Corn and cotton near the banks Of

Mr.. John Miekle's two mules and G

No one around Camden claims the

that it came from above Camden.

when the carriage came to stop, the

several strong pairs Of arms In spite
of his struggles and protests he was
dragged irresistiblv along. over what

Again and again the baptism was re-

AKNoTTY QUESTION.

Juries sometimes have strange and intricate problems to deal with. Th1 intrlcacies and sharp corners of the laws are often enough to puzzle those who are experts in it. which jurors are not supposed to be, as general rule. A case in point was before a Chicago jury some days ago. The wife of a man in only moderate circumstances purchased for herself a hat costing. fifty dollars and had the same charged to her husband. He refused to pay the bill. on the ground that it was an ex- travagant one under all the circum- stances and the milliner sued him. Putting it briefly the question up to the jury was about this: When the wife of a man in moderate circum- stances buys a $50 hat should the hus- band be held legally responsible for the bill? Or to put 1t in a little different shape. are $50 hats among the neces- saries of life which husband must pay for?
 That was the puzzle and, as in the case of the lady and the tiger" now

GEoRerA,s TROUBLES.

What's the matter with Georgia?
 It it not the custom of The Adver- tiser toSmix too proniscuo0sly in the, political affairs of neighboring State. but the present campaign in Georgia presents such an astonishing front that 1t calls for some comment if for noth- ing else because of it's bearing on Ala bama conditions. .-.
 Hereis . late Atlanta special:
 Governor Hoke Smith, Chairman S. c. McLendon--in fact the whole state administra tion-want it understood that no freight rates have been re- of them is going in discussing the famous port rate question or the two million dollars that was going to be saved Georgia farmers on freight cotton tolls alone.
 This is an astonishing fact in the face of the repeated declaration of Governor Smith on the stump in his first campaign that the one object of his life after becoming Governor was to reduce freight rates and save the poor farmer two million dollars, Now he and his lieutenants rush out to de- clare that they have not reduced freight rates. and the two million dol lar declaration in campaign times Is studiously overlooked.
 u will be recalled that the Alabama campaign was a reflex of what had been said and done in Georgia. Gov ernor Conner proposed to do the rail- roads lust what Governor Smith said he was going to do. And now after all the fuss in Georgia Governor Smith and his satellites are hurrying about saying they have done nothing.
 As a matter of fact a crowd of politicians hungry for office did in Georgia the same thing that was done in klabama-aroused a storm of popu- lar prejudice and gave pledges that were impossible of fulfillment.
 It may be said incidentally that Georgia seems to be suffering from cAse:gof disgust. the same al Alabama.
