Gracious, What is that?" exclaimed
careful house mistress, hearing a sudden
crash in the drawing room. Hurrying to
the spot she found the maid had smash
cd the chimney of one of the tall stand
ard lamps. "Oh, Nary how did that
happen?' she cried, reproachfully.
"Shure and yez tould me to be more saw
in with the matches, ma am" replied
Mary, land / was thrying to make wan
do to loight the two of them, and didn't
see where / had put the chimney, l was
that hurried" That's just like you wo-
men," commented her husband, who had
followed her to the scene of action-"you
save a match and break a chimney, and
then think that you are economists"
There is a good deal of truth, says the
New York Tribune, in this crticism-to
be oversaving in very small things does
not always pay. While pure waste
should, OF course, be strictly guarded
against. generous policy in the house
hold has much better results, and is in
the end a saving.
DO not worry your servants unneces-
sarily about triies that are really unim-
portant. Reserve your censure for vital
issues" was the advice of an experienced
housekeeper TO a young beginner. LET
them eat and drink ell they want, and
keep the brown teapot simmering all day
II they like; give the cook all the utensils
she asks for, and see that the housemaid
has a plentiful supply of every thing that
she needs A generous policy in small
things makes it possible to effect real
reforms"
The same advice holds good for the
family. Do not stint your children I'M
necessarily. A well 20 do man should rec
ognize the unalterable fact that he will
never be able to inculcate the habits of
thrift by which he himself may have
risen by being niggardly with his chill
oren; there Is no surer method of making
them spendthrifts. Be generous with
them in small things that they may APP
preciate your reasons when you draw
the line at actual extravaganza. Even
people who are comparatively poor and
who find difficulty in making both ends
meet might do well to realize that some
economies are mistake. The mind and
the spirits should not be starved 40 feed
the body A generous supply of current
literature in the way of periodicals, etc,
and provision for simple pleasures would
keep many family happy at home that
might otherwise drift apart. The indi-
vidual who grew rich by the saving of
candle ends and SIGH" doubtless lost much
that made life worth living.

1t is curious how long circumstances win
sometimes favor the continuance of a
mistake. 1t would seem almost impossi-

to be discovered after several months OF

was only the other day that young Brown
found out that a girl whom he greatly
admired and 70 whom ne had been quite
attentive was named Robinson instead
OF Jones. 1t seems says the New York
Tribune. that about the beginning of last
December Brown, who wss a stranger in
New York. received an invitation for din
ner from the mother Of a business friend
in the West VINO had given him a letter
10 his people. For some reason or other
he was unable TO accept. but a week later
he started forth TO make his dinner call,
and knowing that Jones had a sister, ask
ed at the door for the ladies who hap
pened TO be IN, whereupon he sent up his
card. He had made a mistake however,
in the number. The house belonged 20
the Robinsons, who, although rather sur
prised at the visit knew of the young
man, ascribed il to Western unconVention-
ality and received him without question,
never dreaming that the call was not IN
tended for them. A few days later
Brown met Miss Robinson, whom he found
very attractive, at a dance, and engaged
her for his cotillOn partner at the next
function. and so II went on. He called
several times at the house, always ASK
ing for the ladies, danced and talked con-
stantly with the girl at the various houses,
and finally ended by falling in love with
her without the least suspicion that her
name was not Jones, although he discov-
cred her Christian name was Ethel, ana
it was not until st. Valentines Day,
when he sent her some flowers with some
foolish verses, that he found out his
mistake. That evening the object Of his
devotion received him chillingly How
did it happen" she asked curiosity get
ting the better of her dignity, "that you
sent the flowers for Miss Jones to our
address, He looked puzzled. Because
they were for your he exclaimed. But
why address them to Ethel Jones? sent
them on to her" And then to their
mutual establishment and amusement
came the Ions deferred explanation. But

things had been cleared up to her salts

why that was quite impossible.

IRON SALOON FOR KANSAS.
Joint Owner Preparing to Defy
Mrs. Nation.

A small house made of boiler iron and
mounted on wheels has been ordered
of an eastern machine company by
John Webster, refugee saloon keeper
of Kansas. He will use the iron house
as a saloon. Webster was the part
owner of one of the 'joints" smashed
by Mrs. Nation early in her career,
and he proposes to give the crusaders
something they cannot smash.
If Webster carries out his present
plans he will buy four mules, stock the
house on wheels with liquor and drive
through Kansas for two months before
he goes to Florence, where he will To-
cate, selling as he goes. He believes
that the novelty will be money max

"The plan l have" says Webster,
twill mean the death of prohibition In
Kansas. Inside of three months thera
will be joints like this one all over the
state. Crusaders will have nothing
but dull hatchets."

DIR. w. S. DUDLEY DEAD.

sioner of Randolph County.

DIR. w. S. Dudley, ,of Cuthbert, and
until aecently the county school com
missioner of Randolph county, died
last week at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. e. A. Thomas, in Tampa, Fla, TO
whom he was on a visit. The news of
his death was quite shock to his
wife, son and daughter, who were not
acquainted with his serious illness. DR..
Dudley had been in feeble health for
some time, and was visiting with the
hope that he would regain his strength.
His remains were inferred in Tampa.
DR.. Dudley was well known edu-
Gator, having taught in the male col
lege at Cuthbert, was president OF the
branch college in Milledgeville and
was connected with other well known
institutions in this and other states.
He was known to many people in
Dawson, who will learn of his death
with regret.

SUNDAY IN WAYCROSS.
Church Bells Were flushed and
Voices of Preachers Silent.

The good people of Waycross went
through mover experience last Sun
day. 1t is a city of nearly 1000 inhab
itants and has seventeen churches, but
every one of them was closed. There
we're no Sunday schools open and no
religious exercises of any kind held
save by families in their respective
homes. The bells were hushed and
the voices of the preachers were ST.
lent.
All this was due to the order of the
local board of health forbidding the as
semblage of persons in public places,
because of the existence of six cases OF
scarlet fe yer in the community. 1t is
understood that the pastors of the
churches assented to the necessity of
the board s action. The people them
selves raised no complaint.

SENATORIAL WIT.
Mr.. Bryan's Paper Tells of Sharp
Passages Between Statesmen.

Mr.. Towne's speech on the Philip
pine question brought out passage at
arms between him and Senator Depew,
which has been widely circulated, says
the Commoner.
The New York senator said 81 con-
graduate you, Mr.. Town. Your deliv-
cry was fine, your dlctlOn elegant and
YOUR peroration surperb, but your ar
gumcnt was damnable. " II am delight
ed to know" instantly replied the SEN
ator from Minnesota, THAT you APP
prove of the only features of it you
could comprehend. y
This recalls an exchange OF compli-
ments which is reported to have occurr-
ed between Senator Beck of Kentucky
and Senator Hoar of Massachusetts.
The former likened the senator from
Massachusetts to tract of land in Nlr-
Gina described by Randolph as bar
rem by nature and impoverished by
cultivation" The gentleman from the
Bay State awaited his opportunity and
when a fellow senator, commenting on
Mr. Reck's continuous speaking in the
discussion of tariff bill, asked;
"When does his mind rest ?" replied
"W hen he talks" Evidently the SEN
ate is not always prosy.

The Wise thing for the cotton grow

AGENTS ARE ASKED.
Central Railroad Wants Informa-
ton About Prospect of Peach
Crop Around Dawson. .

The Central railroad will soon know
what effect the cold had upon the pros
pective peach crop. Traffic Manager
E. H. Hinton has telegraphed the
agents of the road at Griffin, Barnes
vile, Forsyth, Fort Valley, Marshall
Vile, Dawson, Albany, Arlington, Fort
Gaines and Cuthbert, and reports by
them will be made within the next
few days.
Instructions to the agents were for
them to discover from the leading
growers of their sections whether the
cold had any effect upon the trees, and
reports from the agents are looked for
after the growers have been able to
Judge as to whether the trees have sus-
tanned injury.
The places mentioned are regarded
by Mr.. Hinton as representative OF
their sections, and what may be true
of the immediate neighborhood OF each
place, with respect to it's prospective
peach crop will be true to its entire
section. The agents, too, are instruct
ed to interview representative grow
ers, so that the reports received by
Mr.. Hinton may be relief upon as in
dicative of the situation throughout
the peach belt of Georgia.
1t is not believed that any injury
was done in this immediate section by
the recent cold snap.

BACON LEAD DEMOCRATS
MADE PASSIONATE SPEECH.
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS FIERCELY DE-
NOUNCE PROPOSED LEGISLATION,
Which Was to Permit "Plunderers to
Feed Upon the PROSTATE Land
of the FiIipinos."

Not since the enactment of the reso-
lutions declaring state of war to ex-
list between the United States and
Spain has there been such an ava
lanche of passionate oratory as the
senate listened TO Thursday, says
Washington special.
Throughout the session the army APP
preparation bill! was under discussion,
the controverted question being the
Spooner Philippine amendment and the
Platt Cuban amendment. Both amend
ments were denounced as vicious and
pernicious legislation, subyersive OF
the principles of this government and
unparalleled in the history of legisla-
tive enactment.
The most notable speech was by Mr..
Bacon of Georgia. He passionately
branded as libel reports that the dem
ocratic members had been induced by
questionable means to withdraw their
opposition to the proposed legislation.
His arrangement of the administration
for ''coercing" congress into enacting
such provisions in the closing hours OF
the session was sensationally fierce,
and he declared that the only possible
object of such action was that the
s'plunderers and vultures" might have
an opportunity to prey upon the LAND
of the PROSTATE FilipinOs.

MARRIED NEGRESS.
Bridegroom Uncle of Girl for
Whose Death Negro Was
Burned in Kansas.

A dispatch from LeavenswCrth,
Kan, says the people were astonished
to learn few nights ago that John W.
Forbes, brother of 7. w. Forbes, the
man who lighted the fire to burn the
negro Alexander, who caused the
death of Forbes daughter, had just
married Tennessee Holt. young negro
woman of that city.
The marriage license was issued sew
eral days ago. No significance was
attached to it until the negroes OF the
city began telling it around With con-
siderable pleasure that one OF the
Forbes had married negro girl. The
negroes incidentally remarked that
the Forbes were the kind of white men
that burned negroes.
John w. Forbes is wealthy land
owner and resident OF SheloyVllle,
Tenn. He went to Leavenworth sew
eral days before the burning OF Alex
ander to comfort his relatives over the
murder of his niece, Pearl Forbes, On
the day of the burning John Forbes
distinguished himself by piling timber
around Alexander after he had been
tied to the stake. His remarks at that
time were not very complimentary to

STILL THE CRY IS PAY.
South Africa War Has Already
Cost England $4O7 500, 900.

A London dispatch saws The days
of "pay, pay, pay are at hand and the
grooming and lamentations haye begun
throughout the land. A year ago the
country faced heavy budget with the
cquanimity with which the English
men always bow to the inevitable.
This year the announcement OF a Sc
rious increase in the burden of tax
alton is not received with the same
philosophical resignation. The fact
that the government is still sending
out troops in the most expensive war
that England has ever waged is having
a more powerful effect on public opin-
ion than any events that happen in
South Africa itself.
The general popular attitude thus
far has been that, though there have
been plenty of plumbers both at the
war Office and in the field, yet these
we're inseparable from any British
campaign. The sole excuse Of the inn
mense area of the operations has been
accepted as adequate on the whole for
the multitude of sins, and it has ever
been held to be sufficient eXplana-
ton OF the failure of a great army to
crush few thousand burgEers in eigh-
teen months of fighting.
The government confesses that the
war expenditures to date have amount
ed to S4O7 800, 900. OF course there are
several weeks arrears, and if the war
should end tommorrok there would be
many millions more to pay, in addition
to bringing the troops back. The cost
of the war under the most favorable
circumstances, therefore, cannot fall
short of 5000, ,000
