of AIimony.
George r. Tolman, a clerk in the Treas
ury Department. and against whom suit
for maintenance, instituted by his wife,
has been pending for four years, appeared
before Judge Cole yesterday and made a
payment OF $50 as alimony. He also
gave security for the pa yment of similar
sum on April /.
The history of this rather interesting
case has already been told In The Times.
The warden of the Jail recently filed a
petition asking that Mr.. Tolman be COM
PEELED to show cause why he should not
be imprisoned for contempt in refusing
to pay alimony, as ordered by the court,
and yesterdays action was in pursuG nee
OF the petition.

The editor Of the San Francisco

ISM OF San Francisco LAYS it to the
elm attic condition of California. He
saws:
The peculiar climatic conditions
which prevail here necessarily pro-
duce a departure in conduct from the

conditions do not exist. An excess Of

REFRESHING climate naturally tend to
make Us free, hearty and aspiring

It's gladness and sunshine and cheer
1t is not in vigorous human blood to
resist the temptation to go abroad in
the fine free air and drink of the cum
which nature has filled to the brim
with precious life-giving offerings.
The above is a very delightful
specimen OF the cool airy logic that a
a man sometimes blows through his
hat in tbs San Francisco papers at Sic
a column. 1t is ridiculous to Law
~wickedness to sunshine.
The fact that the sun don't shine
in San Franciso over SO days in the

Sunshine or the lack of it don't

Il OLD THING.

Since Edward Townsend has made
such a success with his boek Chin
mle Fadden' and his play the Exami-
ner and Chronicle mention him as the
"California Author"
Now as a matter Of fact his success
in the world Of letters is in 30 wavdre
to his being a Californian. He got
his first training as a writer under
Dennis Mccarthy on the VIRGINIA
Evening Chronicle.
He went t" San Francisco to work
on the Examiner, but no one en- that
paper was able to discern any talent
in his writing. He also tried the Chron-
lcle, out with h same success. His
work was not acceptable and he was
not able to earn SIS a week with his
pen. He accordingly turned to New
York and the Sun, always on the alert
Tor fresh talent, soon took him to it's
bosom and allowed him full swing.
AS a result he made a hit directly and
is now enjoying fame and a fat in
come, two desirable things for a man
who writes.
He never got a helping hand in San
francisco and he owes that city moth
ing He is a product Of Virginia City
and New York.

rles refused by the Examiner and

The failure OF Il political party 10

pie after it has been placed in Il
position to do 50 indicates a lack
Of capacity to fulfill its pledges,
The Democrats promised Us much
in the way Of lighter taxes and
higher prices. a larger demand fur
labor and foreign market for sur
plus products. In fact. il would be
hard to cnumcrate all the promises
they made to win the masses to
their side, and eventual Y the mas
>es were won by them. The power
that was to work these wonders
was tariff reform. How many
of these Democratic promises
have been redeemed. Has tariI
reform increased the price of wheat,
or the price Of manufactured plo-
ducts. or the price Of labor. Has
it opened foreign markets or Great
cd Il greater demand for labor. or
has it even li1htencd the burden of
taxation! The party in power can
not truthfulIy say that it has full
filled Il single one Of its many
promises, nor does it attempt to
explain why it has not done 50.
The hard times which have prevail

of the government have knocked

mcnt that may he presented in
favor OF continuing the Democratic
party in power, III the hope that it

success by these entcrprising citizens.
under the lead Of the Rev. j. Leland
Kennedy. For twenty years: or more,
up to and including the war, was this
institution the beacon star Of advanc-
cd education in this section of coun-
try. The rules for boarding houses
and school were the same, and very
rigid. but occasionally the boys would
break over. always to their discomiit-
ure. On one occasion when the boys
had gotten some whiSkcy and had &
debauch on Saturday night. they were
brought up for trial on Monday morn
ing. aud after a pretty full investiga-
tion, the guilt was fastened upon scv-
cral of the boys. Before passing SEN
tencc the teacher lcctured the whole
class of boys on the evils of drunken
ness, he warmed up to his subject, and
waving his hand to the girls said
"Girls, never marry drinking man
One of the boys who showed his guilt
by his bushes, said : Mr.. Kennedy,
| reckon they'll wait until they are
axed." This tart remark upset the
gravity of the court, and they we're
all dismissed to their books. Many
such incidents-enough to fill Il
dime novel-might be picked up. had
we the time, in connection with
this noted institution of learning and
it's environments.
Suffice it to say. in conclusion, that
what was once considered the garden
spot of the Piedmont belt, has lost
nearly all of it's former prestige as an
agricultural community, yet the fer
tile soil Of the Three and-Twenty
lands remains for the present and fu-
ture generation to develop and bring
up to its original fertility, and even
surpass 1t.
The cemeteries at Carmel and the
old Pickens graveyard contain the
sleeping dust of most of the genera
tion of noble men and women that
made that historic section noted for
it's sobricty, Intelligence and piety in
the good old times of long. long ago.
And the same generous soil remains
for future generation to develop and
restore again to its former prestige.
