COW DROWNED BY STORM.
They Seem to Have Had Right Smart
Rain i'm Calhoun.

Our neighbor, the Arlington Cou-
rier, is responsible for this one;
"Mr. j. w. Calhoun has negro
tenant by the name of Bob Butler.
Bob has one field of cotton that COR
ners in low place, the edge of a
pond. The ground being very damp
caused the grass to grow more luxu-
riously than elsewhere in the field. On
Tuesday morning OF last week, the
day of the storm, Bob tied his COW in
this part of the field to help him get
away with some of the grass. There
was not one drop of water standing in
the field or in the pond at the time,
The heavy rain began, you remember,
about 1:30 p. m, and continued until
dark. Bob did not go after his COW,
thinking she would be all right in the
morning. Wednesday morning when
he went to look after the animal he
found that the water was five feet deep
and that his COW was drowned. This
proves something of the immensely of
the rainfall on that dreadful day"

EXCURSIONS

The Hepburn bill passed June %
will be effective. August %, and
from then on the lid will be prac-
tically on, screwed down by a solid
staple which will do away with all
concessions formerly made by the
railroads.
Although the Elkins and Hep
burn bill is directed in the main
to the freight traffic, the passen-
ger department is also affected, and
as applied to the latter the general
public will be directly affected.
For instance, some railroads in
the past, offering special excursion
rates with a limit, have for cause
made an extension. This will be
all off. An example of the above,
after August %, will be interpreted
as a concession, and the clerk, Of
ficer or railroad making such an
extension will be liable to a heavy
fine.

JAPAN'S NEW MILITARY LEADER
HAS GLORIOUS RECORD
BY Will H. Brill.

In General Baron Oku, the newly
appointed chief Of staff of the
Japanese army, the Japanese gov
eminent has secured a man who
will be no unworthy successor to
General Kodama, the Japanese
Moltke."
There is no officer in the Japan
csc army so well fitted for the
place. General Oku is born SOL
der, a born leader of men, and a
strategist of no mean ability. He
is SO years old and has been sol
dier since he was IS. He is a
product of old Japan and became
learned to his profession on the
battlefield rather than in the school.
He knows the art of war thorough
ly, but he speaks no language but
his own.
In personal appearance General
Oku is tall-far taller than the aver
age of his countrymen. His face
is thin and strongly lined, and
adorned with a thin mustach and
long struggling imperial. The most
notable feature of his face is his
eyes, deep set, keen and kindly.
During the IA months | was at

field during the recent war | saw
him almost daily, and never grew
tired of looking at those eyes.
| Whether during battle or at a

battle before Moukden, when nc
