Barrels.

A barrel Is not always n barrel. for, according to Massachusetts judge, the matter of state lines has consider able to do with it. Some time since Boston man purchased 200 barrels of sweet potatoes in the state of Mary land. When tho sweet potatoes arriv- ed in Boston the purchaser sold one barrel just as 1t had come from Mary land, but it appears that the barrel weighed only 129 pounds instead of 10 pounds. the legal weight in Massaohu- setts. In that state when a person buys barrel of potatoes the weight must be not less than 150 pounds. The Massachusetts. courts ruled that the purchaser of the Maryland sweet no- tatoes violated the law when he sold the barrel that was underweight, nl- though the barrel was legal one In Maryland. Therefore a barrel is not barrel in Massachusetts when it weighs less than 150 pounds.-Utica Press.

HE CALLED HER DOWN.

A chaice bit of gossip has heen going
the rounds tor the past week. The
principal parties connected with the
affair are we'll known, which makes the
story ali the more sensational. A hus-
band and wife are mixed up in the
scandal, and what makes it doubly
startling is the fact that each of them
has always had the entire respect OF the
community. AS a matter of fact the
bomb exploded at the home of this
couple at the very moment at which
there had arrived at their house party
twenty or twenty-five of our best people,
who had gone there to surprise the
couple on their wedding anniversary.
Neither of the principals expected COM
pany. The astonishnent of the visitors
may be imagined when they heard the
husband call his wife down. He made
no bones of it. 1t was done openly and
without even a hint of apology to the
guests. The shocking part of it is the
fact that everyone, even the closest
friends of the couple, had no idea but
that their home life was ideal. Never
theless- and we have the best of fauth orily
for the story-when the company arrived
they we're met at the door by the as
tonished husband. AS soon as the firs,
greetings were over he said "My wife
is up stairs, will call her down" And
he did.

MARION v. RELY
DELIVERS ADDRESS

Introduced by Hon. Jos. O. Mauffray,
! Judge Marion w. Reilly, Of Matches
candidate for Governor. addressed a
large and representative audience at
the courthouse Wednesday night, and
made splendid impression.
He spoke Tor nearly three hours. and
devoted much time In discussing his op-
ponent, Ii Governor Bllbo.
Touching on other matters involved
in the campaign, he stated be was in
favor OF state reformatory, believing
it to be, wrong for the state to cast
youthful infractors OF the Law into the
penitentlary with hardened criminals.
He advocated the selling Of the state
penal farms, retaining only enough
land to produce wha. will be needed to
supply the state penitentiary. That he
did not believe that any commodity
produced by convict labor ought to
come in competition with private enter
prises. He believes the state could
realize handsome pay yrnents Of money
for its properties the same being worth
over So. Zoo, ,OO0, 90 which could be utiliz-
ed in the building OF good roads. He
said the farms could be sold in small
tracts on easy sums and in this manner
encourage farming as it is done in
France, England. and other countries
where most liberal Inducements are
offered to tillers OF the soil.
M. Reilly strongly advocated the
building of good roads. He wac loud
in his praise of the roads 10 this section.
He quoted a letter from the Secretary
of State of Georgia showing that land
values had increased 400 per cent by the
building of good roads. His idsa would
be to employ state convict labor on the
roads.
He favored constitutional conven-
tion as a means of effecting certain
changes demanded for the good OF the
public. Among these being reappor-
tionment of the school funds and re-
formation of the present criminal laws.
South Mississippi is not getting its
share of the school funds under the ex-
listing mode Of distribution
He is firm in his stand on the prohibi-
tion question. He outlined his views
on this question in very eloquent
manner, and while not protesting to be
hidehound himself, be realized the
gravity OF the question IElo.a the stand
point OF humanity and believed that
those who esteemed 6he privilege OF
taking a toddy when they cared to do
SO ought to be willing to forego this
pleasure when it is considered the
incalculable injury wreaded on the
human family by the drink habit.

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Emer- son Is Put on Record as
 Having Spoken.

It was Emerson who said, An ac- ceptance of the sentiment of love throughout Christendom for season, would bring the felon and the outcast to our side in tears, with the devotion of his faculties to our service. Love would put a new face on this weary old world, in which we dwell as pa gans and enemies too long, and it would warm the heart to see how fast the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the impotence of armies and navies and lines of defense, would be superseded by this unarmed child" Alas that the sentiment has not been accepted, but instead the world and the indi- vidual have been laying their plans, and directing their action, by a calcu- lation of chances which, of course, can be no bigger than the human mind that does the calculating. That love has not been tried is proved by the collapse of commercial civili zation, but the things of commerce and of calculation perish, while the sentiment of love endures, because il is of God, and being of God, is sure in the end to triumph Leader.

Yes, ma'am,' an swered the maid Then keep waving your handkerchief want to finish this novel" At the same time, in camp an officer from an adjoining company stepped up to the captain.
