Pinchot and Speaker Joseph G. Cannon
engaged in an extemporaneous debate
upon the subject Of conservation before
the Knife and Fork club in this :ity
last night, and while each man gave ak
preston to the highest personal regard
for the other and both agreed that con-
servation Of the national resources should

Mr.. Cannon, who spoke first, said that
the late ]. W. Powell, at one time d.

NORTH GEORGIA BEES
HAVE GONE ON STRIKE
"What'S the USe?" They Ask,
and Let 1t Go at
That

According to a report that came In yes
terday from Habersham, all the bees In
north Georgia have gone on a strike. They
are not more than ordinarily exacting
bees, and no walking delegates have been
reported in the neighborhood. The sim
pie truth of the matter, as the colonel
points out. is that things are discouraging
for the most industrious OF bees.
The corn crop isn't In yet, the old sup
PHYS out, and while there's plenty OF
peaches. still there's a scarcity OF materi-
al, so they're trying honey in north Geor-
gia. It's not altogether an experiment
and the brew that's resulting is very sat
Iisfying. But that doesn't console the bees.
Under the circumstances they merely ask
what's the use?" and let 1t go at that. A
hive with honey in 1t is said to be scarcer
than old maids in Reno. So, as was said,
the bees have struck.
Besides honey the authentic report
brings word that molasses is also IN pop
ular use. When there isn't enough honey
it is used to exc out the other stun.
The peach brandy is said to be delecta-
BILE In fact it's remarkable qualities are
what have put the bees in trouble. There
can't be enough Of It brewed to go around,
and the lack is made up with the sweet
stuffs.
The more substantial brew that will
come in with the corn crop is being ca
gerly awaited by the thirstier souls. The
bees are also looking forward to the time
when they will have chance.

Success, What 1t Is, How Can
II Be Attained?

Dear Miss Thomas. VIII you allow me the
privilege Of trying to give a few suggestions
on success.
1t does not mean the mere piling up OF
money. Have purpose; make preparation;
plan; pray; push; persevere be pleasant; try
to please; be patient; subdue passion; preserve
health; be pure; be pious; be Plastic In the
hands Of the Divine Potter; strive after perfec-
ton OF character. You may not be able at
the end of lifes journey to spell success with
dollar marks, but methinks you'll enter Para
disc no pauper, but crowned with real success.
Success means only thng-the actual ac-
complishment of anything undertaken. 1t Is
the result of faithfully performing the small
duties Of life as well the most important
ones. When an obstacle gets in your way,
don't waste time and energy complaining about
IL. If you can not push the obstacle out OF
your path, climb over. under around and
leave the obstacle behind.
Tact and perseverance will obtain achieve
ment. These are the material efforts which
command success. Every one who would make
success OF life should aim at reaching the
highest standard Of character, not to become
the richest in means; but in spirit; not the
greatest in worldly position, but In true honor
not the most intellectual. but the most virtu-
Gus; not the most Influential, but the most
truthful, upright and honest. This spells sue
cess
/ trust that Miss Thomas and all the House.
hold members shall some day be crowned with
real success. Sincerely.

ONE DEAD, TWO HURT
IN RAID OF BANDITS

CLEVELAND, July 15.-One man is
dead and two others are wounded as
the result of the raid by bandits on 4
Lake Shore construction car near Olms-
tead Falls late last night. Charles
Drummer, aged so, who was shot through
the abdomen, died today. The injured
men are James Counterwane, shot
through the body, and Thomas ZuracG,
shot in the head. 1t is believed they
will recover.
Shortly after midnight five negroes
appeared at one Of the shanties used as
sleeping quarters and awakening the
laborers demanded the pay, which they
received yesterday. The first man
handed over 500, the sole booty of the
robbers. Three other men answered
they had no money and the robbers
opened fire.
There was a rush from the shacks.
Many of the workmen had revolvers,
but as the bandits ran as soon as they
fired upon their victims, they were out
of sight before the men in camp had an
opportunity to return the fire.

Troup.'' the governors youngest daughter. Not
vestige of shrubbery and flowers are left or
the once beautiful garden, and corn has been
planted all around the house.
In the distance, smoke can be seen Issuing
from the smokestncks in Dublin, and near oy
the Oconee river winds its sinuous way to the
sea.
Tradition has it that Governor Troup would
save his carriage driver, Madison Moore, TO
convex him to the river and he would fish for
hours for psstime.
At the foot Of the hill from the White House
is a bold spring. where leaky bucket and
rourd are left for the travellers convenience.
We lunched at the 'Troup spring" and certainly
relished our repast, after our tramp.
Near by in a log hut lives Aunt Nancy

owners and Aunt Nancy was told she would nave

The carriage driver also lives on the place
with his wife she is a half-breed Indian and
was house girl for the Troup family.
Governor Troup owned thousands Of acres or
land When he died he was carried to Mont
gomery county and buried beside his brother,
and marble shaft still marks his grave.
The shades of night were falling when we
crossed the river. Some boats were plying In
the stream below, others were anchored at the
landing and the lights OF the city, like scintil-
ating stars were reflected in the water be-

The moon rose over the city
as We reached our destination and after a
strenuous day we were glad to rest awhile.

In May, 1872, President Madison was
nominated for reelection by the congress
sional caucus. 1t has been said that he
was dragooned into the war police, which
led to our second clinch with Great Brit
ain, by Henry Clay and his followers
with the threat that, unless he yielded to
their views. another candidate for the
presidency would be CHOSEN. This Clay
denied and there was no evidence to dis
credit his denial. Madison was simply
swept into the current by the impetuosity
OF Young America.
On June the presidents war message
came. On June Is, g. bill, in accordance
with II was passed by both houses or
congress. On the following day, July IL.
the president signed the bill, which pro-
claimed hostilities. Thus Young America,
led by Henry Clay, carried their point.
For several years previous to the begin
ming of hostilities, the United States had
been kicked and cuffed by both Great
Britain and France, like a mere interlop-
er among the nations of the earth, who
had no rights entitled to respectful con-
sideration Their insolence seemed to
have been increased by the irresolution OF
the American government, the distraction
of counsel in congress, and the division
of sentiment among the people.
But eventually young Republican lead
ers came to the front to interpret the
national spirit and expectation" They
totally eclpsed the old chiefs by their
dash and brilliancy. Foremost among
them stood Henry Clay, John c. Calhoun,
William Lowndes, Felix Grundy, Lang
don Cheves and others. They believed
that II the American republic was TO
maintain anything like the dignity OF an
independent power, and to preserve, or
rather regain, the respect OF mankind IN
any degree-aye. its self-respect-t must
cease TO submit to humiliation and con-
temptuous treatment; 1t must flght-hght

somebody who had wronged or insulted 1t.
The Republicans having always a ten
der side for France, and the fiction Of
French concessions being accepted. the
theory Of the war party was that. of the
two belligerents, England had more inso-
lently maltreated the United States. Ru-
more were spread that an Indian war
then going on, and resulting in the battle
OF Tippecanoe on November 7, 1871. was
owing to English intrfgues.
Adding this to the old Revolutionary
"reminiscences of British oppression. 1t
was not unnatural that the national
wrath should eventually turn against
Great Britain. Not only the regular army
was increased, but the president was au-
thorized to accept and employ $1,000 vol
unteers. Then a bill was introduced pro-
viding for the building of ten new
frigates. The war spirit In the country
gradually rose and manifested itself nois-
lily in public meetings, passing resolu-
lions and memorializing congress.
This spirit was increased in intensity
by a sensational exposure" batch of
papers lad before congress by the presi-
dent in March, 1872. They had been sold
to the government by John Henry, an
Irish adventurer, and disclosed a conf
Dental mission to New England, under
taken by Henry in 1909 at the request of
Sir James Craig, the governor of Canada.
to encourage disunion movement in the
eastern states.
This was the story. Whatever its found
alton, 1t was believed, and greatly in
creased popular excitement. On the 4th
of April the president signed bill laying
an embargo on commerce with Great
Britain for 90 days. All over the country
the embargo was introduced as meaning
an Immediate preparation for war. II
came in considerably less time than the
limit of this embargo, and continued I'M
