upon a claim.
In the first half Georgia quit ahead by
score of 10 10 5. Auburn had made the
first score a few minutes after the game
was called. but from that moment on the
Georgia team had things all their own

how divine benefits are conferred upon
the race. In this connection Rev. Scruggs
dwelt on the laws which govern our being,
and that those laws are beneficent in their
design, and are under the immediate con-
troll of the Creator, who uses them TO be-
stow the highest, purest and best benefits
upon man.
Speaking of the development of mans
spiritual and moral nature as well as
his intellectual faculties, Rev. ,Scruggs
laid stress on the fact that one of the
greatest calamities that could befall any
country was minified spiritual and moral
growth as compared with intellectual de-
velopment. He concluded with an appeal
that our thanksgiving, individual and ma
tional, should not be merely an annual ar
rangement, but said the life of every one
should be a perpetual Thanksgiving for
Gods benefits.
After prayer by Rev j. S. Gilmore of
the Lutheran synod, collection was TAX

association, viii be equally distributed be-
tween the Savannah Female Asylum and
the Louisa Porter Home. The service con-
cluded with the song, America" by the
congregation.
A large congregation attended the
Thanksgiving services at Christ Church
yesterday morning. Rev. Robb White de-
livered an excellent sermon appropriate 10
the day, calling attention to the many
blessings which God had showered upon
his people. Mr. White mentioned in this
connection the results of the war with
Spain. He also took occasion to condemn
the evil work of corrupt politicians as
responsible for many things which reflect
upon and disgrace our civilization. Excel
lent music was furnished by the choir
The "Te Deum," in minor, by Buck,
was sung. The offertory was Galilee, by
Morrison, and the organ voluntary, by
Battman, was rendered. The Thanksgiv-
ing chant, by Aldrdge. was sung.
The Thanksgiving services at ST. Johns
Church were largely attended yesterday
morning. The full choir of men and boys
took part in the services, and music most
appropriate to the day, as arranged by
Prof. Spencer NJ. White, was excellently
rendered. The sermon, an interesting and
appropriate discourse, was preached by
Capt. Carson, chaplain of the Second Loui-
siana Regiment. As symbolic of the day
the altar was piled high with fruits and
decorated with flowers. In the congrega-
ton was Gen. Lee and several of his staff.
ST. Johns choir will go out to the Sec
ond Louisiana Regiment on Friday night,
Dec. 2. and will furnish music for an
Episcopal service to be conducted by Chap
lain Carson in the regimental y. NJ. c. A.

in charge of Prof. White.

Although all accounts are kept In
dollars and cents (American standard)
in British Guiana, there is no existing

The story is told Of gilded youth OF
Chicago whose father employed a pri-
vate tutor to ram algebra into the
young mans head.
In order to simplify the "plus" and
minus" the tutor used the familiar IL
lustration of the counting of years from
the birth of Christ
CHOW, for instance, we speak of SC
many years A. D. or in the year of our
Lord, he said "Those years counting
from the birth of Christ we may con-
slider as the plus units The years count

Christ we may take to be the minus
units. Now, suppose ask you the ques-
ton, How many years elapse between

Parents Are Unfair to teachers.

"That existing methods of educating
the young fall short of the ideal there is
scarcely any question, writes Edward
Box in The Ladies' Home Journal.
1.-The most prominent educators of the
land admit this fact. Every effort is
undoubtedly made to better prevailing
systems But the fight is single handed
AS teachers and educators constantly
say: We are alone. Parents give us no
assistance. They do not even give us
the benefit of ordinary interest. And
this is true-lamentably true Parents
are all too lax about the methods pur-
sued in educating their children In
hundreds of cases they do not even know
what the methods are. They know
nothing about them. There is no coop
GRAFTON of the parent with the teacher.
However much we may be able to i'm
prove modern methods of education, the
best results to our children cannot be
reached until parent and teacher shall
come into closer relations than they are

The Path of the Earth.

The common idea as to the path OF
the earth being fixed in space is
taken exception to by astronomers, on
the ground that there are few, if any,
things in the domain of astronomy that
can really be called fixed in space-the
fact being that unceasing changes are
going on, though these changes are gen
orally SO slow as to escape the notice of
a superficial observer, but are fortunate
ly periodic, so that they fall within the
possibility of computation.
Thus. the earth's path is not fixed,
since the ecliptic changes its position
among the stars, in consequence of
which the obliquity of the ecliptic I'M
dergoes very slow change, SO that
while at present it is a few seconds
more than 80 degrees ~ minutes, in
about Is, 900 years, astronomers calcu-
late it will be reduced to % degrees 10
minutes, after which it will begin to
increase again, a change so slow and
within such narrow limits that it can
produce no sensible alterations in the
seasons.
The fact remains positive one, that,
even if the earth in its orbital and con-
sequently the sun in it's apparent mo-
ton in the ecliptic were circular, neither
the motion in declination nor in right
ascension could be uniform.

DEATHS FERRYMAN.
lm q ferryman, old and gray ,

I am a ferryman, old and gray,
And the river is deep and wide,
And whosoe'er crosses by night or by day
Can never return, but forever and aye
Must remain on the other side.
The waters are cold, and the current is swift
And the mists hang heavy and chill,
And backward and forward they slowly drift
With never break, and they never lift,
Though they Seem to be never still.
The heavens are dark and the course is long,
But my boat is stanch and true,
And the waves are rough. but my arm is strong
And safely l ferry the ghostly throng
To the shore, mist hidden from view.
All are equal who cross with me,
Beggar and millionaire,
Vassal and king and bond and free,
Peasant and noble of high degree,
The maid and her lady fair,
The weary toiler who longs for rest,
Brave youth and manhood proud,
The erring one with his sins confessed,
The sinless babe on the mothers breast
And the mother with sorrow bowed.
Some on their journey set forth alone,
With trembling and anxious fears,
Some amid waling, with sob and moan
And prayers that their lives had never known
And heartbreak and bitter tears.
Man brought naught into the world save death
And naught can he take away;
Naked was he when he first drew breath
And naked viii be when he goes with death
On his silent, mysterious way
So all are equal whom death sets free,
To cross to the distant strand,
And king and vassal and bond and free,
Whether of lowly or high degree,
Must all cross the river of death with me
To enter that unknown land.

Fine Behavior Of che Rourh Rider.

The prophets of evil of the Tampa
Bay hotel had foretold that the cowboys
would shoot as they chose, and in the
field would act independently of their
officers. AS it turned out, the cowboys
were the very men who waited most pa
tiently for the officers to give the word
of command At all times the move
ment was without rest, breathless and
fierce, like cane rush or a street fight
After the first three minutes every man
had stripped as though for wrestling

menta but his cartridge belt and can

The enemy were hid in the shade Of

wood trees that skirted the parade
ground. The wife of the second lieuten-
ant had gone for walk and was not
with them. A cry burst from the white
lips of the women. The headlines told
them that their men had been in the
thick of the fight. They glanced down
the columns, read the account and of
the deeds of bravery of their men. They
read the list of the dead and wounded.
The wife of the second lieutenant
came up to them. She saw the papers
