Ptucky Southern Girls.
From the Illustrated american


1t was not desire of fame that led Miss
Virginia c. Clay to become a conpositor in
the office of the Huntsville (Ala) Democrat
In 1888, but stern necessity and sense of
duty. From early childhood Miss Clay had
cherished the intention of one day doing
something for her father and mother to
repay them in part for the unselfish care
they had given her. When, in the autumn,
of 1885, her father, Mr.. j. Withers Clay
experienced trouble in obtaining compos-
itors, Miss Clay, then only short time out
OF the school-room. volunteered her SER
vices, and in few months had picked up
the trade sufficiently to enable her to set
from two to three ''galleysn
day and make up the forms, which
she learned to do from observa-
ton, the foreman not being willing
to teach her. Her father was stricken with
paralysis on Nov. 2, 1885, and Miss Clay
then took hold as associate editor, pub
Usher, typssetter and foreman. In Deem
Der her sister Susanna consented to learn
typesetting, and proved so apt pupil that
1t was not many months before tho two
young ladies' were doing all the editorial
and mechanical work except the press
work, and attending to all business in con-
nection with the office. By careful man
agement, after the first years experience,
they found that they owed no debts, had
new outfit of type and a small amount in
bank above what had been spent for the
household, which consisted of parents,
grandmother aud four girls. It is
with a pardonable pride that they
boast of having been self-supporting
for the last five years, at the same time re-
tanning their social position and the respect
of all, setting 10 rout the erroneous impress
sion prevailing throughout the north that
southerners lack energy and spirit. Mrs.
Clay, the mother, educated her seven chill
dren with care, aud always sought to impress
upon them the importance of being self
supporting, and the intellectual prepare
tions necessary thereto as the Only means Of
happiness. They have profited by her
teachings, and are all independent bread
winners In politics Miss C!ay'a newspaper
is democratic, as its title indicates. Woman
suffragists do not find an ally in Miss Clay.
81 am strongly principed against woman
suffrage, or anything that would take
woman out of the refined, gentle sphere
that should ever surround her life," she
says.

now with his own hand prepare it Just TO

is like the coat he used to wear about
Judea, wi bout seam from top to bottom.
There Is a day of doom. Coward would
be if did not dare tell you this. 1t shall
be a day of unutterable Disappointment
to those who have trusted in their official
dignity, in their elegant manners, in their
outward morality, in their soundness of in
tellectual belief. But see soul standing
before God who once was thoroughly defiled.
Yet look at him and you ca mot find sin
gle transgression anywhere about him.
How is this, you ask. Was he not once a
Sabbath breaker, a blasphemer, a robber, a
perjurer, thief, a murderer Yes, but
Christ hath cleansed him. Christ hath
lifted him up. Christ hath rent off his rags.
Christ hath clothed him in a spot
less robe of righteousness. That
Is the reason why you cannot see
his former degradation. This glorious hope
in Christ's name is proffered to-day. Wan

Do you wonder that so many with bitter
weeping have besought it and with very
enthusiasm of sorrow cried for divine com

wonder at the Importantly Of the

NEXT WIN LER'S DANCES.
One That a Washington Professor
Will Endeavor to Introduce.

From the Washington Post.
"May have the pleasure of this ravenir
with you!"
An invitation to dance the new dance of
the dancing masters convention in session
at Sheldon's academy on F street will
sound oddly enough till one gets used to it.
1t was introduced by Prof. E. Wadsworth
Masters of Boston, president Of the associa-
ton, and the new dance is scarcely less cdd
than its name. 1t has not yet been adopted
by the association, nor has Prof. J. F. Davis
new dance, the waltz minuet, which was
also frs danced the otner day.
The entire evening was given up to the new
features in the art of dancing. President
Masters laid aside the gavel, and showed
that though he is bit old and his luxuriant
whiskers are considerably whitened by age,
he is as clever with his feet as any one.
Standing in the center of the floor he ex-
planned his new dance, Pavenir. Then
while one of the teachers played the music
on violin. the others danced it.
L'avenir is very pretty dance. of the
round variety, as is also the waltz minuet
The steps Of Pavenir include those of the
schottische. waltz. galop, and a new step
slightly different from that of any now
popular dance. The new dance will be hard
to learn, aud is still harder to describe. The
music to which it is danced is sprightly,
and the scene presented by a ballroom full
of people dancing it will be very pretty 1t
starts with scottische step; then the music
quickens to a galop, and afterward as
quickly slows to more stately measure
that somewhat resembles a minuet, save
that it is faster. The last step of ravenlr
can scarcely be described it more nearly
resembles a waltz in quickstep time than
anything else, if such thing were posi-
bic.
In the various figures of the dance the
gentleman puts his arms about the lady's
waist, as in the waltz, holds his left hand
in her right, and they dance forward, side
by side, both facing in the same direction,
with a graceful, gliding step, and their
progress to the galop is the feature of the
dance. fF
President Masters is confident that the
new dance is destined to become very pop
ular.
The new waltz minuet of Prof Davis is
quite different from Pavenir. AS the mama
indicates, this dance unites the popular
dance of our grandparents and the much
abused waltz Of our own times in a very
pretty new dance. 1t is begun with the
mlnuet step, which, after one round of the
room is made, is followed by the waltz
step. The music for the minuee portion of
the dance is slow and the time strongly
marked, while the waltz step is a trifle
slower than the waltz is ordinarily danced
now. Il is easily learned, and the teachers
had all mastered it in very few minutes
last night.
Some time was also spent in dane
ing the national lancers, a new dance
adopted by the association soms time ago,
but in which there has been considerable
diversity Of methods of teaching.

TOWNSVILLE, GA, June 29.-There will
be general changing of ofice-holders in
this county this year. Col. A. P. Wright,
who has been chairman of the democratic
executive committee of the county for six
teen years, positively declines reelection.
He has served the people faithfully and
retires with their sincere thanks.
A. I. Mcintyre, Jr., declines TO run for the
legislature, thinking he can do more good
for his people working up competing rail.
road lines than in the House. He made an
earnest and able representative and would
have made a good race for reelection.

one by MS politsnesS Even during his greatest
sufering, he never forgot to say PLEASE" and
Thank you " Bringing in hts system the germ
OF malariai fever the most tender and unwav-
ering care could not ward of the sickness that
soon sapped the life current. His mother was
summoned from Savannah. and in his last
moments her heart was comforted in its sorrow

Smile on then. darling, as God wills it best;
We lose our hold,
Content to leave thee to the rest,
The safer fold:
To JOY s immortal youth while, We grow old.
Content the cold and wintry day to bear
The icy wave,
And know thee in immortal summer there,
Beyond tbs grave;
Content to give thee to the love that gave.
A FRIEND.

KICKING on THE TARIFF.
THE LEATHER AND SHOE TRADE
OF GOTHAM GETS A HEARING.

A Claim That Our Exports are So
Small That this Rebate Won't Com
pensate For the Proposed Duty-A
Change in the Duties on Hosiery
and Cotton Shirts.
WAsHTSGToN, April IA committee
renresenting the hide, leather aud shoe
trade of New York appeared before the
WAYS and means committee to-day 70 Cd
nose the proposed duty of Is per cent. on
hides. The committee was composed of
Charles Scheireu, J. B. Horton, II. b.
Vaughan. Mark Hoyt, j. K. Cilley, Webb
Horton, E. r. Lsdew, d. I. Stevens, Harry
Howell. William II. Halssy, Charles A
Bigelow and john Hannen.
Nr.Scheiren argued that the rebate on ex-
ports provided TO mitigate the effect OF the
duty would be practically valueless to the
shoe men, as most Of their goods were not
exported, but found a home market.
HIDES FOR PATENT LEATHER.
Mr.. Halsey said that the makers Of patent
leather could not use California, Colorado
or Texas hides, and would not if they could
be had free of cost They required wet
hides, free from marks aud brands, and
those hides were necessarily imported. AT
present makers were able to compete for
the trade of the world in light feathers.
They supplied Australia. Eeven a drawback
wonld.not avail however, as imported hides
were divided up into different classes OF
leather goods, and it would not be practt-
cable to ascertain what portion of them
were subject to drawback.
WOULD DEMoRALIzE THE TRADE.
Mr.. Bigelow said if that duty was inn
posed, although the ultimate effect might
be to maintain the existing prices of hides
and leather, the shoe trade would be de-
Uoralized for eighteen months or two
years Trade was beginning in shoes with
countries which now supplied us with hides,
and the point had just been reached where
the American shoe manufacturer was able
to compete with the European maker. and
this trade would be checked by the duty.
THE DUTY on HOSIERY.
The committee has decided to increase
the duties proposed in the tariff bill on the
finer grades of cotton hosiery. Grades of
cotton stockings, hose and half hose valued
at 81 and less per dozen are left as they
stood in the bill, but on grades above that
valuation, where it was proposed that the
duty should be 40 cents per dozen and 40
per cent, the following rates have been
agreed upon: Valued at more than SO per
dozen and not more than 81, IS cents and
40 per cent. valued at more than 81, 81 and
40 per cent.
COTTON SHIRTS AND DRAWERS.
zion cotton shirts and drawers. which the
bill made dutiable at so cents and 35 per
cent. for grades between 81 80 and S3 per
dozen, 20 cents and 40 per cent. For grades
above 81 per dozen i'll value the rates have
teen increased as follows: Valued at more
than 81 90 and not more than So, 81 per
dozen and IS per cent. more than SO and
not more than S., 81 25 and 40 per cent.

sub-aIiances Of Thomas county held con-
vention at Bold Spring Thursday. The
most important matter discussed was the
organization Of an alliance oil mill and
guano company on a large scale, TO be
located at the point in the county offering
the most advantages. The plan agreed
upon was a stock company OF $4,000. The
stock. il was thought. can be easily placed
with alliancemen. The scheme IS feast Die.
Hon. Robert Alexander offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted
RESOLVED. That grand mass meeting Of all
the alliances OF the county be held at the court
house ia Thomasville Hay at 10 O'Clock for the

factory question, and that a committee of five
members Of this bodybe appointed by the presi-
dent. WHOSE duty il shall be to formulate a
plan FOR the erection of factory, which plan
shall be submitted to the said grand mass meet
ing.
RESOLUTION.
B. H. Pope offered the following resOlu-
ton, which was also adopted:
Reso'rsd That the Thomas county alliance,
assembled at Bold Spring, In said county. on
April 3. 1892 respectfully request the demo
cratic executive committee OF the county to
representatives to the general assembly and
senator from this district, and that said primary
be called for rs late date as possible.
A committee represented Tbomasville's
interests at the convention, and J. l.. Hall
addressed the meeting in behalf of Thomas
vile. There was great enthusiasm mani
tested, and Thomasville bids fair soon to
have mammoth alliance guano factory
and oil mill
