Romance Of a Chauffeur.

The chauffeur is becoming more
dangerous than ever coachmen or BIZ
cycle instructors or roller skating
teachers were, says the Motor World.
This peculiar fascination of the chau-
ffeur over the fair sex has not yet
been very conspicuous here, but it is
comprehensive that a daring and
dashing driver, with perfect control Of
his car, should become something Of
hero, and the primitive instinct Of
woman was ever prone to hero wor-
ship. The news from England there
fore may be received here as some
thing in the nature of a warning
The London smart set is eagerly
waiting developments in the case 9f
Miss Baldock, who still stubbornly
clings to her determination to marry
her handsome young chauffeur. She
Guly recently passed her twenty-frst
birthday, and has an income of $4,000
a year, with expectations, bound to
be realized if she lives, of inheriting
an additional $4,000 a year. This
may perhaps account for the fact
that the chauffeur has refused an
offer made by the girls father of $780,
600 cash down to call the match off
and exile himself until the young
girl has outgrown her infatuation for
him. He will come of age in Sep
TENDER, and the girl has so far yield
ed to persuasion as to consent 10 the
postponement of the marriage until
October stoutly protesting that she
will make no further concessions to
her parents feelings The father has
issued his ultimatum, to the effect
that the day she leaves her home to
become the bride of the chauffeur its
doors will be closed against her for
ever.

GOOD THINGS ABoUr
feline Is One Of the Most
Animals About Ills Toilet.

"There has been so much talk bout
eats in the newspapers and in pseudo
scientific circles Of late and about the
way in which they spread all kiIess OF
disastrous and deadly contagious"
said the cats friend in the New Or
leans Times-D Democrat, that it is real
" refreshing to find in print an. thing
that is at all good about the feline.
Recently the cat was put on the out
lawed list in Washington. Doctors
and scientists have been urging for
some time the claim that the cat was
an unclean thing and the scatterer Of
diseases.
1T is a bit cheering in IL raste
of pessimism to turn to the following
in the London Mail, in defense of the
cat: The most fastidious mammals
in matters of the toilet are to be
found among the members of the cat
family, as all must have noticed in
domestic tabbies. The rough tongue
makes an excellent brush, while the
sharp claws are on occasion employed
by way of combs, all these invaluable
aids to cleanliness and smartness pos
sessing the further advantage Of all
ways being at hand when required. A
healthy cat is not only clean, but
fnical, not to say vain, about her Cor
his) personal appearance And moral
degeneration in pussy is accompanied
by neglect of personal grooming. That
the dog is as dirty as boy must re-
luctantly be confessed. He was thu
first animal to be domesticated, al
long association with man has per
haps had to do with his carelessness
in the matter.
eff this view is correct all this talk
about cats being such dangerous mem
bers must be a little wrong. My own
view Of the matter is that the cat is
not the bad and dangerous member he
is supposed to be. He is cleaner than
the dog, according to the English
view, and this is no doubt the correct
view, though the reason assigned by
the paper quoted, namely, that long
association with men and boys is re-
sponsible for the dogs uglier ways, is
probably not to be accepted literally.

Cashier Walters Under Charges.

william H. Walters. Cashier of the
Bank Of Waynesboro, has been put
under arrest by the bank authorities
for a shortage of about $4,000. Walter
claims that there is no real shortage,
but a mistake in bookkeeping. W. L..
McElmurray has been elected cashier
in Walters place. The banks books
are in the hands Of expert account
ants. Major wilkins, president Of the
bank, says the matter is in course Of

said to be thoroughly aroused and
indignant and a protest will be made.
It is claimed by prominent ctr
zens that the tax rate has been al
most doubled without any apparent
cause and up to the present time the
fact that the raise has been made has
not been printed. The citizens, how
ever, have learned Of the action Of
the grand jury and the ordinary.
The reason given for the enormous
raise, It Is said, is that Improvements
have been made in the country roads.
According to the citizens the wofk
on the roads is not sufficient to war
rant any such increase in the tax rate
and they want to know what is to be
done with the money.

costIv RIaze in QuItman.

Quitman was the scene Of dis
astrous fire last Sunday morning, in
which three stores and contents went
up in smoke and considerable damage
done to as many more, and it was only
by heroic work on the part Of the fire
company that whole block was not
wiped out
The fire was discovered in the up
per story of the store of Lazarous
Brothers, and 1t quickly spread to the
adjoining buildings, occupied by G. c..
Joyner, ]. B. Finch eco. and w. T.
Thompson. The frst three stores were
completely destroyed and considerable
damage done to the fourth The con-
tents that were saved were ruined by
IRE and water. The loss is nearly $780,
600 with less than $4,000 insurance.

These statistics show that the peo-
pie recognize that a man trained in
the schools in both the science and
the art of his chosen profession has
an immense advantage over the man
who learns his art by the practice Of
the art. We have long called the doc
tor quack who did not take a medi-
cal college course. The tendency is to
discount any professional man who
does not take a special course prepar-
atory to his life work. True. it is
that he discounts himself by not TAX
ing such g course. The man who takes
the college course and the one who
begins without it will both have to
begin at the bottom, but the trained
man will rise more rapidly and will
go much higher. He does not reach
the end of his tether so soon.
The years apparently lost while TAX
ing the college course are soon made
good by the increased knowledge and
skill. With rare exceptions the man
who devotes most time to prepare
ton will be worth more to the world
and to himself, just as the crude ore
becomes more valuable as it is rein.

coffee's Bond Is increased.

The bond of P. S. Coffey, one Of
the alleged Ave counterfeiters, whose
arrest in Atlanta created such a sen
sation about three weeks ago, has had
his bond increased from $4,000 to $1Of
600. This was done three or four days
ago at the request of the United
States district attorney. Judge New
man, in increasing the bond, stated
he would hear from the defense, if
called upon to do so, and it is like
ly there will be a move made to have
the bond made less than the last
amount named,
Coffey was arrested with J. N. Lit
tie, G. W. Rebb, Will Wyane and o.
l.. McMichael 1t was charged that
Wynne made the bogus plates and sold
them to Little and Coffey, who gave
them to McMichael and Rebb, who
printed the spurious money in a JOB
office in Atlanta Rebb passed some
of the money. and when caught made
full confession. Subsequently Little,
Coffey, McMichael and Wynne made
confessions.
When arraigned for a preliminary
trial, all waived hearing and the
bonds were fixed as follows: Coffey
and Little, $4,000 each; Rebb and Nc
Michael, $4,000 each. Wynne was CIV
en- a hearing in st. Louis, where he
was arrested, and his bond was S.
600.
There has been some talk about
Coffey, who lives in the country, and
is reputed to have some money, max
ing bond, and this may have been
one cause for his bond being raised
to $4,000.
