A panic in Wall street, involving mil

An important Decision.

The Augusta Chronicle says 1T
NAV be interesting for the lady school
teachers to know how far they have
a right to go in the matters Of society
and beau1. A court ruling has recent
ly been made in Martin, Tenn, which
throws some light on the subject.
The trustees Of the Hall-Moody In
stitute in the town named recently
discharged Miss Copass because she
either entertained company or went
out fully three nights a week." hold
ing this enormous amount OF dis
sipation necessarily prevented her from
doing good work. But Miss CopasS in
dignantly denied the right Of a
passel of old fogies;' to limit her social
of it and brought suit to compel them
either to reinstate her or pay her for
the time covered by her contract.
The Judge sustained Miss Copass and
confounded the ''old fogie" trustees.
Three nights a week." he ruled, is
not too often, whether the lady'S beau
calls on all three evenings or whether
she divides her time in various ways.
There are those Of the lady schools
teachers before whose eyes this writ
ing will fall who would like to see any
school board attempt to regulate the
engagements l am to make with my
gentlemen friends"

Robbed His Own Car.

The officers along the border are
watching for Frank Mccarthy, a
Wells-Fargo messenger, who is alleged
to have robbed his car at San Luis
Potosi, Mex. The story Of the dis
appearance Of Mccarthy as told the
officers is that he jumped from his
car just as the train was leaving San
Luis Potosi, and it is claimed took
with him between s35, 900 and $40, 900.
He is thought to have boarded a
freight train moving just behind the
one he had left and to have come north
to Monterey. Mccarthy soon learned,
it is said, that he was being watched
and before the officers arrived he left
for Sonora in which section he is now
believed TO be.

ShreddinG Corn.

The modern method Of harvesting
corn has not been generally adopted
yet in any portion of the South.
Wasteful methods that have always
prevailed, ard are still practiced. The
blades are sometimes stripped from the
stalks by hand and cured for fodder.
but experience has shown that this
fodder does not pay for the labor Of
gathering and curing. The ears are
snatched from the stalks, thrown in
small heaps, and afterwards a wagon
comes along and the ears picked up,
thrown into the wagon and hauled
away. The other half of the crop is
left to brave the weather and be con-
sumed by wind and rain: and If any
part Of it remains when plowing time
comes it is piled and buried to the
deteriment Of the soil. The modern
way is to reap the corn, as we'll as the
wheat. and in much the same manner
the machine cutting the stalks and
tying in bundles, ready to be set up in
shocks. The ears may be separated
at any time husked and shelled, or
the husking and shelling can be done
as needed. The stalks. entire, may
be cured and stacked and makes ex-
cellent fodder. Or the whole batch
can be run through a shredder and
made into hay, when it will be eaten
up clean by the stock. One reason Tor
not saving the stalks is there is not
live stock enough on the farm to con
sumo it. This is another piece Of had
management. There is where the
farmers profit should come from.

In reply to a question from Mr..
Forcing, Republican of Kentucky, he
said that few Of them were from Ken
lucky.
Have you anything there from
Edward Atkinson?" asked Mr.. Shat
tue, Republican, Of Ohio.
NO, not yet" replied Mr.. Wheel
er. amid jeers on the Republican side.
Anything from Aguinaldo?" asked
Mr.. Mercer, Republican, Of Nebraska.
ITO one who would be guilty Of the
discourtsey of that question:" retorted
Mr.. Wheeler, L will say had rather
number Aguinaldo among my friends
than such as he."
In conclusion Mr.. Wheeler stated
that he had meant no disrespect to
Prince Henry or the German people,
as he did not see how what he said
could be tortured into such an inter
ruption. The incident closed with a
few remarks from Mr.. BOreing, Re-
publican, Of Kentucky, who disayowed
on behalf of the people of bis State
any sympathy with Mr.. Wheeler's po-
SitiOn.
