INTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT. Col. Henry D. Capers Weds Mrs. Jen nie Buckner Gwyn. Thc following Item taken fi om the Atlanta Georgian will i>rove of interest to many in Oconee county: "Mr. Childless Buckner Gwyn, of Fitzgerald, Ga., announces the en gagement of his mother, Mrs. Jennie Buckner Gwyn, to Col. Heury D. Ca pers. Marriage to occur at the home of the bride on February 14, 1909." So Col. Capers' Valentino Day will be one worth while. It may have been a long time since Col. Capers bothered his head about little red hearts and lace paper missives, but it is safe to say that he is looking forward to the good saint's day this year as happily as though ho were just In his teeus. And the boy? who watch the Colo nel in the gymnasium at the Athletic Club are hardly willing to believe that he has put 74 years behind him. He did several stunts on the horizon tal har last week that few of the youngsters could match. "And you wouldn't take Mrs.Owyn to be a day more than thirty," re marked the Colonel Monday morn ing, though he didn't mind saying her age was just under the half cen tury mark. "She is just the finest example of a Southern woman I ever knew." The romance began at Washington several years ago und. was continued at Asheville. N. C., on the broad ve randas of Hie Battery Far'; Hotel. Mrs. Gwyn comes of a famous Vir ginia family and ls closely related to the Buck ne rs ol' Kentucky. Col. Ca pers ls a Confederate veteran, chief of the Veterans' Signal Corps of Georgia, a member of the South Carolina Society, and a prominent lawyer. He traces his lineage to distinguished South Carolinians of Revolutionary times. There is no finer type of the Southern gentleman of the old school than he.

New .'hui Announced to Save Uncle Sum's Forests from Fire. (Baltimore Sun.) "Wanted.-By the United States Government-3,000 Angora goats, able to eat anything, from a red Bhift or a circus poster to the bushy cb apa ral of the national forests; back alley goats of Jersoy City, Ho boken and Harlem especially de ' sired.' This is the advertisement which may be looked for within the next few days, when the government has completed a scheme formed of herd ing out 3,000 Angora goats on the hush-covered foot hills of California to eat away the bushy growth and thereby protect the forests. The goats will be spread out over an area and then properly guided, so as to eat lanes in the forests. These hines, it la calculated, will be 300 yards wide, and will serve to divide the forests Into patches, so to speak, so that If one patch gets afire, the flames will not spread to the adjoin ing patches. The Idea was made public recently by the bureau of forestry In a report showing the advantages of the plan. 10-Year Old Mother of Triplet?.

Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going properly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made.

COTTA BOWNE, 409 Pw 11 f \, New York MAY* <JO TO WHITE SCHOOLS. Fight In California Over Jape Seem? to Be at An End. Sacramento, Cal., Feb. ll.-Tho anti-Japanese measure, defeated yes terday in the California Legislature, has been the sensation of two Legis latures. lt was first introduced at tho ses sion two years ago by Grove L. Johnson, of Sacramento, ex-Cougress. man from this district and a member of tho State law-making body for many years. It was framed at the request of tho San Francisco board of education after tho hitter had passed a resolution barring Japa nese children from the schools at londed by white scholars and as signing them to the Institutions at tended hy Chinese. The law specified that VIongoliaus and Indians should he segregated, and the hoard's action was based on the contention that tho Japanese be longed to tho Mongolian race. This the Japanese denied as strenuously. The Japanese government protested to President Roosevelt and the mem bers of the school hoard, headed by the then mayor, Eugene E. Schmitz, were m m moued to a conference at Washington by President Roosevelt. The President sent an urgent mes sage to the Governor and Legislature of this Stale asking that the bill bo withdrawn, at least, for the period of two years, assuring them that In the meantime a treaty would he negotiated with Japan to do all in its power to restrict Japanese Immi gration and alleviate the conditions protested by the Japanese and Ko reans' Excision League of California, as well as numerous labor leaders. What .lol i M M m Said. Assemblyman Johnson, when be presented lt again on the first day for the presentation of bills at this session, said that he had done so without prompting hy the Asiatic Ex clusion League or any other organi zation. As soon as the Japanese heard the news of the revival of the bill, Japan I made, representations to Washington that to pass it would violate the treaty rights of that nation, and af ter a .consultation with Secretary of State Root, the President wired Gov ernor Gillett, urging that action be delayed again. But it was not over the school bill Federal authorities seemed to be concerned. They did not believe at hat time that it would pass. The President specifi cally mentioned as obnoxious a mea sure introduced by A. M. Drew, of Fresno, preventing the ownership of lands by allens. As Japanese are not permitted to become citizens, they considered the bili as a blow aimed especially at them. Governor Gillett sent a message to the Legislature ask ing that the land bill be killed, and this .was done. But later, when the school bill, which had been quietly reported favorably by the committee to which lt was referred, was called up for final passage, lt was adopted by a vote of 48 to 28. Roosevelt Abounded. The President was astounded by the news and at once wired Gover nor Gillette that this was "the most offensive bill of all." L. Walter Leeds, of Los Angeles, had given no tice that he would move to reton sldtr the vote, and when the mea sure passed the Governor sent ano ther message, urgiu<r the Assembly to reconsider and kill it. This precipitated a hattie that e?il minnted In a victory for the Presi dent. On a point ot* order raised in the Senate to-day, debate on tho message of Governor Gillett advlslug that no antl-allen legislation be adopted at this session was shut off, and the subject will probably not bo revived. Senator .Marc Antony's bill, sub mitting tho question of Asiatic im migration to a vote of the people, was defeated to-day hy a vote of 22 to 12.

Negro Colony, Now In a Bad Way, Asks for Aid. Washington, Feb. 12.-Earnest ef forts are being made by the admin istration to secure the appropriation of $20,000 for the expeuses Of a commission to go to Liberia to make recommendations as to what specific action on the part of the government Is desirable that will most aptly ren der effective relief to that republic under the present critical circum stances. The necessity for tills al ready has been set forth in a letter which President Roosevelt sent to Congress three weeks ago transmit- | ting v report on the subject, from Secretary Root. * Supplemental to this is a communication received by Representative Edwin Denby, of the foreign affairs committee, from As sistant Secretary of State O'Laugh lin, presenting additional reasons why the appropriation for tho com mission's work should he made. This lotter says that of the forty or fifty thousand Liberians, the ma jority are descendants of American negroes, and it is the duty of the United States at least to give the people an opportunity to continue to goverh themselves, not only because of the great humanitarian principle involvel, but because such action, in slight degree, "will be an atonement for the brutal and horrible practices Inseparable from the slave trade, by which Americans at first benefited, and which this government subse quently took measure*.' to suppress." Conditions in Liberia. Conditions in Liberia are thus set out: "In connection with the present conditions existing in Liberia, con sular reports speak of the magnifi cent agricultural possibilities of the country. Unfortunately, the means of communication are practically non-existent, there being only five or six cart, roads In the entire republic, and horses and mules do not live. The aborigines are not a troublesome people. They are kept In a state of peace and loyalty by gifts, etc., from the government, and produce abso lutely nothing beyond their own food. For commercial purposes, the whole of Liberia may be looked upon as a strip of coast land of varying width, as the penetration of rivers assists communication, but rarely ex ceeds thirty or forty miles. The Li berian people are generally very shiftless, very poor, and constantly pressed In upon by their French and British neighbors. The country ls absolutely undeveloped as to its rich hinterland. "A comparison of Liberia with the British colony of Sierra Leone, founded under exactly the same con ditions and ha % the same charac ter of hinterland, establishes that the territory of the republic is rich in possibilities. It would be unfortu nate for American prestige If we ss ere to fail at least to give once more some real assistance to the re public." State Depart mein Anxious. Tho State Department ls very anx ious that the appropriation be made promptly in order that the commis sion may reach Liberia before the rainy season starts In.

Helena, Mom., Feb. 12.-Thomas Hanby, a former South Carolinian, was to-day made the recipient in the Federal Court here of what ls re garded as tbs IE jst remarkable sen tence on record. Hanby, convicted on a bigamy charge, was not only lined $100 and sent to jail for six months, but was also sentenced to marry an Indian woman. Hanby's first wife, learning of his marriage to pretty Mary La Brecke, a Blackfoot maiden, secured his in dictment and thou a legal separation for herself. Because of the first mar riage the cecond marriage was de clared void. Judge Hunt not, only imposed the sentence indicated, but Instructed the United States marsh I to see that the marriage was carried out imme diately, and this was done, a justice^ of the peace (Milting the couple.

Alb!, France, Feb. 13.-A double execution was carried out publicly in Albi Wednesday morning in the presence of an immense, but orderly, gathering of people. There was con. siderable opposition to the executlo. and it was expressed during the night by a crowd of workingmen who paraded the Btreets of Albi singing revolutionary Bongs. the letter argues, give hope and courage, while Its failure would bring discouragement to the entire black race. If action be not taken, there ls no doubt that Liberia will not be able to maintain itself much longer; and it would seem that the inhabitants ought to have at least another trial, with some direction from men developed In civilization, before being extinguished as a na tionality, and placing upon their race the opprobrium of being unfit to gov ern themselves.
