THE MORTGAGE LAW.
AN OPINION BY THE SUPREME
COURT.

The decision of the Supreme
court regarding the Mortgage
law has relieved business to a
great extent But it will still
work a great hardship to the
farmer, who has been in the hab-
1t of buying his supplies OH time.
The Supreme court decides that
mortgages given for a present
consideration are valid, but that
a mortgage given for 4 past debt
is only an evidence of debt.
Heretofore, when a farmer could
only make partial payment on
the mortgage given to secure
supplies furnished, the balance
remaining was carried over to
the succeeding year and the
amount included in the mortgage
given for the present considera-
ton. Nearly every farmer who
buys his supplies on time owes
something on the debts of past
years. No new mortgage can
secure this Indebtedness, and all
past debts must be settled before
the new mortgage may be given.

A DEATH DEALING MAID

A TEXAS GIRL WHOSE HAIR ICON

The Buffalo Gap county in Tex

whose fatal qualities lie in her
hair.
The young woman ..is 2I years
OF age and says it is only recently
that her singular power became
manifest. Her hair is of the
course jet black variety and SO
exceedingly long and thick that
when she suffers it to hang down

and the curling ends sweep the
floor as she walks. 1t crisps and
crackles and sparkles when she
combs it and at night gives out
a strange Wierd light. In point
OF fact, she possesses a genuine
article of "shining hair"
So strong is the current of
electricity playing constantly
through her hair that one strand
of it will convey shock to the
person who is SO bold as to touch
it. She discovered her singular
power one night recently when
she stopped. Gown to fondle kit

the cat with a cracking noise
killing the poor creature instant
ly. Since then only a few people
have had the hardihood to exper.
llnent with the matter, but ali
who have touched her hair are
convinced of its electric power
a young physician in the neigh
borhood, who went to test the
case III the interest of science, al
most died of the repeated shock.
he received thereby.
The young woman herself is
greatly annoyed at the sensation
she is creating and threatens tc
to cut off her hair if people
don't stop bothering her about it
but her father and mother look
upon it as a miracle and are
afraid for her to"tamper with it.

WALLED CITY OF NORTH
CAROLINA.

pollocksville, Jones county,
will hereafter be known as the
"walled city of North Carolina -
Pcllocksville, it seems, had a hog
law; that is, they i1npounded
stray porkers that wandered
about the city's streets. This
made the people outside the town
wroth. They didn't propose to
have the freedom Of their swine
abridged in any manner whatso-
ever. Thereupon they had the
Douglas Legislature. to pass an
act requiring a fence to be built
around the town of Pollocksville.

SOCIAL STATUS OF THE ACTOR.
Marked Changes Which Have Taken Place
 Since Shakespeare's Time.

It was only short time ago. as history runs. that the actor was a despised mountebank, a strolling Vagabond who was refused permission to set up his the ater within the city limits of London, says the Hartford Courant The knight ing of Irving points to the other extreme and suggests the great change that has come about in respect of the stage and it's followers No members of the English speaking community are more generally respected, as well as admired, than dis tinguished actors like Irving, Booth and Jefferson. The social position Of the player is now within his own hands, de- pendent, as in other professions, upon his own personal ability and character. No longer is there bar sinister on the shield of the smooth-faced son of Momus; indeed, so fast Is the old feeling changing that the younger generation can hafdiy understand or appreciate it: Yet 1t may be found here and there still and will no doubt survive so long as. the false idea that the play house is essentially ma chination of the devil, an enemy Of the church and all godlipess exists anywhere among the children of men. There IS some historical justification for that view, the student of the English drama must confess, and it will die hard.
 But the signs al show that every day the actor class is being recognized more and more as representative of a great art and a legitimate social need. Public of- ficial recognition, such as that given IT, ying by the queen-something unique In the whole annals of the English stage, and hence having an historic significance and importance-does perhaps more than anything else (save the well behavior ot the players themselves) to confirm the modern actors social place. Another such yindication was the banquet given Tn London the other day to Daly and his troupe of comedians when the lord may or of that very town in years agone nus tied the hummer into the fields, bade the American actors welcome ana treat ed them as honored guests
 How the scene would have astonished Shakespeare, honest yoeman as he was, and shrewd enough to make a comforta- ble fortune out of the not too reputable trade of play making and play acting, and so retire to his native town, there to be quite gentleman, forsooth, far from the maddening crowd, but always ready to have glass and, pipe with any of his fellow -dramatsts-Be Johnson or who- ever-if they chose to go to Stfatford. The position of the actor since the Eliz- abethan times has changed vastly Tor the better Elizabeth would have deemed it an mseemly piece of business to bestow knighthood upon the bard of Avon: Victoria didn't look at it in that way in the case of Irving. And while the bestowal wouldn't have added one jot or little to Shakespeare and hasn't to lrV- ing 1t Is worth something as recog- milton of what they stand for and are. It is interesting in this competitor to notice that Herbert Spencer, in treating "Professional Institutions" in the Popu- lar Ssience Monthly, groups the orator
 poet, actor and dramatist together as originating in thesame sicial impulse.
