ATLANTA SUSPECTED OF TBICEERY.
The eligibility of Governor McDaniel
is being considerably discussed, and it
is believed that the Atlanta element
will settle on him as the means by
which they can get in a man of tneir
choice—one who can be relied on to
carry out their dirty schemes. The
Atlanta politicians are very tricky, and
the plausibility of their making a tool
of the present Governor in the coming
campaign is unquestioned. Tuere is
ilenty o( good material in other por
tions of the State,, and the people of
Middle, Eastern and Southwestern
Georgia are determined that it shall be
utilized.—Lublin Poet.

WOMAN THE HOME-MAKER.
Tne Utter Helpleaaneao of Man to Fit
Out a Proper Home Without a
Womnn's Help.
T. W, nisttnson la narpet'i Bater.
A single man may havo an estate, a
principality: he can own a great hotel
and fill it with guests; but he cannot
create a homo without a woman to help
him, and that, too, a woman whose
service is not for money. When it
comes to a home there ia not a solitary
dressmaker in the land, ensconced in
across the room and was thrown to tho her little room with her geranium, her
the hip joint, and on account of her cannot completely eclipse him, this be-
ago and feeble condition it is feared ing the result, not of his sins, but of
will .be permanent.—Henry County his sex.
Undoubtedly each reader will think,
or try to think, of some exception to
all this—some single man who is hap
py, some “jolly bachelor,” some
“cheerful widower.” No doubt there
are those who can be happy, especial-
a during the first half of life, without
e sense of home. A, with his wealth
and his paintings, and his yachts and
his delightful monologue; B, with his
perpetual journeyings: C, with his
six dogs, and our hito Cambridge pro
fessor, with that family of hens which
he tended, like a herdsman, with n
long staff, and which he* trained to
take food from stakes stuck in the
ground instead of scratching in tho
flower beds—all these may doubtless
have found a bachelor life not incon
sistent with happinees; but where,
after ail, is the home? Neither yachts,
nor pictures, nor steamer tickets, nor
dogs, nor hens, can supply that.
“Home," says',ths proverb, “is where
the heart is”; but if so no man seems
to have heart enougli to fit out a home
without a woman to help him. A
woman can do it for herself; there lies
her advantage.
It may be harder for a woman to
make money; undoubtedly it is harder.
She makes a dollar perhaps where a
man makes twenty; bat when it comes
to purchasing power her dollar goes
the farthest toward the maintenance
ot a home. So long as she retains it
she is strong and self-respecting, and
even if she parts with it, so strong is
tho instinct of home that she can some
times reconstruct it for herself, even in
a boarding house. If the home is
combined with a little freedom in the
usKof money, it gives more comfort
and more local prestige than a lone
man can win by a fortune. What
would be the social condition of any
country village in oar Atlantic States
without a first class maiden lady? She
is the daughter of “old ’squire” some
body, or of “parson” somebody else;
she lives in the great, square house,
with its elms and its white lilacs and
A Locomotive*. Fire Put Out by Rain,
Capt. James McNeil was on the train
between Atlanta and Macon on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad, near McDonough, one day

He says the rain was so great that the
waters on a lovel railroad track reached
the fire-box of the engine, extinguish
ing the fire and and stopped the train,
cansing a delay of at least one hour.—

In a certain backwoods community

pression in the community waa that he
bad stolen the cow, and pablie senti
ment was strongly against him. The
unfortunate fellow sent to a neighbor
ing town for a lawyer, and when his
trial came np he was represented by
able counsel. The Justice looked upon
the lasryer with suspicion and seemed to
feel that his presence waa entirely un
necessary. lie assumed an unusual of
amount of dignity and called the court
to order. Having been in the Superior
Court a few times he had caught an
idea of how criminals were tried there,
■o he arraigned the prisoner and de
manded “guilty or not guilty?” The
prisoner responded, “not gnilty,”
whereupon the Justice looked him
squarely in the face and said, “Now,
see here, yon know that’s as black a
iio ns you ever told.” The lawyer sug
gested that the court should not pass
judgment before hearing the evidence.
The court intimated mildly that he
knew his own business and needed
no assistance. As soon as the evi
dence was concluded the Jus
tice proceeded to pass judgment.
"Stand up," be said to the prisoner.
“It is ordered by the court that the de
fendant be confined in the chain-gang
at hard labor for twelva months."
"Hold on, your honor,” said tho law
yer, "yon have no jurisdiction to pass
such a sentence as that. Yon can only
bind the prisoner over to answer for
the crime at the Superior Court. You
have no right to sentence him to the
chain-gang.” “Now, see here, yonng
man, this coart thinks she knows her
self,and will stand yon in hand to keep

pieces of rock and clay and had them
analyzed by a chemist in Eufanla, and
also by the State chemist. Both said
that 33 per cent, was phosphate. Dr.
Copeland visited the plantation yes

Ancient Styles In Dressing Hair,
Magaxln, ol Art.
A rather curious arrangement of tho
hair came into vogue in 1330. The
hair was parted in the middle, two
verv- short locks being made to curve
out on either side of the forehead; tho
two hind plaits were then crossed and
then brought under the ears up the
sides of the face, being fastened among
the hair which hung loosely on tho
side of head. In 1340 tho two plaits
were carried up the sides of tho face,
having between them and the checks n
long piece of straight cut squarely to
the length of the plaits. This fashion
produces a very stiff and ugly result,

for itself, bat it extends Its potency
over all other home*. What, compar
ed to this, is the social position given
by wealth to the lonely old bacheTor of
the country village? Though he be a
millionaire, ho la simply “the old
baeh.”
The truth ia that as people grow old
or it is the man who becomes depend
ent, and the woman the central and
essential figure of the household, since
she can do withonf him and he cannot
without her. The proof of this lies In
the tact that we see all around us self-
sufficing and contented households of
women, while a boose that contains
men only ia a barrack, not a home.
In youth it la easy to ignore, to say
with Shakspoare in Henry V.:
'Tlx ever corn mow.
That non are merttoat whoa away from home:
but tha merriment is shallow, the
laugh is forced, and years and sorrow
soon bring him back, a repentant prod
igal, to his home and to woman, the
only home-maker.
