Mending With Pins.

1t was q hole in her pocket that
Helen Russell mended that morn

"Pinning 1t up was one of Helen's
favorite make-shifts.

have to do, anyway"
Even holes in her stockings were
caught together in this fashion, and

It was not that she lacked time to
use needle and thread, but simply
she had fallen into q lazy habit.
Helen Russell was school-teach.
er, and a few days after pinning mp
the hole in her pocket she went to
the treasurer and drew her earn
ings for ten weeks teaching. She
put the money into her purse, and
the purse into her pocket.
Then she made few calls, and
went to the post-ofice. As she was
descending the steps OF the post.
Office, she caught her foot in the
trimming of her skirt, which had
ripped and had been fastened with
a pin, and tripped and fell heavily
on the stones. AS she fell hel

reached her home. When she re

How to Make MaryvilIe.

There is a feasible course for the
people of Maryville TO adopt which
will result in her upbuilding. No
one with common sense can expect
her to make great town let alone
a large city. Every town or city
will make just what the country or
manufacturing interests will sus-
tain. A growth from any other
reasons will be short lived. The
sporadic growth Of q town is of but
little value when the cause is re-
moved the growth often becomes a
curse to man who expends money
in 1t. The business of a place will
be cOmmen surate with Its dema nds
and when 1t exceeds that, some one
will lose by 1t. Ofcourse the bust
ness territory naturally subject to q
given place is safe with proper bus
mess care, hut the territory may be
increased in size with energy or
extraordinary efforts, such as the de-
STABILITY of stocks OF merch ndise,
machinery, etc., which the county
demands, as well as the induce
ments in prices offered. Maryville
could have ut least twice her bust
ness II the business men were will.
ing to work for It in the true chan
nels of trade. The TIMES shows
this week that nearly six thousand
head of fat hogs were shipped out
Of the county this last season. All
that trade could have been made
tributary to the town by packing
establishment. Thirty-flve thou
sand dollars worth of poultry with
butter and eggs, have been bought
and shipped by one man in Mary
vile in one year-the business tina,
naturally comes here, but the mar
who did that large business failed
to keep 1t because he refused to d.
the work necessary to compett
with his neighbors. tH
Suppose the business men of Ma
ryville would combine In theil
work to compete with the Knox
vile business houses, by using theil
business guns; they could out.gen
eral them. LIST, because naturally
the trade is theirs. End, the differ
ence in the price Of rents, taxes
lights, help, ETC., is great. 3rd, tn,
advertising would not cost then
OIe-third as much; and in thes,
three points they would more thar
overcome the freights. The troubl,
here is, Maryville allows Knoxvill,
to overrun and capture her terrific
ry by the very means she refuse,
to use. There are now here half
dozen manufacturing institution
running at their full capacity o

It has been generally supposed by
our jurists, and distinguished, tenn.
perance men that . license law, is
restrictive, and prohibitory, but as
applied to selling intoxicants, 1t Is
called by many, "the most iniqui-
tous law ever found on the statute
book" Rt8 M
A man cannot be q merchant In
Tennessee, unless he gets license,
and so Of many other employments.
Are not such laws restrictive, and
therefore prohibitive? The business
can be pursued only by the man
who pays for the privilege-all 9th
ers are prohibited. This is the
nature Of all license laws, no matter
what they pertain to. 1t Is said in.
asmuch as the liquor traffic is ruin
GUS, it is wicked and sinful for the
state to license it. Making, and
drinking, and selling intoxicants
did not originate in the state. For
several thousand years there does
not seem to have been any law
against the free use of alcohol. 1t
was only under the reign of mod
ern civilization that 1t was deemed
essential to the order and welfare
Of society, to restrict the sale of
liquors. What then was the nature
Of that legislation which interviewed
to check the ravages Of free rum ?
Absolute prohibition was impossi
BILE then, as it now is, in many pla.
ces. 1t would have been a grand
thing to have wiped the destructive
business, out of existence, but al
this was impossible the state resolv.
ed to check It. Hence the license
laws, and any one who cannot see
that such laws were good to so
clety, must be stupid or willfully
perverse. License laws to suppress
free rum and whiskey are In their
nature benevolent. Any one who
is familiar with the ravages Of In
temperance, as it existed In 0ul
country sixty years ago, when ev'
cry fourth family in the United
States, was scourged with the rum
pestilence, under the free sale o.
intoxicants, will thank God thai
the state interviewed by law tC
check the deadly torrents which
ran by the door of every home
Thousands were saved by these
very license laws that are so abhor
rent to our modern prohibitionist'
who are ever denouncing what doe
not accord with their unerring wis
dom. &s& ~ 4=ee
No one would be 80 unwise ss 7,
suppose we must have no othel
than license laws, but 1t Is not bes
that we should see that such law
were never designed to sanction
but to restrict and prohibit. Thu
time will come when our saloon
will be shut up, and who does no
wish he could see that good day
But Mr.. Editor, tits we'll to under

AT THE OLD PRISON.
Andersonville, Ga.

- tTl6 VIII nI0ONs
Andersonville, Ga.
Mr. EDITOR:- .
Andersonville is quite small
town, yet it ia place of some inter-
est. Here are the old stockades, in
which so many Union Soldiers
were penned as "prisoners of the
war" Some Of the trenches and
embankments still remain, but the
forty acre field which constituted
the prison, now lists to the whistle
aud song Of the plow-boy, instead of
the groans and sighs of the dying
soldiers. The Cemetery contains
twenty-five acres, and is neatly
kept. As we stand In the center of
the grounds and look at the long
rows of marble slabs we feel Y sol.
+emn sensation. The slabs are set
In the rows so close together as to
touch each other; each one Is mum.
bered, on 1t inscribed the name of
the man whose dust lies beneath,
and name of state from which he
came. Then looking more closely,
we see many short slabs on which
there are no names, these mark
the dust Of unknown soldiers, there
are hundreds Of this class. After
taking a view Of the grounds we
sat down upon bench to think the
matter over; those who sleep here,
once had homes with the people of
earth, and tender ties bound them
ITO the hearts Of those they loved
here lies the veteran who proudly
||kfsSed Nh wife and children for the
last time before he marched away
at the head of his troop; here, the
boy whose mothers tear stained his
cheek for the>la time as the drum
beat for him to fall into line. And
here again sleeps the young man
who died clasping relic in remem-
brance Of her whose love he had
won, and in his last sleep, dreamed
that her lips touched his, and that
he was sinking to rest in her low
ing embrace. And then we think
of those mothers, wives, sisters a I'd
lovers still living. There must be
wounded hearts still bleeding, fond
memories still cherished and sol.
emn vows still kept. There are
doubtless, sorrows known only to
those whose hearts have bled, the
intensity Of pent up grief can never
be known to others.
Well it ia really neither pleasant
nor profitable, ut this late day, Il
picture to ourselves the horror u
the past; but the sweetest rose Is
borne upon thorny stem, and w
know it is a brave hand which
dares to clutch the thorn for tn,
sake of the flower.

LIVE WIRE EATS THRoUGHAHoRsr
Tacoma Newsboy Badly Shocked but
Escapes Death.

TACOMA, Dec. %. - Special - This
morning, while delivering papers near the
western limits of the city, newsboy upon
horse tried to cross an electric light wire,
which had been pulled out of position by
hr tree falling upon it. The horse got
its fore legs over the wire, when the
current knocked it down, the wire burn
ing groove through the animals abdo-
men, but when the backbone was reached
the bone resisted the wire, and in a few
minutes the wire parted. The horse was
killed instantly, falling like a lump of
lead the instant the wire touched his fore
feet.
The boy was blinded and unconscious by
the shock for five minutes, but managed
to extricate himself without serious IN
jury, and was able TO go on delivering his
papers on foot. His name is Walter
Boardman, and he was employed by the
Morning Globe.
The wire causing the mischief was the
Tacoma Railway and Motor Company's
trolley on Sixth street, near Caulter's adj
dition. Nothing was said about the acci-
dent till late this evening, when the facts
leaked out Electricians say it IS the most
peculiar accident of the kind on record.
