Julion Ward Howe is dead. Bowed
under the weight of her 81 years, the
noted philanthropist and authoress
succumbed peacefully to an attack of
pneumonia at her summer home at
Middletown, r. |.
Florida, the Keys and Cuba are be-

Fifty thousand persons, headed by
singing choirs instead of brass bands,

Walter Wellman, the five compan-

That vital organs and tissues may
be not only made TO live, but to grow,
is the startling announcement made
by DIR. Alexander Carroll, an investi-
gator of the Rockefeller Institute of
Medical Research at Baltimore. This
important medical discovery was con-
ceived along lines worked out by Dr.
Carroll and under the guidance of
Doctors Simon FleXner and Eugene
Opie of Johns Hopkins, who are at the
head of the Rockefeller Institute of
Medical Research. Briefly, DR.. Car
rolls discovery involves a method for
removal from the human body OF por-
tions of the stomach, blood vessels,
skin, bone and practically every other
tissue, and making them grow at as
lively rate as they did in the human
form to which they belonged.
John d. Rockefeller celebrated the

A strenuous kick is being register
ed by the travelling public on the
schedule of the Atlantic Coast Line
between Brunswick and Albany. The
former schedule was a very lnpopu-
lar one, but the change is almost the
limit and it is probable that some
steps will be taken to have it rene

By the recent change the morning
train now leaves Brunswick at SIS
and passenger, to be on time, must
be out of bed at least by 4.30. Then
if he desires to make a trip to some
point a few miles up the road he can
not return to the city until $50 at
night, where formerly he could get in
at 80.

A committee appointed to represent
the Seamen's Mission will appear be-

Few people in Brunswick realize tae
great good that is being accomplished
at the mission. For the benefit of the

as they see fit, no payments to he
made inside of three years after t1e
drainage is started, then paying one
tenth of the obligations every year

pertinent, according to Mr.. Eason. and
has been worked with wonderful re-
suits in North Carolina, Solth Caro-
lima, Florida, Mississippi Louisiana,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Indiana, Nebras-
ka, Missouri, Illinois and Minnesota.
Speaking of the lands of Glynn
county, Mr.. Eason says he has reason
to believe that they are as good as
can be found in the country. tIe re-
ferred to the splendid report made by
Expert Bennett on the soil, and in
there was nothing to fear from the
fertility of. our lands all over the
country. The fact was stressed that
there is no trucking section betwe n
Florida and Charleston, distance OF
more than 800 miles, and suggested
that Glynn county, with her climate,
her soil and her railroad advantages,
should fill in this gap and do it with
oat longer delay.
The speaker stated that the govern
ment's attitude briefly put is to do all
the engineering, maKe complete sur
veys. furnish plans and specifications,
estimates of cost. lay out canals and
give the proper measurements, pro-
vided there is the proper assurance
on the part of the people that toey
something at once. However, he Is

or three weeks and will make prelim-
mary drainage plans, visit all sections
of the county, locate the natural
drains, report on what drains we now
have. make proper recommendation
for the system mostly needed, setc.
In cl sing Mr.. Eason urged the
people to get busy on this PROPOSE
ton and not to underestimate the
possibilities of drainage and farming.
Look what it will mean TO Brunswick
and Glynn county" exclaimed the
speaker. Farming will have to come
as timber and turpentine are dying
out he continued, 'and no section
which is a natural agricultural enc
can come to the highest state OF de-
velopment until it is practised. Farm
ing, that's the salvation of the coastal
country, and to farm right in this
section the lands must be drained and
then in turn you will have wealth.
health and prosperity .. ...
Deep interest was manifested In
the meeting, various gentlemen from"
the country districts offering to es-.
cort Mr.. Eason over their territory.
He will begin his Investigation this
morning and it, really looks like some
thing good is coming out of his visit
here.

it has been a topic of current gossip

the crown prince tO forty eight hours
detention in the latter's palace for an
unprecedented offense which his ma

Fasting Among Many During the Len

New York, Feb. with the begin

many millions of Americans will join
in inaug"rating period of absolute
fasting, SO far as meat is concerned,
and the outlook for the packers is but

With the sanction of religion added
to the economic appeal the anti-meat
eaters consider the victory already as
good as won, and they predict that
by Easter all kinds of meat will be
selling at little more than half the
prices recently charged. Reports from
all over the cclntry today appear to
confirm this view.

yet I knew that this would not be
%expedient, and that meant. evidently,
that we would have to continue pay
ing interest on them at the rate of five
per cent.
We'll, one evening, as | was walk
ing back and forth wondering what l
could do in my dilemma, with cor
gress not in session, l suddenly re-
called a remark by John Sherman,
when he was senator, to the effect
that the discretionary powers Of the
secretary of the treasury were much
larger than was generally believed to
be the fact. Immediately, 1 deter
mined to find out whether or not
could exercise any discretionary pow
ers with the five per cent. bonds.
"The next day l hunted up the at
torney general, Wayne MacVeagh,
Mac 1 said, L wish you'd look into
the law and tell me whether l can ex-
tend the five per cent. bonds at a less
rate of interest than they now bear
without any especial authority from
congress,-in other words, whether 1
have any discretionary power in the
matter?' MacVeagh saw the point at
once, and a day orstwo thereafter told
me that I surely had the discretion
airy power.
1.-THE rest was easy. I caused it to
be announced that I intended to begin
paying off the five per cent. bonds at
the rate of ten million dollars a month.

Often irritable and swayed by Pas

A a member of the staff of Gen.
George G.. Meade, l came to know full
well that at times-in fact. a great
deal of the time-he displayed a most
peppery disposition to all with whom
he came In contact, so that many Of

tomas did not personally like their
SUPERIOR" once said to me the late
Gen. George H. Sharpe, who, after the
war, was more or less prominent for
years in national politics in the east.
But / am going to tell you of a little
incident that will give you some in
sight of the true Meade that lay un-
derneath the coat of irritation hat he
SO otter wore.
After the Army Of the Potomac had
taken up winter quarters along the
banks OF the James river in the latter
part of 1864. there appeared at head
quarters one day two Epglishmen who
were recognized authorities in British
military circles. They carried a let
ter from Lord Lyons. then British
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-08-05

and by lot, so that no one would know
when he would be called upon to part
with his holdings. And l added that If
any holder of bonds was willing that
they should be extended at the rate of
three per cent, and would permit such
an agreement to be stamped upon tho
face of the bonds, why. then, the
bonds would mot be liable to immedi.
ate redemption.
Now, you know the banks must
have government bonds in order to
have circulation and the bankers,
quick to see that I had them, fairly
tumbled over one another in their
eagerness to have their five per cent.
bonds extended at three per cent, or
at a rate one-half of n per e
lower than they could have obtained
had they not frightened President
Hayes into vetoing the bill authoriz-
ing the treasury department to refund
the five per cent. with three and a
half per cent. bonds.
ct was truly laughable, and, do you
know, practically all of the five per
cent. bonds were refunded in this
manner, and all because of that hap
py chance thought of mine. And as a
finishing touch to the complete rout OF
the bankers, congress-, at it's next ses-
sion, passed a law forbidding the
banks to surrender currency IN excess
of three million dollars a month. The
banks could no longer dump their cir
culation into the United States treas
ury in order to brighten the govern
ment into letting them have their
way"

It in the years that 1t has been built,

how q widespread lie regarding its

Cardinal McCloskey and I were
