rwENrY-FouR YEARS OLD

With its issue OF Tuesday The DAILY
Republican started in on its twenty
fifth year of existence, and a year
hence we shall have rounded out a
quarrer century. The Republican as
. daily has gone through all the
years of the development Of this sec
ton of the state, for the opening pro-
cess had Just gotten a good start
along in 1881 and the county was not
particularly overrun with settlers.
Through the years Of the incoming
settlers, slow at first and then with
the boom that was on. then through
a few years OF dry years, depression
and hard times of a most impress
sive character, and then the coming
out into the days of prosperity.
It has been a long road, though
made happy by many incidents Of
pleasure Of the work. With Mitch
ellis prosperity The Republican has
been more or less identified, and it
has done what it could at all times
and in all places to advertise Mitch
ell and Dawson county to the world.
In the years to come The Republic
can will be controlled by the same
good desire to help and build up
Mitchell and Dawson county e
greater than they r to-day.
It has been a remarkably good
growth that has come to Mitchell in
the past six or eight years-the
period Of time when the city was in
an attitude either to go forward or
settle lack. Our citizens, never los
in9 faith in the future of the town,
however, grasped the opportunity
just at the right time, and with a
steady advancement Mitchell has
reached a position in the eyes of the
state that is enviable, and this is said
modestly, too, without the least de-
sire to boast. Its position, located
in the heart of an excellent portion
Of the state, is a commanding n
that will be greatly enhanced by the
future years OF development, Of
which the city stands ready to take
advantage. The three years which
have passed have witnessed an i'm
mense AMOUNT of building in the way
Of business and city property, and
at the present time with the con-
strUction of the First National bank
building, the Gale theatre, the
Mitchell National bank building,
the Catholic church, and the Catho-
lie hospital, and the future construc-
tion within q year Of . federal build
log and the Methodist church.
Mitchell will be we'll represented
with an excellent class Of splendid
structures.
The Republican desires to extend
its sincere thanks for the very
hearty support that it has received
from the business men who advertise
In its columns and to the suhscrib-
ers who now reach a number that
Is highly gratifying to the manage
ment. Some new improvements are
under contemplation that will DE
installed In the Office within the
next two months.

resotting to any end to take care Of
his safety and that Of his crew and
vessel; The settlers on the Sound
were afraid If him and could give
to the colonial government little help.
TO make matters worse, Governor
Eden was accused Of being unduly le-
nient toward the pirate. and It has
been asserted by a North Carolina his
toriaa that among the papers left by
the pirate at his death was one from
the Governors secretary indicating
a feeling Of regard on the part Of the
Executive. To emphasize the case
against the Governor a prominent at
torney Of the colony declared that the
executivev could easily find means to
arrest honest men, but could not raise
force to arrest pirate, and this
created such a connection that the
lawyer was arrested and tried by the
general court, and fined for his
charges against the Governor, who
was declared by the colonial council
to be above reproach.
Teach put to sea, and for a time
he continued his maurading expedi.

length his depredations became SO un.

reward of thousand dollars was or

he found Teach and his crew. The pi.
rate commander notified the Lieuten-

gave It. This meant a duel to the
death. Immediate attack commenced,
and for a time it looked as though the
outlaw would have a complete and
easy victory. The Vlrginians lost nine

VANDERBILT'S $4,000 AUTO
Shipped to Florida to Start i'm Beach
Races.

New York. JAN, 17.-Alfred Van
derbilt's 25O-horse power racing auto
mobile, which he expects to shatter all
records at the races on Ormond Beach
next week was shipped to Florida to-
day. 1t was Grated and prepared for
the journey as if it was made of glass,
and everything possible was done to in
sure the monsters trip in safety. Just
before it left Vanderbilt's private ma
chine shop at No. 353 West Both street,
the young millionaire drove up in his
hansOm A friend accompanied him,
and together they went into the shop
for an inspection of the machine
The door was locked carefully after
them, and they remained inside for half
all hour. On emerging, the owner of
the car seemed very much pleased, but
he was Seeretive as to the matter.
''Do you expects to make two miles
a minute?'' he was asked.
Il can tell you more about that next
week in Florida he replied.
will yC'l ride in the car during the
speed contests?'' was the next question
put to him.
Mr.. Vanderbilt said he really could
net say anything ON that point He
could not tell exactly what he would
do till he had the machine on the
sand at OrmOnd.
Then he sprang into the hanson and
was driven away, the blanket that
hung from the drivers seat bearing
the monogram, "A. G. W" in large yell
low letters.
The motor Of the machine is double

A CHEAP AND DURABLE PAINT.

Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy, of the state
the Raleigh Times in regard to the
frequent demand from the country
people for cheap end at the same
time lasting white wash. He gives a
recipe for this preparation which we
give below 1t will be noticed that he
says it forms a very desirable paint
for inside and outside use and is bet
ter than lead paint for localities near
the sea. For the benefit of our down
country" readers we publish the re-
cipe. We hope some of our friends
on or near the seashore will try it
and let us hear from them as to the
results. 1t is cheap enough to be
within the reach of every one and it's
composition is very simple The re-
cipe is:
Half a bushel of unslacked lime.
Slack with warm water. Cover it dur
ing the process to keep in the stream.
strain the liquid through a fine sieve
I. III Stidlner Add q peck of salt pre-
v1ously we'll dissolved IN warm water.
and three pounds of ground rice boiled
TO a thin paste and stirred in boiling
hot: half pound of powdered Spanish
whiting and a pound of glue which has
been previously dissolved over a slow
hre. Add hot water to make five gall
Ions of the mixture. Stir we'll and let
1t stand for a few days covered UP
from the dirt. 1t should be put on hot.
One pint of this mixture will cover a
square yard properly applied. Small
brushes are best.
This forms brilliant and very de-
sirable paint for inside or outside use.
1t is better than lead paint for locai-
ties near the seashore.
This is a cheap and convenient
white wash and paint. If it will
stand our humid climate it will prove
a great thing for the people whose
residences are nea. the sea, Again,
we hope some of oar friends Will try
it and let us know what are the re-
suits.

How to Plant for Early Potatoes.

In Tfdewater Virginia and East
ern North and South Carolina and
also in the eastern part of Southern
Virginia, Irish potatoes may be
planted this month for a very early
crop. This planting requires, how
ever, to be done in very special way
in order to be a success. The rows
must be plowed out very deep by run
ming the plow at least twice to each
row. Then the soil in the bottom Of
the rows must be broken fine and
have heavy dressing Of a good po-
tato fertilizer rich in potash, well
mixed with the soil. The sets should
then be planted and be covered light
ly with soil and then have a heavy
coating of barn yard manure placed
on the top of the soil and upon this
burrows should be plowed from each
side so as to thoroughly cover the ma
nure and make a ridge over the sets.
In the early spring, as osOn as the
weather becomes mild, harrow this
ridge down and the potatoes will come
through. If they should appear too
early plow a little soil onto them as
soon as they break through. We have
reports from number of parties who
have made excellent very early crops
in this way.-SOuthern Planter.
