THE WEATHER Auguata and Vicinity. Fair wnather with alowl' rlaliut teni iHMHturo tonight and Tuesday; froat to night. South Carolina and Georgia. Fair weather with alowl’. rising tem BLINDED BY HIS OWN WITS It is scarcely to Mr. Underwood's credit that he fails to see the reason for repealing the Panama tolls exemp tion clause. The question has been so thoroughly thresh ed out now that only those who arc exceedingly dull and those who are exceedingly clever can fail to get the straight of it. All matters involving moral problems grow clearer to the public the longer they remain before the public’s attention, Mr. Underwood, having given ample proof that he is no dullard is now intent upon showing his exceed ing cleverness in missing the point. It is not an uncommon thing to find men of able and subtle minds blinded to principles which are as clear as noonday to those less gifted with mental agility. Fancy, for instance, how logically and interestingly an acrobatic contortionist might argue, were he so inclined, as to the actual shape and situation of the furniture, and wall hang ings. Nimble witted folk have a way of running around cor ners and standing on their heads to get a particular point of view and then proclaiming the thing as they see it, truth. Mr. Underwood says that he sees “no real dis tinction between a ship loaded at Duluth going through the ‘€ault Ste Marie Canal without lockage charges * * * and a ship starting from the port of San Francisco and go ing through the Panama canal free of tolls.” But whether or not Mr Underwood so fixes his mind as to miss this distinction, it is clearly visible to all who care to look at it in a straight forward simple way. The difference in this case is not in the ships, 30 much as in the canals. At the Sault Ste Marie, all ships are upon an nbsolute equality. Whether Canadian Ships, American Ships or Railroad Owned Ships, each one goes free through the canal. But, under the special favor of this proposed subsidy to American Coastwise ships, the Cana dian Coastwise will be charged $1.20 a ton and Rail road owned ships will not be permitted to go through the canal at all. In addition to imposing an injustice upon American tax payers and discriminating especially against such of them as happen to be interested in railroads, this spec ial favor to American Coastwise shipping interests- Which already are greatly favored by laws prohibiting competi tion from foreign lands—Would force us to ignore our treaty with Great Britian and pr.t u* in the position of a “Welcher” among Nations. It takes a great deal of ingenuity to avoid seeing the real distinctions in this case and we trust that Mr. Un derwood’s ingenuity will not measure up to this test. We can respect a man who retires from a false position, but we have no admiration whatsoever for the man who stubbornly continues in error,when he has the intelligence and the honor to guide him out of it.

This Is the mason why the past has such magical power: the beauty of its motionless and silent pictures Is like the enchanted purity of late autumn, when the leaves, though one breath would make them falT, still giow against the sky In golden glory. The past does not change nor strive; ilka Duncan, after life’s fitful fever, it sleeps well; what was eager and grasping, what was petty and transi tory, has faded away; the thing* that were beautiful and eternal shine out of it like stars In the night. Its beauty, to a soul not worthy of it. is unendurable; but to a soul which has conquered Fate, the Past is the key oi religion TWELVE REASONS FOR MORE LIVE STOCK (John A. Spoor In the Kansas Industrialist.) 1. Because it will pay. 2. Because the country needs more meat. ;j. Because the soil needs more fetrlllser. 4. Because the raising and feeding of livestock on farms enhances sou fertility Soil fertility is the tounda tlon of agricultural prosperity, and agricultural prosperity is the basis of general prosperity. 5. Because neither corn prices nor land values can be maintained with out the raising and feeding of live stock on farms. t>. Because livestock utilizes farm waste and turns it into money. 7. Because livestock condenses values on tile farm; can walk to the market or snipping point; cau lie transported and marketed at less ex pense; and realties greater net re turns than un\ other farm products. 8 Because tile market demands younger animals for slaughter. !• Because pure bred stock is now selling at relatively low prices, and those who stock up first and stay in longest will reap the greatest rewards in Improved herds and more profit able returns. 10. Because association with do mestic animals on the farm is essen tial to the right development of the character and practical knowledge and ability of children. 11. Because the presence of live stock inspires a love for the farm, and tends to prevent desertion of tae farm for the city. 12. Because it Is every farmers sacred duty to leave his farm in at least as good condition as when he found It, for use by future genera tions.

MOORE (By Hanry P. Moore.) Gan. Nathan Bedford Forreat. fieri. Natbfin Bedford Forrest, the Confederate cavalry commander, had views which coincided with those of Napoleon Bona part, regarded by many the greatest military geniua the world has ever produced. He announced the proposition that the grand secret of success In war was “to get there first with the most men." Ills plan of attack, was when practical, to mass his troops In solid column and break the centre, thereby doubling lip the wings. Both of these were cardinal princi ples of the French Kmperor, and a close observance of the same often brought victory to the French eagles In the great battles for which his ca reer uu sdlstiriguished. Forrest was unquestionably a genius In the art of war. His strategies were unsurpassed by any other military leader In history- and all the tactics In the field thut he pursued were Na poleonic in brilliancy both as regards conception as well as execution. And this too was the outcome of spontaneous suggestion, for his mind was totally untrained in military af fairs and he had no knowledge of the famous examples that history affords that have been employed of this char acter. By reason of this same fact, his mind accustomed to independent thought and action, was restive under restraint, and totally disregurdful of the rules of army discipline or the au thority of bis superiors in command. The Surrender of Fort Donaldion. <len. Forrest, following the natural bent of his mind, formed three sepa rate and distinct cavalry organizations in order to escape the dictation of those in supreme command and with whose policy he was not in accord. At the surrender of Fort Henry and Fort Donaldson, two very Important posts on the Cumberland river, there was discord, with divided authority. There was a council of war held and articles of capitulation drawn up (Sen. Forrest, realizing the strategic importance of the points, which form ed the key to Nashville, Tenn., and the whole of a large territory - in the south east. was in favor -wf fighting on to the last extremity. Finding that his counsels were over ruled, and thut the other officers were determined to surrender he refused to sign the articles of capitulation and consequently his command was not in cluded. He then proceeded to mass his men in dense columns as was his wont, and they rushed out with an igipetuosity that knew no slaying and cut their way through the surrounding forces of Federal*. The attending losses of (Jen. Forrest'k successful sortie were small, very small, in comparison to the magnitude of the accomplishment or the numbers of the opposing forces. One of the South's Greatest Stronghold*. The loss of Fort Henry and Fort Donaldson, was almost irreparable, ns the situation was one of great natural strength, and which had been careful ly fortified with a view of defending a large section of country which was the source of supplies upon which our armies subsisted. Without the knowledge that experi ence brings or that is acquired by a military education, Gen. Forrest's big stock of native inteligence and hard headed common sense told him of the folly of surrendering the stronghold and abandoning to the enomy the large and productive territory it de fended. It was like going into battle with your right arm cut off to continue the war with your smoke-houses and gratneries gone together with the pastures from which the horses and mules were drawn to supply the armies of the Confederacy. Forrest Makes a Big Capture. Forrest’s sagacity was never more strikingly illustrated than by the man ner in which he captured Col. A. D. : Streight and his entire command of 1.80(1 men with a force insignificant in strength as compared to the Federals. The affair occurred near Rome, Ga., in 18(12, Streight had been sent with a de tachment of cavalry on a raid through portions of Mississippi, Tennessee and Northeastern Alabama. He had cross ed the Tennessee and had penetrated the mountainous portion of Alaban a practically unobstructed. Meantime Forrest had collected a force variously estimated at from 500 to 800 men, with which he made a show in Streight’s front, his object being to draw him as far front his base of supplies as possible. In these circumstances things be gan to wear a dubious aspect to the Federal commander. A hunch of wild and ragged troopers In front and a long desolate road behind nnd pro visions getting mighty tow! Such was tiie forbidding prospect. > Around and Around. Waiting till they got near Rome. Da., Forrest made a demand upon the Fed - erals to surrender Struck with a i asement at the audacity of the lit tle handful making such a demand. Streight wanted to know where the demand came from. Putting his troops in motion around a spur or round knob of a hill so that the parusing column composed of the same men, Forrest made his little handful look a great army. Relng deceived liy the appeuranoe of great numbers of horsemen, accompanied by detachments of artillery and infantry, Streight surrendered his command of 1,800 men » imagine his chagrin and mortifica tion at finding the force of t'onfed cratvs was scarcely adequate for a guard to take them in charge and dis arm them. Col. Streight was sent to the Libby prison at Richmond, whore he was held as a hostage for the safety of Hen John Morgan, the Confederate raider who penetrated far up into the northeastern part of Ohio and was captured while attempting release the Nothing Looks as Cheap as a Cheap Hat.

Pweets clog the digestion even more In summer than In winter, and I want rnv beauty-loving girls to foreswear them or partake very moderately. Lemonade and weak iced tea are good summer drinks, better than the more elaborate beverages that pour from the soda fountain.

Forrest Routs Gen. 3ooy Smith. I’nder the direction of the Federal general, Sherman, Gen. William Sooy I Smith, who had been operating In I Mississippi with a force of cavalry estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 men, had gotten beyond Okalona when they were confronted by Gen. Forrest with About 5,000 raw recruits. Forrest immediately ordered his men to “go to fighting." Tiie Federals soon began to give wav and a retreat was sounded A running fight was started which wound up with a rout. Forrest sent detachments by side roads to cut them off and harrass their flanks, meanwhile, Forrest kept charg ing their front and pressing them back. Forrest pressed them through Oka lona and ten miles beyond to a ridge on the Ivey Farm where the Federals attempted to make a stand. Here Col. George E. Waring. Jr., on the Federal side made a charge which Gen. For rest spoke of in the highest terms of praise. A counter charge was made by Col. Jeoffrey Forrest, who lost his life wlille leading his tmen. The death of Col. Forrest, a brother of the general, put an end tb the fighting and the Federal raiders reach ed Memphis In a badly demoralised condition.
