THE GENERAL ELECTION.

Tho general election will be held next
Tuesday, November 4th 1t is the duty
OF every citizen to go to tho polls and
vote. OF late years voters have been
careless about the performance of this
duty, and the consequence is that
only small vote has been polled in the
general elections. While it is true that
the primary has heretofore, for several
elections, settled the choice of men, still
this might not be 80 again if people are
as careless as in the last few elections
and, besides, it must be remembered
that every voter in the primary election
pledged himself to support the nomi-
nees, not merely to refrain from voting
against, but to actually support them, to
give them vote.
We cannot too urgently impress the
Importance of going TO the polls. 1t
will be remembered that the Republi-
cans have nominated candidate in this
. Congressional District to oppose Wyatt
Aiken. The friends of Mr.. Aiken would
certainly be taken back we're he to be
defeated by their apathy. The way to
prevent defeat is for Democrats to go to
the polls and vote. Let every Demo
cratic voter be at the polls and vote.

16.Year-Old Negro Lynched In Georgia.

Tallapoosa, Ca, October 24.-Ben
Brown, 16-year-old negro, was lynohed
near here last night for assaulting Mrs.
Henry Dees. The negro was hanged
from the iron bridge which spans the
Tallapoosa river, and his body riddled
with bullets.
The troops sent here by Governor Can
dler arrived too late, as the negro had
been lynched some time when their train
reached here.
The negro admitted his guilt from the
fist. The mob, however, took him into
the presence of his victim, who identi
fed him unhesitatingly.
The victim displayed wonderful sto
lidity. The only words that escaped his
lips as he was about being swung VI
were: my God, have mercy on my
poor soul"

Attention, Voters.

If you desire to come to the relief of
several hundred Taxpayers of your State
upon whom the Federal Courts arc try
ing to fasten a tax to pay for railroad
which was never built, and which, unless
relief is had, will very nearly amount to
confiscation of their homes, vote Yes on
the proposed Constitutional Amendment
to Section II of Article VII, relating to
Counties and County Government; which
Constitutional Amendment destroys the
corporate existence of those townships.
and removes all corporate agents, thereby
circumventing the Federal Courts, for
they have conceded that in collecting this
tax they must act through the officers of
the townships; and if said townships
have no officers, they are at their rows
end. The State Courts have decided this
debt invalid, and it is, therefore, not re-
pudiation. Stand by the decision of your
State Courts, and vote for the relief of
your ellow-citizens as against the hold
ers of these illegal, invalid and unjust
bonds.

Macpherson was living it over

nearly he had laughed his life away.

THE SUSPECTED CUSHION.
Lady with a German Gus
toms Omcinl.

A friend Of mine had a most en-
barrassing experience in Freiburg-
im-Brcisgau. She had received no.
tice announcing the arrival of
package from England, and request
ing her presence at the headquar-
tiers of the octroi, writes the author
of continental Chit-Chat." The lady
with whom she was staying was I'M
able to accompany her, and Miss
G., being in hurry for the ball
dress which the parcel contained,
started off boldly alone, notwith-
standing her exceedingly limited
knowledge of German. After keep
ing her waiting some considerable
time one of the employees deigned to
hunt up the package.
She watched the unceremonious
handling of her dainty gown with in
ward qualms as he shook out tho
folds. Suddenly vivid blush over
spread her face as she saw the man
examining small cushion which was
sewn under the back drapery of the
skirt-ladies who recall the fashions
of few years ago will remember
the article in question. The pres.
ence of two students in the Office.
and the evident interest they were
taking in her affairs, did not lessen
her embarrassment either; had the
cushion been stuffed with all manner
of contraband goods instead of in
nocent horsehair, she could not have
felt more uncomfortable. Every
word Of German seemed to fade from
her memory, and not syllable could
she utter TO allay the officials sus-
picions. The burning flush deepened
as he ripped open the cushion, and
exposed the horsehair to the public
gaze, and an intense longing took
possession of her to box the ears of
the two students, who were in con-
vulsions of suppressed laughter.
81 never felt such fool in NIL my
life" she said to me when recount
ing her adventure; "and if those two
fellows are at the ball don't know
what l shall do" 1 believe they were
there, but Miss G., who was a
very pretty girl and always had
hosts of partners, managed to enjoy
herself amazingly all the same.

MISS SUSIE soRABI1.
Young Pnrsee Missionary who Has
Done Wonderful EvangeIlstic
Work in the Far East,

There recently arrived in New York
from Bombay young woman of an
exceedingly interesting personality
and history. Susie Sorobji, is men,
Der of Parsee family-one of the
very few families which have abjured
Zoroastrianism to embrace Chistian-
ity. AS is well known, the Parseea
Persians), of India, of whom there
are over 100000, are descendants of
an ancient sect known as freworship-
ers, or Zoroastrians, who, driven
from their own land by Mohammedan
persecution, sought refuge in Hindu
stan in the seventh century. At the
present day they represent the most
prosperous moral and cultured class
of the native population.
Until 1841 no Parsee had accepted
Christ. In that year Mr.. Sorabji, a
Parsee gentleman of position and in
fluence, was converted, and about the
same time two other men of similar
standing acknowledged the Saviour.
All suffered severe persecution. Mr..
Sorabji died in 1894, after so years Of
missionary work. His widow is at
the head of a great Christian educa.
tional work in Poonah, and her chill
dren, one of whom is the subject of
this sketch, are the brilliant pioneers
of new movements in Parsee life.
Miss Sorabji's only brother, dis.
tinguished lawyer in Allahabad, Is
the organizer of great deal Of
Christian work, which draws to-
gether people of all races and classes.
Her sister Cornelia is the first wom-
an of India to take the degree of
bachelor of arts. She is India's first
and only woman lawyer, and the first
woman to hold a professorship (the
chair of English literature) in the
mems art college in India. Another
sister is, by government appointment,
head of the girls high school and
training college in Poonah, an I'M
usual honor, for it is not customary
to place natives at the head of gov
eminent institutions. The younger
sister of this gifted family, the first
girl to take the degree of bachelor
of science in the Bombay university,
is studying medicine in London, that
she may go back to India as medi-
cal missionary.
Miss Susie and Miss Lima Sorabii
conduct the four schools in Poonah
of which their mother is head; the
former is here to plead for this work.
three times as many would come if
