Hon. L. G. Williams of Athens, one
of the County Commissioners, was in

for the Probate Office and for the Law
Library at the courthouse. The ca
pacity for the storage of books and
documents In the Probate Office will
be increased fifty per cent by these
additional steel book shelves and Ill
ing cases. Two hundred and fifty feet
of new shelving will be added TO the
Law Library, enough for 1900 volumes,
all that are likely to be added for
fifteen years. A new steel table,
twelve feet in length, was also pur-
chased for the Library room.

Taxing Old Maids.

Kate Epson Clark CALAMITY rushes TO the
defense OF, old maids and roundly castigates
the editors who insist they should be
elassed with inoorrigible bachelors for
taxing purposes. Efforts OF various legis-
lators to penalize bachelors for neglect Of
duty to the home and the state provoked
a sharp protest against discrimination
from editorial admirers OF the square deal.
who insist with logical force that II bache-
lOrs must pay for unrestricted liberty so
also should spinstsrs, who are presumed to
be responsible for the bachelors forlorn
state. Miss Clark holds that the case Of
bachelors and old maids is different and
argues her point In this way:
Now. the case of the old bachelor is
utterly different from that OF the old
heart upon any particular person "a foolish
thing, by the way, until she Is sure OF
HIND. and he does not reciprocate the
attachment. or dies. she usually ceases to
think OF love and marriage. She sets 70
work in some direction which interests
her. and becomes. as the phrase goes,
welded to her art" II she sees another
man whom she THINKS she might love, she
might, under other circumstances, devote
herself 10 the business of being agreea BILE
TO him, but the remembrance Of the past
and her natural modesty make her choke
down any such thought.
The bachelor. on the other hand, has
no such excuses. The remembranee OF
the past does not paralyze him, nor does
his mOdesty dampen his courage. He can
toss out a casual box OF candy or a bou-
duet OF violets, or an invitation TO the
theater. and thus feel his way" II he
is well received. it Is astonishing how
quickly the touch OF love relights in his
manly breast.
It Is uncertain. too. what sort OF a man
