One Tombstone For Four.

Last winter, while wandering through
the rural districts of South Georgia, I
chanced upon family graveyard in Tel
fair County of unique character. There
we're three graves side by side. The CEN
tral one was marked by head and foot
board, made of thin slabs Of marble. The
head board, divided into three divisions,
was engraved as follows: The first, or top
division, John Allen, Just Man."
The second division was engraved,
"First Wife,
The third division was similar to the
second, only the hand pointed to the
grave on Johns right, and was engraved,
"Second Wife,"
These three completed the legends on
the headboa immortalizing John Allen
as as q just man. The hasty reader may
think John Allen had better written 50
frugal man." Again the foot board for
the father is made the head board for the
son by engraving on 1t, "Son." I have
given things as they actually exist, e1-
cept that the name Of John Allen Is sub
stituted for the real.-Lctter to Nashville

Does it Pay to Send a Girl to College.

Does it pay to send girl to college? :?
Many well-to-do father, whose family
is living comfortably and spending all he
earns, and many hard-worked mother,
who wishes her daughter to have some
easier and more remunerative occupation
than herself, are anxiously pondering this
question. After many years of investi-
cation and observation can give but an
oracular answer. If pecuniary return be
the chief motive for sending girl to col
lege should say the venture Is as risky
as any other business investment.
The necessary expenses at woman's
college are about $500 year. The charg-
es for board and tuition at Vassar and
Wellesley are S400 q year at Smith and
Bryn Mawr, where there is greater varie-
ty in the accom- 10 odations the average
price is about the same. One hundred
dollars is reasonable sum for books,
class or club dues, and necessary incl
6entals. Clothes and travelling expenses
depend upon the individual. have been
told by q woman Of wide experience, and
my own observation confirms it, that q
college woman is doing we'll If, upon grad
uation, she can obtain place to teach for
$500 year without board. A teacher is
obliged to dress decently, to live in res
pectable quarter OF the town, to attend an
occasional concert, lecture or play, and
she ought not to be prohibited from buy
iug books now and then, or taking trip
now and then, or taking trip during va
cation. She must manage we'll if she can
do all this, even in small citv, on $500
year. Of course, unless she is q young
woman in comfortable circumstances,
boarding at home, she hopes for speedy
promotion; but it does not always come.
I know of women who have taken ad-
vanced degrees at American and foreign
universities land this class is small
enough to make its services valuable,)
who are filling subordinate positions in
schools at less than $1,000 year, and are
unable to get any farther. Still, let US al
ways remember that there are two women
in this country who are paid salary of
5000 month..-North american Revie,U.

The bright prospect for fine cotton
crop six weeks ago, has vanished, and the
present outlook is about as poor as it
could be. The rains Of July produced q
vigorous growth of weed, and during
that month the plants were taking on
fruit rapidly and the outlook was encou--
aging for large crop. About the first of
August the rains ceased, and then follow
ed several weeks of tho hottest weather
ever experienced in the State. In addi-
ton to the heat, came drouth, causing the
plants to shed leaves, forms and even
young bolls. So hot and dry has the
weather been that many of the bolls have
opened prematurely, resulting in great
loss. It is difficult to estimate the dam
age to the crop. Rains now cannot add
any fruit TO the plants, but might enable
the half-grown bolls to mature. A very
conservative estimate would be 25 to 30
per cont. off from what was promised on
Aug. 1. From the bad reports from all
the cotton growing States, the present
outlook is for crop less than last year.
! IF this estimate is correct cotton should
bring from to cents a pound to the
farmer, and we believe that price will be
reached when ever Liverpool recognizes
the disaster that has befallen the crop.

Mixson goes all over the matter In de-
tail anCl tells of his discovery Of the facts
that tho boys had gotten money. He pro-
nouncss several of the governors state

"Whalst my boy did get some money
from the Live Oak people, I never got
cent of it, and knew nothing of it until
the money had all been squandered, and
I have never received cent since have
been in the State dispensary othes than my

me so lavishly of getting the puolic mon
ey, he will tell us how he ran up his ex-
pense account against the dispersary un-
der the following circumstances: In
March, 1895, while he was in Washing
ton, sent him by express papers to go
before the internal revenue collector to
have twenty barrels of whiskey released
which had been seized by the United
States Government On his return, he
made an expense account OF $3.50. approx
cd it himself, and received warrant for
same. The records in the Dispensary

A Remarkable Conscience.

"I'll tell you the queerest thing you
ever heard" said Chief Dickinson of the
fire department, the other day, "and it is
true story at tha'; In 1861, toward the
end Of the war, was at Fort Lincoln, at
Washington, the leader of the band of the
l5Oth Ohio Regiment. The war was hot,
and, of course, we were all intensely in
terested in the very latest we could get
about it. Newspapers were scarce, and
when we managed to get hold Of one we
regarded 1t as d treasure.
Zone day ras fortunate enough to get
hold of copy OF the Philadelphia Inquir-
or, which contained a lot of war news.
After had read it handed it around
among the boys, and finally loaned 1t to a
man named Breymeier. Yesterday who
should walk into my Office but Breymei-
or, who returned the paper with thanks.
He was looking over his old papers to get
information to assist the widow of an old
comrade in getting pension, and he ran
across tho Inquirer. What do you think
of the conscience of a man who would re-
turn paper after all that time?"-Gcue-

The Court Of Last Resort.

Attorney General Barber, so his assist
ant says, has gone on to Washington in
regard to the coming hearing before the
United States Supreme Court OF the dis
pensary cases, upon which depend the fu-
ture of the State dispensary law.
The State has been notified by the clerk
of this Court that the cases have at last
been advanced upon the docket, and will
come up for argument on October II, that
day having been fixed for the purpose by
an order of the Court.
1t has been known all along that the
cases of Loeb and Donald, which have
been fought over SO much, would come
up at the approaching term. These cases
arose under the old dispensary law, and
have been hanging fire in the Court all
along, waiting final adjudication, the
State having appealed them. They in
Yolve, however, several features of the
new law. The principal point at issue is
the interstate commerce feature; then
there was the question of the importation
of liquor from outside the Stale for per-
sonal use, branch of this interstate is
sue; the question as to the right to ssize
such liquors, and the right of drum N ers
for liquor houses to come into the State
and solicit trade
But the argument is 10 60 q Step 1ur-
ther. The argument is to be heard also
by the Court on the issues involved in the
case ex parts Sneider, Eberhardt ct al, in
re Donald, which will determine the ght
of the State to require all liquors import
ed into the State for personal use 10 be
analvzed by the State chemist. This is
one OF the vital features of the new Gis-
pensary law. Attorney General Barber
is to make the argument in the behalf
of the State. Mr.. J. P. Kennedy Bryan
is to be the leading counsel on the other
side.
1t is to be hoped that the Court will rem
der decision in all these cases prior to
the meeting of the General Assembly, so
that that body can deal with the liquor
problem with all the lights before it. 1t
may be mentioned here that no matter
what the result Of the case is. and it Is
thought that the Court will sustain Judge
Simonton and the Court Of Appeals, the
prohibitionists are more thau likely to
make a strong fight to have the beverage
and profit features of the law eliminated.
