Didn't Want That Kind.

A boy of IL years, going to confes-
sion lately, revealed to his father con
lessor that he had been guilty of turn
ing " timlams" on the previous Sun
day. The father, DESTROYS to award a
suitable penance, but ignorant of the
exact character of the offence, inquired,
"What are these fimfams, my son 2
"Ill show you, father" said the boy
And he jumped up from his knees and
turned a couple of handsprings before
the confessional box, to the utter as.
tol,ishment but the secret amusement
of the priest. The next penitent in
turn, who had anxiously witnessed this
strange performance, was a stout, red
faced, middle aged woman, who knelt
with evident trepidation and stammer'

Morehouse farmers have nearly all ar
rived at the sensible conclusion that the
only way out of the financial wilder
ness into which they have been plunged
through the operation of various causes
is the adoption of the home sys-
tenn, by making the farms support
themselves. Corn and meat aud mules
can ali be raised here in abundance,
and, under the present system, most
farmers buy all those things with the
proceeds Of cotton which ia not worth
the cost Of production. When Southern
farmers resolve to live at home and
make cotton as Il kind of surplus crop
they will be as independent, so far as
hanks and merchants are concerned, as
Georgia goober grabblers. Experience
keeps an %exacting school. but an educa-
ton obtained therein is worth q mint to
the owner. Southern farmers have
learned a ' lesson from experience.
Let them profit by it.-Bastrop Appeal.

Bro. Watson of the st. Mary Banner.
thus puts the Mississippi River problem
in a nutshell:
If a gallon bucket is receiving an
inch stream Of water, in a short time,
it will fill, and in less time than it took
to fill it will begin running over. But
if it has an inch-and- a-half hole in the
bottom, the probabilities are that it
will never fll.--That's the theory of
the levee and outlet, over which so
much contrary engineering has been
exercised. The sides of the bucket
represents the ~levees, the iapour repre-.
sents the annual overflow, the hole in
the bottom represents the outlet, and
the work of building the levees over
again after each crazy experience, with
out the outlet, represents the govern
ments engineering science. The Ban
Ger believes that the hole in the bottom
is a help, and $" does everybody else
wha has sense enough to venture a lie.

morning. in convention. nominated Joseph p.

William McAlecr. The vote was McCullen, Is;
McAleer. TO- The defeat OF Mr.. McAleer, who
was elected to the Fifty.second and Fifty third
Congresses from the district as an independent
Democrat. was a surprise.
Late last night National Democratic Chair
man Harrity. who heretofore has been q per-
sistent political opponent Of Mr.. McAleer. bat
this tue did not oppose him, said:
Congressman McAleer ought to be nomi-
mated. and think he will be. ! expect the OPP
position To him will not succeed :"
Mr. Harrity this afternoon expressed himself
a. disappointed and mortified" at the defeat
OF Mr.. McAleer. The National Chairman had
assured William NJ singerly. the Democratic
Guternatorial nominee. that he would do all in
his power to bring about Mr.. McAleers nomina-
zion for the sake Of harmony within the party's
ranks. Up to last night" Mr.. Harrity said.
Il had every reason to believe that Mr.. McAleer
would go through all right. although there were
mutterings OF trouble. II looks very much like
a secretly organized scheme on the part Of lead
ers In the Third district"
Mr. singerly declined to discuss the matter.
Mr. McCullen, the nominee, declared this after
noon that he did not expect to be nominated; in
fact, he had not entertained such an ambition.
He saw no reason, however, why he should not
accept the honor.
