A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
4he Effect of One woman's Pathetic
Eyes on a Jury.

2he Eject of One WOman's Pathetic
Eyes on a Jury.
That juries are affected by handsome
and languishing eyes is proved by re-
markable experience of the greatest adj
vocate at the New York bar, the late
James T. Brady. He was counsel for a
young woman in case involving an
attempt to break will.
His client sat by his side. She was
very beautiful young woman whose
eyes seemed always to rivet the atten-
tion of those upon whom her glance
fell. There was a pathetic expression
which affected every one. She sat
watching the jury during the course of
the trial, and at last there was some
complaint that she was attempting by
means of her chances to excite the sym
pathy of the jury.
Then Mr.. Brady arose and in one of
the most touching and beautiful of all
the addresses he ever made in court he
spoke of the.blessings which every one
who had an appreciation of beautiful
things and could see them enjoyed, and
dwelt for some moments upon the happy
lot of the jury who could see the bud
ding of the flowers-it kas then spring
time-and the charms Of nature; then,
suddenly burning to his client, he said,
THAT blessing is denied my client, for,
though she has eyes which seem to look
upon you, gentlemen, there is no vision
IN them, for her sight has been taken
from her..
She had been, in fact, the victim of
total paralysis of the optic nerve, which
had not impaired the beauty of her
eyes, but had given to them that sin
gular pathetic expression which she was
thus falsely charged with employing
that she might secure the sympathies
of the jury. Press

THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
Eta abolition Is a Grievous Wrong to
the Children.

Eta Abolition Is a Grievous Wrong to
the Children.
This is an evil which has crept- in
with the tendency to centralize the
schools. When in any place the schools
begin to overflow, a movement to put
upia larger building takes place, accom-
panied by an effort to create a high
school department, not so much the
need of the community as the ambitious
dream of some principal who would be
superintendent or some sort of central
sun to group of satellites.
This dream is too easily realized, be-
cause it fatters the people. Then there
rises preposterous structure of stone
and brick. A house of many gables, out
cof keeping with everything, either pub.
lie or private, in the place; temple of
vanity. Now is rung the knell of the
school playground, for the new thigh
school" although it will house all the
children from to IS, must needs be
surrounded by a fine lawn, studded
with shrubbery and threaded by blue
stone roads. The janitor has to employ
an assistant to keep the grounds in or
der.
A shut in, penitentiaryiike place ha.
been evolved by the architect and school
committee, gratifying to their pride
and a deep wrong to the children
There are many wrongs about it, The
one insisted upon here is the abolishing
Of the recess, that time honored joy OF
the American schoolboy and schoolgirl.

A MISTAKE IN THE BIRD MARKET.

A Persian in the market place
Longed for and SO took home wren
Yes. his was but common case;
Such always are the ways of men
Once his, the brown bird please him not:
Almost he wished it would take wing
He loosed the cage door and forgot
The dark. unsinging. lonely thing
Night came and touched with wind and dew
lAlone there in the dim moonshine)
A rose thatsat the window grew
And. oh. that sudden song divine.
His children started from their sleep.
Their orient eyes with rapture lit.
Their pale young mother hid to weep:
Their father did not care whit.
He only heard the impassioned wall
From that small prison overhead.
my wren is but a nightingale!
I'll wiring its noisy throatP' he said.

LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.
The Growing Fondness Fer Rural
Life Good Sign.

The Growing FOndness Fer RuraB
Life Good Sign.
In The Ladies Home Journal Edward
Box, with much satisfaction, notes the
strong tendency to country living and
believes that sit is one of the best signs
of the times. Nothing in the world can
keep man or woman so young and
fresh as to be able to be in touch each
day with the perpetual freshness and
youth of nature. Suburban life means
more out of door living, and that is
what we Americans all need. We want
more exercise, and suburban living
makes that easier. We want our inter
est in things kept fresh. and that nature
does for US as nothing else can.
'tThe more our busy men see of ma
ture's restful ways the more restful
will they become The closer we keep
our children to the soil the healthier
will they be physically and the stronger
will they develop mentally. The more
our girls breathe in the pure air which
God intended for all, but which man in
the cities pollutes, the better women we
shall have, the fewer worried mothers
we shall see. The more our young men
see of out of door sports the more clear
ly will they realize the greatness OF
splendid physical health.
"The more the tired housewife sees of
flowers and plants and trees the closer
will become her interest in all things
natural and simple, and, as she sees the
simplicity with which nature works nm
consciously, will the lesson be forced up
on her and enter into her own methods.
We all agree that there is no teacher
like nature herself. Let Us all, then, get
as close to her as possible. Whatever
she teaches is wholesome to the mind
and uplifting to the soul and strength
ening to the body. In the very act Of
studying her wonderful ways there is

Our Farmers are Murmnring.

Mr.. EDITOR: We heard several
farmers complaining last week be-
cause they could not realize as
much for their cation as was being
paid at other neighbofing towns.
One man told us on Friday last,
whilst our cotton buyers were pay
ing only 6 cents for the best grade
cotton that the day previous he
had sold his cotton at Kirkseys,
for 64c-not on account, or any
thing of the sort, but for spot cash.
Another man from Trenton said
''You people up here brag about
your cotton mill, and that it is no
trouble to sell cotton here now
but I had four bales of cotton, all
of the same grade, to sell. Two of
the bales I sold Thursday at Tren-
ton at 6s-and two of the bales I
brought here, and the buyer at the
cotton mill only offered me $50,
and came up town and took &c
for them, as I was compelled to
sell. But I was sorry / had not
sold them at my own market town" !"
Aud another man from the Frank
lin naghborhood said on Thurs
day evening, 81 brought three
bales here yesterday-took bids
up town and at the cotton mill,
but not being satisfied I vent on to
Johnston, and readily got from !
to I more than I was offered here"
Our cotton mill and cotton buy.
ers ought to be able to pay as much
for cotton az do our neighbors at
Trenton, Johnston, Greenwood aud
elsewhere. A word to the Wise
should be sufficient.

equitable plan is to store it in some
