GEORGIA'S Big DEFICIT,
ALREADY 100000 BEHIND AND
BIG APPROPRIATIONS MADE.
The State Treasury Embarrassed nv
Special Appropriations. Some Big
Figures.

AS the appropriation bill stands, the
state treasury will be embarrassed next
year. There is an accumulated deficit
of 100000 caused by a system of kiting:
that is, by anticipating the revenue.
This deficit is an accumulation of sew
eral year and is due to special appropria
lions, which legislatures have made
without making CORES pondlng levies of
tax to raise the money. The payments
have been made by the treasurer by
borrowing from the preceding wears
revenue reserved for the last quarter
and repaying when the levy is collected.
IL all the increased appropria-
tions were made available from the
beginning of 1897 there would be
deficit of about $3.50, 600. To
minimize this evil it is proposed
to make the added 100000 for
schools available not until the
third quarter of 1897, and the
third quarters pay of teachers is
due January /, 1898, when the
revenue for 1897 will be in. This will
reduce the apparent deficit by $500, OOO
1t will leave the treasury S6SO.OO0 be-
hind. When kiting to this extent is
attempted the treasury will be seriously
embarrassed. The $500, 900 deficit already
on hand delayed the payment of the
third quarters school fund from October
l until December /.

SHE WORE PANTS.
A Young Georgia Woman Breaks Up
Dance.

Dance.
A frolic, which was broken up in rath-
or curious manner, occurred last Fri
day night at house occupied by a man
named Palmer at Martha, GA. The
dancing was progressing nicely, and
there did not seem one iota of row or
anything to mar the occasion, when sud-
denly girl attired in the garb of man
entered the house and endeaYored to
participate in the may waltz with the
young ladies. The offer was scornfully
rejected. One man resented the intru-
sion when the pseudo man interfered.
Her Identity was discovered. She was
girl who operated "blnd tiger' es-
tablishment and who had come for the
purpose of disposing of her stock of tan
glef0ot She became exasperated when
the men tried to eject her. She drew a
pistol and fired at man named McLen-
don, but the ball missed it's mark.

noB,s OBSERVATIONS ABROAD.

Right alongside of the palace is where
the Prince of Wales lives and while we
were looking at it he came out in cab.
He was another disappointment. He wore
a beaver hat just like pops, and instead
of having a scepter in his hands he car
ried an umbrella and a cigar; just the
sort of man you'd expect to meet on
Broadway any day of the year. Some
how it's hard to get used to the idea of
real live prince wearing a beaver hat and
carrying an umbrella, and it almost
makes me sorry / came suppose if l
could really find out how to go to Fairy
land and should go there, I'd find all the
fairies dressed up in peajackets and sailor
hats like most of the boys we see nova
days. and probably they'd be playing ball
or riding bicycles instead of flying about
on gossamer wings and swinging on cob
webs.
l spoke to pop about it, and he said it
was because the prince loved the people
that he didn't dress up like Solomon
All the men feel that they've got to dress
like the Prince of Whales and If he came

be fashionable would do the same thing

knew how, in diamond studded dress

THE REIGN OF THE AMERICAN Girl,

Word comes from London that the reign
OF the American girl in Great Britain is
ended. The report is that the British
uamsel has learned her lesson, and has
come to be as lively and brilliant as her
more in the competition between them.
If the news is true, there will he few
mourners. None of the Americans. ex

Tort N our girls success in London. The
American men and the British ladies
nave been of one mind about it. Both
have disapproved. The interna tional
marriage has had a certain usefulness
IN bringing the Americans and the Eng
llsh into closer relations, but the adyafl-
tages of 1T have been too one-sided. Nine
times out of ten the United States has
lost a citizen and England has gained
one. 1t is time for more equitable ar
rangement to obtain. Perhaps. If it is
true that English women have deyel
oped new charms and graces, some of
our young men may begin to go account
ing beyond the seas. Would it avail them
anything? Perhaps so; but that is still
TO be demonstrated. We have been used
to realize that English men of large mat
rimonial opportunities are liable to marry
American women, but it is still to be
shown that an English woman who is in
position to have good offers at home
is in any danger at all of marrying ont
OF her own land and into the United
States. The English women have NOT
always seemed superlatively attractive
to the English men, but hitherto the
Englishmen have almost invariably been
good enough for the English women

Like many other Christians, how
ever, Menelek does not believe in offer
ing the left cheek when he has been
slapped on the right. Exposed to the
treachery of Italy, he forced her to
live up to the spirit and not to the let
tier of their treaties. When Italy at
tempted to prove by force of arms that
Abyssinia was only a dependency of
hers, Menelek showed quite clearly
that there were two sides to the ques-
tion. In the language of boxing, he
'countered' SO effectively that the de-
feat he administered to his enemies
must remain an important event in
modern history, an unexpected inter
ruption in the successes won in Africa
by civilized armies.

The sudden prominence of Africa,
due to the triumph of Menelek over
the Italians and the hazardous expe-
dftion of the English UP the Nile, give
particular interest to consideration of
the native rulers of Africa, who are
stubbornly resisting the encroachments
of European civilization.
By far the most interesting of them
all is Menelek himself, emperor of the
Abyssinians, who traces his direct de-
scent from King Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba. Though a great fight

indeed, he bears little resemblance to

BE READY FOR EMERGENCIES.

1t is very often the case that at just
the time one needs a medical man it is
impossible to get him. A sick person
may take a chill after the doctor has
paid his call. Warm the patient at
once. Fill strong bottles with hot wa
ter. placing them under the knees, at the
feet and undsr the armpits. Give stimu-
lants and cover with blankets After
he warns up, do not sweat him. but
gradually remove the extra covering
Be sure to keep an even temperature
in the sick room. This is most import
ant at night and in the small hours of
the morning. Always have hot water
available in sickness of any kind.
Anyone with the average intelligence
can keep track of the pulse, tempera-
ture and respiration, so that in case
cf Paintings or sinking spells he may
know when to give stimulants. A bot
tie of brandy or good whisky, a rub

ground mustard are the three first re-
quisites for the family medicine closet.

SPRING POETS NOT FAVORED BY
THE SEASON.

Spring poets have been a standing
newspaper joke so long that we are
liable to forget that there is a valid
basis to their frenzy and that when
all the reasonable discounts have been
subtracted from spring it still remains
the most inspiring of the seasons. There
is no denying that in these ATTITUDES it
is painfully lacking in quantity From
its available assets March and the big
ger part of April have usually to be
deducted almost in bulk. There is lit
