Bankruptcy Al any Rate.
Wilmington Star.

An Indiana jury granted a divorce
to o woman, allowed her $47, 900 ali
mony, a house valued at $4,000, gave
her the custody of the children and
an additional allowance of S266 month
to support them. All this was done
on the ground of 'cruel and unusual
treatment" the principal allegation
being that her husband subjected her
to great pain, humiliation ard morti-
fication because he failed to wear a
dress suit at a dinner and reception
which she gave some Of her fashion
able friends. Surely and indeed it
would have meant electrocution, for
Adam to have had his case in the
hands of that jury. ,,.:.., :,

We Have Pirates Still.

1t seems incredible that pirates should roam
the high seas during these days when so
many modern navies are sfloat, yet a most
thrilling and we'll authenticated story comes
from Malaga.
According to the cablegram the Spanish
sailing vessel Joven Teresa, while near the
Moroccan coast, was chased and fired upon
by q Moorish vessel. There were q number OF
Moors on board the Joven Teresa, and they
tried to overpower her crew.
The latter were finally compelled to flee in
q small steam launch. They were pursued
by the pirates on the Jovan Teresa, and were
about 10. be overtaken, when a mail steamer,
the Ciudad de Mahon, hove in sight. The
cries Of the sailors for help were beard and
the steamer bore Town and picked them up.
The Moors beached the Jovan Teresa, and
then fred a fusillade at the Ciudad de Ma
hon
1t has been almost 100 years since the
United States navy swept the northern coast
Of Africa free of pirates. n the swarthy
seamen ofthat part ofthe world seem to have
forgotten the lesson.

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
Gainesville, Ga, May lS.-The sermon
of Rev. Sam P. Jones, at his taber-
nacle meeting here, Tuesday night,
created a senation as he attacked
everything from a justice court bailifl
to the governor Of The state, including
everything between these that was
catering to dishonesty, false methods
and sin. He eulogized Theodore
Roosevelt, not because he, Mr.. Jones,
was a Republican, for he was, he said,
as much Republican as he was
"nigger," but be was for Roosevelt,
who asked and desired nothing but a
fair deal, and that he was for that and
would stand for it at any cost.

Who Could Blame the Chino?
Atlanta Constitution.

The Chinese are quite right in their
view of the treaty of 1868 in its bear
ing on the exclusion question. To eX-
clude Chinese from the United States
after the expiration of the convention
of 1880, without a renewed convention
is clearly a violation of the original
treaty regulatinging trade and inter
course between the two countries.
And China seems to be in no mood TO
be jollied automatically out of her
boycott determination.

Less than one hundred survivors of the

Rock today. They met there, many
of them, accompanied by their fami-

the speakers Of the day were Depart
ment Commander Albert A. May, Com
rade Eugene A. Blake and others
The Fourteenth was mustered into
the service with 1000 men and soon
after was increased to 1900. They par
ticipated in every battle that the Army
of the Potomac was engaged in and
when they were mustered out there
were only about two hundred men Of
the regiment left. Since then many
of them have died. They usually hold
their reunion on September II, the an
niversary of the battle Of Antietam,
but as the 17tn would have fallen on a
Sunday this year, they neld their an
nual reunion today.

The board of equalization until this
year had been composed of the auditor,
secretary of state and land commas
sioner. The last legislature created a
tax commission of three members and
made them ex-officio members of the
board.
The tax commissioners on several &C.
casions brought in their own steno-
grapher to take down the discussions
verbatim. Mr.. Nichols each time OBJ
jected to the presence of the steno-
grapher and the taking down of the
proceedings in short hand, but his OBJ
jections were Overruled.
Mr.. Nichols thereupon gained a feel
ing that the new members of the board
were trying to run things, and yesrer-
day he expressed himself forcibly on
the subject.
The board had just heard the last of
the counties to appear before it, when
Mr.. Rockwell presented a motion that
the board reclassify the counties for
the purpose of equalizing the state
taxes.
Mr.. Nichols warmly objected to the
motion on the ground that the word
Redistribution left the inference that
the classifications of the board of last
year were not proper ones. He sug-
gested that the members of the tax
commission were not there to dictate
the proceedings of the board.
Mr.. Rockwell, when he saw the effect
of the motion, hastily suggested that
discussion be postponed. Mr. Nichols
insisted on having it out then and
there.
CAS- 1 read the law he said, "the
members of the tax commission are not
members of the board this year for the
purpose of dictat ting what it shall do
They are here solely to get information
for use in their own work"
"The law makes us members of the
board" retorted Rockwell
Eek officio only" said Nichols.
Eek officio or not replied Rockwell
with neat Il think I have a right to
make a motion, and making a motion
is certainly not debating the policy OF
the board
Auditor Clausen then suggested that
the schedules from some of the cour-
ties had not yet come in and that he
did not believe the motion was a proper
one at that time. Rockwell offered to
withdraw the motion, and in the midst
of the discussion, Nichols arose and
left the room.
Il think said Land Commissioner
Ross, that when the proper time
comes we should proceed to classify
the several counties without reference

The new plan is the conception, how
ever, of Deputy State Superintendent
H. B. Dewey, who was formerly SUPER
intenient of Pierce county. Mr.. Dewey
outlined his ideas to the convention at
considerable detail. He is opposed
however, to one idea that is a favorite
among school workers, namely, that
Of removing the election of county and
state superintendent from politics by
electing them at special school cleo
lions.
Mr. Dewey maintains that the direct
primary is certain to be adopted by
this state within a very few years.
and under that system the superin-
tendents will not be dragged into the
political squabbles of conventions,
which is the greatest objection to
electing superintendent at the same
time as other county and state officers.
