The Sa vannah Morning News asks "How can they ix rendered profitable? An answer 10 the query may be had by looking to the village of .Mullins', in Marion county, South Carolina. Mullins is in what is called the l'< e Dee section of the stab. Ten or twelve years ago it knew nothing of any staple product except turpentine, and a little cotton. Five years ago the ■turpentine had all disappeared, because th< pines had ail been worked up, and there w. • nothing left but cotton. About that tn i i . nterprising owner of some of the old pirn land concluded that he would see wba could be done with tobacco on such land. Ills success was very fair. Four y< ars ago sevi ral other land owners mid farmers also planted small tobacco crops, byway of experiment more tnan any thing else. Arid a few weeks ago, about the middle of September, consider ably more than 1,000,000 pounds of tobacco had been sold at Mullins at prices ranging from to 25 cents a pound, bringing the farmers of the neighborhood more than $76,000 in cash for a crop of which they knew practically nothing five years before. Two large warehouses have been estab lished in the little village, and the tobacco crop of next year will probably be twice <ix large as that of the current year. On one acre of tobacco near Mullins a farmer, iwho sold his crop at an average of a little more than 8 cents a pound, made more than he would have made on three bales of cotton. What has been accomplished in this lit tle South Carolina village could probably ibe duplicated, or bettered, in any section In the turpentine belt of Georgia. It seems to be accepted that about any fair pine land can be made fair tobacco land; and land that will not grow cotton or corn profitably will produce a fine crop of to bacco with proper care. It would certain ly be worth the time of Georgia farmers nnd pine land owners to look carefully Into the matter of tobacco culture. There Is a ready-made market for the product, and hands who know all about tobacco planting and curing can be hired for rea sonable wages. No good reason appears, therefore, why Georgia also should not be come a tobacco producing state on a large scale. Farmers in the turpentine belt might begin on a small scale at first, and Increase their acreage as they become mon; familiar with the cultivation of the weed. It seems to beat cotton as a money crop. AN GI >)- FI EN C H WAR— -1: Leeds no eye of tho prophet to fore catt U.e end o r a Franco Engine war, says the Post, of Cincinnati. The British navy is the most powerful navy in the world. French fleets will be annihilated. Manilla ami Santiago will be repeated. There is no evidence (speaking, be it understood, of men and not of martial utilities) that the English "warrior of the main" has dete riorated since the days of Trafalgar. Neither in there any evidence that the Gallic "recruit of Neptune" can fight any better today than he did under Villeneuve, t on October 21, 1805, when Nelson captured nineteen out of thirty-four French men-of war, The oracles of old said that England would ever 'be protected by her "Walls of wood. A modification of the oracular ut terance came, however—with that memora ble encounter of the Monitor and Merrimac in Hampton Roads. Now it is her “walls of steel.” While the French army is, numerically, • vastly superior to the British force, there Is very little chance that Jacques Bon hommie will ever effect a landing on the soil of Albion. Any attempt to do so will culminate in a naval engagement, and the “man behind the gun” will once more pass Into history. Apart from speculation as to probable results, a war between those two great peoples would be an unspeakable calamity. It would be a reproach to modern civiliza tion. It would be a lamentable and tragic ending to that century whose dawn wlt messtnl their deadly embrace. Verily, the •lay of arbitration seems far off. The wool growers of the West desire a union with those of the South to secure a higher tariff on all imported wools. Their interests clash with those of the Eastern manufacturers, who want cheap wools. This is merely another instance of the fal laciousness of the theory of protection. ITotectlon of any one industry is generally found to i be at the expense of others, and of the general public ns well. The report of the Wainwright board on the soa fight at Santiago tells the exact minute when each Spanish ship c;mie out of the harbor of Santiago and charts the precise course which each of the ships en ftaged pursued. But many things indicate that the cheers which permeated the United States. July 4, as a result of the victory, will in no way be affected by the report. ‘You have not forgotten the cold mes sage of (December last, opposing Cuban in tervention," said ex-Senator David B. Hill, in his first speech in the New York gubernatorial campaign. Senator Hill is wrong. The people have forgotten that and are remembering the Maine. Blanco had a little scheme to establish an independent Spanish-American republic in Cuba, in order to keep the Americans from getting that island.

SOME REMARKABLE WOUIDS Dependents of the Men Who Died on the Maine Will Be Well Cared for in Future. f By Associated Pre®. Chocago, Oct. 2ft.—Commissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans, who is in the city stopping at the Great Northern Hotel, slates that, up to September 30th, the war wtth Spain had caused the loss of the lives of 2,906 American soldiers. He fur ther declared that the statist!® of his of fice show that the per centage of deaths in camps from disease .luring the last sum, mer was much less than during the civil war. Commissioner Evans being asked for further particulars, spoke as follow’s: During the rebellion 40,000, men were killed in battle and 360,000 perished in the camps and prisons. From official figures which I have recently completed, covering a period from May 1 to September 30, 1 find that the total number of dc-aths as a result of the war with Spain, was 2,906. Df this number were officers. At San tiago the lose of life was 22 officers and 222 men. This is an average of one officer to every ten men. At Cardenas one •offi cer was killed. Since the battles on Cuban soil sixty-one men have died of wounds received while in service. The total number of American soldiers that have died :n cartips from disease are eighty officers and 2,520 privates, or an aggregate of 2,600. This is remarkable in view of the terrible climatic disadvantages and it fully verifies the soldier’s adage that disease kills more men than bullets. There have been six hundred claims for pensions filed to date as a result of the war. In the Cuban campaign the loss of so many officers is accounted for by the fact that Spanish sharpshooters hid in tbe trees and dense foliage, used smokeless powder and picked off the officers with ease. Some of the wounds reeMved by officers were re markable. I recall one-case in particular, that of Captain Knox, of the First Cav alry. The captain was shot in the back, ths ball penetrating his kidney, lung and livlr and broke two of his ribs. He is alive today and the president has promoted him.” Commissioner Evans says that the loss of life resulting from the destruction of the Maine in Havana harbor will be placed on the same t’asis as mortality in battle. He holds that the general law providing for indemnity to sailors and soldiers in the federal service will apply to the explosion at Havana. “Thus far only fifty-five claims have been presented from relatives of the boys who went down with the Maine,” said the commissioner. Everyone of them will be pushed through. It is no more than right that the dependents of the men who went to watery graves in Havana bay should be provided for by the United States govern ment.” Bucklin’s Armen salve The best salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and posi tively cures piles or no pay required.

How Five Ner.atmper Men Found Something' to But. There were five of us, all newspaper men and all very dirty, very brown, very disreputable looking anti more than very hungry. Wo were p.vl.eJ into a carriage drawn by a couple of Porto Rico frames for horses and were cn route from Puerto Ponce to tbe city itself, tbe hour 10 a. in. and the date July 27, on which day the principal city in the island fell into the hands of the avuncular Samuel. There was a good bit of excitement in the four miles of drive over the well kqpt road fringed with canefields, coeoanut palms, sugar mills, blue and white houses and nourishing shrubs. Native Potto Ricans were either wild with delight at being rid of the Spanish soldiers or simulated joy to a marvel. They ran (not fast, as it wasn’t necessary with that team) beside the car riage, shouting “ Vivan Americanos!” and now and again some particularly dirty specimen would gain a perilous foothold on the crazystep of th*' ra iushackle vehicle and insist on shaking hands all around. Ho would have kissed us, Spanish fashion, if we had shown any willingv.-s that way. Some of the women did, but that sarfbther story. We w'ero in search of breakfast. It is not necessary fit grow prolix over what that would mean to us. Sulliee it, wo would rather have found a good meal than a big nugget. Inquiry elicited the fact that Ponce had two cases of note—that of the Hotel Inglatcrru and that of the Hotel Francois. The latter was the nearest and, for that reason, chosen. The city had been in the possession of American troops less than half an hour, so we were t he first of the army of occupa tion to grace the quiet preempts of the Uafe Francois. How cool it was, with its fountains and marbles, how bright with its ponciana tree hi bloom, its huge flow ery shrubs and its bright plumage parra keets, how comical its frescoes of Daphnes, Chloes, Phyllises and Strephons, yet how dainty withal, for the table r ipery was sjMjtless, the glass, china and (alleged) sil ver shining with cleanliness and the ca rafes glistening with (ye gods, could it be possible?) real ice! Madam, the mistress, a veritable poly glot, backed by three buxom maids jab bered away at us as we throw aside re volvers and fieldglasses and seated our selves at a rourd table near the fountain, in a Franco-Hispn.m Anglo dialect out of which we gathered that if we would not kill the women and burn the hotel the re sources of tbe case were at our disposal. We promised that death and destruction should follow only in case the breakfast did not appear speedily and bountifully. It did. What a breakfast! Its memory will abide While those five palates preserve their functions and recollection holds its seat. Cold bouillon, fresh fish, a Spanish omelet (huge in proportions, exquisite in accessories), fruit of the freshest and most succulent, coffee* like amber and cigars that had been made In Havana before the declaration of war. Instead of harming that hostess or any of her household, after eating that break fast we would have attacked with gusto any one who failed to treat her as the queen of providers and dispensers. We called for the bill, and then came chaos. “What! You will pay?” almost scream ed madam. As evidence of honestinten tion each man produced his canvas sack | and emptied its store of American half > eagles and English sovereigns on the table in frent of her. * Henri, Henri!” yelled the excited wo man. “Come here, my heart. Come : quickly and behold these men, these an gels. They will pay. They do not com plain. They compliment me on my cook ing. Sancta Maria, it is too much!” and the good woman threw herself into the arms of her fat and hitherto invisible hus band as he appeared in the doorway, while down her red cheeks streamed tears of veritabledelight. BH POWDER Absolutely Pure There* isn't any moral to this morning glimpse of Pence at the surrender unless it be found in the comment madam’s sur prise creat*-d upon the probable methods and manners of tbe Spanish officers who had hitherto bewn her principal patrons.— Minneapolis Times. ( anmla's Cornndum Landa. Explorations i>eing carried on by Pro fessor Miller in eastern Ontario have shown that the corundum belt is consid erably wider and longer than appeared from the explorations of last year. Two areas have la-vn carefully examined this year, a small one in the townships of Bury and Methuan in the county of Peterboro, and another extending from HalibUrton across Hastings into the county of Ren frew. Tiie government has decided to bring tin* whole belt under the provisions of the regulations adopted in July last for the development of corundum lands, and accordingly the mineral rights on consld cra. le nddi: i jnal rrivts of land have been withdrawn . in «;.»!< and placed under the provisions of the.- e regulations.—Toronto Globe.

SjC|.sr-3' /■ ' n te Story Teller. in eastern countries, j r pi aC e of our story writers, they have professional story tellers. It is their art to interest their listeners with tales of love, and marvelous adventures, and hair-breadth escapes, and magic cures. There’s a story of a wonder ful medicine that has made thousands of cures that seemed almost magical, which every woman should read or hear. To have heard it or to read ft, may save a wo man her own life or that of her husband. The medicine is the discovery of Dr. R. V Pierce, an eminent and skillful spe cialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. It is known as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and rich, the nerves steady, the brain clear and the body strong. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consump tion and diseases of the air-passages. It cures nervous diseases and is the best med icine for overworked men and women. A ■woman may save her husband’s life by keeping a bottle in the house, and getting him to resort to it when he feels out-of sorts. All men are heedless about their health. Medicines stores sell it. Doctor Pierce’s reputation is world-wide, and his fellow townsmen, of Buffalo, N. Y., think so highly of him that they made him their representative in Congress, but his great love for his profession caused him to resign that honorable position that he might de vote the remainder of his life to the relief and cure of the sick.

There is a Spanish dish called olla po drida—“a little of everything”—which is an absolute necessity of life to every Span iard used to even comparative luxury of diet. The method of preparing Kentucky burgoo has been frequently described. Any one who has read about it will in stantly recognize the existence of the same i culinary theory in the preparation of olla i podrida. which is described as follows by ■ the cook who made it for Admiral Cer vera at Annapolis: “A half quart of chick peas previously soaked in water for a few hours, a couple of carrots, some chirizos (Spanish red sausages), long pepper, a clove or two of garlic, an onion, a bunch of parsley, a ( dozen heads es lettuce, a colewort or two, | tomatoes, a slice of gourd and any other ; old vegetable. These to be cut up and put into stock pot with a half dozen pounds or so of brisket of beef, the knuckle end of a leg of mutton, half a pound of smoked streaky bacon, a few slices of ham and lastly a fowl. These to be well cov ered with water and the liquid carefully skimmed, and. after it has boiled, allowed to simmer for the’ short space of six hours. ” —Cincinnati Enquirer. Elections In Guatemala.
