The course agentleman should pur-
sue where questions Of honor are on
cerned varies in different countries
German Or Austrian officers hew down
with their sabres in the public street
any unarmed civilian whom they
deem to have insulted them ly VOID
or deed, or even by look. From Il
legal pOintof view they are ali wrong,
but according to military ethics thej
have no other course open to them.
They must guard not only their "
honor, but that Of the corps to viii h
they belong. The officer who al ows
an insult to go UNPUBLISHED is forced
to leave the army, and is subjected to
50 iai ostracism. You affect a mans
honor in Europe If you fill his glass
by slanting the bottle backward in
stead of forward. In the same way,
in the Orient, If in showing the blade
of a sword to an acquaintance YOU
happen to turn the edge thereof to-
ward him, he will consider lis
honor %inpugned; and il by any
chance he is q japanese he is capable

document stating that, having been
insulted by you, honor demanded that
he should commit hari-kari, and call

avenge him by killing you In con-
nection with questions pertaining to
honor it is a peculiar fact that even
in republ. can countries, where, the
oret cally at any rate, all men are
supposed to be equal, IL is a quality
that is considered to be monopolized
by those Of gentle birth and breed

A Eianhla Work.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 23.-A
special from Tuskegee says that Eli
Philpot has been arrested and that he
has confessed to the numbering Of the
two little colored girls found murdered
on Friday last at point about i've
miles North of Tuskegee. Philpot Is q
young negro Of about 20. His arrest
grew out of the discovery of the tracks
made by a pair of old shoes given the
murderer by George Sinclair, the father
of the murdered children. The mur
derer is brother of the mother of the
story Of the crime; how he persuaded
the children in the absence Of their
mother to leave the house with him
how he carried the younger one In his
arms; how he split their heads with an
axe and after killing them, carried them
some fifty yards and placed them to-
gether under tree, because, he said,
he did not think they onght to be seper-
ated. He said he had been offered three
dollars by other negroes to kill the
children, but that he did not take the
money becanse he did not think 1t
right to kill them for money. Addition.
al to giving an account Of the horrible
murders he also confessed to having
set fire to q number Of buildings, the
burnings Of which had heretofore been
mystery. He said that others were
implicated in the burning of the build
ings and that he had each time been
delegated to apply the torch. THIS band
Is composed Of both men and women
and several Of them have been arrest.

A bOuthern Invention

CHATTANOOGA, April 24.--A Chat
taneoga company has just completed and
had patented o continuous automatic roll
train, for converting steel bil)ets into
rods and hoops, that they claim will
revoiutlonize that portion Of tho steel
manufa curing business. The blllets OF
steel when once placed in the rolls can,
without being again handled, be brought
out in any dimension or shape wanted.
It 10 claimed this will save fully 81 so
on every ton of steel handled. The pa
tent roller was built by Stanley o.
Haskins, O son of The patentee and
builder of the first continuous rolls ever
made and which ale now used in nearly
every largo steel mill in the United
States. A company has also been
formed in this city to put the patent into
Immediate use and is now putting three
of tho rolls in place and will within the
next thirty days begin the manufacture
Ol cotton ties on a largo scale. With
the new machine, the billet of steel is
put into tho rolls aud when next seen is
q cotton tie ready for bundling anG
shipping. The machine will reduce the
cost of manufacturing cotton ties by
about $2 por ton.

Young Peoplo on tho Farm

1t Is certain that the extraordinary

In all the older states farmhouse after

the problem Is for just the good, we'll

| almost everything, in truth-depends
on their own will power. A man can

unless he first gives down In his own

has no such will power, though any
something ought to be done to lessen the
tide Of human life that ceaselessly flows
from country to city. 1t can be done
by making farm life more attractive
and remunerative to young people. The
person who cannot earn living in the
country Is sure not to be able to do 80

humans statements, as published In

liquor situation, had the effect Of
causing many liquor dealers here to

saloons resumed operations Just as be-

looked very strange to see men walk
into a saloon and find beer on tap, get
cocktails, mint juleps and all kinds OF
mixed drinks without the slightest
trouble. No city or State licenses are
being paid, and things are running
along as If nothing had happened. But
this does not apply only to Columbia

same thing was witnessed yeste rday In
