The Bulloch Herald. OFFICIAL OKCAN OF TflE COUNTY ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. riTBLISHKD FRIDAYS. DAVID B. TURNER. Editor and Proprietor. Entered at the postofflee at Statesboro, Ga., as second-class mail matter Statesboro, Ga., Aug. 31. 1900. The Mexican census, recently completed, shows a total popula tion of 12,491,573, over two-thirds of whom are illiterate. Over per cent, of the population are of mixed or Indian blood. In the event of the election of the national democratic ticket. Solicitor General Sam P. Maddox of the Cherokee Circuit will be an applicant for the office of United States district attorney. The Middle-of-the-Road popu¬ lists claim ihat they will elect two congressmen in Texas, two in Ala¬ bama and one in Georgia, and Chairman Parker claims his party would poll 1,000,000 votes. Counsel for three men accused of larceny in a Canadian court asked the judge to protect his clients trom a couple of amateur photo¬ graphers who were trying to snap¬ shot them during the hearing, but the court ruled that no person could be prevented from attempt¬ ing to take a photograph. John Stevenson, the iron and steel man, built a $65,000 house at New Castle, Pa. Then he became displeased with some of his neigh¬ bors. He sold out his hohlings in the New Castle mills and had his house taken down, stone by stone, carted to Sharon, twenty miles away, and put together again. It cost him a lot of money, but it re¬ lieved his feelings, and possibly those of the New Castle people as well. An astonishing piece of news now comes from Bolivia, where the newspapers are talking of an¬ nexation to this country as a means to avoid submission to the aggression of Chile. Moreover, in the provinces of Tacra and Arica, which are held by Chili, there have been meetings of the populace where it was formally resolved to raise the stars and stripes if the provinces were not restored to Peru. A hot weather reporter in Wash¬ ington reports that eggs were fried on the pavements of that city last week by the heat of the sun ; but Columbus goes one better than this and reports that in one in¬ stance chickens were hatched from eggs left lying on a pantry shelf. Shades of Ananias! Those fol¬ lows have never seen hot weather yet, campared to what is in store for the champion liar in the next world. Two young men in jail on a charge of theft at Eureka, Kan., tried to saw their way out. The sheriff made (hem undress so he could search their clothing for the saw, giving them other clothes to wear in tho meantime. These the prisoners burned on tho floor of the cell, and the sheriff, by way of punishing them, has left them naked ever since, And the mos quitos are very active there at night, too. Upon opening a car laden with hay in a Chicago freight yai'd, the other day, the consignee was as tonishoi to find two valuable horses inslfte, while nearly one third of the hay had been devoured. Their stomachs were so much dis¬ tended from overeatiug that both animals]) had to be killed. This incident reminds us of that story about the merchant who ordered a barrel of potatoes and the commis¬ sion man sent a barrel of cheap watches instead, which the mer chant declined to receive. bomo of the American s dfliers in the Philipii ics tell o f a strange sight witnessed # during a church service recently held in their honor. The interior of the church had been bedecked by the natives in red, white and blue, the master¬ piece of decoration being a painted eagle on a shield hung over the imago of one of the saints, On the banner which streamed from the eagle’s bill was this legend: “Old Reliable Condensed Milk.” it seems that the artist who painted tho eagle had copied it, inscription aud all, from the label on an old milk can, believing that the ban¬ ner bore the American motto. Chances On The Farm. A gentleman of our acquaintance was heard to remark complaining ly a few days ago that he had “missed it by not being a they all grow rich without work¬ ing while we poor working men are growing poorer every day l’ 1 In his own mind this gentleman possess¬ ed a diversity of talents, and the world has done him great wrong in not recognizing them. He has gone up the scale from farming to peddling without the world having tumbled to him, and in his old days has discovered wherein he had made a fatal mistake, after it 1 9 t°° lot* 5 to correct it. The gentleman’s attention was called t« the fact that, thrift and industry were required to make a success in any line, and that the fellow who lacked the energy to make a living on the farm would probably find the law busiuess quite as unprofitable. He was re¬ minded that in Bulloch county there are far more independent livers on the farms than there are off of them, while a large per cent, of the professional men are bound to their offices long hours every day and are frequently burning the “midnight oil” when the in¬ dustrious farmer is spending bis hours in dreamland. These conditions are true; there is money for the hustler on farm more certainly and easily than elsewheie. An exchange writing on line says. “It is not the rate of wages that decides a young man’s chances in life. A very wise economist has “It is not what a man earns, but what he saves, that adds to his Wages are higher and the necessities of life cheaper than they ever were; but times have changed in other respects, and the luxuries of fifty years ago have be¬ come necessities. Society in its simplest form demands ef the young man what would have been considered reckless extravagance then. It is useless to say that these demands need not be acceded to for the unwritten laws of society must be obeyed, or he who disre¬ gards them will find out of a job and then what of the promising young man? is ns difficult for a young man succeed in business now as it was in this country. Opportuni¬ ties, considered alone, are than they ever were; but are worse than they ever were, and far more numerous. They meet the young man at every street cor ner, at home, at his work—every¬ where. They are planning his overthrow while he sleeps, and dog his footsteps as ho goes t j and fro. The enforced economics of a generation ago formed an excel¬ lent training, and were almost a sure guarantee of success in any line of business when a foothold was once secured. Now the little extravagances and the innumer¬ able temptations that beset his path make the future struggle for existence more fierce, and the ground wherever they occur more slippery. As a result 90 per cent, of the men in “business” fail. Less than 10 per cent, was the rule only a few decades ago. What is the chance for a young man to own a farm and pay for it, beginning as a farm laborer? They are as good as they ever were. It requires more knowledge and skill than it nice did, but the knowledge and skill necessary for success are more easily attained, and oppor¬ tunities are more numerous and better than they ever were, if labor saving tools have supple¬ mented hand labor, there are few¬ er laborers to compete with, and skill is more in demand than it ever was and is better paid. We were talking with a young man last week who has sold fruit enough in two years to pay for his land, and the very labor that accom¬ plished tins result has doubled the value of liis farm. Not every one can do so well as this, but half so well may lie counted as success. The young farmer who studies his business with a determination to excel can soon command good wages. When this occurs he can rent land judiciously, and within five years can buy land and im¬ prove it. Of course he should be judiciously married in the mean¬ time, and this is as easily done as the other. If he loves the free and independent life ot the farm well enough to deserve success ho will succeed. If he is a careless chump, he will fail here as he would else¬ where. Chances are as good as they ever were.” The ! omh Still Expanded. Mention has frequently been made in !!ie papers about the ex¬ pansion of the south until now the lynching mania, heretofore charged only to a few southern states, has extended over the en¬ tire nation—North, Hast and West. Great expansion. Only last week a mob in New York raged two days in search of a negro who had killed a police- . man ; and only a day later “Akron, O.,” says the Valdosta Times, “the home of the tire-eating Foraker, comes along with the wildest mob that has yet broke loose to wreak vengeance upon a negro charged with any sort of crime. The Ak ron mob was so thirsty for the gore of an offending negro that a boy and an infant in its carriage were killed and a dozen or more men wounded in the simple effort to quiet the mob after it was shown that the negro had been spirited away. The jail was torn down and a chunk of dynamite was placed under the corner of the city ball. A newspaper office was demolished and the militia was defied. Hardware stores and gun shops were broken open to get arms with which to fight and thousands of people are said to have been in the mob. And it was vengeance against a negro who “attempted” an outrage that set the mob to moving. “In no city of the South and in 110 section of the South have the people been wrought to such a frenzy. No where in the South hove the people become lunatics and desperadoes, destroying prop¬ erty and killing innocent men in the effort to measure summary punishment to the brutes. In the South the mobs go about their work in a comparatively orderly way. They punish the offender and then stop. For genuine “out¬ rages” the pious people of the states of Illinois, New York and have seen more in a week than happened in the South in all the years since emancipation, put gether. Missionaries are there.” That Girl Is a Jewel. One frequently sees in the pers reports of elopement marriage, and it is put down once that the young man was exnctly all right, or the parents would no have so seriously. This is probably in throe-fourths of the cases—the young man is not worthy of tho girl lie wants to marry, and her parents know it. If these elope¬ ment marriages were followed up, they would probably furnish argument in support of the state¬ ment that marriage is a failure. It is not enough to say that the young woman loves her sweetheart so dearly that she chooses to for¬ sake her family for him. The girl whose love is pure, loves her parents first, because it is they who have brought her into exist¬ ence and cared for her in her heip lessness; aud slie will respect their advico in preference to her own whims and fancies. When she goes to take the important step of her life if she is worthy of love she will not turn her back upon them and slip out into the black¬ ness of night with a man who to her and to them is a practical stranger—she will win them to her way of thinking by her love for them and her lover. A story is reported from Nash ville of the elopement of a young couple from ail adjoining county who went there to be married. They arrived early Saturday morn¬ ing and immediately applied to the county clerk for a marriage hscense. They were the best dress¬ ed couple that has entered the clerk’s office for many a day. The would-be groom admitted to the clerk that they wished to marry against the wishes of tho girl’s mother, but so long as they were of age they thought they had u right to do so. The license was granted aud the young man asked to be shown to the nearest minis¬ ter but here the girl interposed aud sugested that they first look over the city. The two strolled along the street and finally brought up at the homo of tho Methodist minister. The young man started to lead the way to the door, but tho girl grasped his arm and held him back. “Oh, Will,” she cried, the tears starting down her cheeks, “I can’t do it. I can’t without mother's consent. You know I love you so tnueb, but now I am sorry I Please let’s go home and my mamma will relent in time.” I he young man pleaded, but all in vain, the girl was firm. The license was returned and the two loft Saturday evening for their home, trusting to be forviven. All honor to the girl who chose first to win her mother’s consent. She is a jewel, and the young man will filld it worth his timo to wait f or j, , r Speed On The Ocean. During the past 10 years the de¬ velopment of speed on the water has been advanced much faster than that on land. The English navy now boasts of a torpedo boat destroyer which is the fastest vessel ever constructed. It has attained a speed of 43 miles an hour and can easily show her heels to any craft afloat. Though this wonderful boat is only 210 ft. long, 27 ft beam and 7 ft. draft, it requires 12,000 horse-power to develop its best speed. There is hardly any preceptible vibration even when the boat is going at its highest rate. It is the highest achievement of the science of building ocean fliers. The average railroad speed is not now much greater thru it was 10 years ago, and the highest speed ever attained by a locomotive was made over 9 years ago. In the meantime there has been a great insrease of speed both of vessels of war and commercial craft, The assertu 11 that a boat could be con¬ structed that would go 43 miles hour would have been scouted even five years ago as absurd. Botli battleships and cruisers are much speedier now than they were even so late as the Spanish American war, and the trans-At¬ lantic record has been broken twice within a few weeks by the same ship. The naval constructors are workr ing wonders and will probably give us seme other surprise soon. Usefulness of the float. There are thousands of goats in Bulloch county which to date have accomplished nothing except tc furnish an occasional mess of kid at country picnics and to make their owner’s neighbors cuss every day in the year, But a new avenue.of usefulness has been opened for them. A writer in an agricultural journal sets them for¬ ward as milk producers in this language: “The usefulness of tho goat in clearing foul lands and the profit¬ ableness of the animal for its hair, skin and even carcass, is becoming pretty well understood. But the goat is valuable as a dairy animal. If the cows, for instance are being used to supply a city milk trade, the keeping of goats for the home milk supply would be an^exeelient policy. The goat will live where a cow would starve; and while it. liko every domestic animal, will do best on good pasture, it will ive ail(J yield I))ilk ou ast0 nisli j ng jy m t | 0 f ood (‘The animaland its milk are al¬ most entin Jy exempt from disease; the milk is more nutritious than that of the cow and agrees with stomachs that cow’s milk frequent¬ ly offends. The animal requires only the cheapest kind of shelter fiom the storms and in winter. If by reason of drought, soiling is neccessary, leaves, vegetables, re¬ peelings of the apple or pota to> breatl crusts „r stale bread, if they are sweet and clean, will bo all the feed that i» needed. All goals, however, will not eat the same food, and the feeder will have to study the appetites of the individual animal. Frequent feed¬ ing and a variety of food in winter will bo found beneficial. Roots, oil meal, oats, corn (of tho latter, in the whole state, the goat is very fond) are proper feed, especially for the milking goat. Rock salt is greatly relished- The flavor of goat’s milk cannot be distinguised from that of cow's milk, if it is properly cared for. From three to four pints iwday is the average yield of a good milker- The milk is so rich and of such a character that in making pastry it will take the place of eggs.” About Life Insurance.

Burused on the sick list this BROTHER AM) SISTER. Ilow pleasant is home—when brother and sister live in peace an d strive to make each other happy ! Some children will quar reI aboufc the most Mug things; they will call each other bad names and tell of each other’s faults. Then, I can not say that brother or sister is to be blamed for all this, for, had their father and mother begun aright with them in their youthful days, and kept a tight rein on them until later years, they would be made to reap more happiness. If you wish your brother or sis¬ ter to love you, you must show by your words and your acts that you truly love them. Do not laugh at your brother’s or sister’s mistakes but tell them of it kindly. The affection that exist between mem¬ bers of the family afford pleasn. • scenes of human happiness, and that which exists between brother and sister should he cultivated. It is a beautiful and lovely feel¬ ing, and sepms to be wholly pleas¬ ing in its thoughts and feelings It must necessarily be a pure* spirit ual love. It should be cultivated as one of the sweetest plants in the garden of the heart. It should be watered every morning and every evening with the dews of good nature, and sunned all day with the light of kindness. It should Imar nothing but loving and tender words' and see noth¬ ing but smiles and tokens of con¬ fidence and Affection docs not beget ness, nor is it unmanly for a ther to be firmly attached to a ter; such a boy will make a and brave man. The custom the young man to kiss his sweet, innocent sister night and as they met shows its upon him. He will never it, and when he shall take one to his heart as his wife, shall reap the golden fruits of. The young man who is in habit of giving his sister his arm as rhey go to and from church, will never leave his wife to find her »ay as best, she can. He who been trained to see that his is seated before he sought his own, will never mortify a neglected wife in tho presence of strangers. A young man is very much his sister and young lady choose to make him. If sisters are watchful and affectionate they may in various ways lead them along till their characters formed and then a high respect for ladies, and a manly self-re sp'jct, will keep them from ming¬ ling m low society. The brother and sister should grow up together, he educated at the same school, engage in the same sports, and as far as practi¬ cable, in the same labors. The same moral lessons and duties should bear upon them. It is an error that the youths of our land are separated in so many of the The most important duties of life. girls are taught that it is not pretty to go with the boys, and the boys that it is net manly to be with the girls, while at the same time the society of each is necessary for the development of the character of tho other. When they do meet it is only for sport and nonsense; to joke and decieve each other. God loves little children that love each other; he also loves old¬ er borly people that are kind and neigh¬ to each other. One of his great demands is, Honor thy father and thy mother that it may be well with the, aud that thou mayest live long upon the earth.” Eph. 6:2-3. He also says, “Little children, let us not loye in word neither in the tongim, but in deed and in truth.” I. John 3: 18. B- B- Jones.
