? There was a conference at Colon last Friday between commissioners from Colombia, with Gen. Reyes at their head, and commissioners representing Panama. The object of the Colombia commission was to try to induce the Panama people to reconsider what they had done, etc. The Colombians made strong appeals to the Panamanians to re-enter the Colombian Republic, promising them concessions and protection. The Panamanians unanimously declined everything. Some of the Colombians showed ill-concealed anger, but there was no outbreak. Gen. Reyes favored the most friendly negotiations and the meeting passed amicably. The Colombians appeared to be ignorant of the true state of affairs on the isthmus, particularly of the rapidity of the developments and the friendliness of the protection of the United States. They were informed of the signing of the canal treaty, and Governor Melendez communicated to them a message he had received from the Junta, to the effect that the United States guaranteed the sovereignty and Independence of the Republic of Panama. These facts opened the Colombians' eyes to the truth. Ik Sahara Were a Sea.?French engineers have declared it is perfectly feasible to convert the desert of Sahara into a vast lake, thus opening to commerce great regions of the interior of Africa, which can now only be reached by long, tedious and dangerous caravan journeys. They say that a large portion of the desert lies below the level of the Atlantic, and that by digging a canal to let in the waters of the ocean the great change could be effected easily and at a cost which would be small compared to the benefits which would accrue. If the whole desert lay below the level of the Atlantic the flooding of it would create a sea more than four times as big as the Mediterranean: but nc Rnham is oomnosed of elevated plateaus, mountain ranges and deprt sslons, only a part would be covered by water when the waves of the ocean were let In, and the new sea thus formed would be an irregular body of water, probably of about the same size as the Mediterranean. Great commercial cities would at once spring up on its shores and trade and civilization strike at once to the heart of Africa, The sea of Sahara may never become a reality, but, in any event, it is a gigantic and pleasing dream.?London Answers.

Edgar Poag, Broker, authorizing him to sell 14J acres of broken land at $100 per acre, tie replied that he did not know where to find a purchaser at the price. Seemed to think it was more than Its ralue. In October I consented for him to sell it at auction without limit. In?tead of It netting me $95 per acre, as it would have done under the first proposition, it netted about $103.35 per icre. This satisfies me that he did setter at auction than he could have lone at private sale. I have found Mr. Poag pleasant and prompt in all transactions. (Signed) Mary E. White. Rock Hill, S. C., Sept. 5th, 1903. I placed two brick stores with J. Edjar Poag, Broker. He failed to get a - * - ??

Having 1 nothing on his bulletin to suit me, he ' asked if there was anything I would buy. I told him Dr. Fewell had 40 acres Joining me that I would buy at $10 per acre. He asked if that was all i would give. I replied it was. He arranged to sell me the land in less than a week. I have always found ( Poag quick on a trade, buying or sell- , ing. (Signed) J. H.

G. H. O'LEARY. Patrick Henry The great American orator and statesman, has been physically dead since June 6, 1799, but his wise, impassioned utterances are as much treasured in the minds and hearts of all liberty loving Americans today as they were when uttered by the immortal statesman. No maxim he or anybody else ever uttered was truer, than when he said, "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. Past experience, extending over a period of 58 years, proves that the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., has always led ALL other companies in liberality to policy holders, large ANNUAL dividends and LOW COST, and this being true is there a particle of reason to Imagine that it will not continue to lead in Ihese features of vital importance to the policy holder during the next hundred years or that beyond that time you have any special reason* to hope to be Interested?

Before we commenced to handle these famous vehicles here they had never before been offered to the people of this section, and we were warned that owing to this fact and the fact that they were higher in price thgn the people had been educated to pay, etc., they would not sell. We felt that we knew the people and KNEW that we KNEW the Summers Buggy. We are now in position to truthfully say that our expectations have been more than realized, owing to the fact that the people have become convinced that the Summers Buggy is not only the BEST, but the CHEAPEST BUGGY they have ever been offered in this section when style, comfort, durability, etc., are taken into account, and for this reaion it now sells itself.
