NO . DRUNKENNESS
' ON HIGHWAYS.
A Misdemeanor For One to be
Dunk or Disorderly
in Public.
One of the very 1 est measures
enacted by the legislature was that
making it u mi-demeanor for one
to be drunk or disorderly in public
Such a state law has long been
n oded ami will go fur towards in
d icing sobrity. The new law will
n >t intern re wilh the en
f >r cement ot the ordiuuuee of mu¬
nicipalities directed ut disorderly
conduct and drunl enness. In
other words, u defendant who lias
bee am s ed a i d punished f r dn
orderly conduct or drunkenm ss in
a city sha’l not jc liable to prose¬
cution in the state courts for ilie
s une cff'i se. It gives the cities
the right to continue in force ihe
ouhnut.ee i.ow up* n iln-ir f-t.-ti.t*
books. But the new l.»w makes
drunkenness on any public street
or highway, < r sheet our, < r rail¬
road cur—any public place * uuidt
of ciiies or towns or jiila.es, aj
mi-denu ai.or, provided ihe drill k
enin'ss is accompanied by boister
ous or diSoideriy or ind-ceiit con
duct, or vul.aror profane lungusg
or loud, violent disci ur.-e.

Mixed.
Story sent in : A young man not
a thousand miles lrom here went
with his sister to a dry goods store.
He purchased a pair ot gloves for
his sweetheart. The sister bought
a pair of.hose for herself. Of course
the clerk got them mixed. The
explosion came when the sweet¬
heart opened the package and
found a long pair of black stock¬
ings. She blushed. Then she
opened the note and read the fol¬
lowing tender lines : “lam send¬
ing you a little present. Oh, !,ow
1 wish that no other hands than
mine would ever be permitted to
touch them after you have put
them on. But, alas, a score of
fellows may touch them when I
am not bv your side, other eyes
may see them when you are ou the
streets or at parties. I bought the
longest pair I could get, and if the.f
are too long you may let them
wrinkle down, A great many girls
I know- wear them slipped down a

A Big Rally.
The seventh annual rally in
Rocky Plains district came off’ at
County Line church last Wednes
da y* 11 wa3 a maiked success in
every way.
Mr. It. L Cowan’s warm wel¬
come addres* made all feel glad
they were there. He said there
would be music by the choir, but
lie suspected that some solos,
sting so low by couples of young
men and maidens that only they
could hear, would be enjoyed
most.
Col. R. W. Milner captivated
the audience by his excellent
speech to the children. He prais¬
ed the country boy and said that
nearly all the men of note in the
world were once barefooted coun¬
try boy 9.
The County School Comm si
ioner made a strong appeal for
manual truing in the publics'*ho< 1
He suid the human hand was the
most perfect machine ever devised
and gave some examples of how
unfortunate were those who had
not trained their hands.
The gladdest hour of all the day
came when we were invited to
tables grouping under their bur¬
dens of the choicest tempting
viands. 'The multitude of at
least 1,500 people were all well fed
and fully twelve baskets-full left
on the tables.
First after the noon hour came
Col. L. L. Middlebrook with his
good cheer. He compared the so
called good old times, when the
young people have to make love
before the old folks, with the bet¬
ter present when lovers alone in
the moonlight realize “How silver
sweet sunned lovers’ tongues. > y
Prof. Cooley who followed Col.
Aliddlebrook was in his happiest,
wittiest vein He made a strong
appeal for local taxation and made
a fine impression.
The music for the occasion was
one of the most enjoyable features.
The choir was c imposed of the
best singers of the district led by
Messrs Piper and Penuington. Mr.
Corley of Covington added much
to the music by playing his cornet.
This day was well spent. * * *
Cured of Bright’s Disease.
Mr. Robert 0. Burke, Elnora, N. Y,
writes: “Before I started to use Fuley’s
Kidney Cure I had to get up from twelve
to twenty times a night and I was bloat¬
ed up with dropsy and my eyesight was
so impaired I could scarcely see one of
my family across the room. I had given
up hope of living when a friend recom¬
mended Foley’s Kidney Cure- One 50c
cent bottle worked wonders and before
I had taken the third bottle the dropsy
had gone, as well as all other symptoms
or Bright’s disease.

VARIOUS LOSSES
TO COTTON CROP.
-*—
! Shedding, Rust, Premature Op
en j n g an ^ Rotting Bolls
jn Many states.
Washington, Aug. 29.—The
weather bureau's weekly summary
of crop conditions says:
In some n irtheastern counties
of Texas in Arkansas and in por¬
tions of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia improvement in the con¬
dition of cotton is indicated, and
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory
and Missouri the crop is in fair to
good condition ; elsewhere cotton
has notmiade favorable progress.
Complaints of Shedding are re¬
ceived from every state, of rust
from the eastern districts, of pre¬
mature opening from Texas, Ar¬
kansas and North Carolina, Geor¬
gia and Mississippi. The bolls
are opening rapidly throughout
the belt and picking is in progress
in all but the northerly districts.
Tobacco has suffered from wef
weather in portions of Kentucky
and in Virginia and Maryland but
in the first mentioned state has
generally made good progress. A
good crop is promised io Pennsyl¬
vania, New York and New Eng¬
land. Cutting is general.

For Better Schools.
The new law providing for the
creation uud operation of local tax
district schools, approved, July 28,
provides the machinery by means
of which any school district so de¬
siring may supplement by local
taxation its schools fund received
from the state and thus secure im¬
proved schools and lengthened
school terms. The law is simple
and direct. Elections are to be
called upon the petition of one
fourth of the voters of the district.
Two-thirds of the votes cast in the
election are necessary to the suc¬
cess of the proposition to levy the
special tax. Three district trus¬
tees are to be elected at the same
time that the ballot on the propo¬
sition is taken, the trustees to hold
office for one, two and three years
respectively. The trustees are to
be under the direction of the coun¬
ty Board of Education. Only
those qualified to vote in the regu¬
lar elections may vote at the spec¬
ial election. While it is the pur¬
pose and spirit of the new law to
encourage individual action and
local self-help, it is expressly stat¬
ed in the act that the general
school laws of the state as admin¬
istered by the county boards of
education shall be observed.
That, in brief, is a rough out¬
line of the law. It permits the
voters of any district to provide
themselves with the kind of school
they would bke to have; and it
tndy safely be said that a large
number of districts and commun¬
ities will be prompt to take ad¬
vantage of it. And the tax will
be cheerfully paid. There j* no
public institution that is closer to
the family than the school, and
parents do not mind giving up a
few dollars a year in extra taxation
when they know and see that their
children are deriving great benefit
from the expenditure. We expect
to see not only a number of local
tax district schools established,
but also several consolidated
schools in the country districts.
Those interested in the work of
the schools should lose no time in
getting to work on the local tux
proposition. All that is necessary
to sef the movement going is to
get up a petition signed by one- |
fourth of the voters of a district
and send it to the ordinary of the
county, and he will order the
election,
