The coming session at PnOen1X Will, it is not doubted be the most effective of all. Particularly prominent will be made the discussion of points of legis- lation in order that well-digested meas ures be prepared for the consideration of. the federal congress and of the state legislatures. Though able au- thorities will be in attendance and have been placed upon the programme for the presentation of subjects of techni- cal and economic interest, it is de- signed that the fifth congress shall be a body with work far more general than has been the case in any of it's predecessors. Addresses presenting subjects shall be limited to fifteen minutes and the subsequent discussion to half an hour, this ruling of the ex- ecutive committee not applying, how ever, to the discussion of legislation or resolutions.
 The city of Phoenix, chosen for the location of the fifth congress, is in every way we'll adapted. It is thrifty and progressive city of 12,000 inhabi- tants, the capital of the territory of Arizona, and is excellently we'll pre- pared for the reception of even the thousands who will come to attend congress. Its local committee of ar engagements and reception is already at work and the promise is extended that every visitor will be furnished with the best of accommodations at prices ever lower than usually charged locally. The city is situated in the midst of the richest irrigated valley in America that of the Salt river, whose irriga- tion works of the grandest magnitude are to be studied-works that have transformed the parched plains into wondrous orchards and vast fields of alfalfa. Ample opportunity will be af- forded delegates to inspect all points of interest without cost.
 Railroad rates will not exceed a single fare for the round trip from all points between Chicago and the Pa cific ocean; details of transportation and ticket limitation to be later an- nounced by the interested railroads. Passengers may be routed into Phoe- nix over either the Santa Fe or South ern Pacific railway systems. Oppor- tunity at low cost will be given for side trips to the Grand canyon of the Colorado, to the City of Mexico, to southern California and other points.
 It is especially desired that govern | Ors and others with the power of ap- pointment advise the secretary of the executive committee at as early date as possible of the names of the ap- pointees, and correspondence will be welcomed by the secretary upon all | the details antecedent to the congress.

Some Instruction in the Art of Produo-

Some Instruction in the Art of Produce
 ing These O!d-T:lnc E:.vorites.
 Even in the enlightened days, when the art of photogl aphy has advanced so very near to perfection, there are still some oitl-1asnioled people who cling with fontiness to these silhouettes. One great thing in their favor is, that the least clever among us may with a little patience ard . steady hand, find in them pleasing recreation, and soon become adroit in their execution. But there may be some of our young readers who scarcely know what silhouette is, and such uncnlightened persons we will endeavor to instruct in the almost for gotten art. A few sheets of drawing paper, pencil, and lamp, are all the essentials needed to commence opera tions, says Happy Thoughts.
 The operator first fixes a sheet of paper to the wall, by inserting pin in each corner. Then the person whose likeness, or silhouette" is to be taken, is seated in chair, close to the wall, in such position as to throw a distinct SnduO" hi LIS pIOIIie taS EetiE ilIts'iAo ss possib!e) on the center of the paper. To secure steadiness a wine glass, or some such support, is placed between his head end the wall-for the slightest movement often causes ia lure. Having arranged these matters satisfactorily, the operator proceeds to sketch, with pencil, the head and profile of the ''sitter;;" and this requires steady hand and some dispatch, as it is no easy matter to sit in one position for a great length of time perfectly motion jess. When the sketch is concluded, little skill will be needed torbrirg the task to an end. The operator has only with sharp penlznife 10 cut out the head in the line of the pencil mark. The center rart is then thrown aside, and the othec raper laid on a piece of black cloth, which throws out the features boldly, and, if sufficient care has been taken, q striking likeness will be the reward

The work has not been without its fruit. Interest has been awakened in points remote from the irrigated regions and the reclamation of the waste areas is now regarded in all justice as one of the most important problems awaiting legislation.

A GOOD MOVE.

A mass meeting was held by
the citizens of Adams Station
last week for the promotion OF
good roads. The idea is 10 get
the County Court interested IN
the matter, and suitable resolu.
tons were adopted to present. to
the County Court hoping to get
an appropriation for the benefit
of the roads. The citizens want
to get money enough to get con
victs brought there at an expense
of $4.70 per mouth. and put
them to work on the roads. For
years Robertson County has had
an internal improvement fund
which it has kept loaned out.
The last Legislature passed al
act requiring this amount to be
turned over to the county and il
the County G urt can be infu.
enced to turn this INTO improve
ments of roads it will keep l0l
convicts in the county for a long
while.
This is juet exactly what
should be done with the convict.

1t is the practice of all thoroughly
established an self respecting journ-
ais to charge for obituary notices.
The fee is nominal compared with
established advertising rates. The
reason for charging for such matter
is better understood by the expert

the general public. 1t may be diff
cult to satisfactorily explain the reab-
on to person who has no practical
knowledge of journalism and the
printing office. That the better and
more valuable religious journals
charge for obituary notices and reso
lutions ought to be sufficient evil

The Debate.

Last Friday nights session Of the
Sequachee Literary Society was
lengthy and somewhat stormy. A
melton to open the doors to the pub
lie was made on the ground that the
regulation as it stood now could rot
be enforced. J. w. Graham offered
an amendment that as trial the
time of the Society's remaining open
to the public should be limited to
three weeks. The amendment was
accepted by the mover of the origin
al motion. Then followed a lively
discussion in which S p Pryor and
H. 4. Tate were for the motion, and
w. S. Pryor and Miss MatiIde Gus.
tafson were against it. When the
vote was taken there was some con-
fusion in the house and another
count was called for. The result
was nine for and line against the
motion. S. P. Pryor insisted that
those who did not vote should be
counted as voting in the affirmative.
This was agreed to, but all did not
understand that this could be done
and another vote was called for.
Result ten in favor and eight against.
A dispute arose as to the correctness
of the count and another was decld-
ed upon. This time there was eight
for and nine against the motion
Several did not vote, and it was in
sisted that those not voting should be
counted as voting in the affirmative
The Chair, however, lad already de
clared the motion lost and It was too
late. There was a clear majority IL
favor of making the Society public
The program was carried out and
the question was decided in favor Of
the negative.
The following Is the program TO
next time:
Question: Resolved That n,
person should be allowed to accumu
late more than $4,000 and 100 acre
of land.

The Democratic Platform

We publish in this issue, the demo-
cratic platform, in full. Orr readers,
we trust, will read it carefully. How
far il is democratic, or how far 1t has
d.parted from the principles which
democrats have so unflinchingly sup
ported for years, they can judge.
It is unnecessary to tell our readers
that we do not endorse the financial
plank. We believe it to be diametrl-
cally opposed to democratic principles
and an effort to debase the currency
which will cause disaster and rum.
While we might overlook the hot headed
efforts ofindiscreet politicians in the eX-
element of political debate to condemn
the present democratic administration
the introduction of resolutions into the
the party platform, with the sole pur-
pose of insulting the president, is a last
ing disgrace TO the party. In some re-
spects. the platform re-affirms the ola
principles of the party, but the introdue-
ton of ne~ material, much oft inspired
by an element which is naturally antago-
nistic to democratic principles, has con-
structed kind of mixed platform rpon
which hundreds Of thousands OF our best
democrats will find it difficult to stand.
We will devote much of our space this
week to comments by the democratic
press of the country.
