Love OF home, says Judge Howell
Cobb, is the tap-root of moral and
material growth. Make rural homes
attractive and abiding. Build the
structure of southern character and
civilization in the future, as in the
past, upsn this foundation stone, the
purity and prosperity of rural homes.
To this end cultivate content with
independence, born of toll and thrift.
Support the rural homes with ele-
ments OF permanent prosperity, di-
versify products, magnify grain and
minlty cotton, grow grapes, breed
bees, plant orchards and vineyards,
make nea lows, raise horses, cattle,
sheep, swine, poultry, etc. Make
bread and meat and make money.
BE honest and be happy. These
products in abundance and cotton in
moderation are the elements of pros
porous southern rural homes. They
will make our beautiful southland
blossom as the rose, and give peace
and plenty to our farmers.

a newspaper IN Ohio recently
brought suit against forty-three men
who would not pay their subscrip.
tons, and obtained Judgment in
each case for the amount of each
claim. Of these twenty-eight made
affidavit that they owned no more
than the law allowed, thus prevent
ing attachment. Then under the
decision of the Supreme Court, they
were arrested for petty larceny and
bound over in the sum of $500 each.
All but six gave bond while six went
to Jail. The new postal law makes
1t larceny to take paper and re-
fuse to pay for it.

MILTON TO MARIETTA.
Railroad Meeting Next Tuesday Night
at the Court House.

Alpharetta is very much in earn
est about building a railroad to Ma
rietta. The town has been in the
oackwoods long enough and wants
to expand and grow with the pro-
gressive enthusiasm Of the times.
This is commendable spirit and
one if persisted in will accomplish
its purpose. No town can ever
hope to be much without a railroad.
They prove a stimulus to growth
and development. Milton county is
a rich agricultural section, much
more desirable for boomers to set
tie in that Oklahoma. Like Cobb,
she has soil as fertile and people
as honorable and Industrious as you
will find anywhere. We would like
very much to see Marietta and AL
pharetta linked together with bands
OF iron. The people are being stir
red on the subject and are sub
scribing very literally in Milton to
grade the twenty miles and they
hope Marietta will feel interested
enough to help them. Once graded
capitalists stand ready to build the
road broad guage and equip it. This
is encouraging, and should induce
our people to render assistance. Let
the road be build direct to Marietta
not above or below it-otherwise
it will not meet the wishes of our citi-
zens. Here it can connect with the
W. & A. r. r. and the NJ. & N. G.
II. r., both, and thus be of more
practical benefit and Of greater use
tulness. The purpose is strong to
build the road and there should be
no relaxation of effort until it is ac-
complished.
The citizens OF Alpharetta have
held several meetings, appointed
committees and are fully aroused to
the importance of building the road.
A survey is now being made and
will be finished by next week. A
delegation of citizens will visit our
city next Tuesday and a public
meeting will be held at the Court
House on that night, April Both, at
y o'clock, to which everybody is
invited. Let our people turn out
and show an interest in this impor-
tant enterprise. Don't forget the
time-next Tuesday night at the
Court House. Tell your friends to
come and be there yourself.

A special from Boston says: "a
lady who is suffering from temper
airy insanity recently went through
an experience that would have been
considered impossible had she been
in her right mind. She lives at No.
80 Waltham street. On Saturday
she eluded her watchers, made her
way to the roof and crawled down to
the gutter. Then she walked along
that narrow platform a distance of
several houses, occasionally stopping
and looking down at the people,
whose faces she could see four stor-
les below. A Mr.. Cox headed her
off and persuaded her to follow him
into the house by telling her she
had reached her journeys end. The
rescue was quietly accomplished,
and the woman was restored unin-
jured to her panic-stricken

respects. A far better answer was given
today in Parliament by Count Schonborn,
the Minister OF Justice. He told the
House that an order was sent out on jan
uary IL to the public prosecutors in
this country are the press censors-to he
more discriminating IN the conflscation OF
newspapers. The result was that only l47
newspapers had been confiscated since the
issue'of that order, against 2S4 in the
previous three months Herr Menger,
who is a Christian, replied to this; III
you confiscate at all, why do you allow
newspapers to write that the Jews are
butchering Christian children? Papers are
conhscated for attacking this or that ma
tionality, criticising this or that official;
but when they hur such accusations
against more than a million loyal citizens,
your censors shut their eyes and carry out
your mild Decree"
1t must be admitted that the govern
ment, in allowing the anti-Semites free
hand, acts in harmony with tho views Of
nine-tenths OF the non-Jewish population.
II general election took place tomorrow
in Vienna, an overwhelming majority OF
the voters-who do not include artisans or
laborers--would declare in favor OF the
anti-Semites. Recent elections, whether
Parliamentary or civic, show incontestably
that The Jews committed great mistake
in falling TO assert their constitutional
rights five years ago, when the movement
was set on foot. Ii is now too late. The
reaction against all Liberal institutions,
including equality OF citizenship, will have
to take its course before matters can be
| remedied.

ABERDEEN, Miss. May 26.-About SIX
weeks ago thoDemocratic County Execu-
tive COMMITTEES ordered delegate con-
vention for the purpose OF nominating
candidates for the county and legislative
Offices, and for selecting delegates to the
Democratic State Convention. 1t was ev-
ident that large majority OF the Demo-
Gratis OF the county not only favored whlte
supremacy, but wanted primary election
in order to get an expression as to the
peoples choice. A meeting OF the execu-
tive committee was called to further con-
slider the matter, a petition with l,zOo or
800 names having been presented TO the
Chairman thereof asking Tor reconsider
alton Of their former action. The com
mittee met, rescinded their former action
and ordered a primary election, at which
all men who had voted, or would promise
10 vote the Democratic ticket, might par
tcipate. They also ordered mass con-
yention for today TO select delegates to the
State Convention. That element OF
the party favoring white supremacy was
displeased with the call for primary
allowing colored men who bad and who
would promise TO vote the Democratic
ticket 20 participate, and 1t was clear
that there would be trouble at the meet
ing today. At least 700 white Democrats
convened ut the courthouse yesterday, and
the meeting was called 10 order by q. y.
Eckiord, chairman Of the Executive Com
mittee, The faction sustaining the former
action Of the committee nominated q. U.

the meeting fought and wrangled without
any result; ut last Mr.. Eckiord threw
