all who could get away were seek
ing safety across the border.
Among these last were three
brothers named Kurovski. They
had fought splendidly, but, when
the battle was over, they had
been fortunate enough toescape.
Their estates were confscated, of
course, and their blood attaint-
ed. One of them went to France,
where he died. What became of
the second brother cannot be re-
called. But the third made his
way, first, to Java; thence to
Japan. He married a Japanese
lady of the Samurai caste, and
settled down as a subject of the
mikado. His son is the present
General Kuroki. Thechild of the
Polish nobleman whom Russia
drove a beggar from his home is
the man who has headed the ar
mics of a nation on the other side
of the globe, and on a dozen bat
tlefelds has driven the troops of
the car in headlong rout before
him. All the taxes Russia has
ever raised from the stolen terri
tory would not half pay for the
damage she has suffered at the
hands of this one exile's son.

The pure food law has already
accomplished good results and
it's strict enforcement promises
the greatest of boons to the peo-
pie. Health, happiness, life itself,
depends upon the wholesomeness
of the food we eat. Farmers are
more interested in this matter
than all others. AS they are the
chief producers of food and have
only the pure article to sell, they
are interested for financial as
well as moral reasons in seeing
that their products reach the
consumer in pure state. Ii adul-
terated or otherwise tempered
with, the consumers sure to find
1T out IN the long run and cease
buying. Thus the market falls
off. The law aims to punish
those who make vile limitations
and label them as pure, or those
who mix injurious ingredients
with the original article and palm
off the half-and-half stuff on a
gullible public. 1t has for years
been anational abomination and
had got SO that it was almost
impossible to buy anything pure
which could be manipulated or
iuggled with by the adulterators.

FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1907.
Kuroki the Son of a Pole.

Myron Reed once preached a
sermon on "Poetic Justice" "a
sermon which, in the minds of
those who heard it, was one of
the masterpieces of pulpit litera-
ture. His text, of course, was
the much quoted passage from
Esther: $50 they hanged Hannah
on the gallows he had prepared
for Mordecai." Reed admitted,
in the course of his sermon, that
poetic justice is not SO common
in this world as we might wish;
but, he said, it is vastly more
common than we sometimes
think. As one of many illustra-
tions, he told of an instance that
came his way one time down in
New Orleans. 1t was the day of
the death of that splendid soldier
and Christian gentleman, Robert
E. Lee. The city was in mourn
ing, ofcourse. Houses and stores
we're hung with black. One man,
a bookseller, had covered with
crepe a great globe that stood
before his doors-a globe with
the map of the world upon it.
But the wind had ruffled the
draperies, and, when Reed came
along, Europe, and Asia, and
America, and the islands of the
sea all were in mourning; but
Africa was smiling in the sun.
An instance OF poetic justice
quite equal to this is recalled by
the present visit of General Ku-
roki to jamestown.
Ii there is a land in the great
round world on which the hand
OF the oppressor has been heavy,
that land is Poland. Parted
among the three imperial thieves
OF Europe, Russia, as the great
est brigand OF them all, got the
lions share, and like a brigand
did she treat her spoil. No one
has ever questioned the courage
Of the Poles. But they have al
ways been fatally divided; and
even united they had but a frac-
ton OF the strength of the car.
Yet again and again they have
revolted; they have faced over
whelming odds with reckless
courage, and Russia has calmly
poured out blood by the bucket
ful till therevolution was quench-
ed.

ate OF these reyolts camel 1880.

safely used. Some of these are for the
use of bordeaux mixture, paris green.
the various arsenical poisons. kerosene

Good Citizenship.

We are in receipt of the Detroit,
Minnesota Record which contains
lengthy account Of recent meeting
of the Detroit Commercial Club. The
opening speech was made by Presi-
dent A. F. Anundsen and he says
some things so forcibly with reference
to good citizenship that we quote
what the Record says about him:
President Anundsen welcomed the
visitors in behalf of the Commercial
Club and in his usual happy vein told
of the opportunities that are here
offered if only the people will work
in harmony for general advancement.
He said in his opinion the greatest
detriment to the progress of any COM
munity was the frequent expression
of doubt in the ability of the people
to accomplish desired results. He had
no time for quitter or q knocker.
He believed that if the people x1fe-
united upon the accomplishment of
any reasonable and desirable public
project--it could be accomplished.
He admired the booster-the man who
is always ready to put shoalder to
the wheel. and he expressed satisfac-
tion upon the fact that so many had
responded to the invitation of the
Club to get together at this meeting
for the discussion of questions that
are of vital importance to the entire
county

A movement has been made in New
York, headed by Jacob Schiff pro-
minent Hebrew, to induce his country
men to settle in the west instead of
in the congested cities of the east and
to take up farming as an occupation.
In the year 1906 the approximate
number of Jews arriving in this
country was i54. 900 and practically
the entire number located in the cities
New York. Philadelphia and Boston.
To accomplish the movement in
changing the tide of immigration
Schiff has established an immigration
bureau at Galveston. Texas, from
which all arrangements will be made
for settling or colonizing these people
west of the Mississippi. Schiff is
very enthusiastic over the movement
and says that he is prepared to spend
half million dollars to carry out his
ideas.

Some Valuable Patents.

Upon stepping into the office of DR..
T. @. Hutchinson the other day. he
informed us that he had just closed a
contract with large Chicago firm. to
manufacture and market % different
tools having different applications, all
containing the DOCTORS forcep prin-
ciple. from each application of which
he will get good royalty. This looks
like good thing for the doctor. as
we understand that he has some strong
patents. The principle includes al
most an unlimited field, covering ap-
pliances used by surgeons. dentists,
jewellers, machinists and the general
hardware trade.

1t is announced that John ID. Rookie
feller is planning to give $50, 600, 900
for the purpose of lifting the Chinese
in their own country to the plane of
civilization of the American people.
This is the largest sum ever given
singly for the carrying out Of phil
anthropio purpose. Net long since
Mr.. Rockefeller gave S32, GOO, 600 to
the cause of general education, and at
that time limited that another still
greater gift would be forthcoming.
The plan of the latter is to establish
throughout China institutions of
learning unconnected with religious
organizations in any way whatever,
where the mandarin classes may learn
by teaching and association the value
of higher civilization.
In the present municipal campaign,
the question for the hone.t voter to
determine is not whether he personal
ly likes or dislikes the candidate, but
whether he will give more efficient
service to the city than his opponent
Has his past record rs a citizen or a
business or professional man been
honorable and successful? Has he al
ways been on the side of improve
ment, of advancement, of the square
deal for every man? Has he always
paid his honest debts in full, has he
advocated those things which make
for the most good for the greatest
number? Is he capable to properly
represent the city before visitors,
either on the platform or socially? In
fine, does he possess those various pe'
culiar qualities which unite in max.
ing a man of power, of influence, OF
ability and OF discretion. Such is the
man who should receive your vote.

A Uniuue Exhibit.

A unique exhibition was given on
the public square in front Of tn'
court house on Tuesday afternoon,
when a small house and other exhlb-
it's, painted with Gibraltar fire proof
paints, were set on fire and refused
to burn. Excelsior was piled inside
the house and outside, and a hot fire
was kindled, but very little damage
was done to the house.
The Southern Gibraltar Paint and
Roofing company, of Charleston,
sent a representative in the person OF
Mr.. T. A. Gould to Newberry to IN
troduoe their paint, and to make
GOOD his assertions he gave the ex-
hibition on Tuesday.
The exhibition was successful IN
every respect. After the fire had
been allowed to burn for a consider
able time, the water was turned on,
and the house had stood staunch and
firm.
The paint is on sale by the New
berry Hardware company. After the
exhibition of Tuesday, it will easily
find ready sale.
