The statement is often made
that modern college graduates
cannot spell. This is a mistake.
All of them can spell, but their
style of spelling many words does
not conform to that of standard
dictionaries. The directors Of
Colum bia University, New York,
have decided to go back to first
principles and establish a course
in spelling. This needs to be
done in all schools and colleges
for bad spelling by teachers,
preachers, lawyers and all pro.
fessional men is an abomination
objectionable.

Baled Hay and Straw.

The Governor has approved a
law concerning the baling of hay
and straw which is of doubtful
utility. But then the legislature
must do something.
An act entitled an act to regu-
late the baling of hay and straw,
and marking the weight of the
bale.
Section 1. Be it enacted, &C.,
that hereafter all baled hay and
straw shall be properly bound
with wire, rope or other material
to hold it in bundle, and the cor
rect weight shall be plainly mark
ed on each bale.
Section 9. The wood or other
material used in baling cut hay
shall not exceed in weight eight
per centum of the weight of the
entire bundle, and no wood, ex-
cept for a marking block, shall be
used in baling long hay or straw.
Section3. Any person who shall
mark a bale of hay or straw high
er than its actual weight, or who
shall use more than eight per
centum of its weight of wood or
other material to hold it in bun
Gle, shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor, and on conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than twen-
ty-tive dollars nor more than one
hundred dollars, in the discretion
of the court before whom convic-
tion may be secured.
Section 4. All laws and parts
of laws inconsistent herewith are
hereby repealed.

1t was evident in his swagger
that he was scion of the British
aristocracy, and the most casual
observer could not have failed to
note that he was a stranger to the
city. He touched a well-dressed,
auburn-haired young man who
was lolling in front of a Broad
way hotel on the shoulder.

After lighting his cigar he con-
tinued: "Bah Jove, this is a re-

An exchange says that good
citizen is a man who takes pride
in his home town and pays his
honest debts; speaks well of his
neighbors, takes his home paper
and pays for it; who doesn't

of the eagle can be heard a mile

A Severe Blow to Divorce Mills.


The decisions of the United
States Supreme Court in num-
Der of divorce cases will be re-
ceived with great satisfaction by
those who hold a deep reverence
of the marriage tie. 1t will bring
dismay to those who have lightly
journeyed from their own State
totheDakotas or elsewhere, where
divorce laws are lax, and, after
proceedings in the courts were
concluded, though they had re-
ceived legal service from the
marriage bond which would re-
cognized anywhere. The Su-
preme Court, however, has de-
cided otherwise. Some who have
secured divorces in the manner
described and subsequently con-
tracted other marriages will find
themselves in an embarrassing
situation, but in the majority of
cases these cannot hope for pop
ular sympathy.
The Supreme Court declares in
effect that a divorce is only
valid in any part of the United
States when the couple have a
legal residence in the State where
it is granted. 1t goes further
and makes it very clear that the
legal requirements are that both,
and not one, of the couples must
have been bona tide residents in
order that the divorce may hold
good in all parts of the country.
This was brought out in the. case
of couple who lived in New
Jersey. The wife left the hus-
band, and the latter removed to
North Dakota, where he entered
into business, became a citizen of
the State, voted at the elections,
and held a position under the
Governor. While therehe obtain
ed divorce from his wife re
turning to New Jersey only to
answer a suit that had been filed
against him. The Supreme Court
declared the Dakota divorce
null and void on the ground that
both husband and wife had not
acquired a matrimonial residence
in that State. The necessity for
such residence was further en-
phasized in another case.
In this instance both husband
and wife lived in Kentucky. The
wife left him and went to New
York TO reside. The husband
sought and secured a divorce
in the Kentucky courts. This
the Courts held to be valid divorce
because the proceedings We're
taken in the State where both par
ties had had a legal residence to
the period of desertion. The eff
feet of the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States
seems clearly to be that divorce
proceedings cannot be success
fully completed except in the
State where both husband and
wife have a legal residence, or in
the State where the couple lived
when the cause for such action
occurred. A severe blow has thus
been struck at the pernicious
loose divorce law in some of the
States The decision will go far
towards discouras;ing people dis
satisfied with their matrimonial
relations from attempting to sew
er them by proceedings taken in
a State by one of them taking up
a temporary residence there. 1t
may also hasten uniform divorce
laws in all the States an end for
which many thoughtful citizens
have been working for some years
past--Public Ledger.

NESBITT MAY OPPOSE STEVENS.

A special from Marietta to the
Atlanta Constitution says: Colo
mel R. T. Nesbitt, of this county
will probably be a candidate for
commissioner of agriculture next
year. He has received numerous
letters from his friends through
out the state urging him to make
the race and he now has the mat
ter under consideration. When
asked if he would run, he admit
ted that it was highly probable
that he would.
"Colonel Nesbitt is a strong man,
a practical farmer and filled the
commissioners Office creditably
for several years.
"After retiring from the COM
missioner's office three years ago
he was elected to the senate from
this district and since serving his
term as senator has devoted his
attention to his farm 3 miles south
of Marietta.

THE MAN WITH THE BLACK WHISK-
Frs.

Georgia has stringent law forbid
ding its citizens to carry pistols Short
ly after the passage OF this enactment
Judge Lester was holding court in lit
tie town, when suddenly he suspended
the trial of the case by ordering the
sheriff to lock the doors of the court
house.
Gentlemen" said the Judge, when
the doors were closed, Il have just seen
pistol on man in this room, and /
cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty
to let such violation of the law pass
unnoticed. | ought, perhaps to go be-
fore the grand jury and indict him, but
if that man will walk up to this stand
and lay his pistol and fine of 81 down
here, / will let him off this time"
The judge paused, and a lawyer sit
ting just behind him got up. slipped his
hand into his hip pocket, drew out a
neat, ivory handled six shooter and laid
it with 81 down upon the stand.
That is all right" said the Judge,
"but you are not the man l saw with
the pistol"
Upon this another lawyer arose and
laid down Colts revolver and dollar
bill before the judge, who repeated his
former observation. The process went
on until nineteen pistols of all sizes and
kinds and shapes lay upon the stand,
together with $40 by their side. The
judge laughed as he complimented the
nineteen delinquent's upon being men
of business but added that the man
whom he had seen with the pistol had
not yet come up, and, glancing at the
far side of the court, he continued.
III give him one minute to accept
my proposition, and if he fails, will
hand him over to the sheriff."
Immediately two men from the back
OF the court arose and began to move
toward the judges stand. Once they
stopped to look at each other and then,
coming slowly forward, laid down their
pistols and their dollars. AS they turn
ed their backs the judge said:
1.-THE man with the black whiskers is
the one that l originally saw"

AMUSING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Some people excel in under
standing, others have genius for
misunderstanding. To the latter
class nothing seems to offer more
fruitful field than a correspond
ence with some department of the
government. A writer for the New
York Times cites few illuminat-
ing instances.
A request came to a department
for one of its publications. The
request was granted and the book
sent in the familiar manila wrap
per, bearing in one corner the le-
gend, "Official Business. Penalty
for Private Use, $780," In due
course of the mails the following
reply was received:
Dear sir wat does that mean

that mean that you want pade for
the book if it does let me know an

The head of another depart
ment who sets the highest value
upon every publication issued un-
der his auspices recently received
request from one of the "sover-
eign people" for "his report. !"
Delighted to find an appreciative
reader, the official informed his
correspondent that his department
issued a very large number of pub
LEGATIONS, and that he must conse-
quently request the title of the re-
port desired.
The answer came promptly:
"Any one will do, as 1 want it
for a scrap-book."
The popular notion of the func-
<tion of the government is a source
of never-ending wonder. The Com
