The Dead of the South.

April &c is the memorial day of the
confederacy. An editorial published in
the Atlanta Constitution on that date
is republished herewith for its value
in assisting to appreciation of the view

today, and whose sacrifice we celebrate
today, are the fathers and the saviors
of the destiny that beckons the south

significance underlying the ceremon-

the monumental civil war of history.
Each day we are coming more wildly
to see, and our children even are COM

not wed itself to sincerity and spirit

Wealth perishes. The standards of
accomplishment we yesterday glorifcd,

builded under the encouraging rad

may not be blasted by desolation and

PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough to recognize the

and blister, etc., has developed into

eases" usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy is re-
painting.

Of materials, would prevent all trou.

Journey Across Uganda.
Leaving Nairobi in October, the
party will proceed by the Uganda
railway to Port Florence, on the
shores of Lake Victoria Nyanza, where
a short stop will be made; then a
steamer will be taken to Entebbe, $50
miles away. There a caravan will be
formed and the journey across
Uganda to the Nile will be begun. 1t
is expected that the White Nile will
be reached about the first Of the year
1910. Lake Albert Nyanza will be
touched at Kibira.
In a general way the course of the
Nile will be followed to Gondokoro,
Mr.. Roosevelt and Kermit will be
joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and they will
continue down the Nile slowly to
Cairo, visiting many points of interest
on the way.

The supplies of the party are packed
In tin-lined boxes. These boxes when
they have been emptied will be used

Disease Cured by Cuticura.

my six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and 1 tried several eme
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised, 1
thought I would try them. 1 gave her

Pays His Own Expenses.
MI. Roosevelt will defray the ex.
penses of himself and his son on the
African trip, but those of the sc.en
lists and the cost of preparing the
specimens and shipping them to Amer.
lea will be paid out of a fund secured
for the purpose by the Smithsonian
institution.
One of the objects of Mr.. Roosevelt
in taking this trip Is for the purpose
of collecting material for writing sew

serial and book-form publication of
whatever he might write on his visit
to Africa. 1t is said that the contract
price agreed upon is 81 per word,
but this never has been verified.
No Slaughter Of Animals.
Even If the British colonial govern
ment should offer to throw open to Mr..
Roosevelt and his companions the AZ
rican game preserves under it's con-
troll, the ex-president will refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Like other true sportsmen, he believes
that the utmost protection should be
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly,
when predatory animals are becoming
too numerous.
Moreover, the killing Of animals for
sport is not the. main object Of his trip.
Mr.. Roosevelt hopes to send back to
the Smithsonian institution two adult
specimens, one of each sex, and a
specimen Of their young, of animals
he meets with on the Dark Continent. |
Beyond this the killing will be linn
tied to the demands Of the commits
