Americas, as the objective point Of

the Sumter county changing, whicl
boosts the largest number Of white
convicts of any county in this section
of the state. Of this large number Of
white zebras, making up the tramp
colony here, probably thirty are white
men arrested and sentenced for beat
ing rides Oh freight trains, which
constitutes a misdemeanor. Through
out the entire winter season these
northern birds of passage have been
picked up in the railroad yards here
and the regular dose prescribed by
Judge Harper, of the city court, is five
months in the gang, of a fine of $40.
Two such white hoboes were caught
yesterday and sent out for road ser
vice, while two others were sent out
the day before making four for the
week to date The "colonists" are well
taken care of here, and are probably
better off than sleeping in the woods

rested here recently, not one, so far
as known, claimed any trade or pro-

Longest Cannon.

The longest cannon in the
world has diameter of % in,
was built three centuries ago,
but has never fired a shot.
This unwieldy piece of artil-
lery now decorates the ruins of
an ancient fortress at Tanjore,
India. 1t is made of wrought
iron and was built by the Dutch
for the use of a native rajah in
defending his capital against the
attacks of some neighboring
tribe.
The big gun, however, was
never fired; and indeed never
could have been without disas-
trous results, because of the
crudity of its construction. The
wise rajah had neat little three
inch cannon mounted alongside,
and this he would fire into the
enemy's ranks with telling eff,
fectiveness. The big gun did
it's work without firing a shot.

Washinqton's Accuracy.

All schoolboys know something Of
Washington's adventures as surveyor
when he measured the great estates Of
Lord Fairfax, but perhaps few are
aware of the painstaking accuracy
with which he did his work. Many
years afterward it was found that the
surveys made by Washington when a
youth were the only land measure
ments of that part Of the country in
colonial days that could be depended
upon. Even after his death Washing
toms surveys passed unquestioned
among lawyers.

him through the dangers Of two wars
The whip top probably was a toy i'm
