decision last Wednesday in the
case of Charles L. Fridley against
E j. SomervilIe, from this county.
This was case in which the plain
tiff tried to have a deed he made
to the defendant set aside claiming
it was a mortgage; but the deed
truly stated the transaction between
the plaintiff and defendant. and
that evidence overwhelmingly sus-
tains the theory that Fridley in
tended to make deed. The
PLAINTIFF bill was dismissed, and
decision given IN favor of the
defendant.

4 HARVARD PLAN.

An interesting marriage tontine scheme entered into by six Harvard college chums ten years ago is about to expire. They agreed with one anoth- CT that as each man was married he would deposit with the president of the club $50. The last man to fall a victim to Cupid's dart was to receive the total contributed by the other five, with the interest accumulated. Recently the an- nouncement was made that the prize would go to Nelson c. Metcalf, whose engagement became known few weeks ago. He will receive more than $500 as wedding gift. Roger Upton was the first of the six to be married. He was graduated in 1898, and was married the next year. Roland Hopkins, son of President Hopkins, of the Boston Ice Company, and a member of the class of 1899, was the second man to forsake the ranks of the bachelors. He was married in 1901. Then came Charles F, Whiting, the third victim of the matri- monial lottery He was a member of the class of 1897, and was married in 1902. Ben E. Burns, then a special stu dent at Harvard, was president of the club. He was the fourth. Roy s. Good rich, graduate of the academic depart ment in 1898 and of the Law School in 1901, was the fifth to take wife, He is now living in Phoenix, Arizona.

YORK AND WAGES IY ENGLAND

YORK AND WAGES IN ENGLAND.
 The annual report on wages and hours of labor in the United Kingdom during 1905 has been published by the Labor department of the British Board of Trade. It appears that the changes in wages reported during the year re- suited in a net reduction. The amount of the decrease, however, measured in weekly loss of wages, was considera- bly, smaller than in any of the four preceding years, and in the second half of the year rising tendency was shown, while in the first half of 1906 there was, on the whole, d decided up- ward movement, In the four years 1901-1904 reductions In the rates of wages of coal miners formed the pre- dominant factor. In 1905 rates Of wages In that industry continued to de- cline, but there was an important ad- vance in the cotton trade, and wages also rose in the pig iron and iron and steel manufacturing industries. Talk Ing into account the various dates at which the changes came into operation the net decrease in the years wages Dfl is roughly estimated at 9114,00O as compared with decrease of G93S 900 in 1904, e5oO,OOO in 1903, G23OO,o0O in 1902, and el,6OOOO0 in 1901. Of the SI9, 900 work people who received advances, 224OO0 were employed in the textile trades, and 37,O0o in the pig iron and iron and steel trades Of the O,OOO whose wages were reduced, 194, 900 were employed in the coal mining in- dustry, and 34,oOO in engineering and shipbunding. Preliminary figures for the first half of 1906 show a marked rise. there having been net increases in all groups of trades, with the ex- ception of building and quarrying. AL together, S43,S25 workpeople had their wages changed, of whom SS2,5 had a net increase amounting to 927,OS7 per week, and G,669 a net decrease of 9499 per week.

NOT DECETIFUL.

Men have been accused of misunder- standing, and even of slandering Woman, but it seems that Woman can do little in that line herself. The Ma tional Union of Women Workers in England has been discussing the ques- tion whether men or women have the higher sense of honor. One of the speakers-men were not allowed in the debate-accused her sex of a tendency to cheat at cards, to make false boasts concerning their home affairs, to caves drop, and to read other peoples letters. A representative of Newnham College held that the public expected a lower sense or honor in women than in men. But psychologists say that it Is not the sense of honor that is lacking in women in comparison with men. It is, rather, emotional equilibrium and self restraint. This is illustrated by the fact pAdL nysterla is far more common among women than among men. It has been recently shown that this nervous affection is simply morbid form of playfulness. It is not the expression of a desire to deceive, but like the imagin- ative games of children.
 Of course, Women do not desire to de- ceive. They know that they cannot de- ceive each other, and they are too we'll disposed toward men to want to deceive them.

A correspondent of the Montgomery Advertiser asks wherein the recent Mo- bile lynching was shame and disgrace to the State, and whether the editor would shoot q mad dog himself, or call in the police to do it. To this the Ad- Vertiser makes the following spirited reply: "The shame consists in the fact that we have well-established code of laws, an honest judiciary, and law off, cers, whose duty it is to enforce the law The mad dog loose is a common enemy liable to do untold damage The Mobile prisoners who were lynched were not free, but bound, strong and fast. They were in charge of the ofEi- cers of the law. The court was ready to try them, and they would surely have paid the penalty which attaches to their crime It was shame upon Mo- bile and the State that the law was not allowed to take it's regular course. Mob law is crime, and those who engage in mobs are criminals"
