MILFORD WANTS MORE RAIN
Although Hit Hard, Farmers Are Not
erumbling.
Special 10 the Evenlng Journal.

Special 10 the Evening Journal.
Milford, May 5.-Another light rain fell
here on Saturday night, but more is badly
needed. Your correspondents talked with
several farmers Saturday afternoon and
learned Ghat not only had the drought
greatly hurt small fruit but that wheat
has suffered. severely. The canneries have
not yet started in on peas. as the crop is
so badly damaged as to make St impossible
to start up the pack until later in the
week. Farmers are not grumbling though
about the condition of these things, as they
remember the good seasons that have been
theirs for the past two OF three years and
are inclined to accept the present setback
with good grace.

consequences to landlords and farmers, which result in every other business In life when the obligations Of contracts are not performed or respected. The gap once allowed to be opened by discrimtna-
 tions against them. no other class of men
 would be safe from like discriminations. All other classes of society, are like with
 landlords and persons engaged in agrt- cultural pursuits, are subject to losses and damages from the unreliability and dishonesty of debtors and employees, who | fail to perform contracts; but in all free governments the good sense Of mankind since the> days when Imprisonment for deht was abolished, has condemned and drowned down any attempt to eoerce the l performance of civil obligations ny crlm- l inal penalties. If the statute had declared | in terms that no person should turnlsh | food or raiment, to persons Tn certain occupations, In exchange for laoor' when
 they have broken contractss 9f ssertaca without first obtaining the consent n
 their former employers. no one would faii
 to perceive that the statute made harsh and odious class distinctions against per
 sons in those occupations. When the statutes declare that no one shall give
 the croppers or laborers employment
 they break, without sufficient excuse. con- tracts with former employers, without their having their consent. what Is this
 hut declaring that because a person is in a certain calling or occupation and has
 broken a contract, he shall not avail him
 self of the usual means open to all other
 men to obtain food or raiment, except oy
 consent of a former employer? Can harsh
 discrimination between classes be more strongly drawn than here?
 Denial of Equal Protection of Law
 For the reasons already given. this statute is also ivolatlve of the Constitu- tion of the United States. It is an un- just discrimination against a class, and the denial of "the equal protection of the law" to laborers and renters. It attach es consequences to the breaches of their contract obligations. and erects barriers to their right to pursue their usual call ings, which are raised up by law against no other class of men under like cir cumstances. It attempts to coerce per formance of their contracts by means unknown to the law of the land. in the same localities. upon breaches of like contracts by all other classes of citizens A person convicted and put to hard labor for violating the provisions of this stat ute, because he did not give notice of the first employment before entering upon the second, is restrained of his liberty in violation of the Constitution of the United States. and is entitled to discharge on habeas corpus. notwithstanding he is held under a final judgment of 8 State law which remains unappealed and unre- versed.

Beneath the arch thus formed white shaded candles burned in crystal candelabra. The man. tel and sideboard were banked with bridal daisies and white roses.
 The table service was burnt wood dishes and the refreshments were served from wooden plates. In every detail and ap- pointment the wooden plan was con- tinued.
 The punch room was in red. It was planned a Japanese bower and lighted with Japanese lanterns. The table was pretty in lavish arrangement of nas- turtiums and tracings of fern leaves The fruit punch was served from large wooden bowl carrying out in a very unique way the wooden wedding idea by Mrs. Edward Mattel, who was gowned in red mousselin trimmed in a bertha of real lace. and Mrs. Prioleau Ellis of Atlanta. who wore an elegant toilette of rose silk. brocaded In white and yoked with tucked liberty silk.
 Mrs. Crist was beautifully attired in white moussehn with yoke of interlaced satin ribbon and rich lace.
