their respective lady friends at their
magnificent Club rooms on South

held in the Capitol City Their
doors were thrown open to the ladies
from 2 to p. m, and from s to il
p. IN. The spacious apartments were
beautifully decorated for the occasion,
and palms and flowers were every
where prevalent. Sweet and entranc-
ing music was dispersed throughout
the entire reception, while sunny
smiles and kindly words were being
exchanged by all fortunate enough to
be present. In the receiving party
were Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, Mr.. and
Mrs. Abn,r Naylor, Mr.. Leopold

Mrs. Abner Naylor, President of

We are sometimes asked by de-
linquent subscribers why we send the
paper after the subscription date has
expired. Every weekly newspaper
in towns of this size are forced to do
this. Should we stop subscriptions
when time expires nine times out of
ten the subscriber would give us
scall down. for insinuating that his
credit was not good. Rather than to
cast reflection against the honesty
of a subscriber to pay a small debt.
it is next to necessity for a home
paper to continue sending the paper
after the time has expired. 1t is not
necessary for the city dailies or week
hes to follow this rule, as their sub
seribers live at a distance and are not
personal friends as is the case with
majority of our subscribers. Our

the paper after the time has expired
Should any desire their paper dis
continued they should notify us and

done so.

GOVERNMENT wmTHwAsn.

As this is The season Of the year
when whitewash should be extensively
used, we herewith reproduce the U. S.
Government recipe for whitewash and
urge our readers to Literally use it:
''Take half a bushel ofunslaked lime
slake it with boiling water, cover dur
ing the process to keepin steam, strain
the liquid through fine sieve or strain
er and add to it a peck Of salt pre-
yiously dissolved in warm water.
three pounds Of ground rice boiled to
paste and stirred in while hot. half a
pound of powdered Spanish whiting
and one pound of clean glue pre-
viously dissolved by soaking in cold
water and then hanging over a slow
fire in a small pot hung within a
larger one filed with water. Add FIVE
gallons Of water to the mixture, stir
well and let stand few days, covered
from dirt. It should be applied hot,
for which purpose it can be kept in a
kettle of a portable furnace. Coloring
matter may be added as desired For
cream color, add yellow ochre; pearl
or lead, add lamp or ivory black; fawn
add proportionately four pounds ofraw
lumber to two pounds of lamp black.
For interior work Stake a peck of
lime until it is thick and creamy.
While it is hot mix with pint Of lin
seed oil and one-quarter Of a pound Of
glue previously dissolved in water. Let
the mixture stand several hours before
applying it A little lampblack dis
solved in vinegar and mixed with
whitewash gives a grayish tint, which
may be preferable to the pure white;
little umber gives a fawn color and
yellow a cream tint Very little col
oring should be used Or the shade will
be too dark"

TILLnAN AND COHORTS OUTGEN-
ERALED.

The country is now being enter
taiued with a controversy between
some Of the big men of the nation as
to their yeraeity. The quarrel is be-
tween the President, Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, and Senator
Bailey, of Texas, and the subject
matterOf the difficulty is as to wheth-
er or not the former has acted in
good faith with the said Senators in
a proposition concerning the Railroad
Rate Sill now pending in Congress.
What the people really care as to
whether the President duped Sena-
tors Tillman, Bailey, and others of
bis political opponents, or whether
he failed to step into the trap set for
him by his scheming political oppo-
nents, that is to say, to open a wide
party breach in the Republican ranks
through the enactment of a law about
the provisions of which brainy men
may and are likely to differ, it is diff
iicult to see, but it is amusing to note
the chagrin and discontinue of the
disappointed Senatorial statesmen.
Charges and counter charges do net
prove a fact. 1t is said the President
stated he favored only specific amend
ments to the rate bill, and this may
be so, but it has not appeared any
where in the war of words between
those belligerent apostles of the ma
ton that the President was not free
to change his mind as exigencies
might arise, and the President doubt
less thinking such contingency was
at hand made terms with his party
friends without notice to those who
were ready to spring the trap and
engult him and bis party into an mex
plicable attitude before the country
whenever the opportunity might
arise.
A law to regulate railroad freight
charges is PROFESSIONALLY needed,
and must be had, but to accomplish
it is a gigantic effort, and a reform
in governmental policy that must be
carefully handled and worked slowly
to succeed. All that is needed in that
lime cannot be obtained at one fell
legislative swoop. Make haste slowly
and the result will be more satisfac-
tory and effective.
The Presidents policy seems to
have been a compromise. He differ
ed strenuously as to the provisions of
the proposed rate law with many
other statesmen equally as honest and
sincere in their purpose to curb the
eantankerous disposition of the rail-
roads to rob the people in the matter
Of freight charges, but he was broad
minded enough to know that in ac-
comprising the end a give and take
policy must be pursued. He pursued
such a policy and as a result the rail
roads will be restricted in their heed
less policy of expressing the people,
and at the same time his party is
kept united.
Having thus done this and all this
under such trying circumstances is it
"a wonder that there should be wall
ing and knashing ofteeth IN a house
hold generated by such man as SEN
ator Tillman?

Horses are surviving automobiles as
they survived railroads. When rail
roads were introduced horse breeders
were as sure that they were ruined as
British ship owners were when the
navigation laws were repealed. But
the British ship owner was never SO
prosperous as after the removal of
medieval legislation, aud horses be-
came more numerous and valuable af-
ter stage coaches were abolished than
they were before. The automobile and
the electric car threw the horse breed
ers into a panic. But the Department
of Agriculture reports that there are
now 1S,71S,57s horses in the United
States, against 14,364 ,G67 nine years

creased from 2,2l5,654 to 3,4O4, 06l,
and the value per head of both beasts
is estimated much higher now thar
