HE WANTED TO GO HOME.
Georgia Boys Unique Excuse For
Getting Out of His Work.

One Saturday in July, says J. ii.
Hale in the Worlds Work, | came
upon a boy of fifteen or sixteen crying
as though his heart would break. In
reply to my inquiry l was told, Mother
is dead, and l want to go home! OF
course, I said to him, "Well, go and
see the superintendent, and he will give
you an order on the Office" The boy
moaned, 81 dun see him, and he won't
let me off till bell time"
This seemed hard when one boys
work would count for so little among
several hundred, so l took him in the
buggy and hurried back to the office,
giving an order that he be paid off
and let go at once; but l was politely
told that "the superintendent orders
are that no one is to be paid till night"

POSITION IN SLEEP.
Might Habits That Assert Their Do
minion Over All Mankind.


There are few persons who can tell
offhand just what positions they as
sumo to invite sleep, and yet there IS
not an individual in the world who has
not some trick of distributing limbs
and trunk to insure slumber'S blissful
spell which he practices unconscious
ly. This is night habit as perpetual
and immutable under normal cOndi-
tions as the succession of the seasons.
No sooner are we really off to the land
of nod than the night habit asserts its
dominion. Our hands and arms seek
the same parts of the bed or the same
have nightly rested since infancy. Our
feet and legs stretch at the same an
giles or loosely intwine in comfortable
relaxation, as commanded by uncon-
scious will.
1t is seldom Of our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies in
position for sleep, as you will find to-
night on going to bed if you remember
these words. In truth, If you do not
seek to combat the instincts you will
be surprised at the dispositions of the
various members involuntarily made.
If you endeavor to sleep by new ar
rangement of the body, you will also
be surprised by the revolt against
slumber which will surely ensue, but
even before the struggle is well begun
you will probably surrender and per-
NIT the all masterful night habit to re-
nstate those little details of position
which long practice has made neces-
sary to your comfort.-Eamily Doctor.

Stuart Taylor

The following interesting sketch
of the Rev. Stuart Taylor, who
lived near Rockbridge Baths, ap-
peared in the last issue of the
Baltimore and Richmond Christian
Advocate, and is from the facile
pen of Rev. DR.. John j. Lafferty,
one of the editors. DR.. Lafferty was
for some years the accomplished ed
itor of The LEXINGTON GAZETTE. AS
a writer of vigorous and trenchant
English he easily takes front rank
in Virginia journalism.
civilian Taylor, bishop. mis-
sionary, evangelist, is dead at an
advanced age. He was the famous
city evangelist of San Francisco
in the pioneer period of the gold
hunters. He erected a church
there. He has preached in the
United States, South Amrric b,
Africa, Asia. His success was a
marvel. He drew no money from
the missionary treasury, support
ing himself. He declined the pay
of IA bishop. He travelled chiefly
on foot. He traversed Africa,
many league, into the equatorial
region, among wild tribes, unarmed.
"He was a native of Virginia,
born in Rockbridge county. His
father, Rev. Stuart Taylor, lived
to great age, in best trim, years
after the war We Enew him-had
him for our guest in Lexington,
He was not friendly to the Confed-
eracy, but, living in the confines
Of that republic, he held himself
as neutral. His home was an hum
bic dwelling in rough section
among mountaineers. He preach
ed in the local ranks, holding his
membership throughout the war
with the Methodist Episcopal
CnurcH, NOTuH.
"Though aged, he was straight as
an arrow, with superb physique
and the bearing of gentleness and
greatness, lowliness and lordshir
combined. Stuart Tayl Tor, the un-
heralded and unknown preacher to
an untaught people IN the hills,
and General Robert +. Lee were
citizens at the same time of Rock
bridge county. We think that
Taylor, with the opportunities OF
Lee would have approached the
matchless chieftain in greatness
Of achievements. Next to Lee, he
was the most imposing figure We
ever saw. At the time we write
Of, no one in the classic city of the
Valley of Virginia took notice OF
Taylor, except to look upon him
during the few times he visited
Lexington, as Il semi-traltol
to the Confederacy. He was in
deed Il great man, but never gave
hint that he was aware Of his pow
ers. He preached in little log
church, without a pulpit, but the
sermon was gem of homespur
sense, with the aptest illustrations
And such was the father of Will
liam Taylor, the apostle of every
continent -

COTTON PRESSING TRUST.
Deal on Foot to Purchase All Of Them
in New Orleans.


New Orleans. July A.-The States has
the following:
A deal has been practically completed
here for the purchase of the twenty cot
ton presses of New Orleans by wealthy
Eastern capitalists. One million dollars
has been deposited in New York in con-
nection with the deal and millions are
involved in what is considered one of the
most important financial transactions
that has ever occurred in the South. Ac-
cording to the terms 40 per cent is to be
paid in cash based on the estimated
value of the property and so per cent In
preferred stock upon which dividends OF b
per cent are to be guaranteed.
The only hitch in the deal is in the mat
ter of the presses owned by the Heine in
terests Of Paris The Heines are willing
to surrender their holdings but have noti-
fled the syndicate that they desire to sell
outright for cash.
1t is understood that the manager of
the deal in this city has secured options
upon every press upon the terms men
toned. The negotiations have been car
ried on very quietly and the names OF
the capitalists who are financing the en-
terprise in the East are withheld.
What the intentions of the syndicate
are with respect to the property have not
been learned, but it is suggested that the
deal NAV have some connection with the
struggle between the square bale and the
round bale interests in the South.

show that In this crack cavalry organiSa-
ton. like many others. the officers are
intolerant of the presence of any one
who takes his profession seriously.
Second Lieutenant C. D. Gregson, who
secured a commission February Is, 1902.
was known to be hard worker. efficient
and popular with his men. Monday night
a number Of the officers Of the regiment
chased Lieutenant Gregson out OF his
quarters. hunted him through the bar
racks with whips, at the same time using
foul language; ducked him in horse
trough until he was half dead and sub
sequently wrecked HIS quarters and de-
stroyed his entire kit.
The victim was forced to spend the re-
mainder of the night on the bare floor OF
his room wrapped in an overcoat. The
only explanation for this treatment Is
that Lieutenant Gregson was socially url-
desirable. There is no question In view
of the Lieutenant's record. and the King
connection with the regiment that His
Majesty will order a strict investigation
into the occurrence.

The Bessemer Weekly. well known as
