SOUTHERN MAN TELLS WHY YOU
SHOULD MAKE A TOUR OF EUROPE
Superintendent L. B. Evans of Augusta Ga Talks Enter
tainingly.-Tels of the Many Great Advantages to
Be Derived From European Tour.
Not to Go Is to Miss One of the Happest Things in Life
Richard Grant White Says Year in Europe Is
- Worth Two in College.
(From Augusta, Ga. Heraid.)

Superintendent OF Schools Evans. |
In response to a request from the |
Herald, has-this to say regarding the |
advantage to be derived from a visit
TO Europe:
Il recall that Richard Grant White
says in one OF his books that a year
In Europe Is worth two in college.
and costs less. He even went so far
Rs to say that rather than spend his
money on the college education OF his
daughter, he would pack her of TO
Europe. and let her absorb education
first hand.
81 cannot go quite that far in my
estimate OF foreign travel, but do
unquestionably believe that view OF
foreign countries. particularly Euro
pean countries. gives one interest in
the worlds affairs that cannot be
gained otherwise.
About twelve years ago made
up my mind that ! had to go to
Europe. The fever was in my blood.
i could not afford TO lose the time;
did not have the money, and my bust
ness was such that | could not we'll
leave it. But there are times in a
mans life when IL he hesitates he is
lost. and II he stops to count the cost
one will fail OF many good things.
For instance, IL a man counts the cost
OF getting married. and rearing a
family. or OF building a home and
planting a yard, or sending his chill
dren OF to college, he is sure to throw
up his hands in despair. So. IL one
begins to count the cost OF going to
Europe as against the glory and fun
OF II, he may think he cannot AFFORD
II. but II he does not go he will miss
one OF the happiest things in life.
THE true spirit. of adventure is
found in the inquiry. how can afford
not to go TO Europe. in view OF the
advantages TO be derived, the things
10 see and do over there, and the
years afterward TO talk IL over, read
Il over and think IL over?
Ever since I came back from
Europe have never missed a chance
10 begin a story with the remark. i
remember one day in Rome, or Paris,
ETC. OF else, AS We were crossing
the Alps one time, ETC. and IL made
me feel important that had had an
experience worth relating Again.
whenever any OF those travelling tour
lists cross my path and say. You have
been IN Holland, have you not?' 1t Is
a great satisfaction for me TO smile.
and say, oh, yes and then We lead

lightful. Europe fills every traveller

Arguing in favor of the abolition
of the protective tariff duty on sug-

His reply was: But | represent

ly his attention was called to the
wool-raising interests of Arizona to
whom he refuses to extend tariff
taxation through his vote. His
conclusive and effective answer was:
Also. we have 100000 users of
wool, and they mean more to me

RATHER STRIKES INDIAN

Last Sunday big rattler struck
an aged Indian in the heel. near his
camp in the Wallapi mountains.
He was brought to town and is now
under the treatment of a physician.
The Indians had opened the wound
and allowedit to bleed freely. which
appears to have kept down the
swelling. A big dog owned by the
Indian was also struck by the snake
and died within a short time. The
snake was one of the most vicious
of its kind and was on the fight as
