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.

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.

IM EAtSmk* cottMoi &i 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.

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.

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. New King Quality shoes just arrived at Cook’s. 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, Cook has received a large ship¬ ment of shirts.
