Trees Near the House.

A reliable authority on matters relat.
ing to the aspect and surroundings of
house considers that no single tree should
stand within some feet Of it, no garden
within several yards and no woodland,
with its carpet Of decaying leaves, within
at least a half mile. This last estimate
might we'll, it is thought, be reduced by
one-half, and perhaps twelve to fifteen
feet might be taken as the smallest dis.
tance which should intervene between
tree and house. With this qualification
the proximity Of trees to dwelling
house is distinctly beneficial. To insure
pure and fragrant atmosphere, "you
must, says writer on the subject, "ac.
cept from nature those tall, green chin.
neys called trees, which imbibe and carry
aloft into the air those hurtful gases
which, if admitted to the lungs and
brain, might disease the former and OBJ.
struct the delicate movements OF the
latter" ...
At various points in the country may
be observed houses which. in spite of
faulty situation, are yet generally healthy,
chiefly because they are environed with
trees which shelter them from the cold
winds Of winter and spring and in sum-
mer prevent that sudden ard rapid evap-
grafton which after heavy rains may
generate disease. A most striking ex-
ample Of the use Of trees in preserving
and promoting health occurred some
years ago. As the story goes, a man,
along the extremity of whose garden
ran ditch, received no injury from its
proximity, till, in an unfortunate hour,
thick row Of elders which grew upon
the brink was cut down. Almost imme.
diately low fever attacked the family,
and not only reduced them to state Of
great weakness, but returned at short in
tervals, till they removed to another To-
cality.

A Clever Tramp.

The trains on one of the railroads lead
ing into Atlanta nre notoriously slow,
and they are on that account much fire.
quented by tramps, who can readily
catch on as they pull out Of the stations.
Not long ago, as passenger train stopped
at water tank, tramp, dusty and
tired-looking, slipped off truck and ap-
preached the conductor.
"Are you the conductor" he asked.
"What were you doing under that carr"
was all the information he received.
"Ridin'; you didn't suppose. was
walkin', did your"
swell what do you want? I'm the
CONDUCTOR"
For the Lords sake, mister, can you
put more steam on, or put brakeman
on behind to push her, or do something
to get along faster. want to get to At.
lanta before the exposition is over" .
"Come Off" growled the conductor.
"If you don't like it why don't you
walk"
Because the president Of the road is
a friend Of mine, and the tramp drew
himself up in dignfied way, "and il
walk I'll beat the train there about eight
hours, and thatll set competin' lines to
maxim unkind remarks. l amt goin'
back on friend in no ssch lowdown
manner as that, even II didn't get to
Atlanta in time to make New Years
calls; you hear me, Gully conduct"
The conductor gave him seat in the
smoking car after that, and he went to
sleep and forgot that there was any such
place on the map as Atlanta.

FAME. WEALTH, LIFE, DEATH.
What IL fame?

What is fame?
'Tis the sun. gleam on the mountain.
Spreading brightly ere ii flies;
'Tis the bubble on the fountain,
Rising lightly ere 1t dies,
Or, II here and there hero
he remembered through the years.
Yet to him the gain is zero;
Death hath stlled his hopes and fears,
Yet what dangers men will dare
II but only in the air
May be heard some eager mention Of their
name.
Though they hear it not themselves, It's much
the same.
What is wealth.
'Tis o rainbow, still receding
As the painting fool pursues;
Or q toy that youth unheeding,
Seeks the readiest way to lose;
But the wise man keeps due measure,
Neither out Of breath nor base;
He but holds in trust his treasure
For the welfare Of the race.
Yet what crimes some mon will dare
But TO gain their slender share,
In some profit, though with loss Of name or
health,
In some plunder spent on vices, or by stealth.
What is llfe1
'Tis the earthly hour OF trial
For q life that's but begun;
When the prize OF self-deniAl
May be quickly lost or won;
'Tis the hour when love may burgeon
To an everlasting flower;
Or when lusts their victims urge on
To defy immortal power.
Yet how lightly men ignore
All the future holds In store.
Spending brief but golden moments all In
strife;
Or In suicidal madness grasp the knife.
What is death2
Past Its dark, mysterious portal
Human eye may never roam;
Yet the hope still springs immortal
That 1t leads the wanderer home.
Oh, the bliss that lies before us
When the secret shall be known,
And the vast angelic chorus
Sounds the hymn before the throne!
What is fame, or wealth or life?
Past are praises, fortune. strife;
All but love that lives forever. cast beneath.
When the good and faithful servant takes the
wreath.

RICKETTS, THE WINNER.
Eighth and Sixteenth Districts Vote to
Make a Nomination.
The Dead Lock at Last Broken
and the Mt. Pleasant Main
Wins.

After a two W, ek's session and a
thousand or 50 ballots, the conven
ton finally nominated Mr.. F. N.
Ricketts, for the Lower House OF the
legislature.
Mr.. Ricketts, started in at the be-
ginning of the convention with six
votes instructed for him, and at diff
Cerent times received almost if not
quite the entire Cyrus opposition, up
to last Monday, when he formally
withdrew from the contest.
Up to noon to-day the same stub
born fight between the Cyrus and the
anti-Cyrus men continued. There
was not the least sign of weakening
on either side.
Upon the first ballot after the noon
recess, however, Ricketts, name was
given To the convention by the Cyrus
opposition for the first time since
Monday, and on the next ballot
there came q sudden break in the
Cyrus column. The anti-Cyrus men
went to Ricketts, in a body, and the
two votes from the Eighth and one
from the Sixteenth districts, which
had originally been instructed for
Cyrus, pronounced for Rickets, which
gave him the necessary two.thirds.
For a momert the convention
could not realize that the old
song, mo Election had been
changed, but the chairman brought
them to their senses with the an
nouncement that ricketts, had been
nominated by vote of 26 to II.
SO endeth the longest and most
monotonous convention in the his
tory of the county.
After the result had been an

ahd addressed the contention. He de-
ulared his answering fealty 10 De
mocracy and pledged his earnes,

he would prove by his future con-
duct that the charges so recklessly
made against his Democracy were
uufcuuded and untrue.
Mr.. Ricketts, made a very happy
and feleci:ious speech of acceptance

OUR LIBERTY WANING.

America, "the proud land OF the

but a pest house of pOliticsl piracy
At least that is what Russian emil
grant in New York thinks.
Last week this tieeI from the

undershirts and into winter tiannels.
So our future American citizen was
duly uuarautined and among other
insults offered him, he was forced by
burly policeman to arise ABOUT
twelve o'clock one night, while the
moon, with maidenly modesty had
mid her blushing face, and go down
into the deep gray sea and have his
crusty emigrantisl hide scrubbed
with ported I've and sand by dusky
darkey kept there for that purpose.
In vain the future American voter
swore and fumed! In vain he pro-
tested against such tyranny; not even
known in despotic Russia! In vain
he declared he would go back home
first; and finally in vain he swore
that, as he had not bathed before for
twenty odd years, the shock would
completely knock his delicate sys-
tenn into the middle ofnext week!
But he had to do it.
And now this leads us TO happy
thought. We are tired of these crust
bound, dirt encased, morally gan
prened sons of socialism, landing on
our shores and becoming one OF our
family. We have passed mauy laws
to head them off without avail. Let

CELEBRATE coLuMEus Day.

Columbus discovered America Oh
the 18th of October 1892 according to
old Time, but by present time it was
on the 2lst of October Of that year
The celebration OF the 400th ami
vergary of the discovery, has there
fore been fixed for the latter date in
next month.
On that day the Columbian Expo
sitioD buildings at Chicago will be
dedicated with magnificent display.
Plans are on foot to secure the CO.
operation of every man, woman and
child in the United States, and to
have them present in person or con-
structively.
This is to be done by means of the
public schools, the most universal
and characteristic of American instl-
tutions. At the same hours that the
ceremonies are in progress at Chica-
go, every public school in the lano
is to celebrate the day with program
suited to the occasion and having
more or less unlfoI nifty. AS there is
a public school in every nook ana
corner of the nation and everybody II
more or less interested in them by
personal ties and interests, the
memories of the day will be brought
directly home to the people OF every
community.
The plan was originated by the
Youths Companion, the most widely
circulated home paper in the world
1t is worthy of thai splendid paper
and should meet with a hearty re-
spouse from every class in every
community in he country.
At another place in our columns
will be found tie outlines of the pro
gram adopted for the occasion by the
Andrews School here. 1t is hoped
that every school in the county vii
follow the example of that institu
ton. The patriotic effect OF this
universal cooperation of the Amer
can people can readily be foreseei
and should therefore meet hearty
approval and assistance.
