Will It Pay Z?

A writer in the Southern Cultivator
asks this question and then proceeds
to answer it. We certainly agree with
his conclusions. In this climate 1t pays
to raise chickens whenever you can get
good fertile eggs to put under the hens
or into the incubator:
Will it pay-does it pay-do fail
chickens pay? VIII it pay to raise
them? Has it ever paid any one to
raise them? This is the silent query
in many a mind at this season-it IS
an open question in many household,
it is much more worth trying and
it is something worth knowing, and
solving for ones own knowledge and
satisfaction.
In mathematics it is question SO
simple that it answers itself. We say
simple, because we have only to COM
pare a hen and an egg to settle the
uuestion-only to ask ourselves, which
Is the most valuable-from which one
we may in the future obtain the most
value.

MUTUALLY HELPFUL.

The transportation monopoly press
bureau at New York is keeping the
mails loaded these days with litera-
ture against railroad regulation legis-
lation. The latest received is a copy
of an editorial from the Knoxville
Journal and Tribune which asks:
What would the South be today were
it NOT for the presence of the South
ern. the Louisville and Nashville and
the other great systems that have laid
their tracks of steel all over the
SOUTH" Quite as pertinent an inquiry
would be to ask: Where would these
great systems earn so much on their
money if the South did not pay them
excessive freight and passenger rates
and permit them to list their property
for taxation at much less than fifty per
cent of their value? In Georgia the
railroads are taxed at 40 per cent of
their commercial value; in North Car
olina at 81 per cent but in the South.
as whole, it is less than one-half
of the commercial value.
The South is no pauper to be under
obligations for railroads which it sup
ports handsomely The South helps
the railroads and the railroads help
the South The score is even. II
gives glad welcome to all who invest
money in railroads and other enter
prises. gives them protection and pat
ronage, and demands that they shall
be treated With fairness and not
charge exorbitant rates for transport
ing freight and passengers. 1t stands
for rate regulation by law in order
To compel justice to the people and to
the railroads alike.

IS THIS INDICTMENT TRUE?
Are Young Women Influenced so Much
by Fine Feathers?
(Marshville Union.)


Take the sorriest and most worth
less young man and dress him UP IN
fine clothes and let him part his halr
in the middle and put him in crowd
of intelligent and thrifty moderately
dressed young men and let the aver
age young girl pick out a husband
from the bunch and ninetynine tKles
out of a hundred she will choose the
one with the best clothes. That IS
what an observant man said the other
day. and it's true. 1t reminds US OF
an incident that happened in TINS
county several years ago. 1T was when
ladv school teachers were not as plen-
tiful as they are now, but in GER
tain neighborhoOd lady teacher held
an honorable position of this kind
An industrious young man was work
ing in the same village. and he began
having her some attention, and IL
frequently happened that he would
step out of his work shop and talk
with her a few minutes. Finally she
made complaint to some of her friends
about the way the young man ap-
preached her for conversation With
out his collar and tie on. He heard
of it and promptly sent her word that
he thought it was man she Wanteu,
but if it was a collar and tie he would
go to the store and buy them for her.
It's an unfortunate thing that so many
girls Judge a man by his dress and
personal appearance. This superhclal
standard of judging worth and merit
has brought a life Of disappointment
and misery to many q poor woman.

GOOD FOR JUDGE PRITCHARD.

The telegram yesterday from Ashe-
vile that Circuit Court Judge Pritch-
ard had rendered the decision for
damages against the Southern Rail-
way for killing Mr.. Cope in the Og-
den train railway wrecks to the State
courts of South Carolina, is an incl
dent for comment and commenda-
ton. The case was begun in the
Court of Common Pleas in Greenville,
S. c., and the Southern Railway Sc
cured it's removal to the Federal
Court. Upon appeal Judge Pritchard
sends it back to the State courts and
DEGREES that the railroad pay the
costs.
The Southern Railway enjoys pro-
lection to its property from the State
which has power to regulate trans
portatiOn charges and assess for taxa
ton. 1t gets all the money it makes
from local traffic in South Carolina
from South Carolina people. When
it commits a tort or is guilty of neg
ligence why should it run for cover
to the Federal courts? The answer
is that in the past most OF the Federal
Judges in it's territory owe their ap-
pointment largely to railroad influ-
ences and often lean so much to raul
roads that the individuals feel they
cannot get justice in their courts. An
other reason is that the delays and
costs in the Federal courts are so
great that the mere removal enables
railroad lawyers to effect a compro-
mise with plaintiffs that they could not
extort if the case had not been taken
to the Federal courts.
When he went on the bench Judge
Pritchard stated that he hoped to be
able to show that there would be no
further need for prejudice against the
Federal courts in this State. He has
rendered several important decisions
that have served to give the people a
hope that the era of corporation domi-
nation of inferior Federal courts is
at an end

SPECULATION THE CAUSE.

Nine times out of ten Eve had
almost written ten times out of nine)
when you hear of the failure of cor
poration that was organized with suf-
ficient capital, you can put it down
THAT the officers have been specializing.
This is true of cotton mills and bus,
mess enterprises as we'll as of banks,
bank officers than by the officers OF
any other corporations.
Few cotton mills fail where they
have sufficient capital. except where
the officers think more about buying
futures" than making cotton goods.
The latest illustration of this fact is
in the failure of the Union Cotton
Mills, in South Carolina, which owes
three million dollars mostly lost by
speculation. 1t has lost $4,000 since
January first. and the president owes
the mill nearly half u million dollars.
The temptation of an officer of a
cotton mill to buy futures to hedge"
is very great, but what right has al

stockholders, to enter upon specula-

They had not lived together lof
some time, and last night ABOUT ten
o'clock he accidentally met her on
Shcpherd street. where they began
the quarrel. When, without warning.
he drew his pistol and began iirlng.
The first shot took effect in her
breast. She screamed and turned to
run when he fired two more shots,
one piercing her arm above the ell
bow and another entering her back,
near the spine. As she was staggcr-
ing down the street and screaming,
he took deliberate aim and fred at
her the fifth time, but missed. Gibbs
made his escape.
He was not pursued but the police
are on the lookout for him. Some
think he is hiding in the city. while
others think that the murder was pre-
meditated and Gibbs made good his
escape. One of the physicians i'm at
tendance on his wife, expresses his
opinion there is a possibility of her
recovery.
