FARMERS PERPLEXED.

The farmers are a little perplexed
yer the genuine Snring-like weather
|hich is at present prevailing. The
|nditions, they claim, would warrant
em in rushing into the Spring work,
|lt the weather is about two months
head of time, and they are fearful lest
Wintry blast may be lurking near. A
|'ominent farmer, in speaking of the
resent weather, compared it to such a
|pring as visited this section about
years ago, when they planted corn in
bis locality on April 5, which was re-
|arkable. The same farmer thought
rom present appearance that history
|ould repeat itself. Much Spring work
/ being done here and the truckers
|re making great use of the present
leather for putting in the early truck
|any of them have peas and beets well

PICTURESQUE NORTH CAROLINA

PICTURESQUE NORTH CAROLINA.
The picturesque Judge Linney, Of
North Carolina, who probably makes
the most picturesque speech of any
Republican in the present House, even
outdoing Champ Clark of Missouri, de-
livered a brief disquisitiOn in praise Of
the Populist during his speech on the
contest of Mr.. Aldrich, from Alabama.
Judge Linney's speeches are always
frequently punctuated with laughter,
and it will be easily seen that great
deal OF laughter followed this:
''Thechief excellence Of the Populist
is that he will not steal. He will after
a while for he has not been in politics
long enough; that is all. So in North
Carolina we have found the philoso-
piers stone. We have placed three
sentinels around the ballot box, each
representing a differentline Of thought,
each watching the others, and Martin
f. Tuppper's philosophy was as good
as the wisdom of Solomon, when he
said, Yea, and let but dog be watch
ing thee, dts eye will tend to thy re-
straoint. "-Washington Post

fort. And tho little matron agreed with
the big doctor about a woman having as
much right to enter saloon rs a man.
The law on tho subject, which affects both
tho saloon keepers and the doctor, is as
follows:
"Scction 72G. It shall DO unlawful for
any woman or girl to enter any barroom
or room connected with barroom in tho
city of Atlanta for the purpose OF drink
ing or lettering therein.
"Section 727. And any woman or girl
violating this ordinance and any proprietor
or employee in barrOom permitting such
violation shall be arrested and on convic-
ton in the recorders court shall he pun
ished by fine of not less than s. nor ex-
cecding 500 or by imprisonment not ex-
ceedine 30 days, in the discretion of the
court trying the case"
When tho story of DR.. Carradice's bold
entrance into saloon and her still holder
act Of taking Scotch whisky straight be-
came known throughout the city, there
was much discussion on the merits of the
case. Why hasn't woman rs much right
TO enter regularly licensed saloon as q
man, provided she is n respectable person
and behaves herself? Isn't 1t class legis-
lntion, the question was asked, to allow
tho saloons to be run for the sole use of
men? Why shouldn't woman be allowed
to enter II saloon the same as q man, il she
SO chooses to do?
