bushy engaged in preparing the docket
for the new term. which contains the
names of not less than three hundred
unhappily married folk, who are seek
ing either to annul the marriage con-
tract or to get alimony.
The number OF divorce cases for a
term varies little. while despite the
change in population, the number OF
licenses issued monthly has not varied
appreciably in twenty years. The
Morning News of Sept. 2. 1883. in an
article on the Court OF Ordinary, re-
ports the fact that there were. during
the year then just passed, 72S licenses
issued. During the past year the to-

or a gain in twenty years of about six

The United States recruiting office
since Oct. %. has discontinued the gen.
eral recruiting of men except ex-sold-

run out, but this state of affairs is
expected to end within the next few
days, when general recruiting will be

the engineer, signal, and hospital crops,
however, and has just received orders
to make special efforts to get must

net, an Eb tuba, a BIB clarinet and a
bass drum or trombone are wanted

The recruiting Office has done a very
large business since it's establishment
in Savannah. The average number
of applicants is seventy a month and
the large majority of these are white.
Because of various physical .disabili-
ties, however, the average number of
applicants accepted is but three out

is probable that of the $4,000 worth
bought in at the December sales, half
will be redeemed before Tuesday.
The application for writs of possess

in a few days. after the expiration of
the allotted time for the redemption Of
the property bought in at the Decem-

not known. but it will at any rate,

A great deal of the property brought

the two mentioned, is still subject to

THE RIGHTS OF VETERANS
To Sell Wares Under Their Licenses
to Come Up in Superior Court.

To Sell Wares Under Their Licenses
to Come Up in Superior Court.
Has a Confederate veteran, who has
a veterans license, the right to sell
his wares from a wagon at the city
market, without paying a market fee?
is the interesting question which will
be determined by the Superior Court
at the December term, in the case of
]. U. Hester against the city.
The answer of Recorder Myrick,
who, at the trial in Police Court, rem
dered a negative decision, was filed in
the clerks office yesterday. 1t was
merely copy Of the record of the
lower court, in answer to the writ of
certiorari. When the case was tried
in the Recorders Court, the Recorder
reserved his decision for several days.
The outcome Of the case is watched
with interest by. number of Confed-
crate veterans. The case, while in
volving but rs cents, presents a pretty
question, and it is not at all improb-
able that It will yet be reviewed by
the court of last resort.

PEACE IS RESTORED.
Buencamino ls In Favor of ContInu-
 ance of American Rule.

Chicago, June 19.-Don Filipe Beun- camino, who was secretary of state in Aguinaldo's cabinet, and who is now making tour of commercial investiga- ton in the United States, is strongly in favor of the continuance of Ameri- can rule in the archipelago. My ob- jects in coming to this country are many" said he. "I want to explain to the people of the United States the situ- alton In the Philippines at the present time; to ask for amnesty for former rebels for further educational facilities for the people; to collect data to hold an exposition in Manila and to further develop the commercial relations be- tween the archipelago and the United States.
 ''The American people should under stand clearly that peace is completely restored. All that remains are a few rob- Der bands which easily can be disposed of by the native constabulary and they probably will be dispersed or extermin- ated within six months. In regard to the reports of atrocities committed by American soldiers in the islands there have been some abuses but the authori- ties have seen that the perpetrators re- ceived the punishment they deserved Ii Is not fair to condemn the whole army for the abuses of few soldiers"

TULANE CATALOGUE OUT.

We have received the new catalogue Of Tulane University of Louisiana, in New Orleans. just received from the Uniyer- sity Press. An examination of its con- tents shows that the year just closed has been one of the most notable and successful in the development of the uni veIs sity. The teaching force and the at- tendance have been the largest in all her history. being S6 teachers and 1928 stu dents. The opening of the dormitories during the year has filled a long needed want. and makes 1t now possible for a student to attend the university at a minimum cost. It is estimated that $17S will pay he expenses of a scholarship stu dent in the academic department for a session. and the bureau of self-help will do all in its power to assist students of limited means to pay their way through. There are a large number of scholarships open to Louir:ana boys ana it is the declared policy of the university that in tho academic colleges no boy. if prop trly prepared for college work. will be turned away front inability to pay tu- ition We note that the attendance of students from the country parishes Is steadily increasing

One of the handsomest college annuals is that published by the students of the Central College at Tuscaloosa, the Fern and Violet" It is attractively bound in dark green, ornamented with the club col DTS, lilac and gold. On the cover appears the motto of the Outlook Club, The hor- izon widens ss we climb"
 It contains a number of clever stor- les, essays. poems and other sketches, all written by the college girls and the little magazine positively scintillates from cov- CT to cover. It Is brilliantly edited and every story is marked with originality and charm that is most fascinating. There is short drama and numerous little sketches that deserve to be dram atized, and altogether the Central Col lege deserves hearty congratulations upon their success The Fern ard Violet will take its place among the brightest college me gazines of the year.

NEleHeoRLY CONSIDERATION.

I
 A communication addressed to this de- pertinent begs for something to be writ ten along the lines of the necessity of neighborly consideration The case in | point is that in certain neighborhood there is a ''neighbor" who keeps a reg ular menagerie Of dogs, and that they make the night hideous with their vocifer- ations.
 In the same neighborhood the majority of persons naturally desire uninterrupted sumber, and yet just as they feel the approach of the drowsy god, he is driven away and for the night. perhaps by the ''yelping brutes."
 T think such a subject would bring you many thanks and not a few grateful prayers. Elaborated it might prove a timely sermon.' writes a sufferer.
 '"The necessity of neighborly considera- tion" Is apropos subject, for during the summer neighborly consideration may find expression In various ways. since this, above all seasons is the time when the stilly night should not be made hide ous. With the Southern climate making 1t necessary to open windows and seek all ventilation that Is possible for fully six months in the year, 1t is not very pleasant to contemplate a night of distracting sound. And yet there are hundreds of persons who are the victims of a canine menagerie. and who are oom- pelled to suffer night after night simply because they have no redress in the mat ter. It Is a sufficient annoyance when people are not afflicted with insomnia and are In robust health, out 1. Is often the case that the greatest sufferers are people with nerves and frequently those who | are really ill
 Even in extreme cases, there is noth- ing to be done on the part of the suffer CT, and 1t Is only when neighborly con- sideration exerts itself that relief may be found.
 No one questions the right to own dogs, but no one who has been disturbed week after week by the continual barking of dog would quietly submit to such suf- fering if there was any remedy. One could move out of the neighborhood, but that might be entirely intellectual, for the new locality might be equally as bad. Another instance where neighborly con- sideratior could fird expression Is In the absence of midnight concerts.
 No one questions the right of people to sing, but there should be some law to prevent midnight solos and plano luets after twelve o'clock. when the great majority of people are attempting to sleep. But this sermon might as well complain of the early morning bells cn the milk21an's cart, or some other sound that Is less welcome. All these noises are incongruous and grating and maddening, and if there is any mor.u in this story George Ade will have to find 1t.
