slip. preparatory to proceeding up the
line, when Holton saw against the
blackness a deeper black-something
that seemed to move.
1t was out In the bay, perhaps two
hundred yards. AS he lowered his
head. straining his eyes into the sable
curtain, he found he had lost whatever
he had seen.
= Perhaps his Imagination had played
him false But no. that could not be,
for In his first glance he remembered
that some. stars on the horizon had
been blotted out by the object That
certainly was suggestive of its tangi-
tiiity
Holton went to the little bridge,
and. pointing out the spot where he
had last seen the moving blot on the
night. ordered the Gnat to head In that
direction at half-speed.
For five minutes the little craft pro-
ceeded out into the bay, and then sud
denly Holton made out clearly the out
lines Of small tugboat, with skin
in tow.
,Heave to. or I'll fret" cried Hol-
ton.
Still no reply. but the propeller of
the tug could be heard churning the
water in excess speed.
Without further word, Holton snatch
ed the rifle from the sailors hand, took
quick aim, and let dive. AS response,
there came five shots In rapid success
sion from the tug, the bullets rattling

lators.
Full speed ahead!" cried Holton, in
full exaltation at hearing for the first
time the whistle of bullets discharged
In anger. Right into her." he added,
forgetful of his boats "tin bow"-"run
her down.
When within hundred feet the
Gnat sheered off. made detour, and
rounded to in front of the tugs bow.
Stop" yelled Holton. leveling the
rifle. Stand by that machine gum"
he added in low tone to the man at
his side.
The tug stopped abruptly, but not
sound came from her.
What boat is that?" called Holton.
No reply.
AS the bow of the torpedo boat
rasped against the tenders of the
stranger. Holton, his pistol in hand,
ieaped over her guards to the deck.
Three Of his men followed.
Then, as though by magic, shadowy
forms arose. A dark figure moved
swiftly at Holton's side, and as his re-
yolyer blazed in the mans face, he
felt the sharp impact of q weighted
club upon his shoulder.
Another man seized him from be-
hind. and In an instant the deck was
the scene of wild hand-to-hand fight.
Holton felled his foe with revolver
and then turned to the assistance OF
ono, OF his seamen, beset by two men.
Reyolvers were banging on all sides,
wildly, as 1t appeared to Holton. for he
caught feeting glimpses of his three
men fighting as American sailormen
can.
In a flash Of light Holton saw man
bending at the stern. In his hand was
the match whence the flash had come
The officer darted swiftly toward him.
He saw a sputter of sparks. Quick as
thought he turned.

Suitlng action to his words. he dived
swiftly into the dark waters, and the
next instant the Port Of Tampa was
startled by an explosion which shat
tered the windows OF the hotel and
brought thousands rushing out INTO the
night.

head emerged above the>water. was to

Last summer l spent my vacation

CHURCH PUBLICITY

While we regard the Church as being
too sacred an institution to resort to
freak advertising, circus bill-posters,
and the like, to attract people, yet we
are decidedly Of opinion that it is
good thing for the pastors, or his Of
ficials, to advertise their services,
special occasion, and musical pro-
grams. Does not Moses say (Num-
mers "a, 14) Il will advertise thee?"
We are not here referring to paid
advertisements, such as are carried
by some of the papers in the larger
cities. We are speaking of the
Church Notices" that appear Satur-
day afternoon and Sunday morning in
their appropriate column.
Some of the older and more con-
sentative brethren object to pastors
announcing his theme. They call this
sensational They object to anything
but "The pastor will preach at II
o'clock and at night"
If the pastor expectes to base his
sermon an incident in the life of
Amasalom, it would be entirely right
and proper for him to announce as
his theme: "A Disobedient Son." but
not "A Smart Young Man Up a
Tree"
This illustrates the difference be-
tween proper Church Publicity"
and sensational advertising.

The Origin of Shaking Hands

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with a person whom you
know? Here is the reason, says an
exchange:
I'm olden days, when every man
who had any pretense to being a
gentleman carried a sword, it was the
custom for men when they met, to
show that they had no intention of
treachery, to offer each other their
weapon hands, or, in other words, the
hand that would be used to draw the
sword, and to hold hack that hand was
usually signal for a fight
This habit became so fixed that
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to
a friend and declined to offer it to an
enemy.
ITO this day when you refuse to
shake hands with person it signifies
that you are at war. Among savages
who never carried swords the practice
of shaking hands is unknown and it
affords them great dealtof amuse-
ment to see white men do it,"

JUST WAITING AND WISHING

Some people, in addition to idle
waiting, spend a good part of their
time wishing. They wish they had
chance to do something. They wish
they had as good a chance as some one
else has. They wish they had their

The Panama-Pacifc Exposition will
be international in fact as well as in
name, celebrating an event of deep
interest to all the world, and Georgia
should take the place there to which
her wealth and standing entitle her
2. Every other state. In the Union
is making plans to be represented
there and if Georgia falls down, she
will do herself an injustice and be-
come the subject of contempt and rid
icule among her sister States and the
nations of the world.
8. Georgia claims to be the Empire
State of the South. With less than half
her land in cultivation, she stands
fourth among all the states in the
annual value of her farm products. A
proper display at the Exposition will
bring thousands of home-seekers her9
in search of fertile soil.
4. 1t is only necessary to show the
world our great variety of soil, re-

vince them of the healthfulness Of
our climate, to attach investors.

Chinese Wall around her borders and
live happily within the Enclosure, we
do not want to become another China.

TEXAS
(Memphis New Scimitar.)


The people of Texas are proud of the
great state, and with reason. 1t con-
tains 265,7OO square miles, divided into
252 counties, of which five remain I'M
organized. In population, Dallas coun-
ty leads with 135,747 persons and
Cochran county comes last, with only
sitxy-five persons. The port of Gal
weston handles foreign commerce
which exceeds the combined total for
eign commerce Of all the Pacific ports.
Texas has more railroad mileage than
any state in the Union, but, territory
considered, it will require four times
as much as it has to equal the mileage
of the state of Illinois. In agricultural
products Texas is in a class by itself,
cultivating 3O,OOOOOO acres of land,
which is about one-fourth of the tilla
able part of its superficial area. When
the Texan goes abroad he makes
loud noise, and according to these sta
tlstlcs he has every right to be heard.

In his race for the short term Gov.
Slaton has bag lead. His opponents
tried to prejudice the minds of the
people against him because he has
become endowed with goodly portion
of worldly goods. But such tommy
rot has had the reverse effect and the
people say if he is shrewd enough to
take care of his own interests he can
be trusted to care for their affairs
The consensus of opinion of the edit
ors, is that Slaton will go into the

Reasons Wig Georgia Should Exhibit At the San Francisco
EXPOSITION
Exposition

Nor do we want to initiate the unfor-
tunata example of a Napoleon whose
one time policy of non intercourse
with the outside rcommercial~ world
proved as disastrous to the French
people as did his wars
6. Our State has boundless water
powers, only partially developed. 1t is
wise state craft to show this to the
world and thus attract more mills and
other industries, increasing ouEs oHt-
put, increasing the opportunities for
employment and bringing in new
wealth.
7. We should show that we nave
supplies of marble, granite, clays and
other minerals to last the whole world
for ages.
8. We should advertise to all the
world our fruits. cane syrup, pecans,
cotton seed oil, meal, melons and pro-
ducts of our factories and thus ex-
tend the markets for them.
9. If Georgia fails to participate
she will be discredited; her prestige,
standing and even credit will SUITE"
and we will be many years in recov9'-
ing from the folly which will be
construed as evidence of our poverty
and lack of enterprise.
