A Kanaas editor aptIx exnreaae,

A Kansas editor aptly expresses
bit of philosophy in short para
graph. He says: Every farm
boy wants to be a school teacher,
every school teacher hopes to be
an editor, every editor would like
to be banker,every banker would
like to be a trust magnate and
every trust magnate hopes some
day to own farm and have Q hick-
ems. COWS and pigs to look after .
We end where we begin.

When we come into conscious

our deliverance is consummated
and We enjoy the fulness of the
godhead-one with God. If We
have courage We have God; if we
fear and collapse. We are minus the
God standard of being.

Hogg's Equity Procedure.

We are just in receipt of a
handsome circular announcing the
publication by The w h. Ander.
son Company, of Cincinnati. Ohio.
of Equity Procedure, by our fellow
townsman, Hon. Chas. E. Hegg,
who has already written work on
Pleading and Forms, and one on
Equity Principles. The circular
contains the title-page, preface,
dedication and table of contents.
The work consists of two large
volumes of over eighteen hundred
pages. and is masterpiece of
legal literature. 1t reflects great
credit upon it's author, and shows
him to be discriminative. pains
taking and careful writer.
Quoting from the circular, it is
a work "embodying the principles
of pleading aud practice applicable
to courts of equity, and containing
many precedents of general utility,
designed to meet the demands of
practice in Virginia and West
Virginia, and for general use in
other States"
The dedication is made to Capt
VIM. Il Gum. as IS oldter, Lawyer,
Gentleman, who, for nearly half a
century, has been an able, honored
member of the Mason Coun ty Bar,
as token of personal friendship
and esteem and an expression of
appreciation of his courtesy and
manIiness "
Mr.. Hogg, in this work, has rem
dered his profession great service,
and no doubt the work will be
highly appreciated by the bench
and Bar of the two virginias as
an indispensable aid to the perform.
ance of the labors of the lawyer.
We cannot refrain from ex-
pressing our sense of the good
taste and truth which his dedica
ton to Capt. VIM. r. Gum con-
tains. This is no more than might
be expected from Mr.. Hogg. by
reason of the close friendship SUBJ
sisting between him and Capt.
Gum, and his long and intimate
acquaintance with him. This also
reminds us that both the author
and his friend read law under the
same instructor. the late Hon
Henry j Fisher. than whom no
greater lawyer has ever appeared
in our courts in defense of human
rights.

John B. Behee, who died at
Wilkesbarre, Pa. a few days ago
had only one hair on his head.
When young all his hair fell out.
His case was a puzzle for the
physicians. who could not under.
stand why there was not at least a
partial growth of new hair to be
found on the whole body, till about
three years ago one single hair
did appear on Behee's pate. and he
felt very proud of it A friend one
day robbed him of the single hair
and it was thought he would die
of grief. In the absence of hair
the scalp became very hard and
Behee could go out on the coolest
days and not catch cold.

The death of Gen. Cassins NJ
Clay of Kentucky is a reminder
that the country has advanced in
civilization in spite of the exist
ence of the republican party.
Gen Clay was an editor-an old
time editor. He did not exactly
call spade spade. but insisted
that it was steam pillow or a
dredging machine. When the
feelings of the opposition we're
hurt by Gen. Clay's remarks they
would seek him for the purpose of
discharging firearms at him. or
disemboweIing him with bowie
knives. Sometimes they varied
this by challenging him to fight q
duel. or getting up mob to wreck
his Office and demoIish his Wash
ington press.
This put Gen. Clay on the de-
fensive personally while always
aggressive editorially. He acquir-
ed the shooting habit. While al
ways bold and ready for any con-
test most editors do not shoot &C
curately because midnight studies
effect tbs eyesight. and constant
writing gives a rotary movement
to the hand that makes it difficult
to hit anything that is not moving
in an orbit. People who try to kill
editors do not move in orbits.
They are of the unprogressive sort
who do not move at all. But any
thing that Gen. Clay lacked in
craftsmanship he made up in
amount of arms and ammunition,
He was an arsenal and supply de-
pot in the fullest sense. He cary.
ed his beefsteak with a sword and
picked his teeth with poniard,
When he got the child-wife period
he rsed a couple of muskets for
crutches ALI of which reminds
us that war is hell .
Happy this system has now
gone out. The editor is no longer
a target for anything but the
scurrilous ISLANDERS of envious
fellow citizens. He lives in peace
and qniet. devoting his spare
time to works Of benevoIence and
enjoying the deserved respect of
the community. When anybody
imagines that he has been aggriev-
ed by few truthful remarks, and
sues the paper for $4,000, the edi-
tor calmly opens his safety deposit
vault and losses him the money,
taking no revenge except chasing
the mercenary wretch as cheap
skate. What vast improvement
on the old system is thisI The
circulation of newspapers and
money is vastly better than the
circulation of bullets and the ces-
sation of circulation of blood.

CONSOLIDATION AT MoULTRIE.
oil Mills and Ginneries Go Under
One Management.

One management.
Moultrie, Ca, May 30.-A deal was
contaminated here yesterday by which
the two proposed cotton seed oil mills
and the two large ginning establish
ments of Moultrie are to be CONSOLE
dated and run under one manage
ment.
Mr.. j. E. Coleman, who owned one
of the ginning plants and was putting
in a cotton seed oil mill. sold his en-
tire interests to Mr.. S. E. Mace, who
was putting up an opposition oil mill
The Norman ginnery, which is big
and paying property itself will go into
the combination. AS result of the
deal there will in future be no compe-
tition in ginning here and there will
only be one oil mill, whereas there had
been machinery bought for two. The
ginning plant will be run by Messrs.
Norman & Newton, leading warehouse
men and cotton dealers here. The new
company will have a capital of about
$50 00O
This is the sheep shearing season in
Colquitt county and the stock men are
all busy driving sheep and clipping
wool. The wool industry in the coun-
ty is quite a considerable one. There
arr many large sheep owners the larg-
est of whom is probably Mr.. j. E.
Norman, Jr, who has more than 5000
head of fine sheep. Other large owners
in the county are Miles Monk, ST. ].
c. May the Subers and the Murphys.
When wool is selling at fair price,
the annual clip in the county is worth
upwards of $4,000. The sheep are
sheared the latter part of May and the
first of Tune.

FIRE AT CLAYTON.
Explosion Followed by Burning Oi
Several Buildings.

EAPAObAOH II OllOfSeu Uy OF
Several Buildings.
Claxton Ga, May S0.-This morning
about $3.50 o'clock the town was aroused
by an explosion in the store of R. r.
Tippins on Railroad street.
Upon investigation it was found
that the interior of the build
ing was mass of flames
which soon consumed the build
ing, and then spread to the jewelry
store of B. c. Waters, which was oc-
cupied by himself as a jewelry store,
and Mrs. B. j. Simmons as a millinery
store. From there the flames spread
to the butcher shop owned and occu-
pied by w. r. Wilkinson. The dwell
ing in the rear owned by John Leu
was destroyed: also the store house of
H. J. DeLoach.
1t was only by the best of
work that the DeLoach Hotel
was saved Had there have been the
least wind in either direction a great
many more houses would have been de-
stroyed. Among those who did good
work at the fire were Messrs c. NJ.
Sanders and S. P. Braswell of Savan-
nah. Two of the stores destroyed were
brick, the other buildings were wood
and some of them getting old and rot
ten.
The losses are as follows: John
Leu, store and dwelling, $1,000, no in
surance R. r. Tippins, $1,000 to ST.
500. insurance 5000: B. c. Waters, 81
500. no insurance; Mrs B. ]. Simmons,
$500, no insurance; w. r. Wilkinson,
$500, no insurance: H. ]. DeLoach, $500,
no Insurance.; Mccormick Harvesting
Machine Company, $500 to $1,000, not
known whether they carried any in
surance. Those who reached the fire
earliest claim that the side door was
opened, which seems to indicate that
the store had been robbed and fired.
