Very few people in the civilized i
world so utterly disregard the source '
auu sustajner 01 trie civilization ty
l
wnicn itiev are surrounded as not to
nit the importance of education in '
gerer?! ard we hope none are so
Diina to tneir own mental and mate
rial good as to oppose the education of
their own and their neighbors' chil
dren. The last half century, irler
rupted'only by the war, has. indeed
been an educational era. The lew
opposers of general education have
long since been silenced by enlighten
ed public opinion, and to day the
cry is for education, and higher edu
cation, losatisiv this eeneral de
mand schools have sprung up all over
our land, great universities have been
been established, ,and all enlightened
and patriotic citizens have looked on
with interest, knowing that with bet
ter schools we will have higher edu
cation and with higher education.
higher civilization and greater pros
perity. During this schpol era the people
of Wilson have, not been idle. . Wil
has never been slow to recognize the
great advantages of education, nor
has she been niggardly in what she
has done to secure them. Go back
asMar as you may in the history of
vv uson, and you will find few, if any,
times when our schools did not com
pare favorably with those of other
towns. While this is, and ol right
should be, a matter of pride to our
citizens, it should not stop there we
should strive to excel our neighbors.
All remember our Graded shool of
a few years ago, which was the pride
and blessing of our town. What is
there more in its favor than the fact
than that as soon as the people real
ized their loss, they immediately be
gan to rebuild it, and now it is fast
approaching its former proportions.
Wilson has also had many good high
schools, the last of which, the Wilson
Collegiate Institute, was a blessing to
our town and honor to our State. Eut
Providence has removed its efficient
leader, tnd now Wilson has only the
Graded s:hool to depend on for the
education 'of her son's and daughters.
What is needed? Do we need a
school to compete with the Graded
school? No, not that. . But no one
claims for the Graded school any thing
more than a good preparatory
school, and the need of the town is a
high school in which students may
enter after completing the Graded
school course the one supplement
ing the other. There is always a
circle ol higher refinement and intel
lectuality radiating from a good col
lege, but this is by no means the only
reason why one should be established
here. The material benefit alone, to
say nothing' of the many other rea
sons, would justify its establishment.
Any one acquainted with the town
can easily reckon at least twenty boys
and girls of Wilson, who are regular
ly attending school in other towns.
These students are each paving out
from two to three hundred dollars a
year, making about rive thousand
dollars which is. carried away from
Wilson by twenty students alone.
Why should this state of affairs con
tinue? Why should not Wilson have
a good college, thereby not only sav
ing many thousands of dollars, which
would be brought here from other
places? The citizens of Wilson need
tmJy to open their eyes to their own
interests and some of the old time
school1 enthusiasm to build up a
school which would be a pride and
an honor to our community.
Where will vou find a better town
lor a school than Wilson, and where
is better site than the Warren prop- j
erty ? It is the very place for a large j
co-educational college. The old idea-, j
which so long prevailed, that boys ,
and girls while procuring an educa- !
tion, 1 should not be allowed to see 1
one another is fast being driven out
by more advanced educational meth
ods and "is being replaced by the
broader and more generous ideas of
co-education of the sexes. Many of
our best universities and colleges are
opening their doors to "tooth sexes
alike, and why should they not ?
When we admit" that woman should
receive as high an education as man
and since she is to be his companion
through life, why should they be
separated during their school days ?
Let the town secure ard control
this orooertv. let her citizens unite
and build up a school .which shall be
the pride of our community.an honor
to our State, rising as a heavenly lu
njinjuy, giving light.hberty and pros- j
penty to all upon whom its bright
rays may fall.- Daily Star.
Investigation Invited.
Of course it is proper to inquire about
what any man says. Is it true ?
The most rigid investigation is in"
vited into the testimonials published in
behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Special
attention is called to the high character
of the persons whose testimonials are
published by the proprietors of this
medicine, as evidenced by their occu
paiions or indorsements. In fact, no
matter where a testimonial n behalf of
Hood's Sarsaparilla may be from, it is
reliable and as worthy of confidence as
if it came from your most trusted neigh
bor. '
Fraukhnton Searchlight: From the
preset outlook we will have more home
made bacon in Franklin county than
any year since the war, a great many
of our citizens" in tow n are trying to
raise meat enough for their own use.
n I O OTH E R Sarsaparilla has the
merit to secure the confidence of
entire communities and hold it year after
year, like HOOD'S Sarsaparilla.

Denver. Col., August 13. The relay
raw of the L. A. Wwas finished last
night at 10:37 six days, ten hours and
seventeen minutes from Washington.
The. signal rocket at Sand Creek, five
and three-fourth miles distant, went up
at 10:24 and the fcheering of the wait
ing crowds that line'd thje streets soon
heralded the oncoming pf the wheel
men. The riders on the last section,
George L. McCarthy and George W.
Hart came in or. Arapahoe street to the
coi ner of 10th and from there up 16th
to the county court house where an im
mense throng had been patiently wait
ing since 5 o'clock. The Governor re
ceived the pouch and took from it the
messages rending the one to himself and
his telegraphic reply, and. handed a
message to General MeCook and one to
Mr. Itlack, who had charge of the race
from Washington, from representative
Springer. -
The Governor then said ; "Mr. George
McCarthy. as the Governor of Colorado,
I desire to thank you for the delivery of
this autograph letter which was placed
in the hands of the first relay wheel
man at Washington August 6th, at 12
o'clock noon by the private secretary of
the President of the United States. In
future years it will be a matter of pride
to you and your fellow-bicyclists that
you had a part in this grand achievement
and in helping to make this wonderful
record of the skill and speed of the
American wheelmen. (Applause.)
Turning- to Mr. A. D. Black, of Jack
sonville. 111., of the L. A. W., the Gov
ernor said : "It is my pleasant duty to
congratulate you, Mr. Black, as the
manager and promoter of this great
enterprise upon its auspicious termina
tion. .
"You have aroused a new interest in
that beneficent invention the wheel,
which has already produced so extraor
dinary a change in locomotion. The
fact is the wheel is the greatest inven
tion of modern times. (Applause.)
Wheels in the head always excepted."
(Laughter.)
General McCook then read his reply
to General Greeley, after which the
crowd slowly dispersed. 1 . ,

riERMOsn.LO, Mexico. August 13. The
forces of government soldiers sent out
against the Yaqui Indians have met de
feat in all attacks so far made, and the
Indians, eruboldeited bytheir success.es
are committing depredations upon the
unprotected ranchmen. A courier has
arrived here bringing news of an en

near the village of Chiltepines recently,
which resulted in fifteen soldiers being

The Indians lost about ten killed. The
Indians ambushed the soldiers and

SUNDAY WITH THE HONORABLES
Caucus?. Oonfereijoen and a General Busy
Day for th TaVllT Managers.
Washinoton, August 13. Sunday'was
anything but a day of rest for the tariff
leaders. It was a day of conferences at
the White house, at the private resi
dences and at the hotels. Secretary
Carlisle was'with President Cleveland
throughout the afternoon. The senate
and house conferees made no efftfrt to
get together, and they remain as far
apart as when their meeting broke up
on Friday night. The house conferees
were in consultation informally most of
the day, although at no time were they
all together at once. Chairman Wilson
Spent- the - day with Representative 1 determined opposition to all centralizing ten
,. ., . , ti dencies : a strict adherence to the doctrine of
Breekinndge, of Arkansas, at. the 'Je- local self-government, and of the rights of each
manoie hotel, and was there called
upon by other conferees. Mr. Wilson
did not see the president yesterday.
The meeting of the house men brought
about a thorough understanding among
them as to the line of action at the
caucus today . and in the subsequent
proceedings of the senate and house.
They reviewed the situation from every
possible standpoint and prepared them
selves for all emergencies. ' As one of
them said last night, it was like going
over the field of battle and learning tke
topography of the ground on the night
before the great fight.
At the outset the house conferees sat
isfied themselves of the parliamentary
situation of the bill. This was done
with great care as to securing an accu
rate and authoritative decision. Speak
er Crisp had been asked to examine
with care the precedent bearing on
the case, and H was understood that he
had in turn consulted with Secretary
Carlisle, who, as an ex-speaker of the
house of representatives, is regarded a
one of the best authorities on parlia
mentary proeeedure. From the exami
nation which had been made the con
ferees were fully satisfied that the
honse of representatives had the right
to pass the senate bill now or at any j
other time. This decision went much
further than has heretofore been un-j
derstood. It was decided that the house '
having the actual physical possession
of the tariff bill, could pass it with the
senate amendments before the Hill res
olution passed today, or after the Hill
resolution passed or after the Hill reso
lution was defeated. That is, so confi
dent were the house conferees of the
right to pass the bill at any time that
they regarded their rights as entirely
unaffected by anything the senate
could do with the Hill resolution or any
other resolution. They recognized that
there were some precedents ' against
-this position, but :they regarded the
overwhelming force of authority with
them and they therefore accepted it a
setttled that the house had supreme
authority over the bill without refer
ence to what the stMtate might do today
or hereafter. This conclusion was full
of importance in Waring" on the action
of the caucus tor.ay.

The Platform Adopted at the State Conven
tion tn Atlanta.
Atlanta, August 4. The, following
is the platform adopted at the demo
cratic state convention which nomina
ted W. Y. Atkinson f or governor of
Georgia :
"We. the representatives of the democratic
party of Georgia, in convention assembled, de-:
clare our unfaltering faith in the principles
which brought the party into existence under
the wise leadership lot Jefferson, and which
gave victory to the democratic party in 1802,
under the masterly leadership of Grover
Cleveland. We declare anew our devotion to
the fundamental principles of sound democra
cy : that the federal government is one of lim
ited powers derived only from the constitution;
state to govern Itself and exercise all functions
of government not delegated in the constitu
tion to the federal government : taxation only
for the purposes of government honestly ad
ministered ; gold, and silver, the money of the
constitution as primary money ; equal and 1
exact justice to all me&. and the courageous
and faithful discbarge of ofilcial duties.
-"We denounce the socialistic, paternal and
centralizing Ideas now sought to be propagated
in our midst as dangerous and destructive her
esies. ""We hereby approve of and reaffirm our alle
giance to the principles of the Georgia state
platform of 1892. and of the platform of the
democratic party adopted by the national con
vention in 1892, and especially do we insist
upon those parts relating to the tariff and cur
rencv. Uoon the arreat Question of currency.
we reiterate the principles and purposes of j
our national platform endorsed with such un-
paralleled unanimity by the people in 1892.
and urge upon our senators and representa
tives in congress, and upon our president, a i
speedy repeal of the prohibitory tax upon the
issue of state banks.
"We demand the Immediate passage of such
legislation as will restore silver to res consti
tutional position as a money metal, and will
secure at once the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver on parity, and give to every
dollar in circulation, whether coin or paper,
the same debt-paying and purchasing power.
"We further demand a just and equitable
tax on incomes.
"We pledge the democratic party to take such I
steps as will enable the state, when this ques-
Uon does arrive, to dispose of the convicts In ,
ihpIi mnnnpr am tn Ktf.ur thp.m nrnnfir treat 1
ment ana impose upon them legal punishment i
without their becoming a burden to the tax
payers of the state and without permitting j
them to come in competition with free labor.
"The democratic party obligates itself to main- j
tain its system of common schools for the edu- t
cation of all the childscn of the state in the j
elementary branches of an education free, and
to continue to improve the same and increase
the fund as rapidly as the financial condition of j
the people will permit.
"We condemn every form and species of mob ;
violence and lynch law. and appeal to citizens '
of every class and condition to assist in their (
prevention and punishment. j
"We congratulate the entire country upon '
the repeal, by this congress, of the federal elec
tion laws and now urge upon that honorable
body the necessity for the speedy enactment of
the pending tariff bill In such form as will in
sure for it the united support of all democrats,
in both branches of congress, and jts approval
by a democratic executive.
"We esplally commend the president and the
house of representatives and the senators from
Georgia for their patriotic endeavors to have
enacted, as near as possible, a tariff for reve
nue only."

Most of the figures ' used for cigar
store signs, which formerly were made
of wood, are now made of zinc, and 95
per cent, of these are of Indians. Some
of these figures are excellent; in ,some
cases the original model cost 81,200 or
81,500. They are made in various sizes
from a small figure that can be bought
for 825 or 830 up. A good seven-foot

A curious opening, according to
the London Globe, has been found for
the artistic gifts of women. In the
great hospitals, water-color sketches
are taken of rare forms of disease, and
in this somewhat grewsome class of

rented for concerts, theatricals, lectures

and banquets. On an upper floor there
will be rooms to be rented to club mem-

Benjamin H. Wells, a resident of
West Lubec, Me., in eating an orange
several weeks ago, got one of the seeds
lodged in his throat and was unable to
remove it. Lately his thaoat began to
swell, so that it became difficult for
him to breathe. .He obtained medical
advice and was informed that the seed
had sprouted, and must be removed at
once. He went to Boston for a surgical
operation for its removal, but' the re
port was that Mr. Wells can get no re
lief, as the seed, instead of being lodged
in the throat, is in the lungs, and can
not be reached. The Boston physicians
can do nothing for his relief.

To get married seems an easy
thing to the young man whose fan
cy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
But when it comes to the actual cere
mony there are a thousand and . one
terrors which surroun and threat
en to overconie him. Marriage in
some States is easy: in others it is as
difficult as obtaining a divorce.
A well known Philadclphian was
about to be married to a beautifu
young woman who lived in the State
ofDeleware. lie had no idea that
marriage laws of the State were of an
appalling nature. lie had secured
his license, and thought that 'was
all that was necessary.
"Have you filed your bond yet?"
said some one to him the day before
the wedding.
"What?" gasped he.
"Your bond," repeated the ques
tioner. "You know every man who
is mairied in the State has to file a
bond for the protection of the State."
The bridegroom was rather dubi
ous, but was finally persuaded that
this was a fact.
"I'll see a lawyer about it in the
nornmg, said he. bo lie went to a
friend, who was a legal ligtt, and
said;
"See here. They tell me I have
to give abond to the State when I
get married."
Certainly," Haven't you done so?'1
in a surprised way.
. "No. I never heard of such
thing before. What kind of bond
a
is
it?"
"Oh, any real estate will do."
"But I haven't any real estate."
The lawyer looked at him a mo
menL Then he solemnly said:
"Haven't you any friend who owns
property?"
"None that 1 care to ask to bind it
up that way. I can't ask my bride's
relatives, you know.1'
His lriend looked at him pityingly.
"You can't postpone the wedding,
can you?" .
"What?" fairly .shrieked the un
fortunate.
"Of caurse, of course not," said the
legal light soothingly.- Hut the poor
bridegroom looked stricken.
. I'll tell you what I'll do. old man.
I'll tend to the matter lor you. Don't
give yourself any more concern about
it."
The young-man-about-to-be-married
grasped his hand. He could
not speak for a moment, and then lie
poured forth his thanks. I le picked
up his hat in a relieved sort of way
and walked to the door. Then he
turned.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you
how large is the amount of the bond
required?"
"Fifty cents," said the lawyer. .

The Summer vile News tells this
one: "Years -ago an old Hardshell
preacher, who lived on the Ix.rder in
the days when the Indians were : at
war with the whiles, was making
preparations one morning to go to his
church miles away, through a country
infested with savages. 1 le was care
fully loading his old flint lock rille to
take along when a frtend- present re
marked, 4 What are you going to
take that gun along for, old man?
Don't you know that if it is foreor
dained lor the Indians to kill you,
that the gun wont't save you? 'That's
very true,' said the .old man, as he
deliberately rammed the ball home,
'but suppose it is foreordained that
that Indian shall be killed? Now,
how would the Good Lord carry out
his purpose if I didn't have my gun
along?' That was a clincher, and
closed the debate then and there.-'
