Roll Call on Final Passage.

At 11:4O the roll call on the final pas
sage of the bill was commenced. Major
Anderson, whose name is third on the
roll call, following Senator Andrews
explanation of his vote and protest
against the bill, arose, and with great
dignity pulled off first one cuff then the
other, and placed them reverentIy on his
desk. He then gave a severe pull at
his long whiskers, pushed up his sleeves,
and as the senators settled back in
their seats, expecting a long speech.
looked towards the presiding officer and
said. with reference to his vote:
This amused the senate. and as Major
Anderson sat down senators and spec
tators cheered vociferously.
Senator Coleman, (Rep) Nemaha,
voted no. and explained that, in his
opinion, the supreme court in six
months will declare the proposed law
unconstitutional, and that st is vicious
and dangerous.
Senator FarrelIy, Democrat, Of Ne
oshO, voted for the bill, but criticised
the preparation of the measure by men
outside of the legislature, and expressed
doubt as to the validity Of the law.
Senator Jumper had occupied the
chair of the presiding officer during the
reading of the bill, and Senator Lamb,
in voting against the bill, said:
"I am opposed to the vicious pro-
visions of this measure and desire to
say It is unwise. The only wise thing
this body has done was this morning,
dent turned the gavel over to the chief
mana ger of the state insane asylum,
(Jumper). This is eminently fitting and
entirely in keeping with the usual pro
ceedings of this body" NIr. Lamb then
severely criticised the application Of the
gag rule, and said that every man in
Kansas had the right to be heard, but
that the rights of the people had been
subverted to the rule Of king Caucus"

measure tends towards arbitration of

of interest in the old storeroom."
My grandfather, in his latter days,
had kept the village store and post
Office.
The house was built on the side of a
small hill, so that IL was three stories
high on the street side and two in the
rear.
The cellar was divided into two apart
ments by a thick wall of stone. One
apartment was used for the house sup
plies. The other section was in turn
divided in two, the front facing on the
street serving as the store and post
Office, the rear, deep, cavernous, I'M

the storage of barrels of vinegar, mo-
lasses. tobacco and dried fruit.

A circular issued by Statistician Hyde.
Of the agriculture department, gives
considerable information concerning
the cotton crop of 1867, its value, the
amount purchased by mills and the
acreage planted.
II shows that the total cotton crop OF
1861 amounted in commercial bales to
$685., 7O5. made up by the following
states: Alabama, $50. 7s9; Arkansas;

1t Is stated that the large and in
creasing amount Of raw cotton taken
directly from the current crop BY mills
from the cotton-growing states Is more
than ever an important factor in esti-
mating the annual production Ten

The investigation Of the production
Of sea island cotton shows that the
crop Of 1867 was the largest on rec

production of Georgia was 64,66s bales;
that OF Florida, 26.431 bales; South
Carolina, 1O,169; Texas. $500.
The total value Of the upland crop
was s2s5, $40 COG. which gave an average

DEFENDS MR.. FARLow.
G. G. L.. of Barlow, Has Few Words On
the Third Street Principars Troubles


G. c. L., of Barlow, Has Few Words On
the Third Street Principars Troubles
MR.. EDIToR:-It may seem out OF
place for US to meddlc with Marietta
school affairs but we feel IL very diff
cult to keep quiet, when one OF our fav-
ored citizens, Mr.. Farlow, is so directly
concerned. Mr.. Farlow has so many
warm friends and ardent admirers in
this place that we cannot but feel a
deep interest in the matter of the Third
street school. MIR. Farlow targht our
school so long and so we'll, was our
ideal teacher in fact, that we cannot
easily believe that he could have been
the one most to blame.
Perhaps we are not justified in saying
it, but it would seem rather as if he
was the victim of an unreasoning and
malignant spite ano hatred on the part
of some that he was unfortunate
enough to offend. Mr.. Farlow is one
of those men who "hews to the lire,
let the chips fall where they may, who
Furnishes the offender according to de-
sert and grades according to actual
merit. And IL his most aristocratic or
influential pupil is a transgressor he
will be punished, perhaps even humil-
lated regardless of consequences. Ifhe
deserves only low grade on his work,
he gets it without fear or favor.
There are some things that are very
nice in theory, yet do not seem to work
in actual practice. Free Trade perhaps
is one, the abolition of capital punish
ment is another and the abolition Of
corporal punishment is still another.
Perhaps hundred centuries hence the
race may become through the workings
of evolution SO refined and etherialized
that corporal punishment will not be
needed, but surely the day is not yet as
witness recent developments in the
Third street school. 1t is said that
some of the good people of Marietta
seem to think that he or she is the best
teacher who grades their children the
highest regardless of merit and that a
slight tendency on the part of some in
this respect has caused embarrassment
to others who were little more con-
scientious.
am firm believer in justice and /
want Mr.. Farlow to have fair play
Let the truth be told and justice be
done though the heavens fall" If Mr.
Farlow has graded some Of his pupils
falsely or has punished some who did
not deserve punishment, let him suffer
accordingly. Bnt if he has only dis
charged his duties in a careful, cour-
ageous and conscientious manner let
the Board vindicate him.
think that parent can hardly do a
worse thing for child than to uphold
it in rebellion or misconduct in school.
There is nothing that will so certainly
work evil in the future life of the child
or nothing thatgwill so surely come
back upon both parent and child when
there is no longer room for aught but
vain regret. c. c. l..
