AT THE BABY'S BEDTIME.
This is baby's bedtime;
My little one comes to me
In her snowy little neigh tgown,
And kneels down at my knee;
And i fancy a sweet child angel
Is for a time my guest,
As she says her little prayer over,
With her hands upon her breast.
"Now I lay me," she whispers
in a low* voice, "down to sleep;
pray the Lord"?and the blue eyes
Half close?"my soul to keep;
If I should die"?Oh! the shiver
At my heart!?"before I wake.
I pray the Lord"?and the eyelids
Droop low?"my soul to take."
Then I lift up the little one, clasping
Her close to my loving heart,
And give her warm, good-night kisses
Till the closed lids break apart
As the leaves do folding 5 flower;
And the violets of her eyes
Look up in their drowsy fashion,
And smile at me angel-wise.
"J)ood night," she whispers me softly
And sleepily, with a kiss
That lingers with me in slumber
And stirs my heart with bliss
As I think of the little one dreaming
With her head against my breast,
Till my sleep is full of rapture
As her dreaming is of rest!
HE WAS AN ONLY SON.
Christ's Compassion and Miracle For the
Widowed Mother.
Brooklyn, Aug. 19.?Rev, Dr. Tala
-a V
mage, wno is now ;n ivusiraim uu ma
louad the world tour, has selected as the
subject for today's sermon through the
press "An Only Son," the text choseu
being Luke vii, 12 15: ' Now when he
came nigh to the gate of the city, behold,
there was a dead man carried cut, the
only son of his mother, and she was a
widow, and much people of the city was
with her. And when the Lord ssw her
he had compassion on her and said unto
her, Weep not. And he came and touched
the bier, and they that bare him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say
unto thee arise. And he that was dead
sat up and began to speak. And he dedelivered
him to his mother."
The text calls us to sfand at the gate
of the city of Nain. The streets are arush
with business and gayety, and the
ear is deafened with the hammers of mechanism
and the wheels of traffic. Work
with its thousand arms and thousand
eyes and thousand feet, fills all the
street, when suddenly the crowd parts,
and a funeral passes. Between the
wheels of work and pleasure there comes
a long procession of mourning people.
Who is if? A trifle: says: "Oh, it's
nothing but a funeral. It may have
come up from the hospital of the city,
or the almshouse, or some low place of
the town," but not so says the serious
observer.
There are so many evidences of dire
bereavement that we know at the first
glance some one has been taken away
greatly beloved, and to cur Inquiry,
"Who is thi3 that is carried cut with so
many cfilcee of kindness and affection?"
reply comes, uThe onlv son of his mother,
and she a widow." Stand back and
let the procession pass cut! Hush ail the
voices of mirth and pleasure! Let every
head be uncovered! Weep with this
passing procession, and let it be told
through all the market places and bazaars
of Nam that in (iahlec today the
eepulcher hath gathered to itself "the
only son of his mother; and she a
widow."
There are two or three things that, in
my mind, give especial pathos to th'S
scene. The first is, he was a young man
that was being carried out. To the aged
death becomes beautiful. The old man
i? J -1 U _
DSIUS auu p?UU$ iUUUg WiC IU.MU nugic
ODce he bounded like the roe. From
the midst of immeicable ailments and
soirows he cries out, "How loDg, 0
Lord, how long?" Foot sore and hardly
bestead on the hot journey, he wants
to get home. He sits in the church and
sings with a tremulcu3 voice some tune
he sang 40 years ago, and longs to join
the better assemblage of the one hundred
and forty and four thousand, and
the thousands, of thousands who have
passed the flood. How sweetly he sleeps
the last sleep! Push back the white
locks lrom the winkled temples. They
will never ache again. Fold the hands
over the still hearr. They will never
toil again. Close gently the eyes. They
will never weep again.
But this man that I am speaking of
was a young man. He was just putting
on the armor oflife, and he was exulting
to think how his sturdy blow3 would ring
cut above the clangor of the battle. I
suppose he had a young man's hopes, a
Trnnnor man's amhitinna and a vnnnc
man's courage. He said: "If I live
many years, I vrill iced the hungry and
and clothe the naked. In this city ot
Nam, where there are so many bad
youDg men, I will be sober and honest
pure and magnanimous, and my mother
shall never be ashamed ol me." But
all these prospects are blasted m one
hour. There he passes lifeless in the
procession. Behold all that is left on
earth of the high hearted young man of
the city of Xain.
There is another thing that adds very
much to this scene, and that is be was
an enly son. However large the family
ilock may be, we never could think of
sparing one of the lambs. Though they
may ail bave their fauls, their
excellence that commend them
to the parental heart, and it
*4- TTrflvn v\ava?Y\rk4A??!l>cf /lamonrlfirl r.f PAH
1? TTCit uuiuauuvu v* jvu
today that you should yield up one of
a.very large family you would be confounded,
and you could not make a selection.
But this was an only son, around
whom gathered all the parental expectations.
How much care in his education!
How much caution in watching his habits!
He would carry down the name to
other times. He would have entire control
of the family property long after the
parents had gone to their la3t reward.
He would stand in society a thinker, a
worker, a philanthropist, a Christain.
No, no. It is all ended. Behold him
there. Breath is gone. Life is extinct.
The only son of his mother.
There was one other thing that added
to the pathos of this scene, and that was
X his mother was a widow. The main
" hops of a home had been broken, and
now he was come up to be the stall'.
The chief light of the household had
been extinguished, and this was ihe only
light left. I suppose she often said, looking
at him, ''There are only two of U3."
Oh, it is a grand thing to sae a young
man 3tep out in me ana say to ms mother:
"Don't be downhearted. I will,
as far as possible, take father's place,
and as long as I live you shall never
want anything." It is not always that
way. Sometimes the young people get
tired of the old people. They says they
are queer, that they have so many ailments,
and they sometimes wish them
out of the way. A ycung man and his
wife sat at the table, their little,
son on the tloor playing beneath
the table. The old father was very old,
and his hand shook, so they said, "You
afcall no'more sit with us at the table."
And so they gave him a place in the corner
where day by day he ate out of an
earthen bowl?every thing put into that
bowl. One day his hand trembled so
much he dropped it, and It broke, and
the son, seated at the elegant table in
raidiloor, said to his wife, "Now, we'll
get father a wooden bowl, and that he
can't break." So a wooden bowl was
obtained, and every day old grandfather
ate out of that, sitting in the corner.
()ne day, while the elegant young man
and his wife were seatered at their table,
with chashed silver and all the luxuries,
and their little sen sat upen the fl x>r,
they saw the lad whittling, and they
said, "My son, what are you doing there
with that knifr?" "Oi," paid he, "I?
I'm making a trough for rav father and
mother to eat out of when they get old!"
But this young man of the text was
not of that character. He did not belong
to that school. I can tell
it from the way they mourned
over him. He was to be the companion
of his mother. He was to be
his mother's protector. He would return
now ferae of the kindnesses he had
received in the days ci childhood and
boyhood. Ave, he would with his strong
hard uphold that lorm already enfeebled
with age. Will he do il? No. In one
hour all that promise of help and companionship
is gone. There is a world of
anguish iu that one short phrase, k,The
only son of his mother, and she a widow."
X jw, my fneodi, it was upon this
scene that Christ broke. He came in
without any introduction. He slopped
the procession. He had only two ut
terance to make?the one to the mourning
mother, the other to the dead. He
cried out to the mourning one: k*Weep
not," ard then touching the bier on
which the sod lav, he cried out:
kkYcung man, I say unto thee arise!
And he that was dead sat up."
I learn two or three things from this
subject, and first that Christ was a man.
You see how that sorrow played upon
all the chords cf his heart. I think we
forget this often. Christ was a man
more certainly than you are, for he was
~ ?vior> \Tn cailnr evftr slant In
2% j^iu tw u:au* v. , , ? x ship's
hammock more soundly than
Christ slept in that beat on Genaesarst.
In every nerve and muscle and bone and
liber ol his body, in every emotion and
affection of his heart, in every action
and decision of his mind he was a man.
He looked off upon the sea just as you
look off upon the waters. He wentiDto
Marsha's house ju3t as you go into a cot*
tage. He breathed hard when he was
tired just as y^u do when you are exhausted.
He felt alter sleeping out a
night in the storm jti3t like you do when
ycu have been exposed to a tempest. It
was just as humiliating* for him to beg
bread as it would be for you to become
a pauper. He felt iust as much insulted
by belDg sold for 30 pieces of silver as
you would if yeu were sold for the price
of a dog. From the crow n of the head
to the sole of the foot he was a man.
When the thorns were twisted for his
brow, they hurt him ju3t as much as
thev hurt your brow, if they were twisted
for it. He took not on him the nature
of angels; he took on him the seed of
Abraham. ';E:c?homo!"?behold the
mac!
Bat I muff al30 draw from this enbject
that he was a God. Suppose that
a man should attempt to break up a funeral
obsequy. He would bo se:z?d by
the law, he would be imprisoned, if he
were not actually slain by the mob before
the officers could secure him. If
Christ had been a mere mortal, would
ne rave a rigni ?,o cuius iu u[i;u m.j ?
precession? Would he have succeeded
in his interruption? He was more than
a man, for when he cried out, "I say
unto thee arise!,he that was dead sat up"
What excitement there must have been
thereabouts! The body had lain prostrate.
It had been mourned over with
agonizing tears, and yet now it begins
to move in the shroud, and to be flushed
with life, and at the command of Christ
he rise3 up aud looks into the faces of
the astonished spectators.
Oh, this was the work of a Cod. I
hear it in his voice. I see it in the tlash
oi his eye. I behold it in the snapping
of death's shackles. I see it in the tace
of the rising slumberer. I hear it in the
outcry cf all those who were spectators
of the scene. It. when I see my Lord
Jesu3 Christ mourning with the bereaved,
I put my hands on his shoulders aud.
say, '"My brother," now that I hear him
proclaim supernatural deliverances I
look up into his face and say with Thom
as, 1'My Lord and my God." Do you
not think he wa3 a God? A great many
people do not believe that, and they
compromise the matter, or they think
they compromise it. They say he was
a verv nood man, but he was not a God.
That is impossible. He was either a
God or a wretch and I will prove it. If
a man professes to be that which he is
not, what is he? He is a liar, an impostor,
a hypocrite. That is your unanimous
verdict. Now, Christ professed to
be a God. He said over and over again
h% was a God, took the attributes of aGod
and assumed the works and ofH;e of a
God. Dare you bow say he was not?
He was a God, or he was a wretch.
Choose ye.
Do you think I cannot prove by this
Bible that he wa3 a God? If you do not
believe this Bible, of course there is no
need of my talking to you. There is no
common data from which to start. Suppose
ycu do believe l'? Then I can
demonstrate that he was divine. I can
prove he was creator, John i, 3, "AH
things were made by him, and without
him was not anything made that was
made." lie wa3 eternal, neveiauou
xxli, 13, UI am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and the
last." I can prove that he was omnipotent,
Hebrews i, 10, "The heavens are
the work of thine hands." I can prove
that he was omniscient, John ii, 25,
"He knew what was in man." Oh yes,
heisaGod. He cleft the sea. He upheaved
the crystalline walls along which
the Isrealites marched. He planted the
mountains. He raises up governments
and casts down thrones and marches
across nations and across worlds and
across the universe, eternal, omnipotent
unhiadered and unabashed. That hand
that was nailed to the cross holds the
stars in a lea3h of love. That head that
dropped on the bosom m the fainting and
death shall make the world quake at its
nod. The voice that groaned in the last
pang shall swear before the trembiing
world that time shall be no longer. Oh
do not insult the common sense of the
race by telling us that this person was
only a man, in whose presence the paralytic
arm was thrust out well, and the
devils crouched, and the lepers dropped
their scales, and the tempests folded
their wings, and the boy's satchel of a
few loaves made a banquet tor 5,000,
and the sad proc&sion of ray text broke
uo in congratulation and h03ana!
Again, I learn from this subject that
Christ was a sympathizer. Mark you,
this was a city funeral. Ln the country,
when the bell tolls, they Know all about
it for five miles around,, and they know
what wa3 the matter with the man, how
old he was and what were his last experiences.
Thev know with what tempo
ra! prospects he has lei I his family.
There is no haste, there is no Indecency
in the obsequies. There is nothing done
as a mere matter of business. Even the
children come cut as the procession
passes and look sympathetic, and the
tree shadows seem to deepen, end the
brooks weep in sympathy a3 the procession
goes by. But, mark you, this that
I was speaking of wa3 a city funeral. 1q
great cities the cart jostles the hearse,
and there are mirth and gladness and
indiil'jrence as the weeping procession
gees by. In the city of Nain if was a
' ' ' - i i 1-1 .1 u ~
common tnmg 10 nave truuoie uuu uereavement
and deatb. Christ saw it every
day there. Perhaps that very hour
there were others beini,r carried out, but
this frequency of trouble did not harden
Christ's heart at all. lie stepped ris;ht
out, and he saw this mourner, aud he
had compassion on her, and he said,
"Wee]) not."
Xow, I have to tell you, oh, bruised
souls, anchthere are many everywhere?
have ycu ever looked over any^reat audience
and noticed how many shadows
of sorrow there are? I come to all such
and say, "Christ meets you, and he has
compassion on you, and he says, 'Weep
not."' Perhaps with some it is fin an
cial trouble. i:Oa," you say, "it is such
a silly thing for a man to cry over lo3t
money." It is? i
Suppose you had a large fortune, ami
all luxuries brcajnt to your table, and
your wardrobe was full, and your home
was beaut:lied by music and sculp ure c
and painting and thronged by the eie- c
gant and educated, and then some rough i
misfortune should strike you in the face 1
and trample your treasures aud taunt
vour children for their faded dress aud r
and send you into commercial circles aa }
underling where once you waved a seepterof
gold. Do you think you would
cry them? I think ^ycu would. But t
Christ comes and me'ets all such today. j
He sees all the strait8 in which you rave g
<1,.not tta a'i?prup5 ihft stpp.r (")' 1
UCCU IUIUO'.i A.A.V - x
that man who once was proud to wa'k
in your shad >w aud glad to get your t
Leip. He sees the protested note, the
uncanceled judgment, the foreclosed
mortgage, the heartbreaking exasperation,
and he sa>e: "Weep not. I own
the cattle on a thousand hills. I - ill
never let you starve. From my hand
the fowls of heaven peck all their fond.
And will I let you starve? Never?no,
oiy child, never."
Perhaps it may be a living home trcu
ble that you cannot speak about to your
be3t friend. It may be some domestic
unhappiueee. If may be an evil suspicion.
It may be the disgrace following
in the footsteps cl'a son that is wayward,
or a companion who 13 cruel, or a
father that will not do right, and for
years there may have been a vulture
striking its beak into the vitals of your
soul, and you sit there today feehng it
is worse than death. It is. It is worse
than death. Aud yet there is relief.
Though the night may be the blackest,
though the voices ot hell may tell you
to curse God and die, look up aud hear
the voice that accosted the woman ot
the text as it says, ' Weep not."
Earth hath no sorrow J
That heaven cannot cure. 1
1 learn again from all this that Christ *
is the master of the grave. Just outside t
the gale of the city Death and Christ
measured lances, and when the youDg j
man rose Death dropped. Nov we are \
sure of our resurrection. Oh, what a ^
scene it was when that young man came \
back! The mother never expected to f
hear him speak again. She never thought I
that he would kiss her again. How the *
tears started ana how her heart throb- c
bed a3 she said, "Oh, my son, my son,
my son!" And that scene is go'mg to be c
repeated. It is going to ba repeated 10;- i
00()time3. These broken family circles r
have got to ccma together. These ex- j.
tinguished household lights have got to r
be rekindled. There will be astir in the t
family lot in the cemetery, and there
will be a ru3h ialo lite at the command, i
"Ycuog man, I 3ay unto thee arise!" 2
As the child shakes off the dust of the c
tomb and come3 forth fresh and fair and t
beautiful, and you throw your arni3 f
around it and pres3 it to your heart, angel
to augel will repeat the story of *
Nain. "He delivered him to h!s mother."
Did you notice ihat passage in
the text as L read it? 11 He delivered
him to his mother." Oh, ye troubled r
litrpfl fn qpp
cUU.fi. \J.iy yo ^ uu uutu mvw vw
every prospect blasted, peeled, scattered, t
consumed! Wait a little. The seed l
time of tears will become the wheat har- c
vest. In a clime cut ol no wintry blast,
under a sky pa'.led by no hurtling tern- *
pest, and amid redeemed one* that weep I
not, that part not, that die not, friend
will come to friend, and kindred will join *
kindred, and the long procession that ^
marches the avenues of gold will lift up '
their palms as again and acain it is an- j
nounced that the same one who came to j
the relief of this woman of the text came
to the relief of many a maternal heart, (
and repeated the wonders of resurrcc f
tioo, and "delivered him to his mother/'
Oh, that will be tie harvest of the world.
That will be the coronation of princes.
That will be the Sabbath of eternity.
DISPENSARY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. ?
IC
I
at Aiken.
Aiken, Aug. 18.?Judge Aldrich this
afternoon and his decision in the case of
the State ex rel. George and holley vs.
the City Council of Aiken. The document
contain 3,000 words, citing numerous
autho.'ities. Judge Aldrich decides
that the Dispensary Act of 1893 is unconstitutional
in so far as it relates to
the sale of liquors by the State. The
decision i3 based on the Supreme Court
decision in the caBe of McColIough vs.
Browu under the Act of 1892. Regarding
the writ of prohibition applied for
by Dispenser George to restrain the city
from enterfering with the Dispensary,
the judge decides that as far a3 the Dis.
pensary Act relate to the granting of
licenses by municipalities it is constitu
tional. He declares the city has no ,
right to grant any licenses whatever |
to dealers in any malt or in- j
toxicating liquors. The deciswn is ]
regarded by the lawyers here i
as an anplification of the Supreme Court {
decison in Brown vs. McCollough. The E
decision deals entirely with these two j
poims, v.z: I
First. That the Slate has no right to ?
form a monopoly. (
Second. That the prohibition clause (
ot both Acts are valid, therefore that no (
person, corporation, municipality or any :
other power has the right to engace in }
or sanction the sale of iiouors in any j
form. I
Under his decision Ju lge Aldrich is i
subject to applications for injunctions y
to close the Dispensaries m his jurilie- j
tion. It is thought he will have several. 1
The Judge holds that the Act of 1893 ?
is only an amendment or explanation of j
the Act of 1892; that hi3 duty is painly
to declare the points involved in each
materially the same. Mayor C ha fee will
act solely on the advice of the city's at- *
torney. The points raised by Mr. W. {
(,). Davis that under its charter the city ?
had no right to issue liquor licenses, the j
coiei point in me states case was sustam- i
ed by his honor. The case was conducted (
by Assistant Attorney General Btrber, (
Mr. 0. C. Jordan and Mr. Davis. The 1
city was represented by Mayor C.iafee
Col. G. W. Croft and M. B. Woodward. 1
The Aiken case came up when Gover- '
nor Tillman reopened the D.spensaries, J
Mayor Chafee, acting under the decision '
of the Supreme Court declaring the law *
unconstitutional, attempted to prevent *
the Dispensary from opening. An in- j
iunction wa3 asked and ouc was giveu ,
temporarily. The final arguments and \
decision were rendered as above stated. (

of Twiggs county, came to Macon
,oday to buy a coffin for his 7-ye^r-old
son who was crushed to death by a huge
make late Thursday a'terrioon. The
3oy had gone to the field with his father
icd while his father was at work wanlered
off a short distance and climbed a
nuscadine vine as was his habit. On
Deing unable to find the boy when he
md finished his work about sundown
the father went to the house expecting
o find him there but was informed by
lis wife that the boy had not been home
since he left the house with his father,
feeling no uneasiness Wesley, knowing
the habit of hi# boy, went back to the
field which was on the edge cf a dense
swamp bordered with muscadine vine3.
ind began searching the vines were he

m3wer. After calling two or three
hmes and receiving no answer the father
shook the vine and to bis horror saw
what he had supposed to be one of the
Dranches of the vine that was supportais
son, begin to uncoil. Realizing that
lis son was in the coil of a huge snake
Wesley stood like rooted to the spot

make completely uncoiled and the boy
ell to the ground, a distance of nine cr
;en feet. Wesley picked the child up
md ran from under the vines to the
clearing. There his worst fears were resized
as the child was dead. Oa being
carried to the house and further exeamilation
made it was found that the child's
ireast had been crushed and that its
.ongue and eyes were protruding as
.hough it had been choked to death.
Wesley is of the opinion that the boy
was asleep when the snake coiled about

"TO THOSE WHC GOT LEFT.
\n Ac!ctrfsn < t Sympathy tn the Debated
C iCtlJftntes.
That feeling: of sympathy which
stirs every human heart at the sight
Df sad disappointment burns in my bosom
at present. Ileing somewhat subject
to disappointment of late years
myself, f know better how to extend
you my entire sympathy, and. if possible,
speak a word that might soothe
your bleeding hearts. Oh, how often
nave I wished that Time herself could

once more land me safely upon the happy
shore of innocent childhood, where
1 could for a little while put away the
^d realities of disappointed anticipation,
and revel in that happy fruition
which alone vl3its the human heart at
that age. Would that I could command
language so pleasant, so calm, and so
balsamic in its nature that ere the setting
of the sun, j oy, not. sadness, would
till your souls!
I thank God that I was bom in an
ige when I can be some consolation to
you who wear the fetters of disappointment.
Rut cheer up, fellow citizens;
the poet who wrote the immortal lines,
'There is no place like home," was sureiy
the mouth-piece of the human race.
l hat poet represented the whole world,
while those, your more fortunate breth- |
reD, can only represent a small portion
thereof. I tell you my dear, sad friends,
it is not the man who iills the highest
position in life that always does the
most good for his country, if your intentions
were good, and you aspired to
ollice for the purpose of benefitting
your depressed fello w countrymen, you
will certainly not cease to be a hero at
borne.
I tell you, fellow citizens, I have been
thinking about politics for some weeks
md if I tell you the truth, (an honest
confession is good for the soul,) I humbly
confess that I have had a "huge"
war with mv conscience. My conscience
brought up the question stated somewhat
like this: "Resolved, That all
candidates do not ran for the purpose
3f helping their fellow men, bat aim at
Ego pure and simple." Hut you know
men generally conquer their conscience;
so I can say in a round-about kind of
way that I have conquered mine. Jiut
I am deviating somewhat from my subject.
I came here to day to console
pou, and it seems, from the means I am
using, 1 shall fall short of the desired
end. I am aware at this moment, when
disappointment alone weighs upon your
mind and appeal to your reason is a
poor alternative for sympathy.
I tell you, gentlemeD, there is such a
host of you that my reason suggests
that I advi3e you to resort to the gentle
love and sympathy of your consorts m
this the day of tribulation. Oh, the
wisdom of Di7ine Providence. lie
knew there would be days in a man's
life when despondency would almost
drive him to despair, and so He made
woman, the impersonation of all that is
tender, affectionate, lovely, sympathe
tic. (Jo to her, my dear "friends, who
is ever ready to strew your path with
(lower?, the fragrance of which shall
reach the skies on high. And, you,
gentlemen, who have no wives in this
your day 01 trial, where is your hope?
I can offer you nothing, save remind
you of the folly of having entered this
campaign without one.
Again, it should he a source of great
consolation to you, when you think of
the fearful responsibility resting upon
the elect, to know that your fellow citizens
have been so kind as to relieve
you of such responsibility. Do you not
know that there will come divers difficultiss
and temptation so as to almost
deceive the elect themsedves? Why
must I tell you of these things? Is not
your observation sufficient for you?
Finally, I wish to tell you before I
clcse, that notwithstanding iny short
speech, I feel that some good has come
to us all from this meeting. I trust I
may have the pleasure of meeting you
all again on this side of the grave, when
these hot tears that now scorch your
troubled cheeks shall have been
wiped away, and when ycu shall
have been promoted by a grateful
people according to your meni3. 1013
with unbounded confidence that I believe
you will now return to your respective
habitations and work for the
good and prosperity of our people; always
trusting in 1'rovinence with the
greatest confidence inasmuch^as you
have now realized that his words are
true, '-Many are called, but few are
chosen." The above, which we clip
from the Edgefield Advertiser, we commend
to those candidates who "got
left" last Tuesday.
The Jut? Trust Again.
The National Cordage Company,
otherwise the Jute Jiagging Trust, is
playing a great game to keep the market
cornered for the present year and
pull the farmer for all it can on the bagging
needed thisseason. The trust has
been keeping only a small stock of bagging
on hand ip anticipation of the
tariff bill, which has taken off the duty.
It has been selling it, too, in small lots.
The supply now on hand is hardly sufficient
to take care of this years' cotton
crop, and it is too late under the present
conditions for the farmers and cotmn
mpn tn talk about imoortincr baer
ging from England. The facts in the
case from a Southern staudoint are that
many of the cotton factors and farmers
have laid in a supply of bagging with
which to handle a large part of their
crop, having bought it at a time when
the low freight rates from New York
and other Northern points were in
force, because they got it laid down
cheaper than they coild have done had
the regular freight rates remained in
force. They will not therefore, need a
full supply with which to handle their
crops, and the trust knows this. The
farmers and factors would not, therefore,
be so ready to begin importing.
'Ho 'i foot tf>n that nwinc tin flip fall
A. (J JO C? 1UVI, vwvj V > ? ? VMV
ing off in the demand the foreign mills
have been inactive, and if orders were
given now they could not be filled in
time for the crop. The bagging trust
appreciates this situation, and is going
to push the market for all it Is worth.
The Senate bill takes oil the duty of
2,22 cents, which was kept up by the
McKinley Act, and consequently makes
the bagging just that much cheaper.
As an example of the fact that the
trust is going to squeeze the farmer for
all it is worth, it may be staged that not
a week ago bagging was advanced
three-quarters of a cent, a yard wituin
four or five*days' time. The t rust realizeg-that
thi3 is its last chance. Tne
consequence is bagging is advancing in
price every day or two. Unless something
can be done the chances are that
bagging will go much higher than it
has ever been since the Alliance tackled
the Jute Trust. One of the managers
of the Cordage Company is quoted as
follows:
"J Jagging will be bagging before the
season i3 over and we expect to recoup
our Ios3eson this season and look to the
Republican to put us back under their
protecting wing in the future."
This not only bears cut the indications,
but shows they boast of the fact
that they will attempt to squeeze out
every dollar they can. 1 f the trust persist
in trying to force up the prices of
uite bagging the farmtis should use
sugar sacks or any other covering for
cotton In order to defeat it.
rst
.St. Paul, Aug. 22? I)ispatche3 from
several South Dakota points indicate
that the farmers have an unusually i
large number of hogs, biT, owing to
the failure of both the wheat and corn
crop, they have nothing to feed them
with. Tne porkers are not lit for the
market and their owners must get help
or allow them to starve by the thousands.
A plan of action being engineered
by County Comnrssioner Lecocq,
of Douglas county, meets with general
favor. The plan is that the county purchase
.10,000*bushels of wheat and distribute
it among the farmers, taking a
note and bill of sale of the hogs intended
to be fattened in payment for the
wheat.
THE INCOME TAX.
A sr?t?m?nt of Its Scope antl Provisions /
and Who it Will K-ach.
Ni:w Voiik, Aug. 22.?The income
tax provision in the Tariff bill begins
to operate on Jan. 1, 18U5, and contin- c
ues until Jan. 1. 11*00. The tax (2 per 5
cent.) i3 to be levied on all incomes j
above 84,000. It is to be paid not only
by all who reside within the country, on
income deiived from any source, t
but by citizens of the United States f
residing abroad, and by all residents of
foreign countries on incomes deiived 1
from property situated in the United a
states cr from business earned cu here.
The tax is on the income of the year 3
previous to that for which it is levied, i
Therefore the first tax will be levied on I
incomes received in 1894. s
There are two classes of Incomes re- d
cognized by the bill?the Incomes of y
individuals and the income ot corpora- a
tions. The taxable income of a corpo- 0
ration is all its incomes above its opera- j;
ting expense?, including the sums paid
chnrohnldora Thp lav nf 2 npr C.flnt.
is paid by the corporation. Therefore
that part of an individual's income E
which is derived from dividends on the c
shares of a corporation that has paid
the tax is deducted, on his return, from
his own taxable income.There
are exemptions allowed by
the bill in computing an individual's
income besides to $4,000. They are as
follows: The necessary expenses of
conducting a business, all interest paid
?r due within the year, local taxes,
losses in trade or from ires, storms or
shipwreck, not compensated for by insurance
or otherwise; worthless debts,
and income on which the tax has been
paid by corporations.
As to corporations, charitable, religious
and educational corporations are
exempted, as are States, counties and
municipalities, building and loan associations,
savings backs having no
stockholders, receiving no more than
$1,000 in a year from any one deposl
tor, and dividing all the yearly proiits
among the depositors except a contribution
to a 10 per cent, surplus. Mutual
companies, including insurance
companies are ail exempt.
Every person having an income of
$3,500 must report it to the collector of
internal revenue for his district, or his
Stnnfv Valonaa rn/>oifmm pnrnrt.
UVj^UVJl tJUA U1 1VO A. VW ? vv? AL wu? vv/ ^ V
rations are reported by the corporations t
to the collector of the recipient's dis
trict. The tax on the salaries of olli- a
cialsofthe United States Is to be de- i
ducted by the paymaster.
The collector may require a return to ;
be verified by oath. The collector or r
his deputy may increase the amount of
income reported if "he has reason to ,
believe that the same is underestimated."
If there is a neglect or refusal
to make a return, or if a return is (
fraudulent, the collector or his deputy '
shall himself make a list, by examina- 1
tion of the person taxed, or other evi- 1
dence. A ">0 per cent, penalty is to be 1
charged for neglect or refusal, and 10(1 f
per cent, penalty for fraud, a
A person may declare that he has (
not ?4,000 income liable to be assessed {
or that he has paid his income tax else- ]
where. If the'collector or deputy is
convinced that the declaration Is true
he may grant an exemption. If a return
is increased by the collector or
deputy t he person taxed may offer proof
that the increase is uDjust, but the ofTi cur
aril I nnf- ha nhliorprl f.n talrfi t.hp faPt.S
shown as conclusive, and it is within
his discretion to refuse relief. An ap- 1
peal from his decision may be taken to
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
It the corporation does not file its
statement a line of ?1,000 is to be levied
on it and 2 per cent, a month is to
be charged on the amount of tax due
imtil it is paid.
The tax is payable on July l3t in
each year. If it is not paid within
ten days after that a penalty of o per
cent, is to be charged, together with
interest at tne rate of 1 per cent, per
month? World.
Hok and Homloy Fnrmeis.
Tne Augusta Chronicle says "all the
indications are that the hog and hominy
farmers will be on top this year.
Tne outlook is for a short crop in
several Western States, aud when corn
is scarce the farmers cannot afford to
feed it plentifully to hogs. With corn
and meat scarce and high in the West,
Southern farmers who have raised a
plenty for their own use, and with
some to sell, will find themselves in a t
very enviable condition. In good times,
or hard times, the farmer who raises
his own provisions is better off than
the one who does not, but wheD there
comes a year in which Western farmers
have failed in their provision crops
then the commanding position of the
hog and hominy farmer of the South
is shown not only in his own independence
of bad crops elsewhere, but
in substantial protKs realised from the
sale of his extra corn and meat. Southern
farmers are learning wisdom, and
the lesson of a few years like the present
will leave no farm in the South
without. a sufficient supply of hog and
hominy for its own support."
Killed on the Crossing.
Paris, Tenn., Aug. 22?A terrible
accident happened on the Paducab,
Tennessee and Alabama railroad this
afternoon. As the north bound train

pie and live of the occupants met their c
death. The unfortunate party was i
cro33iog the track as the train came r
thundering down upon them, and the ^
horse3 became alarmed at the whistle j
which was sounded for the crossing
and-ran into the cattle guard. The
vehicle could Dot be extricated before ?
the locamotive had crushed into them. 8
The killed are: Misses .Jennie and 1
Lillie Kay, aged 18 and 20, daughters of y
J. T. Kay, his son, Tobe Kay, and twu r
young ladies, Misss3 ilammon. A t

Care of Decldaous Testh.
The child receives its iirst temporary
tooth about the (ifth month alter
birth, the dentition being completed at *
the age of two years. It has been often ?
said that the nurse cannot be too care- a
ful that these teeth are cleaned with a t
soft brush and warm water. The child c
usually retains these teeth until the c
eruption of the peranent set, the lirst i
permanent tooth appearing about the \
sixth year. The deciduous teeth should 3
be carefully watched, and when a tooth ^
shows decay consult your dentist, and .
have it filled. At tins stage the Idling
is not expensive, and will save the
child much pain and trouble from an
aching tooth. Tne early extraction of
the deciduous teeth often causes the
irregularities of the perament set.
They should be retained until the j iw
has fully expanded to receive the peranient
teeth. Teach the child the necessity
of keeping: the teeth clean and
pure. The early use of the toothbrush
will establish a habit that will, in after
years, be considered a necessity to
health and personal cleanliness.
Uletan Awtal
Cuede, Col., Aug. 21? Four miners
in the Amethist mine this morning
were literally bruised, burned and boiled
to death. They were Tom Kversol
and Hugh Fay of Colorado, Archie McDowell
of Halifax, X. S, and Charles
l'rocfor of Fottawattomie, Kis , the
latter three being single mea. The
shaft house caught lire from a can lle at
') a. m., and so great was the heat that
the wire cable, holding the skip, melted,
and the huge iron cage, heated to a red
heat, fell to the bottom of the siafr,
carrying with it the four men above
named, who were on the lad lers. It
will take a day or two to recover the
bodies. Tie lo.ei on the mills and
machinery will be about 320,000. The
damage to the mine property cannot
yet be determined. The Amethyst was
owned by Senator Wolcott, I). II. Moffatt
and other Denver men.
