appearance be was as ugly as a boy
could be. His nose was large and
bis lips thick. His mouth hung
open continually and he wore a
broad grin on his face all the time.
But in body he was especially well
made. He had broad shoulders and
strong arms. His legs were like
black-jack poets. W hen the boy of
the ueigbboihood spoke ot Tommie
Slick thev said he was a hardlook
ing nut. Truly he was. He grinned
so much that all the boys asked htm
if his dog was dead. Me always an
e(wered in a polite manner by cons
linuing to grin and say nothing.
Tommie Slick's home, when a
boy, was a beautiful place. His fa"
iher owned many acres of fine farm
ing lands. And in the center of bis
immense laim a large old-time
dwelling-bouse, that bad stood for
years, was surrounded by a beauti
ful grove of oaks. Near the house
was a well ot the best and purest
water to be found in the country. A
lew hundred yards away stood sn
old log house that was large and
roomy. When Tommie Slick was
a baby the lot ot this barn was fill
ad with mules and horses by day and
with cows and sheep by n gbi. At
night, the mules and horses were

That morning Tom went in hall
scared to death. ' He was rather
pale and excited. Tie knew A his a,
b, c's off by heart but that was all
he knew in books. The whole
school turned to Tom. There be
stood, a little- tquattybuilt lellow
with freckled face and glittering
eve. His face was rather dirty and
his clothes not clean. He looked as
meek as a lamb. The teacher heard
him recite and then gave him a seat.
During the day Tom recited about
three timts and in the afternoon
when i be last lesson was over he
got permission from the teacher to
go to the rear end of the long
schoolbouse. Tom walked back to
the door in the end of the bouse
and pltc.d a band on each side of
the door facing.
The scooi-house was still except
the rattling of the slate pencils. Ev
ery body was ciphering. That was the
cub om in those days. Iu the morn
ings, geography, grammar, latin
and the like would come, aud in the
afternoons, arithmetic occupied
the minds of the pupils. This was
a busy afternoon. On the outside

Atlanta, Ga., Octf 8 Advices
received in Atlanta up to midnighs
from combined official and unofficial
sources fix tbe total Democratic ma
jority at 36,129 This estimate it
based upon tbe vote for Atkinson
for Governor, which is in many
cases less than that cast for tbe
other State official?. It is not be
lieved that the final returnB will ma
terially change this estimate. The
Legislature is almost solidly Demo
cratic in both branches, insuring
practically the unanimcu election
of ex-Speaker Crisp to the Senate to
succeed Senator Gordon.
Two constitutional amendments
were voted on and both were car
ried overwhelmingly. One is to
provide for ibe increase of the Su
preme Court from three to six jus
tices and to provide for their elec
tion by the people. The other is to
make the Stale School Commission
er elective.
The official returns from McDuffie
county, the home of Thomas E.
Watson, show that the Populists
have carried it by 504 majority.
Seaborn Wright, the Populist candi
date tor Governor, carries his home
county, Gloyd a former Democrat
ic stronghold by 200 majority.
Cobb connty, tbe home of Demo
cratic Chairman Ciay, reported last
night 800 Democratic majority,
shows only 590 Democratic majori
ty this afternoon.

Democratic majority. Chairman
Cunningham said at ll o'clock tbt
Wright, Populist candidate lor Gov

mannfaeture A exeat Dart of the
change is due to those resistless
laws of supply and demand, which
take heat where it is wanted and
gold where it is wanted. India is

glass blowers in Anjou. DuMau
rier's mother was an English-woman,
and tbechild who was destined
to have such an influence on the
art and literature of his time was
born io Paris, March 6, 1834, at a
little house in tbe Cnamps Eiynees.
In 1836 DuMau ler's parents took
him tn Belgium, and when he was
five years old tbe family removed to
London, where they lived in a houe
afterward ocounied by Charles
Dickens. The elder DuMaurier was
evidently of a roving disposition,
because he soon tired of England
and moved to Boulogne. At the age
ot thirteen DuMaurier went, to
school to a man named Froussard,
but he did not distinguish himself,
being refused his baccalaureate de
gree when be was seventeen yeats
