A verdict of death from tight lacing
comes from a Birmingham jury, ex-
pressed as a verdict of "'Death from
pressure round the waist The subject
was q servant girl who died after q
fright, and her death was attributed by
the medical witness to the fact that she
was laced too tightly to enable her to

it was impossible to loosen it at the criti-
cal moment. Under her corsets she
wore a. tightly buekled belt.

''I think there is no better vocation for
man than that of a market gardener
who has his headquarters in the outskirts
of growing American city, - said a
well known business man. everybody
knows that the filling of the soil is
healthful occupation, and that fresh
vegetables are always in demand
at profitable prices a gardener
must work pretty hard, though not
so hard as the regular farmer,
and ne bass~the satisfaction of making
more money in proportion to his labor
aud invested capital. Then the growth
of the city is always bringing him nearer
the center of population and the land is
growing more and more valuable for
residence purposes. The land is the
greater part of the market gardeners
business plant, and when that trebles
and quadruples in value in eight or ten
years, it is immensely better than worn
out machinery or the legacy of a mantfA
featuring business. e
. ''At the close of the war and for about
seven or eight years afteFRard, seoge
or more of market gardeners settled ins
the outskirts of the city. TheJ were
mostly Germans, with sprinkling of
Englishmen and Irishmen. They are
all, or nearly all, in prosperous cireum-
stances to-day. The land all around
Detroit is pretty good, and they settled
from three to Ave miles from the city

SOMETHING WRONG

The following article, taken from the
editorial columns of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, is worthy the careful considera-
ton of statesmen and economists:
We have Il, 900, 900 more people than France,
and so much more land that there is no compar-
ison between the two countries.
Yet France has 5, 900, 600 proprietors of small
farms and 2 GOO GOO proprietors of real estate in
towns and cities, whereas in the United States
we have not altogether more than 5000, 600
landed proprietors.
If, in proportion to population, we had as
many landowners and small farmers as there are
in France, this entire country would be a gar
den-a land Of happy homes.
In some way the people now drifting to the
cities must be induced to. try their fortunes in
the country, where they. can own their farms
and be Independent. The small farmers of
France manage to live and save money. They
have money to lend to the government and to
invest in the Panama canal and other enter
prises. Our farmers can do as well with scien-
tiic methods, industry and economy,
The movement to the cities must not only be
stopped, but ways and means must be found to
start movement from the cities to the country.
How to do this is problem, but the people are
thinking about it and discussing it, and
thoughtful discussion is always a hopeful sign
Texas sometime ago arrived at the con-
clusion that the most prosperous state
was the one in which the most people
owned their homes and farms, and so
has thrown guards around her public
lands to keep them from falling in large
bodies into the hands of sYndicates and
to preserve them for the actual settler

The case of the Florida man who had
his love letters produced and read in

In single postscript the Florida man

IT is interesting to note the various
criticisms on the wanamaker-W Western
Union correspondence. Some of the
papers, determined to see nothing but
good in a Republican administration,
give him fulsome and unqualified praise;
others, blind to anything but bad, blame
him without stint. Others take middle
ground and discuss the matter in fair

That sterling Democratic paper, the Lex
ion Gazette, of which Mr.. E. III. Barclay is
the editor and proprietor, is out in a new
and handsome dress and with apretty title
head to match. The ability with which
the Gazette handles public questions, COM
bined with it's excellence as a news gather
Ell, makes it worthy of any success that
may attend it. Its influence in the recent
booming of the resources of Rockbrldge
was marked, and it's county owes it much
for the vigorous help it has given the de-
yelopment of it's material interests. The
editor of the Gazette and his energetic and
accomplished assistant, Mr.. HUMPHREYS,
have made first rate paper and one Oh
which the citizens of Rockbridge may con-
graduate themselves.
