Discusses Marriage in Interesting
Manner and Speaks of the Trous
seau. ,
Wedding bells have been ringing
around here for some time. Their
music always excite the good people"
and everybody talks about the coming
iiuptials. Mothers, wives and daugh
ters are specially niteresled for it is the
bride who has most at stake and is
about to surrender everything to her
lover. But hope is stronger than fear
and the women all rejoice in it and
wish the good work to go on. • They
dissect and discuss,every phase of the
new relationship and crowd the church
or the home where the knot is to be
tied with anxious and eager interest.
The bridal trousseau and the wedding
gift* have especial consideration and
are carefully inspected. What a dif
ference between man and wyman about
such thinge. What a difference be
tween wife my and I. It was of '•mail
concern to me whether the bride's up.
pare I coat a thousand dollars or a ban
died. Juki so she was dressed in good
taste and wore a few pretty ornaments
was enough for use. 1 like to see a
pretty woman dressed in a way tbs.
you can tell pretty well how much o<

ing of children is a violation of the law
of, God. i
The earth must be peopled by honor
able marriage. Milton says “ Hail
wedded Love—true source of human
offspring.” And again be says of
marriage, “ It is the turn of earthly
bliss.” Other cynical old poets ntake
spoi t of it and call it a “lottery.” “An
institution where those who are out
wish to get in and those who are in
wish it) get out.” Some of our modern
poets ask,the question, “ Is marriage a
failure ?” and Uiscuss it in prose and
poetry. ' Well, suppose that it is, what
is to be done about it. Who is going
to slop it ? How shall the earth be
peopled wbeu we all die off ? What
kind of incuoators do they piopose to
substitute?
Emerson says “ All the world loves
a lover,” and that is why the good peo
ple of every community flock to wit
ness a marriage ceremony. Every
body loves the happy couple then and
wishes them joy. Will be he kind to
her, and there is a siuoUiered thought
in every mother’s mind.
I>r Games, of the Agnes Scott In

our gins.- ll was deeply euieriatuiug

Growing just a short distance from
the agricultural building in Washing
ton is a thick, horny hedge of orange
trees. Citrus tnfoliata they are called.
The fruit is inedible, being small and
bitter, but the orange is hardy, grow
ing to maturity as tar North as Phila
delphia. The great frost of 1890 in
Florida, which destreyed so mahy or
ange groves, suggested to Secretary
Wilton the great advantages''whi6h
would follow the di8covery*of a hardier
variety of tbit fruit than is now grown
in this couuUy. It was decided to
produce a by brid orange, crossing the
Florida plaut with a trifoliata, in the
endeavor to get .a sweet orange which
should be likewise haidy. The depart
ment has succeeded in getting 3,UUO of
these by hi id plants. It is too soon to
say what the result will l»e with the
fruit, it* is not believed, however,
that a sweet orange will result, though
there is still some hope of that, ll U
thought, however, that by again doss
ing inis by brid with the sweet orm-ge
u time a marketable fruit may be pro
Oucvd from a tree which will grow
very much farther North than the one
now known to the orange groves of
the coonm.

Near the village the hills are covered
with the evergreen pine, the bluffs are
dense with oak, ash and hickory, the
fields abound in richest grasses,, while
the Ammer, its banks studded with
wild sycamore, flews ever through
green pastures.
The Passion Play at Oberarui eragu
was meant for its citizens and the
peasants of adjoining districts. Not
until ihirty years ago had it obtained
world-wide fame. The method of en
tertaining the visitors is marvelous,
when every hotel in Munich/, a city of
350,090 people, is crowded beyond ca
pacity from May until September, and
20 trains daily run to Oberammergau
and return. Although the latter place
contains little over 1,000 inhabitants,
620 people take part iu the play. This
is the only honor known to a villager
—a part in the cast of the great Pas
sion Play. The only surety to this
honor is by living a pure and upright
light. One’s whole life must be past
ed iu Christiau hu uility and gentle
ness.
The actors n gard themselves as tak
ing part in an act of devotion, their
sobs and llieir tears show the depth of
their sincerity. Many of them kneel
down to pray on entering the theatre,
as they do when they go to worship in
church. Modem methods of facial
make-up, stage lighting and stage man
agement are lacking; b -t rnticttm Is

DISTRIBUTION OP PROFITS
To Be Divided Among Counties
Towns and Cities Having Dis
pensaries.
Mr. Gunter bad a hill to change the
percentage of the profits of the dis
pensary. He wanted 53 j»er cent of
the proilts to go to the counties ajnd
wanted to force the counties to giveaD
per cent of ihpir 53 per, cent-to tbo
county schools. The chief difference
•was that he proposed to reduce the
Slate’s profit to 2 per Cent. Only the
net profits are re/erred to.
Mr. Croft urgtd that those counties
that enforced the dispensary should
get the profits.
Mr^ Prince said the bill was con
stitutional and fair, and the plain wonts
were that the dispensaiy profits should
go to the coumies that make the profit.
Mr. DeLoach said there was no dis
pensary .in his county and his people
did not want a dispensary. He ex
plained the history of the dispensary
at Ttrzab. if this bill was intended to
drive York County to the dispensary it
was au outrage and a wrong.
Mr. Croft aaked it York County was
so nghteous as not to waut a dispen
sary, would it not be fail f<»r it not to
want the proflu of counties that paid
for tha policing of this very trouble
some traffic.
Mr.* DeLourh insisted that the dis
pensary was • Mata ami not a county
law.
Mr. J. II. Kinard said be lived in a
county without a dispensary and want

owned anu was operating a line which
was partly within the 8U'e of South
Carolina and partly without the State
of South Carolina, to wit: within the
State of Georgia, and it also alleges
that the Southern Kailway company
owned and was operating a line which
was partly within said State and partly
outside said State, and the contention
is that, as the Southern lisibvay com
pany has leased the line of the Soutn
Carolina and Georgia Railroad company
contrary to such statute, the plaintiff
is entitled to bring this action fo r the
penalty. In the title of the aforesaid
act the expression is used “competing
railroad lines within this State.” It
U impossible for the court in constru
ing: pda highly penal statute tP leave
out of consideration the plain and ex-
ptess terms “ competing railroad lines
within this State.” Such expression
taken into consideration clearly shows
that the manifest intention of the Leg
islature was to give to the citizen this
penalty when cue railroad line lying
within this State purchases another so
lying, and not otherwise, and l so hold.
So holding it is plain and manifest that,
whatever ether defects mav appear in
the complaint, the plaintiff has fai ed
to bring himself within the terms of
this penal statute. Judge Watts then
declared the act of IMH to be repealed
by tbe constitution of 1MMS, inasmuch
as this art provtdee b remedy where
there has been competition between
k along the Tine of tb* leased rail-
while the ceoaUlutaia, ccauag

go willingly and eagerly to the mar
riage altar when they know that theirs
is all tbe peul and them to be all the
pain and care and giifd^iat inevitably
comes to a wife and mllher. I have
pondered over aH this and if 1 wa» a
woman and had only a man's lualiucia
and emotions 1 would not marry any
man upon earth, ll i* the God given
maternal instinct that persuade- and
forces a woman to marry. She will
launch her boat upon the stream and
take her chances to jump the water
falls. She will marry even against her
judgment and tbe pleading* of her
friends. She does not realize the force
of this maternal instinct, but it impels
and controls her. My Utile grand
daughters are perfectly happy with
their dolls. • They play with them by
day and sleep with them by night. A
little four-year-old sqid to me last night-,
“ Ganpa, don’t take dolly away from
me till I get fast asleep.” Utile boys
care nothing about dolls. Tbojfc want
balls and drums aud iire-crackers and
guns—something that will make a
noise. A man loves a woman and
raarrrts her, but there ia-not a yartjcle
of paternal instinct influeuciffg him.
The young mother hugs her’flrst born
to her bosom and is happy. The
youug father takes the advent of the
child as a matter of course, but not of
choice. In course of time the liltle
one grows into favor and ho becomes
attached to it, and even proud of it,
hut there is no paternal instinct. The
trtM woman loves to be a mother. She
is not contend with one child. She
wants another and another and an
other. Two children double her love
and therefore her happiness and finally
when she has no mote liltle ones to
fondle, her maternal love laps over to
her grandchildren , and she would claim
them U she could. Mrs. Wilcox wrote
a lamentation on the “ Decay of the
Maternal Instinct in New England,
asserting that tbe women up there did
not wish for children and there was
hardly a household that bad mure than
oos or tiro—just enough to tnhemthe
father’s estate
When that decays everything elec
decays. A town or city or a State

It was not many years ago* that all
of the rice groyrn in the United Mates
was of the' Honduran variety. This
was found to be unprofitable, and the
rice industry languished perceptibly.
The Department of Agriculture took
the matter up, and introduced the Ja
pan or Krushu rice, which has created
such a revolution in rice growing as
to eliminate all other varieties. It is
claimednMU, at least fi20,000,000 have
been invested iu rice fields iu Texas
aud Louisiana since the introduction
.of the Ja|«nese grain. It yields M
per cent, more lo Uie acre, and mills
al least 25 per cent, more unbroken
rice than did the Honduran variety,
ami baa, theicfote, increased the nee
production per acre over 50 per rout.
Tbe department has tong since given
up the rice bustnros to legitimala buat-

Origin and History of the Bavarian
Drama of World-Wine Fame.
The origin < f the l*ss*ion Flay date*
back to 1033. Wben the long Thirty
Y> ars’ war was devouring Germain, a
severe attack of plague broke out, tie-
viistaling the cities aud villages of tbe
Bavarian Tyrol, I’aitenkirrben and
Mittcwald.
When eighty-four of the inhabitants
of the vi lage of Oberammergau had
been swept away m a single month-;
the heart slnckeu survivors met in as
sembly, prayihg Almighty God for the
preservation ot their hoarlhs and
homes. In their agony, the terrror-
smeken 'peasants resolved to perform
ihetr anu every ten years afterward,
with the deepest reverence and sol-
emuitv, a play which would <et forth
the life, death aud medl lion of tbe
Red cmer. Hi.-toiy and tradition say
that their vow was heaid, and that
Ir m lhat moment there was not one
victim, and the plagui wa- stayed.
For decade .after tlecade the simple
villagers have continued to perform
the play, except once or twite when
war- rendered it impossible.
\ Qberanuuerg|iu is a village of per
haps 12,000 people, men, women and
children, situated in the Bavaruu
Tyrol. The spui^s of tbe Alps form a
natural amphitheatre, while the Am-
mer river, a small stream of the clear
est', brightest water, w.nds lazily around
the converging h.lls. There are three
main approaches to the-village ; the
first and most-obvious by Munich and
the north ; the second from the south
east and Parteukircheo, which gives a
beautiful wooded ascent to Ellal, with
entrance by tbe mojutain gateway uf
Kofel; the third and most picturesque
route fponi Ueutie by the Flau See,
passing through the fair paaiuree of
Ammerthal, aud enleriug Oberammer-
gau before the gnat gray throne ol
rock which aprtng* out of the Kolel-
berg wood*, and is marked by • cross

It is wonderful how generations of
Christiau culture in people of rustic
simplicity have produced, m face and
manner, looks aud qualities that so
closely resemble the popular idea of
Christ and his associates.
“ I chanced to see Anton Lang,”
says H. I). Rawnsley, “ at early muss
ou the morning of th^ performance.
He seemed rapt iu the service, and
when he leit the church he walked as
iu a dream ; others chatted, but he
walked straight on without a word,
audit seemed that men moved aside
aud left a way for him as if they felt
that he were almost more than a man;
al least he was moving in another
world aud they knew it aud felt it.”
The Virgin Mary of the play is im
personated hy Anna, Flunger. She is
LU years old, abd a great beauty. It
is said lhat there is uo ac'ress ou thd
American or English stage today who
could clothe the character of the Vir
giu with the sweetness, spirituality,
womanly dignity and devotion which
this unlettered peasant girl imparts to
ll. Yet she has never seen a theatre
[day in her life. Truly there must be
a divinity that shapes the'end of that
village, that generation after genera
tiou there should be born into it men
who can look, as well aa act, the tre-
1 diUonal parts of Christ and Uie be
loved diertpt—

P.sa.saed of a heart which was

Born 11 leader of men, God’s stamp

Honor, genius, chivalry aud patriot

Divine-implanted love of constitutional
liberty, which was’ the inspiration at

has eurvi ed the attacks ol sectional

Judge Richard 0. Watts has filed his
decree with the clerk of Coin tat Aiken
in the case of McNeil vs. the Soulherit
Railway company. This is an action
brought by McNeil to recover a penally
against the Southern of $100 per day
for leasing and operating an alleged
competing and paraUel road. The
case arose out of the Southern’s lease
of the South Carolina and Georgia,
which the plaintiff claims was con
trary to the constitution and the statute
laws of the State. When tbe case was
heard tbe road, through its attorneys,
Messrs. B L. Abney, of Columbia; J.
YV. Barnwell, of Charleston, and the
Hendersons, of Aiken, inleriiosed a
demurrer. This was resisted by
Messrs lloykin Wright, of Augusta,
aud G. W. Croft A Son, of Aiken
Judge Watts took the matter under ad
visement and the following.is a synop
sis of his liacree:
