The Truth at Last.

In making a report Of the losses sus-
tained by tie Japanese navy since
April, 1904, the head of the Japanese
naval department. makes the following
statement:
''The necessity for secrecy no longer
existing, the navy department. con-
firms the reports of the loss Of the Ja-
panese battleshjp Yashima off Port
Arthur in May, 1894, and announces
other naval losses heretofore withheld.
Under the above paragraph the
names OF several japanese war ships
are given that have been lost since
May, 1904. Up to the present the Jap
anese denied that these ships had been
lost, but they now admit that 'the
necessity for secrecy no longer existing
the navy department. confirms the re-
ports OF the loss Of the japanese battle
ship Yashima of Port Arthur in May,
1904, and announces other naval losses
heretofore withheld" They sup
pressed the truth year about the bat
tleship Yashima, and they will do the
same thing about the losses they sus.
tanned in the late naval battle, all Of
which goes to confirm the opinion
we have expressed before that they
are race Of prevaricators. rs.-Orange-

The Government Estimate Challen2.

The governments report on the
acreage OF cotton planted in the South
shows a decrease OF IL per cent.
from last year. Tee Southern Gotten
Associations estimate, published a
few days ago, showed a reduction OF
lS. 40 cent. from last seasons acreage.
This great discrepancy, says the
C1arle ston Post, amounting to more
than 2,Gco 900 acres, caused a sharp

Insects xii, Little Boy.

At Atlanta, Ga mosquito bite
received several weeks ago, has result
ed in the death OF little Robert Lamar
GaiSsert, one-year.cld son Of r. L.
GaisSert, who resides at Knott's cross
ing, on the East Point road. The in
sect bit the child upon the tender
flesh Of the left cheek. At first only
a small spot, such Is usually appears
in such cases, was visible upon the
child'S face. After short time, how
ever, the place became inflamed and
began to swell finally developing into
a running sore. Though every effort
was made to heal the peculiar atii.e
tion, each Of the remedies failed to
bring about the desired result.

The Reason Why.

The Bamberg Herald says: 1.-THE
daily papers Of the State seem to be
prosperous. The Charleston News ard
Courier and the Columbia State are at
p,esent installing fine new presses,
and the Charleston Evening Post has
announce d that new and up locate
machine is now being erected for that
newspaper. The Post expects to install!
its new press about the first Of Sep
tem5er. Evidently this wave OF pros.
perity which has struck the dailies,
missed the weeklies. The wave of
prosperity would have missed the
dajlies too If they were managed Cd
the same non. business principles that
the weeklies are run On. Most Of the
weeklies in the State are run on slip
clad bu:iness methods. They publish
all sorts OF notices free that daily
apers get well paid for publishing.
This should be stopped. Teen the
weeklies extend an unlimited crecit
10 their subscribers. In fact about
the only way for subscriber to get
off the books OF some OF tie
= eeklies is for him to die. This is
wrong and should be stopped.
Let the weekly papers come down to
business methods, charging for all
notices that should be charged for.
such as obituaries, tributes OF re-
:pscs, ST., and occasionally have a
settlement with its subscribers. TheD
he wave of prosperity will Strike then

TaE YELLOW PERIL.
We Are Face to Face With 1t, Says
One of Rooseyeit's Cabinet.

Notwithstanding the opinion ex
pressed by some newspapers and peo
pie that no sane man would enter
cain Tor moment the thought that
tie suscesS Of Japan in the present
war with Russia would prove menace
TO the ether nations Of the world
many more or less saEe people are en-
sertaining that very thought at this
particular time. The Baltimore Sur
says a member Of President Roose
velt's cabinet made the significant re-
mark that we are face to face with
5he yellow peril, " when he had ioiSh.
ed reading the full reports of the vic.
tory Of the Japanese feet over the
Russian feet.
TIE Sun went on to say that while
it is not thought for an instant tina,
there is any Immediate danger of wal
or difficulties Of any kind between the
United States and Japan because OF
the latter's undoubted prestige in the
far East, from the trend OF the talk
among prominent members Of the ad.
ministration it was evident that the
idea expressed so cagently by the
member Of the cabinet exist in many
minds, and in military circles it is
now recognized that hereafter the
United States will have to take Japan
seriously iato account as a competitor
for the supremacy OF the Pacific ocean,
which has been sometimes facetiously
referred to as an American lake. ia
pan has now a much more powerful
naval force on the Pacific and, it is
thought, could easily take the Philip.
pine Islands from this country
The people who are talking this
way may not be sane, but they are
talking good, hard sense, ali the same,
which will be proven in the next ten
years or earlier. Another paper says
Z famous Ameican admiral in talking
to a newspaper correspondent las,
week in Washington made the remark
hat before many years America woulc
nave to fight Japan, as her success
over Russia would completely turn
5he heads OF the staid, conservative
lap and he will 60 good many step
,u1teer than otherwise would have
oeen the case.
The old admiral further said that |
1e was afraid that the ambitions OF

MARRIAGE IN THE ANDAMANS
Gorgeous Ceremony and Point Lace
Not Requisites.

Gorgeous Ceremony and Point Lace
Not Requisites.
The day was warm. The sailor sat
in an ice cream saloon eating ice
cream and lady cake.
"The queerest marriage ever seen,
MISS" he said, was in the Andaman
islands. But maybe you amt inter
ested in marriages.
He laughed, as men always laugh
over this joke, and the pretty waitress
permitted herself to smile,
"The islanders in them islands" he
said, sis dwarfs. Four feet, on the
average. Very fierce and ugly.
'1f a young islander wants a girl
for his wife he asks her parents for
her. They never refuse. They take
the girl and hide her in the forest
There the lad must find her before
morning. If he finds her she's his, II
he don't she amt.
"Of course | don't need to tell you
that if the girl wants the young Teller
she sees to it that he finds her all
right.
and vice versa.
Here is how the marriage cere-
mony is performed. The lad climbs
up slim young tree and the girl
climbs up another close to him. Her
clothes don't bother her in climbin'-
clothes never bother an Andaman is
lander. Well, up they go, and as they
near the top their weight bends the
slim trees over towards each other
prettily. The trees bow and bend and
courtesy, and finally the lads head
touches the girls and from below a
shout goes up, for the head-touchin'
has done the business. The ceremony
is finished. The young folks troubles

The Plural of Cider.

About twelve years ago young
physician was elected on the school
board in Marlboro, Mass In order to
add dignity to his appearance he had
raised beard that turned out any
thing but what he expected. One day
he had just entered the sixth grade
after the children had been wrestling
with singular and plural forms of
words. They had come to the word
cider and were nonplussed.
Write a sentence" said the teach
er, using first the singular form, then
write one using the plural"
The children were busily writing,
all except one boy, who was noted for
his extreme dullness. At the entrance
of the doctor he seemed to have an
idea, and, Selling his pencil and paper,
wrote rapidly. The teacher, very much
pleased, when the boy had finished
said: 1--WE will hear yours, John"
For the singular" said John, II
like cider; for the plural, that mans
elders are red" pointing to the ris-
ing young physician on the platform
