Advice Plainly Given.

An elderly lady went INTO laI Se
retail shop in New York just before
Christmas, and asked a young
woman behind the counter:
"IIave you any gold collar but
tons?"
The girl surveyed her critically a
moment, and seeing an old, plainly
dressed woman, without word,
took down a box, showed it across
the counter and indifferently turned
away to survey the passers-by.
"These are sleeve buttons" said
the customer, gently; 81 said collar
buttons"
Her accent was not that of an
American, and the girl giggled and
looked significantly at one of her
fellows as she took down another
box and pushed it over the coun-
ter.
"These are enameled or set with
imitation stones. I. want plain
gold buttons
"The enameled are the style
now."
Il want the plain gold buttons,
if you please" said the stranger
quietly.
IF you can't find what you want
there we haven't got them," said
the girl, tossing her head. '"La-
| dies" she said insolently, "are not
buying cheap buttons for gifts
now. They want the jeweled
ones"
The stranger rose.
They don't suit you? I knew
thew wouldn't from the first. 'She
banged the lid on the box and
turned her back on the customer.
The lady hesitated, and said in a
| gentle, firm voice: Il might call
your employer and tell him how
badly his interests are served by
you. But I am sorry for you, and
I am going, instead, to waste a
little plain common sense on you.
81 came from England. So did
YOU. You would have waited On
me humbly there for one-third of
the wages you are paid here. Your
purpose now is to show each custo-
| mer that you think you ARE as good
| as she is That is probably the
cause of your rudeness just now.
You may be as good or better than
II. But that is not what your en-
ployer pays you to show to me.
He pays you to show me his but
tons. The more civil and attentive
YOU are the more buttons you will
sell, and the more you will earn.
That is your one chance to better
your condition.
She went out. The girl looked
after her flushed and angry.
"Do you know what that woman
is?" she asked a saleswoman who
was passing.
"That is Lady Dash,' naming a
| well-known noblewoman, who is a
leader in several international re-
forms. "Why? What was she
saying to your"
The girl hesitated. "She was
trying to show me what a fool l
| have been, and I think she did 1t, "
she candidly.

The Nerala aud Mews
TINE EXTENDED FOR
PAYMENT OF TAXES
CoMPTROLLER AND GOVERNOR AL
LOW UNTIL MARCH /.
Order Issued at Last Moment-Why the
Extension Has Beeu Granted-State-
pssnt of This Years Valuation OF
Property.
THE State, Dec. 91st.

The time for the payment of taxes
has been extended after all, though
it was not known even to the county
tressurers until after the regular time
for the payment Of taxes had expired.
So it cannot be said that any who
expected to pay their taxes and
avoid the penalty were given the
chance to delay.
The Comptroller General and the
Governor acting under the law is
sued the following order of extension
yesterday at / o'clock, and notices
were at once sent the treasurers so
as to prevent them from making up
their delinquent statements,
Columbia, S. O., Dec. 80, 1901.
Pursuant to section 610 of the re-
vised statutes authorizing the Comp
troller General, with the approval Of
the Governor, to extend the time for
the payment Of taxes, We have this
day extended the time for the pay
ment Of taxes, which expires on
December 81, 1901, without penalty
until March /, 1902.
J. P. Derham,
Comptroller General.
Approved.
M. B. McSweeney,
Governor.
The Withholding Of action until
the last moment was due to the fact
that large taxpayers who were able
TO pay had been holding back, and
the State and county tressurers We're
in need of funds.
Many OF the auditors have reported
that the "hard year" on the farmers
has very seriously affected people
who have never been known to fail &c
pay their taxes on time. Some Of
the auditors wrote the comptroller
that not half OF the taxes had been
paid in up to few days ago in their
respective counties. Those given the
right to extend the time took the
view that this had been a hard year
indeed and that the poorer property
owners really needed the extension;
they took the view also that even
were the extension not now given the
legislature, soon to convene, would
grant an extension. The order al
lows an extension of 60 days, and at
present none can see the necessity of
an extension for longer period.
There was quite a rush at the
Office of the county treasurer OF
Richland yesterday, but it was not
SO great as on the last day in recent
years.

Yong Term Prisoner Pardoned.

Gov. Davis last week granted & pardon to R. c. Brady, serving on the county farm for the illegal sale of whisky in Craighead county. The case is an old one, Brady having been convicted in about twenty-five cases and fined $200 and costs in each, an aggregate of over $6,000 fines and costs, which he had to serve out on the county farm, as he had no money. Gov. Jones granted him a conditional pardon over two years ago, but he violated the condition and was reincarcer- ated and sent to the county farm. At 75 cents per day, it would take just twenty-two years to serve out a $6,000 fine and costs.

Plea For . State Fair.

The question has again come up through the press, shall we have 9 state fair at Little Rock this fall ?
 ,Asvintelligent reading men you are aware of the fact that in the live stock interests, Arkansas does not rank where her natural advant- ages should place her.
 What a benevolent providence does for country, is so much in- crt matter unless, utilized; and even if this is done, how are neigh boring states to know what we have, unless we place it on exhibit, and invite them to come and sec to be convinced it is not only what we can do but what we have done.
 I appeal to each and all to do ev- erything possible to father the in- terests of a state fair this fall; you owe it not only to yourselves, but to the state, for it is certain those who are native born cannot wish to see their state far behind adjoining ones.
 As an adopted son of Arkansas, 1t is with keen sorrow that 1 see others leading in the production of pure bred stock, and sending beef steers to Kansas City, Chicago, and other large markets, that are but little below the price of the best northern cattle.
 For our own sakes, for our chil- dren's sake, and for the love we bear our homes, I appeal to every one of you to exert yourselves in all ways possible to assist in having a good fair, not only by exhibiting products, but by urging the matter through the press.
 In the history of live stock there has never been so much interest taken in pure breeds as now; we cannot stand still, it IS either ad- vance or fall behind. The press will back us, the business men will stand by us, and shall we whose fu ture prosperity to large extent de- pend on the present decision, be found wanting?
 Brother Breeders, if I should say yes, I should feel l had wronged you. Yours for improvement,
 D. B. Perkins.

Brick Company Wins.

The supreme court last week af- frmed the decree of Chancellor Martin in the famous suit of the Arkansas Brick Manufacturing Company against the penitentiary board, holding that the contract for the hire of convicts with the brick company is valid. That such being the case, the board had no power to annul it; that its order purporting to do so was void that the pro- ceeding was not in suit against the state; and that the proper remedy was by injunction. Battle and Wood, justices, dissented on the ground that the proceeding was in effect a suit against the state. The opinion of the majority was deliv cred by Chief Justice Bum. Dur ing Gov. Jones' administration contract was entered into by the Arkansas Chair Company for the hire of not less than 100 nor more than 300 convicts, at 50 cents per day, to work in its factory at Little Rock This chair company sold out to the Arkansas Brick Manufactur- ing Company, who secured some changes in the contract shortly af- ter Gov. Davis was inaugurated. The matter was brought up in the legislature, and it was contended the contract was against the best interests of the state. Later the penitentiary board passed a resolu- ton annulling the contract. To meet this state of facts suit was brought by the brick company seek ing an injunction against the pen itentiary board and authorities, to prevent the withdrawal of the con- victs from the work in which it had placed them.

Homestead Rights.

An important opinion was deliv- cred in the federal court at Little Rock last week in the bankruptcy case of J. N. Stone, of Casa. On December IA, the day before his failure, Stone removed his family from a rented house into the back part of the store and claimed it as his homestead. The court holds that the homestead exemption, as con- strued by the supreme court of the state, entitled him to retain the en- tire premises as exempt,
