Would You Live Your Life over.
Letter to New York Sun.


1t may not be inappropriate in an
swer to AN Average Mans" question
as to whether we would live our lives
over again exactly as they have been
to quote the inclosed lines from Cor
don, the Australian poet:
I've had my share of trouble and I've
done my share of toll,
And life is short-the longest life a
span;
1 care not now to tarry for the corn or
for the oil,
Or for the wine that maketh glad the
heart of man;
For gifts misspent and good undone
and resolutions vain
tbs somewhat late to trouhle-this I
know:
I should live the same life over If
had to live again
And the chances are l go where most
men go.
Charles Frederick Stansbury.

There is great deal of humor lost
to the world in the interviews between
doctors and their clients, if one may
judge from the specimens that are oc-
casionaly allowed to come to light,
says Tit-Bits.
For a whole year the famous DR..
Radcliffe attended a friend without a
single fee passing between them. As
he was leaving after his last visit the
patient said, Here. doctor, is a purse
in which | have put every days fee
You must not let your kindness get
the better of my gratitude; so please
take it," The generous physician put
out his hand to reject the purse, but
the chink of the gold was too much
for his amiable resolution, so he put
it in his pocket, saying, "Singly, sir,
l could have refused them for ever
but all together 1 am afraid they are
irreSistiblei"

The North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege, at Dahlonega, has made prepara-
tons to conduct a summer normal
school during the six weeks between
April 2S and June next. The an
nouncement is made that the total
necessary expenses of the session will
amount to only SIG, including every
thing. This is a very reasonable sum,
well within the reach of those the
school is designed to benefit. These
summer schools are power for good
and they deserve the patronage of
every teacher or prospective teacher
who can possible attend them.

NJ. Cornely, of Paris, who is not a
partisan of the government, thus sums
up the situation in France as regards
the, government and the religious con-
gregations: If the congregational
lists had been willing to listen to the
advice of Leo XIII, who for ten years
past has been urging French Catholics
not TO be systematic enemies of the
republic, they would probably have
been left in peace in the mon@teries
from which they are now being ex-
PEELED" II is added that in thus de-
nying the infallibility Of the Pope in
this matter, the congregations have
exposed their own fallbility.

We see it in the New York Evening
Post that 100 white men have applied
for appointment in the Charleston Gus
tom house under the new colored col
lector, DIR. Crum. From this the Post
draws the conclusion that office is the
great leveler after all. 1t bids fair to
break down even race prejudice-that
is, prejudice against the race that has
clerkships to bestow." But that is man
ifestly unfair to Charleston. In order
to draw a conclusion that would be of
any value, it would be necessary to
know some additional facts.

When the irrigation bill was before
Congress those who were interested in
the scheme declared that the total
cost of irrigation would not be more
than S. per acre of land reclaimed.
Now that the entering wedge of ap-
preparations has been placed comes the
announcement, on the authority of Sec
rotary Hitchcock, that the cost will be
not less than $12 per acre and possibly
more. The first estimates. it is ex-
planned, were based on what irrigation
work had cost private parties. But
when the government undertakes any
work II is always safe to assume that
the cost will be about twice as great
as that of similar work accomplished
by or for private interests. Long be-
fore the irrigation work is completed
the appropriations for that purpose
will mount up into the hundreds of
millions of dollars.

client when his wife fell sick, to play
for delay in anticipation of the wom-

tually did die before the case was
heard, and the husband fell heir to
$4,000 of her property. The lawyer
claimed a fee of $1,000, while the client

him the full fee claimed. 1t all sounds
rather heartless, still it is "law."

Senator Carmack of Tennessee has
declared in favor of Judge Parker of
New York for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President next year, and says
that he would receive the support of
the whole party. But is not Senator
Carmack a little premature? Mr.. Bryan
in his paper recently declined to ex-
press an opinion with regard to Judge
Parker until he had ascertained what
the judges views are on public ques-
tons. Is Senator Camack in a posi-
ton to explain Judge Parker's views
and say they would be satisfactory to
Mr.. Bryan?

USELESS BOOM.

It is rather surprising to find that
the suggestion made in one of the
New York papers recently, to the eff
feet that Mr.. Cleveland was the
strongest man the Democrats could
name for President, is being taken Sc
riously. 1t seems, however. that
boom has been started for him in the
anthracite coaElnining section of Penn
sylvania, and is meeting with much
success.
There is no doubt a strong sentiment
in favor of Mr.. Cleveland in many
parts of the East. Indeed he has
strong friends in all parts of the coun-
try, but not enough to justify making
an effort to bring him forward as the
nominee of his party for President.
Mr.. Cleveland could not bring har-
mony into the party. On the contrary,
he would force the factions further
apart. With Henry Watterson in one
part of the West firing hot shot at
him all the time. and Mr.. Bryan in
another part making speeches calcu-
lated to turn Democrats against him,
and vast number of other Democrats
of prominence hating him because they
believe he was responsible for the
break in the ranks of the party. his
chances of being elected, even if he
succeeded in getting nominated, would
be so small as to be hardly worth con-
sidering.
MIR. Cleveland is out of the political
field Booming him for the presi-
dency is wasting time. Mr.. Cleveland
does not expect to be made the party's
leader and it is pretty certain that a
majority of the party are not anxious
to have him in that position.

PEACH ORCHARD PESTS.

A feature of the annual meeting of
the Fruit Growers Association at Ma
con was the resolution calling on
Georgias representatives in Congress
to get the government to aid in max
ing war on the pests of the peach
orchards. The resolution was based
on the policy of the government in as
sisting in fighting the boil weevil in
Texas, the cattle disease in New Eng
land and the apple orchard pests in
various parts of the country.
1t is probable that the government
would send experts to this state to
seek means for destroying the pests,
but it is a question if it would do
more than that. But it seems that
remedy has been found and assistance
is desired in applying it. 1t is doubt
full if assistance could be obtained for
that, though there is no reason why
an effort should not be made to get it.
AS pointed out the amount which
the government appropriates for as
sisting fruit growers to fight pests is
very small, and when it is spread over
the entire country the sum which
the fruit growers in any one section
get is very small. Some of the dele
gates favored calling on the state for
assistance. No doubt the Legislature
would be disposed to do all it could to
assist the fruit growers. 1t certainly
would be to it's benefit to do so. On
account of the increase in the peach
crop there has been great increase
in the taxable values of the state. We
don't know how great this increase is,
but it must be millions of dollars. Be
sides, the peach crop adds hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the states
wealth annually.
The peach orchard acreage is in
creasing all the time. Every year
millions of peach trees are planted. In
the course of a few years, at the pres
ent rate of increase, Georgias output
Of peaches will be the wonder of the
entire country There ought therefore
be no efforts spared to get the better
of the pests which threaten destruc-
ton to the peach trees. Let both the
general government and the state be
asked for assistance in fighting them

Six years ago a negro of the name of
Click Mitchell was lynched in Cham
paign county, Ohio. There is law in
that state which provides that the
county in which a lynching occurs
shall pay to the heirs of the victim the
sum of $1,000 damages. When the mob
had made short shrift of Mitchell.
members of his family began proceed
irgs to collect the $4,000. The county
combatted the claim, and it was car
ried from court to court, finally reach
irg the Supreme Court That tribunal
a few days ago upheld the law and
the decisions of the courts below, and
ordered the county to pay the sum
named to the heirs of Mitchell. This
has been done. Hereafter following
this precedent, a lynching in Ohio will
be as good as $4,000 insurance policy
to the family of the person lynched.

DUE TO ACCIDENT
Says Coroner's Jury on Edward
Jennings Death.
Sensational Testimony and Queer
Verdict in Suspicious Case.
The End May Not Have Been Reached
in the Case.

Roc}land, Me. Sept. 11.-After an ell
days session, the coroner's jury at
Stonington, which had been consider
ing the case of Edward Jennings. the
lobster fisherman, whose body was re-
covered, yesterday, rendered a verdict,
at S45, this evening, to the effect that
death was due to accident.
The report states that while the jury
is satisfied the man was dead before
he struck the water the evidence sub
mitted did not warrant the conclusion
that death was other than accidental.
There was some quite sensational
testimony during the inquest and it is
not positively settled, tonight. that the
case is ended with the verdict of the
coroner's jury.
