"Are you satisfied"
And stephana answered: "Yes. "
Straightway she awole, and saw that
she was lying under the old willow be-
side the brook She also discovered
that the feet had become small and
were shod with her own pretty red
shoes; that her limbs had got their
graceful roundness again, and that heI
skirts were about them; that her arms
we're round and dimpled, her shoulders
and her chest plump, and her hands
smooth and white.
"Oh," she cried, springing ioyfuly
to her feet, I'm nota boy! I'm a grill
And I'm going to be a good sister tC
Joseph. And some day I may have alsc
n husband and a son. And maybe, if
do right, / shall be the light of tbeii
lives, like the sister of the merchant
the wife of the admiral and the mother
of the general"
So she went home and made the
house merry with her singing.-N. Y

What is The Compromise /?
GreenyilIe MountaIneer.


Mr. G, c. Featherstone, OF Laurens, is quoted
high license forces In order to repeal the
dlspensary law, and afte- the repeal has been
accomplished, he is satisfied these forces can
come together and agree upon something
satisfactory TO both sides. This plan OF Mr..
Featherstone might eventuate In the repeal OF
the dispensary law, and TO this extent the
legislature action would be consistent with
the wishes Of the prohibitionists, but the
vague possibility Of q further agreement be-
tween high license and prohibition advocates
does not seem to be plausible, unless IL is
meant that they will unite upon county local
option, which seems to be the popular Idea
lust now. With the utmost respect for Mr..
Featherstones opinions, we do not consider 1t
wise or prudent for the prohibition members
of the Legislature to tie their hands by any
compact with those who differ so radically
with these members as to the legal control OF
the liquor traffic. 1t would appear to be much
more consistent and even more polite to pre-
serve an armed neutrality, so to speak, be.
tween the advocates OF high license and the
dispensary, both OF whom favor the legal sale
of liquor and differ only as to the mode True,
the prohibition members will have TO choose
any entangling alliances for them TO keep
aloof from compaots Of any sort, voting as
Individuals upon the measures proposed, and
allowing the fight TO be made between high
license and the dispensary. High license
men are in O position TO lead the attack upon
the dispensary, and their voluntary action on
this line is q logical outcome OF the recent
campaign. Prohibition Is In a. mi nority, and
It's advocates can only act as balance OF pow
er in the Legislature, choosing the least OF
evils as they are presented for consideration.

Death OF Mrs. Kennedy.
Troy. s. G.. Jan. 80, l89
"Jesus can make a dying bed,
Feel soft as downy pillows are"

"Jesus can make dying bed,
Feel soft as downy pillows are."
Such was the passing away of the idolized
wife Of Mr.. A. B. Kennedy, who died near
here Friday evening, the 9Th, at six O'Clock,
so cheerful and patient Her kind ministra-
tions will be missed by all. Many who were
deprived Of the necessities OF life found In her
door. and all who have visited her home
know OF her various kindnesses. But her
Christian life was one worthy Of imitation.
SO afflicted. she had been deprived Of going TO
church. When nearing the end: she said that
dying was falling asleep, and death had no
sting for her; she was ready: She has raised
q large family Of children, oil OF whom were
with her, except one son and such affection ls
seldom seen; although grown, and most OF
them have families, they were around her
bedside as little children. and wept bitterly.
No medical aid was lacking, but With palms
OF victory and crown Of glory, she entered
sixty.third Birthday. Many followed her re.
mains TO our cemetery, and by the side OF
dear son she sleeps. But she will arise from
the land OF the beautiful dead. and ascend to
for the Saviour hath said, HE that drinketh
thereof shall not die." The vacant chair Is
there; the counsels OF the devoted mother
will be missed; the loneliness OF the kind hus-
band will bring many heartaches. God did
this, and we know that all things work to-
gether for good TO such as love God.
She has gone from US forever,-
And tits aad, yet friends must sever;
AS the flowers upon the lawn,
For the cheek that Lloometh gaily,
Wears the shade of death behind,
And our observations daily
Teach US all to be resigned.
When the welded vine Is riven,
And It's tendrils forced to part,
Is there not Friend In heaven
To bind up the broken heart?
Dwells there not some mediator
In the spirit land Of bliss?
Yes proclaims the Great Creator,
"I'll not leave you comfortless."

THE SOUTHERN VOTE.
The Method by Which Republicans
May Discourage the Southern
Outrage Business.
Atlanta Journal,


There seems to be an organized effort to
reduce the represen tation of the southern
states in the next Republican national con.
vention. For years past complaint has been
made that the southern states, which rarely
cast an electoral vote TOR Republican candi-
date, have undue power In naming the Re-
publican presidential ticket.
Blaine lost the nomination In 1875 because
John Sherman has often said that he would
have been nominated In 1888 If Alger had not
scooped "his darkey delegates"
Several times IL has been proposed to make
the basis of representation in Republican
national conventions the party vote In each
state at the last presidential election, so as TO
cut down the artificial strength OF the south
ern delegations, and there will probably be q
sharp contest over this matter when the COM
mittee makes its preparations for the next
convention.
The New York Press urges that change of
some sort be made that will put the southern
vote at It's proper quantity. IL protests
against "the quadren nial spectacle OF Texas
aud Georgia entering a Republican conven-
lion on equal terms with Massachusetts and
Iowa" The Press adds that 1.-The events OF
Mr.. McKinIey's term are too i'm portant to al
low either his denomination or the opposition
thereto to depend upon any such factit ious
quantity as the votes OF the southern delega-
lions in the convention OF 1900. The
presidents friends doubtless expect, and
have good reason 10 do so, that he will be re-
nomi mated by acclamation. II their faith Is
control The national committee, than prove
the spOntaneity of that acclamation by set
ting this reform at once In train"
The Hartford Courant, edited by Senator
Hawley, heartily endorses the position of The
Press. and says: "Everbody knows that
several OF the southern delegations are large
ly composed Of actual or expectant office
holders, and come up to the national con-
vention from states where the Repub lican
party il at present little more or better than a
political skeleton. Every body knows, too,
that the competition for the votes of such
delegations has been responsible more than
once for scandals that have not only made a
stencil around the convention hall at the
time, but have left malOdorous legacies and
remin nders behind them"

publicans OF the south Will find 1t hard 10

EDUCATIONAL SHORTAGE.

That the Board of Education should
be short of money argues one of two
things, either miscalculation in the
amount of funds needed, or a too law
ish expenditure of the money in the
early part of the biennial period. The
last Legislature was liberal in it's APP
preparation and granted all the money
that was asked for. Once having the
appropriation voted it would have been
a simple thing to divide each appro-
priation by twenty-four, which would
have given the monthly pay roll for
the period. This monthly average
should never be exceeded, indeed it
should be kept within the monthly lin
it, so as to have little surplus to pay
for unexpected schools. New centers
grow up and have to be supplied, and
unless there is some reserve fund they
have to be neglected. IF such a course
had been followed there would not be
a shortage.
So with regard to repairs. Exactly
how the commissioners have arranged
about them is not stated, but some
what of a similar system should be
followed. Say that $4,000 is allowed for
repairs and incidental expenses of a
district. 1t would be manifestly absurd
and unbusinesslike to spend $4,000 in
the first twelve months, and then have
only 81, 900 left for the last twelve. And
yet, though the above figures may not
represent the exact expenditures of
any particular district, some such sort
of method has been allowed to be en-
ployed.
If one has long days march before
one, it is very poor policy to drink up
all the allowance of water before noon
and then have nothing to moisten ones
lips with in the hot hours of the af-
ternOon. If the commissioners found
that their funds were not adequate to
the plans they had laid out it was
their bounden duty to "cut their coat
according to their cloth" and do with
out certain expenses which might be
excellent in their way, but which they
simply could not afford.
In a matter of this kind every in
dividual commissioner is responsible
to the country. 1t should be their
duty to acquaint themselves with the
current funds for the pay rolls and to
prevent any undue rises in salaries, if
they are going to eventually be to the
detriment of the main body of teach
ers. There is injustice in granting in
creases during the first half of a BIZ
ennial period and cutting them off dur
ing the last half. In July or August of
last year it should have been quite pos
sible to have calculated forward what
could and what could not be done,
throughout the entire period. 1t is
very evident that no such calculation
was made, or if any attempt was made
it must have been woeful miscalcu-
lation.
