IN PRAISE OF THE ONION
All Countries and All Peoples Hoid " in High Regard for Its
 Many Virtues.

The onion need have no fears. Its position is secure. Born of the lily family, probably in Asia in the far off centuries, 1t grows all over the world. It was well known to the an- cient Greeks and Romans. It IS mentioned in ancient Egyptian writ ings and in the Pentateuch.
 When the Israelites in the wilder ness grew weary of mamma they sighed for the good things they had left behind and they distressed Moses when they lifted their voices in weeping and cried: "We remem- Der the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all besides this mama before our eyes"
 It was not so much the feshpots of Egypt that they sighed for as for the succulent leek, the pungent onion, the odorous garlic. The onion is the Welsh national emblem. In Spain and Italy garlic, which IS merely condensed onion, enters into nearly all dishes of both the rich and poor. The onion thrives In Siberia and in Honduras.
 It fourishes on the Nile and on the Mississippi. It was a favorlte with the Ptolemies of ancient Egypt and it finds favor with the highest and the lowest in Macon and Char lotte. The Lady of Shalott died of a broken heart because she had to give up either onions or her lover.
 Her lover was one of those fin nicky fellows who objected to the odor of the onions and she would not give up the shalott. The onion is all right. It never seeks to conceal itself. It is about the only thing in hash in which one can have confi- dence.

Minority Report.


 Senator Otis T, winco of the Joint Capitol Investigating Committee submitted d minority report After going into details in regard to character of stone, thickness of stone. Iron work left out. and basement floor contract the report closes follows:
 'I cannot agree with the majority in all the recommendations they make. I concur In the opinion that expert superintendent of con struction should be employed to be present at all times to that the work is carried out I rccording to contract, instead of leaving 1t t. tho commissioners who know nothing of tho technicality of construction, to superintcnd the construction by occasional visits to the city. Ina smuch as our expert is of the opinion that the building cannot be completed within the next two years. l am opposed to any additional appropriation to be paid by tax upon the people. If any additional appropriation Is made, 1t should be kept out of the hands of Caldwell I5 Drake. In fact, think the state has grounds upon which to abroCate their contract, and should do so, and let the contract for the completion to another contractor.
 ''In view of Architect Manns action with reference to altering the specifications, and the zeal which apparently he has displayed which he should represent. l would recomme nd that his services be dispensed with.
 ''While I hope that the materials used are of that character that will give to the state building of which her citizens will be proud and while I further believe that the factor of safety as recognized by architects, renders the building safe, still I cannot refrain from saying that the building Is disappointment to mo. and fear that time will not improve its apncarance. l am therefore of the opinion that in many material features the contract has not been complied with. and thereby the state has been defrauded of thousands of dollars.

OLD-FASHiONED FLOWERS.

Old-fashioned flowers are very popular again. The poppy was grown extensively last season and this seasons catalogues are enthu- siastic over the beauty and brilliancy of these long neglected flowers. The chief fault to find with them is that the texture of the petals of most va rieties are so delicate that they are easily injured and are not as useful for cut flowers az other varieties.
 But for making a brilliant bed or corner in the garden they are unex- celled by any other flower.

idea in the Southern States.
In the North, except H. Indiana,

bund, if not dead; but in the South
it Is sweeping onward with re-
lentless and irresistible force,
gaining new converts and increas-
ing in power every year.
Seven-eighths OF the territory
of the Southern States is to day
dry, and it is believed that a
majority of the population favors
national prohibition. The Anti
Saloon League is we'll organized IN
most of the States, and Is pursu-
ing a quiet, determined, relent.
less opposition to the liquor busi-
ness.
To day there are fewer saloons
in the thirteen Southern States
than in Greater New York, and
only a few more than in the city
of Chicago. In New York there
are $4,000 places where liquor is
sold, in Chicago $4,000, ana IN the
entire South only $4,000. In New
YORK State the estimated pcpu-
lation Ill 1905 was 8,160,000, and
the Government issued in the
State that year 34,080 especial
tax stamps" to persons desiring
to engage in tho manufacture and
sale of lIcuor. The thirteen
Southern States, with 23, 5000
people, secured IN 1906 less than
10000 stamps.
President Marion e Taylor, of
the National Liquor Dealers Con.
ventlon, held in June at Atlantic
City, In calling attention to the
assaults made by Prohibitionlsts
on the liquor business, especially
in the SLuth, SAID: sour only re.
course now is to save our business.
Unless we work with energy and
determination to stop this tidal
wave, every State in the South
will be closed against u.s."
Measures designed to restrict
or absolutely prohibit the maniac
ture and sale of alcoholic beverage
have been introduced since the
first of the year in the legislator
es of half dozen Southern states,
and in almost every instance have
resulted IN new victories for the
prohibition cause.

Good Manners Are More Than Mere PO-

One of the greatest attractions
that a glrl can have Is good man

Every girl would like to be pretty
and the majority are, in one way
or another, out the most beauti
tul IS made more so if she is
sweet and gentle in manner, and
the homeliest girl becomes
charming by cuItivaIng the art
Of how toplease.
1t is precisely this that good
manners achieve. They are far
more than simply dong the prop
er thing says the New York Even
ing Telegram. When a young
girl steps aside to let an older
woman go through a door first
she has not merely been polite,
but IN standing aside she has
shown a defereucc to the other
which the older will not resent,
be she 30 or 60 years.
YOu will notice that a kind
