“We do not like the proposition
to legalize the carrying of
one,” says the Mac n Telegraph,
“but nevertheless there are
when weapons should be
w hether legal or illegal. Every
woman on every lonely farm in
Georgia ought to be fainilinw with
tho use of a pistol, and she would
do well to carry it in her hand
whenever she has occasion to op-
proach n clump of hushes or
low a lonely path. There are no
tigers or boa-constrictors lurking
in the thickets, but there are hu-
man beasts whoso clutch is to her
more terrible. 5 »
Growth of Insurance.
Atlanta Journal.
Ever sinco tho day when a few
ship began “underwriting I 1
owners
eaclioilier’s vessels at Lloyd’s eof-
foo house, in London, tho idea of
protection by insurance expanded
steadily, until it has permeated
aliuost evory department of hu-
man affiiirs.
In the early days of insurance,
it was objected to by many per¬
sons on moral grounds. This was
especially true of life insurance,
whbli they said, implied the
double sin of gambling on human
life and of tempting the Almighty.
With the gradual comprehen¬
sion of the basic scheme of insur-
mice, this prejudice has died out.
The moral or ethical objections
are now seen to he frivolous, On
the contrary, tho institution of
life insurance is one of the great'
conservative moral forces for the
betterment of mankind. So fur
from being a form of gambling, it
is a scheme of organized thrift.
Gambling is destructive; insur¬
ance is restorative. In a very pop¬
ular class of policies nowadays
evc-n the tontine feature—the only
point connected with insuranco
that savors of hazard—has been
eliminated ; so that the policy be¬
comes in effect merely an improv¬
ed savings bank system, wherein
the holder cannot lose after the
first two payments and must even¬
tually gain. In a word the fun¬
damental thought of modern life
insurance is to make the savings
of prosperity and happiness alle¬
viate tho distress of adversity
and sorrow.
Tho progress of American 1 if<■
insuranco during recent years has
been marvelous. The life insur¬
ance now hold by citizens of tlm
United Status is nearly nine bil¬
lions of dollars.
This is more than thirty-seven
times the entire balance in the
United States treasury. It is nine-
tv times the capitalization of the
Standard Oil Company, and about
fifteen times the total market
value of the Standard Oil shares.
Tho insurance idea has become
one of the great principles of civ¬
ilization. Tho development of
that idea and tho vast energy
which has been expended upon it
by the almost numberless workers
in the insurance field is a phenom¬
enon peculiar to itself. And the
climax is not yet.
Origin ol'“(«r;iss M W illow,
--
“Why should a woman separat-
ed from her hqsband be called a
‘grass widow ?’” asked u young
man of the antiquary . “The term
‘grass willow,’ ” tho lat tor replied,
“has nothing to do with the
age or our lawns, 'Grass’ is a mis-
spelling, sanctioned by custom,
of ‘grace.’ In the past, when
vorces were rare, a woman l.u.lla
rated 1-gully t,„m Ire,-
was called * a ‘viduca \ d 1 gratia 1 V
, by the , Roman „ church, , and
,, French , call it. her . veuve de i .
a grace
The meaning of both terms ■
same—‘widow of grace,’ V o took
the ‘vc-uve’ from the French and
translated it properly into ‘wid¬
ow,’but the ‘grace’ we
rated into our language,
jug ,t in the process. You would
be technically correct in writing
‘grace’ instead ol 'glass widow,
but it is probable that no one
would know what you meant. ’’—

The Haddock School
Colored Children.
| Wo believe that the following
sensihla letter from .I. D. Floyd,
principal of tho Haddock colored
school, will bo read with interest
|, v (|,e thoughtful ones. The
writer undoubtedly has a clear,
I reasonable 1 , and in fact, the only
idea that, will ever b of benefit to
j his race-in the matter of educa-
I I ion, which is that more
tion should lie given to training
them lo lie u-eftil in an industrial
j way.—En.|
please allow me space in your
paper to say a few words in regard |
to the school wo are building at j
Haddock.
Wo are erecting a 2-story man-
n n l training school for colored
children, and children for the following J
reasons: The in the
f,.rent schools are becoming too
bookish. That is they think
they are not to do anything
that which can be done with the
Some seem to think that
j learning was meant to keep one
j from work, that it entitled them
to sit with folded hands and spend
Hicir time in idleness. Some
teachers even will go into a com-
mnnity and conduct themselves
as if they thought work was a dis-
grace, Thifi is the result of a
purely literary education.
An investigation of tho country
schools will show that about nine-
tenths of the scholars wish to be¬
j come school teachers, 't his is im-
! possible, and therefore the neces-
M *.Y f |,r turning tlieii minds to
oilier things and forcing upon
them tho necessity and import¬
ance of work. This is one of the
reasons why we are attempting to
establish a school of manual train-
ing. We do not hope to accom¬
plish great tilings nt a single leap,
but wo do think that something
can be done by degrees. Our idea
is train the hand as well us the
mind.
You turn n boy out of school
' v 'tb a smattering of hook learn-
»"B nndwhero wiil you find him
later ! l.ouliiig the sheets in cv-
cry body ’b way, playing marbles
around the depots and fighting
generally, and giving tho store-
keepers trouble. They think they
are \ too n ico - 4 to go to 4 the 4 held . | j or
any other place where there
work to bo ( 1 : no. Eventual I v you
wilt liud them drifting away from
homo, sleeping in goods boxes and
the end thev land in the chain-
■
gang.
Ou the other hand, train him
to use his hands—to work—and
he will grow to be a worthy citi¬
zen.
Some may criticise the plan and
say the place is too small. But it
should be born in mind that it is
impossible to do anything w ithout
earnest and honest effort. There
are schools of this kind in other
counties and there is no reason
wh v there should not bo one in
this comity. Wo are surrounded
by good white people who want
us to do well. Some have contrib¬
uted to the school. We have the
wishes of them nil. Our
school will this full.
1 would say to the colored peo¬
ple of this county: Don’t com¬
plain so much about the school
appropriation. You got now about
tw ice as much as you pay taxes.

A Dollar for a Kiss.
A young man was hunting in
eastern Tennessee. lie came to a | i
lonely cabin, and being thirsty he
knocked and asked for a drink.
The drink—water—was handed to
him by a girl so charming that,
with a bimle he said.
“Would you ho angry if I should
offer you a dollar fur a kiss?”
“No, sir, ” tlio girl answered,
with a Jit I le blush.
The young man took the kiss,
and then he gave tho maiden the
dollar. She balanced it in her
hand n moment and knitted her
pretty brows in perplexity.
“What, ” she asked, “what shall
I do with nil tins money?”
“Why anything you please,”
said the young fellow.
“Then,” she murmured ( i 1
think I’ll give it back to you and
take another kiss,”

It is rumored tliut Miss Myrtlo
Roxleigh und Mr. Mansworth Me-
Moneys are to bo married this
month. Miss Roxleigh. it will be
remembered, had her maiden
name restored last April, when
she was divorced from Mr. Riel *
nrd Ranks. Before her marriage
to Mr. Books she was Mrs. Wil-
lie Tr'mble, having separated
from Mr. Trimble in order to per-
init him to marry Miss Longroen.
Society will remember with pleas-
urn the'delightful house party
Miss Roxleigh gave before her di-
vorce from her first husband, Mr.
Buffington Spuds and it is hoped
that after her coming marriage
the lady will return to her former
style of entertaining. Mr. Mc.Mon-
eys hus never been married very
much, having been divorced but
twice. His first wife is now the
popular .Mrs. Craighford Ktilling-
ton. The lady who succeeded her
as Mrs. Me. Moneys is, we believe,
engaged to Mr. I.ottson Gabbs,
the latter having figured as the
co-respondent in her divorce case,
which was decided last week.
^ charming wedding breakfast
was given Thursday for Miss Daisy
Scadds, who is now Mis. Fastern
Moses. The function took place
at the country home of her sister,
Mrs. Fleocam Lambs, who was
cllvorced from Mr. Grabbitt Alls-
, ton J list . bofore , . hur , '>^mage to
Mr. Lambs last spring. It was
formally announced during the
breakfast that Mrs, D. Skif-
fington Styles, who is a sister of
Mrs. Lambs and Miss Scads, in¬
tends to apply lor a divorce. The
grounds of complaint were not
mentioned.
The fashionable people are rap¬
idly leaving town for the summer.
Comparatively few of them would
still have their town houses open
if the} were not compelled to re¬
main to look after their divorce
cases. Much complaint against
the slow-going methods of some
of the judges is heard.—Chicago
