In the course of the last session of j the general assembly of the State Senator S. G. Mayficld introduced in the Senate a bill entitled "a bill to forbid and prohibit the importation and transportation, manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors and beverages in this State, and to grant local option to the counties of the State." The bill seems to us, after a careful pcrsual, to be an effort to combine the desirable features of prohibition, local option, high license and dispensary regulations. First, there is prohibi tion throughout the State, except as the bill provides. It is assumed that prohibition is the proper attitude of the State toward the liquor traffic. But if a county thinks that the sale of liquors under such stringent regu lations as the bill provides may be carried on with safety license may be taken out. The manufacturer of alco holic liquors and beverages is required to pay an annual registration fee of twenty-five dollars. No manufactory shall be allowed except upon petition of the township in which the manu factory is to be located. The bill seeks to eliminate as far as possible the social features of the drink habit, adopting in this respect the regulations at present in force in the dispensary. A strict enforcement of such provisions will go far towards a mitigation of the evils of the drink habit, and conduce in no small degree to the interests of temperance. Games and the attractions of the saloon do much to promote drunkenness and social degradation. If a county wishes to have a licen sed vendor of alcoholic liquors, one fourth of the qualified voters of such county as certified to by the county board of registration must petition for au election to decide whether or not such license shall be granted. Only by a majority vote may liquor be allowed to be sold in a county. The person licensed must be approved by the county board of commissioners, and must pay to the secretary of State the sum of five hundred dollars, in addition to giving a bond with good securities for the faithful performance of his duties. Furthermore, the coun ty board of commissioners and the municipal authorities may charge such fee for license as they please, from a nominal sum up to any amount, to be divided equally between the county and the municipal government. Un der this arrangement the State's fee of five hundred uollars might be the only charge amounting to auything, while on the other hand it might be the least considerable of the two license charges. Provision is made for heavy fines aud penalties upon those that violate the laws in this matter. The State prohibition feature of the bill will be pleasing to all earnest ad vocates of temperance. The bill puts the State out of the liquor business, and if it is to exist, the responsibility for its existence falls upon the people of the county who petitiou for the sale of it. The State permits it when a county by a majority vote acks for such a favor. Of course it might hap pen that many counties would vote for the sale of liquor. If they do so, this only means that prohibition would in all probability be ineffectual in euch counties. The bill means, therefore, prohibition to the extent that prohi bition is practicable. For pur part, we long to eco a better settlement of the liquor question in our State. Of courso there are diffi culties in the way of local option. When wc have dry and wet counties side by side, the dry counties are more liable to absorb moisture than the wet counties are to become dry. In the present depraved condition of human nature wetness is more contagious than dryness. Still when the good people see that prohibition in a county is a benefit morally, socially and in dustrially they are immensely' encour aged. Wc trust something better than the dispensary is ahead. In the vigorous and perhaps not very elegant language of Senator May field : "The dispensary is doomed. Mismanagement, stealing, rebates and other scandals have dragged it down until it is now a stench ; besides, the federal courts have punched a hole in the side of its structure that it is bound to go down." The great pana cea of the temperance evil has been anything but a blessing to us and a real remedy. Wc are fully persuaded that the public demoralization that has resulted from the establishment of the dispensary has more than over balanced the good that may have been derived from its influence upon private life. We cannot afford to adopt any temperance measure (the dispensary was never a temperance measure but from the first an industrial State en terprise) that debauches the public and strikes at the roots of civic virtue, hoping that notwithstanding the pub lie demoralization good will result to HONEA PATH HIGH SCHOOL HAS closed a most ?atlsfactory year's work to both patrons and teachers.

It is a rare occurrence for animals in a wild state to selectman for a com panion and friend, yet well authenti cated instances when this has been douc arc a matter of record. The fol lowing instance is vouched for by my correspondent, a young woman who is a close and accurate observer : Last week my brother (a lad of 12) killed a snake which was just in the act of robbing a song sparrow's nest. Ever since then the male sparrow has shown his gratitude to Georgoin a truly won derful manner. When he goes into the garden the sparrow will fly to him, sometimes alighting on his head, at other times on his shoulders, all the while pouring out a tumultuous song of praise and gratitude. It will accom pany him about the garden, never leaving him until he reaches the gar den gate. George, as you know, is a quiet boy, who loves animals, and this may account in a degree for the spar row's extraordinary actions." I am perfectly convinced that the nesting birds on my place know me, and that they remember me from one nesting time to another. I have re peatedly approached my face to within a foot of setting birds without alarm ing them. Un one occasion* I even placed my hand on a setting cardinal, which merely fluttered from beneath it without evincing further alarm ? yet no wild bird has ever evinced towards myself any especial degree of friend ship. When I was a lad I remember that a certain decrepit old drake would follow mc like a dog. and which ap peared to enjoy himself in my society. I could not appreciate his friendship then, and greatly fear that [ was, at times, rather cruel to the old fellow. ?Louisville Courier-Journal. To his "Dearest Lore." There was one young person posses sed of a pretty face, a kind heart and an all absorbing desire to do something to assist her fellow beings. After some eloquent persuasion she obtained tho consent of her family to enter the hos pital to study for the work of a trained nurse. Among the pretty enthusiast's first patients was a young man with a bro ken arm and of an attractive appear ance. The demure, white-capped nurse began to take an unusual inter est in him, and asked him one day if there was nothing she could do for him?no book she could read, no let ter she could write. The patient grate fully accepted the latter offer and the nurse prepared to write from his dic tation. lie began with a tender address to his "dearest love," and the little nurse felt slightly embarrassed. But she continued through the most ar dent declarations of all obsorbing affection to the the end, where he wished to be subscribed an adoring lover for all time. Then she folded the letter and slipped it into its en velope. "To whom shall I direct?" she ask ed. The wicked young man said amiably and even tenderly: "What is your name, please?" They have been married a little more than a year now. ? Old Milyuns?Young man, my daughter tells me that you kissed her last night.

For sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co Broke his Leg for a Girl, "I've had an endless variety of ca ses to spice my professional life, but none of them left more lasting impres sion than that of young Boggs." Af ter the doctor had thus committed him self there was uothing to do but tell the story. "Boggs was summering in thc(Jreen Mountains. Having plenty of money he was in the habit of getting what he wanted and had encountered compara tively few disappointments. While clambering down the side of a cliff one morning with a view to reaching a trout stream by the shortest route, Boggs took an ugly tumble and broke his leg. His cries for help brought a pretty Philadelphia girl, who was with an aunt that had always lived within the shadow of one of the great hills. He was taken to the aunt's unpreten tious little house, and the girl became his nurse. I was recuperating in the same vicinity and looked after the pa tient. "Boggs took the part of an invalid until so fat and strong that deception was no longer possible. Then he took me aside, made a point blank confes sion of love for the girl, said that he needed more time for a successful wooing and wanted me to break that leg again. I could make my own charges, but the relation of sick man and nurse must again be established between him and thr. angelic little Quakeress. I resented his proposi tion and he announced his intention to return to his hotel. He had not gone a quarter of a mile from the house when he in some way accomplished what I had refused to do, and once more enjoyed the ministrations of the fair nioce. The circumstances were peculiarly favorable to a successful courtship, and I was wondering how I could make a successful interference when her father appeared on the scene. He was as practical a man as I ever met. After I had told him what had occurred, he sent his daughter home and had a brief talk with Boggs. The effect of all the old gentleman had to say to Boggs was that he might break every bone in his body, and even his neck, but could never have the gjrli Boggs pulled himself together, quit falling off of mountains, settled down to doing his share of work in the world, and two years later lits former nurse was Mrs. Boggs."?Deh-oit Free Press. The First Soldier Killed* To the Edil or of the Observer: In your edition of the 27th, under the caption, "The First Soldier Killed,n li. M. Pxrham makes the statement that Captain Marr, of the Warren ton Rifles, wiis the first man killed on the Confed?rete cide, during the late un pleasantness. He claims that Captain Marr wan killed at, or near Fairfax Court House, on the 31st of May, 1861. This is no doubt all true, and Captain Marr was the first to fall on Virginia soil; but it is also a well-es tablished fact that the first life lost, on account of the civil war, was that of a brave young South Carlina boy, James Clark Allen, of Abbeville Dis trict, S. C. The sad trgedy occurred on Sullivan's Island, February 13, 1861, three and one-half months be fore Marr was killed. "Young Allen, while hurriedly pass ing from one section of the barracks to another, in old Fort Moultrie, sud denly ran againat the point of a com rade's bayonet, which entered his eye and pierced his brain, causing death almost immediately. That is, according to the records, the first martyr of the "Lost Cause." Possi bly another Was killed before young Allen lost his life. A. R. Banks. Yorkville, S. C. ?

DEPOT STREET Woman's Status in the South. Atlanta, Ga., July 5.?Since the abolition of African slavery there has been no change in the South so re markable as that which has taken place in the status ami prospects of women. This change is, perhaps, more marked in Georgia thau in any other State in the South. Not until after the adoption of the State Consti tution of 1868 could a married woman hold property in G eorgia. Now morc than one-third of all the taxable prop erty in Fulton County, where Atlanta is situated, a county that contains one-eighth of all the property in the State, is owned by married women, and the property of women, married and single, amounts to almost half the taxable values of the county. Women are large stockholders in many of the best banks, manufacturing corpora tions, and other enterprises in this State, and several of the leading wholesale business firms of Atlanta have women as partners. In every city of the South women arc now found by the score and hun dreds in lines of work Avhcre twenty five years ago hardly a woman was to be seen. The writer can remember when there was not a shop-girl in Atlanta, and it was several years after the war before the first appearance of a woman behind a counter in this city. The woman as stenographer, typewriter, bookkeeper, journalist, and physician made her appearance in this city much later, but she is here now in all the callings mentioned, and. in others. The prejudice against woman's par ticipation in business or professional life, once so strong in the South, is practically dead. With the increasing number of women at work, contrary to the usual operation of the law of com petition, tliTc basc?me an increasing appreciation of the value of woman's services. They are better paid in Georgia than they were ten years ago, although many more of them are em ployed. The difference between the wages of men and women in the same lines and grades of work is also dis appearing fast. It has been hardly ten years since the first employment of a woman in newspaper work in Georgia. Now there is not a daily newspaper in the State which has not at least one woman on its staff, while some newspapers have three or four. They not o?iy do "society" work, but act a3 regular reporters, and in that capacity prove highly satisfactory. Several weekly newspapers in Georgia arc owned and edited by women, and there is one daily paper, the Americus Recorder, which is being successfully, conducted by the widow of its late owner and editor. The Woman's Press Associa tion of Georgia was formed several years ago, and has about fifty mem bers.

Ten years ago the only professional nurses in Atlanta were negro men and women. Five years ago the State Normal and Industrial School for Girls was estab lished at Milledgeville. It was bitterly opposed by the ultra-conservative ele ment in the Legislature, but has be come one of the most popular institu tions in Georgia, and its accommoda tions will need to be enlarged. In this school the girls arc taught teleg raphy, stenography, typewriting, dress making, cooking, bookkeeping, and other practical sciences. Many gradu ates of the school arc earning their living. The pupils do not come entirely from families of small means. Wealthy fathers send their daughters there, preferring this practical school to ?lie purely classical colleges. The office of assistant librarian in the State library has bee*, filled by a woman during the past tnree years, and it is generally believed that at the expiration of the term of the pres ent librarian a woman will be appoint ed, the recent Legislature having made women eligible to the position. The Atlanta public library has been man aged by a woman for several years, and there is only one public library in the State where a woman is not in charge. Recently thore was a vacancy on the Atlanta board of education, and the election of a woman was very gen erally demanded. Ten years ago woman suffrage was not mentioned here, except in scorn and ridicule. Nowtherc isaWoman's Suffrage Association in Atlanta with several hundred members. There are similar organizations in nearly every city in Georgia, and a State associa tion has been formed. Some of the leading public men of the State are persistent and enthusiastic advocates of woman suffrage, and it is probable that a bill giving women the right to vote in certain elections will be intro duced at the next session of the Leg islature. It will be defeated, of course, but at the rate of progress the equal suffragists have made in this State recently the passage of such a bill a few years hence is not improbable. ??rew York Ecening Post. ? Can a death which is caused by a mosquito bite properly be called accidental ? The Court of Appeals of Kentucky has so decided, and the decision appears to the Chicago Times Herald to be very good law. A Ken tucky traveling man took out an acci dent insurance policy for $5,000 and departed on a journey. In Rome, Ga., before he arose one morning his right foot became uncovered and a mosquito h?vering near, waiting for an early breakfast, settled on the foot "at the base of the fourth toe" and gorged himself. Blood poisoning, as the doctors testified, was the result of the bite, and the man died. When sued on the policy the company contended that a mosquito bite was not an acci dent, and consequently they ought not to be compelled to pay. The lower Court agreed with the company, but on appeal the higher Court reversed the case and gave judgment for the widow who had brought the suit. The Rhlnometer, or Breath Mcanurer. The latest scientific invention Is the rhinometor. The objcot of this instru ment is not, as the vulgar might suppose, to measure money; its purpose is to gauge the estent to which you breathe through your nose. This matter, it ap pears is of far more importance than might be imagined. ?ll the lower ani mais breathe through the nose and through the nose alone. Human beings, with their customary perversity, are given to breathing through the throat, not merely when a cold in the head com pels them to have recourse to this illegiti mate mode of respiration, but from their cantankerous disposition to do things the wrong way whenever opportunity offers. Of course, they are punished for their disregard of the best animal traditions. The scientific truth is that the oxygen of the air knows better than to allow itself to be smuggled into the lungs by tho back door, as it were. It will only enter our system in the quantity desirable through the nose?the straight and narrow way. The serious predicament of the throat breathers is at once apparent, to the out come of their detestable habit they are kept short of oxygen. The conaequenoe is they become anaemic and suffer from a hundred other ills to whioh ?i sensible animal refuses to be heir. By tho use of the rhlnometer it is open to any man to know out ^.f how much oxygen ho cheats his lungs. A most excellent inotrnmont is this. It should promote common hon esty and procure humanity the numerous blessings that would result from men keeping their mouths shut.?Full Mall Oazctlc. I c. whitbfield, DENTIST.

Texas is a great ?State.

How largo it is in territory is shown by a writer in tho Ladies' Home Journal. He says: "Texas is two hundred and twelve times tho size of Rhode Island. Texas might invite every man, woman and child now living in the world to set tle within its territory, offering each in dividual a plot of ground 491 feet.

England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and Portugal could be trans planted to Texas and there would still be room for a good-sized promenade. Three of the cattle ranches of Texas cover as much territory as the Sandwich Inlands, which we wore to annex four years ago." ? There are three time3 as many muscles in the tail of a cat as there arc in the human hand and wrist. Xt*a the same story. The experience of all sufferers with blood diseases is Identical. First the doctors are con sulted, and their prescription of po tash and mercury is taken faithfully, but without result. Months pass, and the mercurial dose is continued, until finally, his condition being no better, or often worse, the patient becomes discouraged and decides to change treatment. Patent medicines are then taken, but until the right one is found the results are the same. S. S. S. is the only blood remedy on the market which is guaranteed purely vegetable. It Is the only one that contains no mercury, no potash, or other mineral, and therefore is the only one that promptly gets at the bottom of all blood diseases and cures permanently. MR. JOSEPH C. MYGATT. All who are afflicted with Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, Cancer, Carbuncles, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Catarrh, or any other form of blood troubles, will find in S. S. S. a prompt and permanent cure; it matters not how c.eep eeated the disease, or what Other treatment has failed. Carbuncles are the result of an impoverished con dition of the blood, causing a depressed vitality and such a low state ox health that it is difficult for the system to with stand even the mildest illness. Mr. Joseph C. Mygatt, of No, 400 Han Cock Ave., Athens, Ga., says: "Icon* traeteci blood poison from dye, which developed such alarming symptoms, that my life was almost despaired of. At one time there were fourteen car buncles on my body, and my suffering was such that for months I was unable to do any work. The best physician in our city treated me constantly, but his efforts were of no avail, my condi tion growing woree all the while. "S. S. S. was recommended, and after I had taken the first bottle, an im provement was noticed. I grew better every day, and after taking six bottles I was entirely<:ured. The carbuncles all disappeared, leaving my skin per fectly clear, and I have never had one since." There is not a disease of the blood, it matters not how severe, which S. S. S. will not cure. It is guaranteed Purely Vegetable and is a. real blood remedy for real blood troubles, promptly reaching the seat of the disease, and forcing it out permanently.
