WIFE BEATERs.

Wife-beaters and non-supporters
of their families violate the law as
much so as Migrants or thieves, and
as such should be dealt with and
made to protect and provide for their
wives whom they swore to love and
cherish. There are men in all com
munities who go home and abuse.

wives, feeling that they are doing
something big and brave. God save
the mark Such towards and brutes
In human form lack all the elements
OF brave men and prove themselves
arrant towards in striking a weak
and defenseless woman. Many OF
such characters are too lazy to be
industrious and impose burdens upon
the women Of their household to work
and support themselves and their
worthless husbands, when it is clear
ly their duty as the heads of fami-
lies to clothe and feed and provide
decent support for those depend

the law Of the land means andintends
that every man, white or black, shall
work and use his money judiciously
in supplying the comforts and neces-
sites Of life for his wife and chill
dren, that they may not become de-
pendents upon the charitably-inclin-

ty. 1t is the duty OF every citizen
TO report such cases to officers and
Grand Juries that these offenders
may be dealt with as they deserve
and as the law may direct. 1t is
only in the correction OF such inhu-
name abuses that homes can be made
happy, and thriftless vagabonds can
be required to respect the rights OF
others and the law Of the land, and
thereby made better citizens.

CONGRESSMAN CLEMENTS.

Congressman Clements is reported
by viii }. Neel, Washington CORES
pendent of the Gainesville Courant
as being in favor Of tax reform. On
internal revenue, Mr.. Clements says !:
PERSONALLY he would be glad to
see the internal revenue system
abolished, if such action could be
had without interfering with the re-
duction of tariff on the necessaries of
life; but to abolish the revenue laws
would be to cut off about S120,00O.-
600 from the Treasury, thus practi-
cally preventing any reduction of du-
ties on such necessaries as every
man is compelled to have in order to
live. He thought it would be mis-
take to reduce the tax on whisky,
while coal, iron, steel, rice, sugar,
and WOODEN clothing were taxed from
20 to 90 per cent. Mr.. Clements
thinks it probable that the tax on
tobacco, which has come to be re-
garded as practical necessity, will
be abolished, and very probably the
tax on wine and brandy revised but
whisky will be made to continue to
pay tribute to the support of the
government.

LET THEM COME.

Augusta InfOnlCle.
This country can never reach its
full development until it commands
enough people to work it up. The
need of this section is people rather
than money. Georgia wants twice
as many inhabitants as it now has.
The State has farms to till, stock
ranges to fill up, water power to util-
ize and mines to work. She needs
farmers and skilled artizans more
than anything else. Georgia alone
should have two millions more to aid
in the development of the State.
Whether they come from home or
abroad, they will find welcome and
room in the sunny South. Religion
and politics have nothing to do with
the reception of the immigrant. Let
them come from barren New Eng
land, the unpropitious West, or from
over-crowded monarchies OF Europe
it is understood that this State has
a home and employment for them all.

Some people kill themselves be-
cause Of their poverty, and others
commit suicide because they can t
stand prosperity. There are a great
many people who can't stand pros
perity. The late Andrew Shelter,
Of Philadelphia, was one of them.
His uncle lett him SO, 900 two years
ago, and last January another rela-
tive left him $4,000. This acquisi-
ton Of wealth knocked him off his
balance to the extent that he gave
himself up to the excuses which he
felt able to indulge, and few days
ago he became SO respondent that he
took his life.
