A supposed A dead man' suddenly turned into a hungry eight, foot sharic and a quiet swim in the ocean changed into a life and death struggle, was the experience of Harry M. Speerman, whose left arm was nearly bitten off by the fish, says the New York Times. Speerman arrived at Atlantic City, N. J., recently and went bathing, swimming to the end of the steplechase pier, a quarter of a mile from the shore. As he was about to return he saw a dark object. n short distanoe away coming toward him, He thought it was the body of a man. WlAn it got in reach he dived after it l and seized the tail of a shark- Speer- ■a* man lost no time in letting goof it.but the shark was after him like a flish. It rushed at him am) just missed one of his feet The guards hastened to his rescue, but before they reached Speerman the shark rushed him again and succeeded in sinking its long teeth in the man’s left arm. The life guards harpooned the shark with a boat hook. Speerman claimed the shark and said he would have it stuffed and shipped home. Commercial Succe... Ordered TO TlM5 StUliiP. Way cross, Oa., July 28, 1902. Editors of the Herald The question of commercial success is a question of vital im. portance to the modern commu nity. In thinking along these lines the Herald has often asked itself the question “why has Waycross not paid more atten tion to this Question of commer cial extension ?” The wiregrass section we believe is the coming section of the state; its gray lands free from steep hills and rocks, with a good clay subsoil, it has been demonstrated are the surest in their production of all crops. For over twenty years there has not been a failure in its crops while other portions of the state have been parched with drought or the hills washed bare by the Goods. With such a pos sibility for agricnltnral success, that town or city which sits su premely by and awaits the drop pings from the timber industry or the railroad pay roll will awake from its dream to find, its more enterprising neighbor out stripping it in the race for com mercial success. The welfare of all cities lie close to the heart of mother earth whose bosom fur nishes the milk that strengthens MEMBERS OF THE CABINET TO SFEAK FOR REPUBUCAN PARTY THIS FALL Washington, July S3.—The prell dent has requested the members of the Cabinet to etump for the Republican ticket this fall.

The announcement comet at an oppor tune time, just ,aa efforts are being made to Induce the president to ap point a national committee to study the genesis of tha hobo and bis habits of life. The committee, if appointed, will find valuable and interesting material in the wheat fields of Pratt county, Kansas. Therefore the maga zine writers who have been giving ne thoughtful and learned essays on “studies in tramp life" have taken the ground that the hobo la Inherently nomadic and that his indisposition to labor Is so deep-seated and fundamen tal that nothing will overcome it. The Kansas farmers have overcome the physical inertia of the hobo. They did it with a gun The deficiency in the farm hands la estimated at about 10,000 men. The harvest fields, with their golden seas of over-ripe grain, are calling for men. A freight train westward bound was wrecked near tha town of Pratt. On the train were fifty or sixty tramps oound for Colo rado tor their health. The farmers heard of it and offered them S3 per day sod plenty ft good food s.id shcl- ■ ter. They declined the offer. There upon the farmers tried shotgun persua sion, with the result that nearly ail of the tramps are now tolling in the har vest fields of Pratt county, and they will be kept at it nntil the wheat is garnered. The picture.qus of the epi sode it furnished by the women of the farms, who are acting as guards, each armed with a shotgun. If the Pratt couaty -system spreads It may offer a solution to the whole tramp problem. the present remember that the timber is vanishing and the de nuded lands only remain from which the life of its commerce must be drawn; that railroads throng into towns which furnish products for transportation and whose lively commercial enter prise invites their coming aud that the income of pay rolls is not intended for a sale reliance, but shoud be supplementary to t0 “ more stable resources. The era of agricultural activity and intensive tillage has dawned, though relegated for so long,in the Wiregrass section to the background, it has come to be the mainspring from which shall be let loose the wheels of our commerce. Cities and towns who would get in the flood tide must be prepared with their oil mills, their factories and their open and ready market for cot ton and all other products that a smiling land, under the blessings of God shall give back to the hand of industry,for opportunity is the master of human destiny, fame, love and fortune. On her footsteps wait cities and fields she passes; deBertB and seas re mote she penetrates, and pas sing by each hovel, mart and palace, and soon or late, she knocks nnbiddeu, once at every gate. If feasting rise; if sleep- wake, before she turns away, for it is the hour of fate, and those who follow her reach every state mortals desire, and con* quor every foe, lave death. But those who doubt or hesitate, condemned to failure, penury and woe, seek her in vain and use lessly implore. She answers not, and she returns no more. OPPORTUNITY. To Co to Europe.

It was time for tho wireless system to be found. Tesla had produced a wireless electric light, and it was known that telegraph mes sages could be seut from or received on moving cars without any 'immedi ate connection. These facts turned the thoughts of inventors to the ex tent to which communication could be had without the intervention of wires. Had noCMareonla, Staby, Braun or Tesla met with success some other man would have achieved the pur pose. The genina of a single man may anticipate a great discovery.
