A Question,
The publisher of a newspaper has one
thing to sell andone thing torent. He
has the newspaper to Bia and the space
in his columns to rent. Can any one ins
form us why he should be expected to
give away either the one or the other?
He can if fie so chooses, and be does, as
a matter of fact, furnish a great deal of
space rent free. But it does not follow
that he ought to be expected to do so,
It ought to be recognized as a contribu-
tion, exactly ax would be the giving
away of sugar or coffee by a grocer.
But, strange to say, it is not looked
upon in that light at all, yet everybedy
knows that the existence of a newspa~
per depends up-n the rent of its space
aud the sele of the paper, as merchants

very low rate will enable all to

The many tine exhibits already
in place insure a display worthy
the attention of anyone. The Art
exhibit is altogether the most
notable display of the kind that
has been gathored together in the
South, with the single exception
_of the Atlanta Exposition.
From all reports, the Art dis-
play is much ahead of that at the
Nashville Centennial. The gem
of the gallery is oBreaking Home

~in this country. The Art gallery
alone is richly worth a vicit to

Jersey, where he resides. Onthe
day mentioned the blind man
was without a guide and stood
on the corner of Twenty-third

cross the street. While debating
with himself as so whether he
woud try it alone or call a police-
mau, a woman, came up and
addressed him, saying: oMister.

A writer in the Soringtield

Iknow a young man who, in
cleaning his wheel a day or two
ago, struck one of the spokes In
such a way that it emitted a clear
tone, and on alittle investigation
he was avle to find six spokes
that furnished as mauy notes of
an ociave. The other two notes
were missiag, but might have
been easily secured by tightening
or loosening other spokes. As it
was, he was able to play a few

Highly RBccommended Diphthoria
Cure,
The following cure for diphthe-
ria appeared recently in the
Scientific American, which high
authority vouchos for it as @ cer
tain cure for this terrible disease
if the treatment is commenced in
its early stages:
At the first indication of diph-
theria in the throat of a child
make the room close, then take a
tin cup and pour into itaquantity
of tar and turpentine, equal parts:
Then hold the cup over a fire,
no asto fill the room with fumes.
The little patient on inhaling
the fumes will cough up aud spit
out all the membranous matter,
and the diphtheria will pass out.
The fumes of the tar and turpen-
tine loosen the matter in the
throat and thus afford relief.

Legislatnre was made known to
the citizens of this (Chatham)
county during the present term
of our Superior Court. It, was
the new method of drawing jnrors
in the trial of. capital cases.
Heretofore, unless otherwise de-
manded by the defendant, the
special venire. or the extra jurors,
in capital capital cases, were sum-
moned by the sheriff indiecrimi-
nately from among the freehold-
ers. But the last Legislature
changed this by compelling all
these extra jurors, or special
venire, to be drawn from the jury
box in open court. Accordingly,
on last Tuesday the special
venire, or extra jurors, inT two
capital cases were drawn in this
manner, 50 jurors ia each case.
Immediately atter the names of
these jurors were drawn the
sheriff had to hurry his deputies
all over the county to summon
the jurors to be here the next day,
and the deputies had a lively
time of it. |
While this oreform� may be
proper and even necessary in
counties where the sheriff is. cor-
rupt, yet in most cases it is need-
less expeuse and puts too many
good citizens to a great deal of
unnecessary trouble-"Chatham
