MANY DEATHS FROM THIRST
SOLDIERS OF THE FRENCH ARMY
IN A FIERY HE'LL OF ROCK
AND FLAME.

PARASITIC frightful report of
the death from thirst of a company
Of French soldiers under the COM
mand of an officer in Mauretania is
confirmed by official news that has
just reached the Colonial office. The
Mauritania region where the disas-
ter has happened has been described
by the officers and soldiers who have
served there as a fiery hell of rock
and sand.
Its abandonment has often been
advocated. The region is worthless
for trading purposes; it's occupation
is no good politically, and not a year
passes without its tale of massacres
of military detachments by the saw
age Moors.
The wells are few and far between,
and when fighting is going on the
MOors fill them up on the line of the
French advance. The company now
destroyed numbered 20 men besides
Lieutenant Salere and his subordi-
nate M. Berard.
Adjutant Berard seeing that his
companions were doomed, and feel
ing himself capable of the effort
made for the French fort, which he
reached in three days. The relief
party found that all the men with
their commander had died at the
mouth of a dried up we'll.
The governor general of French
Western Africa advises the abandon
ment of that part of the so-called
possession and retirement to the set
tied cultivated districts of Maureta-
MIA and NJ Girod who is an authority
on Western Africa is going to SUBJ
nit to the Chamber a motion for
withdrawal from country where for
the last century so many lives have
been lost uselessly.

Cocaine Claims Its Victims.
Perhaps cocaine lays more of the
negroes by the heels in the end than
does the knife or the revolver. CO.
came and the vile liquor that is sold
make combination that will speedi-
ly conquer even the sturdy bodies of
these blacks. Selling cocaine is a
felony under the laws of this state,
but when there are many hundreds
OF men in a single settlement that
crave it there always are plenty who
VIII run the risk of prison to pur-
vey it.
Shootings are not confined entirely
TO the saloons between a Saturday
and a Monday night. The bunk
houses furnish their quota during
the week. Ten or dozen men sleep
IN one shack. Toward the week end
when the men are broke" and they
get liquor on credit, but that in lib
eral quantities, quarrels in these
bunk houses are frequent. One line
of shacks is called pistol Row" be-
cause so many shootings have oc-
Cured there.
Within a short time the force of
men at the works will be more than
doubled, and the camp at High Falls
will become even wilder than it is
today,

IinauguratiOns. More and more we
invest our public servants with regal
equipages-at least we permit them
to thus crown themselves.
Under the theory of our govern
ment, national and state, our pres
idents and governors are not rulers,
not monarchs, but eXecutives-men
chosen to execute the will of the
people put into the forms of law.
Roosevelt it was who, in a cable
gram to an old-world ruler, spoke
of the American people as my peo-
pie" We have known small-caliber
governors to do the same thing, and
also other persons who felt them
selves somewhat in authority over
others.
The American people became an
independent and powerful people be-
cause they revolted against the per-
SOnal rule of a crowned head.
1t is time we were getting back
to simpler ways. The great COM
mon sense of the governor-elect-
his dislike for snowy pOmp-his de-
termination not to ape pOtentates-
his democratic methods of thought
and word and deed--wil do a great
deal towards starting a reform very
much needed in our country. Let
US hope that this investment of the
imperial purple under the Teddian
rule, and under the lesser imitatOrs
OF it, has reached the meridian of
its fictitious splendOr; and that the
decline from that dangerous emf
nence has set in.

BURNING UP OF FORESTS.

Some Figures That Show the I'M
mensity of the Match Business.
How many of us ever think when
we light match that we're doing
more damage in year than all the
forest fires in a decade? Fact. We
burn a trIfe of 70O,OOO,00O,0O0
matches every twelve months. We
keep $50 match factories working
overtime, and one of these alone
eats up 100000 feet of yellow pine a
day The idea is general that match
es come from the by-prOducts of
woodworking mills. On the contra
ry, exactly the reverse is the case
Most of our window sashes, shade
rollers and doors are the by-products
of match factories. The match de-
mands the best grade of two-inch
lumber. There are three-score fac
tories in the Great Lake region, and
they turn into matches 225,O0O,
feet of lumber each year. The worst
of it is forests burned up in matches
are not replanted They do some
things better in France and Germany.
In those countries when the match
maker chops down a tree he plants
quick growing one for the next
generation. The simple, common
sense of it is SO apparent it's amaz-
ing we do not practice it.

HOME MADE CLOTHES FOR THE GOVERNOR
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Marietta Journal it is
learned that Governor-elect Joseph
M. Brown will be inaugurated in a
suit of Joe Brown" cheviots made
in Cobb county by new pants fac
tory just established there by Mr.
j. Lindsey Johnson, the brilliant edi-
tor of the Rome Tribune-Herlad,
one Of the brightest and best of the
Georgia dailies. He has bought the
Concord Wooden Mills, and now has
them in operation. Among the pat
terms are stripes and solid cheviots,
black and brown. His brown cloths
are called Joe Brown" cheviots.
The Telegraph is glad to learn of
this Georgia enterprise; and is more
than glad, if the report is true, to
learn that our democratic governor,
who is distinctly Jeffersonian in his
simplicity, is not ashamed to be in
augurated in homemade" clothes.
We are glad that he is going to cut
out the silk-hat and glad-rag parade,
as we'll as the clustering fanfare of
trumpet and drum. Of course the
should be a serious af-
fair-almOst sOlemn-but it is time
we were cutting out, at least in Geor-
gia, vain limitations of royal purple
and regal capers.
When Jefferson was sworn in as
president he rode to the capitol on
horseback and hitched the animal to
a hitching post, and then walked in
to the building and took the oath

THE HIGHEST sALARIED WOMAN
Mrs. JOsefa Osborn Drew as Much
Pay as the President.


Mrs. JOSefa Osborn had claim to
public notice aside from the fact that
she was one of the most successful
dressmakers America had ever
known. Although she got a good
deal of publicity through her legal
entanglements her stage troubles
and her disputes with Mrs. Leslie
Carter and Miss Norma Munroe no
one, so far as is known, called at
tentlon to the fact that she was the
highest salaried woman in the world.
Columns and columns of stuff have
been written about Kate Harrison,
private SECRETARY of H. H. Rogers,
but Miss harrison, getting $4,000
a year, was a hired hand compared
with Mrs. Osborn, who received $780,
OOO-the same pay as the president
of the United States now gets. In
addition to the $4,000 Mrs Osborn
got what the French call ''iagniappe"
in the way of a trip abroad each
year.
Mrs. Osborn worked for several
firms. From the Mrs. Osborn Com
pany she got a salary of $4,000 a
year. Mrs. Osborn was a large stock
holder in the Mrs. Osborn Company,
but the largest block is owned by a
New York lawyer. From a publish
ing house she received $4,000 a
year for certain fashion articles she
was under contract to supply and
from various other sources she re-
ceived nearly $4,000 a year, bring
ing her income up to a little more
than $4,000 year. AS a business

Fertilizer Clerk Johnson has more

Hudson believes that the cut in fer
tilizer prices brought about by the

made a great many buyers suspicious
that the goods they are getting are
not up to snuff. So far, says the

not found a single violation of the
law in any of the samples sent in.
All of them have been just what
they purpOrted to be.

FIRE LAST EVENING
DESTROYS 2-STORY HOUSE

A defective flue was responsible for
fire loss of $500 or $4,000 last eve-
ming, when the residence on the Rugg
Brothers farm, just across the river,
above town, was burned to the ground.
The fire occurred between Z and s
o'clock.
The building destroyed was a two
story frame structure but as no family
was living there the loss to furnish
ings will be small. The only person
on the farm at the time was hired
man and the fire which he started
in the stove was responsible for the
destruction of the building. The
flames first gained their start in the
attic and when discovered were too
far advanced to give the man a chance
to extinguish them. No insurance was
carried on property.
