The last and most entertaining feature Of
the Institute was the Pronunciation Contest.
A selection specially made for the purpose,
and which had been placed before the North

tute last summe was placed upon the black

contention was to see which teacher would
make the smallest number of mistakes.

OF her laithleSs lover. Mutual friends
started correspondence between Mile
Duhaute and Felix Dumas, a French
man. who came to this country in 1890,
and bought ranch in Oklahoma. The
correspondence led to the engage
ment OF the two, although they had
never seen each other. Finally the
day was set TOR wedding, and
Mile Duhaute, who was governesss at
that lime In Il London family, started
for America to meet her intended hus-
band. The meeting place was to have
been in the office Of French Consul
Long. MIL. Duhaute arrived prompt
ly OH time, but NJ. Dumas failed to
put III an appearance. Consul Long
wroteto the tardy lover, and received
repiy from Dumas Uh 1T he had chaEg-

desire to marry Mile. Duhaute. This
drove the little Frenchwoman distract.

Long informed her friends In London
OF the situation by cable, and the latter

Woman Su hraHe.

w WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Senator
Warren, from the select committee on
woman suffrage, today reported to the
Senate joint resolution to amend the
Constitution, extending the right of suf.
irage to women. 1t provides that the
right of ci izenship shall not be denied
Or abridged by the United States or by
any State on account Of sex, and that
Congress shall have power; by ap.
proprate legislation, to enforce this
provision. Mr.. Vance submitted a
minority report, which states that in the
first session of the Forty-seventh Con.
gress a similar report was made by this
committee, accompanied by the views OF
the dissenting members, and the minori.
ty believe that 1t cannot do better than
to readopt the latter's ideas. The re.
port referred to was submitted by Sena.
tor George on June S, 1882, and sets
forth that the matter IN question in.

Keep Down tho Acreage.

the Augusta Chronicle Is one of the
most practical and farseeing papers
that we know Of, and what it says on
most subjects Is worthy of considera-
tlon. In a recent issue 1t said: "If
the cotton planters OF the South can be
80 fortunate next year as not to pro-
duce more than eight million bales of
cotton, they will be on the high road to
fortune. The present crop will fall
snort OF last years over two million
bales. While this may bc regarded as
misfortune by some people. we have
no doubt that 1t will prove blessing.
Had this present crop apprOximated
that OF last year, cotton would now be-
selling at six cents. This price would
have Impoverished the South and
ruined our people. We have had a
narrow escape from bankruptcy. Our
Planters-forced by the starvation
prices that prevailed last seasOn--Were
compelled to curtail tho cotton acreage.
they planted more gram and other
tood crops. The harvests were good =.
me enforced cotton acreage and the
arger yield OF other crops have result
ed adyantageously. If the same wise
policy Is pursued next year, the price of
cotton will be ten cents, and our farm
er5 will be free from debt. Like the
grain growers of the west, the cotton
farmers of the south have been impov-
erlshed by over-production. This
should be avoided. We know that our
alliance friends maintain that it is not
over production, but under consump
ton that has caused the decline In the
price Of wheat and corn and coLtoL.
But the fact that IA nine million bale
crop sold as low as G1S cents. and that
possible seven million bale crop has
sold as high as ten cents would seem
TO conclude the argument in favor of
the Theory that over production brings
starvation prices. In any event, the
cotton producer will make no mistak g
next spring, If he does not depart
from the policy pursued at the begin
nlng OF the present year. The more
grain and food crops the south pro.
ouceS next year, the more independent
Will cur farmers be a year hence"

The New quor Law,

The new law is better than the old
law for many reasons:
l. 1t divides the profits in the bust
ness. In the first place, the State max
es 80 per cent. Oh the original purchase.
and then the county dispenser is al
lowed to charge his customers profit
of 80 per cent. over the amount which
he pays to the State commissioner for
his liquors. The profits on the county
olspensary Is divided equally between
the county and the town.
>. 1t secures to the consumer q quar-
antee that he ID getting good llquOr at
price much lower than we presume
a licensed bar could afford to sell the
same goods.
The county dispenser, being lid q
salary, Is not interested in Increasing
the sales.

and having to make monthly returns,
he Will be less apt to sell to minors.
drunkards or other persons who would
abuse it's use
.. The liquor in the dispensaries are
sealed up in quantities from half pint
TO five gallons, and the dispenser has no
chance to doctor" it. The consumer
buys 1t in original packages and must
not open itin the dispensary.
.. The dispensary, we believe, will Of
fer less inducements to minors, and
Others to lolter about the premises, and
for this reason they will be less liable
to cultivate the drink habit: The
great objection to open bars is the
temptation they offer to the young.
Men who have formed the liquor habit
will, in many instances, get IL, no mat
ter whether we have bars or not, but If
we do not have bars the boys are more
safe from the dangers of intemperance.
The chief object and aim of the tenn

A Bright Outlook,

The St. Louis Republic thinks the
outlook for the South Is exceedingly
bright. 1t says the rise in cotton dur
ing the past few weeks has made the
South about 300, O,OOOOOO better off than
IL was at the middle Of October, Any
oody can figure it ut for himself on
the basis OF Il 6,50O 900 bale crop and
an advance in pric. from cents IN
price pound to 10 cents The results
TO the South OF the great Democratic
victory cannot be so easily calculated,
contlnues the Republic, but they are
worth IN actual money value many
times $lOO,OOO,OOO. The policy of tariff
for revenue will be worth a great deal
TO every Southern State, by enhancing
the exchange value of its cotton crop,
thus helping to pay it's land mortgages
TO scotch money lenders. In the South
Atlantic States and the Gulf States
east OF the Mississippi, IIarrlson's pro
| posed policy of enacting the force bill,
for the sake of the dozen tariff bills
that were supposed to be in it, acted
with paralyzing force that can be es
timated only by the manifestations OF
Joy and renewed energy that have fol

that hard, narrow and lawless policy
In all this region the election of Cleve

preston, misrule and race conflict into
the certainty of peace, and coDstitu

the South moral, intellectual and ma

OF their industry, ingenuity and frugal
ity, the Southern people are ripe fo
