ACCURACY!
THE BEST REAL “PULL.”
Now that the summer is nearly over
hundreds of young men who were
.graduated last June from colleges and
high schools are entering the voca
tions which they intend shall be their
[life's work. Some are still seeking suit
able openings. The young man with
out a ‘'pull” may believe himself handi
capped. He is likely to see instances
fwhere the employer gives first con
sideration to his son, his nephew or
;the son of a friend. But that is no
[more than right. The average busi
ness man recognizes the obligations of
relationship and friendship, up to the
point where they do not Impair his
(material Interests and those of his as
sociates. His nephew and his friend’s
eon must make good—his own son, !
most of all. His tendency, in fact, is ;
ito be more strict with his son than
Ihe is with any of his other employes, I
says the Cleveland Leader. If a young !
(man thus favored with the first oppor
tunity shows that he will be a failure
jin the work he is doing, he is re
moved. Family ties and friendship
jusually will not hold him. Then comes
(the chance of the young man who may
(have felt discouraged because he had
(no "pull.” The best “pull" any young
tman can have in starting in life is
Ihonesty, industry and the determina
tion to work for his employer as
though he were working for himself.
tHe should realize that, in fact, he is
forking for himself and that he has a
lancial Interest in the business, to
the extent of his pay. Such a young
jnan is bound to succeed.
Upon a Newport “farm” which cost
» fortune the young owner lies ill of
(typhoid fever. A wealthy woman ne&r
|by suffers from the same "disease of
jdirt.” In Manhattan last year there
[was a sporadic outbreak in the region
(of costly apartment houses. This year
pt is Brooklyn's turn, says the New
(York World. In this city, with its
guarded water supply, it is likely that
(typhoid at this season is brought from
ansanitary summer resorts or Incurred
(during automobile runs. Every life
[lost by typhoid is a wasted life. It
Js absolutely preventable. People who
(live in marble halls without caring
(whether poison runs in the pipes be
hind them; the very rich who spend
(millions in display but negleet sanita
tion; college professors caught un
aware by epidemics like that in Ithaca
[ —these have themselves to blame if
(the disease occurs. Typhoid origina
ting in any community disgraces it
A new method of making physical
examinations to detect the presence of
tuberculosis has been demonstrated at
Guy’s hospital, London. The examina
tion is made by the aid of X-rays, and
Shows tuberculous ravages in the
Jungs, it is said, at an earlier stage
than they are revealed by the stetho
cope. The X-ray is valuable for
many purposes, but must always be
used with caution, as numerous sad
experiences have taught.

A Preventive Measure.
Six-year-old Harriet announced her
intention of giving up her German
lessons with fraulein.
“She hugs and kisses me all the
time I’m at lessons and—ugh—l do
hate Dutch,” Harriet explained.
Father, who is something of a diplo
mat, reasoned with her: “See here,
my little girl, I have read German and
French with fraulein ever since I
was your age, and she has never tried
to hug or kiss me.”
“Father,” observed the child dryly,
‘“you had better touch wood.” —Suc-

A SPANISH NINE
BLEW UP MAINE
COLONEL BRADY SAYS SPANISH
FANATIC DESTROYED U. S.
BATTLESHIP.
washingtonofficialsdeny
Zalvado, Who Touched Key That Ex
ploded the Mine, Was
Executed.
Kansas City, Mo. —That Joseph E.
Zalvado, a Spanish electrician, work
ing in Moro castle, and probably a
fanatic, was responsible for the battle
ship Maine disaster, was the state
ment made here by Colonel Jasper E.
Brady, United States army.
Colonel Brady says he was one pf a
commission of four men who investi
gated the explosion and reported their
findings to President McKinley.
“Of course 1 did not see this man
turn on the switch which set free
the powerful mines that caused the
disaster,” said the colonel, “but the
evidence in the case pointed directly
to his guilt. Three other army officers,
whose names 1 do not care to give,
and myself reported to the President
that in our belief Zavaldo was respon
sible. He was later executed upoi|
the command of General Blanco. No
one, however, was ever able to learn
for what rason.”
Colonel Brady, in the address at St.
George’s Episcopal church, bad dis
cussed the Maine disaster, and attrib
uted it to a submarine mine explo
sion. His statement brought forth de
nials from Washington among other
things, being tuat no military board
had been appointed to investigate the
case. Colonel Brady explains that the
board never convened to make its re
port, but reported individually to the
President.
Colonel Brady is a brother of the
Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, rector
of St. George's church, and author.
Attempts to learn anything about
the history of the electrician proved
futile, said Colonel Brady.
“All we know is tuat he was in
charge of the wires which operated;
the mines,” he said. “If the Spanish
government had desired to blow up
the battleship he would have been or
dered to turn on the current and re
lease the explosives. As nearly as we
could learn he acted on an impulse
while near the electrical apparatus
and turned on the skitch that killed
the 207 men.
“The harbor was full of mines and
it is not surprising that the Maine
anchored near one.
“We had much trouble in obtaining
evidence. Our case was made up very
largely by putting two and two otgeth
er and arriving at a conclusion.”
DISASTROUS FIRES.
Fires in Macon, Huntsville and Mont
gomery Cause Big Losses.
Macon, Ga. —The plant of the Ma
con Daily Telegraph was completely
destroyed by fire.
The equipment in every department
was totally destroyed, and literally
nothing was saved from the flames.
C. Raymond Clay, a linotype Opera
tor, was burned to death while asleep
W. T. Anderson, business manager
of The Telegraph, stated that the loss
will probably reach SIOO,OOO. New
equipment has been wired for and un
til it arrives The Telegraph will con
tinue to be issued from the plant of
the Macon News.
Huntsville, Ala.—The Huntsville ho
tel was almost entirely destroyed by
an early morning blaze that started
in the kitchen. The total loss was
about $120,000, with insurance of $82,-
000. Several leading business con
cerns were burned out also.
Guests of the hotel lost personal
belongings aggregating SIO,OOO.
Montgomery, Ala. —A fire early en
dangered an entire retail business
block of Montgomery before it was
gotten under control. The fine SIOO,-
000 stock of John L. Cobbs & Co., one
of the largest and oldest dry goods
and carpet houses of Montgomery,
was damaged about $50,000, the loss
covered by insurance. The Alabama
Bible society sustained a loss of about
SB,OOO, while other incidental losses
reached $2,000, making a total esti
mated of $60,000.
Hog Prices Dropping.
Cleveland, Ohio. —Hog prizes have
dropped approximately 70 cents in
eight days on the local market. Deal
ers say that further declines will
come. The big corn crop is assigned
as the cause.
801 l Weevil Traveling Fast.
Louisville, Miss.—The eastward
march of the boll weevil has carried
the dreaded cotton pest to within less
than 30 miles of the Alabama state
line. Specimens of the weevil were
brought here from Winston county.
•Taft Doubtful About Second Term.
Washington.—When President Taft
was invited to attend a proposed cel
ebration in Pittsburg in 1914, com
memoraitng the close of a century of
peace between the English-speaking
peoples, under the auspices of the
Sisterhood of the Rodph Sholum con
gregation, he said: “In 1914 I will
probably be your neighbor, living in
Cincinnati, and I will try to run ovei|
and see you.” There was a smile on
the president 3 face when he thus
eliminated himself from a second term
consideration.
Q emgia Nos
Statesboro.—Another big sensatioi;
in connection with the wholesale burg
lary here about two weeks ago, when
four stores were entered, has jusj
come to light, and in addition to an
other white boy's arrest, it has been
given out that the grand jury return
ed a true bill against the night mar
shal, Erastus Brown, a young man
who had been serving in that capac
ity for several months. It is said
that both the Negro Cox and Joan
Scarboro, white, have implicated the
night policeman. It is understood
that they say that he stayed out and
"watched” while the stores were be
ing robbed.
Quitman.—Quitman’s lid is off
Council, at its last session, passed an
ordinance requiring the closing of the
stores and other places of business
of the town tnat were charged with
openly violating the Sunday law r . May
or Wilson vetoed the ordinance. It is
stated those who have been fighting
for a “closed town” will take their
case before the grand jury which
meets shortly.
Cordele. —The citizens of Cordele
will have an elaborate banquet on the
night of November 22 to celebrate the
fifth anniversary of the formation of
Crisp county and at the same time
formally reorganize the Cordele cham
ber of commerce. All business and
professional men of the city will be
invited to attend. In addition to the
local speakers, several prominent
men from other parts of the state will
be invited to address the gathering.
Atlanta.—The state agricultural de
partment was the recipient of three
fine stalks of cotton from J. A. Math
ews of Reynolds, Ga., the staple hav
ing been grown in Taylor county. The
ptalks are nearly six feet in height
iand thickly covered with open bolls.
The cotton is the improved Toole va
riety, and has yielded SO bales on 50
acres. Mr. Mathews attributes this
phenomenal yield to judicious seed se
lection, careful preparation of the soil
•through fall plowing and harrowing.
[From the appearance of cotton ail
over the state, the officials of the
department af agriculture declare
there will be practically no top crop
this year.
Jackson. —The concrete work on the
big dam on the Ocmulgee river is
about completed and another chapter
in the industrial development of the
south is fast drawing to a close. The
power house and immense turbines
are in place and the transmission
lines have been completed into Ma
con. Good weather has favored the
contractors and the work is being fin
ished up a few weeks earlier than
was at first expected. The work of
filling up the fifteen-mell reservoir
will soon be started. It is said it
will take three weeks at the usual
flow of the river for the basin to fill
up.
Tifton. —Georgia women are plan
ning to take up and extend enthusias
tically the work of the Greater Geor
gia association. In a few days and
following conferences between officers
of the associaton and leading women
in church, educatonal, civic and pa
triotic organizations, a committee of
prominent women from the state at
large will be named. The function of
this committee will be the appoint
ment of local committees in every
community of the state, and these
committees will diligently spread the
'doctrine of Greater Georgia.
Mr. John Bennett, who lives near
Commerce, claims to be the cham
pion cotton picker in the world. Last
week, in three days, he picked fifteen
hundred and seventy-five pounds of
cotton. This was done in three con
secutive days.
Atlanta. —The prison commission
recommended the commutation to
present term of the sentence of
Claude Barker, who was sent to the
Fulton county reformatory for pock
eting $1.90 belonging to his employ
er.
Brunswick is the first city in Geor
gia which will have a postal savings
bank. The board of trustees of the
Postal Savings Bank system has an
nounced a list of forty-eight second
class postoffices which will have a
trial.
At a meeting of the chamber of
commerce of Savannah resolutions fa
voring the lengthening of the Savan
nah harbor were passed. The resolu
tion sets forth that it has not been
lengthened in EL number of years, and
the growing importance of the port
demands that action be taken. The
matter will be presented to the proper
authorities at Washington.
Macon.—Receivers of the Exchange
bank, of Macon, have filed a monthly
report in the superior court, showing,
$20,800 in cash on hand from the as
sets of the bank not yet distributed

Catarrh in Bad Form.
Mrs. Jennie Darling, R. F. D. 1,

unable to do my work for four years,
as I had catarrh in a bad form. I
coughed Incessantly, and got so weak

"Peruna came to my relief and by
faithfully using it. I am able to do my

In the service of a Baltimore fam

In the kitchen one day Aunt Sally’s
nepnew, n nine-year-old lad from a
point where crabs are seldom seen,
(was watching in breathless interest
the old lady's deviling of a dish of
such crustaceans.
“Aunty,” said he, after much reflec
tion upon this mysterious point, “does
debbil crabs come from de debbil?”
“No, chile,” promptly responded
Aunt Sally; “but dey is de debbil to
make.”
An Awful Moment.
The company always incluC ’ many,
delightful women, and I remeimu .* the
consternation caused among them one
day by Burnham, the scout. He ex
plained that he attributed his success
as a scout to the acuteness of his
sense of smell; it was like a blood
'hound’s.
“There's no one here today,” he
affirmed, “who at any time anywhere
in the future I could not recognize In

!you, and you," nodding at an alluring
