A Plea for the Women.

"Faithful women err in this, that
they think themselves the sole faithful
of Gods creatures" says Charlotte
Bronte, which reminds us Of one Of
the most common errors of these
women who are demanded equal
suffrage and all the other privileges
of citizenship, Parenthetically we
might say that they now have all the
other privileges-earning their own
and their family's living and paying
taxes. It is not an uncommon thing
for woman to complain Of unchival-
rous conduct on the part of men,
while at the same time she was in
sisting that women were In every
way equal to men. For instance,
when Mrs. Lease imagined that an egg
was thrown at her in Georgia she
complained bitterly that she found

Secretary Gresham's Denial.

The report which has been circu-
lated throughout the East by the New
York papers that Secretary of State
Walter @. Gresham had said that he
regarded the Geary law as practically
dead letter, has been fully and Off
cially denied. In conversation on this
subject, with press representative,
Secretary Gresham said: al can't con-
ceive OF the motive of any one in put
ting such words in my mouth. When
you consider how long l have been
lawyer and judge, the idea Of my de-
claring a law TO be dead letter which
has been upheld in the highest court
in the land, it is in the highest degree
preposterous. | want the story con-
tradicted-in fact | have nothing to
do with the matter Congress passed
the law, that was legislative; the courts
upheld it, that was judicial, and it is
now in the hands of the executive OFF,
GERS for their action, and not in the
hands of the state department"
The Chinese minister called on the
Secretary of State yesterday and the
conference between them was extend
ed. Mr.. Gresham expressed himself
in admiration at the intelligence Of
the representative of the flowery
kingdom. Mr.. Gresham says that
when the law is enforced he does not
expect any retaliatory course on the
part of China. In fact, he doesn't be-
lieve the Americans in that country
will be forced to leave or even be dis
turbed in living there.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Closing Exercises.

Friday afternoon, according to pre-
vious announcement, witnessed the
closing exercises Of the scholastic year
at the Interstate College. Being the
first year of the schools existence,
there were no graduates. The pro-
gram, consisting Of orations, declama-
tions and vocal music, was well prepar-
ed and rendered in such q way as to
call forth the unstinted praise Of the
large audience Of patrons and friends.
The institution, though yet young, Is
an assured success, both financial and
otherwise, and has hosts Of warm
friends who are doing much to aid
Prof. Bryant in his worthy enterprise.
Among these is Mr. Joe F. Kirby, who
to encourage excellence in scholarship
among the young ladies, offered as a
prize the deed to lot on College Hill.
This was captured by Miss Ruth
Kramer, with q general average in
scholarship of SO. The prize for boys
was like unto the first and was taken
by Geo. Il. Webber, with q grade Of
SO, as q reward for having attained
the second highest excellence in schol-
arship. Among the young ladies,
Prof Bryant grve to Miss Carrie l..
Cannon five months tuition in the
Library Department of the Interstate
College, and the same among, the boys
to G. w. Rimcs. Miss Cannon's grade
was 90, and G. W. Rimes 85. The
essay prize, Morocco bound Oxford
Bible, was captured by Miss Grace
Farriss.
The closing program Of the music
department under the direction of
Miss Bessie Davis, takes place this af-
ternoon.

unlike the ordinary pills in cheap

They're put up in better way, and

Bilious Attacks, and all arrangements
Of the liver, stomach and bowels, are
prevented, relieved and cured.

Southern presbytery.

The Cumberland Presbyterian AS
sembly in Little Rock, proves to be
one of the most numerously attended
gatherings held in the South for some
years by the members OF this denomi-
nation. The workings Of the conven-
tion have proceeded smoothly and
harmoniously until yesterday, when
the vexed question as TO "whether wo-
men should be admitted as full men,
bers of the general assembly" came up,
causing unlimited discussion and re-
sulting in u complete division in the
ranks of the Texas delegation, which
is generally conceded to be the ablest
body in attendance on the assembly
from any one state. Able arguments
were offered for and against the meas
ure by Texas delegates. Rev. W. L.
Ferguson was elected Moderator, and
will announce the several standing
committees at an early date.

A TRULY NOVEL IDEA.

The oft repeated maxim that "there
is nothing new under the sum-" has at
last been disproven and an idea, en-
tirely new, novel and in every way
unique, has been conceived and offer
ed to the general public for its fearful
and prayerful consideration. The ides
in question deals with a very numer-
Gus class of our modern youths, pro-
ducts of an effete age, born in idleness
and reared in luxurious indulgence
Indeed it is said that the world is
overpopulated with these amiable,
good-looking young men, highly edu-
Gated, healthy and wholly incapable of
earning their livelihood. No ingen-
uity can provide berths for all of them,
but some might be employed as cut
ters-out' This is a new profession.
The duties of the 'cutter-out are few,
simple and agreeable. He or she has
merely to make love and to ride
away. Thus, put it that some
ones daughter, niece, or, it may be,
favorite cousin, has become engaged
to a man who is not liked or approved
by the family. To resist her choice is
futile. Opposition merely fans the
flame of passion. So you send note
or telegram to the central office of the
Society for the Utilization of John
Mes and they dispatch cutter-out.
He is young, handsome, agreeable,
perhaps a lord or an honorable--a
baronet very likely. His duty may be
explained in a word-he is to cut out
the young lady'S aflianced lover, to
make her out of concert with disagree
able person, and then to retire grace
fully to some outlandish part of the
globe. The scheme is peculiarly valu-
able TO parents, but anyone may make
use of it. OF course there may also
be, and should be, female cutters out,
to be slipped at young men who have
entangled their affection undcsirably.
Lord Algernon is fond of the. rectors
daughter, of the gardeners daughter,
Of the whom you will. Instead of
crying, if you are the lady's mother,
or swearing, if you are the duke you
send up to the depot for really first
class cutter-out married lady pre-
ferred. In very few weeks the rec
tors daughter, or the gardeners
daughter, is as disconsolate as Calypso,
and then the cutter-out disappears,
carrying with her the respectful
homage of the family whom she has
rescued"

the vaunted chivalry of the south
only dream. She forgot that she
was demanding the "rights and priv
iliges" of man, though she proposed
to defend herself by appealing to a
sentiment that should always protect
women. AS a matter of fact she
should have been accorded most
courteous hearing. So should every
respectful speaker. Also as matter
of fact every women should be sacred
in the eyes of every man. But we
do not think it consistent politics to
demand thing and at the same time
plead for it ss privilege. Women
may not have thought Of this matter,
but it is bound to be of some conse-
quence in their ever strengthing
struggle for just and rational legal
status. While it is indeed true that
advice masked is not always either &C
cepted or appreciated, yet such earnest
and truthful words as those uttered
above impress us with the belief that
they will find their way, unaided, to
the hearts of all true and devoted wo-
men whose love for their sex and de-
votion to the principles which they
represent are superior to the ignoble
sentiment of mere personal aggran-
disement.

Newspaper Reform.

The many changes and vast i'm
provements in provincial journalism
within the past few decades have been
SO great, varied and in many respects
truly wonderful to the beholder. Per-
haps in no other element of human in
dustry has the progress been, of late
years, so rapid and pronounced as it
has in the narrow realm of provincial
journalism. The many changes which
have already been made, and the
improvement of what is termed the
country newspaper warrant the be-
lief and perhaps foreshadow the COM
ing OF another and even more bene-
fetal change than any heretofore
made. This change involves COM
plete surrender Of that tendency to
excessive voluminousness and move
ment toward the abridgement of size
and letterpress, such as will be con-
sistent with the presentation, in the
completest form and the clearest and
most comprehensive manner, of every
current transaction ofinterest In every
part of this terrestrial globe, giving
to each event such attention as its
comparative Importance and influence
upon human affairs may demand. In
this age, when oil the people of cur
globe are brought into such immedi-
ate communication, and when the
spheres of human sympathy and inter-
est are so rapidly enlarging, the daily
press will have such demands upon 1t
for the publishing Of news that its
pages must be engrossed by the re-
cord Of the worlds events, and desult-
ory discussions into the region Of fic-
ton and fantasy will be out Of order,
as the journalist on the daily press
will have no time and the paper no
place for them.
