Under this head, Consul General

that deserves the careful thought of
every manufacturer and citizen of the
United States.
Consul Mason takes the position
that the search for foreign markets by
the nations of the world may be Justly
said to have developed in recent tlmos
Into an exact, specialized science. In
which not only individual exporters
and associations, but expert govern
ment commissions, elaborately organ

play, with constantly increasing effi
ciency, their co-ordinate roles.
From a notoriously backward position.
)he result of long and implicit reliance
upon home markets, the United States
has now reached a position from
which the usefulness of export asso
ciations and bureaus of information
is ganerally recognized, although the
complaint is sometimes heard that

RICHMOND
CfONTT
DEMOCRACY.
For a number of year* and especially
in the rerent past the Demrocacy of
Richmond county has beeu recognized
a* one Of the must zealous in the entire
state. When the state wanted and need
ed- ’big Democratic majorities, the
chairman of the state Democratic com
mittee called upon Richmond, The
Democratic party In Richmond county
bus been atnl will be the great control
ling political force of this county for
all time to come. It has wiped out
Populism not only In this county, but
In this district and through Its aid ma
terially helped to wcakiyi Populism in
the state.
But the Democratic party owes a du
ty to its own members and to the party
Itself to the county, If it Into maintain
Its dignity and to continue to exact
the saute loyal support ffoni the Indi
vidual members of the party.
Why is it that the Richmond party
should be called upon to support can
didates who ore unwilling to risk their
claims or get their credentials from the
party authority? This is a pertinent
question in view of the hostility of cer
tain announced candidates for local of
fices, to the inauguration of u system
of Democratic primaries. If these can
didates are unwilling to submit their
claims to office to a Democratic pri
mary, will they get a Democratic nom-

POINTED PARAORAPHZ.
Our 11-Inch gun* arc certainly pteoe
m« kern.
When a man ta a bore he is always
the last to disc-over it.
As scion as the pour Icarber begins
lo scrape arqualntnnrea he cuts them.
A tailor says that ready-made ctoth-
Ing will eure a man of having fits.
The average man earns much less
than his wife thinks him capable of
earning.
Some people have weak eyes simply
tcecause they are located In a weak
place.
The man who attempts to (latter you
Is either a fool or thinks you are one.
A woman admires one man for the
qualities he has ami loves another
for those he hasn't.
Consciaßca may tell a man that he
Is doing wrong, but fortunately It does
not Inform his neighbors.
Married men as a rule do not lie
from choice, hut their wives will per
sist In asking such fool questions.
A father always worries for fear
that his daughter will marry the
wrong man. hut a mother worries for
fear she won't be able to catch oq at
all.

IRONICAL IPS.
If you would succeed tn life, learn
to know what you can't do.
If paying one's debts Is virtue, very
few men are strictly virtuous.
If volunteers were culled for to pay
the bill war would never be deelared.
If marriage is a mistake, tt is at
least one a man doesn't make every
day. ’
If a man is hts own worst enemy he
has a natural born fool to take care
° f if a man rises tn the world at the
end of a rope he is sure of an early
downfall.
If handsome ts as handsome does
some good-looking girls are anything
but handsome.
If people didn't have to work they
would have more time to get tired of
doing nothing.
If it were literally true that whisky
fills our Jails lots of men would break
into them.
If you carry your name on the hearts
of your friends it will be more lasting
than if carved on a marble slab.

therein Among the many plac>a of in
terest are the treasury building, the
patent office, building of the Interior, f
dead letter office, the new post office. |
which ta. next, to the capital, Ihe targ- -
est building tn Washington, the Cork- -
ran art gallety, the soldiers home, j
buildings of the state, war and navy j
department and the navy yard I had ,
forgotten the Hmlthsonian Institution, '
the white house and the national mu- j
seum. which are among the moat In- '
tcrestIng. Well, after my arrival in |
Washington, which was about half past
nine o'clock In the evening, I engaged |
my room at a hotel, and proceeded to j
do the city as much as I could that j
night. 1 thought there must be some- ]
thing unusual going on, as I heard mu
sic, and there were crowds out on the |
streets; but as l walked down Penn- j
aylvanta avenue, I could see nothing j
unusual going on. The young ladles
and young men were in evening dress, j
and seemed to be either going to or re- 1
turning from some place of amusement,
but of course f could not tell, for I ,
was a stranger and with no companion.
When we think that far away In our I
own home there are dear friends with !
whom w e associate and spend pleasant !
evenings with, we are to some extent j
comforted, hut we would like to have
our friends with us just then. Washing- i
ton Is a gay place. The girls dress very ;
stylishly, nnd make a very fine appenr
ance, hut there are very few pretty ;
faces. You do not blame me for seeking
out a pretty face among the many
young ladles there, do you? I am neatly
twenty-one and a young man, and I
think excusable for showing a weak
ness for the opposite sox. Trade seems
to Vie very brisk In Washington; all
the stores appenr to tie doing a big
business, and there are some immense
stores tn the elty. I am paskxnatciy
fond of looking In store windows, and
this I did to my heart’s content. I
wanted a great many things that I
had never thought of before and (that
I didn't get). But the greatest of alt
wonders in this great city is the “ten
cent store.” In this store you can buy
most everything you want for ten cents.
Fine china, imitation but glass. Jewel
ry, domestic articles anti what not for
small sum of a dime. I bought several
things that I didn't need so as to show
to the people In Augusta, and confirm
my story of the ‘‘ten cent store.” rt Is
said that many married people who set
up housekeeping go to this store and
spend many dimes fol' china and, in |
fact, anything that gob? to complete a I
cozy little ho.me, with the exception f

old Alexasrdrt*. saw the famous "CTirist
Oburob” where tlecrge Wastrinxt'in
had * pew and aaverni .fiber historic
liuilulngs w hnae hlalayy I rpnmfi re
member. Alexandria la truly an aßiient
elty. There are sewers on the sides of
itfe streets and the Cobble stones are
extremely uneven and rough. The hous
.-s are very old fashioned and most of
them in the last stages of decay. Yet
there are many bright spots In Ihla old
city and some wry elegant home* with
beautiful grounds around them. I spent
a night and a part of a day on Alexan
dria Heights at a comfortable home
where there was n delightful breeae.
and this marie my short visit to Alex
andria very pleasant. Then after leav
ing Alexandria, I wont to Garfield, a
little country site about ten mites from
Washington. Here my trappiest mo
ments were spent. There are a few
splendid old country mansions In Gar
field and where you receive true old
Virginia hospitality. The country all
around shows evidence of prosperity,
and the farmer* are doing well, not
withstanding the low price of wheat
and oats.
My return trip home was very inter
esting. I saw more pretty girls on the
train than l saw the whole tlrfle I was
tn Washington: and at Culpepper,
where the train stopped a few minutes,
there were just lots of pretty gtrts. I
would like to live In a little place like
Culpepper, where the people oil go to
the station in the evenings to see the
train go by; the girls all dressed so
prettily and the boys are In their best
also. This is a popular summer resort
for Washingtonians. But. after all.
there Is no place like Augusta. I never
saw a prettier street than Greene street
in Washington. Augusta is a beautiful
city anyway, and 1 don't think we ap
preciate tt enough. And then Augusta
is growing rapidly, too. I talked up our
city quite a good deal, and I believe I
could bring a good many prospectors
down here. If I had nothing else to do.
There is one thing, though, that stran
gers complain of about Augusta, and
that is, the lack of hospitality. The so
cial line is too greatly.drawn, and many
people live in comparative isolation
right among us. Do let us disprove this
opinion, and treat those who have cast
their tot with us with true kindness.
"There is no sect tn heaven." and we
must know that we all have equal
chances of getting to that celestial city.
What excuse shall we render to our
Maker for drawing the social Hnc
against our neighbor?
Let us work together for Augusta's
interest and make it the most attrac
tive city in the South. With its natu
ral advantages and our own assistance
wild persistent effort, she may one day
become not only the most beautiful
city, but the most progressive in all
Southland. Yours fraternally.
