Wm GRAVES
Hpident Mckinlev Writes to
governors as to Their
Location.
Hfikbinta. r )f*r. 31. —F’resident McKinley,
■pt appear*, has begun preparations for a
Bnractical application of the sentiments ex-
Br- in his now famous address before
HKhe Georgia legislature during his recent
Hprieit to Atlanta.
A request Is said to have been sent to
■ the governors 0 { the various states asking
Hkhem to inform the war records office of
location of the various cemeteries in
wtjteh Confederate soldiers are buried.
Tbt* is the first step in the development of
# t»be Idea of placing the Confederate graves
P tinder the care of the national govern
r menu
A communication seeking to ascertain
IL the location of the Confederate cemeteries
!in Georgia has been received by Assistant
[ Adjutant Obear. The request comes from
I General Marcus J. Wright, agent of the’
wa» eeords office.
| The request has not yet been placed in
the hands of Governor Candler, but when
[ presented to him it will be acted upon
I at an early date and the department will
■be given information concerning the
grave of every Confederate soldier who is
l \buried in Georgia.
A* From the communication which was re-
by Colonel Obear it appears that a
Hktmilar request has been sent to the gov-
of eacb state.
MwVb ti President McKinley spoke before
Georgia legislature two weeks ago re
• the making of the care of the
of the Confederate* a national
HBharge the sentiment was applauded to the
| echo and this applause followed him
Mthroughout his tour of the south. Not
Konly in* the south was his expression ap-
Mb roved, but from every section of the
Hpquntry came words of commendation for
Bathe president's fraternizing words.
i The order which was received by the
Hrassistant adjutant general comes as evi
■ dence of the fact that the president was
Kearnest in his utterances and that the day
grwhen he national government will care for
■ Confederate graves is not far distant,
r ,It appears that the .president, as soon as
I he returned to the national capital from
I; his triumphal tour of the south, began
I preparations for a practical application of
I the sentiments so happily expressed. It
I seems that the order sent to Georgia has
E been sent to all the southern states, and as
I a ic-sult, the department will soon be fa
ll miliar with the location of every Confed
f erat cemetery in the country.
Governor Candler, when asked about the
order stated that it had not been handed
I him by the assistant adjutant general and
he had no knowledge of the fact that it
had been received.
“'lt Is mv intention," said Governor
Candler, "to issue a circular letter in the
course of the next few days to the ordin
aries of the various counties requesting
them to send to this office information
concerning the men who left the various
counties to enter the Confederate army
and the location of the gravee of those
who are buried in the different counties,
f im doing this as a result of a resolution
passed by the legislature directing that
such information be obtained 'by the de
partment. If such a letter as mentioned
has come from Washington I will probably
see it in the morning."
The information Governor Candler will
receive from the ordinaries of the differ
ent counties is identical with that which
is said ,/ be desired at Washington, and
when it has been received a duplicate of
it will, in all .probability, be forwarded
to the war records office.!’

TRIBUTES TO
ROMERO
The Government Formally
Recognizes the Virtues
of the Diplomatist
By Associated Press.
Washington. Dec. 31. —.Speaking of the
death of Matias Romero, the Mexican am
bassador. Secretary of State Hay said:
“His residence here for forty years,
with brief intervals of absence, forms the
longest continuous kngth of service ever
attained by a. foreign diplomat in this
country, and his elevation and dignity of
character, his uniform courtesy to all with
\v>om he was brought in contact, his sin
cerity and straightforwardness endeared
lv m to everybody. He leaves a place hard
to till in the official life of the capital.
Few diplomats have ever accomplished so
much good la strengthening the relations
of friendship and good neighbors between
the country that he represented and the
country in which he was so lon* an hon
ored guest."
The secretary sent the following tele
gram to Ambassador Powell Clayton:
“Express to the president and govern
ment of Mexico the deep sorrow and sin
cere condolence of the president and gov
ernment of the United States by reason
pf the death of the honored representative
of the sister republic. Long known to us
and esteemed in the highest degree for his
sterling qualities and personal endow
ments, Senor Romero's death at this time
when higher honor and enlarged usefulness
had been deservedly conferred upon him.
is especially lamented. The president and
cabinet will attend the funeral.”
AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN WORK
SHOPS.
There are many machine shops, both in
England and on the continent .that will
supply complete plants of machinery and
manufacture within their own walls boil
ers. engines, shaftings, hangers, pulleys,
small tools and all sorts of machines, both
large and small. While this state of af
fairs may be explained historically, it can
not be defended as an economic pticiple,
in the light of modern practice. The very
opposite policy is followed by most,Amer
ican makers of machinery. Many concerns
devote themselves entirely to one line of
machinery, and have no hesitation what
ever in refusing orders for anything which
they have not made a special study. A
natural segregation has occurred in all
the arts and sciences and the American
idea of specializing in the manufacture of
machine tools is but a practical applica
tion of this principle. European nations
must follow the same lines if they hope
to compete.—H. F. L. Orcutt. in the En
gineering Magazine for January.

HAD TEN SONS IN THE ARMY.
Queen Victoria's Gifts Bring to Light
Some Curious Facts.
The gift by Queen Victoria of SSO and
her pofrait. which her Majesty seat ;o a
Mrs. Keveth, of St. Breward. Cornwall, in
appreciation of the services of Mrs. Ke
veth's seven sons in the army, has had the
effect of bringing to light several other
eases of large families who have upheld
the flag of old England, says the New
York Herald. Whether these cases have
been discovered with a view of sharing the.
queenly reward or merely to show that
there “were others,” does not seem to be
•clear, but the fact is that there have been
not a few families in which a large num
ber of sons have fought in the same regi
ment.
The Battye brothers are believed to
have been the most numerous of any one
family of fighters. There were ten of
these men, and they were all in the army
at one time. Battles took off four, but the
others went on fighting, and made good
records without meeting disaster. One of
them achieved signal distinction, being
appointed Military Knight at Windsor.
This was Colonel Montague Battye, and
bis installation took place not long ago.
Eight sons were given by Mrs. Margaret
Clark. ,who died at Plymouth in 1817.
Seven of these sons entered the naval ser
vice of John Bull, the remaining son don
ning the uniforrp of a soldier. The navy
boys bad harder “going" than the one who
fought on land, for in an engagement
commanded on one side by Admiral Kep
ipel five of the sons were killed in one
day.

TWO POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWER
ED.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get a better price for it?
Ans. As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much larger
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public bqth are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment upon them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy, The people have
been using it for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exaggerated
claims, but are certain to return to the
one remedy that they know to be reliable.
And for coughs, colds and croup there is
nothing equal' to Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. For sale by H. J. Lamar &
