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. ( ?Register. c Three Drowaed. Raton Rouge, Lt., Aug. 23.?News reached the city this morning of a distressing accident near Raton Rouge, which resulted in the death of three estimable young ladies, and which has ca3t a gloom over the entire capital city. The unfortunates were Miss Mary Lee Read, Miss Relie Chambers and Miss Elenore Garland. The young ladies were bathing in the Amite River, when one ot their number got beyond her depth. She screamed and the other two went to her assistance and all three were drowned. A Narrow E cape.

Aug, 17.?Tobe Wesey, 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 radlast seen the boy. By looking up nthe vine3 he wa3 not long in finding iim r.nf wli<?n hf> palled Ibe bov failed to 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 md before he could recover hits acnse the 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 lim and gradually crushed his life out. We3ley does not know what kind of a make it was a3 he did not see it after lis son fell. His Hear; Failed Him.

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.

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.
