A Communication.

A meeting OF ,dies int re-tel in the work
OF the Maine Floral Emblem Society was
held in this city on "Wednesday afternoon
last at the house of Mrs. Geo. w. Martin,
State street. The following ladies were az =
point, to conduct the work of the society
in Augusta and to constitute, with the dis
trct officers already announced, an advisory
committee: Mrs. Frank Partridge, Mrs
F. G.. Kinsmar, Miss Florence Choate,
Miss Daisy Brooke, Miss Alice Reynolds,
Mrs. l.. w. Mason, Miss J. M. Wi!lilm-
son.
The work of the society is progressing
finely in some sections of the State and the
Int of men.b, rs, already a long one, is
steadily increasing.
The object of the society is to obtain an
expression of popular feeling regarding a
State and national flower. The member
ship fee, (25 cents) is used solely for the
expenses of printing and postage. The idea
of q national garland, il which each state
rapidly gaining favor, and may prove the
only practicable answer to the question
What shall be the floral emblem of the
nation?' The Youths Companion" thinks
the garland would say II HUibus
Unum' to the ordinary intelligence more
plainly than the Latin MOTTO"
In Maine the Golden Rod seems favJr-
lite with many and is perhaps leading tn. list
a. the votes come in. The apple blossom
is advocated by some leading papers and
individuals. while the Mayfower Indian
corn, columbine, laurel and white pine
cone all receive share of popular favor
and ore vote has been registered for the
pond lily. The canvas will be open until
October and only votes of members will be
counted.
All inquiries will be cheerful'y answered
by Mrs. A. II. Brsiuerd, secretary, Mrs. G.
W. Martin, treasurer, or Mics Olive r.
Dana, chairman of the district, all to lie
addressed at Augusta.
The society hopes to promote the study
of the flora of our State and an acquaiut-
ance with the common wild flowers of New
England. 1t invites the cooperation of
teachers and all interested in this subject.

Eden.

After the gaiety' and pleasure of
Christmas times our people have pretty
generally fallen back to life and its
duties as they find them.
And certainly we have had a joyous
time, If II were to Judge from the
numerous sociables, big dinners, par
ties, weddings and other such. minor
occurrences.
The season of pleasure was opened
by a sociable given by Miss Lula Viii,
lis at her home and the gaiety and
good humor of the young people was
well kept up by parties given by Miss
Cora ,Owings, the Misses Nash and
others.
Junius was at nearly all of them and
is hig! in his praise. Everybody
seemed to have such q pleasant time
that we would like to have II feImore.
The health of u community is re-
markably good excepting the grippe.
We regret to mention the departure
of our friend Mr.. Chas. L. Brooks, who
goes to tread the school floor at joachim.
May success crown his worthy efforts.
Our Eden Two-wceks Club has done
better than wen its best friends had
hoped for. The house is always
mOsthcncs and Cicero luXuriant and
tropical vegetation. The next subject
for debate is whcthcr'the Dispensary
law is q good law or not. Public in
vitcd.
Our high school still grows. we
think, in numbers and efficiency.
Since II last writing, Mr.. Il. n.
Gray and wife, Mr., j. l.. Mahaifcy,
Mr.. j. b. Nash. our teacher and others
have for IL short time beer very sick,
but arc all out again we believe.
1Messrs. Walter Nash and John
Brooks ran up home for Il few hours
last Sunday. Glad to sec them looking
so well.
We also gladly welcome our friend
Armstrong homo again after his
long stay at Roland's hardware store.
We think he intends to pull the bell
cord over Il hay-bmncr this year. We
cave Il readers to say what carrying
candy in ones pocket and causing some
parlor fires to burn long and low is the
sign OF.
If the county commissioner will takc
the time to cross Rabun Crock at
Whites we are satisfied that he will
nave something done. We want Il
bridge there.
Junius has something to say to the
people of Laurens county about govern
mont, about politics, about education,
business colleges, etc, but it is getting
latc now and he has talked long
enough anyway.
He wishes you all we'll and hopes to
see you %oftcncr. He sends his best

Tho Colorado journalist, Mrs. Rom
ney, has patented, among several other
articles, Il water cooler which does not
require ice. 1t is Il covered receptacle,
of cellular brickware, manufactured of
clay, sawdust and asbestus fiber. In
the process the suwdust is burned out,
leaving the product cellular, or porous.
The receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in a tray of
galvanized iron, which holds water to a
depth of two or three inches. BY reason
of the porOsity of the cooler and the forco
of capillary attraction, tho water in
the tray constantly rises through the

JUDGE COFFlN'S FIRST CASE.
A Bluff That Was Called Down In II Most
HumilintinC Mnnncr.

A Bluff That Was Called Down In II Most
Illuminating Manner.
The following storyis told of Timothy
Coffin, who was fer ~ long time judge of
the New Bedford district: When a very
young man, no was retSincd in a case of
sufficient Importance to bring out almost
every resident of the town, so that
the little New Bedford courthouse was
packed when court was opened that
morning. Coffin had been secured as
counsel by the defendant. Although it
was his first attempt in open court, he
had made little or no preparation, think
ing that he could get through somehow
or other when tho time came. Thus,
when the counsel for the defendant came
into court that morning, he was greatly
surprised, and no less agitatcd, to see tho
big crowd and realize the wide public
interest in the trial at hand. He saw
that ho had looked upon the case too
lightly. The prosecution was strong,
and he had mado not ever II slight pup.
a~ration.
70 lose tho case meant the loss Of a
hoped for reputation. Could he afford to
commit this blunder by displaying his
ignorance of the case2 How could h9 get
out of it? These were a. few of the qties-
tions that ere known to have flashed
through the young lawyers head, for
aftcrward he himself told OF the awful
p~erpleNity of the hour. Being u shruwd
inventor, he devised Il plan. AS soon as
the court had been called to order and
the crier had said his little say he arose
and asked for q ~postponomcnt of the
trial, OF the ground that he had just re-
ceived Il telegram announcing the sud
den and fatal illness of his mother, who
resided at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words of this appeal
proceeded from tho lips of young Coffin,
when an elderly woman quietly arose in
the balcony of the courtroom and gavo
utterance to these words, "Timothy,
Timothy, how many times have I chas-
tised thee for lyingf"
Timothy recognized the sound of that
voice only too well. 1t was that Of his
mother. This being Timothy's first pub
lie case, the old lady had secretly come
up to Now Bedford to SEQ how we'll her
son would do. Her presence was of
course totally unknown to him. The
further developments need not be record
ed here. Suffice it to say that Timothy
Coffin in after years made sure that his
excuses would not be thrown back at
him by any member of his w family.

To n Merchants and Farmers along
the Line of the II. X. s. w. @. R.R,

1t gives me pleasure to notify you
that on and after February LIST, 1894,
q marked reduction will be made in
rates from all Western points to Port
Royal 81 Western Carolina Railway
local stations. This reduction in
freight rates places your station on q
parity with other points in upper Car
olina, and you viii now have as low
rates from the West as any point, on
any of the Railroads in your section of
the State.
1t should enable you to largely cx-
tend your trade. This can now be done
with confidence, knowing that no other
town enjoys better freight rates than
yours. You have always possessed
equal rates from Charleston, Savannah
and Eastern cities, with adjacent sta
tions on other roads, and this reduc-
ton in the Western rates puts you on
u perfect equality.
On the same date q reduction in
rates from Virginia cities will also
occur
There is therefore no reason why
you should not largely increase the
trade in your section and | trust that
you will mutually aid us in building
up this line and the country adjacent
