Attorney General Davidson

a considerable following, and this is
the question which the prohibition^
ists are bound to put to themselves;
"Will we take an 'anti’ who is a sub-
missionut and thus insure the defeat
of Colqnitt, or will we fight it out
without compromise under Johnson?”
If they are politicians, they will take

that of Mist Maggie Neal, the talent-

who remarks; “It is impossible to

Just now we are keeping only a little

We admire a man who, when be
has a grievance or feels that be has,
has the courage and manhood to come
right up and file hit complaint and
and if he has been wronged demand
restitution. People are often es-
tranged through lack of this quality by
men who get an impression that they
have been wronged and go about the
earth hugging imaginary injuries
against good friends, who notice the
change and wonder what brooght 1t
about. If some one has mistreated
you go and tell him so and specify
when, where and how. If he will not
make good bawl him out and scratch
him from your Mat. If he makes
good with apologies, explanations or
corrections, give him your hand and
thank him tor setting you right. Men
too often nurse the recollection of a
wrong while many deeds of kindness
are afttoo soon forgotten.—Gran-

We are anchored in La Pa* Bay just
at the entrance to Pichilinque harbor
where the United States maintain*
coaling station. The ship left San
Francisco harbor October 31 and af-
ter steaming through tailor made
weather, we reached Pichilinque and
immediately started repairing the
coaling plant. This coaling station is
not used ranch and ha* not been taken
care of, so everything about it is
pretty badly run down, and we were
sent here to fix it up. It is located oh
an island that forma one side of Pich-
ilinque Harbor, and contain* the big
iron sheds for storing the coal,
railroad with dump car* for loading
lighter* from the dock that rant out
in the bay, a marine railway for haul
ing out and repairing the coal barges,
a caretaker*# house, and all the pumps
and piping necessary for fire protec-1
tion. When we got here, we found
three thousand tons -of -oal afire in-
side the sheds, the roof* of the shed*
badly hi need of repairs, the railroad
pretty badly rusted away and the can
broken np, the caretaker’* house in a
leaky condition, three coal barges
tank, the marine railway parity fallen
with mi old coal barge op top
of k, and most of the water piping
rusted away. We brooght down nine
workmen from Mars ! eland, and they,
with moat of the crew, were started
in to work the morning after our
arrival, and all the work is going

THE RICE MARKET
id for Week of Fair Propor-
Demand for the week has been of
fair proportions, buyers taking freely
for immediate wants, which sre by no
means small for the season Assort-
ments are unusually attractive, and
price* reasonable, aa compared with
the general run of breadstuff*, and
much cheaper than many staple foods.
Japan sorts are over one cent lower
and Honduras styles )4 cent lower
than last year, equal date.
Advices from the South Atlantic
note dull condition* on the Atlantic
Coast, stocks accumulating, the small
movement reported being at % to
)-§ cent decline In prices. At New
Orleans, the market is sluggish, and,
holders have shaded prices, to induce
business, but with comparatively lit-
tle response and consequent increase
ol cleaned stock. -
In the Interior, Southwest Louisi-
ana and Texas, a fair movement is re-
ported. Millers are disposed to go
slow in buying rough rice, as in many
instances current prices of cleaned
hardly bear out cost and expense*
