tumorous ^Department. A Damper to Genius.?A North Georgia farmer, who was possessed of some means, entered the office of his county paper and asked for the editor. The farmer was accompanied by his son, a lanky youth of 17 years?and as soou as the editor, who was in his secret sanctum, was informed that his visitors were not collectors, he came forward and shook hands. "I came to get some information," explained the farmer. "Certainly" said the editor, "and you came to the right place. Be seated." The farmer sat on the end of the table, while the son sat on the floor. "This bov o' mine." he said, "wants to go into the literary business, an' 1 thought you'd know whether there was any money in it or not. It's a . good business?ain't it?" "Why?yes," said the editor, after some little hesitation. "I've been iu it myself for 15 years, and see what I've got to." The farmer eyed him from bead to foot, glanced around the poorly furnished office, surveyed the editor once more, then, turning to his son, who was still on the floor, said : "Yo' git up, John, an' go home, an' go back ter plowin'."?Atlanta Constitution. The Young Heir's Knowledge.? She invited him to stop to supper, and he was trying to appear easy and unconcerned, while she was on her prettiest behavior.

"Why not, my son?" inquired the father, curiously, while John, in his surprise, swallowed a bit of toasted crust and nearly cut his throat open. "'Cause he don't," explaiued the heir, in an artful manner; "I heard him tell Mary last night " "You keep still," interrupted Mary, in a hysterical manner, while the young man caught his breath in dismay. "I heard him say," persisted the heir, with dreadful eagerness, "that she was so sweet that he shouldn't never use no sugar any more?an' then he kissed her, an' I said I'd tell, an' Mary, she " The young heir was lifted out of the room by his ear, and the supper was finished in moody silence.?Saturday Night.

The infant class teacher talked to the children ahout the death of Stephen. The next day Mrs. Bryan went calling, and was accompanied by her little daughter. After several calls had been made, the child inquired : "Mamma, where are we going next ?" "To see Mrs. Stevens," the mothei replied. "Oh, I am so glad that we are going to see poor Mrs. Stevens," the little girl said in a sympathetic tone. "Aud why do you say poor Mrs Stevens?" "Why, mamma, don't you know that they stoned Mr. Steven to death ?'

" finished Stephen, coming to the rescue. "Are you?" said the bishop. "I hope you will invite me in to share. I know what Felicia's cooking is." "Bishop, dear bishop." said Felicia, and she did not pretend to hide her happiness, "indeed you shall always be the most honored gu est Are yon glad ?'' "Yes. I am." replied the bishop, interpreting Felicia's words as she wished. Then he pansed a moment and said gently, "God bless yon bothl" and went his way. with a tear in his eye and a prayer in his heart, and left them to their joy Yes; shall not the same divine power of love that belongs to earth be lived and snng by the disciples of the man of sorrows and the bnrden bearer of sins 1 Yea, verily I And this man and woman shall walk hand in hand throngh this great desert of human woe in this city, strengthening each other, growing more loving with the experience of the world's sorrows, walking in his steps even closer yet becanse of this love, bringing added blessings to thousands of wretched creatures because they are to have a home of their own to share with the homeless. "For this cause," said our Lord Jesus Christ, "shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife." and Felicia and Stephen, following the Master, love him with deeper, truer service and devotion becanse of the earthly affection which heaven itself sanctions with its solemn blessing. Now, it was a little after the love story of the settlement became a part of its glory that Henry Maxwell of Raymond came to Chicago with Rachel Winslow and Virginia Page and Rollin and Alexander Powers and President Marsh, and the occasion was a remarkable gathering at the hall of the settlement. arranged by the bishop and Dr Bruce, who had finally persuaded Mr. Maxwell and his fellow disciples of Raymond to come on to be present at this meeting.

"What Would Jesus.Do?" And Her^y Maxwell, as for the first time he stepped under the doorway, was touched with a deeper emotion than he had felt in a long time as he thought of the first time that question had come to him in the piteous appeal of the shabby young man who had appeared in the First church of Raymond at the morning service. Was his great desire for Christian fellowship going to be granted? Would the movement begun in Raymond actually spread over the country? He had come to Chicago with his friends partly to see if the answer to that question would be found in the heart of the great city life. In a few minutes he would face the people He had grown very strong and calm since he first spoke with trembling to that company of workingmen in the railroad shops, but now. as then, he breathed a deeper prayer for help Then he went in. and with the bishop and the rest of the disciples he experienced one of the great and important events of the earthly life. Somehow he felt as if this meeting would indicate something of an answer to his constant query. "What would Jesus do?" and tonight as he looked into the faces of men and women who had for years been strangers and enemies to the church his heart cried out. "0 my Master, teach thy church how to follow thy steps better 1" Is that prayer of Henry Maxwell's to be answered? Will the church in the city respond to the call to follow him ? Will it choose to walk in his steps of pain and suffering? And still over all the city broods the Spirit.

At a meeting of the Southern Cotton Spinners' Association in Charlotte last Thursday, between 50 and 60 mills being represented, the following preamble and resolutions, offered by D. A. Thompkins and seconded by R. B. Miller, were unanimously adopted : Whereas the increasing manufacturing interests of the United States from the nine billions dollars value in 1890 to twenty billion (estimated) in 1900, makes it plain that our domestic markets can no longer take all our manufactured products, and Whereas the Southern cotton manufacturing interests alone have increased from the product in 1890 of one and one-half million spindles to five million (estimated) in 1900, and the development of trade for our surplus American made cotton goods has been largely in China and other Oriental countries; therefore, be it Resolved, that we urge upon the president of the United States and our senators and representatives in congress the following measures: 1. The preservation of the integrity of the Chinese empire, of all of our treaty rights with that empire and the maintainance of an open door policy in China with all nations. 2. Vigorous prosecution of the Philippine war to a conclusion and the restoration of order in that territory by our government.. 3 Construction, without delay, of an isthmian ship canal. 4. Construction, of a cable from the Pacific coast to Hawaii, Japan, China, the Philippines and oilier Oriental points, Resolved, That we consider that a large degree of the importance of the last three items lies in the value of these measures in accomplishing the first item and in protecting our trade in China and other eastern countries. Resolved, That wo recommend, if it be necessary, the co-operation of our government with the governments of lOngland and Japan to preserve and protect a common trade interest and treaty rights for unrestricted commerce in China ami other eastern countries. Resolved, That we recommend to cou gress such revision of our navigation laws as will foster the development of our merchant marine service to an extent to handle our expanding foreign commerce. Resolved, That we recommend to congress such increase of our navy as will make it fully adequate to protect our commerce in all stas and all parts of the world. Resolved, That printed copies of thase resolutions be sent to the president of the United States and to our senators and representatives in congress and to the press. | IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. : i Summary of the News That In Heine Published by Exchanged. , CHESTER-The Lantern, Novem- ; ber 3: Miss Clara Sledge will leave I tomorrow morning for Bowling Green, York county, to take churge of a school.

THE following is a copy of a circular | letter which is being sent out by one of the largest mercantile establisinents of the great northwest to their customers throughout the country on the importance of keeping insured against loss by fire: Dear Sir : During the past few months the losses sustained by merchants, through fires, in that part of the country tributary to the St. Louis market, have been so unusually large and disastrous as to suggest to us the advisability of addressing our customers upon the IMPORTANCE of keeping fully insured at all times. Within the past few weeks four of our own customers have 1 lost their stocks and buildings entire, without insurance, or so nearly so, that the amount carried was totally inadequate to the risk assumed, and in two or three instances, when the fire came, it was found that policies for considerable jj amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely make a second mistake of this kind, but the commonest feature of the first, is the wiping out of the results of years of labor and thrift and leaving those who . commit the folly of railing to insure, in a position whereby they have to face the world in a condition far worse than when commercial life was first begun. Think of the possibilities of having the 4*? :?' OA ?t an mi a (' laKnr utuav jriilia HI +.U JTaiJJ w? ICU/WI onvpw J within a few minutes, with no other legacy than smoke and ashfs and vain regrets for what might have been prevented by a little foresight! To the wideawake, conservative business man, the expense incident to keeping his goods fully insured is just as legitimate and necessary as that of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire. We may escape the consequences of failure to insure for five, ten or twenty years, but we are just as certain to be brought face to face with it, sooner or 1 later, as we stay in business; therefore, J we say to you, if you are not now in- ( sured, attend to it before the sun goes down ! With kindly assurances of regard for r our mutual interests, we are, Very sincerely, your friends, ? ii I represent, a number of the lending " tire insurance companies of the world and c Call CIMIItJ 111> l<> y I'll l rtiuiiniicuin. fl I J.
