Austin, Feb._ . .7. — Governor
Colquitt late yesterday again
emphasized'the policy of econ-
omy of hi£ administration when
/ he wrote a letter to Comptroller
Lane in which he disapproved of
any bill providing the appro-
. priatiqn of a lump sum to meet
'deficiencies *in the various de-
partments. Mr. Lane had ad-
vised the governor that "there
were claims against the state
amounting to $1,000 for fees .for
sheriffs, clerks and attorneys in
felony cases, and that the spec-
ial appropriation for that pnr-
„ pose had become exhausted.' He
wanted these claims paid out of
the $100,000 appropriated by
the Thirty first legislature for

also that he does not approve of

officials. >
A Beauty's Recipe.

but a good toilet soap, and

a teaspoonful of oat meal tied in

soap and rub it right on your
face; don't be afraid of it—use
plenty, and spread it on until ft
has formed a heavy lather; you
cannot use too much if it is good
soap. Of course it must be wash-
ed off, but-you can use a great
many waters and it will all come

put plenty of borax to soften the

German Railway Rates
According to an able article in
a current publication, by Elmer
Roberts, the German national
railway supervision haspprepared
a. tariff rate book for the com-
bined rail and sea xouts of Ger-
many and' other countries. So
simply has this book been at ran-
ged that even the layman can
understand it.
It opens the way for a sim-
ilar policy in this country for the
advantage of it is apparent to all
who follow the weekly consular
reports of our international com-
merce.
As Mr. Roberts explains, a
merchant at Burgas, Smyrna or
Galatz, in the Far East, asks.of
an American maker, in Grand
Rapids, Mich., and o? a German
maker, in Cobourg, the price on
100 refrigerators, inclusive of
freight and all other charges,
delivered at his port.
The Grand Rapid firm, if it
has never before shipped to
Smyrna, Burgas or Galatz, must
make wide inquiries, taking
much time and trouble before
being able to determine approx-
imately what the fr*ansportain,
terminal aud forwarding charges
by rail and steamer will be. He
will-probably not be able to as-
certain exactly what these
charges will be. After delays
that may prevent him from get-
ting the order, he is obliged to
name a price that will cover the
wire his answer or write it.
He need hot leave his desk to
ascertain what will be the rate
on any commodity to-any part of
the world.
. The railway administration of
Germany also becomes respon-
sible, in connection with the
steamship companies, for the
delivery of shipment so that the
shipper when he has paid the
frieght charges, need give him-
self no further concern.

Now that our trade with Ger-

be advisably to. compile such a
rate book for the American man-

The essential facts in the above
transaction are that the shipper

he is able to have the govern-
ment look after: the delivery of
goods without further bother to

Farmers, Attention!
Every farmer should have a
seed , patch of both corn and
cotton. Ginrun cotton seed
will not give big yields, nor will
crib-run corn, You can not al-
ways buy the seed that will
yield best on particular soil.
All admit that in live stock, it
is important to get well-bread
parents to have first-class off-
spring. The same rule applies
with seed.
If every stalk of corn' and
cotton yielded as much as the

be good. ..Seed, selection is
