chinaman and His Queue.

On April 16, at what was once the
village Of Fanpouy. l met a Chinese
who was trying to grow a queue. 1t
was only about a O q long and did
not improve his appearance any. That
day while out in the fields s%alvaging
ammunition. his nose told him he vas
in the vicinity of some unsucceSsfully
buried foreigners. He was hardened
by this time to all sorts Of disagree
able things. but the incident went to
the back of his head and only served
to strengthen his belief that he should
grow a queue. Foreigners wear their
hair cut short. He had been in france
going on two years and had long since
concluded that he did lot want to imi-
tate them. Hence the Queue.-WOrld's

Script or Print WRITING?

There is j movement in England to
abolish script writing and replace II
by print writing. The characters used
in the proposed system are the ordi-
nary printed letters known as the Ro-
man block letters with the exception
of "a" and e." which are simplifed
into their script forms. Print char
acters were used centuries ago by
monks before script writing became
the fashion. Advocates Of the pro
posed reform claim that it has many
advantages over ordinary handwrit-
ing. particularly in that the child
learns much more quickly. Many Brit
Ssh educational authorities favor print
writing and it is taught in numerous
British schools. There is 10 waste Of
time on the innumerable Jennings OF
letters. and superfluons loops and
flourishes are abolished. At least one
big London firm has adopted the sys-
tenn.

At least two novel features are m
bodied in the construction Of a new
adding machine described in the POpu-
tar Mechanics Magazine. Most re-
markable, perhaps. is the facility and
safety with which it may be taken
apart. in spite Of its complex nature,
q pair Of pliers and a %penknife being
the only tools necessary. The opera.
ton of greatest value, however, is the
machines ability to subtract as easily

0 simple reversing lever which causes

LAW AS TO COLOR BLINDNESS
ing to Ruling Made by Georgia
Superior Court.

Colcr blindness does not mean total
loss of sight in the meaning of the law,
1T was held recently by Judge John T.
Pendleton in the motion division of
Superior court at Atlanta, Ga.
Judge Pendleton's decision cleared
a legal point raised only once before
in the United States, so far as is shown
by court records. This was in Ne
braSka, where both the lower court
and the State Supreme court held that
color blindness means total blindness.
The question was raised in a suit
brought by George l.. Fallin, who was
q locomotive engineer for the Atlanta
Joint Terminals. against the~Iocomo-
tive Engineer Mutual Insurance and
Accident association. a branch of
the brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers.
Engineer Fallin. it was set out, be-
came color blind while engaged in his
line of duty and was discharged from
his position. He then applied to the
engineers association for his insur
ance-S1, 5OO-for the loss OF his eye
sight. as stipulated in the policy. The
association. however. declined to pay
the amount on the ground that color
blindness did not come within the
terms of the policy concerning blind
ness. Fallin then brought suit in the
courts through his counsel. City Attor-
ney James l.. Mayson.

today. B. f. Huls' 1874 acres sold for
5000 per acre, $S6,5OO, to T. W.

This same tract of land was sold by
E. L. Sykes one year ago for 500 pei
acre. The Hussey Brothers $40 acres
was sold to L. b. Porter of Bowling

County land is advancing as rapidly
as the delta lands. Every train brings
in prospective buyers from Tennes-

other states. Aberdeen has the larg-

the Lincoln Harbold ranch, and the
largest creamery in the south, owned

These are two drawing cards, besides
the best land that our neighborng
towns have not.

EnEland as Germanv.n

England as Germany"
See,y. Daniels has very promptly
repudiated any suggestion that he
made such a remark and the inference
is that it was made by some naval
official in the loose talk customary
among soldiers and sailors in their
moments of confidence. Simms has
done his country a great injustice
and embarrassed a fellow officer by
giving publicity to an important pri-
vate conversation, never intended for
the people.
But there is another aspect Of his
outbreak. The presidential election
is coming on and anything that will
discredit the Democratic administra-
tion is welcomed by the republicans.
Simms is confidentially relied up
on to east a shadow over the bril-
liant record of the navy's achieve
ment for political purposes, and, thus
help to GUST the party in power.
Such is the thing in nutshell.
