It was not always thus, but since theadvent of the present proprietor It has moved forward rapidly to the front rank. Mr. H. L. Paylor, the proprietor, is a young and aggressive hotel man who has made a study of his business, and who has grasped the details as well as the general requisites for good hotel service. For sometime he was clerk at the Hotel Chatawka, of New Bern, N. C? and from thora h? went to (4oldsboro,N. C., where for three years be managed the noiei Jvennuu successfully. With this experience he went to Wilson, N. C., where he was for sometime one of the proprietors ot the 12rlggs Hotel. In all his hotel work he achieved great success. Hacked by sucb splendid experience, Mr. Pay lor was Just the man for the Commercial, when the time came last summer for It to change hands. He brought with him a most thorough executive ability and a determination to make a success where others had failed. On August 1st, this year, Mr. Paylor took charge of the Commercial in this city. He found it in the hands of a receiver, with Its business badly run down and saw at once tbat he had a Held open for him to display his abilities as a hotel manager. He set to work with a will and any one wbo takes a meal or spends a day at the Commercial now will be ready, willing and anxious to pay him the highest tribute. Mr. Paylor has had a great deal of work done In repapering, repainting and general repairing and has arranged the hotel so as to render the very best service to his patrons. A good table Is always the first thing to be secured at a boiel, if the inauagement wishes to please the patrons. Mr. Paylor lias secured such service us to render bis table the best in Athens. He buys judiciously and with splendid taste and discrimination, furnishes the best and most palatable dishes In the greatest variety, and see that everything is well cooked and well served. wia siowRrd. who is in charge of the cuisine department. Is Irom New York. He bad Been for several years employed in the Leland, of Chicago, and the Windsor, of New York. He was serving at the Windsor when that hotel was burned several months since. He is a master in his trade and everyone who eats ai the Commercial Hotel is satisfied of that fact. Mr. Paylar has greatly elevated the Commercial In the opinion of travelling men as well as citizens and in fact there is no better $2 house to be found anywhere. The proprietor of the Commercial hap set a new pace in Athens for hotel service. He gives the busluesn bis careiul personal supervision, sees that his guests are properly quartered and well-served, and makes it pleasant for all who come to the Commercial. His servants are polite aud prompt, everything around the bote! is kept scrupulously dean, the very beat of everything is secured for the benefit of guests, and it is now a real t delight to stop at the Commercial. In an issue devoted to writing up the various Interests and attractions ol Athens it would be an unpardonable omission to pass by the Commercial hotel since its new management has had control. / News and Courier Another new feature of Abbeville's growth In the present management of Glen-Ethel Inn.

Autflo-Saxon or American?Which T! Editor Press and Banner, # Dear sir: The majority of the speakers and of the newspapers of this country Of.onrs seems to be affected, more or less, with chronic Anglo-Saxonmania; they Indeed rarely miss the occasion to represent the Americans as an Anglo-Saxon race. I wish somebody wonld tell me by which occult and subtile trick, the mere fact of landing upon the soil of America, is sufficient to make up the total or partial deficiency of Anglo-Saxon blood that may exist In the emigrants to this country and bring them to the regular standard of the Anglo Saxon race. I The answer to this question may Interest. many who came In America from the different parts of the old world without a single atom of Anglo Saxon blood in their veins and who would, I am confident, learn curiousely how they have become Anglo-Saxon blooded. For me, when I examine the numerous and various elements composing the American nation, I come to the conclusion that these elements have been sufficiently mixed up, fused or compounded, for two centuries, to form, at present so to speaK. an entirely new, distloct and it Is to be hoped, superior product. 1 understand, therefore, that the orators and the press of this country should cease their Inconsiderate discrimination that consists In noticing the Anglo Saxon race and In ignoring the many other, no less valuable, races who have contributed and continue to contribute to the formation of the American nation, and should. Instead, be proud to make boast of The Amerloan Race. Yours very truly. E. C. Meschlne. Shampoo your own head and save barber' fee. Laslblra will clean the scalp.

A party of northern men were there prospecting for timber land, and beiug keen sportsmen decided to avail themselves of the chance of a lifetime to enjoy a deer hunt on horseback. They were in" a wild, sparsely settled part of the state where deer abounded, and as every lanky, ague-stricken native possessed not less than one gaunt, hungry-looking hound for every tow-headed child that called him "rlndilv ? those wllO kUOW IlOW large a proportion of the population of the state is composed of tow-headed children will readily understand that our sportsmen anticipated no trouble in securing a large and variegated pack of hounds. It was therefore without a misgiving that they reined in their hordes beside the rough rail fence surrounding a rude log cabin. Within aud scattered about the inclosure were several towheads, who scuttled shyly away at the approach of the strangers. Seated in the open door of the cabin was a dirty faced, sorrowful-looking woman, who listlessly eyed our party through the half closed lids of her watery blue eyes. "(Jood morning, madam,ventured the spokesman. ''Isyour husband at home ?" The woman rose languidly to her feet, removed the snuff stick from her mouth and discharged a volume of liquid extract of tobacco. A gaunt sow of the razor back variety, training at her heels a numerous progeny, pushed from under the cabin, gavean inquiring grunt at the northerners and began rooting industriously in the ground at the woman's feet. 11 rn i? "looo mo noma flint IliC lusi ?xij y. madam," the woman replied; drawlingly, "an' in th' secou' place, my husbau' ain^t 'ome. Ef yer th' she'iff com' ter 're-<t 'im, yer'li be 'bleeged ter ride further." She was assured that the .party had no designs upon her husband's liberty, but to secure thb loan of a pack of hounds was their.mission. "We ain't ?ot no houn's an' never had none," she replied, still suspicious, as she walked to the fence. "Say, tbar, mister," she exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the hand of one of the party, ain't that thing er diraont ?" "It i9" the owner of the diamond replied. "Would you like to look at it?" he asked, drawing from his finger a ring in which a small diamond waai set. "An' ken I take it in my own j ban' ?" she asked eagerly. . i "Certainly," was the reply. "Put ft; on your finger and see how it looks there." With the light of other days shining in her faded eyes, she tremblingly pushed the ring on her bony, knotted forefinger. Slowly she turned her hand about,' watching with a pleased childlike expression the scintillations of the stone. Theu, with a sigh, the ring was withdrawn and returned to the owner. "Whut wus it you saia erooui wantin'ter borry some houns'?" she asked, after a moment's silence. "We simply wish to borrow the dogs for to-morrow, when we intend having a deerhunt." , "Wall," she replied, heeitatinely, "I reck in I kin get yersome." Then walking briskly to the cabin door, she took down a long cowhorn that hung on a nail, and, placing it to her lips, blew three loud blasts. A moment later we heard musical note's of an answering blast come from somewhere in the dense woods back of the cabin. It was not a great while before a man, who carried in his hand a long barreled rifle, appeared on the further I side of the clearing and cautiously approached the party. . "Hit's all right, Jake," the woman shouted, "they ain't after you." ' Mornin' strangers. 'Light an' come in. Th' ol' woman'll have er snack ready in er minute," the man called cheerily. "Houn's? Yes sir ree bob. You shooly have struck the right place fer houn's. I've got fifteen, big an' little, an' Brer Bill, who lives acrost Chicken Thief creek, he's got er dozen er mo'. An' then ol' man Qoiight, over on Pigeon lloost, has got nigh onter twenty. He was informed that fifteen would be sufficient, provided tbey would run a deer. "Humph," hegrunted contemptuously, "they'll run anything fur a rabbit to eryelerphant." The sun had just risen tbe next morning.when the party again drew rein at the cabin. "'toornin' gentlemen. 'Light an' have ersnack. Wall, ef yer won't yer won't, I reckon. I'd go with yer, but I'v got some business to tend ter over yan," the Arkansan added apologetically, pointing to the woods back of the cabin. "Better take thish yeah hawn, er th' dawgs won't foller." In his younger days one of the party bad learned the art of extracting from a cow's horn the few notes of wbich it is capable, and after a number of ludicrous failures he succeeded finally in awakening the Interest of the dogs, 'and with tbe pack trailing behind, the party rode away. Soon tbey reached the end of the river bottom an^l tbe hunt began. Striking off from the road into the jungle of bushes and cane, lofty treeB and Innumer aoie interlacing vine, mey careruny picked their way along a cow path, the hounds far in^ advance. The sun was well on towards the meridian before a sound was heard from the dog9. Then the musical, half-mournful cry of a hound was hefu*d. Soon another joined "in, then another aud another, until the entire pack was in full cry. -i. Heedless of the stinging blows of cane and bushes, thebuuters whipped up their horses stumbl ing aud flou ndering through the switch cane and vines, and they were pretty well spent when a stretch of open woods was reached. Far in advance the hindmost dogs, tails high in the air and noses close to the ground, were seen tearing along in the wake of their leaders. "There goes the deer," shouted the foremost one of the hunters. "It's a buck with magnificent antlers." "Whoop!" And with wild yells the men lashed their horses along, but the place soon told on the tired animals and their speed slackened. The m^isic of the hounds dr?*w gradually away until it was almost lost in the distance, and the hunters were beginning to despair or even getting a shot at the deer. Then it was noticed that thenrv of tbe dogs was becoming louder. Nearer they came. Louder swelled the music. The air became full of it, and the echoes in the hills awoke. ' The deer is doubling back," cried r>ne of the party. "Let us get ready for him." Excitedly the men dismounted arid tethered their horses, then, with guns held nervously :it ready, they waited the approach of the chase. On came I he hounds, their voices becoming clear aud distinct. Nearer?nearer? md the men, with every nerve ptruug to its utmost tension, poiuted the wavering muzzles of their guns towards the dense growth of switeh :'ane through which the deer must - * come. A crashing and floundering in ( the cane was followed immediately by the deafeniug report of both barrels of the shotgun. A dense cloud of blue smoke hung in the motionless air, enshrouding the men and blotting out the canebrake. Then the smoke was scattered by a gentle breeze, and the one who had tired was seen leaning on his gun, pale and trembling. "A clear miss! Why didn't you wait until you had a better sight ofi the deer?" "I-er I didu'tsee it all," I managed to reply, that sinking feeling in my stomach having become by that time somewhat bearable. "Well, why did you fire?" " ! ! ! !" chorused the others. When the hounds reached the place where the crashing had been heard they turned abruptly toward the hills and we followed them. The sun was hanging low in the west, and the frosty chill of a November night was stealing over us as we struck higher ground and open woods. The dogs, still in fury, were not far ahead of us and We whipped our horses into a swinging gallop. Soon we saw in front of us a clearing and in its center a log cabin, surrounded by the usual rail fence. As we reached the edge of the clearing we saw a gaunt, long-legged animal, its tail carried well aloft, nimbly leaped the fence and come to a stand, panting and breathless' beside, the cabin. "Whut in blazes d'you fellers wanter be er chasing my cow fer ?" a- voice asked irately, and we ,saw emerging from the house a man who carried a long-barreled rifle. "Thought she wuz er deah ? Uv all the blankety blank fools I ever seen ! Can't tell er cow fum er deah !" . ? '. - We settled the damages and in silent discrust tamed our hoiBfes towards the' cabin of the owner of the dogs..' ^ ;1 " Whatrbeconue of those fine antlers ?V I asked with ill-timed sarcasm. "Guess she mast have shed them' when 'you shot at the deer," was the tart reply, and I relapsed into a silence tbat became painful. * ' * * * : * "Run er cow ? Well, be dog goned !
