TELEGRAM TO HON. FRANK PARK, WASH
INGTON, ID. G.
j. j. Brown writes that Attorney-G General claims
letter was published in The Jetfersonian after
my trial in Augusta, threatening Instruction, if
1 were again taken into court.
The Attorney-General has been deceived by
some enemy Of mine.
No such letter, editorial article, statement or
insinuation was ever published in either of our
periodicals.
The letter referred to appears on page three of
weekly Jefersonian Of October FL, than a
month before my trial. The letter speaks for
itself and refers to the threat published i'm Stra1,S
magazine, puck
The substance of the Straus threat was, that
should be hanged, and the State of Georgia sub
jected to another Shermans march to the sea-
The exact language Of the letter this: Dear
Sir: Ever since reading that threat against you
and others my old blood has been hot When
General Straus, Colonel Hass, Major Ochs and all
that great army OF Jerusalemltes, march into
Georgia, to run you and others out of the State
even whisper assassination, feel like greasing
my old Betsey, l did in Johnson's army in
'64-'65. / old Confederate soldier, but
not too old to fight, if l am too old to When
such riotous talk that comes out in the jew
owned newspapers that same old spunk that our
forefathers had in 1876, 1872 comes right into
fellow"
You will see from this quotation that the threat
if it was one, was not against any court,
against any law, against any government 1t
was simply statement of the old Georgia sol
dier's willingness to fight in defense of my life
against assassins and to again go to the firing
line if another Shermans march should threaten
the State of Georgia
l give you the information in order that the
Government may be in possession of the actual
facts instead of the malicious fiction Of my enc
mics. Instead Of fearing or shrinking another
trial. in the United States Court, in Augusta, J.
have instructed my attorneys to insist upon
trial at the approaching May term.

about the size OF a lead pencil. If
there are no leaves at hand for finder
shave few OF the twigs as finely as
possible with sharp knife. leaving the
shaving attached to the twig at one
end. AS support for the kettle set
two nat stones on edge at an angle
about two sides OF the fire with their
rear edges touching, so as to keep the

blaze which this little fire gives at the
start will get up steam in short order,
and the glowing Goals which it leaves
will be just right for frying. II no

the ground at an angle so that 1t will
jut over the fire.-Outing.

A cheerful disposition is held by
some doctors to be the best protection
against cholera. When this disease
first visited Paris. in 1889, Il notice was
issued advising the inhabitants "to
avoid as far as possible all occasions Of
melancholy and all painful emotions
and to seek plenty of distractions and
amusements. Those with bright and
happy temperament are not likely TO
be stricken down." This advice was
largely followed, and even when chol-
era was claiming over thousand
weekly victims the theaters and cafes
were thrOnged. The epidemic was in
some quarters treated as huge joke,
and plays and songs were written
around it. Rochefort wrote play. lie
Cholera Morbus." which proved big
success, and another production on the
same lines. Paris malade." also had a
long run.

POLITENESS IN CHINA.
Il Takes a Peculiar Form at Times
Particularly at Dinner.

A Chinaman prides himself on his
politeness more than on anything else.
So when he meets you he shakes his
own hand. When he goes to leave you
he folds his hands across his breast
and makes three bows.
Some places in China it is considered
polite, when you are invited 10 Il
friends house, TO throw the chicken
bones on the floor. AS you are having
dinner and chatting about the rice crop
1t is proper form, when you get through
with drumstick, to toss 1t on the
floor and go on with the conversation.
The host takes this as compliment.
for 1t shows that you know that he has
servants enough to clean the things of
the floor. If you put the bones on the
plate 1t reflects on the number OF serv-
ants that he can afford to keep.
Ii you leave a dollar on your dress
Ing table your room boy wouldn't steal
1t for anything; he would lose face IL
he did, but when your back Is turned
he will exchange II for counterfeit.
He can do this and still keep his face.
IL you miss something about your room
and know positively that your boy stole
1t and accuse him he will deny 1t as
long as he has breath. Under q slow
fire and salt he would still deny that
he had taken 1t; to admit that he had
stolen your knife would be to lose face.
But after accusing him, If you will
let 1t go for day or two the knife will
mysteriously return, or you will find it
under handkerchief on your dresser.
You know that he has returned 1t, and
he knows that you know, but his face
has been saved, and as result he is
light hearted and happy.-Homer Croy

prising statement, you think? | defend
il by saying that the actor is liable to
fritter away his time. He plays a few
hours a. day, and for the remainder Of
the time he rests" He doesn't need

there will be rapid disintegration Of

adage than that concerning idleness

to do so. Cloth is cheap. and If they

Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol In SCOTS.

OUR NATIONAL FLAG.
Various Occasions When IL Was Flown
For the First Time.

For the First Time.
The first display Of the national flag
at a military post was at Fort Schuy-
Ter, on the site Of the present city Of
Rome, n. Y. The fort was besieged
early in August, 1777. The garrison
was without flag, so one was made
according TO the prescription Of con-
gress by cutting up sheets to form the
white stripes, bits Of scarlet cloth for
the red stripes. and the blue ground
for the stars was made from q piece
Of the blue cloak belonging to Captain
Abraham Swartwout of Duchess
county. n. Y. This flag was unfurled
over the fort on Aug. 3, 1777.
The national flag was first unfurled
in battle on the banks Of the Brandy
wine. Sept. IL. 1777. The flag was first
hoisted over a foreign stronghold June
%. 177S. when Captain Rathbone Of
the American sloop Of war Providence
captured Fort Nassau. on the Bahama
islands.
Captain Paul Jones was the first man
to display the American hag on an
American vessel. This flag was made
by the women Of Portsmouth, N. a.,
for the Ranger which was fitted out
at that port for Captain Jones. The
Ranger sailed from Portsmouth on
Nov. 1, 1777.

The Real and the Pretend.

Widespread artistic taste would have
had better chance to develop in this
country If we had not been so much
concerned with knowing what we
ought to know and liking what we
ought to like. The movement has
caught those whose taste happened to
coincide with the canons. 1t has per-
verted much larger host who have
tried to pretend that their taste coin
cided. and 1t has left untouched the
joyous masses who might easily, as In
other countries. have evolved a folk
culture II they had not been outlawed
by this ideal. - Randolph Bourne In
New Republic.
