The divorce law of Georgia is giving
her courts great deal Of annoyance in
many cases without giving the officers of
the courts any money. Hence the said
officers are trying to have provision
made by the Legislature for the prepay
ment OF oil costs. The lawyers will try
hard to defeat that measure, for it would
take too much from Othello' s occupation.
Georgia would do well to follow the ex-
ample of her little sister, South Carolina,
and repeal the divorce law entirely.

The News and Courier says:

adopted, and which it cordially approves
as bidding fair TO ''solve the crimes cues

objection that 1t permits those who have
money to commit certain crimes by pay.

have more provocation, perhaps, but less
money win have TO 60 to jail. No per-
son Of means win be deferred from carry

:" fear OF being compelled to pay fine Of

man, on the contrary, who has commit

prison for thirty days or 80, not because
hois more guilty, but because he has less
money. It looks very much like making
unlawful acts tho luxury of the rich and
orime of the poor" 2.
The Press and Banner in reply to the
above virtually admits that the News and
Cousier is correct, but we cannot see that
the reasoning of our Charleston contem-
porary IL so conclusive. According TO
section 2Ag9 of the General Statutes any
one who violates the concealed weapons
law may berequired to pay fine of 5000
and be imprisoned for twelve months.
II any wealthy bravado should show a
disposition to persist in violating this
law, you may rest assured the discretion
ary power of our most prudent Judges
would teach him that the luxury, besides
Being expensive, would be too inconven-

This discretionary power of the court
which adapts the law of punishment to |
the circumstances of each case, is q most |
wise provision. We're it otherwise, it
would no longer deserve the name of law |

Cur circuit judges have imposed fine of |
twenty five dollars on the prisoner, you
will SEQ that there were mitigating cir

would have led any fair minded man To

From the Grcenvillc News.I
The New Narrow GAUGE,


Greenville has had so many railroad
scares that it is hard to work uD ell
thusiasm in any scheme until it is ac-
tually here A not inconsiderable
number of people still lack faith in
the GreonyiMe and Laurcns roal, no
withstanding your announcement that
the work of building tressles and lay
ing cross-ties is already contracted
for and begun.
In view of these facts, it is surpris-
ing to find q very general confidence
III the new narrow gauge, although
only the preliminary steps have been
taken to organize u company to build
1T. A large number of cool headed
business men express themselves as
having more faith in this scheme
than they have had in any of the 9th;
crs. Its cheapness is captivating,
and its promise of profit nlluring.
In the country there seems to be
unbounded enthusiasm and much con-
tidence, and the people are ready to
go right ahead. But we would like
them to remember one thing. The
road will not be built for year yet,
and there are certain urgent needs of
the present. With two many of them
paint is needed, oils are needed and
glass is needed. Grass seed is need
ed (or should bc) by them all. Why
not go to Sloan Bros, Greenville, S.
g., and buy it at the lowest prices,
and OF the best quality? Respect,

Help the Free Schools,

MIR. EDITOR: I find in the county
siXty-six free public schools, and out
Of that number about thirteen are
supplemented by subscription and
run nine or ten months in the year.
Thus you see that the people are
depending barely upon the free
school fund to educate their children,
which is inadequate to the purpose.
All those who depend upon it will
find when too late that their children
are not educated In view of this
fact desire through your paper to
say few words in the way of advice
to the people of the county.
Think of it, are you going to have
n school in your community next
year to run all the year? If SO, it is
time you were getting up your teach
ers. They want to know what they
are going to do. If you have none in
view, let me know, I can cite you to
some good ones. Remember that
your children are growing up with
out an education, and after q while
it will be too late to give it to them.
1 beg you rs one who feels nm inter
est not only in the welfare of our
country, but in the education of your
children upon whom the future sue
cess OF our country depends, to give
your children a good English educa..
ton. Hard earned dollars might be
swept away by cyclones, floods, &c,
but an education cannot be taken
from them.
You know the many disadvantages
those are placed under who are not
properly trained and educated. Then
do not think of sending your chill
dren forth to fight life's battles with
out on education.
In some communities few of the
patrons stand as guarantee to tho
teacher for stated salary. In such
cases, would it not be we'll to make
the school free to all, with the under
standing that oil those who are able
shall pay their equitable share of the
teachers salary? BY so doing you
insure a school for all in your com
munity. Would this not be far cheap
er than to pay the price of crime
which is annually heaped upon us on
the account of all not being properly
trained and educated
Go, will you, to the State prison,
and my word for it, you will find that
nine tenths of the inmates are those
who have not been properly trained
and educated. just think of it, are
not the weak people the helpless ones
the dependents, those who have
not been properly trained and edu.
Gated. BY educating the masses, we
not only save to hepeople thousands
of dollars, but we greatly reduce
crime in our midst. And further,
we not only show them their relation
to church, State and society, but it
tends to raise all to the highest level
OF society. All of which tends to
lessen crime in every conceivable
way. LABAN MAULD1E.

The bile wroaks grievous injury. Hoad-
aches, constipation, pain i'll the liver and

doses of Hostettor's Stomach Bitters will
reform these evils and prevent further in

to disregard disorder of that organ, which

Bitters should be resorted to ut an early

Handling Boots and Shoes as we
do, and the immense quantity that it
takes to supply our jobbing and Re-

1t places us in first hands, while
those who handle less quantities must
