AS WELL LEGALIZE CRIME.
In summing up, Judge Altman said
In view of these holdings, based as
they certainly are on good reason and
sound common sense, it must be held
that the state cannot, under the guise
OF a license, delegate to the saloon
business legal existence, because to
hold that it can is to hold that the
state may sell and delegate the right
to make widows and orphans, the
right to break up homes. the right to
create misery and crime, the right
to make murderers. the right to
produce idiots and lunatics, the right
to fill orphanages. poorhouses, insane
asylums, jails and penitentiaries, and
shO atshe w AuAhish SuOJoNts tut
gallows.
1t goes without saying that this is
a most remarkable and far reaching
decision. If it is sustained by the
higher courts, it will presently be pos
possible to eradicate the saloon with
out resources to the slower methods
of local option and prohibitory legis-
lation. Moreover. it is difficult to
see how the decision can Justly fail
Of confirmation in the higher courts,
since the United States Supreme
Court has already declared that the
privilege of selling liquor is not au
inherent right of an American citizen.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
only contention remaining to be es-
tablished is that the effect of the
saloon is to destroy the public health,
the public morals. and the bublic
safety"-a fact certainly susceptible

The scepter is welded in the Sharpe's

being indisposed for sometime, her
sister, Miss Ollie Mae, is teaching for
her. The historic Boynton school is
still without a teacher.

: New York, Nov. 2O.-Mrs. Lottie
Hitchcock shot and killed her husband,
Robert, today, and turning the revol-
yer on herself inflicted wounds from
which she can not recover. The young
woman was prompted to her act by
stories that neighmors had told her
husband she had been seen in the com

her last night and she retorted; ~
will prove to you in the morning that
I am not the woman the gossips say I
am.''
Mrs. Hitchcock arose before her hus-
band and walking quietly to dresser,
secured a pistol, which she loaded.
Crawling on her knees to the bed
where her husband lay asleep, she
fired two shots through his heart.
He died without uttering word. She
then returned to the dresser, extracted
box of cartridges, coolly reloaded
the weapon, and then fired three shots
into her left side above the heart and
fourth into her head.

SOUTHERN CROP CONDITIONS.
The Present Outlook for Cotton Crop
and Some Suggestions.

From what We have seen and can
gather from reports, the prospects for
large crop of cotton is anything but
flattering. The cold, wet weather has
prevented many from finishing their
planting until the latter part of May,
and majority report bad stands and
much to be planted over. Some Sec
tons are experiencing a difficulty in
getting seed for second planting.
Conditions are bad enough in Georgia.
but they seem to be worse in Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
where the rain seems to have exceed
ed the fall in Georgia. Texas, too, is
far from her normal condition. 1t was
very dry until April, and since that
very wet and cold, as with us. So the
prospects now do not point to crop
above the normal; hence we can pre-
dict good prices for our staple this
fall. The imperfect stands, the amount
of grass and the scarcity of labor, all
will prevent very many from securing
good yield, but for the man who hus-
ties and works his crop well and
makes a good yield there is GER
tainty of remunerative prices ahead,
and hence sure reward for his en-
ergy and skill. Do not lose any time
in bemoaning these unfavorable
weather conditions, but bend every
energy to working your crop well and
pushing the cotton you have to the
very best advantage. We think many
have planted over, when it would have
been much better to have replanted.
AS rule the early cotton makes the
most, and where there is anything like
half stand we would work it and put
more seed in the missing places.

1t is an old asying that "a dry Mag
makes good CROP" This. of course,
applies to our two principal staples,
cotton and corn, and is generally true
by reason of the opportunity afforded
to control the grass and sd give all
young plants the clear right OF way
and to get started, but there are other
crops for which a dry May are not so
beneficial. Small grain. for instance,
for dry May generally means a wet
June, and June does not generally get
wet until after wheat and oats are
stacked. and it does generally get wet
before they can be housed.

Girls, School. In France.

twenty-fifth anniversary of the open

were established In France through
