Considerable interest is being manifested in the result of the hear ing of the court house removal ques tion which is now pending in the Supreme Court of the state. Al though the question was argued be fore the court more than five weeks ago, n decision has not yet been an nounced. Tins is taken ns au indi cation that tbe question is puzzling tbe minds of tbe court, A request was tnado that the decision be ren dered as soon as possible in order that work might be started either in the one direction or the other. An Exchange Bays.—The young man who would attain success in this oenlury must bo prepared for it by special training and such practical education as lias never before been demanded in the history of the world, says Success. The tendency in every lino of endeavor is towards neutral isation, toward great combinations of interest, and the men who would ulinih up to the head of affairs, or to responsible positions, must be specia lists. There will be little hope in this century for the jaok-ot all-trades. A man must know how to do some one thing effectually or he will ' not rise. On the other hand, the prizes were never before so great, nor the. opportunities so proniiing, for the men wiio have been trained to do one thing well. Those who know a little of everything, hut have not been trained to do one tiling effectively, will not Vie relegatud to mediocre po sitions. i lull lias a number of strong supports a in both the house and the senate, among tlieiu is Seab Wright the author of the bill. From the present outlook it is very propable that, the measure as it stands amend ed by llo' senate will pass both brunches ot the legislature and will receive the Governor’s signature. The supporters of the measure con tend that it is the only solution of the liquor question. Those who op pose the passage of the bill as «,:rt that it will be no improvement upon the present local option laws, but ou the contrary will be an in crease of drunkenness, vice and crime. Although there are some of the staunch prohibitionists who claim that the measure is a compromise, the hill has received the voles of great manv of those who have here, tofore been aligucd on the side of prohibition. There were several important amendments to the bill made by the senate, one of which provides that an election might be called on a peti lion of one-third of the qualified ters of a county instead of one- fifth, as in the house bill and one tenth as in the presei t local option measure- Another important amendment provides tiiat tiie measure shall not effect any dispensary already estab lished by act of the legislature, and that in towns ot 5,000 inhabitants or more the dispensary commissioners may establish as many dispensaries as they deem necessary for the conve nience of (he public. Much has been said on the subject from the pulpit—some denouncing tbe move, others saying let it pass and accept it as the best thing for temperance under tile circumstances Grenada DRUG COMPANY U IKC ORPORA TED” W.

CROPS IN GOOD CONDITION Savnimah, Nov. 22— Although the farms adjoining Savannah have keen visited several times by frost, and though tee mercury fell below the freezing point on the 17th, the far mere report that none of their crops have been damaged. The only crops affected are the tops of the sweet pototoes aud the Irish potanes-though the tubers them selves were not affeeted-and the snap beans, ol which nearly all had been picked before tbe cold weather came On the whole, said Mr. M. L. Exley, the fall, with the exception of the drought, has been an excellent one for the truck growers. Continuing he said that the only crops that can be hurt now arc the cabbages, beets and turnips but that all of these are tuirly hardy and will not be hurt to any extent unless the thermometer should go below 20 degrees. The weather so far this month has been about normal, the average mean temperature being slightly in excess of 59 degress- The highest point re corded during the mouth was 81 de« grees, on the 1st, aud the lowest, 31 on the 17th. The rainfall, to date, .98 of an inch, a deficiency ot slight ly over 1 inch. The maximum tern parature yesterday was 5tl degrees and the minimum 36, making a mean of 46 degrees, 8 below the normal. The latest fad among New York 400 is said to be a *‘sun parlor” and the Atlanta Constitution points out au advantage in the tact that the fellow who is unable to have a “sun parlor” in his house, may make oue in his back yard.
