LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
We are just back from presbytefy,
West Point, which the "better three
fourthsn and myself enjoyed very
much. We were entertained at the
palatial home Of Banker T. NJ. Nose
ley, who Is we'll schOoled in South =
ern hospitality by a most excellent
wife. We shall long remember the
kindnesses shown us.
w. D. Stephenson, Jr., Of Caledo-
mia, Capt, w. A. Harris and A. P.
Presley, of Woodlawn, we're present
from this side.
Rev. J. G. Annette, pastor Of fhe
West Point church, and the oldest
minister OF his denomination in the
state, IS now very low, having just
passed through several severe re-
lapses and complications Of malari-
al fever
Rev. T. B. Woods successor has
not been named yet. 1t is conceded
by everv one that his place cannot
be filled as nobly and self-sacrific-
ingly as he filed it.
Uncle William Stephenson has
returned from very pleasant visit
to his daughter in-law in Lee cOun-
ty. 1t will be remembered that his
son Whit was brought home and
buried last spring. The widow and
children are doing nicely. He
brought granddaughter back
with him, who is now in school at
Oak RIDGE. 1t Is needless to say
that she Is in good hands and will
receive more than a parents care.
Prof. E. T Lawrence has returned
from the exposition, and reports a
pleasant and profitable trip.

ance at the exposition last week.
Miss Annie Lawrence and Miss

tatives at the l. I. & c., spent Thanks

tlaair many frionds End admirers.
Mr.. Ira CASTOR and Rob Egger,
entered school Tuesday, making a
fine addition to our young men.
Messrs. Perry Werner, r, NJ. Nick
les, John Nickles and myself were
royalty entertained on Monday
night by our big-hearted friend and
brother, DR.. Hutchinson. The doc
tors genial dJunteuance and open
heart is easily explained by "a visit
to bis equally pleasant and enter
tanning family.
Mr.. Werner aud myself were mi.
tailed into the mysteries of the I. 0.
o. F., which, to say the least, is a
grand institution for preserving and
intoxicating the principles of frater-
nifty as set forth in the "Holy Writ
We are somewhat bruised in spots
owing to Bro. McQuown's anxiety
to show a fraternal feeling for us
while IN the tolls Of "goatism."
Our brevity this week Is due in
part to the eclesIastical and frater-
nal world as circumscribed by the
PresbYterY and l. o. o. +.

If the next legislature, IN dealing
with the public school question,
shall in some way release the state
from the payment of any sum what
ever to support the schools, it will
90 we'll. Let a term of say six to
eight months be made compulsory
in every district IN the state, and
then let each county, or each dis
trlct, levy a sufficient tax to provide
funds to carry on the school. The
News mentioned this matter some
months ago, aud still believes that II
is the most practical solution o. the
question that is agltating so many
minds. Let the legislature make a
general school law, applicable alike
to all the counties in the state, and
then leave the taxing power to the
various counties or districts. If II
is necessary to change the conshtu-
tion to do this, then let the question
be submitted as soon as possible

JUDGE CAMPBELL argues that the
law in regard tc concealed weapons
should be abolished. Would it not
be better to try more rigid enforce
ment first? Let every fellow go to
jail who is proven guilty. When a
person does not give in his pistol to
the assessor, let HIM go to JAIL also.
This law does not prevent a person
from owning a pistol at all. Keep a
pistol If 20 want to; carry it when
you travel where you Go not feel
safe; have one in your house for the
protection of your family; and re-
port it to the assessor like an hon

The South has hitherto been
spared the invasions which, during
the last quarter of a century, have
caused some parts of the West to be
overrun with hOrdes from foreign
shores scarcely less inimical to
prosperity and civilization than
were the Huns and Vandals who
overrun TIE Roman empire, and the
South wants none Of these people
now. There is not in the South any
of the Intollerant spirit of know
nothingism; the foreigner, as for
elgner, Is as welcome as the man
from Ohio or Kansas, and none
could be more heartily welcomed
than he hut there Is no idea more
universally, more firmly fixed IN
the Southern mind, than that of de-
termined opposition to the immigra-
tion of the ignorant and vicious
Let the anarchist, the socialist and
the enemy of law and order remain
away; the South does not propose
to repeat the experiences of Pitts
burg, Chicago and other sections
which have been cursed by the mis-
chievous activities of this pestifer-
ious crew. To the industrious, law
abiding, God-fearIng man, be he
foreign born, naturalized or nativB,
the South extends a hearty invita-
ton to come and share in the Ger.
tain prosperity which is before her.;
to come where lands are cheap, ma
ture kind and the rewards OF labor
sure and generous; and to the i'm
migration agent, who Is striving to
show to the people of other states
how greatly they improve their
condition in life by taking up their
homes in the South, we acknowledge
a great debt of gratitude on behalf
of the South. The South wants and
expects to receive a heavy immi-
grafton within the next few years;
but it must be Of the right sort; and
she will be found heartily seconding
any efforts which may be made to
place governmental restriction on
the character Of foreign immigrants
who seek a foothold on American
shores.-SOuthern Stares,

Of the engines as they came into play.
Just then a burly sailor burst in the
door, flung life preserver on the floor
and exclaimed; "To the deck for your
life; the boat is on fire." 1t was but the
work Of a second 10 leap from the bed
and buckle that life preserver around
ma, and then, with watch in one hand
and pocket book in the other, 1 made a
bee-line for the deck. Down the long
deck I sped, my airy draperies floating
gracefully about me, when / observed
that was the center Of attraction. The
ladies gazed on me in astonishment; (;
young ladies, to some Of whom 1 had
been playing the devoted, were in a
perpetual giggle, while some young
fools Of my own sex rolled over and
o er in paroxysms Of laughter. Then,
too late, the fatal truth dawned on me
thatit was a false alarm, and they had
omitted to notify me. The deck would
not open to swallow me, as hoped, and
on ce more / shot like a white meteor to
the seclusion Of my cabin, and when 1
emerged several hours later the treats
were on me for several rounds.
Gentlemen Of the various fire compa-
nies, the Lurlines throw open their
doors ard their hearts % you tonight.
And they ask you that inasmuch as
they have seen youl bravery and cour-
age when the changing Of the fire bells
broke into the peaceful silence Of the
night to exhibit that same courage and
staying power in the attack upon the
good cheer they lay before you. To the
Mayor and Council no formal words Of
welcome are necessary, for under their
fostering care and protection the fire
department has grown and prospered,
and the Lurlines are proud to offer them
this small token of respect and grati-
tuJe. To each one of the guests ] ex-
tend a sincere and heartfelt welcome.

Americans have flocked to Europe
this season, and a London paper
places the number of American
tourists visiting London at 10000.
This does lot include the thousands
who did not visit London, but esti-
mates the expense of each ct these
100000 at 81, 1000, and it is perhaps
too low an estimate, showing an ex-
penditure Of $130,OOQ,O0O of Amer
lean money in Europe in one sea-
son. 1t will take a vast amount of
exports to recoup this drain, and it
can not be wondered at that gold
exports continue heavy.-Nashville

there is a Leather Trust in the

has advanced the price of soleIeath.

Editor Clayton OF the Republican
is after Receiver Glover with a
sharp stick. He calls attention to
the fact that every Democratic
newspaper on the Road even inciud
ing small monthly publications are
supplied with passes, while the two
Republican Journals, the Sentinel
and the Republican, have to pay
their fare. "Of course says Ed.
tor Clayton, ''there is no politics in
it. "-Ellijay Sentinel.
The above does Mr.. Glover a
grave injustice. He is not dealing
out passes to "every Democratic
newspaper on the road" The Ma
rietta Journal is = a Democratic
newspaper and we have not had a
pass over that road in many years,
but we pay our fare when we travel
over it. Therefore if his home pa
per does not complain, we do not
see why the Jasper Republican and
Ellijay Sentinel, should raise such a
howl for not being given d pass.

The man who pines for other
peoples lives is not only silly but
stupid. The world you covet was
not made by disconnected people,
who were always looking about for
something better to do. You may
want to travel, to see great works of
art and beautiful cities. Do you
ever realize that these things were
created by people who stayed at
home and did their proper task and
did It gladly and joyfully? You
have the same world to live in that
other men nave had, and what YOU
DO OF yourself counts, and every bit
OF assistance which you take from
another weakens you so much and
makes you small in the eyes of men.
