box before you come, and have them
ready.

Taxation"

of Property by Taxpayer
To
Collected by the State Treasurer"
Someone will be selected to "lead Off
on each one of these subjects, to be fol,

| The objects of the institute can best
be attained only by full, free, open dis
cussion of those questions which occur
to those who have to operate the ma
chinery in the collection of the taxes
| the executors or engineers of the revenue
or machinery acts; as to how friction may
be overcome or diminished in the differ
| ent parts of the machinery
how at this point and thai
confusion may be lessened la
Dor lightened, speed accelerated and re
suits made more satisfactory. Again we
say, study this intricate machinery, take
note of the points of friction, the tight
or loose bolts, the leaks, the flaws and
defects, where you would take from oil
add to. Dot down your observations and
your suggestions and our word for it, il
all will do this and come we will have
laid the foundation upon which our law
makers may be able to build with wis
dom in future, and every participant will
have gained to his own great advantage
and the State be blessed and at the same
time we will all enjoy the short season
of rest and recreation.

THE PLAYERS DIDN'T PLAY

The Paige Players didn't pay last
night. They wanted to but there were
not enough people in town who wanted
to see them do so to make it profitable,
so it was announced when the time came
for the curtain to go up that holders Of
tickets could get their money back at
the box office. And it did not take long
to return it, as only SO worth of tickets
had been sold. They go to-day to Colds
boro, where they are billed to play for

Country Store Advertising.

Country store advertising is i'm
proving, and as it improves it grows
more and more interesting and
all the better for the interest it ex-
cites. 1t was formerly of little con-
sequence, because country store
keepers took little interest in this
department Of their own business.
The advertising was unpopular, was
neglected and regarded as bore, be-
cause it was considered an expense
rather than q source of profit.
Shrewd men have taken the adver-
tising expense account from the
blacklist it formerly occupied and
put it in the hight, so that we can
plainly see just what its value is and
its probable and profitable returns.
Money is now spent not grudgingly,
as formerly, but freely and volun-
tarily and in some instances Law
ishly. That none may be thrown
away the quality of country store
advertising should be carefully con-
sidered and every help toward good
ness adopted. DRY Goods ChrOni-

The cool, even temperature of the
autumn makes it the best season to
plant many kind of trees and shrubs.
This may be done any time before
the frost locks up the earth. Forest
trees do better when planted in the
fall than in the spring. Upon an
acre Of poor land grove of fine
young NAPLES might be set that
would in time repay an hundred fold
their cost. A few fruit trees could
be set out each fall, according as
there was time, and all these to-
gether properly tended would in a
few years develop into grand or.
chard.
Birthday anniversaries are beauti-
fully marked by the planting of a
fine tree. More birthdays seem
somehow to come in the autumn
than at any other time of the year,
SO there is opportunity to commem.
morate many of these happy oc-
casions by a monument which will
last for centuries. In choosing trees
to plant, those which thrive in the
neighborhood should be selected.
Japan evergreens are beautiful fea-
lures of the landscape, winter and
summer,and grow almostanywhere,
Thrifty, slim young grow this of all
kinds should be selected. They will
develop faster than larger troes and
be more symmetrical. A young
tree should in every case be culti-
waited as carefully as cabbage,
planted in rich soila watched and
tended.

We take pleasure in quoting the
above from the Country Gentle
man. Of all store frauds in the
United States, what is worse than
the "bogus butter" fraud. We ven
ture to say that there is not state
or territory in the Union, that
would not allow oleo to be sold on
its merits. Why not sell salt for
sugar and be done with it. We un-
derstand that numerous parties in
Pittsburgh have got 'stuck fast on
the same material, and if report is
true some of them will not be able
to stop at a fine. Let the good
work go on.
In fact if oleomargarine had new
er been sold as butter there would
be no necessity for any law con-
cerning the so-called food. When
bogus butter is all forced on it's
proper shelf, there will be a greater
demand for the dairy product

How the Gentleman WIN a Barb on his
Tail Prospers.

Niil EEnAHcNHt
The devil has always had a repu-
tation, and we believe deservedly, as
character, who possesses large and
varied resources and wonderful
novelty In tho execution of his plans
He has heretofore frequently start
led the world with some bold, bril-
liant scheme, which has commended
itself TO the thoughtful considera-
ton of good men, such as minister's
Of the gospel, college professors and
even some of the "Higher Critics. "
But never did his satanic majesty
stand out more strikingly or show
to a better advantage, than when he
opened the beer "Inn" at Prince
ton. and in order to give it a literary
and classical twang, dubbed it the
"Rassalasian Inn. Then to make
it acceptable to the moral and reli-
gious elements of that community
and the mothers whose "Dear Boys"
would frequent this linn" he cir
oulates a petition and obtains among
others, the names of three of Prince
ton s "learned" professors and, as
we understand, the recommendation
of Ex- President Cleveland, for a
"Calvanistio" bonifaoe to run the
saloon.
The prohibition papers and others
raised a storm as was expected,
about this "Inn- Saloon" and here
it seemed as though the devil made
the strike of his life, when he in
spired man from New Jersey, to
defend the saloon on the ground
that he had heard two Of the stu
dents, over their beer, seriously dis
cussing "The Attributes of Deity
under Anthropomorphio Limita-
tions. We imagine this discussion
was about the time OF closing for
the night or morning(D
Now, Princeton, a beer garden is
not the best institution to teach real
genuine piety. 1t may be fairly
good place in which to talk theology
but even then, we imagine it would
be the theology of the modern B.
Fay Mills, rather than that of old
John Hall. Princeton, don't mis-
lead yourself into the belief that
you're able to cope with the "gifted
but unprincipaled enemy of souls"
all alone. He is too much for you.
No fellow, or corporation for that
matter, ever went into partnership
with satan, who got the best of him.
1t always ends with the devil getting
the money and the partner the OK
perience.
We would make a suggestion to
you, Princeton, that whenever you
see an attempt to carry forward the
Masters kingdom by means on
which the devil has a patent and
sole monopoly, look out, for sooner
or later he will foreclose and take
the property. The trouble is you
have been depending too much of
late on the influence of "foot- ball"
for your moral support and it is not
enough. What you need is to pray
more and above all to watch.

PorATons BOILED IN THEIR JACKETS.


POTATOES BOILED IN THEIR JACKETS.
Housewives who are pushed for
time should boil their potatoes
with their Jackets" on oftener, and
if "John" kicks show him the fol-
lowing by Tillie May Forney, in the
Womans Home Companion. In
the course of year it would also
prove to be an item of economy, es-
pecially this year, to those who have
to look after their dimes and nickles,
as there is much more waste in peel
ing potatoes befor they are cooked,
than afterwards.
81 never see potatoes dry baked,
hard-mashed and watery boiled, ap-
pearing in monotonous daily routine
(for even the established rules of
cooking them are too often slighted)
that | do not feel like crying out
against injustice. In reality the
potato is the most admirable of
vegetables. 1t requires only a lit
tie care to make it palatable at all
seasons, ana it adapts itself to fancy
dress as successfully as did Cinder-
ella herself under the touch off the
fairy wand. But first let us see
what the potato presents in plain
garb. Not long ago was surprised
to hear a man, an epicure in way,
express himself in this wise at a
small dinner; Why is it the houses
of the poor always provide the best
boiled potatoes ? In great houses
the vegetable is served either boiled
to the consistency of damp leather.
else hard as cannon ball. He
went on to tell how often as a child
he went to visit a neighboring poor
woman. She was devoted to chill
dren and instead of sweet cakes she
invariably handed out hot, delight
fully cooked potatoes. Those were
boiled potatoes, lie went on. with
no other accompaniment than salt
an emperor might have dined upon
them; large, mealy, boiled all
through and in their jackets. The
latter phrase answered his first
question. Possibly from knowledge,
more probably to save work, the
poor woman cooked her potatoes lin
their jackets, and consciously or
upconsciously she struck the key
note of their success. Nature has
ordered that the skin of the potato
be made of a corl1y nature to retain
the juices and nourishing proper
ties of the vegetable. These are lost
when the skin, or envelope, is taken
off. A chemical analysis shows
that the water in which was boiled
a pound of peeled potatoes contained
seventeen grains of carbonate of pot
ash. All that nourishment the
Jackets would have secured to the
vegetable. Again, analysis shows
peeled boiled potato takes three and
one-half hours to digest. A potato
baked in the skin ordinarily digests
in two hours.

Rotate TIE JUDGES.

THE News heartily endorses the
following from the Albany Herald.
This paper has long been of the opin-
ion that Judge should not be elected
for one particular circuit. Elect the
judges by the people and rotate them,
and Georgia will have an ideal judicial
system. The Herald says:
"The records recently made by some
of the superior court judges of the
state when called to hold court outside
Of their circuits suggest the idea that
it would be a good thing to rotate the
Judges all the time.
cit has been noticed that when a
judge gets out of his own bailiWick
and away from local influence and DO
litical environment he seems TO be
able to hold lawyers and htlgants up
to striCter rule of practice than can
at all times be enforced without Sc
riOus embarrassment when among his
personal friends, former clients and
political friends or foes, as the case
may be. However just and honest they
may try to be our judges are only hu-
nan, and it is as hard for them to con-
tend with the instincts and prompt
ings of human nature as it is for 9TH
er men.
Judges who had been accused Of
not rushing business and forcing the
trial of cases, both civil and criminal.
thus allowing cases on the docket to be
carried over from one term to another
in their own circuits, have been known
to go into another circuit and clean up
the docket with dispatch and without
fear or favor.
'The Herald certainly intends no
unkind criticism or reflection upon any
Judge in the state by calling attention
60 the fact that the rotation system
seems to work well, and that the people
have been pleased with what they have
seen it in instances where Judges
have exchanged courts FOR their own ac.

THE CONVICT BILL.

The lower house of the legislature has
agreed upon a convict bill, and that
question now seems in fair way of an
early settlement The main features
of the bill are
/. A continuation of the lease sys-
tenn.
?. al able-bodied conyicts will be
hired out.
3. There will be farm for the wo-
men, the juvenile and infrm.
/, There will be no central peniten-
tiary.
5. State supervision will be exercis-
ed over misdemeanor convicts.
6. A penitentiarY commission of
three will be elected by sthe people,
each to receive $4,000 per annum.
Z. The commission will have com
plete management and control of the
state conyicts and general supervision
over the mIsdemeanor conyIcts.
s. The commission will constitute
a board of pardons.
8. The commission will be allowed
to give the two-year convicts to coun-
ties for work upon the public roads if
the counties make requIsition for
them.
Evidently the representatives do not
think the governor would veto bill
authorizing the able-bodied convicts
to be leased. They apparently regard
the threat of the governor that he
would veto any bill providing for a
new lease of the conyicts as having
been made for political purposes.
