J. W. Anderson, } Editor mid Proprietor. U cannot extinguish lour electric light by blow ing. Neither can U match us on EMBROIDERIES. Have you tapped us for a bargain since the holidays ? If you haven’t, you better had. But if you’ll come right away you won’t have to bore very deep to become a mon¬ , ey saver. You see we are unlike other folks. Now that they are selling on long time old goods are as good as new -f with them and NO PRICE COMES TOO HIGH. With us the case is different. Nobody is under obligation to us. Our trade demands brand spanking new snoods of the latest style and very lowest price. They have come to look upon our store as headquarters for these things and consequently now while others are marking their left-over-goods up to go out on a credit, we are cutting right and left to close out every rag of this season’s goods, and we are doing it. Now don’t be so foolish as to think we are just blowing our horn, and that you can buy goods somewhere else just as cheap. You can’t do any such thing and you’ll show mighty good horse sense to come over and see what we are talking about if you need anything to wear. O ur we CLOTHING are selling is AT not COST old only to keep it young. ADAIR’S ONE PRICE CASH HOUSE. m Baltimore- Can Mail Orders are You Given Special Attention. Thirty-five years of successful business in At¬ lanta has proven the above assertion. When you buy a suit from us you can feel sat¬ isfied that it comes from first haTids, because, we are the only clothing house that manufactures and sells direct to. the consumer, You know what that means. We save you all the way from 10 to 20 per cent. , EISEMAN BROS. of 11, 13, 15, 17 Whitehall St., Temporary Quarters, Corner Pryor ai>d Alabama Streets. Near Union Depot.

Some English Legal Decisions as te What Constitnte the Necessaries of Life — They Widely Differ From Duke to Ordinary Mortal. Recent bankruptcy cases in London have brought up various legal decisions which have been reached in England ' on the subject of what are necessaries of life for men of various stutions and degrees who are not in command of their own Incomes. A duke, for Instance, or even a mar¬ quis or an earl is entiUed by law to one bottle of champagne a day if his trustees hold the money to pay for it In the case of the former Duke of Man¬ chester the inw decided that seven bot¬ tles of champagne a week are neces¬ sary to a duke whose affairs may be in the hands of trustees and that if he had not the control of his own income he must be allowed to have a carriage with one horse, a riding horse as well, one manservant and a house with « rent of not less than £250 a year; oth¬ erwise he must be allowed to have the use of £2,000 a year, while the rest might be allowed to accumulate for the good of the estate till the trustee pe¬ riod expired. A viscount or a baron is allowed by law to describe as necessaries things which smaller fry might struggle along without. Ilut a viscount’s income provided there is anybody to pay it—is fixed at £1,500 a year and a baron’s at £1,000. He is, supposing any guard¬ ians have a few thousands a year to pay out to him according to discretion, only entitled to claret as a beverage. for his yearly wine allowance only runs ! to £00, which would not keep him lu i champagne unless he drank it very sel¬ dom. The duke's wine bill may run to £ 150 . The viscount must have a carriage, but it may be attached for debt, and he cannot force bis guardians to give hlm a horse. Of course, if he has no 1 guardians, nor any Income, either, be must do as other people and go with¬ out, but these things are considered necessary to peers. A manservant is i allowed to a viscount or baron, but the house rent need not exceed £200, nor can it be less than £ 150 . A doctor Is better off than a viscount in cne way—his carriage cannot be seized in most cases, nor can the ex¬ penses of it be reckoned in his income | tax returns. In selling up a doctor for debt be may retain one horse, and two of his carpets are considered as neces¬ saries to his business —to the ball and consulting room—and reckoned at £20 apiece. He may have surgical instru¬ ments and medical appliances to the value of £1,000, and these cannot be seized. An ordinary man can retain nothing but his clothes, bis hairbrushes and a few stern necessaries of that kind. No wine is allowed to a doctor, but if a student in the hands of trustees, be can demand a couple of servants and a house rent of £60 per year. The son of a well to do merchant or tradesman making about £1,000 a year can demand neither wine nor horses nor servants, but tbe law may allow him a rent of £50 and another £150 or £200 to keep himself on, supposing lie Is in tbe bands of guardians, whether under or over age. As to debt, he can be sold up, bar his personal necessaries and bis clothes, though he is not gen¬ erally allowed to keep more than six suits of the latter. If be has more a Judge might allow them to be taken with the other chat¬ tels, and be can be left without a ebair to sit on or a spoon to eat with. Jewel¬ ry, If he has any, can be taken; but if he' has, say, two pairs of valuable of sleeve links he can keep only one them. In tbe same way he may keep a dress suit, but if be has two an order may be made to sell up one of them. A lawyer can have 560 books on legal subjects or In some way pertaining to law, and these have to be left alone by the brokers. There are extreme cases In which everything, even necessaries, may be taken, but the lawyer may also demand exemption even in such cases for his wigs, or at least two of them, and two gowns, As a student in the hands of guardians he can make them pay him £80 a year for chambers, and they must pay his examination and other fees. A clergyman or minister of any kind Is worst off of ail and can keep very little for himself, He can make bis guardians come down with the fees his profession needs, however, and if he lives in the country as a curate and has some trustees and also a guardian he can make them supply him with a gardener.

Among the Mainotes, descendants of i the Spartans, thlevim: is considered a very honorable employment, An Eng lish traveler, being entertained at the house of one of the mountaineers, took some silver articles lronx a packing case he had with him to eat his dinner with. At the sight of such costliness an old woman began to cry. the Eng¬ lishman having asked what affected her so much: "Alas, my good sir,” she replied, “I weep because my son Is not here to rob you of those beautiful things!

First Chance in V iears. • For the first time in years, if not since the war, the confederate vet¬ erans of Georgia have the opportu¬ nity of electing an ex-private con¬ federate soldier to the office of gov¬ ernor. In the past a number of confed¬ erate officers have been honored high in politics, but the private sol dier, the man who did the fighting | when fighting was to be done, has 1 been kept in the background. This year Private John Estill is a candidate for the office of gov err, or. He served through the war as One of the rank and file, sharing the fortunes of the foot-sore and ragged boys who handled the guns. The officers over him and his com rades , • state . . that , , better ,, _ in armes _ no soldier ever marched to the front. Would it not be the proper thing for all of the former confederate soldiers—officers and privates, pri vates especially—to unite in tnak frig a governor out of Private J? 5 - till? III the past we have heard much complaint from confederate \eter ans that private soldiers were not put forward for high positions. They have no cause to complain this year, because Hon. J. H. Es¬ till, a private soldier, is in the race for this high office,—Dublin Cour ier-Dispatch. Customs Dodgers Liable to Fine. The customs officers in Atlanta Saturday imposed a fine on a lady m Birmingham for unlawful portations through the mails, and the law in that respect is worth knowing. The importation in ques tion was only a small quantity of Chinese silk but she was compelled to pay a fine not only . equal t . to the duty but to the foreign cost of the goods. receiving Under the law persons merchandise through the mail from foreign countries must submit to having their package held up by the postmaster who in turn informs the customs officer. If the pack age is regular and it is shown that there is no intention to defraud the government it will be released by the customs officers on payment of a fine equal to the duty provided by law. On subsequent importa tions through the mails the ad dressee is forced to pay the origi¬ nal or foreign cost as well as the duty provided by law. Atlanta Journal. A man in Arkansas was recently tried for assault and battery with intent to kill. The state brought into court as the weapons used, a rail, an ax, a gun, a pair of tongs, a saw and file.
