Warrant Philosophy.

From the Albany Journal.
 Father Time cannot be credited with gallantry. He always tells on a woman
 There Is one game in which there is al ways more or less cheating, and that IS matrimony.
 Many a woman in the handicap Of life, balks at the quarter and throws the race.
 The faintest whisper of a pretty girl can be heard further than the bugle call of duty.
 A woman has her uses in this world, even if 1t amounts to merely taking the conceit out of man.
 Married women wouldn't have anybody to envy if there were no old maids.

WATERWORKS LIVE TOPIC IN BESSEMER Shall Purchase Be Made Now
 or Later? CANDIDATES COMING OUT An immense Crowd of Negroes Gathers To Hear Evidence In Case Where Young Wife Deserts Aged
 Supporter.

Bessemer, March 7.-(Special.) .)-Shall the city purchase the waterworks now, when they can, it is supposed, procure 1t at a nominal price, or shall they wait while longer and pay more for it? That ques- tion 1t is admitted on all sides is a much mooted one, and 1t Is thought that some definite action will be taken by the city- in this connection within the very near future.
 This subject is most familiar one to nearly all of the citizens, or at least those that take any interest in the welfare Of the city. It has been brought up on numerous occasions. It has been pointed out by a number of persons that in order to gain control of the plant the city would be compelled to. buy 1t on per cert basis. AS a matter of fact this would indicate on the face of it that the city would be asked to pay quite high price in order to get possession of 1t, but on the other hand when the matter is gone into thoroughly 1t can readily be seen that even If the city of Bessemer was compelled to pay as much as per cent to nande the waterworks in this city to handle the water works in this city to suit themselves and in addition after the first year or two the city could count on running the plant at a profit.
 As an instance of this 1t must be taken into consideration that every time a house is built or at least every time con- nection is installed 1t simply means that the value of the, holdings of the Water Works company advance a certain per cent, in other words if the city should de- eide to make the purchase they would simply make the profit every time a house is erected, instead of allowing the Water Works company to reap the benefits.
 During the last several years there. have been erected in this city on an aver age of from 15O to 200 houses per year. In this case every time house is erected the city will simply receive about $20 per year for it, or at least the amount that will have to be paid by the property own CTS will average that much. The state and county taxes must also be taken into consideration, and as everyone knows if the city makes the purchase 1t would save about $16o0 per year on this item alone inasmuch as cities are not required to pay taxes on their property.

pot, the earth all shaken off, and then new soil carefully packed about the roots, the plant replaced in the pot, and the earth not too plentifully lwatered again for two or three days. The soil may have been poisoned by gas or fumes from a lamp in the greenhouses, and in the new, healthy earth it may take on new lease of life The experiment'is certainly worth while trying.
