HONOR FOR AMERICA
IN THE AWARD
apart from the gr« at orders of the
glon of Honor, the Merlte Agricole
Academic Palma and the LUt*8a
Medal
The Cross That the French Ar
Secretary Hay.
The French mind sees a unique j
honor in the naming of Secretary of |
State Hay and Ambassador Porter for
the Grand Cross of the Legion of
Honor. To the Frenchman this act
typifies the deep-rooted friendship be
tween the two countries.
The Grand Cross of the Legion of
Honor is the highest decoration in the
gift 'of the French government. It has
never before been offered to an Ameri
can cabinet member. Few foreign
ambassadors have ever possessed it.
Whatever be the diplomatic signifi
cance of the affair, there is no doubt
ing the honor. Americans in Paris are
proud of it. Ambassador Porter has
received a thousand telegrams of con
gratulations.
Though a republic, France has more
kinds of decorations and makes more
use of them than any other European
country. Not counting the commemo
rative military medals of St. Helena
(1821), the Crimea (1856), the Baltic
China (1866). Meneta (1868). Algiers
and Tunis (1874), Tonkin (1883). Da
homey (1892) and Madagascar (1885 to
1895), without which the get-up of de
crepit fnuseum guards, aged bahk run
ners and white-whiskered customs in
spectors would be Incomplete, the gov
ernment at present recognises thirteen
sorts of civic and military excellence
All Kinds of Medals.
Among the most curious are those
medals ot honor awarded by employ
ers to all such clerks and workmen as
have served thirty years consecutively
in the sam£ establishment. These
medals are in gold, silver or bronze,
cording to the llberulity of the em
ployer who pays for them.
Military members of the order were
their crosses, but hot civilians. The
latter are content to wear a single tiny
red ribbon in their buttonhole or a tiny
red rosette, according to their rank.
And new members lost no time in put
ting on the ribbon, once their names
have appeared In the Journal Official.
What the Orders Mean.
The Legion of Honor is generous to
military members. The rank of cheva
lier carries a yearly salary of 250
francs; officer. 500;-commander. 1,000;
grand otficer, 2,000, and grand cross,
3.000. The annuiU revenue of the legion
from Its invested capital is 16.215,000
francs. Eight millions are paid yearly
to military legionaries. Five millions
go to soldiers decorated with the mil
itary medal (a kind of lower branch of
the order), nnd about two millions are
expended on boarding schools for
phan daughters or near relatives of de
ceased legionaries. Civilian members
draw no money.
When members die they get a mili
tary furferal only when the members
of their family ask for it. Military
members have that proud honor by
routine. These funeral honors count
high in the French imagination, and
many an aged member of the legion
wonders today if he would not bfcst
die soon lest the order be abolished.
The new law of 1896 limits the civil
ian element of the Legion of Honor to
12,000 chevaliers, 2.Q00 officers. 250
commanders. $0 grand officers apd 20
grand crosses.
The yearly foreign nominations to
the order, military and civilian, are
limited to 382 legionaries of nil grades.
The entire civil element, without for
eigners. counts up nbout 12.500. The
maximum membership is‘fixed by the
law of 1896 at 14,320 for civilians of all
classes.
One man in every ten in France is a
government employe, and all branches
of the government service are Jionored
with appropriate decorations. The am
biance service, both municipal and mil
itary. holds out the white ribbon nnd
red cross to its faithful. The prison
service rejoices in a green ribbon with
oblique yellow bands, the forestry de
partment in a green ribbon with yel
low border. Even now question of a
great new governmental order Is pro
posed with the Academic Palms, nnd
to be called the Order of Administra
tive Zeul.
It is easy to discern that the true ob
ject of these minor decorations is to
put up new buffers to protect the Le
gion of Honor from clamoring millions.
The Order of Agricultural Merit,
founded In 1883, was to content influ
ential farmers and stock breeders who
coveted the red ribbon. Every Janu
ary artd July, when the new nomina
tions for the Legion of Honor are dis
cussed, there are many applicants for
each red ribbon.

Meanwhile those in power try tp
content the ambition* with the lesser
decorations. Surely it would be un
just to speak of the Academic Palms
nhd the Agricultural Merit as the slop,
over of the Lcfrlon of Honor. Never
theless. Just as the military medal is
seen oftener than the ribbon of the
legion on the breastn of common sol
diet s, so the purple ribbon of the Aea
demlc Palms Is most familiar to the
buttonholes of savants, artists, writers,
professors and composers who have not
known how to advertise themselves fn
the Parisian world.
When the Agricultural Merit was
founded In 1883 It was saluted with
laughter as "The Order of the Iieek."

The United States Health Bulletin, the American authority
on matters of health, sanitation and hygiene, in its issue for
May, 1904, contains the following editorial comment:—
“One of the several breweries of whoso product we havo
spoken before, as reaching a high degree of perfection from
its care in preparation, its freedom from adulteration together
with the purity of the water used in its manufacture and the
sanitary and hygienic methods employed in the handling of
it, during both production and delivery, is the Acme Brewing
Companj ,^of ^ j )c a y 0 ^ re commend the product of
this brewery as one of the few that we know to be of as
high and honest a grade as it is possible to produce, and we
make this editorial recommendation without any request
from and without even the knowledge of the manufacturers
of this Lieer, that it is to be made at the time of its printing,
gladly letting them derive what benefit they may from the
publicity we give them, in the interests of purity In the mak
ing of food and drink."
Acme Beers are sold by good dealers everywhere. Ask for brewery bottling.

| ADEL, GA.===Its Progressive Record and Splendid Prospects
ADEL, Ga., August 27.—This hustl
ing, progressive town of 1,200 busy
people la situated In the Southwestern
part of the fine county of Berrien on
the Georgia Southern Sc Florida rail
road. Adel's history dates back only
nbout fourteen years, the date the G.
S. & F. railroad was built through this
section, and during this period the
town's growth has been gradual and
substantial. The town has never had
a boom or mushroom growth, but has
steadily and solidly pushed ahead as
the fine surrounding territory devel
oped. But for the past year or two.
Its growth has been very rapid and
a number of industries have been es
tablished which have considerably in
creased the population and trnde. The
manufacturing enterprises give em
ployment to many people nnd have a
monthly pay roll of $4,000 with other
substantial enterprises in prospect,
which will add. much to the town’s
importance.
Adel enjoys a fine trade from a fer
tile nnd healthy farming section, which
Is yet only partially developed, but
the prospects are that these unex
celled farming lands will be rapidly
settled up as the sawmill and turpen
tine timber’has been worked up, which
will cause the land to be put on the
—mu#k*r ferr fnrtnlAg purposes and
^rapidly developed by thrifty farmers
jfrom the older sections of the coun
try, which, of course, will add greatly
to the trade and population of Adel
Ht As to the farming lands of this sec
tion, there are none better In Wlre-
‘ grass Georgia. Everybody has heard
of the fine farming of Brooks county,
’it is only five miles from Adel to the
■llflo of'Brooks and the land of this por-
[J tlon of Berrien Is equal to thnt of
\ Brooks. It is the best quality of pine
land, the splendid crops nAw growing
Is conclusive evidence of thnt fact.
There are farmers in this community
\ who will make ten bales of Sea Island
cotton and 200 bushels of corn to the
plow, besides abundance ot fine hay,
peas, sweet potatoes, and- iniga/ cane.
This Is good farming, since a bale of
long staple cotton Is worth $80 to $100
and these farmers raise their own sup
plies of meat, corn, syrup and forage.
It is ft great section und all that is
necessary for a farmer to accumu
late a competency within a few years
Is Industry and good business methods
of conducting his farm. The soil and
climate will certainly do their part and
give generous returns for the toll of
the farmer.
Both upland and Ben Island cotton
•re raised here. On some farms ten
to fifteen bales of upland are raised to
* «he plow with corn, oats and products
for home use in plenty, while
health of the country is fully as good
as in any portion of South Georgia.
Pure artesian water can be ob
tained at reasonable * cost and It la
predicted that every prosperous farmer
will have an artesian well, wind-mill
etc. within the next few years.
substantial lines, nnd Jts business con
cerns are solid and enterprising, keep
ing abreast of the times nnd extending
their trade as rnpldly as the surround
ing country is developed. The mer
chants and other business men by
courteous conduct and good business
methods have expanded the trading
territory of the town to cover a large
section of splendid country which mar
kets its produce nt Adel. Lost season
the cotton receipts amounted to 4.000
bales, about equally divided between
upland and Sea Island, besides large
quantities of syrup ana other produce,
which, with the saw mill and naval
stores interests gives Adel a large
trade.
Morally, Adel will .average up with
the most progressive new towns In the
state. It has been built largely by the
old substantial residents of this sec
tion who have looked well to the moral
Interests of the place from the begin
ning and the progressive mayor and
counctlmen keep down everything of
an Immoral nature.
Adel’s Churches.
Religious matters In Adel are by no
means neglected. Therq are four flour
ishing churches, including the Metho
dist, ,Baptist. Presbyterlnn and Prim
itive Baptist denominations. The peo
ple are a church going people and the
churches - are well supported by the
community generally.
nlture and school appliances. The
building will be of brick and will cost
not less than $10,000. The citizens of
the town are fully united on this en
terprise nnd enthusiastic over the pros
pects of n first class school nnd when
they determined to establish a school in
which every child can get an education
without charge and without price, ex
cept the small matriculation fee of fif
ty cents per term, they took a step for
ward. of which they will be proud in
the future, nnd which will repay them
many fold, for if they will pull together
nncl make a complete success of this in
stitution it will b6 the making of the
town. In these progressive times there
Is no better drawing enrd for a town
than an up to date school. Enterprising
men who have means to invest In seek
ing new homes nnd Investments to ad
vance their prospects, will invariably
select n community where there Is a
first class school, even If other places
offer better pecuniary advantages.
Therefore, if the citizens of a place
wish the town to grow and improve
they should work always as a unit for
n good school, disregarding nil personal
or factional mntters. They should give
and tnke in personal feelings and unite
on the best plan to build up their school
and they may be confident thnt their
A Progressive Moral Town.
Adel la one of South Georgia’s pro
gressive towns which la built up on
Berrien’e Public Schools.

public school system. For a number
of years past the educational Interests
of the county have been In Intelligent

hoot ssytem has been substantially

Adel Institute.
Few towns In South Georgia CAn
boast of better educational facilities
than Adel. The progressive citizens
of the town determined to establish a
first class school and have been plan
ning for some time for such an insti
tution with the result that Adel Insti
tute has been organized with first class
up to date teachers In all departments
and free tuition. The only charge
students will have to pay, being
matriculation fee of 50 cents per term
for those residing In town and $1.00
per term for non-residents.
With the exception of the depart
ment of music and elocution teachers
for which are yet to be elected, the fac
ulty Is composed of competent and ex
perienced educators who huve made ex
cellent records In their profession. Fol
lowing is the faculty as fur an selected:
Prof. W. D. Wells, principal; Miss Ef-
fie Meadows, Mrs. W. A. Shaw and
Miss Irnea Shaw, assistants. Teachers
for music and elocution will be elected
In time for the opening of the fall term.
The courses of study are graded and
consist of ten years work nnd compar
ing favorably with the best high
schools In the state. It Is determined
by the people of the town and the foe
ulty of the achool to make this Insti
tution one of the best In South Oeorgla.
Bonds will be Issued by the town this
fall for a modern school building which
will be equipped with all the latest fur
ore enterprising and up to date in their
methods. They are men of intelligence
nnd culture, in progressive development
and in the up-bulldlng of their town
they are sntlsfled with nothing short of
the best work nnd methods. They nre
well Informed men who are determined
In their efforts to have a clean, up to
date town, even If they have to' go
slower than other ambitious places.
Following irre the enterprising men
who nre building up Adel on a substan
tial basis and who nre nt all times
ready and willing to aid with their
money and energy for the advancement
nnd betterment of their town and com
munity:

of which Is said to be very fine, unex
celled by any other water In South
Georgia. Plans are now on foot to build
a modern system of water works which
will supply this health giving water
to every house In the town. The well Is
between $00 nnd 400 feet deep and the
wnter hns been pronounced by compe
tent Judges to be unusually fine. The
machinery for operating the well and
the wnter works plant will be put up ns
early as practicable. After this enter
prise Is completed the town authorities
will give their attention to securing ah
up-to-date electric light plant. Owing
