DEMOCRACY IN LAMAR.

lIEmOChACI IN LA MAN.
 VERNON. July 31.--Today has been full of interest, politically speaking, in Ver- non.
 On Saturday last the democrats of this place learned that Messrs. J. B. Sanford and A. P. Longshore, Jeffersonians, would be here today, though it appears to have been known to their followers over here before the democrats knew of their coming.
 The Jeffersonians over hera have been pretending to want joint discussion, so the democrats, as usual, seized the oppor- tunitv to accommodate them. Saturday night dispatch was sent to the chairman of our campaign committee, who chaDced to be in Birmingham, to send us a speaker. He responded by securing the services of such splendid persons and good democrats as Judge Arnold and Capt. Frank White of Birmingham.
 The Jeffersonions knew nothing of the coming of these gentlemen until short y before they arrived, and just imagine how they felt when they saw their wish CD for joint discussion was to be gratihed.
 The Jeffersonian speakers divided time by taking the opening and closing.
 MT. Longshore spoke first for forty mn- utes, aud was followed by Judge Arnold for an hour; then came MT. Sanford for an hour who was in turn followed by Captain White in one hours speech. MT. Long, shore closed in speech of three- quarters of an hour.
 The crowd consisted of only about 12o voters, about equally dlVlded as to parties.
 There was only one man present who is a Kolb follower that has ever been true bine democrat. The rest of the Kolb crowd were republicans straight. except a half dozen that have been on the fence always. MT. Longshore talked about national is- sues principally. He abused Oates about his educational speech and bankrupt bill. Judge Arnod's speech was Of a high t)ne and good effort. Mir. Sanford was so badly ratted that he made no impression. His former law partner did not stay to hear him.
 He seemed to be sorry that his friend had gone off after Kolb.
 Mir. Whites speech was a fine campaign talk, and he made good impression. It is thoug ht that not a vote was made or lc st either way, but the democrats secured and fastened their grip over here by the pres-' ence of the two democratic speakers It was like nice shoWer-it refreshed them and gave encouragement. Lamar will go democratic this lime fr om top to bottom, it is generally thought, by about 300 ma jority. Ten beats sure for democcsoy, three doubtful, and five for Kolb, is your cores srSuaeur's information from the va fious sources. The democrats will carry all the large beats sure.
 Good reports come from all over the county of the fine ST eeches and i;ood work of our democratic nominee for representa- tive, J. D. McCluskey.
 F D. G. w. Hollis, the KoIb candidate, is said to be badly hacked. McCluskey is too much for him.

AGNES SCOTT INSTITUTE.
One of the South's Most Popular Schools-The Work It
 Is sD~ing.

The next session of this noted boarding and day school for young ladies commences ou September 5, next. The past year has been one of widespread financial depression, but notwithstanding this fact the institute has had prosperous year.
 No school in the south has enjoyed more constant and brilliant success than the Agnes Scott, and the causes of this success are evident
 1. It's location in north Georgia is un- rivaled the local surroundings are ideal, Decatur having long been noted for it's refined, educated and religious society.
 2. A large and accomplished corps of trained and experienced teachers, each member of the faculty having been selected for his or her character and special qualih- cations for the chair occupied.
 8. Thorough work. The utmost effort is made to do thorough teaching, and no clre- less or antiquated method are used. None of the officers or teachers have any financial interest in the mapag ement of the institute, and each teacher is able to give his or her entire time and undivided and dlsinterested attention 10 the work of instructing. Pupils not making satisfactory progress or not improving their time are not allowed to waste the money of parents by further at tendance.
 The cirriculum is already high. It is riGidy pursued and is being steadily ad- vanced as the school grows in years. It is the desire and aim of the trustees and faculty to place the Agnes Scott as the leader in eevating the standard of female education in the south.
 The special depart ments, as music and art, are well equipped and under charge of skilled specialists, are fully abreast of the times and the best shools.
 1. The low scale of fees, these having been fixed not with the view of money making, but simply to cover current ex- penses, repairs and equipment.
 5. The superb buildings were constructed especially for school purposes after the best approved plans; They are all of brick, scientifically ventilated and supplied throughout with hot and cold water saed fire hose. sa. f-fft- For catalogue, etc., apply to

DR.. John Eye, Readings skin grating
specialist, who year ago rmore gained
considerable notoriety by successfully
transplanting skin from the forearm Of
colored man to the leg of white man
and who subsequently manufactured a
dime museum freak by planting flow
ing mustache upon the upper lip of
handsome young woman. is continuing
his experiments in that direction. The
doctors latest achievement, performed
with every evidence of success, is that
of supplying baldheaded man with a
covering of hair that football PLAYER
might envy. The patient upon whom
this operation was performed is Charles
Mueller, of Washington, and the subject
from whom the material was drawn to
cover the bare spot on the patients head
was Mr.. Gertiesu.
DR.. Eye removed from the head of
Gertiesu piece of scalp 1t inches wide
by 81 inches long, well covered with
hair, and replanted it upon the head of
Mueller. The soreness created by the
removal of portion of Gertiesu's scalp
is almost healed. the doctor having so
skillfully drawn the lacerated scalp To-
gether as to almost remove all evidence
of its removal with the exception of two
small spaces, which he purposely left
with the view of further experiments
He will cover those spots with hair cov-
cred skin taken from some animal, and
upon the successful attachment of that
transplanted animal skin upon the head
of Gertiesu depends the fate of the flu
ture baldheaded men.
If the doctor be successful the bald
will no longer be compelled to hide their
badness under the old fashioned, I'M
comfortable wig, but can simply sur
render themselves to the doctor and have
transplanted to their pates the covering
of some other fellow who is willing to
surrender his hair for golden salve.-

Wild Horses In British Columbia.

In an area of about fifteen miles square
below Trout creek there is estimated to
be band of at least 700 wild horses
which are not only eating off the range,
but becoming more direct source of
loss to stock owners. AS an instance of
this it may be mentioned that a mare
belonging to George Barclay and valued
at $780, together with valuable filly,
were enticed into the band recently.
The government, so far, though sew
eral times petitioned, seems indisposed
to tackle the wild horse question or give
permission to settlers to shoot down
these miserable cayuses, thinking that
they are all claimed by the Indians.
The Indians, however, are as much in
jured by them as the whites, and fire.
quently shoot them down, though GER
tainly claiming some among them. All
false sentiment should be put aside in
case of this kind and permission given
for general roundup by both whites
and Indians, to take place at stated
date. If this is allowed the wild horse
farce will be put an end to without cere-
ony.-Victoria News

A case was reported recently of an
engineer being killed by his head strik-
ing against sagged telegraph pole as he
leaned from his cab window. and several
instances are lately noted of brakemen
being swept from the roof of cars by
bridges. But perhaps the most singular
accident of this kind occurred in Mis-
souri, last week. An engineer of an Iron
Mountain train was leaning out of his
cab window passing Williamsville when
he was caught by the mail catcher-the
iron pole and hook arrangement for
catching the mails from moving trains
and pulled clean from his engine,
through the window, falling beside the
track as his train passed on. He was
seriously injured. -Exchange.

Death Must Have Been a Relief.

Rose Donahue, who died at Pawtucket,
R. l.. a few days ago, had been bedrid-
den, it is said, for thirty-eight years.
The deceased was remarkable for her
memory and intelligence. When she was
nine years old she was stricken down,
and from that time never left her bed.
After a time her feet became locked one
upon the other and knitted together
the right being concealed beneath the
left. Her hands were without palms,
and four bits of homeless flesh six inches
long on the right wrist and three on the
left were her fingers. Her head was alb
normally large, and her hair long, and
her face and eyes expressive. She was
also dwarfed by the disease, and at the
time of her death was but three feet in
height.-Philadelphia Ledger.

BEAUTYS METEMPSYcHoSlS.

That beauty such as thine
Can die indeed
Were ordinance too wantonly maltgni
No wit may reconcile so cold a creed
With beauty such as thine.
From wave and star and flower
Some effluence rare
Was lent thee, a divine but transient dover;
Thou wieldst it back from eyes and lips and
hair
To wave and star and flower.
Shouldst thou tomorrow die,
Thou still shalt be
Found in the rose and met in all the sky,
And from the oceans heart shalt sing to me,
Shouldst thou tomorrow die.

SONG.

Golden face that human sorrow
May not touch nor make less fair
Luster from you let me borrow
Sunbeams that shall Danish care.
All the grief of all my years
In your presence disappears.
Dear, delightful, dark blue eyes!
Life seemed like an autumn day,
Hope was as flame that dies,
Till you shone across my way;
But when your great glory broke
Ger my life this love awoke.
Love of you now conquers grief;
Love of you makes life gain.
As fading woodland leaf
Shines in sunlight after rain,
So the realm of my distress
Wears a new and radiant dress.
All, but shall keep the BOOM
VIII you always he TO me
Stars of morning, suns Of noon,
Lamps to bid the darkness flee2
Dearest eyes, know your light
Will content me till the night.

A Little French Is a Dangerous Thing.

n LitIio Is u dangerous ln1ng.
Several American journals published
a recent dispatch from Paris that might
easily have been manufactured in New
York. in which a coup detat, military
revolution and state Of siege, followed
by possible executions, were all men,
toned, just as if one of the South Amer
lean republics were referred to, instead
of France in the year 1898.
We don't wish to say anything disa-
greeable to the author of this correspond
ence, but perhaps he might do well to
make himself little more familiar with
the terms used in political language
When he said that the people feared "a
coup d'etat on the part of the royalists
against the republic" he evidently meant
u coup de main, because coup d'etat
can only be made by an established gov
eminent. 1t is violent measure to
which the chief of state has recourse
when he wishes, for example, to get rid
of a troublesome legislature, as in the case
of Louis Napoleon on the Cd of Deem
Der.
At the present time in France Presi-
dent Carnot alone can make a coup
d'etat, but the republic has nothing to
fear from the grandson of the organizer
of victory. AS to pretender like the
Due d 'Orleans. all that he could attempt
against the republic would be coup de
main similar to those which threw
ridicule upon the future Napoleon III at
Strasburg and Boulogne, and, more
over, Louis Napoleon had partisans in
the army. which is more than can be
said of the Due d'Orleans.-New York

covered in a sad, gray huddle under the
boat sail and scarcely stirred, with hun
ger and thirst gnawing at our hearts
and horrible chimeras of plenty and
abundance fitting hectic through our
drowsy brains.
We made no more attempts to see the
confines of our island prison-why
should we? But now and then one of
us would crawl out and wiring few
drops of tasteless moisture from the
mist laden sail stretched between two
stones, or one of those desperate moth
ers would wander away to the beach to
look for shellfish and to be out of hear
ing for time of the pitiful crying of
her children. And thus we waited for
the end.
When we woke in the gray of the
third morning we found young Hay
ward, the steward, sitting among us,
quite dead, as we had left him sitting
alive last night, and Trower was dead
that evening, and Ellis and Warner were
raving. And now the blessing of sleep
and forgetfulness went from us one by
one, and all through the dreadful hours
of darkness we sat and listened to the
rattle of each others parched Threats
and the mutterings of their delirium.
Some time that night remember Elsie,
the yellow haired delight of the crew,
had begged to be taken outside, and her
mother and some of us crawled with
her to where the sinking wind might
blow on her flushed face in the darkness.
She lay still minute, then on sud
