A Bank TeIIer's Tale.

The Bismarck Quarry Company had
an option on three acres of land be-
longing to Sam Dunseith, good for one
year, the price being $1,000 an acre.
said the bank teller, according to the
New York Times.
Before the expiration of the time
the company offered payment, which
Dunseith refused. He wanted more.
The man could not legally demand it,
but the company, wishing to avoid a
lawsuit, asked my opinion in the mat
ter. I suggested payment in one-dol-
lar bills.
II obtained a large coin sack, and
counted out the three thousand ones.
Sorting them separately and crumpling
them all up, 1 thrust them. into the
sack, which looked like a bag of
feathers. The president of the COM
pany, together with a lawyer and a
clerk as witness, proceeded to the
house of Dunseith and again proffered
payment, which was again refused.
Walking over to the large table in the
center of the room, the president cut
the string and dumped the contents of
the sack in huge pile on the table.
Here is your three thousand dol
lars! Will you take it?'
THE farmer was amazed at the pile
of money, more than he had ever seen
before. He stammered out:
I guess I'll take it,
'In less than three minutes his sig
nature was on a deed, witnessed by
the LAWYERS clerk"

A Bit of Surprise.

Into the office OF a Philadelphia doc
tor, according to the Philadelphia
Ledger, came a tired man, one morning
this week. who wished treatment. The
physician put on his eyeglasses, looked
at the mans tongue. felt his pulse,
sounded his chest, and said: Same
old story, my friend. Man cannot live
without fresh air: no use trying. 1
could make myself a corpse, as you are
doing by degrees, if I sat down in my
office and didn't stir.
You must have fresh air; you must
take long walks, and brace up by
staying out of doors. Now, 1 could
make a drug store out of you and you
would think 1 was a smart man. but
my advice to you is to walk, walk,
walk"
But, Doctor" interrupted the man.
That's right: argue the question.
That's my reward. OF course. YOU
know all about my business. Now,
will you take my advice? Take long
walks every day-several times a day,
and get your blood into circulation"
But my business" said the patient.
'Of course, your business prevents it;
everybody says that. Just change your
business so you will have to walk more.
By the way. what is your business? ?"
I'm letter carrier" meekly replied
the patient.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Ond) saws:
The man who wants us to appeal to
the conscience of lynchers as a means
of stopping lynching has been sent on
errands to buy buttonholes in his
time"
The Washington Post Ind.) says:
When we hear a man protesting that
he is restricted, oppressed, held down
in the social scale-and we hear il all
TOO frequently, from white and black
alike-we conclude that he wants
something to which he is not entitled;
something he is too lazy to work for;
too shiftless to keep, or too feeble to
obtain. 1t is the lamentation of the
weakling. the drone, the derelict."
The New York Evening Post Ond.)
says: with Justice Brewers belief
that one desirable remedy for lynch
ing is the abolition of the right of APP
peal in criminal cases, the Evening
Post cannot agree. Take the Mo-
hneux case in this city. Convicted on
his first trial. this man went free the
second time he faced a judge and Jury.
Without the aid of the wrongfully in
troduced evidence of the first trial, the
case against him collapsed. Yet he
would have been done to death had
Justice Brewers plan of no appeal
been the law. Before this change can
be made, our judges of the lower
courts must be of better stuff and
freer from political influences"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
(lnd.) says: And now comes the rail-
road man. James ]. Hill, with the view
that the United States government
should never be without an army of at
least 100000 ready instantly to take the
field, and with the familiar declaration
that we must have peace for our in
dustrial and commercial growth, and
peace we will have, IL we have to fight
for it. That is usually the talk of a
man who prefers a peace that has to
be fought for TO a peace which springs
from peace, and such a man seems TO
be the defendant in so many suits to
enforce the antitrust laws. But just
where the expected or hoped-for war
Is to spring up Mr.. Hin does not ven
ture an opinion"

1t is seldom that relations between
officers and men of military commands
become so strained that. unable longer
TO sustain the tension, blow is struck
That this is true is due to the excel
lent understanding of the position Of
the commissioned officer and to the sal
utary effect of punitive measures that
so promptly follow. The latest report
of an encounter in which so serious a
violation of soldierly ethics occurred
is from Illinois, where Lieut.. Winfield
Scott WOODBURY., Company X, of Rock
ford, was struck by Corpl. Seth Houser
Of the same command while on the
train en- route to the state troops
camp. Houser was promptly reduced to
ranks by order of the regimental COM
mander, and his entire stay in camp
will be in the guard house. It is said
that his fate may be a dlshonorable
discharge. A blow, given by either of
ficer or enlisted man. cannot be passed
over. Kipling, In his stories of SOL
diers Three" offered pretty solution
In the fight to a finish with bare fists
between Ortheris and the lieutenant,
but this was fitted to two personalities
that were creations of the talented
Englishman's imagination. For real
ism in military strict regulations are
the best guarantee OF corporal safety
between officer and man.

rHn rEAM For SEA GIRr.

Added zest in the rifle contests at
Avondale range may be looked for.
since it is definitely known that Geor-
gia is to be represented by marks
men at Sea Grit next month. The
announcement in yesterdays Morning
News that an order had been issued,
directing Col. George T. Cam, inspec-
tor general, Georgia State Troops. to
select a team, was received with in
terest by many in Savannah, for it
means that Georgians will compete
again with the best shots of the coun-
try in the great matches that have
made Sea Grit famous among lovers
OF target practice.
Col. A. r. Lawton will receive gen
erous commentator for the part he
played in securing the order. He has
long been allied with the military, and
this is not the first time that he has
proven that his retirement from active
service has not diminished his ardor.
1t was largely through the showing
he made to the Governor that authority
to send a team was secured. Besides,
he guaranteed the expense, counting
upon the government for reimburse
ment.
The order authorizing a Georgia team
for Sea Girt will benefit the state
shoot now in progress at Avondale and
the interstate shoot that Is to follow
hard upon its heels. Among the best
shots there will be additional incen-
tive to make excellent scores, for
they will appreciate that they shoot
under the eye of Col. Cam, and that
upon the work he sees his selections
will be based. A deeper interest in
the matches of the local shoots win
be shown, and some of the famous
rifemen, who of late years have not
been so active on the range, may be
induced by the well-known attractions
and prospective laurels of Sea Girt to
again make an effort to win a coveted
place on the team.
Not all upon the side of the shoots
will the benefit lie, for the team that
will be chosen will derive great adj
vantage and improvement from the
constant practice that it will have
The local contests will give Col. Cam
the opportunity he wants to judge of
the qualifications of the marksmen.
The selection of the team, or the de-
cided narrowing of the competition for
it, may follow hard upon the interstate
shoot, and then there will be time for
team work before getting off to Sea
Girt, where few days work on the
range in preliminaries is always
sought.
The Georgians will return to Sea
Girt sustained in the position they
assumed in 1899, when there was a
question as to the Hilton Trophy
match. Failing to gain the point for
which they commended, they declared
that they would not return while the
range was conducted under the same
auspices. This year, for the first time,
the matches are to be under the d.
rection of the general government.

An energetic lieutenant for President
Roosevelt has come to light in Mayor
A. F. Knott of Hammond, Ind, whose
enthusiasm in the cause OF race per-
petuation manifests itself in fervid ad-
vice to everybody. who may not al
ready rejoice in connubial bliss, to get
married. So anxious is the Mayor to
see everybody made happy that he has
offered to wipe out all costs and tie
the matrimonial knot just as hard and
tight as any preacher or justice of the
peace can. Mayor Knott holds that
the bachelor should be forced into mar
rage by combination of benedicts,
who should make a marriage certifi-
cate a sine qua non when an appli-
cant for employment appears. Were
he not too gallant this suggested alli-
ance of the benedicts might prompt
the bachelor to accept an old adage
that observes upon the love that misery
feels for company.

THE VIC. C. CO.'S DIVIDEND.

The action of the Virginia-C Carolina
Chemical Company in passing it's divi-
dend did not, in all probability, cause
much surprise among those who have
kept informed in respect to it's affairs.
1t seems that all along its trouble has
been a lack of sufficient working CAPT
tai. Last year, if we are not mis-
taken, it had only few thousand dol
lars of surplus after it paid it's divi-
dend. According to it's report, how
ever, 1t had large quantity of goods
on hand, and doubtless much capital
tied up in accounts not due.
According to the statement publish
ed yesterday it's credit is excellent, so
that it is able to get all the money
it needs for the purposes of its bust
ness. The financial concerns that have
agreed to let it have money are among
the strongest in New York.
The stock of the company has been
falling steadily for weeks, and it is the
understanding that those who had the
stock on margins lost heavily on it.
The reason of the fall was probably
that the impression got abroad that
the dividend would be passed. The
selling began, and that alarmed those
who did not know the actual condition
of the company.
The statement put out by the COM
pany says that it is necessary to have
greater amount of working capital
and that some plan should be adopted
to secure 1t. Probably the plan that
will be adopted is the suspension of
dividends on the common stock for a
year or two. OF course the holders of
the stock would miss the dividends,
but they would lose nothing, since the
company would be stronger by being
put in an easy financial condition.
The outlook is that the coming year
will be particularly good one for fer
tilizer companies. The price of cotton
is high, and If the high price continues
through the season there win be big
demand for fertilizers next year. Fer
tilizer companies generally are pros
porous, and there is no reason why the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company
should not be, provided it is we'll man
aged.

member of the faculty of Butler Col

A short time ago Prof. c., while
waiting on account of a punching Of
Irvington's street cars downtown, was
struck by stray idea. Why not
construct a seat, utilizing the tree
that shaded his corner, and some OF
the bits of plank about the yard as
materials? To think was to act with
the professor, and he was soon ham,
mering away at the job. In a few
minutes he had constructed a sub
stantial, If not handsome, seat against
the east side of the big maple at the
corner, and stood back to look with
satisfaction at his work, and, inciden-
tally, to suck his thumb, which had
got in the way of the hammer a time
