Pullman Travelling Unhealthy for Ne
gro in West Florida.

Pensacola, May 27.-Riding in
Pullman cars is not healthy for ne
groes, especially when they purchase
tickets routed through West Florida.
This will be attested to by negro
said to be the grand chancellor of the
colored Knights of Pythias of Louis a.
ma, who was saved from sound trash
If nothing worse, at the hands of a
Milton mob, twenty roiles east OF Pen
socola last night. He was taken from
the train there and it was only the
timely arrival of the sheriff that pre-
vented the crowd taking steps to
teach the negro lesson about ming
ling with white people. He was plac-
ed in jail by the sheriff for safe keep
ing and will be liberated when that
officer finds it safe and convenient.
The negro passed through this sec
ton about ten days ago in Pullman
and had travelled a considerable dis
tance on his trip from New Orleans
to Jacksonville when he was dfsco7-
cred and vacated the Pullman for the
negro coach. Yesterday morning when
he left Jacksonville he took a draw
ing room through to New Orleans ana
travelled in ease and luxury until he
reached the Pensacola and Alabama
division. Then he was discovered and
the word was flashed ahead, with the
result that at each succeeding station
a larger crowd gathered. The negro
finally decided it the better part OF
valor to vacate the drawing room for
the negro coach, and when the f1rsc
mob to board the train did so at Chip
ley, no negro was to be found. At
DeFunlak, fifty miles further on,
another crowd boarded the train, but
the negro could not be found. 1t
was up to the Milton crowd OF
about seventy-fve to locate him. He
was found in the toilet room OF the
negro coach, but the train crew bar
red the way. Someone on the out
side however, raised the window OF
the toilet room and the negro became
frightened and rushed out of the door,
with the result that the crowd got him,
but the sheriff appeared On the scene
and rescued the negro, placing him
in jail for safe keeping.

AT LAURENS SCHOOLS.
The Noted Newberry Preacher De-
lights Large Crowd.

Laurens, June 1.-The commence
ment sermon of the Laurens city
school was delivered today at the
First Baptist church by the Rev. b.
Pendleton Jones, D D., of Newberry.
The sermon was heard by congre-
cation that filed the auditorium of
the First church.
Taking for his text, the latter
clause of the 9th verse of the 25th
chapter of st. Matthews, 'fMy OWE with
interest" DR.. Jones spoke eloquent
ly of the returns from cultural and
Christian education. God expects the
fullest development of our faculties
that we may render to society and
to Him a full measure of service.
First of all every boy and girl must
nave a definite purpose in life, know
his or her capacity and limitations and
improve the graces and virtues Of
the mind and heart, thus bringing out
the well poised, evenly balanced life.
This preparation does not cease with
the securing of a diploma. And while
all should be thankful to those who
have contributed to our means in pro-
curing cultural training, the educated
owe most to those who have not had
those advantages. That is the inter
est God expects and what is due from
us to society.

Macon, June Mrs. J. G. Thomas
and her son, Jesse C. Thomas, Jr.,
we're instantly killed and four other
members of the family and a neigh
bor's child injured by stroke of

AS j. Murray Easterling Of the city
electric light department was going
along the street, near the side door of
Tillman Brothers store, he heard
overhead clicking sound Of electric
sparks. Looking up, he saw a blaze
in the top Of an oak tree, and a bird
nest was found to be on fire. For
tunately the fire would not burn the
green leaves of the tree and soon
burned out. ]. F. David, D. n. FoW-
Ter and others witnessed the peculiar
phenomenon.
An examination revealed the fact
that an electric light wire ran through
the top of the tree and almost touched
the tree trunk. When the tree was
swayed by the wind, the wire touched
the wood, and with each contact there
was click and a miniature fash of
lightning. The insulation had been
worn or burned off by the frequent
friction and the naked live wire was
touching and scorching the tree with
each contac;.
1t was just above the point of con-
tact that the bird nest, filled with
young birds was located.
The little, birds escaped with a
singing.
The city light department placed
a glass insulator on the tree and at
tached the wire to it yesterday to
prevent further injury to the tree and
the loss of electricity by escaping
through the tree to the ground.

WHY NOT GET
A GUARANTEE2
Every Article of Merit that is Sold
These Days Is Guaranteed-NO
Guarantee Often Means Poor
Quality

There is very little excuse for any
person to claim that he has been
"stung" on purchase. Fifty years
ago the buyer had to look out, but to-
day it is unusual to find a merchant
who will not return the money for any
article that has proved unsatisfactory.
An excellent example Of this kind
of fair dealing is shown by the clean
cut guarantee that W. G. Macs gives
on Dodson's Liver Tone.
These people tell US that any person
who pays Soc, for a bottle Of Dodson's
Liver Tone and does not ind it a
gentle and most pleasant liver tonic,
harmless, but sure reliever Of con-
sdpation and perfect substitute for
calomel, can get his money back just
as quick as they can get it out Of the
money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has practically
taken the place of calomel. It is abb
solutely harmless, sure in its action
and causes no restriction of habit or
diet. No wonder the drug people are
glad to guarantee it, while other re-
medies that initiate the claims Of
Dodson's Liver Tone are not guar
anteed at all.

TO FATTEN POULTRY.
Food for This Purpose Explained by
Expert.

In responce to a query from Ben
jamin ]. Kirntier of Corbett, as to
what and how to feed chickens for
fattening, Prof. James Dryden of the
poultry department Of the Oregon
Agricultural college replies:
"There are different rations that
can be fed successfully. In some dis
tricts corn is the main item, and in
others oats, barley or other grain.
The price Of grain will govern the
ration fed largely.
"There is no better fattening food,
probably, than good plump oats fne-
ground. Barley ground up fne, is
also good as part OF the ration A
good ration would be ground oats,
barley and middlings in equal parts
and little bran mixed with butter
milk or sour milk.
eff one can not get milk it will be
necessary to feed some animal meat
or beef scrap, or little blood meal.
About 10 per cent, of the weight OF
the grain is the right proportion Of
blood meal.
"If corn is as cheap as the other
grains, 7 would feed corn literally.
The grain should be mixed with about
twice as much milk as of ground
grain, so that it will be very soft and
drip from the end Of the stick. No
green food is necessary.
"The chickens should be fed all they
will eat twice a day. At first one
should begin by feeding light, but af-
ter two or three days they should be
given all they eat up, twice a day.
Food should not be left standing be-
fore them, however.
"The chickens should be confined
in a small pen or in fattening crate
where they will get no exercise. They
will be quieter and do better in a
dark pen. The feeding may be done
by lamplight at night if that is more
convenient"

"but they are not nearly so silly as
their dupes. Their dupes are the kind
of men who go to fair and bet on
three-card monte. They're the kind
of men who, if locked up in a room
would burn up their money in the
fireplace.
"The unlikelier thing is the more
readily these fellows will believe it.
To win their confidence, don't tell
them the truth-tell them lies.
''In word, they're as illogical a lot
as Smiths substitute.
"Smith, the coat-and-hat man at a
big restaurant, was suddenly taken
sick one day, and substitute was put
in his place. The substitutes was urg-
ed not to give out any coats and hats
without thorough verifcation, and SO,
when an old gentleman demanded his
hat and explained that he'd lost his
check, there was a great to do on the
substitutes part.
"'But that's my hat, the shabby
brown one,' said the old gentleman.
It's got my initials in if. x. G.

and, sure enough, the initials were

"Humph,' he said, suspiciously,
you might have seen these initials
somehow
"'But here they are on my shirt,
too,' said the old gentleman, unbut-
toning his vest. See? F. K. G.
"'You might have swiped the shirt
said the substitute.
"'Good gracious!' shouted the old
gentleman, and in a fit of rage he tore
open his shirt and undervest. Maybe
this will satisfy you! Hey?' And 10,
he pointed to the same initials, F. K.
G., tatooed on his breast in blue.
''The substitute stared at the tat
tooing closely; then, at last, he hand
ed over the hat. AS he did so he said
"Well, since nature wrote them in
itials on your skin, I guess they must
be your own for fact"

addsd that it would be necessary to
make such an adjustment OF rates
as would put the department on a
business basis,
Postmaster General Burleson is
strongly in favor of putting the pos
tai department on an efficient basis.
He also favors adequate compensa-
ton for postal employees, and such a
readjustment Of rates as will permit
the operation of the department in a
business like manner.
1t is the purpose of the present
post Office administration to establish
civil service rule throughout the
department, applying eventually even
to first class postmasters.
Senator Theodore e. Burton, from
Ohio, and Representative Charles l..
Bartlett, from Georgia, have rein
troduced one cent letter postage bills
in the senate and house of repre-
sentatives. These bills call for the
inauguration of one cent letter post
age by July 1 of this year.
Senator Burton has long champ
ioned the battle for one cent letter
postage, while Repres entatiEe Bart
lett has favored the cheaper rate for
many years.
