Love Triumphs.

MADISON, GA, December 2.-After
weary months of anxious waiting and
watching, E. o. Cochran to-ds.y gain
ed possession Of what he considers Q
treasure-a bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked
| wife of seventeen summers.
The story of this romantic affair was
told in the Constitution day before yes
terday. Cochran married Miss Mary
Conley, the fourteen .year-old daughter
of Samuel W. Conley, in 1891. Conley
has kept vigil over his daughter ever
| since, guarding her at the point OF shot
gum! Conley had Cochran indicted In
Putnam superior court for kidnapping.
The case was carried to the supreme
court and the decision reversed, that
tribunal holding that Cochran could
claim his lawful wife with her consent,
and that Conley could not prevent him
from 80 doing. Nevertheless Conley
had the girl, and Cochran could not get
her away from the psternal roof, Coch-
ran was granted writ Of habeag corpus
for the possession of his wife,, and the
case was set for trial before his honor,
Judge II. w. Baldwin, Of tho county
court, at 10 pollock thia morning. At the
hour named large crowd filed into the
courtroom. AS the Constitution man
walked in, he spied the girlish.looking
wife sitting near stove, beside Sheriff
Sears.
Her husband was sittiug over near the
other stove, conyersing with his attor-

he said, hdismiss the case. will not de-

Turning to his daughter the irate father
jerked off her hat and marched out Of the
courtroom. "Mr. Sheriff, call Mr.. Con-
ley back" said Judge Baldwin, He was
brought into court and the Judge told
him he had acted very unbecomingly in
open court, and that be could either pay
fine of $40 or apologize to his daughter
then ana there, and restore to her the
hat which he had 10 rudely snatch
ed from her head, Conley said
he would not apologize, but would pay
the fine.
Tho case was then dismissed, the Judge
ordering the sheriff to collect the fine
and all costs of court from Samuel W.
Copley.
The bride and groom then greeted each
other and received the hearty congratu-
lations oil number OF friepdg present.
The happy couple them walked down to
Mrs. Furlow's millinery store, where
the groom had the pleasure of buying his
wife new bridal hat.

ST. REGIS INDIAN BASKETS {!

Mr.. EDITOR: The St. Regis tribe
of Indians are located on a Reserva-
tion of 1900 acres In Western Kansas.
The tribe numbers 2,100 souls, inclu-
ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They
still adhere to their own language, few
of them being able to speak English.
They, like the red men in general,
never wantto be civilized enough to do
much hard work. That is one of
the accomplishments of the pale-face
that they regard as unfit for warriors,
and should only be tolerated when per-
formed by squaws. During the hunt
ing and fishing season the bucks are
seldom found at home, as they had
rather hunt a deer ten hours a day
for a week than hoe half acre Of
corn. This rambling life, spent on rip
pling streams, mirror lakes and virgin
forests, studying the beautiful foliage,
the exquisite colorings of the forest
leaves, the lovely hues Of the prairie
flowers, and their natural blending and
shading to produce brilliant and snowy
effects. These dreamy hours, spent in
studying nature, has developed a very
keen conception of the artistic blend
ing of colors, so as to produce most
gorgeous results. For centuries past
they have studied the making of bril-
liant and delicate colored dyes, until
that they can dye strips Of wood that
cannot be distinguished from the finest
colored ribbons. These strips of ash
are then heated, so that the colors will
be "fast," when they are wound in and
out in the most beautiful styles Of Bas-
kets, and when finished they represent
a picture Of color-blendipg unequalled
in studio.

Both houses Of the General Assembly
will go to Augusta ato-morrow-i. g., such
members of them as are In the city.
Nothing of interest was done In the
House to-day except the Introduction oi
land, of Kershnw, provides high license
system as substitute for the Dispensary
Law. The minimum license IL fixed at
$500, one-half of which is to go to the
towns, the other to the county treasury.
County Boards of Control are to approve
when they see At application for licenses,
which must be recommended by twelve
freehold voters Of the neighborhood. At
least six Of the latter must be white.
Applicants must give bond in $4,000 to
pay licenBes and keep orderly houses.
If saloon keepers sell to persons to whom
they have been notified not 70 sell, they
arc liable for damages. Their bonds are
also liable. Sales to minors and inebri-
ates are made punishable By fine and
imprisonment. On petition of one-third
of the voters Of county, elections for
s'license" or 'no license" are to be held.
Kirkland Is leading member Of the
House and his introduction of this bill is
significant evidence Of dissatisfaction
with the Dlspensary Law.
Willie Wolfe, OF Orangeburg, WILL
introduce bills FOR the establishment OF
land banks and the regulation Of issues
of Clearing House certificates.
The Dispensary bill will come up
Wednesday perhaps.
Blease's bill for the exemption of
dwellings on farms from taxation for FIVE
years has been unfavorably reported.
The number of bills so far introduced
Is large. IF they are all considered and
the Breazeale code read, it appears 50 me
impossible for the business to be COM
pletad without session after Christmas.

A VERY GOOD REASON !!

"a retail Shoe dealer died last
week, but on reaching heaven was
refused admittance by St. Peter,
hi, name not being on the books.
He then applied at the other
place, but was also refused by Sa-
tan, his name not being on the
books. At this second refusal,
the poor man, throwing up his
hands in an agony of despair,
exclaimed, Great Scott ! have I
got to go back to the retail Shoe
business p"
P. S.-Why is it that the poor
fellow had such a hard time =?
Well, when we tell you, you
won't wonder. To begin with,
he carried a Shoddy stock Of
Shoes, with paper insoles, and
sold them at high price; con-
sequently, when the goods were
put to the test they didn't stand.
Do you wonder that he didn't
gain entrance at either gate.
Such a dealer is not wanted any
where. We want dealers in
every line to buy good goods that
will sell on merit, and be full
value for the money paid. This
is just what

Kuchan, city in Khorrassan, in
the northern part Of Persia, was recent
" destroyed by an earthquake. Great
fissures were opened, and water gushed
from them causing river to overflow
its banks. Many houses were shaken
down and people were swept away by
the high waters. It was estimated that
a thousand or more lives we're lost in
that city, which had 10000 to $4,000 in

more than four and n half, ofteDer but

train suddenly came to sharp curve
