Decline in China's Tea Trade.

Some interesting statistics have
been collected recently by a resident
at Fuchau concerning the great de
cline in Chinas tea trade. From 1878.
when tea was first introduced into
England, until 1897 China had the
tea trade of the world. Then lrsiia
began to enter the tea market. The
Chinese trade reached high tide in
1886, with total export of 300 1000, 600
pounds. In 1884 China furnished about
72 per cent of the worlds total, India
and Ceylon is per cent and Japan and
Formosa ten per cent. The decline
in China is ascribed to careless meth
DDS of cultivating and preparing the
tea.

A SHORT ROAD TO r1rsERY.

Begin by fancying that no one cares for you; that you are not of any use to anybody-a sort of nonentity in the household, where your place would not be missed, but easily supplied Reflect on your want of beauty, and lead yourself to believe that no one can love plain face, or think you agreeable because there are others more charming. Fancy that every one who looks upon you makes a mental comparison which initiates against you in favor of some one else. Imagine that every word said in jest is only meant to cover a deeper and more painful mean ing-that every article of wearing apparel you don is criticised and ridiculed. Do all this and your tendency to morbidity of feeling will so increase that in a very short time you will become one of the most miserable of human be- ings.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD WIFE
 UNHAPPY

See your wife seldom as possible
 If she is warm hearted and cheer full in temper, or if, after 8 days or a weeks absence, she meets you
 with a smiling face and in an aff- ectionate manner, be sure to look coldly upon her and answer with monosyllables. If she forces back her tears and is resolved to look
 cheerful, sit down and gape in her
 presence, till she is fully convinced of your indifference. Never think you have anything to do to make her happy, but that her happiness is to flow from gratifying your caprices; and when she has done all a woman can do, be sure you do not appear gratifed. Never take an interest in any of her pur- suits and if she asks your advice make her feel that she is trouble some and impertinent. If she at tempts to rally you good-naturedly on any of your peculiarities, never join in the laugh but frown her in- to silence. If she has faults (which, without doubt, she will
 have, and perhaps may be igno- rant of) never attempt with kind ness to correct them, but continu. ally obtrude upon her ears 1: "What a good wife MT. Smith has !' "How happy Mir. Smith is with his wife! !" "Any man would
 be happy with such wife!' In company never seem to know you
 have a wife. Treat all her re-
 marks with indifference. Be very affable and complaisant to every
 other lady. If you follow these
 directions, you may be certain of
 an obedient and heart broken wife.

TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF
 WOODRUFF COUNTY.

I want to thank my friends who supported me in the campaign just closed. We made an honest fight, and appreciate the generous de- sire of my friends to support me, because of my advocacy of clean government and honest methods in our county affairs. We made a gallant fight, and, while we have lost, I feel that the fight has not been in vain, for I believe the tax payers of Woodruff County will be benefited in the future.
 To my friends who did not sup port me, I hold no malice what ever, toward them, for l believe they thought and believed l was honest in my charges, but let their sympathy control them.
 To the good women, l want to thank you for your influence in my behalf for advocating honest county affairs.
 To the young ladies, l want to thank you for letting your sweet hearts hang on the old gate while you were trying to get him to promise to give me his support. This is leap year and l am willing to assist you by signing my name to a marriage license.
 To all the boys, l sure did apprecl- ate the interest that you took in my behalf. Never mind, however, there will be another day when you can vote. Now, I will say to the voters of Woodruff County, l am a democrat and always cheer fully and gladly bow to the will of the majority. To them that SUD- ported me and to them that did not support me.
 I will and shall in the future give you the same administration, in this, the county clerks office, that have in the past and l shall try and go out of this office on the 31st day of October, 1908, with clean hands, and feeling that l have done my duty to all alike.

 Be in the bed of honor lain,
 He that is beaten may be said
 To lie in honor's truckle-bed. "

The Road To Success.

The world is wide. If you wish to be somebody, "pitch in," The brave always have friends. Where others have gone you can go. If the old track don't suit you, make new one; somebody will walk in it. Don't hurry too fast, espec- ially till you know the road or be- come acquainted with your team.
 Mind your own business and look after it yourself. Don't stop to club whifits or to retail gossip.
 You may grow weary, but remem- Der this is not world of ease, and rest lies beyond. Success is never obtained in country like this without effort. If you fail once,
 try again. If you fall down, get up. If it is dark, strike a light.
 If you are in the shade, move around; If there is shade on one side there is sure to be sunshine on the other. It takes longer to skin an elephant than mouse but then the skin is worth something. Never be content with doing what another has done, excel him. A trade is a good thing to have; it is better than gold-brings a larger premium. But to make 8 premium, the trade must be perfect no sil- yer plated affair. Determine in your mind to be a good workman, or let the job out. Learning a trade is different from eating mush and milk-mechanical education does not slip down without chew ing. Never slight your work, never. Every job you do is a sign. Poor signs are against suc- cess. People always speak well of a boy who minds his business and who seems to be disposed to be somebody in time. This is a queer world many people are watching us, and help often comes when and from whom we least expect. Confidence is the safe in which men often deposit rich treasures, and as you prove worthy so will your reward of success be. There is reward in success, which none but those who strive can enjoy. Deserve success and it will come.

ON TO COLLEGE.

If you have boy or girl in your home, of the proper age, who has an ambition to go to college, and the necessary educational prepara- tion, supply the opportunity, even at some sacrifice on the part of the rest of the family. Most parents are willing to do everything in reason for their children, but not every parent can see the desirabil- ity or necessity of furnishing a college education for their off spring. They argue that they had none of these advantages in their youth and that they got along all right and therefore the children do not need it. Can a boy blow corn any better with college diploma sticking out of his pistol pocket, or can girl make better pies be- cause she can conjugate the verb ito love" in three different langu- agesi To this we would answer, Yes.
 By this we do not mean that the college bred farmer can turn a heater or truer furrow than his country cousin, who never attended anything but a district school. But the college bred farmer will have larger and truer conception of life. Because his mind has been broadened and developed, the best that is in him has had a chance to develop, and he will go through life splendidly equipped to make the best of everything. A college education seldom converts a fool into a wise man, but if there is anything in one, it brings it to the surface and enables him to make the best use of such facul- ties as nature has endowed him with.
 Who knows what that bright boy or girl of yours might develop into if given chancei Because your life may have been narrow and cramped, denied you, don't with hold them from the young people, who in the struggle of life in the years to come, will need the full measure of the powers that now lie dormant and latent within them. Give the boy or girl a chance, and if nothing else comes of it, they will be better men and women for the time spent within college walls. And better men and women is the crying need of the world, yesterday, today and forever.

LATER RETURNS MAKE
NO CHANGE.

OFFICIAL FIGURES Do Nor Cur
 DOWN NoRwooD's LEAD FOR
 ATTORNEY GENERAEAN N-
 DREWs STILL CLAIMS VICTORY.
 Related returns received yester- day failed to make any change in the attorney general race, in which Hal. l.. Norwood seems to be lead ing P. R. Andrews by a con- fortable margin. What few add itional returns were recieved last night made only a slight change in the figures as given iu the Gazette yesterday morning. The returns from Cleburne county raised An. drews vote in that county from 756 to 9O2 but they also raised Nor woods vote from 303 to 341 The returns from Nevada county show ed Norwoods vote in that county to have been 821 instead of 739, as previously reported, and reported and Andrews vote to be 549 instead of 546. These and other minor changes were not sufficient to cut down Norwood's lead to any extent and he still has the majority of ne- arly 5000 on the face of the ret urns.
 There are still number of large counties from which the offical re- turns have not been recieved and the vote in these counties is not included in the above figures on which Norwoods present lead is estimated.
 MIR. ANDREWS STATEMENT.
 The statement given out by MT. Andrews is as follows:
 Notwithstanding the fact that  my opponent, MT. Norwood, claims, through the figures as re- ported in the Gazette of March 31, that he has defeated me for the nomination for attorney general by a majority of several thousand votes, I deserve to assure my friends and the public in general that these statements are grossly inaccurate.
