"ROUGE ET NOlR."
necessary to his purpos

"What is the significance of the pic.
ture that forms the cover of the current
issue of Collier's?" asked a young
woman.
The picture is the likeness of hand
some young woman absorbed in "learn-
ing her fortune" from pack of playing
cards. Spread out on the table in front
of her are the ace and sixspot of hearts
and the ace and sixspot of spades. The
king of hearts is on the top of the pack,
and the pensive young woman is just
drawing the ace of clubs from the bot
tom of the pack. The picture is entitled
Rouge ct Noir."
Several persons have since been asked
to explain the full significance of the pic
ture, which is striking one, but none
could make it out. One person sug-
gested that "Rouge ct Noir'' is the
name of game of solitaire, but no one
could be found who had heard of game
by that uame.-Spartanbur journal
We are not prepared to give positively
the exact significance of the Collier 8
frontispiece, but it strikes us as portray
ing the brown study and intent anxiety
one might expect to find on the face of a
woman deep in game of chance. This,
we think, is borne out by Hoyle's expla-
nation of "Rouge ct Noir": ga game at
cards in which persons play against th g
owner Of the bank; so called because the
table around which the players sit has
certain compartments colored red and
black, upon which the stakes are depos-
tied" The literal translation of "rouge
ct noir" is "red and black"

A Son OF Longstreet.

A recent dispatch from Atlanta says:
"He is the degenerate son of noble
SIRE" said Recorder Broyles this morn
ing when John G. Longstreet, the eldest
son of Gen. James Longstreet, was ar
raigned in the police court on the charge
of getting drunk and cursing the pro-
prietor of Greek restaurant on Decatur
street. There was pathetic scene con-
nected with the trial of Longstreet.
Attorney A. b. Smith, who was present
in the court room on legal business, was
greatly affected when he heard the clerk
call the prisoners name. Stepping up
to his side the attorney addressed the
recorder, asking him to release Long
street for the sake of the service rendered
by his illustrious father. Attorney
Smith said his own father fought under
Gen. Longstreet and he would buy a
railroad ticket to Gainesville if the re-
corder would dismiss the case. The re-
corder, however, thought Longstreet'a
misconduct deserved punishment and he
fined him $3.50 or II days in the work
house.

STATE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The program for the State Farmers
Institute at Clemson August 7 to 10, in,
elusive, is an excellent one. There will
be speakers of prominence, to whom it
will be not only pleasure, but real
privilege as well, to listen. The exhibi-
tion of labor-saving machinery will be of
great value. The introduction of i'm
proved methods and machinery has done
much to put the farmer where he is to-
day-practically the master of the situa-
tion-able to stand alone without the
help of the life.draining lien. What the
farmer needs is what every other business
man needs, and must have, to succeed
practical knowledge and practical, busi-
hess methods. Practical mon will be
Shere to tell of their methods, their ex-
perience, their experiments, and the sue
cess they have attained. We urge every
Oconeo farmer who can attend to do So.
There Is nothing so broadening and bene-
hcial as rubbing against the outside
world occasionally and coming in contact
with those whose experience gives them
Che right to talk, to explain, to show
other3 how to do what they have done.
1t wiz not be a gathering of theorists to
exploit vague theories asSto what they
THINK can be done. They are practical
men, who will be there to tell what they
KNOW and show others how to do what
they have done. BE sure and attend if it
is possible.

better than all-for the present purpose

A CASE FOR THE COURTS.

The fruit growers of Georgia are up
against two hard propositions. In the
first place, the weather has damaged the
crop to the amount of thousands of dol
lars. Added to this the railroads have
made no move to assist the growers to
market the small crop left by the bad
weather. AT Marietta, Calhoun, Menlo
and other shipping points for large fruit
growers the railroads have failed to fur
nish cars to transport the crops, and re-
ports show that from 5000 to 5000
crates of peaches, placed at the stations
for loading on the trains, have been al
lowed to stand in the rain and sun to rot,
simply because the roads have failed
whether wilfully or not we cannot say
to furnish cars for shipping. In moral
sense there is a great deal of difference
whether this failure is wilful or unavoid-
able; in legal sense there should be no
difference. The railroads are public cor
porations-public servants-on whom
the prosperity Of the country, to great
extent, depends. Their rates for trans
porting the products of the country are
ample and in many instances exorbitant.
AS public carriers they should be pre-
pared to handle the traffic of the country.
Their earnings show that they are not
objects of pity, and the high officials and
their salaries indicate that there is an
abundance of cash for any purpose. Yet
these big corporations cannot own or
lease sufficient cars to transport the Geor-
gia peach crop. 1t strikes us that the
fruit growers OF that State have good
case to take to Court. What the out
come might be we cannot say, but cer-
tanly, as we see it, if justice is done, the
fruit growers who have rendered their
crops to the railroads for shipment will
