Interruptions Ceased.

A clergyman who had been greatly
annoyed by the continued Interrupt
ton to which he had been subjected
during the delivery of his sermon
stopped abruptly and looking round
at the congregation, spoke as follows:
"Some time ago, while delivering
sermon, I was frequently inter
rupted by a gentleman sitting in
front of me, who gesticulated, moved
about and whispered to his neigh
bors, and at last I addressed to him
sharp reprimand for his unseemly
conduct. When the service was over
my clerk in the vestry mentioned the
matter to me, and asked if I was
ignorant of the fact that the person
addressed was an idiot. I have since
then always hesitated to reprimand
any OF my congregation for fear that
I may be addressing an idiot, who is
not responsible for his actions" ST.
lence reigned throughout the delivery
of the remainder of his sermon.-ES

cotton farmer as well as the owner of
square bale compress:
"Dear Sir: A few days ago I
noticed bill introduced in the Leg

pany 40 per cent. of its gross re-
ceipts. presume the BILLS intended
to confscate your property or drive
you out of the State.
"Your machinery congresses the
cotton in a smaller and better pack
age than the present compresses.
You are in the field now Offering to
save the cotton growers fully Sl.0O

the cotton at the gin and the saving
of bagging and ties, yardage, etc.
"No doubt it is the intention of
the Legislature toprotect the present
congresses from your iniquitous
competition, and as compress man
I want them to do it.
Gas a farmer, however, I hope you
will not be driven out; I want to
continue to sell you my cotton at
about S1.00 per bale mere than if
put up in square bales.
Yours truly,

President responded with a warm
word of farewell.
President Mckinley said: "Our
glorious old flag, the symbol of lib

soldiers and sailors. (Applause

triumph Of prosperity. The busy
mills, the active industries, the gen.

great triumph is the triumph we have
had over our sectionalism. We are
no longer divided people, and, he
who stirs up animosities between the
North and South is denied a hearing
in both sections. The boys of the
South and the boys of the North
fought triumphantly on land and sea
in every engagement during the war.

Now the same electric thought,

And with free and unresenttul rivalry r
Harvest the fields whereon they fought.

inception Of the government continue
his gracious and assuring favor to US

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I have been thinking of making
an offer to the schools in the county
Many of our children write yer,
poorly and the term of public schoo
is so short that without special eff
fort very little improvement can bt
made.
I will give gold pen to the child
making the greatest improvement in
writing the vertical system in three
months of 1899 1900, beginning any
time after November 1st, 1899 and
contest to end May lst, 1900 No
specimen will be considered whose
writer has been in the contest more
than three months; no school can en-
ter with less than ten contestants.
Each pupil entering the contest must
write the name of his or her school,
the county and State il full and GER
terry that it is the best writing he
can do on that date (givipg the
date) and send the same to me. At
the close of three months, be will
write the same as the first, changing
nothing but the date, and send it to
me without delay. On May the 10Th,
or as soon after as all specimens
have had time to reach me, I shall
have them carefully compared by
schools and the best improvement
from each of all the schools will be
compared and the reward will be
orwarded to the successful one by
registered mail.
I have taken the vertical from the
simple fact that it can be learned
much easier than the oblique. And
I have limited the time to three
months as many of the schools in
the country may not run longer. If
all the teachers wLo place their
schools in the contest ask for the
time to be four months, I will make
it so, but the time of beginning and
ending must not change from No.
vember 1st to May lst.
I am perhaps the Oldest teacher in
in the county and no doubt have
had the best success in advancing
children in penmanship, therefore, I
desire to let this part of the school
extend over the entire county and 70
doubt some child will be greatly ben
efted and others much improved in
writing by this little act on my part.
I feel sure that the children in every
school will take hold Of this if they
have encouragement from their
teacher. And the teachers should
make an effort to have their schools
successful. A little reward on their
part to the best in their school would
be nothing amiss. Very respectfully,
S. S. Lindler.
