CAPITAL GOSSIP.

1t is learned that the printers expect
to have the first volume of the new c3de
ready for delivery by the 18th of Septem-
Der, and the criminal code a few days
later. They claim that in one volume of
the Georgia code gotten out by them
there is not an error, and in another only
three typographical errors from copy,
and they say the Alabama code will be as
good
The indications are that there will be
large attendance al Nashville on Ala
bama day, September 20. Many citizens
are postponing their visit to be there
then. Mr. Bryan is to be there on the
S0th, andysthat will doubtless draw a
large crowd, and all the Alabama people
viii be glad to see and hear this cham
pion of the people. 1t is thought that ar
rangements can be made for free trans
portation for the military and a low rate

Since the first of August the governor
has granted three pardons and two pa
roles. He does not seem to yield much
to the clamor for setting aside the YER
diets of juries. He gives every case a.
full and fair consideration, but the rule
ency should be extended he refuses; how
ever, this week in the case of an old con-
fcderate soldier whom he pardoned, he
announced he would give man who was
a gallant soldier during the war the bene-
fit of every doubt even an old darkey who
was loyal to his soldier master during the
war got favorable consideration. There
are probably five hundred applications
for pardon now pending. 1t is almost a
physical impossibi Gy for half of them
to be considered this year. Some cases
are quite volumnous
The Selma Times last week called on
the governor to know about the high sal
airy paid the treasurer of the Agricultural
& Mechanical College. 1t is known here
that the governor not only voted against
1t but spread his protest on the minutes.

The Help Problem,

The question of all questions that
confronts the farmers wife perennially
and which, 30 far, has refused to be
brought to a satisfactory solution, is
that Of efficient help. The problem, far
from being an essentially rural one, is
worldwide in its scope, and satisfac-
tory solution seems as far off to-day as
the day 1t first became problem.
The LADIES' Home Journal advances
the theory of training schools for those
DESTROYS OF entering domestic service.
Whether this would be feasible one,
time and practical trial alone can re-
veal. Even should it solve the prob
lem 10 cities, years would probably in
tervene before an appreciable effect
would be felt in the country, where it is
most needed.
A neat, capable girl is an invaluable
adjunct to the farmhouse kitchen, es-
pecially, through the busy season.
Careless, slovenly "help" has driven
more women into invalidism than any
other single cause. Because Of repeat
ed experience with girls of this class
she finally decides that "help" is him
drance, and drags her tagging feet
through days, and weeks, and years Of
heavy work until, some day, her poor,
long.suffering body succumbs to the in
evitable, when she must endure en-
forced idleness. Then she is more at
the mercy Of "help" than ever, her de-
pendence being pitifully apparent; and
she must receive that which is almost
grudgingly acceded her.
The majority Of wives are 80 anxious
to assist their husbands in "getting
on in the world'' that they mistake the
false economy for the true. A girl at
SEA week means, with board, breakage
and wasteful cooking, more than IS a
week. The very thought of such ex-
travagance frightens the wife into hir-
ing cheaper girl. Here, 1 believe, is
the principal source of the "help
trouble" A competent girl who thor
oughly understands the work in charge,
is cheaper at 81 week than an mex
perienced girl at 81. The four-dollar
girl will break less, waste less, beside
relieving one of all the work and worry
of the kitchen.
The question of affording to keep
'help," providing the right kind can
be secured, should be reasoned out in
this way: SIS not the preservation of
my health worth more to my family
than the expense of keeping a girl?
Would not DOCTORS bill and enforced
rest cost more than girls wages, be-
side the discomfort to myself and fam
lily? Could L not turn my strength to
better account and earn enough in some
easier way to cover the cost of keeping
helpP Would it not be truer econo-
my to save the strength formerly ex-
pended upon kitchen duties for the per-
Torrance Of the more sacred duties of
making home haven of contentment
and happiness to husband and chill
dren?"
If former experiences with help have
only served to aggravate and discour-
age, decide to pay little higher wages
this year and look for a girl with attri-
butes 10 correspond. Hiring cheap
help is like putting cheap material in a
dress-too fiimsy to pay for the trouble
of fashioning into serviceable form,
and the money paid to secure the pos
session Of it is thrown away.-Elizabeth
Fuller, in Ohio Farmer.
