OF the nat racing having no Jurisdiction

GOOD EYFSIGHT.

II is said that the best eyesight Is
possessed by those people whose lands
are vast and barren. and where obsta-
cles tending to shorten the sight are
few. Eskimos will detect a white fox
IN the snow a great distance away,
while the Arabs IN the deserts
of Africa have such extreme pow
ers OF vision that on the vast plains
OF the desert they will pick out objects
invisible 20 the ordinary eve. Among
civilized people the NOrwegians have
better eyesight than most others.

Cost Of Lieht Plant. 81, J

During the past five years, much
has been said about the adyisa-
bility and inadsisabllit of In
staHlng water and electric light
plants in the town Of Edgefeld.
In the-abserce of any accurate or
well founded estimate, there has
been a wide difference of opinion
ssas to the actual cost of installing
such plants. In supplying water
for two towns of the same size
there may be great difference in
the cost, owing to the source from
which the water is obtained, but
in generating electricity for two
towns of the same size there should
bs but little difference. Therefore,
VIC give the actaal cost of putting
ting an electric plant in the town
of Bamberg, a town of afew hun
dred population less than that of
cur town. According to publish
ed statement Bamberg's light
plant cost s16,S20,30. tits safe, to
say then that plant that would
meet the needs of this town, scat
tered asst is over a large area, would
cost something like seventeen or
eighteen thousand dollars.

DR.. r. J. Willlngham, chair.
man of the Foreign Mission Board
of the Southern Baptists, in ser
mon in Augusta on Sunday last
made the following significant
statement that contains food fo1
thought and reflection:
.sOur great nation is doomed
to perish by the hand Of the
heathen hordes of Asia, unless
ne send to them the saving gos-
pei Of Jesus Christ. What could
our armies do against the five
hundred million Chinese and
Japanese trained in the arts of
modern warfare as they are now
being trained? The only saliva
tion for this country is to give
them Christianity"
It is a singular coincidence
that the paper that announced the
foregoing warning from Dr.. Will
bingham also contained a dis
patch setting forth grievances of
the Japanese and containing
threats of war unless suitable
reparation Is made by the United
States. The dispatch gives to the
world the following statement
from Japanese who is high in
authority:
1.-THE persecution of the Jaoa
nese IN San Frapcisco is most
wicked action. Should diplo-
