TWO NARROW DEFEATS.

Samson, Louis XVI, Napoleon
Bonaparte and the duke of Yelling
ton were once engaged in discus
sion of the narrow margin between
victory and defeat.

high key bell on one and bell of

helm, a short time ago, got mixed
up with the wheels of an automobile
and went to dog paradise, and there
was mourning in the nursery. A
few days later the maid, before TAX
ing him out, put the collar on Rex,
but instead of jumping for the door,

maid, and when she tried to carry
him he growled and showed his teeth,
and the cry went through the house
that Rex is mad. 1t was discovered
that the dead dogs collar had been
put on by mistake, and when this
was removed he was himself again.

GOOD WORD FOR THE RAT.

Had it not been for wire roll
used in dressing the hair, Gertrude
Brown, the 14-year-old daughter of
p. S. Brown, would undoubtedly
have lost her life when she was
thrown from her horse the other aft
ernoon.
1t so happened that Miss Brown
had rolled her hair higher than
usual and so the wire rat received
the brunt of the fall. The injury
was directly under the roll and was
a jagged three-cornered hole. The
girl fell on the back of her head
upon loose stone in the street and
the wire roll covered with hair kept
the stone from fracturing the skull.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

In the magnificent palace, near
Paris, where lived the Victorien Sar-
dou, playwright, was a huge chest
that contained numberless little
boxes, duly labeled. In these card
board receptacles were notes, jotted
down at any time, in any place,
newspaper cuttings, epigrams and
aphorisms of his own-a chest of
ideas and plots. Sardou saw life
and all events as plots, and thought
that the richest and widest imagi-
nation could invent nothing so
thrilling, so fascinating and truly
dramatic as the incidents daily re-
corded in the newspapers.

SUCCEED AS LAWYERS.

Mrs. E. S. Mussey, one of the
women attorneys of Washington, is
said to be enjoying a good practice
in that city, and quite a number of
women in the profession are able to
make good living, some of them
practicing in the supreme court. 1t
is only comparatively few years
since women became barristers, and
yet they have already proved that in
certain lines of legal work they are
equals of men.

ENERGY OF FLAT WHEELS.

The enormous energy developed
by flat spot in wheel has been
estimated by Prof. Hancock of Pur-
due university. He finds that a flat
spot 21a inches long on 33-inch
wheel, carrying load of 5000
pounds at 80 miles per hour, will
deliver a blow to the rail of more
than 1,OOO-foot pounds. The same
flat wheel supporting a 55-ton inter-
urban car running at 60 miles per
hour, would deliver a blow with an
energy of 9,5OO-foot pounds. Such
a fiat spot would be produced by
wearing off less than 0.O5-inch of
metal.

Prohibition in BarnWeu.

The sheriff seized a quart of whis-
key from a colored man on the streets
of Barnwell Tuesday morning. Un-
der the present act, as we have heard
it interpreted by able lawyers, it is
against the law for any person to re-
ceive, accept, deliver, store or keep
in possession in this State any whis-
key or liquor of any kind which if
drunk to excess will produce intoxi-
cation" so we take this means of
warning all law-abiding citizens that
if they have any whiskey, wines or
anything of the kind in their posses
sion they had better pour it out at
once, for the sheriff and other peace
officers are under oath to enforce the
laws of the land, and by that oath
are in duty bound to seize intoxicants
wherever they can be found. A word
to the wise is sufficient. If you are
pulled, it will be your own fault. The
sheriff has started out to do his duty,
and, no doubt, the other peace Off
GERS will fall in line with him.

Jury Frees Donald Balm.

NJ. Balm was acquitted at 10:30 to-
night by jury in the Fulton county
superior court of the murder of E.
G. Williams.
Not in years has a criminal trial
in Georgia excited as much interest
as has the trial of Balm, prominent
insurance broker, who, last June
shot and killed Williams, another in
surance broker, with desk room in
the same Office. There had been i'll
feeling between Balm and Williams
for several months and it was claim
ed that several days. prior to the
shooting Williams, who was much
younger man than Balm, slapped the
latter's face.
On returning from a trip Of several
days. duration, Williams accused
Balm of having changed the wording
of note left by Williams on his
desk. Balm denied the charge, heat
ed words followed and when Will
liams advanced toward the older
man, Balm drew revolver and shot
him dead. The plea of self-defense
was sustained.
