KstJssJLi&Sji o I 'S The New York Tribune says: The South furnishes the first sacrifice of, this war. Ensign Bagley was a native of- North Carolina. With his blood he has sealed the union in arms of the North and South A people who once fought against the stars and stripes’send one of their sons as the first sacrifice for the honor and glory of that 11 ig. There is no North and no South after that. We are all Worth Bagley’s countrymen. o o o Here’s the forceful way in which the Brunswick Times discourses on a timely subject: The methods adopted by Col Candler’s opponents are as doubtful as the source from which they proceed. For exam ple, it is not long ago that the Griffin Daily News went out of its way to accuse our Uncle Al len of having failed to pay his municipal taxes for 1870. Asa matter of fact, the record shows that afi fa was issued against Col. Candler for arrears of taxes, amounting to $3 40 for the year in question, which was subse quently taken up. Twenty-eight years ago Col. Candler was a very’ poor man, but he never saw the day when he was as poor in spirit as are the free lances who are seeking in vain tn detract from a strong and rugged personality which com pletely dwarfs their own. o o o The hatching of fish eggs in China is accomplished by the use of unsuspecting hens. The spawn is cealed in an egg shell and placed under the h n for a few days, at the end of which time the contents of the shell are emptied into a shallow pool. There they can bask in the sun shine until the minnows are stiong enough to be turned into a lake or river. o o o Mark Twain, in his graphic description of his brief Career as a private in the Confederate ar my, said: “We never won any victories to speak of. We never could get the enemy to stay still when we wanted to fight, and when the enemy felt like fighting we vere generally on the move. ” o o o An American with a camera greatly displeased the late Pres ident Crespo, of Venezuela, by taking a picture of him in which the face appeared quite dark. Crespo was more Indian than negro, but he was very sensitive about it. LEITER TO RETIRE. The retirement of Joe Leiter from the » beat pit is definitely announ ced, It is said that he is to desert “puts and calls” fvr rents and leases. Having made his millions, he purpos s takit g a long vacation in his new steel yacht, and will take with him his' confidential adviser, Mr. B French. The Leiter cash wheat deal is certainly without a parallel iu the history of this or any other coun try. Itsvastness has been a matter of astonishment to even the vete rans of the wheat pit, but the most remarkable part of all was the ab sence of the usual gambling fea tures. From first to last its tran sactions were plain buying and selling. Whether these gigantic operations have done good or harm to the wheat industry would b° hard to discover. At least they have had the saving grace of being fa’r and square. If you appreciate a good tea, you can get it at Lloyd’s. No lead package to poison you.
