 Eufaula. Jan. 12.--(Speciai. )--Mr. i. and Mrs. N. Meyer of New York. who have been spending several weeks vis- fling their relatives. Mfr. and Mrs. sIlss Stern, of this city. left this morn ing for yacksonviile and Palm Beach. Fla.
 The occasion of their visit here marks their first in the Southern States, and will be one which will no doubt be fraught with pieasing and unique "reminiscences. For the first time Mir. and Mrs. Meyer beheld the genuine. downright typical Southern negro, visited their church and watch ed their mode of worship, and many other strange and unique incidents of their every day career. They did not hesitate to express admiration for the fstic of the true Southerner and were greatly charmed and delighted with their visit
 Mir and Mrs. Meyer possess but one offspring, and that a son who is a member of the faculty of the Rocke- fel1er College of Medical Research and they kindly consented to have him make a thorough analysis of the Blue Spring and Mineral Spring waters south of the city and also that of the artesian we'll here. The result of his fnvestigatfons will be made known to Mir. stern as early as possible. who will announce them to the owners. Mfr. Meyer Is a retired capitalist and In company with his wife will enjoy a tour of the Southern country, touch ing every point of interest before re- turning to their home in the Empire State.
 A new depsrture in the way of an induatry is being experimented with by a well known citizen of Bullock County, who will engage in the trap ping of minks. The citizen will offer their skins for sale. and thinks he can realize good returns from them. He has discovered a section where they abound pientifully and believes he can secure at least two per day. An old negro who has been Quire successful in the line near Batesville recently disposed of two skins at the fancy price of $4.50 each and even at a smaller price. the returns would yield a fair ealary. The result of his first nigi5t'es Work bfought ofn four and he Is confident of his ability to capture a fair average daily.

Depots had been previously laid for a
considerable distance to the south 90
as to give supplies for the return jour-
ney.
Each man in that Polar climate,
where the bitter blizzards blew almost
continuously, had to do his daily
march, dragging heavy loads, on 20
ounces Of food. What this means can
be understood from the comment of
Mr.. Bernacchi, another we'll known
Antarctic explorer, who tells US that
the proper allowance is 36 ounces.
The temperature fell to 70. degrees of
frost, and the rarified air tried the
daring explorers to the utmost.
On January 9, 1909, they made their
last days march to the south. At lat
itude SS degrees 23 minutes, only nine
ty-seven geographical miles from the
South Pole, the nearest point to either
Pole that man had attained, they
halted. The air was comparatively
clear as they gazed upon the mysteri-
GUS region round the Pole. mo noun
tains were visible" telegraphed Lieut..
Shackleton. 1--WE saw now a plain
stretching to the south, at an altitude
of over 10000 feet"
Reluctantly they retraced their
steps, and the blizzards now blowing
behind them helped them back. But
so closely had they cut the margin OF
safety that again and again food ran
out Just as the depots which they had
left on their advance were reached
