NO ADVANCE in LUMBER.
Lumber Dealers Place Orders With
Mills.

Valdosta, Ga-The lumbeh brokers
in this city were somewhat amused
and the saw mill owners incensed by
the publication of a dispatch from Sa-
yannah in the state papers recently,
to the effect that the mill men of
Georgia, and other states bid fair to
"l1ill the goose that laid the golden
egg by arbitrarily raising the prices
of lumber anywhere from SO to 81. per
thousand feet, and by ignoring the
brokers in that city.
Valdosta wholesalers say they are
experiencing no trouble in placing
all the orders they have with the mill
men in this section at practically the
prices that have ruled for some time.
In no cases are they paying more than
SLIPS advance over the prices Of even
four or six months.

Practical Icehouse.

space sufficiently large, that the sides
of the building are kept from becom-
ing warm by the cool current which
passes from the ground up and into
the ice chamber. A 12x1S-inch blind
at each gable permits free circula-
ton of air and is in my estimation
better than a cupola as there is more
of draft over the ice AS is shown
In the cut there are double doors four
feet wide extending from the founda-
ton to the caves. A 4x4-inch scantling
put In the peak for attaching a double
pulley, facilitates the handling of the
ice; the man In the wagon sets the
tongs in = cake and another man In
the door ay seizes it with his tongs
as il is drawn up: in this way only
three men are nee essary at the build
ing, one to unload and two to pack.
Beneath the building a number of
eight-inch tiles are set on end with a
little piece of board over each; on the
dirt floor is six inches of sawdust. The
cakes OF ice are set on edge, each tier
being finished and covered with a
layer of sawdust before another is
begun. Ii is better not to have the
cakes too close together, so that the
sawdust will sift down between. Saw
dust is better than cracked ice to all
in with, as 1t does not leave air spaces
and also prevents the cakes from
freezing together so solidly. When fill
ing, loose boards are placed In front
Of the doors and about ten or twelve
inches back Of them is filled in with
sawdust. Our icehouse is filled from
a pond about mile away. Ice saws
are used, and the cakes cut from 25 to
30 inches square; a common wagon
box will hold two tiers, 80 cakes Of 49,
inch ice. The capacity of this ice.
house is 40 tons, but of course any
size could be built on the same plan,
and larger one would keep the ice In
q much better condition

SHOW HATRED OF FOREIGNERS
Chinese Historical Plays That Keep
Alive Race Prejudice.

Historical plays are acted every
whore In China. They are popular In
the quiet villages, the homes Of the
rich, in the crowded cities, and In the
busy market towns. These plays are
written with the object Of intensity
ing the bitterness and contempt Of the
people against the foreigner. The
story Of plunderings and massacres Of
their forefathers is vividly portrayed,
with all the dramatic power that the
actors possess. The foreigner 10 rep
resented as a monster in appearance.
His face II dragged out Of shape and
his mouth Is made to appear near his
ear. His beard on one side IL red and
on the other blue His eyes are fierce
and staring, and murder as stamped
upon his hideous features. The peo-
pie Of the interior, who have never
come into actual contact with the for.
eigner, have this conception Of the
hated barbarian. To their minds
Americans, French, English, Germans
are all alike. barbarians to be de-
stroyed.

BALD HEADS
NOT WANTED
Badness Is Too Generally Considered
Sign of Advanced Age

A.bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because badness
is too generally accepted as an indica-
ton of age. Many large corporations
haye established an age limit and refuse
10 take men over 35 years OF age as new
employees.
Almost 85% of bald headed people
may regain a good head of healthy hair
If they will follow our advice and accept
our offer. We have remedy that we
positively guarantee To grow hair on
any head, unless the roots of the hair
are entirely dead, their follicles closed
shiny. We want people to try this
understanding that unless il does eX-
actly what we claim it will and gives
satisfaction in every respect, we shall
make no charge for the remedy used
during the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back OF
our statements no one should scoff,
doubt our word or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test.
We want everyone in Bedding who is
suffering from any scalp or hair trouble,
dandruff, falling hair or badness to try
our Rexall 1897 Hair Tonic. We want
them to use it regularly-say until three
bottles have been used-and if ii does
not eradicate dandruff, cleanse and re-
fresh the scalp, tighten the hair in its
roots and grow new hair, we will return
every cent paid us for the remedy fol
the mere asking. There is no formality
expected, and we exact no obligation
from the user whatever.
We are established right here in Beld.
ing, and make this offer with full
understanding that our business success
entirely depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers, and we
would not dare make the above Offer
unless we were positively certain that
we could substantiate il in every par
ticular. Two sizes, soc and S1.0O. Con

Peculiar African Race.

There Is peculiar sort of people
living In northwest Rhodesia. These
natives are small Of stature, with large
horns on their heads. The horn
springs from the scalp, consists of the
natives hair mixed with fat and Nth,
and is sometimes as much as Is inches
long. For the most part these Kaffirs
live on the great open fats to be found
on both sides Of the Kafue river They
build their huts on the great ant heaps
which appear like hills scattered over
the hats. When the Kafue is In flood
and the flats are changed into great
lakes these people are safe In their
huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle
also take refuge on the ant heaps on
which corn and mealies are likewise
grown.

LIKE NOTHING ELSE ON EARTH.
Night Lights Of New York Are Vision
Of Mapnifcsnce.

The sky line Of New York is always
changing. So, too, the night lights
shift and grow In wonderful magnifi,
cence, creeping continually further up
ward toward the stars, until the lower
city, grouped around the Singer tower,
has become Q veritable Chimborago OF
glitter and glow. The little lamps that
mark the dark wharves barely show.
Above them the scant candles OF the
older city twinkle here and there, but
not enough to mar the dark foreground
beyond which como the palaces more
gorgeous than any ever coaxed from
genii land by slaves Of Aladdin's lamp.
From the platform towers Of the great
bridge the picture sets to the best ad-
vantage. 1t begins with the sinking
sun. The murky view beyond the bay
bstcomes dull and dark. The torch in
Lbertys hand suddenly CLEANS star
like in the night and then. like the
twinkling In . kaleidoscope, the pal
aces begin to glitter in the gloom.
There II no vision like It elsewhere In
the world, yet only now and then does
. bridge pedestrian pause In his hur-
rfed walk to give the spectacle a mo-
mentary glance. The usual New York
err cares little for the splendor Of his
