Back to nature has LOndOn's smart
est set rushed in its latest fancy, and
the heavily perfumed exotics Of the
Conservatives are forced to hide their
diminished heads while the wild mi
gnOnette holds sway, says the New
York Press. The Countess of Warwick
is said to be responsible for this craze
for she has worn punches of wild mi
gnOnette fastened in her bOdices dur
ing her lecturing tours through Eng
land, and the cue was quickly taken up
by the English metropolis. While the
majority Of persons have long consid-
cred mignonette as purely a cultivated
flower, the more exclusive florists are
showing beautiful specimens Of wild
blooms from Hants and Thanet No
fragrance emanates from the newly
popular flower, a fact which caused it
to be called false but fair wild mi
gnonette" Distinguished only by its
three cleft leaves from yellow weeds,
it is not altogether a thing of beauty,
but that doesn't matter as long as it
meets with fashionable folks approval.

INDIAN LANDS FOR FARMS.
Government to Open Up an Okla
hOma Region to Settlement.


A new deal rs to take place in the
Indian country in the matter of land
leases, says a Washington special to
the New York Times. Commissioner
Leupp believes that Indian lands
should be leased for agricultural pur-
poses as we'll as for grazing.
The first trial of the new plan will
be made in the Kiowa reservation. 1t
is estimated that the opening of the
pasture lands there viii add a pOpula-
ton of not less than $4,000 to Co
manche county, Okla.
The KioWa pasture lands are in four
tracts, three of which aggregate ap
proXimately $4,000 acres. The larger
tract, which has the Red river for its
southern boundary, contains 100000
acres The rental to be paid the In
dams for their lands ranges from 70
cents an acre to $3.50 as against %
cents an acre under the grazing sys-
TEN.
The scheme which has been devised
is a compromise between opening the
country to homestead entry and leas-
ing it for grazing purposes.
The system devised practically as
sure3 that each quarter section will
have one tenant or family. 1t is i'm
possible for a corporation or individual
| to lease more than two sections, and
the terms are such that no one in
dividual will in all probability secure
| mona than q ouartar section The
| leases will run for five years, and at
! the end of that time the lessees will
! have preference right for renewal.

Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, the Lon
don evangelist, before sailing for his
home the other day, scathingly ar
raigned church conditions as he said
he had found them in this country
during his visit. He declared he was
not surprised to hear ministers com
planning of a lack of interest in church
extension on the part of the people.
1.-The churches" he said, do not
seem to be much more than social or
CARNATIONS, developing along social
lines. What the churches want is
more of God and less of dress and So
cial position; more of the spirit of the
Master and less of strife for place
and money; more religion by example
and life than by preaching and talk

Is the London evangelist's criticism
not justified? The matter of dress
plays large part in church attend

in which man or woman wearing olo

warm welcome. In about all OF the
large cities there are one or more OF
what are called fashionable"

GEoRGIA's GREAT SCHOOL FUND
Two Million Dollars Now Available
for Education.

Two Million Dollars Now AValIaoIe
for Education.
With the increase in the liquor tax
from 5000 to $500, made at the recent
session of the general assembly, and
added income from other sources OF
taxation, Georgia's school fund this
year will reach $4,000, 1000, if it does
not run over that figure, the largest in
the history of the state. Just half Of
this sum, $1,00O,000, comes from di-
rect taxation, while the balance will
come from various sources prescribed
by law.
The increase in the liquor tax will
make the income from that source
nearly $275, 900, all of which goes to
schools. Then there is half the rental
of the state road, amounting to $2lO,-
600, which goes every year to the COM
mon school system. The poll taxes,
all of which 90 to the schools, aggre-
gate some 1865, 900, and the net convict
hire comes to something over 5000, 600.
Here, then, is a total of 81, 900, 900,
which the fertilizer and oil inspection
fees. the show tax and other minor
sources of income given by law to the
public schools will carry the total
considerably above the 5000, 900 mark.
This will be equivalent to about S3 for
every child of school age in the entire

AFTER THE RARGAINa.

It has long been joke that bargain sale will attract women more irresist- ably than anything else, and a recent occurrence at Pittsburg seems to strengthen the charge. A store In that place advertised a sale of mems over alls for a certain day at ten cents a pair. When the doors were opened, women. estimated by one newspaper at three thousand. though that was prob ably an exaggeration. However. that might be. 1t is certain that they liter ally fought for the entrance, some of them fainted, and many were more or less injured.
 Now. can any one give an explanation of such an occurrence? We have not learned that Pittsburg women wear such articles. and if they do, we doubt if the amount saved would repay them for the trouble. not to say injury. of getting one of the great bargains. If they only desired to buy them for male relatives or friends they would much better have allowed them to so and do the trading. We suspect that all the scufde and excitement and crowding was entirely owing to the feminine love of bargains. added to the other deter imitation of each not to allow others to get ahead of her. Still, those who wanted a pair of cheap overalls might have obtained them without making themselves ridiculous.

Up to that time mosquitoes had been few in New London.

 Phil Armstrong, son of MT James Armstrong of The Scottsboro Citizen, Is contributing a column, "Driftwood," to The Montgomery Advertiser. Since early boyhood Phil has exhibited strong literary talent and has forced acknowledgement of nis ability.

His column Is similar to that of Frank stanton of The Atlanta Constitution. and we are pleased both on PhiPs &C., count and on account of our good friend. The Advertiser, that Alabama's g leading daily has discovered and brought forward the most talented young man in the State. The great strength of The Atlanta Constitution lies in the corps of talented Georgians it has attracted to its columns; we hope that The Advertiser may be sue cessful in finding Alabamians whose thoughts are as worthy of publica- ton.
