After all has been said concern
ing Judging and selecting cows for
dairy merit the fact remains that
in most cases the only sure means
of securing good cows is to raise
them on the farm by mating the
best cows in the herd to well bred
bulls, which have come from a
strain of large milk and butter
producing cows. Heifers pro-
duced from such matings are quite
likely to develop into good milk
cows. W. ID. NICHOLS,

Panama Canal May Be
Opened On December lSt.

Latest reports from the Canal
Zone announce that as the result
of the prospective substitution of
dredges for steam shovels in the
excavation of the famous Culebra
cut, the canal may be ready for
shipping by next December. Even
earlier than that light draft vessels
are likely to be passing through
the waterway, for as the greater
part of the canal prism already has
been cut to its final depth small
vessels probably can navigate it
safely within few days after Oc-
tOber 10 next, when the Gamboa
dixie is to be blown up, thus ad-
hitting to the Culebra level the
great store of water in Gatum lake.
The thirty-four steam shovels
now in the cut handle only 500, 900
cubic yards of earth and rock per
month, which output will be greatly
reduced as the depth of the cut in
creases and the available room for
shoveling is reduced. Col. Goe-
thals, however, has assembled if
teen dredges with a monthly capac-
ity of 100000 cubic yards and
these will be hoated in the cut as
soon as the dixie is destroyed.
Meanwhile, not content with Dig
ging away at the base of the cliffs,
the engineers in their haste TO open
up the waterway have begun to
tear away the top of the hills with
great Jets of water under high
pressure, sluicing the earth into
the bed of the canal whence it is
being swept up by pneumatic
dredges and pumps and discharged
into ravines and valleys so far away
that it can never wash back.

FRECKIE-fACt
Sun and Wind Bring Ont UugIy
Spots, How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-
ace, to try a remedy for
freckles with the guarantee of a
reliable dealer that it will not cost
you a penny unless it removes the
freckles; while il it does give you
a clear complexion the expense is
trifiing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength from VIM. S.
Lloyd, and a few applications
should show you how easy it is to
rid yourself of the homely freckles
and get a beautiful complexion.
Rarely is more than one ounce
needed for the worst case.

At last a Judge appears after
our own heart, one who thinl $
women ought to be permitted to
wear anything they please, with
out legal or masculine interference.
They generally know what is the
proper apparel, and we have no
patience with those officials or the
the courts which try to butt in
where they have no business.
The judge referred to presides
in the little city of GAINESVILLE, w.
Va, and when two young women
were hailed before him wearing
slit skirts he dismissed the case
and apoligized to them, adding
that he thought the costumes
both attractive and becoming

full descendants cannot, without

diaphanous tight skirts, or any
thing they want. They look

are clothed. or not.
There is an old saying that in
Rome do as the Romans do and as
in Turkey do as the turkeys do.
AS to the matter of dress, or the
absence of it, it is still matter of
opinion. In the ball room and in
the surf woman's PROJECTIONS, or
the reverse, are shown, and no
one says them nay. We have
seen women walk for squares at
Atlantic City in bathing suits that
would, if the same performance
was given in Lexington, create a
a riot so great would be the crowd
that would gather to see it. 1t is
only the way we look at matters.
A woman may expose not only
her ankle, but her calves at the
seashore and nothing is thought of
it. Let us not think of it here or
elsewhere if we can help it, when
a we'll rounded limb is exposed by
a slit skirt which aggravatingly
plays the game of now you see it
and now you don't. The women,
God bless them, can wear what
they please so far as we are con-
cerned, and if they want somebody
that will fight for them and die
for them in the maintenance of
their rights our services are re-
spectfully rendered. w. p. Wal

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
Selecting the MIX Cow.

Nearly every good milk COW
possesses certain points of confor-
nation which indicate her milking
qualities. The first important
point is that she shall show lean
or bony form with sharp, prom
inent back bone, ribs wide apart,
sharp withers and incurving
thighs. This indicates dairy
temperament" or in other words
that she will turn her feed into
milk instead of beef.
Next she will have long, broad,
deep and roomy barrel, well sprung
ribs. broad muzzle and strong
Jaw, these points indicating a ca
pacity for consuming large
amounts of feed.
Third, she will show hardy
constitution, which is indicated by
a large heart girth, a deep chest,
large open nostrils and a large
wind pipe and lung capacity
Fourth, a good dairy COW should
have an udder of good size run
ming we'll forward and hung up
we'll behind. The region of the
pelvis or the hips is wide as is also
the space between the thighs as
viewed from behind, giving am
pie room for a large udder. A
large udder is not always an indi-
cation of large mixer. The I'D
der must not only be large but it
must be free from freshness.
After the milking is completed the
udder should fold up like an
empty glove.
In the show ring other points
are taken into account, such as
length of tail, size and shape of
horn, levelness Of rump, color
markings, etc. These, however,
are fancy points and the practical
farmer gives them only slight con-
sideration. The vital points are a
thin, angular appearance, large
barrel, good constitution, and a
capacious udder free from feshi-
ness.
1t must be remembered that
cows looks cannot always be de-
pended upon to indicate whether
or not she is a good dairy animal.
Some dairymen make a rule to buy
a COW only upon the condition that
they be allowed to take her to the
dairy and give her a trial before
she is paid for. Even with this
plan some risk is run for the COW

and fall off rapidly in her flow
in a few weeks or months. The
habit of persistent milking is
very important.

Venezuela.

For five years Venezuela has en-
joyed peace and prosperity. True,
there have been incipient rebellions
led oy ambitious politicians, but
these have been quickly suppressed
by President Gomez at small cost
in men and money. They have not
prevented the institution of many
reforms of government, the solidi.
fcation Of the several states, and
the payment of foreign debts.
Gomez has consistently endeavored
to make Venezuela a progressive
country worthy of the confidence
of nations.
At no time i'll it's history has
Venezuela been a richer spoil for a
political adventurer. This seems
to be fully appreciated by Castro,
who has again undertaken to seize
the government. Yet at no time
has Venezuela presented so little
opportunity for successful coup
as now. 1t has a well-filled treas
urv, a loyal and splendidly organ
lied army, complete harmony of
the several states with the central
government, and excellent credit
in the money markets of the world.
Castro's ambition must have gotten
the better of his judgment.

Missionary Thoughts.

Have you planned all of your
Christmas gifts? Let's not forget
that it is the Kings birthday we cele-
brate and He has said 'Inasmuch as
We did it unto one of the least OF
these, ye did it unto me-"
Will it make us feel any happier
this Christmas season to know that
there are many voices in many
tongues raised in prayer and praise
to the Father of us all, and just be-
cause we helped send to them across
the seas the Kings message of peace?
Will not the security and happiness
of our own homes be sweeter because
we are helping to shelter and protect
homeless and friendless girls in our
Vashti Home and through the min
istry of our deaconesses and city mis-
sionaries?
Surely there must be a glow OF
warmth in our hearts when we re,
member that we have had some small
part in saving so many girls through
our rescue homes and that to-day
they are sheltered and protected, and
all because We cared epough to help
But, o, the pity Of it, that there
are so many to whom Christmas will
bring no joy! There are so many
of His hopeless little ones whose
childish hearts are heavy.
They may not be so far away
either. We may not have to go to
New York or even Charleston to find
them. Just few steps from our
own doors we may find them. Let
us look them up and see that as far
as we are able there shall be no bitter
tears shed because Santa Claus did
not remember.
Then there are Gods other little
ones, the aged, to whom Christmas
brings only memories of happier
days. Let's not forget them. The
King appreciates so much what we
do for His little ones. He not only
gives us a Thank you" here that
makes the sun shine brighter and
the earth more beautiful, but He lays
up for US a blessed "Inasmuch' for
the heavenly world.

CHARLESTON'S Big FIRE
NEW CLYDE STEAMSHIP PIER
No. ? BADLY DAMAGED.
Loss Estimated at Not Less Than
$sO,OOO.OO and Possibly a
Great Deal More.

Charleston, December 16.-The
fire of an unknown origin which last
night consumed the uncompleted
superstructure of Clyde Steamship
company's pier No. 2, entailing a
loss which the contractor asserted
this morning will not fall under $780,
OOe and may reach 100000, as it is
not yet known to what extent the
foundations Of the new pier, which
are the more expensive portion of
the structure, are damaged, is ap-
parent from a casual inspection OF
the fire-swept pier, but until engi-
neers have gone underneath the
wharf and closely inspected the ex-
pensive creosoted piling the full ex-
tent of the damage will not be known.
The amount of construction insur-
ance carried by the contracting firm
On the new pier could not be learned
to-day, but Mr.. Richardson, of the
w. P. Richardson Contracting COM
pany of Jacksonville, in charge of the
work, stated that the firm will lose
heavily.
Estimates of the loss of last nights
fire vary widely, however, Chief
Behrens of the fire department stat
ing to-day that he thought when the
salvage was taken into account and
the full estimate made that the
damage would not exceed $4,000.
He pointed out that as rule fire
losses always look larger upon first
blush than they do after losses have
been officially adjusted. He cited
the case of the big Meeting street
fire as an example of this fact, and
also the recent grocery fire in King
street, declaring that usually the first
estimates were reduced so per cent.
when the final figures were footed
up.
Three causes are assigned to the
success which attended the battle on
the waterfront, confining the blaze to
the single pier. The efficiency of the
fire tugs, the good work of the land
fire forces and the favorable wind.
Had other conditions been prevalent,
untold loss might have resulted.

, Negro Confesses Murder.

Augusta, December 16.-George
Hart, one of the negroes charged
with the murder of Mrs. Jefferson
Irby at Wrens, Ga, Sunday after
noon, confessed here to-day to Depu-
ty Sheriff Plunkett, according to the
authorities. He duplicates the other
two negroes under arrest. Both Of
the others deny their guilt.
George and William. Hart and
Robert Paschal were rushed to Au-
gusta at 4:30 o'clock this morning
from the Burke county jail at
Waynesboro for fear that mob OF
outraged citizens from radius Of 40
miles of the killing would take them
out and lynch them, despite the mill
tary company that was on guard.
To Deputy Sheriff Anderson, OF
Burke county and Chief of Police
johnson, of Waynesboro, George
Hart had already confessed. He en-
deavored to retract his confession
after he reached here, but few
questions from Deputy Sheriff Punk
ett, of Richmond county /caused him
to break down and tell the whole
story.
George Hart, according to the au-
thorities. saws that he and his broth
er and Robert Paschal were drunk
on the skimmings of boiling cane
Juice, where syrup was being made
The skimmings are placed in differ
ent vessel, being taken from the top
of the boiling cane juice, and after
fermentation, makes an intoxicating
drink. He says that they went by
the Irby home about 4 p. m, Sunday,
and that Robert Paschal went inside
and attacked Mrs. Irby, that she
struggled with him to the front door,
where he cut her throat and the
three then dragged her by the hair
to the woodpile, where they crushed
her skull with an axe and then as
saulted her.
The ive-year-old daughter of Mrs:
Irby saw the negroes cut her moth
er's throat. The negroes then left
the vicinity. No mention was made
in George Hart's confession of any
so cent debt that Mr.. Irby owed

TWENTY-FIVE years ago Jonas w
Thomas, a negro, of Marlboro Coun-
ty, S. c., began his career as far
mer by buying an old horse for S4O.-
rs and by renting thirty acres OF
South Carolina land for 1,400 pounds
of lint cotton. After four years OF
hard work and close saving he was
able to buy mule for $50 and also
67 acres of land. Then he began
renting and working farms which
belonged to other men. Gradually he
was able to buy the land he had been
renting. He also found it worth his
while to open commissary.
Now Thomas lives in twelve-room
house and employs on his $4,000
plantation thirty-nine families, con-
sisting of 1S9 men, women and chill
dren. He grows variety of garden

$4,000 a year for twenty-five years.

HANGED BY MADDENED MOB.
Cleve Culbertson is Taken From Jail
and Put to Death.

and Put to Death.
Williston, N. D., December 16.-
Cleve Culbertson, recently convicted
of numbering three members of the
Dillon family at Ray, N. D., was
taken from the Williams county jail
by a mob to-day and hanged from a
bridge near here.
The lynching took place shortly be-
fore daylight. The party, which con-
sisted of a large number Of masked
men, battered down the doors of the
Jail with a heavy iron pipe. Despite
the warnings of Sheriff Erickson,
the men opened the door to the cell
occupied by the prisoner and dragged
him out. He was taken to the mid
die of the Muddy river, mile and
half from town, and hanged from
wagon bridge. The body was then
riddled with bullets.
Policeman Lucien Ford and James
Johnson, a laborer, attracted by the
shouts of the mob, attempted to in
terfere and were badly beaten.
After the conviction of Culbert-
son last week, which carried pris-
en- sentence for life, dissatisfaction
was expressed because the death pen
atty had not been inflicted and
threats of lynching were freely made.
