The Gazette regrets very much to chronicle In to-day s issue the fact that our neighboring town of Stan ley voted down a proposition to law a RDeclal school tax. According to the Information from our corres pondent this means that the term of the Stanley public school will be re duced from elKht months to four months or less. This is a decided backward step. We believe, howev er. that our good Stanley friends will find, after Duttlng up with ft for one tour-months school term year, that It does not pay and that they will later redeem themselves by voting the tax. We are publishing another item of news in today's is sue, that from Bessemer City, route one, which Is most encouraging and denotes that the people oj the Sun nyside school district are thorough ly alive to the necessity of a longer school term. With an almost unan imous vote they levied a Bpecial tax of 30 cents on the $100 worth of property and 90 cents on the poll for school purposes. They are to be congratulated on this forward move and we feel sure that they will nev er regret the step they have taken in this direction. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Glenn and child left yesterday morning for their home at McComb City, Miss., after spending a week or more here with homefolks and frlenda. Next Session of Southern Textile As sociation Meets July 2nd Pro gram for the Meeting. Mill News. Preparations for the next meeting of the Southern Textile Association to be held in Augusta on Saturday, July 2nd, are now well under way. and the Drosnects seem favorable for making this a most pleasant and profitable occasion for all who, can possibly make their arrangements to attend. The editor of the Mill News who happens, also to occupy the position of assistant secretary of the associa tion had the pleasure of meeting with many of the superintendents and overseers of the mills in and near Augusta last week, and was pleased to find them generally much interested in the aims and objects of the organization and especially anx ious to make this meeting a grand success. At a meeting of the local mill men called by the secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce at 12 o'clock last Saturday a committee consisting of Superintendents Arthur T. Smith, of Langley, A. H. McCarrel. of Bath, C. M. Harrington, of the King Mill, S. B. Piatt, of the Sibley and G. I. L,yncn, or me Enterprise .Mill, were appointed to confer with the officers of the association and arrange all necessary details while Mr. Loyless, chairman of the entertainment com mittee of the Chamber of Com merce, who was present assured them that he would see that the funds for the purpose would be provided. The committee of superintendents organized at once and after a brief discussion of various propositions they agreed unanimously to recom mend the following as the order of the day: Meeting to he called at 12 noon at Lakewood Park, a beautiful pleas ure resort easily reached by trolley line, where the sessions may be held n the open air or under cover, ac cording to the weather. To adjourn at 1 p. m, for barbecue dinner. Re-assemble at 2:30 p. m. for reading of papers, discussions, etc. Adjournment at 4 p. m. for trol ley ride, etc. Evening meeting at 8 p. m. at Chamber of Commerce for the com pletion of any unfinished business, to be followed by a smoker, light re freshments and speeches. This order of exercises has since been submitted to the program com mittee, and will be followed as near ly as possible. Augusta is a fine old ' city of pleasant homes, broad streets, pro gressive business men and splendid advantages for manufacturing, all of which the couuiUcv in will strive to duly Impress upon the mem bers of the association and others who may be present at the meeting. The proprietors of the several ho tels also promise to do all in their power to make our stay In Augusta pleasant, and quote u rates! as fol lows: The Albion, on Broad, street, near the monument, directly oppo site the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, $4.00 with bath room at tached or $3.00 without Vrhls In eludes meals and they are not' pre pared to make rates on rooms' with out meals. 1 , The Geneska, which is, also, near the monument, is conducted strict ly on the European plan with rates of $1.00 to $2.00 for room only, and the new Planters will make rates of 50 to 75 cents per night. WHO MAY BECOME MEMBERS? Section 20 of the constitution and by-laws of the association reads as follows: Persons eligible for active membership shall be qualified super intendents, assistant superintend ents, overseers of the various de partments, master mechanics, chief engineers, electricians, representa tives of textile papers and instruc tors In textile schools. Sec. 21 provides for the issuance of certificates for "associate mem bers," who may be entitled to be present at all social meetings but not at business meetings; and it may be explained that this -was Intended to open the doors to the manufac turers and salesmen of mill machin ery and supplies, and any others who are sufficiently interested to attend and pay their membership fee. COST OF MEMBERSHIP. The dues have been fixed for the present at $1.00 per annum and blanks will be mailed promptly to those desiring to become members on application to u. s. Escott. as sistant secretary, Charlotte, N. C, who will also be pleased to answer any further requests for Informa tion. Tantalizing Ownership. In a French village a citizen bad upon bis land a part of an old building containing two very beautiful wiu- dows. He was in debt and em bar rassed and eagerly closed witb the of fer of a rich archaeologist, wbo bougbt them. Thereupon toe government in spector, bearing of the bargain, ar rived Just in time to stop tbe masons from dislodging tbe windows. "You cannot." be said to tbe villager, "sell antiquities, my man." "But, excel leu cy, I nave used tbe money and paid my creditors." Tbe villager was in despair, but tbe official was untouch ea. "That's all right." be said. "Ttie money is Bafe. Tbe windows are no longer yours. But tbe buyer can t move a stone of them. He can, bow- ever, come with a camp stool and sit down and look at bis property as muco as be likes." 8harn Wisdom. The Sophists were a body of teach ers in ancient Athens during tbe fourth and fifth centuries B. u. wbo gave instruction in any or all tbe higher branches of learning. Although they were not a philosophic sect and held no doctrines in common, the Sophists were nevertheless' skeptics and maintained a belief of uncer tainty of ail particular knowledge and. In fact In the impossibility of all truth. Their two leading representa tives were Protagoras and Gorgias. Tbe Sophists were charged witb bringing reasoning Into contempt by casting uncertainty over tbe most obvious truths and in conseauence were ridiculed and denounced by Aris tophanes. Socrates and Plato. Aris totle defined a Sophist as a man wbo makes money by sham wisdom." iPUBUCAOYk LETTERS. Curieus Appeals Appear In Newspa pers ef $evther Italy, ,- Tbe prlnfed ' love letters in tbe sd vertlslng columns of pu pert In south ern Italy fill the tourUt with wonder, mingled with deep respect for tbe sentiment wblcb. wlU pay - for their Insertion. Tbe following letter, taken from tbe Palermo Or a, contained 174 words, which at the advertised rats of a cent a word would cost 11.74. If the Italian saying. A lira Is a dollar Is true, tbls would equal a bill of $3.70. wblcb would require a pretty devoted American lover to pay: . "Dearest Little One What have I done to thee? Yby this silence after thy promise? I exterlence from It a grief so violent that It renders me helpless. "Thou art good, my Santuzza, as good as deaf; thou knowest bow this makes me suffer. Why dost thou do It? Thou knowest bow I love thee, tbat thou art my religion. Have I offended thee?" VI seek intense occupation to keep me calm, but a thousand thoughts gnaw my soul Perhaps while yon amuse yourself you do not know how your silence agitates me. Oh, dear Ma donna mine, darling, darling, my blessed Joy. do not forget me; thou art my life, all there is for me. my good Santuzza. I could not longer live without tbee. Forgive me If 1 have offended tbee In any way. blessed little biro, uere an is as If thou wert to arrive at any moment I seek to create for myself tbls most beautiful alkislon. ever speaking to tbee. vainly expecting news from thee with every post with a violently beating heart 'Do not believe me bad; I love tbee so much: l kiss tny aear tips, tny most entrancing little countenance, all infinite passion and tenderness. I am insane to bear once more thy dear, enchanting voice." There were eleven letters of tbls kind in tbe same Issue of the Ora. about an average number for a Pa lermo paper. Such letters are found in all Italian papers, but they grow shorter and shorter as one travels north nntll in Milan one line in the "agony column" suffices to express the lover's anguish. A stvle which seems theatrical to an American seems perfectly natural to an Italian. He will write exactly this sort of love letter in private. Some of the published letters of Napoleon to Josephine in their early married life are in tbe same strain.

Strange as it may seem, tbe elephant Is passionately fond of finery and de lights to see himself decked out with gorgeous trappings. Tbe native princes of India are very particular In choos ing their state elephants and will give fabulous sums for sn animal that ex actly meets the somewhat fanciful standards tbey have erected. For these they have made cloths of silk so heavi ly embroldereu with gold that two men are hardly able to lift them. Pearson's Weekly.
