For the six months following 1 read law
steadily, and Pearson coached me in my
Latin. He seemed delighted when I asked
question, leaning heavily my shoulders
like proud, affectionate tutor.
And here an odd thing that l had noticed
long before.
Pearson did not have much to say to the
frequenters and casual patrons of the up

them in rather overmannered way. Usual

there was a note brought to me from
Roach imploring me to call and see him.
He was held a prisoner-it was not his first
affair.
For some reason felt no resentment to-
ward Roach. l was still numbed I could

NEWS AND VIEWS.

In Kentucky the other day Col. Til
den Marrs grieyOusly wrOnged Col.
Tom Calhoun, and Col. Tom Calhoun
pulled his pistol and killed him. The
way of it was this: Col Tom Calhoun
had sent Col Tilden Marrs for half a
pint of whiskey. En- route with the
fluid Col. Tilden Mars became thirsty
and took Just "leetle" out of the bot
tie. Then he poured water into the
bottle to fill it to the neck again When
| Col. Tom Calhoun found that Col. Til
den Marrs had poured water into his
whiskey his Indignation knew no
bounds, and he shot his false friend on
sight. 1t is queer, by the way, that
one Kentucky colonel should have so
! far forgotten himself as to put water
into the whiskey of another Kentucky
colonel.
A cable dispatch a few days ago re-
ported that drinking was largely on
the increase among the women of Lon
don; the women of society us we'll as
others. A Chicago newspaper sent
out reporters to see the leading phyoi-
clans of that city and ascertain, if pos
sible, what were the conditions there
with respect to women indulging in
| strong drink Or. NlCnOlaS Sem ue-
clared: "There is much more drunk
enness among women than is dreamed
of by most people" Dr. Sara Hackett
Stevenson reported: During the asst
ten years drinking among American
women has steadily increased. The
increase has been greater among the
wealthy classes and the younger social
set than among the lower strata of So
ciety,"
Since 1897 Jay Jansen, agent in
charge of whaling station of Cape
Haven, Batfin Land, has been alone at
that isolated spot. The relief steamer,
Lily of the North, carrying a years
provisions for the lone watcher was
recently wrecked, and now it will be
impossible to reach him before next
summer, by which time he probably
will have died of starvation.

their own farms. The negro farm hand
is rapidly disappearing. The next
generation will scarcely, if at all, know

The white farmer, therefore, who
thinks of his own future, and of the fn
ture of his children, should not shut
his eyes to the plain and inevitable
drift of things. He should put his

GEORGIA GLEANlNGS.

"A negro at Tennille, Ca, wrote a
note to one of the handsomest and
most respectable young ladies in that
town recently and asked her to meet
him at certain place. Some of her
friends kept the appointment, and
now the negro is neighbor to Sam
Hose, but all communication is cut
off.
Georgia has outstripped Kentucky
in growth, and now stands third in the
list of southern states. Missouri and
Texas, in the order named, alone are
ahead of her in population.

Georgia is valued at Sl4, 076, 489. The

THE REAL yellow PERIL"

The real "yellow peril Will be pres
ont when the Chinese are awakened 10
the full knowledge of the resources OF
their empire and have their attention
strongly directed to manufacturing
Sir Robert Hart, who has been resi-
dent of China for more than forty
wears and is authority on all subjects
pertaining to that empire, SAID recent
" that if the powers continued TO pur-
eue the course they were then pursu-
inc the result would be the destruction
OF the Manchu dynasty, and that then
there would be an anarchy there
that 400, 900, 600 of people, accustomed
to a certain extent TO the use OF moo-
ern GUNS and with anarchistic tenden-
cies. would be let loose upon the world
He predicted that in the event OF such
happening Europe woald have reason
70 tremble. because it would be face to
face with a real "yellow peril.
What the civilized world has most to
fear. saws the Savannah News, is the
arousiny of China from her present
lethargic condition to realization OF
the possibilities within her reach.
The Chinese are industrious ano
thrifty. They are willing to work
and to work for small wages. They
can easily be taught to do almost any
thing. They quickly become expert
operatives in cotton factories, and il
would not be difficult to teach then
to be skilful workmen in all kinds o
manufacturing.
The presence of the powers in Chinf
will have the effect of giving new life
to the Chinese people.
