Entered at the postoffice at Folkston,

“Tim” Healy, the Irish member of
Parliament, is quick at repartee, A
voter once informed him that he
vrould “sooner vote for the devil than
for Healy.” “But possibly your
friend may not turn up,” said “Tim,”
adding in a tone of mild inquiry:
“Perhaps you would support me
then?” y
In many of the cities of this coun
try are seen the lamentable effects of
swift, congested life, mourns the
Washington Star. There is no eco
nomic advantage in the dense concen
tration of life within small areas
such as is to be found in New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and
other cities, These closely compact
ed communities are in large measure
the result of the remarkable dynamic
force animating the American people.
It is a subjeft of deep concern with
the sociologists and political econo
mists who are studying domestic
problems. s
“The fez was the prescribed na
tional head-covering of" all Turkish
subjects,” writes Consul Jewett-from
Trebizond, “and even of foreigners
in the employ of Turkey. The hat
‘was seen here only when worn by for-:
eigners, and was the badge of extra
territorial rights and foreign protec
tion. Consequently there was very
little opportunity to sell hats and
caps in this country, Now these re
strictions have been removed, and
the people are free to cover their |
heads as they wish, I believé that
many will abandon the fez in favor
of hats and caps." There will be a
large sale of these goods in Turkey.”
¢ The first man to die in Virginia by
~officially administered electricity met

It Is a melancholy satisfaction to
know that this gruesome punitive
engine s in successful operation:
- Sclentific opinion seems agreed that
“electricity offers the most humane‘
“form of execution yet devised. The 1
";?.tlon of the tremendous voltage
~@witched through the living body is
=all but instantaneous; ln?enslblllty
scomes 80 quickly that there is no
‘time for death agonies. As the law's
purpose is not to torture the victim,
but merely to eliminate him from
society, electrical death is as accept
able to jurisprudence as.it is strong
ly preferred by the humanitarian,
It must strike some people as very
cuflous, says the Philadelphia Rge
ord, that we should hear of doings in
Japan before the events reported had
really happened. The reason is that
in our reckoning of time the day ends
and begins on a meridian_out in the
Pacific Ocean. When it is midnight
at Tokio it is approximately noon *
the same day in Philadelphia. The
news of the Battle of Manila reached
us apparently before it was fought,
the Jocal time in the Philippines be
ing twelve hours earlier than our
Joealtime. At the divisional meridian
out in the Pacific midnight of each
day occurs simultaneously with mid
night of the next; every day there is
a day lost, but, fortunately, the line
cdoes not pass through any habitations
ol men., Sea caplains crossing the
line tear an extra sheet off their
‘calendar pads and jump their lou
book entries suddenly one day aher
wthere is no further inconveneince.

has been made out by Mayor Dunbar
of Augusta by whom the proposed
amendment was conceived, and sub

erection of a levee - for - protection
against future disaster by flood. The
assessed tax valuation of the ecity's
‘ucome-bearing property is more than
$1,600,000, so it will be an easy mat

issuance of municipal bonds if the
amendment is ratified.

PROSPERITY WAVE FELT IN COUNTRY'S INDUSTRIES,
Railroads Plan Gigantic Improvements Costing Millions of
Dollars---National Prosperity Association, Having
5 .. - No More Work to Do, Disbands. T
: The certain return of prosperity is eloquently indicated in items
in the news of the past week.
From all over the country have come reports of the reopening of
factories after ten months of cessation. Whirring machinery tells of
the employment of thousands of men and women who have had nothe.
ing to do. :
While only a short while ago mills were running on half time,
to-day they are rushed with work and are giving employment to all
who apply.
Railroads are feeling the Aladdin-like touch of prosperity and are
planning to expend millions of dollars upon improvements. There has
been a loosening up of the money market so that funds to carry on the
gigantic projects contemplated are to be had readily.
Correspondents send in glowing reports of conditions in all the
manufacturing centres. In the Northwest, the South, the East—
everywhere there are signs of better times.
QOne positive evidence of the improvement in conditions is given
in the disbandment of the National Prosperity Association, of St. Louis.
Its chairman, E. C. Simmons, explained that now that prosperity is
&wiftly returning, there is no more work for the organizition to o o

News of @,Week That Shows "
sy i . B
: Evidence of Better Times
" Washington, D. @. — Reports re
ceived by the International Brother
heod of Operative Potters during the
week indicated a general opening up
of work everywhere in that industry.
The force at the Riverside Pottery at
Wheeling, W. Va., has been greatly
increased, and the firm is getting or
ders in a steady stream.
The Dresden Pottery is working at
full force. The Klondike Pottery will
have no slack time this winter, its
employes having all they can do. The
Sebring Pottery, at Sebring, 0., has
had the busiest November it has
known in years. It is expected that
the American China Company, of To
ronto, will operate steadily to the
¥year’s end.
The Union Buffalo Cotton Mills, of
Union, 8. C., which is said to operate
more looms than any other textile
corporation in the South, received
such a rush of orders that it will be
obliged to run all of its three im
mense plants to their fullest capacity.
This sets going 17,000 spindles and
800 lcoms, which were idle during
the summer. The mills employ 2000
men and women.
The Fales & Jenks Machine Com
pany, of Pawtucket, R. 1., employing
400 hands, began working on a fifty
five-hour-a-week szhedule. The fac
tory had been running on half time.
The Easton & Burnham Machine
Company, of Pawtucket, R. 1., started
its factory on full time, after running
on short time during the summer. It
employs 100 men.
Lumbermen of Tifton, Ga., report
that all the mills are booked with
enough orders to keep them going
full tilt for three months., Some are
declining orders until March 1.
The American Tobacco Company
agreed to take seventy-five per cent.
of the 60,000,000 pounds of tobacco
of the Burley Leaf Tobacco Society.
The deal involves $10,000,000.
After a shut-down of six months,
the Illinois Steel Company reopened
four of its plants at South Chicago,
700 men being put to work. Several
additional furnaces, requiring 500
men, wi]l be blown at once.
Prominent railroad men, including
Do\n?d G. Reid, of the Rock Island,
and g. C. Converse, of the-Baldwin
. Locomotive Works, and the United
Btates Steel Corporation started the
organization of a $2,000,000 corpora
tion to manutact\\gle steel. Most of
the bonds have been subscribed. The
works will be located near Gary, Ind.
+ Contracts were awarded by the
Orescent Steel and Wire Company to
construct & new plant at New Cor
nerstown, Ohio,
Invention of Great Importance to
Ironclads Exhibited in Germany.
Charlottenburg, Germany.—At a
‘meeting of the Le&ague of German
Naval Architects, Dr. Anschuetz
kaempfe, of Kiel, exhibited a compass
yithout a magnetic needle, which has
fiu been invented. It is in the form
of a gyroscope, which, when suspend
ed in a certain way, always adjusts
itself parailel to the earth’'s axis.
The invention is regarded as of
importance to ironciads, where
the compass needle is frequently de
flected by the adjacent metal. ~
The United States Steel Corpora
tion decided to erect a $3,000,000
plant at Monessen, Pa., in the Mo
nongahela Valley. !
The Schoen Steel Company, of
Pittsburg, announced that it would
take on 300 more men and spend sl,-
500,000 in improvements.
The National Tube Works, of Me-
Keesport, Pa., placed its plant on full
time.
The Westinghouse Electric Company
put all its departments on full time.

The American Woolen Company’s
mills at Moosup, Conn., are prepar
ing to run full time, after a bad pe
riod in which less than half time was
worked. £
The Michigan Lake Superior Power
Company, of Chicago, which suspend
ed because of the financial conditions,
started to reorganize, and it is expect
ed to resume within a few weeks.
Mills of the International Paper
Company, at Berlin, N. H., idle for
three months, reopened with a re
duced force.
J. D. Farrell, of Seattle, Wash.,
representative of E. H. Harriman, in
the Panific Northwest, has been called
to New York. Financiers and con
tractors say that railroad construc
tion work on a scale heretofore un
known is about to be inaugurated in
the Pacific Northwest. The North
Coast, Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul and Harriman system are the
three factors in the spending of mill
fons for a dominant position in Pu
get Sound and Northwest Coast.
Officials of the Lackawanna Rail
road announced that improvements
costing $25,000,000 will be begun
soon. Plans have been drawn for the
extension of the road to Chicago. The
electrification of the suburban lines is
contemplated.
Generally, the shipment of curren
cy, gold and silver to financial {nsti
tutions in rural distriets begins to de
cline in November, in accord with the
slackening of trade and the receipt of
money from abroad oy grain and cot
ton exportations. But confidential re
ports of the St. Louis reserve agents
show that the shipments to all cen
“res in the South and West are ale
most as large as last month. To the
growing trade and invigorating in
dustry is attributed the activity,
Conditions in thewhole South show
remarkable improvement.

Dancing Masters Solve Problem
of Clingsome Drapery.
Paris. —Women are now wearing
skirts so tight that old-fashioned
dances are impossible, and it became
imperative to devise means to meet
the crisis. If the present styles re
sulted in stopping dancing they would
deprive the dancing masters of a live
lihood.
They met, resolved and forthwith
decreed that waltzes, polkas and all
other dances be danced with shorter
steps until fashion gives women freer

Lace Curtains,
All lace curtains should be soaked
for at least an hour in cold water in
which a little borax has been dis
solved before putting them into warm
suds. This takes out the smoky odor
and softens the dirt.—New Haven
Register.
A Simple Insecticide,
Hot alum water is the best insect
destroyer, Put aluni into hot water
and let it boil until it is all dissolved;
then apply the solution hot with a
brush to all cracks, closets, bedsteads
and other places where any insects
are found. Ants, bedbugs, cock
roaches and other insects are Kkilled
by it; will not injure or poison.—
Boston Post.
Cleanser of Black Goods.
To remove spots from black ma
terial and to restore their freshness
prepare the following mixture: Take
ten cents’ worth of gum camphor,
break it in tiny pieces in a large
bowl; pour a quart of boiling water
over it, add to this five cents’ worth
of powdered borax. Bottle when cold,
leaving the undissolved camphor in
the mixture. Keep it tightly corked,
—New York Times.
Sand Soap.
Half a bar oi coarse sand soap
should always be kept within reach of
the right hand of every dishwasher.
Rub the half bar right on the bot
tom, both inside and outside, of all
saucepans and spiders. Follow this
with a scrubbing with a five cent sink
brush, kept up a little higher than the
wire soap dish for the sand soap, and
fashioned differently than the regu
lar brush used for the sink. By
training one’s self to always use both
sand soap and brush, pot and pan
washing is robbed of its much talked
of dislike. An occasional dipping of
the pan brush on to the cake of com
mon soap kept near will remove ev
ery vestige of grease.—New Havea
Register.
Sauce Bernaise.
Put two tablespoonfuls tarragon
vinegar in a saucepan, add eight
crushed bßlack peppercorns, two
chopped shallots and a tablespoonful
minced parsley. Cook five or six
minutes, then set aside to cool,
Break six eggs, separating the whites
from the yolks, and stir into the cold
vinegar, adding at the same time
four tablespoonfuls butter, cut in
small pieces. Set the small pan in a
larger one of hot water and as it
reaches the boiling point stir con
stantly until thickened. Add a tea
spoonful beef extract, dissolved in a
quarter cup hot water, season with
salt and a little grated nutmeg and
pour over the steak or whatever it is
to be served with.—New York Tele

- Invalid’s Tray Table.
It is often impossible for a sick
person to sit up in bed to eat from
the tray, and when this is the case,
it often is hard to put the tray in a
handy and yet comfortable position
for the invalid and in many cases the
person is so weak it tires them to
support the tray on the lap. A table
for an invalid tray car be easily and
auickly made by anyone. Select a
small folding table, such as is used
for sewing, and stand it Leside the
bed and saw off the legs on one end
even with the bedspread. Move the
table across the bed until the uncut
legs stand close to the bed and the
shortened legs rest on the bed and
make the table firm, In this way the
table is in the most convenient posi
tion, while it does not rest on the
person in bed or prevent the use of
the limbs. Another handy table for
the invalid’s use can be made from a
doll’'s table. Cut off all four legs so
that they are only about eight inches
long. This table may be placed over
the covered legs of the patient with
the legs of the table resting on the
bed on each side. These tables may
be folded up and placed standing
against the wall of a closet when not
in use.—Boston Post.
