deliberations of the city council were
presided over by Mayor Pro Tenn Straub
Thursday night, and the alacrity with
which he pushed along the business
was most commendable. After dis
posing of the routine business, such as
reading of the minutes of the previous
meeting and monthly reports Of various
officers, a general discussion of the well
fare of the city was indulged in. For the
first time in many moons there was
nothing of new nature injected. thus
leaving the members free to consider
not only the financial conditions but
but also many other topics.

THE LAST OF THE PIRATES
CHINESE OUTLAWS PLY THEIR
TRADE IN INLAND WATERS,
BlOOdiest Pirate Fleet in History
Was Commanded by a Chinaman.
A Noted Woman Pirate.


A Noted Woman Pirate.
Few ships are absolutely safe in
certain Chinese waters and for this
reason English authorities are threat
ening to patrol the rivers and canals
in that country in order to wipe out
the pirates and freebooters who even
in this day persist in plying their
trade upon the inland water courses.
So strongly has the habit of piracy
become ingralned in the Chinese
character that heroic measures may
be necessary to uproot it.
Time was when all the adjacent
waters of the Pacific were cruising
grounds for piratical junks and many
a merchant vessel has fallen prey to
the slant-eyed bandits of the sea.
A hundred years ago the bloodiest
pirate fleet in Chinese history was
commanded by Woo-che-tsing, who
assumed the romantic title of
'Scourge of the Eastern Seas" At
times thousands of junks were under
command of this man.
About this time, too, one of the
most adventurous and daring woman
pirates of all time sprang into the
limelight.
In 1907 the chief outlaw of all the
Chinese coast, Ching-yih, persisted in
a violent gale His widow at once
took command OF the pirate fleet and
more than a hundred fights showed
that her teeth were those of the bar
barian.
She was the new woman" of her
time in the east. Men feared her and
obeyed, even the most uncomfortable
and bloodthirsty.
Rigid discipline and exact submits
sion were demanded by her and
readily given. She paid for what
supplies she demanded ashore, but
was merciless in hel exactions from
prizes afloat.
While of late years the good, old
fashioned pirate has been compare
lively scarce off Chinese coast he
works at full blast in scores of Sc
cluded little harbors and on the
rivers and canals of the interior.
Almost any piratical expedition
may be organized at Shanghai. There
one may find the flotsam and jetsam

of the world awaiting employment.
These become, on occasions, modern
buccaneers. They organize raids,
plan piracies and engage in any des-
perate enterprise that promises large
returns. They are simply following
the example set for them by their
predecessors.
In China there are long, beautiful
stretches of water where there are
no representatives of law and order
and where the black-hearted pirates
may hold up travelling junks when
and where they please and, after
gayly pillaging them, escape into the
interior, where they are quite safe
from all pursuit. 1t may be a long
time before this form of piracy is dis
counted and stopped 1t is the last
form of the famous piracies of China
and those piracies are the last
piracies of the world.
Difficult, indeed, mas it been to con-
vince these people that their bucca-
neering exploits are unlawful, with
out the endorsement of civilization
and abhorrent to mankind.
They have been pirates for cent
uries; they wish to be pirates still,
and they resent bitterly the edict
of civilization that they shall no
longer be "the scourge of the east
ern seas"

things there. 1t is hard to save
from small wages at best, and es-

The profit of the installment agent
would be enormous were it not Tor
the fact that he frequently is a loser
in the game by his customers moving
without notifying him of their new
address. A tailor-made suit which is
sold for $50 costs the agent exactly
half. In fancy lamps, fine china, and
similar articles the profit is from 400
to 600 per cent. Rugs come also in
the 900 per cent class. These large
profits, however, are not always con-
ducive to prosperity and success in
the business. Here, too, it is contin-
uous application and patience that
counts.
Il have seen men go into this
business with few hundred dol
lars" one agent said, and lose every
cent of it inside OF four months.
Others, however, have amassed
wealth at it and own whole blocks
of real estate. They have done this
by having what we call dogs legs,
by being on their feet any time of
the day or night when there is pos
sibility of making a deal or getting
a new customer"

MERCHANTS HAVE NO STORES

of Goods. Many Get Rich.
There are hundreds of merchants
in the large cities who deal in all
kinds of merchandise without owning
dollars worth of goods, without
having anywhere a warehouse, or
paying rent for a store. All that one
finds about them, or with them, is a
substantial bundle of bills which tell
OF sales of various articles, from a
talIor-made suit to a monograph or
baby carriage, and of weekly collec-
tons to be made on these sales.
These dealers are perhaps better
described as installments agents.
Some of them, who are beginners in
the business, sell on commission. The
agent OF experience, however, refuses
10 work for somebody else and be-
comes an independent dealer, having
Iof his stock of merchandise large
quantities of cards, with his name

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT UNIQUE
A Candidate for the Legislature in
OcOnee County Has a Great
Platform.

Mr.. A. s. Ward, of Oconee county,
in announcing his candidacy for the
legislature puts forth the following
platform:
To the Voters of Oconee County:
| hereby announce my candidacy for
the legislature from OcOnee county,
subject to the action of the white
primary to be held on June 4th, on
the following platform:
First. AS good many people be-
lieye in planting their cotton, corn
and watermelons on the moon, l am
in favor of legislating the moon
closer to the earth.
Second. AS it doesn't cost the
railroads much to run, and as they
damages, l am in favor of requiring
the transportation of passengers for
one cent per mile.
Third All farmers who raise
nothing but cotton should have
their meat, corn and other supplies
hauled to them by the railroads free
of charge, as the charges on cotton
are high enough to enable them to
do this.
Fourth. If the south should make
100000 bales of cotton l favor
Legislation requiring zoe per pound
for same; if 100000 bales then
15c per pound for it.
Fifth. AS many people are like me
cant always resist temptation
think it best to put liquor where it
can't even be shipped to u.s.
Sixth. If l can't do the things
am pledged to do can at least sit
there and draw my pay as the others
do. A. S. WARD.
