Pot and the Almv, and is owned by

now in st. Louis in conference with
his associates with a view to the
building Of a 100 ton mill there at
once. This mine is near the ack

than is the grotesque caricature worn

Capt. W. r. Joyner Starts
Campaign For Protection

Captain W. R. Joyner, state fire in
spector, is beginning an extensive cam
paign to prevent fires by publishing
thousands of cards containing the fol-
lowing "don'ts," which will be dis
tributed throughout the state of Geor-
gia. The "don'ts' point out several
methods of fire prevention.
The card follows:
Don't fail to destroy all rubbish and
if burnt see that it is not fired close
to any building; use every precaution.
Don't allow gasolene or gasolene en-
gines in the barn, but in separate
building.
Don't allow ashes kept in anything
but fireproof receptacle.
Don't allow anyone to go into barns
and other buildings with an open light.
Don't handle matches carelessly; see
that they are completely extinguished
before tossing them down.
Don't allow kerosene used in light
ing fires.
Don't fail to have all chimney f1ues
inspected and cleaned out every fall.
Don't allow stovepipes near wood.
Don't allow stove fues to be built on
wood.

ed as a trained nurse in order to be
near her hero. She found Kitchener in
the hospital with camp fever and joy
fully prepared to nurse him. But the
sick man turned his cold gray eyes up
on her and remarked sternly: please
20 away; am far too sick to be nurs-
ed"
Next day she returned. This time
the hero's Ease was to the wall. But a
sign written in large black letters
hung above his averted shoulders
TOO SICK TO BE NURSED," it read
The poor girl never came back.
1t was his thirteen years campaign
in the African Soudan which won
Kitchner his elevation to the peerage

his supreme place in the affections OF
the British public and the British SOL
diers. The enemy he conquered was
10 easy foe.
Tommy Atkins respect for the Sou
danese fighter was expressed in Kip
ling's poem, Fuzzy Wuzzy."
You're a poor benighted heather,
but first-class fightin' mani"
Grimly, resolutely, Kitchner pursued
the khalifa and his fanatic horbes, lay
ing a railroad through the desert as he
advanced until at last he met and de-
feated him in the great battle of ON
durham, killing 1900 in one day. He
finished his job by blowing up the
sacred tomb of the mahdi, scattering
the prophets bones over the desert
sands In England he was much crit
icised for this action, which Kitchner
explained by saying:
my instructions were to destroy the
enemy. I destroyed also the resting
place of the false prophet, for the war
in the Soudan was war of religious
fanaticism, and so long as that tomb
remained it would have been a rallying
point for rebellion"
Though Kitchener's god is the god Of
battles, he seeks tranquility of gar
dens. Flowers are his delight. When
in Egypt he bought an island in the
Nile and made it an oasis of bloom.
Even in war he has been known to dis
mount from his horse to pick a way
side blossom. Even the woman of his
heart is known as Morning Glory"

Americas smokers, and many others

some friend who knew the ropes did

Nantueil, department of Disc, tele-
graphing early this morning, says he
learned from French wounded that the
German right has retired so far that
the center must give way or risk the
line of communication.
General Pau scored a tremendous
victory by charging and capturing an
enormous munition column seven kilo-
meters 4 IA miles, long. This he de-
stroyed, leaving the Germans very
short of ammunition. The correspon-
dent concludes:
THE effect of the long, barren
marches must have an enormous in
luence on the conscript army. The
huge losses in killed and wounded,
the paralyzing spectacle Of pyramidal
funeral pyres on the battlefield each
night and the procession Of moving
trains of grievously wounded must
give the educated Germans in the
ranks food for thought.
1T was all very we'll while the
Germans were marching forward, but
the retrograde movement is trying on
the nerves"

(By Nixola Greely-Smith.)

(By Nixola Greely-Smith.)
Kitchener of Khartoum, England's
new secretary of state for war, is, as
such, the head of the British army.
Kitchener says the war will last three
years and he's ready to fight it out.
Earl Kitchener is now about Ga years
old. Though born in Ireland, in County
Kerry, in 1850, he is of English stock.
Everything that Kitchener is he has
made himself A bachelor at "a, public
opinion has called him a woman hater
AS sirdar of Egypt-really ruler Of
Egypt, for he has always ignored the
elors about him. In the thirteen years
war he waged in the Soudan, where he
made his own military fame, he chose
unmarried men for leadership when
ever he could.
Il don't want men around me who
are always thinking of their wives and
children" he said.
Black-haired, with dark gray eyes
that suggest lowering war clouds, six
feet tall, and still straight as an Egyp-
tan obelisk, he does not look like a
man who is a bachelor at 64-not be-
cause he hates women, as most people
believe, BUT BECAUSE FOR YEARS
HE LOVED ONE WOMAN MADLY.
And she will not marry him.
This woman is Lady Naylor-Leyand
born Jennie Chamberlain, of Cleveland
Ohio, and known to her intimates as
Morning Glory" and one of group Of
American women who we're the init
mate personal friends of the late King
Edward. Kitchener met the lovely Am
erican woman four years ago in Cairo
when her husband was still alive, and
it is said from that moment no 9TH
er woman has existed for him.
Because he loves an American, Eng
lishmen noting his grim and disdainful
attitude towards his own country-wo-
men, have said that he hates all wo-
men-except Americans! And Kitch-
ener proves it by choosing American
women for his friends.
When the British forces under Gen
eral Butler had suffered three heart
sickening reverses in the Boer war,
Kitchener of Khartoum, known famili-
larly to the British people as tx. of
H." was summoned to retrieve the
military fortunes Of his country. With
Earl Roberts he took charge OF the
situation, and from that hour dated the
British victories which resulted in the
downfall of the Dutch republics.
Stern and relentless in war, Kitcr en-
ed is generous to a defeated foe. When
the Beers were forced to surrender lie
offered them terms of magnamity
more overpowering than his victories
had been.
When Kitchener was in South At
RIGA he was astonished and dismayed
by the arrival at the British camp of a
young English girl who had volunteer
