Every son, whatever may be his expectations as to fortune, ought to be BO eduoated that he can superin tend some part of the complicated machinery of social life ; and every daughter ought to bo so educated that she oan answer the claims of humanity, whether those claims re quire the labor of tho head or the labor of the hand.-Horace Mann. # # # There are 217 oountics in the United States in whiob 20 per cent, and more of tho native whito mon of votiug ago are unable to road.

A special dispatch to tho Knox ville Journal and Tribune from Chucky City, East Tennessee, con tains this significant paragraph : "Thc exodus from this Bcotion of the country to the West continues. Within tho last few days twenty per sons went from this station alone. Some estimato that for some time hence the average will bc fifty each week. Hut this seems entirely too large. However, many of tho best people are going. They claim they cannot educate their children here, that they cannot hope for anything moro than a mere living, and if they can give their children neither edu cation nor property as au inheritance they are therefore doing them an in justice. To keep from doing thal injustice they must move ont West or to pome other favored section of tho country than the South." # ? # The growling of ignorant and un? progressive men over the cost of edu cating tho children of the State is not only inhumano but indecent. Superintendent Britain, of this county, in a recent article reprinted by UH from tho great periodical, The World's Work, says: "It is a significant and deplorable fact that the court, house and jail of the average county represent, as a rule, the investments of more money than all its school houses combined that is, we commonly spend more to convict and house a criminal than to train him so that he will become a useful citizen ; although Instances could be multiplied showing that it coHts moro to convict a family-as, for instance, that of the notorious Jukes, in the State of New York than to educate a whole township." That cogent statement will apply to at least 75 per cent of thc counties in the State of Georgia. Look at it -understand what it means-then go and look at your courthouse, your jails, your bonded debt for both, your court's criminal expense ac count, leaving out its cost for civil litigation, and then, if vou are a Georgian to the mannor fcorn, think what all this expenso for crime means as compared with the cost ol educating tho people of the future out of criminal temptations and into honest, useful ambitions. Is a court and jail protected barn full of field products worth moro to any citizen of Georgia than children educated to efficiency in self-support and self-protection against the wiles of temptation and trickery? If not, then every good man and woman in Georgia should get enthusiastically busy in demanding, and having al any cost, a system of common schools in the State that will equip every Georgia boy and girl with a sound primary education.-Atlanta Con stitution.

That was perhaps tho single expedient by which the life of thc business could have been perpetuated in this Stato. Thc history of neighboring Southern States proves it. Texas and Mississippi aro practi cally prohibition States. Only in a few counties is tho whiskey trade permitted. Thc Ramo is true of Tennessee. Fifty counties are "dry' in Alabama. Thirty of the forty counties in Florida prohibit the sale of intoxicants. Fifty Arkansas counties are "dry." Of 187 counties in Georgia probably not more than ten or a dozen have bar-rooms ; more than a hundred have absolute prohi bition. In North Carolina sixty of thc ninety-seven counties have pro hibition. In both North Carolina and Georgia some counties have loeal dispensaries,, similar to ours, except that each is an independent county concern, and there are State dispensaries. In these States thc people voto as between dispensaries, bar-rooms and prohibition. The latter prevails in nearly all the counties. In other words, it is tho simple fact that within tho last ten or fifteen years almost tho wholo South has voted itself "dry."-Laurens Ad vertiser. How we Catch a Cold.

MW; C.T.U:*? Byy?MOwoitM ttesu MMBH Mt^wMtjyjfiioiciiiiSf Wound Up for the Day. Nover let yourself think that your circumstance* are stronger than your \eaveuiy Father. An inoident told by a Christian worker of long experience gives the key to the vie tor iou? life in the midst of tempta tion. Some time ago, at a mooting held in a large seaport town, two sailors, when spoken to about salvation, said : "It ain't no use. If we give up drinking and swearing to-night, we should be as bad as evor to-morrow." Tho leader of the meeting took his watch from his pocket and said : uDo you think the maker of th?B watch could wind it up again?" "Of course he could, sir I" was the answer. "Well, God ?B your maker, and don't you think he could wind you up and keep you going ?" "I never thought of that, sir." "Come to him, then, and prove his power. He can put you in working order, and keep you going on board ship just as well as on land." They both sought salvation. Some eight or nine months later, when they returned from a voyage, and wore asked how they had got on, they replied : "All right, thank God I We made up our minds that every morning we would kneel down and ask him to wind us up for the day, and every night we would thank him for hav ing done it ; and he did." # # # v Hour by Hour. For years Striker Jones, a tall, powerful Scotchman, has held the position of "boss striker" at the steel works. Nearly all the men in his dopartment wore hard drinkers, and ho was no exception to the rule. But one day it was announced among the workmen that he had be como religious ; and, sure 'enough, when pressed to take a drink, be said : "I shall nover take a drink mair, lads. Na drunkard can inhabit tho kingdom of God." A knowing one smiled and said : "Wait a bit, wait a bit. Wait until the bot weather-until July. When ho gets as dry as a gravel pit, then he will give in. Ho can't help it." But right through the hottest months ho toiled, the sweat pouring in ut reams, yet he never seemed to be tempted to drink. Finally, as I was taking the mon's timo one evening, I stopped and spoke to him. "Stowe," said I, "you used to tako considerable liquor. Don't you miss lt ?" "Yes," said he, emphatically. "How do you manage to keep away from it ?" "Wed, just this way. It is now ten o'clock, isn't it?" "Yes." "Weel, to-day ?H the twentieth of the month. From seven till eight I ??sked that the Lord would halp me. He did so, an' I put down a dot on the calendar right near the twenty. From eight till nine he kop' me, an' I put down another dot. From nine to ten ho's kep' me, an' noo I gio him the glory as I put down tho third dot. Just as I mark theso I pray, 'O Lord, halp me ; halp me to fight it off for another hour.'

A special to tho New York World from Grand Rapids, Mich., says : Robert Stuart Baker, who in herited half of a $200,000 estate loft by his grandfather, who was a pioneer lumberman, wrote about four hundred burning letters to Miss Honrictta Adams, and a Kont eirouit jury has deoided that ho shall pay for them at tho rate of $75 each, making $80,000. Miss Adams is the pretty daughter of a substantial merohant of Case ville, a little town up in Huron county. Sho was sent to Olivet col lege and there beoamo acquainted with Baker, who also was a student I there. They became college lovers, and later thoy entored upon a rapid fire amatory correspondence. After he began to earn his living in a lumber camp in Minnesota and she booame a school teacher, tho cor respondence became oven warmor, reaching somewhat of a climax in the spring of 1902, when tho subjeot] of marriage was1 taken up directly and repeatedly. Their correspond ence continued without cessation, however, until the latter part off | October, 1902, whan it suddonly stopped. In January Miss Adams rccoivod oards formally announcing tho mar riage of Baker to a Miss Boono of New York.
