those concentration camps we would
have whipped them" said Captain
Van Gass.
When asked to give some further
information about the concentration
camps, Colonel Boshoff said;
"Well, you can form some kind of
a conclusion from these figures: OF
SO, 900 women and children, who were
prisoners in the camp, 1900 died.
1.-THE women and children in the
camps were corralled off in barbed-
wire Enclosures which they could not
leave. Our scouts heard of the horri-
BILE conditions in these camps and they
even visited them them in disguise.
But the Boer women were plucky to
the last, and they frequently sent out
messages to keep on fighting.
''These women in the concentration
camps were allowed little timed
beef on one day and a little raw beef
the next day. To cook all the food
that was given them, they were allow
ed only one and one-half pounds of
wood daily, which was not enough to
cook ANYTHING. Thus many of them,
while they had food, died of improper
nourishment and were literally starved
to death because they could not cook
their food.
FishhOoks and Glass In Food.
which soldiers had heard from the
concentration camps to the effect that
small fshhOoks and ground glass
we're frequently found in the meat
which was given the women and
children.
In speaking further of the purposes
of the Beers here, Colonel BOshoff
said
''The ultimate purpose of the men
here is to secure farms and settle per-
manently in this country. They can
get work and in that sway they can
save enough, eventually, to purchase
farm lands.
"We are at present considering a
plan to send delegates to South Africa
with view to secure more Boer set
tiers for Georgia.
1.-THE Beers in their own country
are in a pitable condition. The far
mers are poverty-stricken and it
seems to be a sort of hopeless strug-
gle.
SAN illustration of how hard it is
to get along there, is the manner in
which the Beers have to get back
their mules and wagons that were
captured by the British.
THE new government permitted these
Beers to buy their mules and wagons
back, on two. years time. But times
were so hard that many of them have
failed and many more fortunate Beers
who have gone as security for their
poorer countrymen have impoverished
themselves in doing so.

 NapOIeOn's Craftsmanship.
 Rulers have always been fiattered, from Canute's time downward, it be- ing, it would seem, an unwritten law that a monarch's weak points should pass unrecognized. Napoleon III. once said, in consoling a friend who chanced to be shooting with him for his poor craftsmanship:
 "You need not fret about 1t. The en- peror Coy which he meant his uncle, the great Napoleon I.) was even a worse shot than you are. The only time they put gun in his hand he killed poor hound and went away thinking he had killed a stag.
 ''In those days the stag, whenever brought to bay, was left for the en- peror to kill One day, however, the ennr1er6ff was not to be found, and the master of the staghounds finished the animal with his knife. Just then the emperor came in sight
 '"They hurriedly got the dead stag on it's legs, propping it up with branches, etc., and handed the emperor the cara bine of honor,' as it was called. The emperor fired, and of course the stag tumbled over, but at the same time there was a piteous whine from one of the hounds, which had been shot through the head.
 '"The emperor wheeled around, un- conscious of the mischief he had done, saying to one of the aids-de-camp, After all I am not as bad a shot as they pretendp"

LlNCOLN'S FOREFATHERS,
A Strain of Tragedy Runs Through
 Their History.


 Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were pionesrs-men who left their homes to open up the wilderness and make the way plain for others to follow them, For ITO years, ever since the first American Lincoln came from England to Massachusetts, in 163S, they had been moving slowly westward as new settlements were made in the forest They faced solitude, privation and all the dangers and hardships that beset men who take up their homes where only beasts and wild men have had homes before, but they continued to press steadily forward, though they lost fortune and sometimes even life itself in their westward progress.
 Back in Pennsylvania and New Jer- sey some of the Lincolns had been men of wealth and influence. In Kentucky, where the future president was born on Feb. 12, 1909, his parents lived in deep poverty. Their home was a small log cabin of the rudest kind, and noth- ing seemed more unlikely than that their child, coming into the world In such humble surroundings, was des- tined to be the greatest man of his time. True to his race, he also was to be pioneer, not, indeed, like his an- cestors, leader into new woods and unexplored fields, but a pioneer of a nobler and grander sort, directing the thoughts of men ever toward the right and leading the American people through difficulties and dangers and a mighty war to peace and freedom.
 The story of this wonderful man be- gins and ends with tragedy, for his grandfather, also named Abraham, was killed by shot from an Indians rifle while peaceably at work with his three sons on the edge of their frontier clear ing. Eighty-one years later the presi- dent himself met death by an assas- sins bullet. The murderer of one was a savage of the forest; the murderer of the other that far more cruel thing, a savage of civilization-St Nicholas.

For Thin Babies

Fat is of great account to a baby that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's E m ulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and mus c1e. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry they are rich <; their fat is l a d up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle to IL c h. They delight in Scott's Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them.

reductions made this year in Georgia
will cost the Southern railroad alone
at least one million of dollars. He
stated that very much a greater part
of the money earned by this road in
this state comes from Interstate traffic
and he cited figures to show that the
net earnings from business from with
in Georgia, or intra-state traffic, are
not enough to pay the cost of operat-
ing, improvements and to meet the
taxes in Georgia. In conclusion, he
said that if the Southern was put in
class A., as proposed, the company
will have a deficit of nearly $3.50, 600
wear on Georgia business.

A sorrcwing Wife's Tribute to Her
Departed Husband.

A sorrcwing Wife's Tribute to Hel
Departed Husband.
On Friday night, December l, at II
O'Clock, the Angel OF Death VISITED
nv home and took from me my devot
ed husband and loving father. AL
that skillful hands and loved ones
could do to save this dear companion
was in vain.
Rest on. dear Isham, thy labor is done,
Thy tolls are DER, and life's race is won;
No more days OF weary care,
No more pains to feel or bear
He was a true and noble christian,
ALWAYS willing and ready to do ms
duty toward the church and for his
dear Master. Not only for his Saw
Tor, but his friends, neighbors ano
loved ones, too. He was only SICK
two short weeks with typhoid fever;
and not a murmur or complaint oiu
we hear from his sweet voice. All ms
talk during the two weeks was II am
going home" and he wanted al! OF MS
loved ones to go with him. On, now
hard it is to tread these earthly pain.
WAYS alone after seven short years OF
brightness and happiness in our home.
But God knows best. He always does
His work well, and we must be resign
ed to His will.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
place is vacant in our home
Which never can be 1Iled.
Yet God in HIS wisdom has recalled
Vhe boon His love hath given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in heaven.
Just before this father passed over
the river he called for his precious
little babe. When the little one was
carried to the bedside his dying father
patted him on the head and said:
''What is papa's little man going to
do?" Dear friends, what will this lit
tie one do? No father to come home
to cheer and brighten his little heart.
| never will forget that dear brother
who sat by his bedside day after day,
night after night, watching with anx-
ious ewes for one little ray OF hope,
but alas the dear Savior said Come
home, We weary one, and will give
you rest" m
The last words he spoke were "Send
word to the house to Ethel, so she
won't be by herself. Meet me in Heav-
en-, I'm going home. "
At twilight we gather around the family freside,
Whose circle once was glad and gay
And il from out the precious chain
some shining links have dropped away
Then guard with tender heart ana mana
The remnant OF thy household band
God Gives but does not take away.
He only safely keeps above
For us the treasure that we love-

SENATOR TILLMAN's WEAPON.

That famous 'pitchfork' of Senator
Tillman is not very handsome weap-
on, and in the olden days when chiv-
airy was rampant it would have been
classed as "barbarous, but it is very
effective sometimes in throwing bad
legislation or bad administration to
the glare of the public.
For some weeks much has been said
about one Bishop who was drawing a
salary of $40, 900 year for sitting in
a handsomely furnished apartment at
Washington and giving to the press,
when the press called around for it,
doses of sui phate defensio of the doings
of the Panama canal commission, but
Mr.. Bishop and the administration
paid no attention to what was being
said until Senator Tillman took the
field with his pitchfork, and then Bish-
CD, Shontz and others ran to cover,
and Senator Hale was delegated to
announce to the senate that the press
bureau" of the commission would be
discontinued. 1t remains to be seen
whether the salary was abolished with
the bureau.
Senator Tillman expresses his deter
mination to push matters until re-
form in the salary list is brought
about all along the line. In this he
will he ioined by Senator Bacon. 1t
is not to be taken that Senator Till
man and Senator Bacon are opposing
the construction of the canal, for they
are not, but are among its most earn
est advocates, but they do not be-
lieve in overwhelming it with enor-
NOUS salaries. In short, their motto
is "more dirt digging and less fash
light display"

THE SOUTHERN SUBMITS REASONS
WHY ITS RATES SHOULD
NOT BE COT.


The state railroad commission has
now heard from all of the roads whose
rates Mr.. Brewer of Griffin and Hon.
J. Pope Brown of Hawkinsville want
reduced. The roads themselves can
not tell accurately how much loss they
would suffer, but the Southern figured
that its loss would be at least SlIO,0OO
a year.
Mr.. L. Green, freight traffic mana
ger. the official who has charge OF the
freight business all over the Southern.
made answer for his company last
week. Mr. Green, who is one OF the
greatest rate experts in the country,
began his argument by showing how
much the Georgia commission has
reduced rates in the last twenty-five
wears. He took up lumber and showed
by the records that the freight charges
on it had been reduced in Georgia
about one fifth? There are various
ways of doing some things. One way
to reduce rates is to increase the MIN
imum car load-that is to make the
roads haul more freight for the same
money. This is one way. twenty
years ago $500 was paid for handling
1000 bricks 10 miles. To-day 50. 90 will
move 5000 bricks II miles; that is, the
roads have to haul twice as many
bricks longer distance to get the
same money.
TWENTY-FIVE years ago it cost ST.. "A
to ship one ton of fertilizers 10 miles
in Georgia. Now it costs Y cents on
the Southern. That is just one-halt.
To-day the Southern would haul ton
of fertilizers entirely across the state
for IA.
Flour, grain, hay, beans, live stock,
cotton piece goods and one hundred
other articles were taken up and their
rate history was given by Mr.. Green.
The commission has very seldom
made sweeping reductions, but 1t mas
been trimming the rates a little mere
and a little there year after year All
freight shippers understand OF course
that for purposes OF rate making
freight is divided into classes and com
modities. There are first, second,
third, fourth, fifth and sixth classes,
and then there are lettered classes, A.
B. c.. D., etc. The commission often
takes an article from higher class
and puts it into a lower one. inns re-
duces the rate on that article. All
commissions do this, but Georgia has
worked the bfICh gI6dg OOoA HLOAN
than her neighbors. This state has
261 articles with a lower classification
than South Carolina and 3l5 that are
lower than Alabama's. The railroad
men firmly believe that Georgia s
rates are unreasonably low. They
show that all of the states around he1
allow them to charge more than the
Georgia commissions tariff, anC
they insist that rates in Georgia
really ought TO be raised. Mr.. Greer
reminded the commission that las
February rates were reduced from tbs
north, east and west to Georgia
points. Then in May the commission
reduced all class rates from Atlanta
Athens, Augusta, Brunswick, Colum
bus, Dalton, Macon, Rome and Sa
vannah to Is of the leading cities il
Georgia.
Commissioner J. NJ. Brown has es
timated that the reductions of las
February will amount to 1912, 900 pc
year.
