"No matter how unroji.-'onable the thing may be on the face of it, if it is the custom, if it has been practiced for years before, the chances are that It will be practiced again, Just for cus tom’s sake. "It was the custom for heathens to cut a hole in their noses and wear nose rings. I am glad to notice that this custom among civilized people to do the same thing with their ears is dy ing out. I think there is* about as much sense in the one as in the other. "It is a custom in China to wear the very tightest fitting shoes, no mat ter how uncomfortable they may be, and in other ways to punish the body in order to have little feet, which is considered one of the first essentials of beauty in the Orient. "It is the custom in this country to take off one’s hat to a lady. If a fel low took off hiu ejat to her he’d land either In the penitentiary cr the luna tic asylum. Like vise, it Is the custom to take a lady by her arm when out with her at night. If a fellow took her by the neck it would be all off. "Last week a negro called a white man, here in Albany, a name which is considered the vilest and most offen sive that. co.dJ be used, and the white man took up a hammer, hit the negro on the hethl and killed him. Nobody in tids section blamed him, I least of all. T fredy confess that under the circumstances I. would have done the same thing. "Yet out west, people call each other that as they greet one another on the street, and ask each other to take a drink with them. It is the custom, but. as raid ‘The Virginian,’ the hero of Owen Wister’s hovel. ‘You must smile when you call me that.’ If said in anger, it'is a3 deadly an Insult In the West as in the South.” "I can’t understand for the life of me.” remarked a gentleman Saturday, "why there should be screens In front of the saloons of this city, or any other, as for tht.t. “I, honestly believe that there is much more drinking going on behind those screens than there would be if the bar was wide open and plainly in view of everybody. “People would not get drunk—that Is. some of them would not—if they knew they might be seen by anybody, ladies and children included. As it is now, occasionally one hears cursing from behind the screens, the offender realizing that no one can know who is doing it. Without the screens, this would not do. "Without the screens, a man could tell whether his boy, who might be a minor, was drinking. There are a number of advantages to saloons with out screens. I can see, also, advan tages in the present system.”, In order that there may be no doubt, the writer wishes it known that all the statements and opinions reproduced in the "Idle Vein” column in the form of Interviews are not necessaiilyNion- ourred in by him. Those, therefore, whip have their hammers out for the "Idle Vein” man . will kindly replace them in the tool chests. I fit the masses with scientific fitted glasses. See Dr. C. I. Hutchason.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 30. — Alderman Key, who has long been known as one of the leaders in municipal reform movements dn so far as they affect the ( conduct of the official business of At- j lanta, desires reform in the method of -making out the vouchers and payrolls in the department of public works, of which H. L. Collier is the head. Mr. 1 Key is chairman of the street commit tee. He will ask the finance commit- i tee of council to rearrange the appor- ■ tlonment made to the public works de partment. Key objects to what he terms "kiting” in the department, in that money for payrolls is charged up to the streets, ordinary, chert, stone, sewer repairs, general expenses and payroll funds. He declares that money for all payrolls must be paid out of the payroll fund. Key Is being backed In his contention by Mayor Wood ward. Perfection can only be attained in the physical by allowing Nature to own resources. Cathartics gripe, weaken — dissipate — while DeWltt’s Little Early Risers simply expel all putrid matter and bile, thus allowing the liver to assume normal activity. Good for the complexion.

Prices are good, and the supply is not plentiful. A well-known farmer who was in town this morning with a two-horse wagon load of yellow yams found many parties who were ready to buy, and had no difficulty In getting rid of his entire supply. He stated that he could have disposed of several hun dred more bushels had he had them to offer. i Extra fancy Lemons, 30c doz.; large sweet Florida Orangds, 30c doz. Phone 70. W. E. FIELDS.

A number of arrests have been made during the last few days by Sheriff Ed wards and other officers as the result of contract-jumping. At this season of the year, when ne groes are making their arrangements for work on the farms, at turpentine stills and elsewhere, contract-jumping Is of almost daily occurrence, and many cases are reported to the of ficers in the course of a week. Yes terday five or six arrests were made, \ and the officers are op the lookout j for other offenders who ere for th(J~ present making themselves scarce. | It is very annoying for a farmer or other person employing laborers to make arrangements for the season, and after advancing money to the hands with whom he has contracted, have them skip out. And it is per fectly natural for sufferers in such cases to call the law down upon the heads of offenders. TO OPEN BIDS FOR HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY.
