a Tragic Finish.

A watchman's neglect permitted a
leak in the great North Sea dyke, which
a child's finger could have stopped, to
become runious break, devastating an
entire province of Holland. In like man
ner Kenneth McIver, of Vanceboro, Me-,
permitted little cold to go unnoticed
until a tragic finish was only averted by
DR.. Kings New Discovery. He writes:

"Before I wrote to you, telling you how I
felt, 7 had doctored for over two years steady

Beer Through the State Board

Charleston, June 28.-An order has
gone into effect here requiring the
local hotels having dispensary privi-
leges to purchase their supplies of beer
through the State board of control.
The members of the board visited
Charleston some weeks ago and spent
some time here and the action of the
board, as just announced, is probably
the result ol their mission here, which
had such an air of mystery about it at
the time. No reason is given for re-
stricting the hotels to purchase GER
tain brands of beer through the State
board.-The State.

A Letter from Georgia.
) the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
This is a good country, in fact the
land is rich, producing great quantities
of corn and cotton, and of course
growing wealthy. The manners of
the people are plain, frank, hospitable
and independent-pro of Bullock
county and all it's pecuiarities.
suppose no set of people in the world
live more at ease or indeed more
luxuriously so far as eating and drink
inc is concerned. 1t is moreover
moral region. No gambling, no dis
sipation or froicking. If anyone
wisheslto know where this neighbor-
hood is, it is twelve miles north OF
Statesboro, and has the fine Ogeechee
river for its boundary on the north.
Observe its rapid increase as time
progresses. Population has grown
and the volume of business in every
line has correspondingly increased:
New cotton mills are going up and
older ones are spreading out as rule
and the worlds supply of cotton IS
short, so we may comfort ourselves
that we can have fairly good price
for what we make, if it is an average
crop, but if the crop is short we my
look for an extra good price for all we
make.
The rain since the first of May has
made it almost impossible for the
farmers to keep the grass down.
Some fields have been abandoned, so
we are informed and unless conditions
change the crop viii be materially
cut in this section.

Will Go After All.

The adjutant generals Office receiv-
ed a letter from the war department
saying that the $4,000, which Gen
eral Frost asked about, would be
available for the purposes of the
Chickamauga encampment. This will
afford enough money for the three
regiments to go to the interstate en-
campment, so it is likely that all
three will go after all. The regiments
will 60 out separately, the first to
leave the last week in July. Gen
eral Frost himself is in Charleston
today.

Make the wine the day the berries

put three quarts of water and two

shake it, even by faint jar, for six
weeks; then the fermentation is over
and it may be racked off and bottled
