bed, and
that nothing could make the farm home more
attractive than little attention given to the
planting of flowers.

IN JUSTICE MOORE'S COURT.
Charges of Assault and Battery, Carrying
Concealed weapons and Disturbing The
Peace Disposed OF.

Justice William Moore, of this city, had a
cloud of accused and witnesses in his court on
Tuesday morning, and about two hours, with

| carrying concealed weapons and disturbing
the peace.
Last Saturday night the colored people held
festival on East Green street, this city, for
the benefit of the Baptist Church. Officer
John Mitten went to the place to look for a
colored man charged with beating his wife.
His presence seemed TO exasperate some OF
those present. The officer was assaulted with
tongues, stones and a razor. One stone struck
him on the head, and a negro man made three
swipes at him with a razor. Milten kept at
his work and landed two women and three
men in Jail, and arrested three others on
Monday, making total haul of eight.
After hearing witnesses on Tuesday Justice
Moore held Joseph Hill for the grand jury, on
the charge of carrying a concealed weapon,
in the sum of 500. 90 bail In default of bail
Joseph went to Jail.

the officer, was sentenced 10 the House of

Inc Prngressixe Teacher.

The paper read before the State Teachers
Association. at the Blue Mountain House, last
week. ou the Progressive Teacher. by Prot.
George =. Moreloek, Principal of the West
muster High School. will be found on lhe frst
page of this issue. The paper is a very sensi-
BILE one and should be read by everybody, par
tieularly by teachers. Prof. MorelOck has q
proper appreciation of his profession, the work
Of the sehoolroom and the training of the
youthful mind. He appreciates what progress
means in educational matters, and would not
adapt every new suggestion called progress
without first considering whether its ineorpOr-
alton would constitute real progress. He rec.
ognizes that what night suit ia one school
would not be adapted TO another-That con
diiions and surroundings must be considered
before anything new is adopted.
He warns teachers against an assumption OF
self suficiency, and remarks that the teacher
who is satisfied with his own knowledge and
methods Of teaching is getting close TO the line
of decay. Much can be learned by attendance
at the meetings Of the State Teachers Associ-
alton and at Institutes, and by Communicating
with fellow teachers.
Prof Morelock speaks of the training OF
pupils. The work of the teacher and the work
Of the pupil is condensely defined, showing
knowledge of the subject.
