THE SINGING SCHOOL.

Docsa't Know the Notes Yet. Wants Do to Hold Its Place on the Still.

^ 1 went to two singing schools whiliTT^aTgrowTfiE'u'pyanJlo'one" after the white hairs had begun, to make their appearance on my head: 1 don't know.the notes yet.

The-first two schools which I at-tended were'-"for men only." But, why the girls were not al-lowed to be present, 1 know not; because no words were spoken or sung except "do, re, ini, fa, sol, la, si, do,"—and 1 do not - think tliat the pronunciation of these syI-ables is calculated to call a blush to the cheek of the most sensitive.

The reason why I learned noth-ing, lies at the door of J.im Whit-field. He sat by me and made re-marks which.kept me, figuratively speaking, in roars of laughter'.

nouncements of spring weddings of interest to Atlantans is that of.Miss Eva Johnson to Mr. J. M. Simonton, which wiH occur on the morning of April 301I1 at the West End Pres-byterian church-

Miss Johnson is Ihe elder daugh-ter of Mrs. Harriet E. Johnson, of West End, and is a charming young woman of many lovable traits of character who'has won a large circle of friends and admirers throughout the city and elsewhere.

Mr. Simonton is 1 native .of Souttf Carolina but .has resided in Alanta for several years (last and is

c of Atlanta's prominent young attorneys and is associated with Mr. C. T. Ladson practice of his profession.

Immediately after the wedding Mr. Simonton and his bride' will leave for an extended trip east, but

Remember thai I was told that lo's" place- was - - was — well,

either in the first space below the last rail, or on the other rail—I for-get which, but let that go.

"Now,".says the teacher, "we come to sharps." As soon as I heard that," I knew, dr" rather fell, that mischief was on foot. He made a double cross mark on the '•'staff" (so he called it.) near a thing that looked like a capital "S" turned backwards. "This," said be, "means that *do' comes now one place above where it was before. And,; if there are- two sharps, it comes (wo places above." 1 had arranged for all my singing to be led up "do" located where the book said it should be.

The Constitution is light so far as itgoes but there were other ac-cessories which are partly responsi-ble tor ihe awful tragedy. Whis-key and cards were as much in evidence as the pislol when the fearful disclosure was made, and these might be' termed the princi-pals in the deplorable affair, while Ihe pistol was an accessory.

Bank Loses' Neal Case. The decision of the slate supreme

court in the Neal-Carolina bank was much talked ot yesterday ir legal circles. There is no doubt Ihatjbe.sulr is ended-by this decis-ion, and'the ha nt< loses the amount of the notes involved.-

In this connection it is interesting review the status of the Neal

case, growing out of the acts, of-Col Neal as superintendent of the peni-tentiary.

he case just decided in Hie su-preme court wasa civil action grow-ing out of Col. Neal's official ca*-•eer. In this case Col. Neal ac-•epled two notes in payment of con-fid hire and, after endorsing them, legotiated them w ith the Carolina National bank, Ihe proceeds having been placed to the credit of Col Neal, as superintendent. The notes

not paid, and the bank peti-tioned the legislature to allow the slate to be sued in a civil action to recover the amount placed to the crrdirol Cfll. Neal. By a joint res-olution the legislature granted the b3nk authority to sue the 'state. Upon the call of the case' the state JemurreflolEe" comfSSinfTpEicfF' cally upon the ground that a-stale officer had no right to'bin'd Ihe stale I iric.il ph. by an endorsement. The court| "Yes-overruled the demurrer and the state appealed.. The supreme, court has sustained the conteniioikof the ap-pellant and remanded the cjse to Ihe lower court, with instructions that Ihe de'murrei be sustained. This will probably end Ihe case.

The concluding words of Justice Jones' opinion are as follows:

"The judgment of the circuit court is reversed and the case re-manded, with instructions to sustain Ihe demurrer, and dismiss the com-plaint."

In the criminal case the defendant as indicted under section 304 of

the crimnal co3e, requiring Slate and county officers, upon retiring from office, to turn over to their

s all moneys received by them by virtue of their office, with-

thirty days from the time their cessors shall have entered upon

their duties. The indictment charged that defendant failed to turn over Certain funds arising fronrconvicl hire. Upon; Ihe call of the cas ihe defendant moved to quash th -indictment uppn Ihe ground that th superintendent of the penitentiary was not authorized to receive money for convict hire, and, therefore, could not be held toTiave been trusted with' it by virtue of his office" and could not be required to turn it over to his successor. • Upon this ine indictment was quashed by Judge Benel, > from which order Attorney General Bellinger ap-pealed to the supreme court. The court reversed the order of Judgi Benel and declared thai the indict-ment did charge an offense.

This will necessitate another effort on the part of Ihe Slate to convict the defendant in Ihe court of general sessions. The penalty

ihe study of meteorology and make it possible to predict the weather upon scientific principl-

true and as certain a's those that no* guide the astronomer ii his calculations. So that before long we may have official fore-casts 'ol the weather for many days in advance, and forecasts that may be relied upon with far

certainly than those which Uncle Sam gives us from day lo day under the present system.— Everybody's Magazine.

Spring coughs are specially dan-gerous and unless cured at once,

results often follow. One Minute Cough Cure acts like magic It is not acommon mixture but a high grade remedy. Pryor & McKee.

. The Earth a Dynamo. timer Gates, the Washington

scientist, has recently finished a series of experiments which prove that electricity is primarily the raose- of—all meteorological—ph«-nomena;1 (rom the calm of a sum-mer's day to'the tempestuous storms of the'equinox, are nothing more or less than manifestations of elec-iricity.' Our world, in common with ihe sun and Ihe other planets, is not only a vast generator 9! elec-tricity,^ but is also kebi in motion and controlled by electrical forces.

"I proved by,experiment," says Gales in Ihervh<./i-'» Magazine, "that when an insulated body if revolved before a magnet it pro-duces electricity upon itself. Now the earth is an insulated body and revolves in an intense magnetic field produefcd by the sun, the great central magnet Of our solar system. I'he earth is insulated because the air that envelops it is a noncon-ductor, and for that reason lha electricity, generated by Ihe revo-

an of the earth is not thrown off, is retained and manifests itself in it we call the weather." r?ti»a'3"tii*!r!iyi>iartHg'yo<tftiai!f

of ihe earth on its°^r^s is an elec-non also?" ' "a conclusion ia

j rendered probable by my ex- ' i pi'rjtnenrs. N01 only the rotation • 'on its axis, but its revolution, too, | about tjie sun is Ihe result of -jj electricity or eieclro-magnetic action. We know lhat the sun rotates on its axes. Now, I find by experiment lhat when a mag-net rotates it causes magnetic bod- , ies within its influence to revolve about it. The nearer ihey are to ' : ihe magnet Ihe faster Ihey re-volve, and this is precisely • what we observe in the case of (he pljinets.- And I have also discovered that a sphere revol-ving about a magnet turns on its axis. This is due to the fact -that the side nearest the magnet is slightly retarded by the effect of the attraction, and this causes the globe to rotate while moving

its orhil around the magnet. 1 we see thai Ihe sun by its

own motion causes the eartb to revolve about it and'lhat this in turn produces the rotation of the earth on its axis, which gives us our atmospheric electricity."

Each of these had graded the papers separately and scaled up his marks in an envelope, -whi.'-h was opened on .the stage, in tli. presence of the audience, at th, close of the speaking. These marks were" combined with those of the committee on delivery", and Ex-Gov. Slteppard made a. brief but pretty speech in announcing the decision and delivering the 1st and 2nd medals to Messrs. Morrison .11: Hickson respectively^

W<" believe that a vote of.tl audience would have made th same award, though many would have.given Hickson the first- place and Morr.ison the second, while oth-ers wouiO have given one of the med-al's to Wicker, takirffe no notice of few moments hesitation-' at or time on account of a little- slip of memory, lie had a capital speccli and it is doubtful,—being a matter of taste-'-whether Jus delivery w: inferior to that of any oMhe oth-

Mr. Boykin's style- of. delivery does not appeal so effectively to popular audience as that of sor of the others, yet it 'is not without decided force,-and his specch well" up to those of the prize win-ners. 1 Mr. Johnson is a good speaker, and he had a good speech. " It per hafis lost somewhat from its being so much" along the lines -of frequent political discussion that it .was diffi-cult tor the fearer to give it -full Credit.

: Much sympathy was felt for Mr. Simpson by those who knew of his recent serious illness, which inter fered both with his preparation and deliy'ery. .. We Have heard excel-lent'judges say, however, that Ijis was one of the best- speeches and that he possesses the,elemcnts of an orator.

The Clemson college band, five instruments, furnished excellent music between the speeches.

The informal reception announced to take 'place after -the speaking dispensed with, on account of the lateness of the hour and inclemency of the weather.

The rsm interfered very much •with the pleasure of the occasion. The visitors had to stay in doors all the time, and had no opportunity to see Chester except ir) her worst ieaturel.

College colorsJiave been promi-nent in Chester the last few. days. In the store of Joseph Wylie &"Co., the clerks decorated one of the show windows with the colors of Wofford and another with those of Erskine. They may have had the colors of the other collegH also, but
