Not Fully Appreciated.

There arc others besides prophets
who are not rated attheir true worth
in their own country. A boy who
grew almost to mans estate in a
semirural community went out into
the great world and became famous
az lecturer and writer. Unspoiled
by fame, his heart often turned to
his boyhood home. On one occasion
he found that in passing from one
lecturing point to another he would
go through the old town and that he
would have time to pass whole
day there. Accordingly he wrote to
one of the principal men of the
township as follows:
DEAR FR1END-Being about to pass through
my native town and having a day at my dis
posal should be greatly pleased to greet my
old friends and companions Of earlier days,
and know of no better way to do this than
to make an appointment to talk to them at the
old brick schoohouse next Thursday evening.
/ shall be happy to give them my best lecture
entirely free OF charge Invite everybody.
Yours faithfully,
Having thus arranged to do the
bless you my children act, as those
versed in latter day slang would
say, his sensations may be imagined
when he received, two or three days
later, this letter in response:
DEAR SrR-Your favor OF 18th inst reed. In
reply would say that have conferred with
the trustees Of tho School Dsct. No. II in re-
CARDS to opening the bldg. next Thursday
evng. for lecture. and they request mo to
say that the same will not be convenient
With great respct., yours truly.

A Faithful Teacher.

Marcel, noted dancing master
and posture master, was as much IN
love with his art as if he had been q
great painter or musician. he could
not pardon the least inelegance OF
posture.
In his latter days he was in re-
duoed circumstances and severely
afflicted with the gout. A young
lady, one of his pupils, got her fa-
ther to obtain him pension from
the king, and she was deputed to
present it to him. She ran up to his
chair, her eyes sparkling with JOY,
and put it into his hand.
He Immediately thrust it from
him and said, "Go and take it up,
miss, and present it to me as ! have
taught you"
She burst into toars, but obeyed.
II consent to take it now, and !
thank you, but your elbow was not
quito rounded enough. Youths

The room is dim. the logs burn low.
But in the fltful fash 500
Upon the wall the sunbeams glow
Through the green branches of the tree,
The backlog sputters. and hear

Smith could not write shorthand

MANY GETTING MARRIED.

\ Good Record in Issuing Licenses
Made for the Year 1897.
Chatham county has not perhaps known
better year for marriages in sometime
than vas 1897 During the year there were
$50 marriage licenses issued by Clerk Keil-
bach Of the court of ordinary, as against
6S1 issued in 1896. The percentage of col
ored to whites in the issuing of marriage
licenses is about two to one In 1896 there
were 25 licenses issued to whites and 472 to
oolored applicants. In 1897 there were sol
applicants.
These figures do not mean, however, that
there were 100 weddings during the year.
for such was not the case. There were is
sued % licenses, q to white, and 65 to col
Ored applicants, of which no returns what
ever have yet been made to the court In
most instances where the returns are not
made by the marrying officer, it is taken
for granted that the license was not used
and there was no wedding. The preach
ers and justices who marry parties are be-
coming much more prompt of late in maxi
ing their returns than they have ever been
before, so il Is safe to say there were but
few more than 700 weddings in the county
during the year, which. however, makes a
pretty good record. The largest month Of
the year was April, when seventy-nine Ii

judge Advocate wants to Familiar
ize Himself with the situation.
There was considerable inquiry yester-
day as to the cause for the postponement
of the court martial of Capt. o. NJ. Carter
from Jan. to Jan. z. This was natural
in view of the fact that it was thought
there was some significance attached to
the postponement.
Col. j. w. Cious, when asked about the
matter, said the information would have
to come from the war department in
Washington. There was just as little
knowledge of the matter on the part of
Capt. Carriers attorneys as there was the
day before. The Morning News received
a dispatch from Washington last night.
however. which stated:
There is no significance attached to the
temporary postponement of the Carter
court martial for one week. At the war
department il is said Judge Advocate Cen
eral Clous desires to make a personal in
spection of Capt Carriers work prior to
the trial, in order 10 familiarze himself
with the situation"
II would appear therefore. that Co.
Clous desires to so deeper into The mat
ter than was at first anticipated The
evidence is being carefully guarded on all
sides, ana there are few who have any
knowledge of The features of the case.
From the explanation given it seems that
the postponement means less than might
have been concluded by some on first
thought.

Nrunber Erected During the Year.
The year just closed was a fairly good
building year. One hundred and fourteen
permits were issued by the clerk Of council
for the erection of new buildings, each per-
mil representing from one to six buildings.
Probably 2j0 new buildings were erected
during the year Ire feature of the year in
building was the class of houses erected,
the number of small houses being much
less in proportion to the total than in for
mCr years The majority of the permits
Were for two-stOry frame dwellings. There
were Il number of brick residences erected
and several churches, both frame and
brick besides business and public build
iugs Among the latter, the handsome
building of the Pert Society at Lincoln and
ST. Julien streets is the most conspicuous.
The seventh Street Methodist church, the
Lawton Memorial church. and the Beth
Eden Baptist church, colored, head the list
among handsome church buildings. The
following permits were issued last month:

There has been dissatisfaction among
some Of the stockholders Of the South

ONE time. because Of the fact that they
lave been paying money into the com

company has not been paying expenses
and has no income.

yesterday in the Office Of President J. L.

fully discusst1 !. Col. William Garrard was
made chairman of the meeting, and MI

lie affairs of the company ne wound up
and that it go into liquidation. This res

approval of a majority Of the stockhoid-

said that the forty-six acres of land own
ed by the company have been valued 100

worth $4,000. The company also has $fO.J

money
Mr.. Mcclure was confident that he
could secure plenty of men who wanted
work at 81 per day. He made a fair start.
but did not last long. He had between
forty and fifty negroes at the sewer at 7
o. clock. The negroes were put to work
and everything went along swimmiugly
for about three hours. Then the men threw
down their ShOVels and quit. About
half the force came down town
to find Mr.. Mcguire ana tell him what the
trouble was. Ii was hard to find out just
Wha / was.
Some Of the men said the foreman tod
them to quit. 1t was said abe men We're
