A WOMAN SPEAKS.
She Gives Her Opinion ON Wom-
ans Rights.

Mr.. EditOr-1n your issue of March
Sd, l have read the article on wrinkles,
and Will | feel disturbed from the
fact that l have more than | have any
use for, particularly the crows feet, >
yet am sure | could not grin broad
enough to remove them as you direct,
unless l bad something to grin for
Then, too, should be afraid of putting
my eyes out. But as | find on the
same page many good things that are
said in "Woman's Behalf" particularly
what Geo. W. Cnrtis says, feel 80 en-
couraged that if it should ever come
to pass that all good men thought as
he did, and the wrongs of women
should be righted so as to allow them
to vote, l think | could grin broad
enough, long enough, and press hard
enough on the ''crow's foot" to re-
move at least one pair of them. That
would give zest to the thing, some
thing to pay one for taking the risk of
putting out their eyes.
Some women don't want to vote, but
l think if would be we'll for them to
read what is said ia the PIONEER of
Monday. Perhaps they are interested
in wrinkles. 1t would pay them any,
way, to read the directions for their
removal. A good many faces look
''fabby" for some r. rason or other, but
the main reason am interested
in voting is 1 don't like to break the
Constitution. That document says
There shall be no taxation without
representation" and this law some are
compelled to break every year.
Women who have no men to repre-
sent them are made to pay tax. Ev-
cry year the officer comes along to
find out how much you have saved,
and the more saving you have been,
the more tax you have to pay. Not
only that, but it is also State tax,
County tax, school tax, and once it
was poll tax, but I explained that I
did not ewn any poll and they took
the tax off. / said too did not own
any road, but that made no difference,
must pay the same, as it was the
custom. AS though custom made a
thing right. [ did not mind the
school tax because like to help take
care of peoples children, but State
County and City taxes, let the people
that vote pay for these. 1t seems to
me it is time the knights of Equal
Rights" should hold convention with
the intention, not of revising the Con-
stitution, but of seeing that the laws
were satisfactorily executed.

The PUBLIC BUILDING,
BRIDGETON TO HAVE ONE.
The Erection of u $4,000 Public
Building Authorized for
Our CITY.

The Washington Congressional dis
patches of Monday, state that the
erection of public buildings involving
the expenditure of d million dollars
were authorized by the committee in
the Senate, and the bill placed on the
calendar and Bridgeton is to get SIS,
600 building.
Last December Supervising Architect
James H. Window, wrote to POSTUM asst er
Lanlng and Collector of Customs F..
M. Porch, of this city, asking for GER
tain data as to the requirements of the
public government offices of this city
in the transaction of the public busi-
ness
The Supervising Architect required
Information n TO The population OF
the city 10 1873 and in 1859, aud an
estimate OF lis probable population in
1899; also the number of persons en-
ployed in the public business in the
Custom House, Post Office and In
ternal Revenue in 1878, and at present
also the amount of Office floor room
required in the transaction of each
branch of business now, and what
would be the probable requirements
ten years to come; be also required
information as to the value of prop
erty for eligible sites for the erection of
buildings for the uses of the public
business.
The information furnished by these
gentlemen to Supervisor Window was
to the effect that the population of
Bridgeton in 1878 was $500; in 1889 it
was $4,000 and in ten years more it
would probably reach 10000 at it's
present rate of increase. The amount
of floor space occupied by the customs
business was 656 square feet, and dur
ing the next ten years at least 1000
square feet would be required for this
business; that the Internal Revenue
Office at the present time (now, how
ever located in Salem,) required 400
square feet of floor room, and that the
post office was using now 1869 square
feet of floor room, and that the esti-
mated requirement for the next ten
years would be at least three times
this amount or about 37O0 square feet
of floor room.
This information was also furnished
to Senator McPherson nv Collector
Porch.
Nothing is yet known as to the plans
for the construction of the building but
with an appropriation of 1000 and a
regard to the requirments of the Post
Office and Custom House business for
the next ten years, it looks as though
the building will be a very pretentious
structure.

From 1890 to the close of 1883 there
were in the United States, counting
the living and the dead, about 1,400

Rents Coming Down.

Some of our freeholders who own
tenant farms have been compelled to
reduce the rents, as it is impossible for
a tenant to make a living and pay such
sums as they have been paying. One
landlord, who owns two farms, told us
recently that he had made a reduction
of 800 to each of his tenants.

SAW MILL STARTED.
The Bending Works Moving on Slowly,
But Surely.

The Bending Works proprietors
informed the LEAF~CHRoNICLE that
their saw mill is completed at their
timber, and that it will be started
to-day. They have about twenty
hands at work culling timber, and as
soon as it can be sawed into lumber
the work will begin erecting the
Bending Works building. In about
two weeks they will have a full
force of men working here.
Out at the Bending works site to-
day a force is employed grading a
street, and good Roadway is being
made. Mr.. McKesson remarked to a
LEAF-C CHRONICLE reporter that he
found more work to do than he had
calculated on, when he first came.
There are a thousand and one little
jobs that have to be done that were
not thought of when the estimate
was made on the cost of rebuilding.
He thinks, however, that he will
have his machinery in working or
der within thirty days.
1t takes time to do all the WORK
that has to be done to start enter
prises. Unless the foundations to
such enterprises, as Mr.. McKesson
says, are put down right at first they
are liable to go up in smoke. The
greatest care is being taken by the
gentlemen to gel their enterprise
started right, and they are not going
to rush through with it in a gallop,
but will take a moderate pace, SO
when they get to the end of their
Journey they will have everything
right. "Be sure you're right, then GO
ahead" is their motto.

GEORGE WARNER DIES.
Victim Of a Mobs Vengeance Yesterday
at Columbia.

Geo. Warner, negro who attempt
ed rape upon Mrs. Paul last Tues
day morning at Columbia, was taken
from the officers last evening and
hanged by the neck until dead. The
trial of the negro was in progress
yesterday, and upon the adjourn
ment of the court the sheriff, Henry
Harlan, and his deputies started for
the Jail with the prisoner. AS they
reached the hall of the court house
three or four men seized each of the
officers and held them powerless. A
rope, which had been kept in readi-
ness, was quickly thrown over the
doomed mans neck. He was seized
in the arms of several men and hur-
ried out of the court house down the
street, followed by the mob, and
taken TO the new bridge, some two
blocks distant. The rope was made
fast, the prisoners arms pinioned, he
was thrown over and was dangling
in the air in less time than it takes to
tell. His neck was broken by the
fall and he made no struggle. The
law-abiding people of Maury coun-
ty deeply deplore the act and de-
nounce it as hasty, outrageous vio-
lation of the law.

Seventh Grade Declarations and Award
of Medals.

Quite a large number of friends
and patrons turned out yesterday
evening TO hear the speaking and
recitations in the contest for the
Seventh grade medals at Howell
School. Miss Eva Bailey, the teach
er, announced that the young de
chalmers had no special evolutionary
training for the occasion beyond
their own exertions. Notwithstand-
ing this fact, the exercises were high
ly creditable, both to the school and
pupils, every one doing well, the
contest being close all around. Two
medals were awarded, one for the
girls and one for the boys.
Miss Sallie Hurst recited The Vii
lage by the Sea, rendering the piece
to perfection.
Miss Beulah Tuggles recited The
Bandits Daughter splendidly. Miss
Lucy Monroe recited the Death OF
Queen Mary with great animation,
giving full vent to her rich, mellow
voice, and with some good training
she would soon excel in elocution.
Miss Susie Williams rendered beau
tiGully Music on the Rappahanock
Miss Sallie Gill spoke in clear,
sweet tone in the rendition of "Kate
Shelly saving the lightning express
train"
The contest was very close between
Sallie Hurst, Lucy Monroe and Sal
lie Gill. The judges found some diff
ficulty in deciding and had to narrow
it down to the most points in elccu-
ton, which gave the medal to Miss
Sallie Hurst.
Garland Brunson delivered an adj
dress on The Declaration of hide
pendence. CASTOR O'Brien spoke to
The Gladiator. Ned Turnkey deliv-
cred speech on Prohibition. Gas.
ton spoke too fast and didn't mind
his stops. Boys should learn, the
first thing, how to mind their stops,
But for this he would have come In
an easy winner. Ned Turnkey failed
to memorize his speech well, and
that floored him, leaving Garland
Brunson winner of the medal.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
The Street Building That is Going on
Within the City Limits.

That the street committee has
taken up an idea to improve the
streets Of GAINESVILLE is proven by
the work of this kind that is now GO
ing on, and also by what has already
been completed.
"A force is now employed grading
Hitter street and will complete the
task in few days.
Eighth street has been graded from
College to Main and is ready for met,
aling.
Fifth street will be graded from
Franklin to Main this week, and the
metal will be put on next week.
This work has all been done well,
and when the metal is put on the
streets quite a different state of af-
fairs will be noticeable.
In addition to street building the
street committee is using lime freely
for disinfecting purposes. In the
Main street pond vicinity, where
the water has been standing and has
fallen, leaving the ground moist,
and making that locality possibly
unhealthy, lime has been sprinkled.
All the damp places have been thor
oughly covered with lime and as fast
as the water reeedes the ground is
covered with this disinfectant. Al
order for twenty barrels OF Inns was
given this morning to be used for
this purpose. This will be hauled
there and used under the direction of
r. f. Gilbert, chairman of the street
committee.
In view of the fact that the publitI
school will have exercises mex
Thursday night, the regular month
ly meeting night of the board, it has
been decided to have this meeting al
4 O'Clock p. m. instead of at night.

The sMiraeulous wonder.a

Mrs. Abbott gave another perfor-
nance at Elders Opera House last
night. Mr.. Abbott wearied the au-
dience almost out of patience at the
beginning trying to explain the arti-
Gle which appeared in yesterdays
American regarding the exposure Of
Mrs. Abbott by DIR. Porter, of Co
lumbia.
A committee was called to the
stage and the same program of the
night before gone through with. @.
N. Meriwether claimed to have
found the key to one or two of her
tricks, and says it is all done by
Mrs. Abbott taking advantage of
leverage and gravitation. He could
very easily lift the chair when one
man was sitting in it, but when three
or four piled on them he could not
bulge them.
In lengthy editorial last even
ing's Banner makes use of the fol-
lowing: "The Banner, in a notice
of Mrs. Abbot's performance in
Nashville, called attention to the fact
that in all her trickssshe gave herself
the advantage of leverage, and that
she at no time gave a test of her
power by lifting a dead weight or
attempting trick that did not place
at a disadvantage those who were
making a trial of their strength
against her. There are many per-
sons who have peculiarly electrical
qualities, nervous force and mesmeric
power, and Mrs. Abbott may have
some such power, but the stage tricks
performed by her and the other
Georgia "wonder," Lulu Hurst, are
performed by Straightforward, main
strength and, as DR.. Porter says, the
taking of the advantage of the nat
ural laws of gravity and leverage"
