Results OF a Show of Hands at Bates
burg

The only other significant incident In his
closing remarks was the show of hands. He
followed out the Georgia practice OF taking
q vote. He submitted three propositions to
the crowd:
all opposed to IL.
all opposed to 1t.
Third Ali in favor OF my position to-day
all in favor Of Senator Buffers
In each instance the vote in the affirmative
was absolutely overwhelming, and Senator
Butler himself smillingly admitted that Mr..
Walton had the crowd with him.
Mr.. Watson closed by saying that he would
bring back to Georgia q message full OF en-
couragement, and he urged upon Carlina
alliance men to stand by their colors and
keep in the middle of the road. / am no mes
siah, but thank God that he created me
when He did, that l may bear an humble
part in this great work OF relieving my fel-
bowman from the crushing burden under
which they labor. Great applause.)
Mr. Watson had an ovation from the crowd,
and there is no disputing the fact that he
made fine impression upon all who heard
him. Senator Butler and he parted warm
friends, and the senator told him he was
coming oyer to Georgia and discuss the ques-
tion again.
Mr. Watson told him he would be glad to
welcome him in Georgia, and to debate the
question with him al any time.

His Wife Loved Him.

The dear little wife had spent q
wearisome day, fol the baby had been
fretful and the maid had been out.
Along in the evening rather later than
usual, the baby, bathed and soothed
into comfort, had fallen asleep, and
the mother came softly stepping down
from her chamber into the parlor,
where her husband was talking to
friend.
Released at last, my darling?" said
her husband, rising as she entered,
and waiting until she had taken seat
before resuming his own. 'Let me
get you an easier chair" suiting the
action to the world, "here in the win
dow where you will feel the breeze.
Now let the screen be set between
your face and the light. am 80 glad
you can rest awhile p'
And theu the good man, the sweet,
chivalric gentleman, as serupulously
deferential to his wife as he would
have been to the stateliest lady in the
land, went on with the conversation
which her entrance had for the mo-
ment interrupted.
II saw these roses on the stand by
the ferry, and they look so much like
those that used to grow under your sit
ting-room window in the old home
that I bought them for you. And
here is the book which Parsons was
talking about the other night. I
thought you would like to read it, or,
if you like, I'll read 1t to you while
you sew"
The thoughtfulness which makes
the husband pay these lover-like at
tentions, just as he did in the courting
days, goes far to fill the wife's heart
with happiness, far toward keeping
her young and fair. Life has too
much prose about it for many q wo-
man who finds herself tied down dur
ing child-nursing years to an apparent
ly never-ending routine Of small duties
which make no show. An apprecia-
tive husband, who does not reserve his
tributes of loye and admiration for
great occasions, who is tenderly SYM
pathetic when the or dinary affairs Of
life and the household are the only
ones in question, deserves to be held
in honor.
The little courtesies must not of
course, be all on one side. In the true
home they never are-John's comfort
is paramount with Johns wife; she
knows dishes he prefers, she invites
the friends he likes, she arranges the
home routine with an eye to his conn
fort. If her duties are of kind to
take good deal out of her in virality
and freshness, his, in the competitions
of business, are not less exacting. She
owes it to him to slip on clean gown,
to "pick up" the disorderly room, that
his early home coming may be festi-
val In the dewy ministry Of small
daily attentions true love thrives and

Thos. p. Henry, Manager.
We CODY the above letter, not with view
to ipjure the Augusta Exposition, for we arc
friendly to Augusta and to the exposition.
We are sorry for the statement that the ex
pendItures by the company have already
pressed the managers. Whether it was in
tended to state fact that the means at theil
command was limited, or that the managers
had been extravagant, we do not know.
But what we object to is the form and mat
ter Of the letter.
The enclosed inset'' comes squarely under
the Post Office regulation which forbids pub
fishers from enclosing them In their
papers, and newspapers have no means oi
distributing them without paying one cent
each on them or else surreptitiously putting
them in the mails.
We have no idea that the exposition would
knowingly make proposition to any editor
to defraud the post toffice, no matter how
much pressed, and for that reason, we feel
less modification at being the recipient Oh
such an offer. But as matter OF fact, we
are tired Of it, and we would put the world
on notice that we may hereafter refer such
propositions to the post Office authorities.
One thing is certain, the post Office laws
are very loosely enforced when business
houses and expositions can, with impunity
write letters of which the above Is sample,
and which has, 1t seems to u.s. the sole object
OF beating the post Office department out
of postage.
AS matter Of fact. we would suggest the
propriety Of submitting the "insets" to the
postal authorities. If any editor should sur
reptitiously and unlawfuly distribute them,
there is not an editor in the state who is able
to pay the penalty which is named in connec-
tion with such infringement Of the post office
laws.
But suppose 1t involved no moral turpitude
on the part of an editor to distribute those
"insets," as business proposition, it would
be unwise to do so, for the simple reason that
those sheets are full of legitimate advertis.
ing, and he should not lend himself TO any
scheme which destroys his own business.
