I've been thinking that perhaps some

woods. csllea it old, but DO not know
its age. Sometimes we pass. in our

whether from age or neglect YOU cannot
tell We have been told that before the
war, wealthy persons from Charleston
had summer homes here and those NAV
be the old houses we see.

and that only a short ways But the
walks are very good, hard sand that
dries as soon as the rain ceases. The
walks thrO' the woods are fine. wide
roads with walks on each side and deep
bitches on each side Of walks in low
places. Bridges verywhere-someo only
a plank or two and others. over streams.

Is well drained. And oil, the trees-I

BREAD RIOT MAY
 BREAK OUT AGAIN

Glasgow. September 6.-For two days past Glasgow has been threatened with a recurrence of the bread riots, follow ing an attempt made on Thursday of a large number of employees to force A hearing before the municipal council. The trouble culminated today when a large number of socialists and unemployed men, who had assumed a very threaten ing attitude in the last 24 hours took part in hostile demonstration against Prince Arthur of Connaught on the occasion of the review of 10000 members of the Boys Brigade.
 Glasgow has recently been deprived of cavalry which was stationed here and the only troops present today was a guard of honor composed of infantry, but the authorities, fearing trouble greatly strengthened the police forces which succeeded in overpowering the crowd of 5000 malcontents. They had gathered along the line of march and bands of them during the early part of the ceremonies made ugly rushes In the direction of the princes carriage, but were quickly checked by the police They were compelled to content themselves with hooting and singing the Marsemaise and other revolutionary songs, which they kept up despite the rain during the three hours of the review and the luncheon in the city hall at which the prince was entertained.

UNMARKED GRAVE
 OF OLD VAR HERO
Col. Benjamin Hawkins Served
 Under Washington
ACTED AS AN INTERPRETER
As Superintendent of Indian Affairs Colonel Hawkins Controlled Four Tribes in the South With
 Exceptional Ability

Atlanta. September 6.-While stroll ing recently over his uncle's planta- ton in Crawford county, N. F. Walker came upon the grave of Col. Benjamin Hawkins, for many years agent of h. dian affairs in Georgia, but now long since forgotten. MT Walker writes that the brick wall protecting the grave has fallen down and that it is all grown over with bushes. He expresses the opinion that a monument should be erected marking the burial place of so distinguished a citizen.
 MT. Walkers discovery led to in- quiry regarding the history of Col Hawkins, and brief account of his career has been dug out of an ancient volume by former Gov. Allen D. Cand- Ter, compiler of Georgia's colonial and revolutionary records.
 Benjamin Hawkins was superintend- ent of Indian affairs, under appoint ment from President Washington, from 17S9 to 1795. He had charge of all the vast territory south of the Ohio river and between the Savannah and the Mississippi. Col. Hawkins was born in Yates county. North Carolina, August -15, 1754. He acquired a splendid edu- cation and spoke the French language fluently. Being with Washington at the battle of Monmouth, he was re- tained by him as interpreter, and through him all communication with the French officers in the American army was carried on
 From 17S1 to 17S7 Col. Hawkins was a delegate in Congress from North Carolina, and subsequently, United States senator from the same state. The territory over which he had control as superintendent of Indian affairs, was occupied by the four great tribes-the Creeks, Oh erokees. Choctaws and Chick asaWs. Under his care and manage ment the southern Indians made much progress In civilization. Many of them built and lived in good houses, and there are in certain sections of this and other states substantial brick houses standing today which were con- structed by Indians nearly a century ago. There were among the Indians those who owned large and well cultl- vated farms, and some of them had many negro slaves. There were also some churches and schools.
 Col. Hawkins was a man of superior ability, lofty character and fine liter ary attachments, having been educated at Princeton college, and when he died he left some valuable writings on topography and Indian character Whilu in Congress he voted to locate the seat of government of the United States on the Potomac.
 He owned a large and well stocked farm in the midst of the Creek nation. on which he always lived and on which he died and was buried in 1S16. This farm was on the Flint river in what is now Crawford county, Georgia. It was there that MT Walker recently came across the grave and now suggests that some provision should be made for it's care and preservation.

EMPEROR'S PLAY
 PROVES FAILURE

Berlin, September 6.-(Special. 1.-The Kaiser, like humber playwrights, knows the bitterness of failure. The Emperor learned this when he read the Wednes- day papers. Critics were not afraid to score even him for inartistic work An evil genius seems to dog the Kaisers artistic undertakings. His gift to Berlin of series of statues of all his ances- tors, his huge cathedral opposite the Schloss, his cartoon on the Yellow Peril, his song to Aegis (words by Prince Eu- lenberg); his opera, Roland of Branden- berg" for which Leoncavallo composed the music, were all roasted by critics
 The Kaiser's historic pantomime, "Sar- danapalus,' produced by the Kaiser's direction, day and night, has scored frost which would have chilled even Broadway.
 The Kaiser for months worked hard to make his ballet a success. He failed All the critics in Germany with rare exceptions, dared tell the Emperor he failed. The Emperor's temper after read ing his first night notices is reported as vicious. The Kaiser's three eminent col laborators, Professor Delitzch, who pro- vided the production; Professor Schar who wrote the melodies; Herr Lauf, poet and dramatist, who with the Kaiser wrote the prelude and versfied the in- terludes, could not save the piece from failure.

PRINCE STUDIES HARD.
The Crown Prince of Germany Is Not
 In the Ministry for Fun.

Berlin, September 6.-At the sug- gestion of the Emperor the studies of Crown Prince Frederick William rela- tive to the international administra- tion of the empire are to be widely extended. The Prince heretofore has confined his observations to affairs un- der the charge of the ministry of the interior in which he has been engaged for more than year. He examined into all the departments of this min- istry and suggested a number of ad- ministrative reforms.
 The Prince has now decided to enter the finance ministry at an early date for three months, so that he may ob- tain an insight into the national rev enue and expenditures. After that ne will be transferred to the ministry of marine and later to other sections of the public service.

masses will. despite the vast amount of money to be thrown into this campaign by corporations. select William Jennings Bryan as the representative of the Amer ican people, and as the head of the greatest nation that today exists in the world,
 Democrats at national headquarters of the party in this city were somewhat amused when they read the story In a New York dispatch which stated that there Is ''much jubilation on the part of republican campaign officials at their headquarters here"
 The occasion for the jubilation on the part of the republicans is not disclosed in this New fork dispatch. While dem- ocrats here attach no importance or sig nificance to the Vermont result they can not escape the fact that the republican majority of yesterday Is less than it has been in any year since 1892 when democrat was elected President of the United States If there is any real sig- nificance to be attached to the result in Vermont 1t Is in the reduced republican vote in the state. following the unprece- dented effort of the republican national committee to roll up big majority. The latest figure shows that the decrease In the republican vote Is more than 6 per cent, while the decrease Tn the democrat ic vote is less than half that figure
 The democratic campaign In Vermont was in striking contract to the active efforts of the republicans both state and national The democratic national committee made no effort whatever in the state. Not a single piece of litera- ture went from national headquarters in this city and no speakers were assigned to the state. Advices received by Chair man Mack some four or five days ago were to the effect that the republican national committee had circulated more literature In Vermont in this campaign than in recent years. Another writer stated that the republicans had more inn ported speakers available than 1t could use In the light of this activity on the part of the national republican campaign managers. the democrats of Vermont ,, have done great deal better than we expected.
 The speakers bureau of the democratic
 national committee Is arranging dates for many of the prominent party orators.
