You can always borrow trouble without collateral but it is a cinch that you will haye to pay compound interest at usurious rates. If you desire to save a man. 3 ou must look for the best in him not the worst. And you must let him know it. To tell a per son he is a child of the devil, or act as though you so considered him, is not the way to induce him to beoorae a child ot God.

Page acquitted himself with distinguished credit and served the lVpublic with a rare sagacity. His naturi alness, his frankness, his humotl were the qualities that not onlit commanded the confidence oy the Italian people but endeared1 him to them, so that, their bent of swiftly toward *>ur in the months foliowiog wjHiflarmist ice, their regard fot Mr, Page was not diminished. Twice in the last dozen years Mr Page visited Columbia, his second visit having been made in the spring of 1021 when he delivered two or three addresses. Many of our people, who came into brief association with him, will remember him as the kind of man to write "Red Rock" and "Two Little Confederates" and they have an affection for him that no other distinguished visitor of a few days could have in spired. With the people of Rich mond and of Virginia and of the country they sorrow at the death of the most lovable and brilliant gentlemen who served so faithfully and to so great a purpose.

During the progress of the rail- i road strike in Tennessee, Charles 1 Lanier, a shopman, was killed b and three men were arrested on \ charge of the murder. The case t was tuken up live weeks ago and r the lawyers haye succeeded in ( consuming all that time in selec- $ tion of a jury. It was only yes- < terday that the twelfth man was - | accepted.
