Let us take glance at the history
OF Natal, observe the white men that
have struggled for foothold in this
country. Natal was first sighted by
Vasco da CANA, Christmas day, 1897.
and the land nemed Natal Nativity
In honor of the day. The Dutch made
the first attempt at settlement about
l72O, but were not successful. In 1924
the English made a treaty with Chaka.
King OF the Ama2ula, but Chaka's sue
cessor, Dingaan, broke up the English
colony In 1885 rumber OF mission
aries established themselves at Dur
ban. Shortly afterward the Dutch, in
their great trek northward, entered
Natal; though Dlngaan treacherously
murdered the first band, the Beers per-
severed, immigration continued. Then
we have the Dutch ana native in con-
ilict; in great battle between the
Beers and natives ton the Boiled
river, December, lS3S), the Zulus were
oyerpowered. The following year the
Republic Of Natal was organized. But
not long were the Dutch allowed pos
session, the British still held that the
Afrikanders were their subjects, and in
1913 annexed the republic to Cape COL
ony Some years later Natal was
made an independent colony. pre-
vious reference has been made to the
war carried on In 1879 against Cete-
wayo, king Of the Zulus; his terri
tory Overrun and occupied, Zululand
became part of Natal.)
The majority Of he people in Natal
are Zulus. The Zulus are powerful
and warlike, their weapons the as

Our readers probably have bnt hazy
remembrance OF recent disturbances
down in the British colony OF Natal
on the southern coast OF Africa and
probably are paying but scant atten-
ton to present threatenings in Zulu
land, province OF Natal. But the dis
turbances were serious, the threaten.
ings are grave; ere long news of a
general massacre Of the whites OF that
region may shock the world.
The London Graphic, discussing the
South African uprising, goes so far as
to say: There is, unfortunately. only
too much reason to believe that the
Zulus and Kafiirs are determined TO
eXpel the white people from South Az

AN ATTRACTIVE PORCH.
How a Simple Householder with q
Small Porch Can Give It an Out
door Appearance.

So many Of our leisure hours are
spent on the porch In summer that II
Is OF great Importance to have Il as at
tractive and convenient as possible
II is much harder to make a small
porch attractive than large one,
where well-deslgned pieces OF furnl-
ture look well against delightful set
ting OF trees and vines, but In the
suburban districts the housekeeper Of
little means has many problems to be
solved. II is necessary to bring the
outdoor feeling as much as possible
on to the porch.
Pots OF growing plants, or boxes
fastened on to the woodwork Of the
porch, serve as screen from pGssers-
by, and are always attractive to those
sitting on the porch. These can be
covered with pieces Of Virginia cork
nailed irregularly against the sides Of
the boxes, and give very attractive
rustic appearance.
Fern baskets may also be hung in
the spaces between the posts, and on
the posts themselves little brackets
can be placed, one above the other, for
holding pots Of growing flowers.
Another holder OF flowers seldom
seen, would be one OF the Japanese
bamboos, which must be nailed to the
posts, and can either be filed with
water, and have fresh flowers placed
In them, or can be filled with soil, and
contain some quickly growing creep
ers planted In the openings, giving o
most attractive appearance to the set
ting Of the porch.
The large growing plants placed on
the floor, either in corner or near
the steps, are always an attractive
addition, and this is usually the only
decoration found on the average porch
The largest size Of lard buckets can
be planted dark green and these can
be placed on the grass and in front
OF the porch, and II they are kept
filled with growing nasturtiums,
would bloom during the hot months
Three OF them In front OF the porch
would give quite an air to a modest
porch, and one would feel indeed that
one had n pleasant garden, without

preferred. they could simply be used
as receptacles for the flower pots,
holding the plants which have been
indoors during the winter months.
Chinese vegetable baskets are even
more decorative II they can be pro-
cured, as they are low and wide II
more cOntrivances were thought out

done outdoors which are usually done

DoN'Ts FOR CHILDREN.

Before the Chicago tuberculosis in.
stitute, held recently, one Of the chief
questions under discussion was: How
10 Rid the Schools of Tuberculosis?"
In this connection DR. S. A. Knopf, OF
the New York health department,
gave the following advice for chill
dren:
DO not spit except in a spittoon, or
a piece OF cloth. or handkerchief
used for that purpose alone. On your
return home have the cloth burned by
your mother, or the handkerchief put
In water until ready for the wash.
Never spit on a slate, floor, side
walk or playground
Do not put your fingers in your
mouth.
Do not pick your nose or wipe 1t on
your hand or sleeve.
Do not wet your finger In your
mouth when turning the leaves OF
books.
Do not put pencils in your mouth or
wet them with your lips.
Do not put anything In your mouth
except food and drink.
Do not swap apple cores, candy,
chewing gum, half eaten food.
whistles, bean blowers, or anything
that is put in the mouth.
Keep your face and hands and finger
nails clean; wash your hands with
soap and water before each meal

Early in the year, at Isandlana the
British met with great disaster;
later the Zulus were repulsed; in July
they were completely defeated; in
August Cetewayo was captured. A few
years later, to end difficulties with the
native princes, the British restored the
king to his rank.
But they reserved portion OF his
territory for themselves, a district
south OF the Tugela river, and a por-
ton OF the northeast; Cetewayo was
limited to the central part. Now diff
cuties arose again, and Cetewayo was
deposed, in the very year of his re-
instatement. The following year he
died. His son, Dluizulu, assumed a

Montgomery, June 9o.-(Special)-The presence in the city yesterday of so many leading men of the democratic party nat urally brought about a great deal of talk in a political way, and there was a. null titude of expression about the prospects of candidates and chances of policies. The Cleburne county contest did not have ghost of a chance to throw out the reg ular organization because of the fact that the bolt had come entirely before any de- mand had been made seemingly wholly on the theory that the Hurst following. or rather the men in sympathy with the Edwardsville end of the county in the court house fight would be thrown down. As the result of the ruling of the state committee, J. A. Brown of Bell Mills sug- gested al the same time H. W.

Mir Brown has been here before in that capacity and Is no novice in the law making game. He is a merchant and mill man with a good living settled and in hand and somewhat of time to indulge his preferences for politics.
 Race for Governor.
 The tall, of candidates for state office ran, strange to say, less to that of gov ernor than any other. However, the pros poets of Cunningham and Conner for the high office came in for lot of discus sion. Many of those present hold to the belief that Mir. Conner has the best of the race at this time while others, a large number, contend that with the fight be- ing made by pr. Cunningham he Is losing ground every day in such volume as to render his nomination very uncertain. The race for governor has become an enigma to the politicians. They do not know what to say about 1t. Several lead CTS. men who have had their hands on the public pulse in wonderful way In the past simply lie down and plead abso lute absence of opinion They have not heen able to make up their minds what they think Up to the beginning of the last active movement of Dr. Cunningham they held to the belief that Conner had the race In a walk but in every instance they now say they can not tell. Those who attended the Selma joint debate agree to a man that Cunningham had the best of it, and many contend that he has been ever since that time cutting the ground

Whose Say-so is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for sale through druggists, one. has to take the makers say-so alone as to their cura- tive value. or course, such testimony is accordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written from disnterested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, how ever. form single and therefore striking exception to this rule. Their claims to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their makers say so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes In praise of the curative value Of the several ingredients entering into these well-known medicines.
 Amongst these writers we find such med ical lights as Prof. Finley Ellingwood. NJ; D.: of Bonnet Medical College. Chicago; Prot Hale. of the same city; Prof. John M. scud- John King. M.
