give the reason for saying at the same
time, that the sheep raising business in
Georgia will not pay. If there are not
ten million dogs in all Georgia, there
are enough to kill the sheep which may
be brought into the state, and that

Was the Jury without Sin.

From the Eufaula Times
Tie story comes from Norcross that
lot of hoary old sinners tried a young girl
in church and found her guilty of wrong
doing and out she goes while they will
continue to adorn the front pews. The
Times has little patience with that feat
ure of church work which requires one
known guilty soul to suffer condemna-
ton and expulsion through the verdict
of sinners who, if the truth was known,
are perhaps, worse than the one they try.
This Georgia woman protests her limo
cence, but if she is guilty of the offence
charged the chances are her accusers are
no better. The Times believes in the
adjuration of our Lord when he told his
disciples that he who was without sin
could cast the first stone.

LOCATING THE ABODE OF SATAN.
-Apropos of recent article in the
New York Times announcing the
discovery Of another satellite of Ju-
piter by a Lick Observatory profess
sor, q correspondent of the news
paper referred to suggests still
more startling discovery which he
would like the professor to verify
with his glass if possible. AS the
discoverer puts it:
If he would get his telescope to a
place where he could observe the
three Magellanic clouds off the west
coast of Patagonia and solve the
question why they always remain
stationary in place and size, and
why one is black and two are white,
seen by day or night, it would clear
question that has puzzled me for
fifty-two years.
In the correspondents view the
black cloud is none other than the
hole made by Satan when he was
cast out of Heaven. In support of
this belief he cites Biblical author
ity. That Satan went INTO the
bottomless pit in the region of
Patagonia he thinks is clear from
the text of Revelation; and he is
convinced that the great number
of volcanoes in the Southern hemis-
Phere is also proof that he is down
in that part of the globe. The two
white clouds are to mark the place
where the hole is
1t would certainly be a startling
climax for the Columbian year,
while the whole continent is cele-
brating one great discovery, il
another discovery OF scarcely less
interest to mankind, theologically
if not geographically, should be
revealed by the searchlight of
science. But, unhappily for the
cause of morals, it would come too
late tn serve as an admonition to
the worlds transgressors, in view
Of the prior discovery of Lieutenant
Totten that the millennium is on
the way, and that the hour of ten
on the dial that marks the coming
Of that era of universal peace and
JOY has already been passed.
