It lit good for a mau tu travol and
study geography without a book. 1
am down hero in the wlrograss talking
to tho people living along tho lino
from Cordelo to Savannah. This Is a
uew road tu mo. it is only ton years
old and is callud tho "SAM" road.
Tho Seaboard has got It now. Sal Im
bought Sam and is running him. If
railroads have sex the feminine in
ahead. Some mighty big things arc
feminine. Ships aro called she, but
that they uay it) because tho rigging
costs more than tho hull.
An old man showed me tho spot at
Mt. Vornon where tlio old log schooi
housu stood in which my fathor tuught
school uomo eighty yours ago. Father
used to tell ua Iiis varied experience
there. How houio had hoy.-, bad ran
throe toachors olT in auecoaalon and
broke up the acuoola and bow roluet
antly he undertook tho work of reform
ing them, lie had about sixty BObolars,
boys and girl-, and their ages ranged
from eight to eighloeu yours. Tho old
est boy w?:i ?ix foot tall, a sapling with
long arms and logs, a red head and a
freckled face. Lie watt tho ringleader
in running the toachorB oil ami father
was cautioned about him. Tho first
day ho made thum a good kind, friend
ly talk, told them ho camo to do them
good, to teach them books and morals,
and manners, and he wanted thorn to
obey tho ruloa and help him to maku
the school a bucccbs. Vcu can't afford,
he Bald, to grow up without some edu
cation. No nice young man would
marry tho girls, and no smart girl
would marry an uneducatud boy. Now,
hoys, when you come Into school after
dinner I want you to couio in good or
der. Don't rush and crowd tho door
way like you did thla morning. You
ran ovor a little girl ard throw her
down and hurt her. He quiet and or
derly and eoine in two or throo at a
time, and before you tuko your Boat
mako a little bow to me. That's nice :
that's good manner-.. I will liko that
and I want all of you boya and girls to
do that. Will you do It V If you will
pleaae hold up your hands. All hands
wont up promptly except those of Bill
Jenkins, tho red-headed rebel. Next
morning ho declined to make a bow,
but looked sour and defiant. When
school turned out that evening, father
heard him say : " I'll bo durned if I'll
mako a bow to any Yankee." Next
morning two other big boya failed to
bow. Bui Jonkina had worked on thorn.
That evening father told 13111 to stay in
a little while, as ho wished to suo him
after school broko up. Iio stayed and
the door was ahut. Tho other boya
peeped through the cracks between
the logs to see and hear what waa go
ing on. Father talked to Jenkins kind
ly and told him of tho bad example ho
waa sotting and ao forth, and begged
him to conform to the rulos. " Now,"
aald he, "William, will you promisoto
make a bow to me tomorrow morning?''
" No, I'll bo durned if I do," said Jenk
ina." That aottlod it. Tho crisis that
father had dreaded had come, Ho got
between Jenkins and the door and said
firmly : " Woll, air, you have got to do
one of three things. You have got to
how, or quit school, or take, a whipping.
Which will you dor" "I'll bo gol
durned if I'll do airy one," aald Bill.
Father's hickory waa within his reach
between two logs. He seized it and
began on Jenkins with stinging strokes
and Jenkins made for him with his long
arms, and used cusa words abundant.
They fought like wildcats, turned over
benches, broke the wuter hucket und
for ten minutes the eontlict raged, for
father was < tout and waa in the right
and kopt the hickory going and funded
olT tho strokes of Hill's long arms.
After a while they cliuched and father
got him down between two puncheon
seats and pummelled him good. Ho
hollered enough and to let him up, and
aftor they got their breath father said:
" Now, Jenkins, what will you do." Ho
blubbered out : " I'm gwlno homo and
stay there. " I'll bu gol durned If I'm
wine, to Bchool to you any more."
" Well, why didn't you aay that at first
and save the whipping ?" aald father.
All this time there were a hundred
eyej-peeping, through tho cracks bo
Vween tho logs, but not a word was
aald. Jenkins never camo buck and
the crisis was ovor. From that time
on for two yoara there was u good,
orderly school and mv father's reputa
tlon waa made. Tho Yankee had whip
ped Hill Jonkina and that sottled him
in tho favor of tho pi irons.
I wish everybody could visit tho littlo
village of Longpond. It la In tho coun
try, eight mllea from Mt. Vernon, and
eight miles from a railroad. 1 never
waa in a better settlement of farming
people. I spoko there in tho day timo
and those country people came from far
and near and spread before us the
linest pic nie dinner I ever saw. It is
a Scotch settlement, and their fathers
and grandfathers all came from Kobin
BOn County, in North Carolina. At
least three-fourths of tho names begin
with tho prolix of Me. I mado a mem
orandum of tho many Mca 1 was intro
duced to?all dilfcrent?such as MoAr
thur, McKao, McAllstor, McLung, Mc
Nalr, McLaurin, McLemoro, McGuffie,
McUuflie, McConnel, McDonald, Mc
Daniel and bo forth. There woro thirty
seven of them and many of thosu had
Hons and brothors and kindred of tho
same name, and so it was Mc someth
ing very where. If a man's namo be
gins ?with Mc in that region It is a
guarantee of good stock. It la line
farming region and these pooplo are
almost all farmors. 1 nevor aaw a liner
corn and cotton in upper Georgia. Tho
women, matrona and maidens were all
well and neatly dressed and were good
looking, good sizo and healthy. They
could handlo P>elr aklrts as gracefully
as a city lady ,nd aa my old friend Hill
Ltatnsey used to say. " Major, these wo
men aro weil coupled and stand up
square on their pastor joints." Kalney
had doalt In horses for fifty years and
talked horse-talk about women and
everything else. Ho was a genuine
David Harem. 1 have moat pleasing
recollections of Longpond and its poo

My next call .,Tod to Hagan-Claxton,

. but whoso pooplo work In harmony and
r- Tiave a very fino high school an! school
building called tho Hagan-Claxton in
stitute, that Is just midway between
thorn and is sustained by both. Tho
teachers convention was In session
there?about a hundred toachors from
Tattnall and other counties?and I say
truthfully I never looked upon a more
thoughful, intelligent and earnest body
of teachers, both mon and women. By
request I mado sumo fatherly remarks
to them and then had to stand up and
receive a hearty handshake from every
ono. That night I gavo my lecturo
Dehlnd tho Scenea," In tho boautlful
large hall where 460 good people from
the twin towns and adjacent country
had gathered. How easy it is for a
leoturer or preacher to please and
magnetize a large audience when thoy
aro packed closo together. The stand
ard of teaching Is rising highor In this
region. Tho county school commission
ers aro good scholars, graduatoa of our
colleges, and thoy aro exacting in tholr
examinations. Nlnotoon applicants
woro rejected recently In ono county.
Thla Is an Interesting region and farm
ing la easy and prosperous. Tho long
staple cotton Is grown here. I did not
know until now that tho bloom was
flrst yollow?a bright canary?and then
turned rod. Tho soed aro black and
are rolled out instead of being ginned
out. It is hardor to pick this cotton
from the bolls and seventy-live pounds
la a good day'a work. It Is now 20
cents a pound. Sugar cane abounds
here and Is tho most luxuriant crop I
f know of. Hut it is the turpontlno and
lumber business that scatters money so
freely in all this region. I visited tho
Perkins mills. They aro up to date

lie r? pit sects not, the China of tradi

elements, English and American,
which are gaining a foothold there.
His appointment was a recognition ol
those interests He ia ono of tho most
cosmopolitan of men. Ho waa the lirat
Chiueao to take a full legal course in
England and be admitted as a barribtur
there. He could put out hla shingle in
London tomorrow and practice law
with sueuees. His command of the
English languugu is excellent and ho
is almoat as familiar with western in
stitution.- as any native of thu uuw
world. It is said that Wu owes his ap
pointment and promotion, while stand
ing for thu progressive element in
Chineao all'aira, to tbe favor of Li Huug
Chang, who.early diacoverud Wu's ab
li i ties and decldud to bring him to tho
front. Wu la a genuine Chinese and
not a Manchu, whlcn makes hla riao In
politics all the more notable. Ho haa
no long Uno of mandarin ancestora, but
whut was hotter, a Chinese family of
aufholent means and intelligence to
send him to I'lurope, for an education.
How successful Minister Wu would

not bo foretold. It is feared that his
western education and associations
would iniike him porsona non grata to
the stolid Chinese element, but that
this element will have much to bay in
the reorganization of Chinese affairs
may bo an opon question. Tho next
diltlculty to como would be the rivalry

unlikely that Russia would look with

Girls In China aro accountod as
"household shadows and household
sorrows." Formerly they wuredrown
ud like blind klttona at birth, but che.
missionaries are responsible for thu
doubtful good uf proaurviug thuir Uvea
in latur yeara. Thu Christianized Chi
naman does uut object to a daughter,
although his accuptancu of tho disap
pointment is In tho nature uf a punance.
Tho first high caato Chinese child born
in Washington was that of tho Chineao
minister who was stationed there dur
ing I 'resilient (1 ar Held'.-' ad m i n Istra
tio.i. The Chineao like women doc
tors, and tho utlicial ungaged tho ser
vices uf Dr. Susan 1? Fdsun, who intro
duced to America tho liret high caste
Chinese baby within its limits. The
anxious minister, dressed in his best
rubes uf ulllco, awaited nows of thu
I event in hia private suite in thu lega
tion palace, and as Dr. Fdson approauh
ud met hur half way. llu scanned he
face a moment anxiously, then held
this laconic dialogue with himself:
"Hoy? No. Girl? Yes."
NaMvo Chinamen look down on their
wives and In ovory way they can shuw
their eon tempt fur them, believing that
a man should do this in order tu main
tain his ow n supremacy . Some uf their
popular sayings convey this idua :
"A man should listen to his wlfu,
but ho must not believo her.'1
"A woman's mind ia quicksilver;
her heart la wax."
"Men, when thoy meet, listen to
each other. Girls, when thoy come
toguthur, look at oauh other."
"Women luuk down tu bu looked at."
Tho lovemaking In China la of the
most intricate and matter-of-fact kind.
The contracting parties arc betrothed
in childhood, often In their infancy,
and sometimes bufuru either was horn.
A rich merchant saya to his friend
when both aro married :
"You havo a daughter, I havu a aon?
we will then marry thum, or if I havu
thu misfortune to havu a daughter shu
shall marry your son. Is that a con
tract ?"
Tho betrothal of two imaginary
children follows with great ceremony,
and as tho prediction is usually veri
fied tho children are brought up for
each other, and their sucoud betrothal
is made another occasion uf groat
feasting, and an astrulugur Is consulted
to read the horoscope of thu pair and
set tho marriage day. One of the
strictly forbidden rites is marriage to
a foreigner.
The dying request uf a Chineao wife
tu her lord often takes thla form :
"When 1 am hurled you must come
often tu my grave tu burn incense, and
you must not harm any white butterfly
or lizard, for I may profor to come
back to you in those shapes when I am
tirod of lying In my grave."
It would seem as if all tho auporatl
tiona of the rest of tho world
had boeu banished to China,
whoso kingdom thoy hold (or
their own. A Chinaman is afraid
to look over his shoulder, for he knows
ho will see a ghost?that he never did
see ono has no weight with hlra, and
ho foels that all Is right at homo, but
If his neighbor sneezos and ho does
not ho believes himself neglected and
becomes morbidly jealous. CJuito like
other women, tho Chinese wifu has
hor littlu plans and schemes and ad
vises her husband to wear a wet hand
kerchief in his hat to Keep his shaven
poll from sunstroke. When the towel
cools ho naturally sneezos, and whon
he goes homo commends his wife for
thinking of him during his absence.
There is little daubt that rather than
soo tbelr women fall Into tho civilizing
power of foreign "nations the Chinese
would not hesitate to slay thorn with
the sword. And in view of a future
similar to tho past uf Chinoso women
such a fate need not bo deplored ; it
would be ono of the tragodios whero

A Iteiuarkable Forecast Twenty Years
Ak<> of Current It. v tints In China.]
New York Sun.
There was prohahly no European
more qualitlod to express au opinion
ol the Chinese that) Col. Cordon more
commonly called Chinese Cordon,
whoao strange career closed at Khar
toum in January, 1885. His military
abBOclatiou with thorn during tho two
yoars, from 18<i.'i to 1805, when ho com
manded the Kvor Victorioua Army, as
It waa styled, gave him a uulquo ex
perience of tho Chluoso and an In
bight into their somewhat complex
character.
With tho crudest of material and in
spite of tho strougostoppoaltiou, an op
pualtlou that would have huon fatal hat
for tho royal aupport ho received
throughout hla ahort term of aorvico
under tho Kuiporor of China from Id
Hung Chang, ho organized a force that
under Kuropoan othcora of nearly ovory
nationality, including aomo Americana,
aupproaaod tho Taoplng rohellion then
threatening tho exlatooeo of China and
the dynasty. Tho oplnlous ho oxpreas
ed, therefore, have at tho present mo
.ut exceptional valuo.
One which he gave confidentially to
a frlond In 1880 when ho waa juat on
tho point of leaving for India, whore
ho had accepted tho post of aocrotary
to tho viceroy, Lord Klpon, la juat now
of particular iutureat. Speaking of tho
Taoping roholllou and of tho courago
I of tho Chluuao troopa, ho denied that
thoy were cowards in one sonso. Uo
held that thoy did not fear death,
though ho had aeon them stand up
hravoly sometimes and thon lloo like
aheop afterward. Hut what Kuropoans
would have to cousidor was, ho said,
tho awful consequences of a general
movement, when least oxpectod, in tho
vast Inert mass of hundred of millions
of men to overwhelm tho forelyu dovlls
whom thoy hate like polBon.
Tho danger of such un outburst, Cor
don said, became greater ovory year
on account of tho way tho Chlnoso
wore bolng continually harassed by the
Kuropoan states with demands for
I compensations, in somo cases just, In
others qulto frivolous. When thoy saw
that their only means of meeting the
aggressions was to organizo an army
with Improved weapons, then thoy
would boy guns and nllja and ship
ami, with tho aid of Kuropoans, whu
would always be found ready to drill
and organize thorn, they woutd create
a formidable army.
Of ono thing Gordon felt quite sure.
Tho days when Kuropoans could march
up to Chinese troopa in position, or in
dofonco of a position, and aweep thorn
away llko llioa, would soon bj over.
There would be no more military
promenades by a fow hundred Hrltlsh
and French troops through tho coun
try, driving thousands of Chineso bo
foro thorn.
Spoaking of tho authorities, Gordon
said a mandarin was never to bo trust
cd, and ho was only too clad win n he
loft their sorvlce. Tho English, in hla
opinion, made tho mistake of thinking
thoy wore welcome wherever thoy
went, but In fifteen or twonty years
thoy would lind proof to tho contrary.
With all their superstitions, their vices
and tholr ignorance, tin Chinese wore,
in Cordon's estimation far too good to
he ruled by tho claaa that governed
thorn. The governments of Franco,
KuSbla and England, ho emphatically
declarod, had for tho forty years be
fore tho time ho apoko treated the
Chinoao moat scandalously.
Current ovonta aro proving how ac
curatoly Chinoao Gordon judged tho
situation, and tho rogrot la that cur
tain dofecta of h'a character and tom
pormont ahould have caused him to
abandon a position in which ho could
have rondored great aervlco to China
and civilization. In the light of what

There is something uhout the air of this

Independently, a <irl may try to wrap up
her womanly instincts beneath a cloak of

nine times in ten she will marry the man
she cares for. The vast majority of our
youiiK women seek no greater blessing
than to be well-loved wives of strontf
beatted men ; and mothers of healthy,
happy children.
The natural burdens of wifehood and
motherhood have been amazingly lightened
in the last thirty years. Advanced science
has found a way to overcome the physical
weakness of women and make them strong
and capable of performing their wifely and
motherly duties.

At the present day there is no need for
any woman ill this country to be weighed
down and overburdened' with physical
weakness or disease, A woman suffering
from any delicate ailment peculiar to her
sex, no matter what the circumstances may
be, may obtain such eminent professional
advice and assistance as a queen could
hardly command a generation ago. She
can have all the advantages of that splendid
American Institution, the World's Dispen

witii its staff of nearly twenty eminent
specialists in the different branches of
Uledical practice. At their head as chief
consulting physician is Dr. K. V. Pierce,
one of the most widely experienced phy

by mail and giving a careful statement of
her case will receive sound professional
Hdviee and suggestion for home -treatment
free of charge.
It is impossible to estimate the immense
amount of suffering that weak and ailing
women have been saved by Dr. Pierce's
Suggestions for home-treatment and the
use of bis matchless prescriptions, His
"Favorite Prescription " has done more to
promote the health and strength of women
of out land than all other remedies com

world as the one greatest supportive tonic

Mrs. lletsey M. White, of StOlieycreek, Warren

The Moil Who St?h- The Cuban Postal
Funds.
Atlanta Journal.
The administration scorns to be
alarmed at the extent to which it hus
carried ItselTorts to delay the full rev
olution of the rascality of its trusted
agents, Uathbono and Nooly, In Cuba.
It is now making a great pretense of
intention to go promptly to the bottom
uf the Cuban postal frauds and tbo
public is ussured that Uathbono as
woll as Noeiy will be tried soon. This
is a case, however, whore seeing is be
lieving. Wo doubt the sincerity of
the profession that the fuli facts of the
Cuban postal i0 jbories will bo brought
out soon.
The henchmen of the administra
tion have all along treated Uathbono
and Nooly as trivial incidents and havo
attempted to brush asido the idea that
the administration could bo held in
any sense responsible for thorn. They
now realize, that tho question of the
responsibility of tho administration
for these culprits cannot be so easily
disposed of.
Doth Uathbono and Neely wore ap
pointed to tho practical control of
postal alfalrs In Cuba not because of
any titness for that service but as a re
ward for their campaign work for tho
Uepublican party. Ono of Nooly's
strongest indorsors urged his appoint
ment became ho was " up against it
financially." On this ground his ap
pointment to handlo tho funds of tho
Cuban pOBtpotllco department was
urged.
Uathbono was rewarded for his ac
tive efforts as a U '.publican striker.
Tho report of Mr. Brlstow, who has
looked into tbo otlicial record of these
two men, shows that Nuely stole some
thing like $100,000 and that Uathbono
is likewho a defaulter. It was clearly
Impossible for Nooly to carry on his
systematic, robbery of tho govornmont
without Uathbono's knowledge It
appears that Utthhonoand Nooly were
confederates in a big schemo to plun
der tho Cuban postolIice|department,
but It remains to he soon what will be
dono with them and how soon they
will be trlod.
The- prosecution of thrso two Itv
Imbllcan otlicialB who wore sent to
Juba to teach the benightod people of
that Island tho science of honest anil
capable government will probably
bring out further information as to tho
way In which our government of (Juba
hat been conducted, and it is embar
rassing to have such Inqulrlos mado
during a campaign In which tho ad
ministration is already buing tried on
a numbor of counts.

During tho week ending 8 ft. in., July
30th tiio temperature averaged nearly
normal. The lirst partol Die week waa
hotter than usual, tho latter purl
slightly cooler, with a weekly range
hutweon a umxliuuin of 101 at llates
hurg, and a minimum of US at Croon
vlllo.
Kaiu fell aomowhero in the State ou
overy day of the week, and few locali
ties out had beuelicial amounts. The
State average was 1 .">() Inohes, and tho
local amounts ranged from merely
sprinkles to between four and live
inches, the. latter in portions of Wor
ahaw and Oraugeburg counties. Tho
severe drought has not been thorough
ly relieved in the southeastern coun
ties and over small areas elsewhere.
Dumaging iiail term uecurred in
Marion and Cherokee counties ; high
winds blew dowu corn and fruit trees
In a number of counties.
Karin work made favorable grogrosa,
aud crops are nearly all laid by in fair
ly good condition, with the crop pros
pects brighter and more encouraging
than during the past two moutha.
Old corn was too nearly matured to
bo much benefited by tho week's rains,
excepts In snots, and will not make a
full crop. Young corn is quite promis
ing.
Over a large portion of tho State,
with numerous exceptions, however, in
the eastern countiea, cotton improved
materially and now looks promising,
but comparatively fow sections report
the crop heavily fruited. Most of tho
reports indicate that the plants are un
dersized and late, but fruiting normally
and some that they are not fruiting as
they should at this season. There are a
few complaints of rust and premature
opening, more of sheddlug, and some of
grassy fields, although cotton Is gener
ally laid by clean. In tho westorn coun
ties cultivation continues. In places
cotton ia blooming to the top. Sea
island cotton is still Buffering from
blight and ruat.
Tobacco ia ripening nlcoly, with
cutting and curing making favorable
progress, and nearing completion in
sc-ctiona. Tho yield aud prices are in
tho main satisfactory.
Rice is doiug nicely, und so far ia a
lino crop in the principal rice growing
regions, but upland rice is poor.
Haying continues in tue Charleston
district, where a heavy first cutting
baa been housed In excellentcmdition,
but later cutting promises poorly. Pas
tures are lino in the central and west
ern counties. Peaches are, dropping,
many aro wormy, and some rot as they
ripen. Crap'js aro healthy and plenti
ful in Dickons and Ojonee counties :
elaowhero thero is much rotting. Cane,
sweot potatoes, and gardens failed, but
will be revived by the rains. In gen
eral, minor crops aro promising.

EXPERIENCE WITH SHEEP.
Thei'O is no profit hi 8hct>p raising
in York county?at least, not at pres
ent. Any man who tries it invites his
financial ruin. This is the lesson that
has been taught by the intelligent ex
periment of Mr. I?. I). Springs, in
Tort Mill township. A few months
ago Mr. Springs had nearly 200 sheep.
Now he has less than a hundred. It
is all on account of the dogs. They
came fron) tho country around for a
distance of 10 or 12 miles, sometimes
killing as many as a half dOKOU sheep
in a day and carrying oil* lambs until
it was impossible to keep track of the
number that has been lost.
The convict guards on the place
have killed 17 dogs with their lilies
during the pasl few months; hut this
slaughter sccins to have been in vain.
The supply of dogs has as yet shown
no signs of diminution, and notwith
standing the utmost vigilance of the
guards, there are still dogs which can
kill sheep. Mr. Springs has about
decided to give it. up. His lloek of
sheep is for sale. He will continue to
raise a few breeders; but so far as
keeping up the light with all the dugs
of the country is concerned, lie heg? to
be excused. 1 o;7./?.'ic/"?n r
For Infants and Children,
The Kind You Have Always Bought
Curtniii physiologists arc being at
tracted by the idea thai growth de
pends largely upon diet and exercise.
A French writer, M. A. Pores, calls
attention to the experiments of Dr.
Springer, who with a simple decoction
of cereals, has so influenced the rate
of growth of animals and children that
be can make giants of them when
their organization is favorable. His
recorded thnl the. celebrated llishop
liorkclcy, probably through suitable
food, deliberately caused an orphan
boy to grow to a height of eight feet
two inches at sixteen. Moist foods
and such drinks as tea and milk tend
to increase of stature, while dry ami
spiceil foods, and especially alcohol,
lend to retard growth. This explains
why the people of Northern Europe
are so much taller than those of the
south. Too great size, however, does
not appear to bC desirable, as Ibis is
likely to bring diminished activity, in
creased liability to disease, and earlv
death.

A novel idea for sportsmen seems to
