harbors of the South

Do you know that the South
has more than one-half of the
coast line of the country, and
that Southern ports are fast be-
coming the great world centers
of trade and commerce? We
hear much about the cities on
the Pacific Coast-Portland,
Seattle. San Francisco and
Tacoma, but Galveston exports
nearly twice as much as all the
cities on the Pacific Coast COM
bined. Savannah exports more
than Boston or Philadelphia,
and twice as much as San Fran
cisco. New Orleans exports
about as much as Boston. Phila-
delphia and San Francisco COM
bined; Mobile more than four
times as much as Portland,
Maine, and Tampa, Florida,
more than four times as much az
San Diego, California. The
opening of the Panama Canal
will increase foreign trade, and
the development of the South
will come more rapidly owing to
its proximity to the canal and
thus to Pacifice markets, Geo.
graphically, the location of
harbors is not only far
ahead of any other part of the
United States, but any other
part of the world. -Graeme

To Fix State Line.

Hickman, KY, April Is. In ordel
to settle dispute Of long standing
over the state line between Ken
lucky and Tennessee between the
counties of Fulton, Kentucky, and
Lake, Tennessee, the government
has sent here a man with the nee
essary instruments to ascertain
whether or not the state line stones
have been moved or changed The
work is done at night with an in
strument weighing about six hum
dred pounds, taking observations Of
the stars in order to ascertain
whether ar not these stones have
been moved, according to certain
longitude and latitude and location
of certain stars. 1t takes about
three nights on each rock or stone,
being necessary that the nights be
perfectly clear. This work will be
finished tonight if the night is clear.
This matter was taken up with
Senator Ollie James Of Kentucky

How to Prevent Breeding Of Files.

The most effective method Of
controlling flies is by preventing fly
breeding says DR.. W. A. Evans, an
eminent health authority and pub
licist. AS rule this means that
no collection of moist manure is to
be left accessible to flies for as long
as week during hot weather.
Fly eggs and larvae live for a
week in hot weather in most ma
nure. Therefore, if manure is haul
ed away and spread oftener than
once a week it will not breed flies.
The advantage Of a daily removal
is that it means no manure boxes,
manure pits or manure piles, and
practical experience proves that
give a stable an inch and it takes
an ell.
The only places that have entire
ly conquered the fly nuisance re-
move manure daily. The only ma
nure receptacle are small and por-
table. If prompt removal is not
possible the next most effective pro-
cedure is treatment with chemicals.
The methods Of treatment adj
vised by authorities are with borax,
or colemanite, or sulphate Of iron.
If the amount Of manure is small
and a good deal Of ground is avail
able, spreading in thin layers on the
ground at intervals Of three days or
less is feasible and efficient

In Respect to tho President.

Let us quarrel among ourselves

that we are in the midst not mere

grave international complication,
Let us support the President in his
endeavors to keep the peace, wheth-
er we vote for his reelection or not.
Politically, he is a Democratic can
didate for reelection, but interna-
tionally he is our President--a con-
scientious and high minded Chris
tan gentlemen, seeking light on
very vexed problems. 1t is the
privilege Of any American to vote
against his reelection; on that mat
ter the Advance offers no advise;
but while he is President, and while
his hands are full and his heart is
burdcned with conditions that
threaten our peace and the peace Of
the whole world, if he can keep us
out Of war, may God and every
good citizen assist him. What
shall we do, Individually, next No

for himself; but from now to March

Admitting that the diagnosis is
correct, the next question that nat
urally arises is whether an aggres'
sive military man like Col. Roose
welt would have ghost Of show
in defeating Woodrow Wilson, who
will be nominated by the democrats
1t is quite generally beliexed in
Washington now that the contest
for the nomination will settle down
to one between Roosevelt and
Hughes, and that if the latter de-
clines tine honor, as, indeed, it is
thought by many public men here
he may yet do, the colonel at the
present moment has The best show
Of capturing the nomination.
He has thrown his hat into the
ring, and his warlike utterances ac.
companying that action make it
plain, as he says, just what the peo-
pie may expect if he should become
president again. But If the voters
Of a great, busy, prosperous state
like Michigan want a pacifist Of the
Henry Ford stripe for president, the
inference is thought to be plain that
the people Of the whole country
are, to an extent, at least, Of the
same mind.
Outside Of the city Of Detroit and
the county Of Wayne, where he
lives and employees many thousands
Of workmen at big wages, Mr.. Ford
is no better known in Michigan than
he is to the voters Of any other
state. His competitor, it has been
claimed for him, and probably the
claim is justified, for he has long
been in public life and has spoken
almost literally from every stump
and every hastings in it, knows per-
sonally more people in Michigan
than any other man. Yet Ford,
protesting that he is not a candi-
date, defeats Smith, who vocifer-
ously announces that he is, and the
result, perforce, makes the polite
ians pause. Washington Correspon-
dence Providence Journal.

Greatest Event Of Your Life.

A happy death Is the seal OF our
earthly career. and no event of our
life can equal it If you we're to en-
herit a million, yea, untold millions;
liz you had the ful6llment Of all
your desires: if you could obtain a
kingdom; if you could live to be as
old as Methusalem and pass all
these years in undisturbed happi-
ness, in the enjoyment Of perfect
health, without the least adversely
of any kind, you would say that life
were worth living. And just what
would all this amount to if you
should not die a happy death? A
happy death is therefore the great
est event Of your life, to which you
must look forward with intense at
tention. 1t is the great prize you
must obtain: so rum says St. Paul
that you may obtain it. Il. Cor.
tx, 24.)
Who will guarantee this prize?
Who will assure you a seat in the
heavenly kingdom, dwelling in
the eternpl mansionsY
If there were a place in the world
where insurance for a happy death
and tickets Of admission into the
kingdom Of God were sold, people
would hurry there from the extrem-
tiles of the world and pay fabulous
sums to obtain them.
And yet the golden key to heav-
en- is within the reach Of everybody,
the poor as well as the rich, the ig-
norant as well as the learned. This
golden key is the Crucifx, for the
Crucified is the fountain head Of
salvation.
If, therefore, you dread the COM
ing judgment; if your sins fill you
with terror and despair, look up to
the Crucified on Calvary. There is
your Judge, His arms outsretched
to embrace you, His heart opened
to receive you. Yet He is in your
hands. Appease His anger now,
settle your accounts and crave for
giveness of your sins. Love Him
who has loved you with exceeding
great love. Make the vision Of Cal
vary your daily practice, the vision
Of Christ's Calvary and Of your own.
