Interference in Venezuela.
Several days ago it was announced
that United States warships had
been sent to Venezuela to protect
the rights of American -citizens in
that country. Concerning this fact
and the surrounning conditions, our
Washington correspondent writes:
“Compelled thereto by the agents
of the Asphalt Trust, the United
States government has sent war
ships to Venezuela with the avowed
object of interferring by force of
arms to prevent the disarmament by
the Venezuelan government of the
employees of the trust, who are re
sisting the decrees of the courts of
the republic, in favor of a weaker ri
val, which is also an American cor
poration, but which has not the ear
of the administration. It is some
what difficult to ascertain the exact
situation in the asphalt regions.
It is known, howeve, that years ago
the Asphalt Trust obtained a con
cession in the state of Bermudez.
In 1888 it acquired an additional
concession, which contained asphalt
deposits. A few years later a Vene--
zuelau company acquired a tract ad
joining that of the trust, and trans
ferred its rights to an American
company. Disputes arose as to the
boundary between the two, the trust
claiming it to be the meandering
line of a foot path through the for
est, while the new company asserted
that the line should be straight. If
so run, Lake Venezuela, which is
very valuable, would be in the grant
of the new company. The case was
arbitrated, decided against the trust
and President Castro ordered the
property turned over to the smaller
corporation. At once the trust de
clared the arbitrators were bribed,
and refused to surrender the land in
question. Obviously, the United
States has no right to interfere. It
is the right and duty of Venezuela
to maintain order in its domain and
execute the law. A quarel there be
tween rival American' business asso
ciations over Venezuelan concessions
concerns that government exclusive
ly. If the conditions were reversed
and the dispute between syndicates
composed of Venezuelans in the
United {States, our goverment would
not tolerate interference,jbnt would
compel the rivals to submit their
claims to the courts,”
A Fobt Valley correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution gives some
interesting details of an education
al institution just outside the corpo
rate limits of that city, of which
many Houston county people know
nothing. The institution is called
the “Fort Valley High and Indus
trial School,” and is devoted to the
education of colored youth, male
and female. Besides the literary
course, the boys are taught the the
ory and practice of farming, carpen
try, drawing,etc., while the girls are
instructed in cookery, sewing, laun-
drying, etc. The school farm this
year embraces 30 acres, devoted to
truck raising. The property of the
school is said to be worth $10,000,
and the names of four hundred pu
pils are on the roll this year. J. W.
Davison is the founder and princi
pal, and he can tell whether the cor
respondent has overdrawn the pic
ture or not.
The Weather Calendar That Predict
ed The Galveston Storm.
One of the best calendars of the
season is the “Cardui Weather
Chart and calendar for 1901,”
published by the Chattanooga
Medicine Company. ^ The Home
Journal office has just received
one from the publishers, which
consists of twelve sheets of paper,
18x20 inches in size, all fastened
together with a gilt tin strap and
a brass loop hanger. Each strip
contains the calendar for one
month in large figures that can be
read across any room. Under the
figures patent weather signals in
dicating Prof. Devoe’s Weather
forecasts for every day in the year
appear. This is the calendar that
accurately predicted the Galves
ton storm a year before it occur
red. We understand a few copies
of it can be secured by sendsng 10
one-cent postage stamps to the
Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chat
tanooga, Tenn.

Only The Best.
Ms. Editor:—
Permit me to submit a few sug
gestions, or ideas, to your readers.
Were all thinking people to deter
mine that nothing but the best is
good enough for their use, the im
petus to improvement in' all avenues
would be great, and the progress
continual.
In farming use the best lands
for the best crops, plant only the
best seeds, with best fertilization,
cultivate with the best implements
and the best judgment. This would
give the best results, increase the
productiveness of the soil and con
stantly add to the quantity and
quality of the products. Proceeding
on this line, the use of the best
breeds of poultry, hogs, cattle and
other animals would constantly add
to the quality and usefulness of these
valuable and needfnl adjuncts of
farm life.
In mercantile business the use of
the best selection in each grade of
merchandise would enhance the
character of the business, increase
the profits of the sellers, and to the
buyers there would be greater con
fidence, good will and satisfaction.
Of course there are some who can
not all times afford to buy the very
bust, but in using the best within
their means,the desire and ability to
raise their demands in quality would
surely come.
Individually to all people, the
ability is within their command to
use only the best thoughts, words
and actions in their intercourse with
other people..
It is not my purpose here to be
come the mentor of anj individual,
nor to enter into the details of any
proposed reform, but merely to give
foundation for thought and action
along a line whereon there is much
room for improvement.
Perhaps someone eles may desire
to elaborate this subject, and, per
haps, I may write again.
Respectfully,
Thinker.
