A Rhode Island man has advertised in the newspapers of his town that his wife,haviug left his bed and board, ia not to be trusted for goods OQ his account, as he will pay no debts of her contracting. The advertisement seems to have been malicious. Any how, through the same mediums of publicity the wife makes a spirited response. She affirms that nobody in the town would trust anybody t n her husband's account, or even the husband himself; that "it was unnec- cessary for him to announce that he would pay nooe of my debts, since it is notorious that he does not pay his own debts.'' The wife makes further observations on the springless char acter of the bed and the inferior quality of the board which she had left. The case is interesting, because it is obvious that when the martial re lation becomes so strained as these publications suggest the clergy of Rhode Island must find it hard to carry out their resolution to purge their State of the disgrace of divorce. There are other reasons, too, for doubting whether much headway can be made for a movement against easy divorce. The chief of these is the ac ceptance by society (including the Courts) of the commercial view of matrimony. Among the most com mon causes which keep the Courts busy are suits for money compensa tion for breach of promise of marri age and for the alienation of the af ections of wives or husbands. In New York a wife was recently awarded $5000 because her father-in-law had persuaded her husband to leave her. It is true that a higher Court reversed the finding, but only because it had not been proved that the father-in-law had actually in duced the husband to disappear. While the clergy regard marriage as a sacrament, the commercializa tion of the relation seems to be com plete. It is only from a commercial point of view that these suits for money compensation are reasonable. Marriage or an engagement to marry thus appears to be like any other con tract the violation of which admits of valuation in dollars. Divorce, too, is reasonable from this point of veiw, and the States which allow only one cause of divorce (faithlessness to the love which is the basis of marriage under the ecclesiastical idea) have so far failed to conform in their statutes to the sentiment of society and to the practice of the Courts. A society which consents to commercial uniocs must expect, at least, as large a pro portion of defaulters in these as in other business enterprises; and it is oily fair that there should be a rem edy at law for unfulfilled agreements. A reform in the character of the union of man and woman as husband and wife must precede the placing of severe restrictions oa divorce. It cauuot be said that the failure of New York, for example, to make her divorce laws correspond to actual conditions has promoted good morals or sanctified unions which had been based on other considerations than love. The rush of unhappy persons to far Western States for easy di vorce has produced complications that are almost endless in their bad effects. To make the martial relation something higher than a business contract, and to make it indissoluble, there should be instilled into the minds of the people a nobler concep tion of marriage than that which is tolerated now. The work of the clergy for divorce reform should begin with marriage reform. - Brother Dickey's Philosophy. It takes a great deal of strength sometimes to hold one's tongue.

Next in importance to the educa tion of the children of the state comes the care of the convicts, the lunatics and the deaf and the blind. These are charges, fixed charges that rest everywhere upon the citi zen and taxpayer and cannot be avoided. A careful perusal of the last reports of the officers of these institutions give us deep concern for their inmates are increasing fas ter than population and this increase indicates a growing degeneracy in mental, physical or moral condition of our people. These reports give much interesting matter for there is hardly a state in the union where similar institutions are so ably and faithfully officered. We are espe cially fortunate in Laving such a ca pable and experienced man as Dr. Powell at the head of our sanita rium. The apprehension is that when he dies we cannot fill his place for we cannot find a man who has both his ability and his long expe rience. The same can be said of Professor Connor, in charge of the school for the deaf. These two are veterans in the service and have by their long and faithful work allayed all public anxiety about those insti tutions. But why should so many more children be born deaf and dumb than formerly, and why should so many more people become insane? Only a few years ago Professor Connor reported 105, and now he has 215 in charge. Do folks keep on marry ing their cousins and will the law keep on allowing it? As to the san itarium, there seems to be no limit, no diminution ef the rapid increase and as fast as more room is provided more still is wauted. Dr. Powell reports that on Octo ber 1, 1900, there were 1,700 whites and 742 colored on hand, and the new applications now average about six per day. Of course many die and it is a comfort to know that many recover their reason and are discharged. Two hundred and fifty nine whites and ninety-four negroes were discharged last year. One hundred and fifty-six whites and 180 negroes died. The doctor gives pleasant and easy employment to all who can and are willing to work. He is a philosopher of my own kind for he says he has found that work, ma nual labor, is more conducive to re storation and contentment than any other medicine. Gardening, sewing, washing, canning fruits, etc., is done on a large scale. Much more of this is done than formerly and the report shows an immense busi ness. Just think of last year's work 1,000 aprons, 2,000 bedticks, 3,000 chemises, 1.S00 calico dresses, 700 homespun dresses, 4,700 pair draw ers, 4,fj00 pillow cases, 5,000 pair pants, 3,800 shirts, 1,600 undershirts and quilts by the score crazy quilts I suppose making a total of over 50,000 articles made by crazy wo men. Good gracious, what an in dustrious female family the doctor has got. In this way he has greatly reduced the cost of maintenance and brought down the per capita to $117. But on the other hand, he has to be continually repairing or replacing something, for b says "insanity means destruction and that the ten dency of a large number of patients is to destroy furniture, crockery, bedding, clothing, lights, sash and some times tearing their rooms to pieces." Now just imagine what an army of lunatics we have. Car tersville is quite a large little coun try town of 3,500 people, but three fourths of them are children under age. We have only about S00 grown up people who are fit to be lunatics, but here at the sanitarium are three times as many, and the number in creasing every year. But the report of the prison com mission gives us most anxiety, for that concerns crime and involves the safety of our people from the lawless who fear not God nor regard man. The maintenance of the sanitarium costs the state $275,000 annnaliy, but there is one good thing, and only one about the convicts. They cost the state nothing after the trial, but on the contrary they bring in a consider able revenue, and under the new sys tem this revenue is rapidly increas ing. General Evans, Mr. Eason and Mr. Turner inaugurated this system only two years ago and it has already proved a signal success. The state now has the absolute control of all its convicts and has purchased a large farm near Milledgeville, where the old men and the boys and all the women are kept. Under the skilful management of Mr. Foster the farm paid well the first year, and the con victs are nearly as happy as they were in old slavery times. Most of the able bodied convicts are leased to farmers at good prices, but the state provides guarus anu meuicai attention. Here is another army of 2,300 to look after, but these are not all. There are 2,350 more at work in the county chaingangs, making a total of 4.C50, of whom 358 are white, j ten are white women and 215 are ne i gro women. Of the state convicts for felony 907 are guilty of murder or manslaugh ter, 915 for burglary or robbery or larceny, 237 for the usual crime. The rest are for most any other crime in the catalogue. Most of them were laborers, but I note that twenty seven did nothing and eighteen were preachers. Ninety per cent of the negroes are between the ages of fif teen and forty, and knew nothing of slavery. Only 1 percent are the old slaves who are over sixty years old. Two huudred and forty-four of them are serving a second term. Thirty are serving a third term aud a few a fourth and fifth term. They seem to like it. One thousand and twenty of these convicts are from three counties Fulton, Chatham and Bibb. As Thomas Jefferson said, "The influence of cities is pestilential to good morals." It is especially so with negroes. The large majority of the negro convicts are from the cities and large towns. Twenty years ago there were 1,100 negro convicts and 90 per cent of them were wholly illiterate, could neither read nor " write. Now we have 4,300 negro convicts and 54 per cent can read and write. How is that? Does education lessen crime or increase it? Mr. Stetson, the state statistician of Massachusetts, says it "increases crime not a little, but immensely," and he proves it. It certainly does among the negro race in Georgia. It is curious to note that we have two counties in the state White and Gilmer that have no representative among the convicts. There are four counties Towns, Pickeus, Banks and Dawson that have but one each. There are three counties Uniou, Murray and Rabun that have but two each. How is that for good morals in our most northern mountain counties, where the school master has not been abroad in the land to any alarming extent. No, the truth is that education of itself neither lessens nor increases crime. It de pends on the moral training that the boy gets either from his teacher or his parents or his early associates, but if his environments are bad his education makes him a more danger ous citizen, for it enables him to con ceal his crime or to escape from pun ishment in some way. It is like throwing pearls before swine to give j the vile and vicious'an educatiou, but we can't pick them before-hand and so all must have a chance. But if I was a lawmaker I would put some penalties upon bad citizens, upon tho idle and vicious, whether white or black. We do not allow them to have their names in the jury box. They cannot try a man for crime nor set in judgment upon his civil rights. Why should such men be trusted w ith the ballot? Why not let the same commission that makes up the jury box also make up the ballot box? If some good negroes got in and some bad white men were left out it would be rewarding merit and putting a penalty upon bad citi aens. Alabama and Virginia have this question before their conven tions and we hope they will consider it wisely and give encouragement to good citizens, whether they be white or black. Good conduct should be the test. It is more important than education or property. Eet us purge the ballot box just as we do the jury box. Purge it once a 3rear. Put such colored men as Gassett and Joe Brown and Tribble in and leave all such white men as Pat Banks out. Don't shut the door forever on good negroes. By the way, I wish somebody would hunt up our cook and send her home. She is not a "settled 'oman," and is just gallivanting around till her spell is off. I have to get up be fore I feel like it and fire up the stove and then call the girls and they get a good breakfast in half an hour. Biscuit and coffee and hominy and fried eggs and beef steak are good enough for anybody, but I will have to discharge our cook and hire her over again and leave out the spell privilege.

By Iter. Sam P. Jones Cartersville, Ga., July 16, 1901. I arrived home just a week ago after almost constant absence since the first of January, feeble in body and mind, with my constitution and by-laws both out of fix. I have been farming a week and I am greatly im proved by the remedy. What a treat it is to an over-worked man when he is overworked on one line to have other work that is recuperating and helpful to him. I have spent sever al days in the broiling hot sun, in the fields with the hands that were cut ting wheat and oats, plowing corn, sowing peas, etc., getting up at half past four o'clock in the morning and turning into bed at night at 9 o'clock and improving every day with the treatment. Among other things it troubles me to see so many people in trouble. There is hardly an issue of the news papers but what is reported the fact that some man has killed his wife or sweetheart and this afternoon I read that some girl had killed her lover. I never beard of lovers doing so many devilish mean things as they are doing these days. I have heard it said that when love turns to hate it is as dangerous as a rattlesnake, but I can't see how love can turn to hate any more than I can see how water can turn to fire. Some people have just naturally got the devil in them and all you have got to do is to touch them off. The great trouble these days is that very few girls are satisfied with one beau and very few young bucks are satisfied with one sweetheart. The girl that has the most beaux is the most envied by the other girls and I suppose it is the same way with the boys. No wonder they get up a lot of deviltry and somebody gets killed. A sweet, good modest girl with one clever beau never gets killed by her lover and a good, clever boy with a nice clever sweetheart never gets killed by his girl. Farming maybe good for a broken- down preacher and lecturer, but I don't know what sort of medicine to give these devilish young people and there are many of the old people got the devil in them. I know a remedy for all deviltry but the rascals won't take it. They are like a horse with the colic; when you drench him with remedies you have got to swing his head to a limb and put a long-necked bottle down his throat, and he will hold it in his mouth until it strangles him almost to death and then maybe die with the drench cough at last. It is a mighty hard matter to get a dis honest man to take a good dose of Bible honesty; it is a hard matter to get a cussing rascal to pray; it is a mighty hard matter to get a liar to take a big dose of integrity that will cure him; but perhaps the hardest of all is to get a stingy man to take a dose of liberality. There is no disease without its remedy, either moral, intellectual or physical, unless we find cases in the asylums and hospitals that have got ten beyond remedies. When a fellow finds out what is the matter with him and finds out what will cure him, if he don't take the remedy he de serves to die if it is a physical trou ble; he deserves to go to the asylum if it is a mental trouble; he deserves to go to perdition if it is a moral trouble. I leave with wife and daughters for our Kentucky farm to-morrow. We will rusticate and be there a few days and then 1 am of! for my summer chautauqua work. Yours truly, Sam P. Jones The Lire Everlasting. "To test the alleged universal de sire for immortality," states the New York World, "an English society of research has put the question to a considerable number of persons in all walks of life: 4Do you personally crave immortality: u nai is your aspiration, desire and belief as to a future unending existence?' "The old conception of a harp- playing and hymn-singing eternity no longer appeals to the imagination of even the firmest believers in happy immortality. They have sub stituted for it a world of new and boundless opportunities, of 'purified and permanent affections,' a world of solved problems as well as realized ideals, 'where the spirit shall be always willing and the flesh never weak.' "This is beautiful and in a sense alluring, but deep down in the heart of the average toiler and learner is there not a little secret sympathy with the wish of the tired-out, old woman who when she came to die said she would 'like to lie quiet and rest about a thousand years before starting again?'

This is the only point where the disease existed. Two cents was the cause of a mur der in Person county Wednesday evening. Two negro boys, about 12 and 14 years of age and first cousins, had a dispute and the younger one lost his life, being hit in the head with a club. A cutting scrape occurred at Wil son, Saturday morning, between Charles Barber, a colored carpenter, and A. B. Timmons, a colored brick mason, in which the latter was fa tally stabbed. It started over a debt of fl.50 which Timmons owed Bar ber. Frank Holland, of Gwaltney's, near the corner of Alexander, Iredell and Wilkes counties, was accidental ly shot and killed Saturday by the discharge of a small No. 7 target rifle in the hands of W.

The Washington Progress has re ceived information that efforts are being made to organize a stock com pany for the purpose of constructing a trolley railroad around Mattamus keet Lake in Hyde county from Swan Quarter. This line will be about forty-five miles long and will traverse the most fertile farming land in North Carolina. According to the Greenville Reflec tor, a colored man serving a term in Pitt county jail was recently hired out to a farmer. He worked along for a day or two and then failed to show up at his end of the row any more. The farmer started an inquiry after him and found that he had come to town and gone back in jail. The negro said he had rather stay in jail than work. Governor Aycock has again grant ed a respite to Louis Council, the negro sentenced to be hanged at Fayetteville for the crime of rape, committed on Mrs. Lonnie West, at Wade, in Cumberland county, in May, 1900. This time the respite is for seven days and the time of execu tion has been set for Monday, July 22nd. There will positively be no further respite.

For more than half a century this old man, shunning the ways of civilization as much as possible, has clung to the habits of his fore-fathers. Halstead, though not a full-blooded Indian, is said to be a grandson of old Shamung, a great chief whose tribe had its hunting grounds along the banks of the Maur ice river. The grandson of the old chief is a quiet, peaceful sort of a fellow, without kith or kin, and the only liv ing friend he has in the world is his dog Prince, a mongrel. This dog is his sole companion. Dan Halstead lives with only one ray of hope to brighten his existence that the red man will return some day to reclaim his hunting grounds and that he will then become a true Indian again and adopt the costume and manners of bis race.
