SUNDAY, SEPT. 19 THOUGHT PMIIS S ! COT-TiSIT CITY PARlS —Evioisrtly a provincial a mild looking gentleman took a taxicab and #rore to Chartres. On the wav back he stopped the car, got out and ran. The l chauffeur rushed after him and collar ed him. clamoring for ’his fare. “Here take $100,” shrieked the gentleman, handing him a pccketbook, "and give me back the reat, or, if you prefer, keep it all, but let me go." The chauffeur opened the vrnllet and found $9,000 in it in bills. He eumg to his man. called the polio? ar.if gave him in charge. At the police station the man refused to cay who he was or whence he came, or how he had obtained‘ the $9,000, and he was accordingly kept in jail. Next day he spoke, and gave his name and his address, near Bordeaux, aud said that the $9,000 were the proceeds of a sale of land which he had drawn from his lawyers in Paris. Inquiries proved his statements to be Oflrrect. “Then, why on earth all this trouble?'' arked the police commissary. *'i was afrnid. In the provinces we hear so much about the robberies and the murders in Paris that we ore accustom ed to look upon Paris as a den of cut throats. I thought the chauffeur meant to murder me.” The provincial gentleman was nat\i | rally released, and now perhaps will I believe tT*at Paris Is not quite as danger ous as it is thought in his village to be. 7 Th» fun Is that the Paris paper whirl ♦fH* this story says "mea culpa’’ aftei It. “Why do we always tel! such horrid tales of Paris—of apaches, murderers rnd thieves? Country cousins take nil we say for gospel, and v/hat is the re sult? All France believes Paris to be ?, den of cutthroats. Bet us curb our bloodthirtsy imn urinations.” The confession i 3 as naive almpst as the funk of the country cousin.

WILL REARRANGE THE FRENCH NAVAL FORCES i PARIS—From October 1 next a rear i rangcment will be made of the French naval forces. In the future the Medi terranean and northern squadrons will not remain as completely distinct and in dependent or as rigorously confined to their resepetive waters as heretofore, and more frequent concentrations of the whole force will be effected. The strength of the two squadrons will, moreover, be equalized. Six bat taleships of an earlier class will pass from Toulon to Brest, the Meditterra nean squadron retain!, g only the six newest battleships. Each squadron will comprise six battleships and four first class cruisers. Borne naval critics are up In arms against this distribution and equalizing of the naval forces in the Channel and the Meditteranean. Their argument 1b that, as the British fleet commands the Channel, France, owing to her friendship with England, should on the contrary, concentrate in the Mediterranean. It is pointed out that, as a matter of fact, orS?. of the reasons why England has massed h*r largest fighting force In the \ Channel is because France centred hers I in the Mediterranean. She has at present twelve battleships at Toulon, whereas after October 1 she will have only six there, where they would be most necessary, and six at Brest, where they will be comparatively superfluous. The earn* critics argue that to talk of concentrating two squadrons, one at Toulon and the other nt Brest, on the outbreak of war !•* absurd, and they point , to the present nival policy of the Brit ish Ai! v5-.*'ty ar having explod 'd such I ancient liciios of dlrsrmiitnled forces.

W. Wardlaw, Troy, S. C. (Continued from page two). Already the streets have been beau tified and made attractive by fine grad- Ing and ornamentation. The churches, A. R. P., Baptist and Methodist, have been greatly improved, and the school opens promisingly. There are active orders, as A. F. M., K. of P., and W. O. W. A landmark doing credit to real es tate handling and to its present owner, Mr. Lites, is the immense sales and livery stable. Such Improvements are encouraging other purchasers. While land is moder ate in price, It is in demand, and no town I know’ of offers a better chance for a safe investment. Watkins, the obliging porter of the hotel, finds time for a little side-line in the way of a store. We may hope that as Troy grow? the great grove, so well known to visitors, may remain intact. I am wondering if there is any con nection between the two facts that Mr. Lites was 26 years postmaster here, and is still a bachelor? So is Mr. Jas. B. Yarbrough, and I can't understand why In either case. It was a deprivation to me to be un abte to visit the homo of Rev.

P WITH UNITED STATES fcFtench Goods Restricted f By United States and in • Tijfrn France Restricts American Goods. \ PARIS.—What may prove to be the iflrst preliminary skirmish In a war of tariffs with the United States has just been performed by France. A government* decree has been Issued which, as a reply to a similar measure taken by America, repeals all previ ous enactments, which allowed to American Imports Into this country the benefit of the minimum tariff. From November 1 next all goods from the United States coming Into l France will pay the rates of tlje French "general tariff," that Is to say, the highest duties chargeable. The question Is, whether the United States will not retaliate, In which case France will, have no weapon left for a second blow unless she revises and THE AUGUSTA HERALD Which Would You Buy, A Policy Like This, Which Carries Life, Disability, Accident and Health insurance, or one Like Your Grandfather Used to Buy?

Yet the general feeling against the action of the United States Is very strong In trade circles. The only business which prefers the ne.w tariff jto the old one Is that of picture dealing, which, very heav ily penalized In the past, is now to be more mercifully handled. In tlje Interest of at. least temporary peace, the French government, while issuing the above decree, Is at tbe same time beginning negotiations w,ith the Unit ed States In the endeavw to obtain a prolongation of the present status quo until August, or at leawt March, 1 1910. If these negotiations pr,ove sue* cpssful, the tariff war would not be gin until one of those dates.
