THE LADIES PROTEST.
Some Strong Language Used in Discuss
ing a Common Nuisance.

4 HERALD reporter a few days ago
happened to be in the company OF sew
eral ladies whose confidence he enjoyed
to a great extent, so he got to hear them
express their sentiments on Il lew mat
tiers.
After the subject of the spring fashions
in bOnnets and a few other such ordinary
matters had been disposed of, the con-
VersatiOn turned into different channels.
One of the party brought up a new sub
iect for comment, by relating her eXPe-
rience when going to a certain entertain
ment. She gave the estimated time IL
took her and her companion to edge their
way through the congregated pack OF
IOafers that were enjoying their chief
pleasure in the entertainment OF stand
ing around the door watching the crowd
gather and making what they, in their
poor, weak ignorance, Thought TO be
witty remarks about those who showed
more signs of civilization than they did.
The lady added: THAT is one kind of the
American swine that is OF very Scant
benefit to our country" This remark
elected a response that SOunueu very
much like "amen," or at least that is the
one word that means about the same as
various words of appreciation that came
from the different members OF the party.
Another lady. took up the theme, and
said: "Indeed it does make one feel like
she wanted to hide beneath the paving
stones to walk up to public building
and have half score of such lmpudent
wretches leer at her so. l just feel like
| would like to see such fellows struck
blind for about week. Then there is
another habit that is even more dis
agreeable and disgraceful; that is for
men to stand on the street i'll gangs and
gawk at Il lady as she passes. Then when
She gets perhaps so far as across the
room from them they will break out i'll
a bigh 'ha ha' that makes her feel like
they are laughing at her"
There happened TO be lady i'll the
company who lives in the country. She
argued that it is in the small country
towns that these points in complaint
take their most offensive forms; "be-
Sides" she added, 1--WE folks in the cOun-
! try have a very unpleasant feature of the
same disease that does not bother you
who live in Columbia. refer to the habit
of lettering in the stores where ladies
must go to do their shopping. There
they will gather, and no difference what
a lady wants to buy, they take conVen-
lent position and vigilantly watch the
purchase. Very often a lady wishes to
buV some articles which she would not
like to have all the bummers of the vii
iage help her to examine. As general
thing they have decency enough to stop
telling their obscene stories when wo-
man enters, so this makes lull that has
a tendency to increase the feeling that
she is the target for some half dozen
mir of eyes,n

AMERICAN SHIP REGISTRY.
A Measure hitch viii Boom Our Ship
bN,Udinr Interests.

A Measure hitch viii Boom Our ship
bV,IIding Interests.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-MOnday was q
day when under the rules of the house
it became possible for a majority of that
body to transact business under a sus-
pension of the rules, and as result
there were more bills passed within
few hours Il, III during the entire past
week. The first of these bills to be
passed in effect permits the American
registry of those two fast passenger
steamships, the City of Paris and the
City of New York. 1t is not, however,
free ship IL. because it requires that
nine-tenths of the stock of the company
controlling these vessels shall be owned
by citizens of the United States, and 1t
also Obliges the company owning these
vessels, which were built in England, to
build two vessels of equal tonnage and
speed in American shipyards. The
measure was brought forward by Mr..
Fowler, of New Jersey, and after brief
explanation by Bourke Cochran, of New
York, passed practically without opposi-
ton. This result is on its face Surpris-
ing, because there has been much opposi-
ton to the measure during at least three
congresses. BASED upon the argument
that this Was but an entering wedge for
free SHIPS.
The real reason why the bill was sent
to the senate this time is that during
the controversy with Chill the govern
mert made a tentative offer to purchase
these fast vessels for conversion into
armored cruisers. 1t was then found
that the shi.,s could not be relieved of
the British Tag without three months
notice to the government, and the
emergency was such that under these
conditions their purchase would have
been valueless and the effort to buy
them was abandoned. An objection to
the bill wE:ch is now being urged, Is
that it merely requires the owners of
the vessels admitted to American regis
try to contract to build in American
ship yards steam ships of an aggregate
tonnage of not less i'll amount than that
of the steamships 50 admitted to regis
try 1t is aimed that this would per-
NIT the owners to build say ten small
vessels of an aggregate equal tonnage
instead of requiring them to build two
magnificent steamships of at least 5000
tons each

Dedication Of the New Methodist
Church at Wayne Station.

LAwRENCEBURG, May "a fishing
party was given last Tuesday in honor
of Miss Alice Bond, who is visiting her
sister, Mrs. Afford.
There was "A dance given in the Opera

people pronounced it a success.
Miss Florence Sheppard, of Columbia,

DIR. X. y. Young delivered Il splendid
lecture on Egypt in the Methodist
Church last Saturday night to very APP
preciative audience.
The dedication at Wayne Station last
Sunday was witnessed by a large con-
gregatfOn. After an eloquent sermon by
DIR. Young, he proceeded to raise $2:}6g3,
the Indebtedness of the church. The
amount having been raised, the house
was presented for dedication, and ac-
cording to the beautiful and impressive
service laid down in the Methodist Dis
cipline the house was set apart from all
unhallOwed or common uses to the eX-
elusive worship of Almighty God.
A large congregation assembled again
at night to hear this learned divine
preach on "JeruSalem." For over an hour
and fifteen minutes the congregation
was held spelI-bOund, and such a de
scriptiOn of this wOrld-renOwned city
has never before been heard in this sec
ton. The Doctor was at his best at every
service. He promises to come again.

THE Democrats in Wilson County
gave the Ocalaites choice of weapons
and then whipped them at their own
game. At the convention last Mon
day the delegates we're Instructed t"
vote Tor Peter Turney for Governor.
Wilson County has twenty-five
votes; Of these Buchanan got nine
teen two years ago. Marry a one will
he get this time. Two years ago
LiIlard Thompson, known over the
state for his eloquence, led the fight
for Buchanan; this year he led
for Turney. Buchanan's Ocalaism
changed him. Such changes are
common in every county in the state.
Ask yourself the question whether
Tennessee's Democracy endorses
Ocalaism and secret political parties,
and the answer will also answer the
question whether Turney or Buch-
auan will be Tennessee's next Gov
ernOr.
