THE STATE SUPREME.
Sometime ago two liquor deal

in Judge Simonton's court asking
that Gov. Tillman be restrained
from appointing Dispensary o*fli
cers and carrying into effect the
Dispensary law. Upon argument
of counsel, on March 1st, Judge
Simon ton decided that he could
not interfere, and that "the State,
is suprems-in:'"the exercise of its
police regulations."
The Railroad Cases.
We clip the following from The |
State, Tuesday, in regrad to the
railroad cases :
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The great
railrod war was recommenced this
' ^morining in . the United States
Supreme Court. The court room
wns jammed with visitors. The full
bench was present, save Chief
Justice Fuller, Justice Field
presiding. Govenor Tillman, with
Senator Irby, John Gary Evans,
Dr. Pope and Cole L. Blea^e, sat
withinlhe bar, on the right side,

. South Carolinaians were present.
Attorney General Townsend, Mr.
.Tucder arid Ira Jones sat immedia-1
tely in front of the Chief Justice
Superintendent "Bunch" McBee
was in the room.
It was 2 o'clock before the matter
was reached. The proceeding was
entirely ex parte. Attorney General
Townsend rose and presented the
application for habeas corpus,
reading the several applications as |
already published. Justices Gray
and Field asked some questions j
about the nature of the case, which
were answered by Mr. Tucker, and
the court took the matter under
advisement. The decision is ex
pected to be rendered to-morrow
"'morning, such being the custom
of court.
"Whether it would be better to
live^with a slovenly, good-natured
. wife or a tidy, scolding wife," was
the question debated in a Wash
ington county lyceum. The ques
tion was carried in favor of the
slack woman.You seethe debaters

On top of the flagpole is fast?

Geo. Adams, U. S. A., enthusiasti

to be proud of the Hussars, foi
they will surely be the prettiest
uniformed and best equipped
troop in the whole procession. The
vast crowd along the sidewalks
shout their praises as they march
to their destination.
The Georgia Hussars are cheered
to the echo as they pass up Penn
sylvania avenue. Their beautiful
blue uniforms slashed with silver,
glittering helmets and yellow
plumes are greatly admired. They
share with Fitzhugh Lee the en
thusiasm of the day.
WASHINGTON. March 4.-The fif
teen thousand souls more or less,
that patiently awaited the ap
proach of tho Presidential p
to the reviewing stand jn
grounds of the White House
probably never forget the
periences of the day. Full ]
was afforded the northwest; v
in the open space between
treasury and the army andr
buildings, and it tore around
about, roaring down the avei
whistling through the ti
picking up the snow and carr]
it into the eyes and ears i
nostrils, forming a semi-eircl
white flakes stripping the bun
that decorated the stands fron
place and causing the timber
creak until more than once
advance occupants of the Pre ?ic
tial stand were inclined to aban
their advantageous posts.
Two of the big branches of
stately elm that towered v
dignity to the right of the sp
enclosed for the Presidential p?
broke off with a snap. With ev
succeeding blast of wind
temperature grew cdder. A bea
cheer greeted President Clevelar
appearance on the reviewing st;
and the shouts redoubled as
took his place in the conspicu
projection of the structure, wh
he stood during the parade.
He was soon followed by IV!
Gie velan d and Mrs. Stevens
Mrs. Lamount and the other lad
who had been with the Preside
lal party all day. They came a
moment when the crowd was
terested in the passing troops, a
their presence was unnoticed.
As the President appeared I
fore the multitude, and while# 1
cheers were yet sounding in 1
honor au aide of the gra
marshal, .stationed opposite t
reviewing stand, galloped at fi
speed down Pennsylvania aven
and gave the signal for ,the mar
to be resumed. The bugles sound
forward march, the -office
repeated the command and t
line of march was again taken i
from the point where the head
the column had halted, opposi
the treasury department.
The great crowds about tl
White House were enthusiast
from the beginning and kept tin
with feet and hands to the mus
of tho band in an endeavor to ke<
warm and get rid of surplus h
laxity. As General Martin '
McMahon the Grand Marshal <
the parade. passed Mr. Clevelan
and saluted, he was greeted wit
cheer after cheer and the Ne
York Business Men's Clevelan
and Stevenson clubs which ha
formed the President's escort t

was butoned tightly about hi

The enthusiasm of the multitud
in the vicinity of the reviewinj

General Fitzhugh Lee made hi
appearance at the head of th
third division. The ovation tba
had been given him all along th<
route of the parade apparentlj
reached its highest point as h<
saluted the new president. Cheei
followed cheer and those on the
grand stand with the president
joined in the demonstration witt
as much spirit as did those along
the curbstones. The shouts were
taken up with renewed vigor when
the president returned General
Lee's^aluiation, and long aftei
the ex-governor had passed, the
echo of cheers in his honor came
to those of the presidential party,
The picturesque figure of Gov

head mounted on a handsome

enthusiastic feeling that had "<e

COTTON SEED CRAZY.
Views of a Georgian Who Prob
ably Has Seed to Sell.
A correspondent of the Savannah
News, who is probbaly holding his
cotton seed for higher prices,
writes thus extravagantly to that
paper :
CARROLLTON, Ga., Feb. 23.
Much excitement exists among
the farmers of Carroll county and
all Western Georgia over the price
of cotton seed. They are selling
in Carrollton to-day for 35 cents
per bushel, and the seed buyers
and others who are posted say the
price will go to 60 cents before
May 10, or before this season's
cotton crop has been planted.
Never in the history of this country
has cotton seed sold at such a big
price, unless jt was the year after
the war, wfcew a few bushels sold
as high as $1 for planting pur
poses.
At every -town in Western.
Georgia there are one or more seed*
buyers who represent the cotton '
seed oil mills, and the price has
gone from 1.5 cents to 35 cents
this season, and will go to 50
cents, and maybe to 75 or $1. It
has taken as many cars to ship
cotton seed from this point this
season nearly as it has for cotton.
Farmers are casting about fora
kind of cotton seed that will raise
nothing but seed, for they say
raising seed beats raising cotton.
The present price of seed adds
nearly 2? cents a pound to the:
mills going up in Westorn Georgia,
and the prices of seed are expec
ted'to be higher nex? fall than
this, and this expectation, with
the late rise in cotton, will cause
a big acreage {to be planted. The
farmers are wondering when the
cotton seed will stop going up.
CYCLONE LN MISSIPPL
Great Destruction of Property
and Terrible Loss of Life.
MERIDIAN, Miss., March 4.-A
terrific cyclone in this section
wrought incalculable loss of life
and property last night. Where
once stood happy homes, now
nothing remains save perhaps a
few stray pieces of timber. The
cyclone stuck Marion at about 5
p. m,travelliug from the southwest
to northeast. It was described by
an eye witness as a whirling ball
of fi ru, a d travelled in a zig-zag
course. The main track was 300
yards wide, and everything in that
track was swept away, wreckage
of houses being scattered for miles'
akng its course.
At Marion only two fatalities
are reported-Mrs. Burton Madow,
aged seventy, and her daughter
Myra, aged forty. Both instantly
killed MI the wreck of their demo
lished house. A dozen persons
were injured more or less seriously.
The cyclone passed from Marion
to the swamp, uprooting tinib? r,
crossed the Mobile au^ Ohio Rail
road a mile above town, destroying
a half a mile of telegraph wires
and blocking the road. After des
troying Mariod, the cyclone cut a
?wath through the swamp, until
reaching Good Hope Church, two
miles east, which it wrecked also
destroying four settlements of
negro cabins. But three persons
were fatally hurt.
When thc tornado neared
Poomsuba, Miss., a small station
on the Alabama and Great Sou th
em Railroad, Jiwelve miles from
here and nine miles east of Majnon
nine "/ctw?K-inge- -and: ewx^-'^wo;
blown down and carried away and
their contenta scattered to the
four winds of heaven. The ap
proach to the town is strewn with
debris and carcasses. A mile west
of Toomsuba, the old Keetou place,
densely settled with negro cabins,
was almost completely demolished,
but no one was killed.
MERIDIAN, Miss,, March 4.
News reached here tonight that
the cyclone struen Barnett, a
station on the Queen and Crescent
railroad, wrecking every building
in the place,., and killing twelve
people and injuring twenty others.
The family of Daniel Barnett,
eight in number, were instantly
killed. Barnett is not a telegraph
station, and the news got here by
passengers of the incoming train.
A relief party hag gone to tho
scene.
Western Georgia was also vissted
by the same cyclone. The town of
Greenville was almost swept off
the face of the earth, and many
people were killed and injured.

The Heart Bests Eight Hours Every Day.
That wonderful piece of mechanism,
the heart, appears to work continually
day and night, from birth to death, but
in reality there are short pauses or rests
between each' beat, which, though mi
nute in themselves, mount up in the ag
gregate to eight hours out of every twen
ty-four. These short pauses enable the
heart to repair the waste which constant
work entails and without which rests it
would break down.-Brooklyn Eagle.

wren, mounting above the eagle's head

Jin.Mutual Life Insurance Company,
OIE1 "PO^TIiAJSrr), M?HTE.
Incorporated, 1848.
Its Policies are the Most Liberal Now Offered
to the Public.
Is the only existing Company whose policies are, o: can be subject to the
MAINE NON-FORFEIT URE LAW.
WHAT, IT IS.
The Maine Non-Forfeiture law protects policies from forfeiture
by reason of default of payment of premiums. It provides that, after
three years' premiums have been paid, failure to pay any subsequent
premiums shall not forfeit a policy, but it shall continue in force for
its full amount until the reserve (less a small surrender charge) upon
the policv is exhausted.
The .reserve is a sum made up of portions of each and every pre
mium paid upon a policy in anticipation of its maturity. Beginning
with a small portion of the first premium, it is increased each year by
the addition of each subsequent premium, and grows larger year by
year, until, at maturity, it exactly equals the face of the policv. When
a policy is discontinued therefore, there is in the hands of th? Com
pany a reserve, greater or less, according to the character and age of
the policy. Instead of permitting the Company, upon non-payment
of premium, to confiscate this reserve, the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
requires the Company to continue the policy in force until the policy
holder receives an equivalent for it in extended insurance.
How IT WORKS.
If a person, aged 35, paye three years' premiums upon a . twenty
payment Life policy and then discontinues payment, the policy will
be continued 4 years and 257daj's longer; if bc pays five premiums,
and then discontinues, the insurance will continue 7 years and 357
days longer.
If the policy is a twenty year endowment, same age, three years'
payments will give an extension of 8 years and 150days; five years'
payment 13 years, 300 days. If the policy is a 15 Year Endowment,
($1,000) same age, three years' payments will secure insurance to the
end of the endowment period and $13.68 in cash if insured lives till
that time, and in like manner ten years' payments secures insurance
for'the full 15 vears and $592.17 in cash.
These extensions "vary with the age of the insured, the class of
policy, and the number of payments made ; they are stated in each
policy, in years and days, for each number of payments, so that the
policy-holder knowe at a glance exactly what he is entitled to if he
I disentitles his pavmentsai-aav time_?_:_,,? - -

What it Has Done.
The Company Has Paid over Two Hundred Death Claims, in con
sequence of this law, aggregating in sum3 insured more than Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
In every ca6e there had been a default in ?he payment of pre
mium, and, except for this law, the policies would have been of little
or no value. Instead of this, the insurance in each case was extended
to the time of death, and the Company was required to pay to the
beneficiaries under the policies the sum of $418,335.77.
Tie Vie ol ffiie Law Eltens as Compared
'WITH IFAUD-Tjre VALUES.
It is the custom of many companies to provide in their policies
that, upon discontinuance of payment of Premium, paid-up policies
will be given, without the option of extension. This was the practice
of the Union Mutual before the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law was en
acted, but it now substitutes for paid-up values the more advantage
ous plan of extended insurance. The objection to the paid-up system
is that the amount of paid-up insurance which is given upon the dis
continuance of payments upon a policy, unless it has been in force a
great many years, ?B insignificant, and of little or no value as protec
tion ; and it leaves the insured who ceases payment without adequate
insurance at the very time he needs it the most.
The great advantage of the extended insurance afforded by the
Maine Law over the most liberal paid-up system is strikingly shown by
the following comparison, and it will be observed that the paid-up
value is insignificant in comparison with the amount actually paid by
the Union Mutual. The result of two hundred aud twelve policies
was this:
If the insured had received paid-up policies instead of ex
tended insurance, the Company would have had to
pay in settlement of the claims only. $98,197.50
Whereas, in fact, it did pay under the Maine Law, $418,344.77
Making a difference in favor of the beneficiaries under Two
Hundred and Twelve policiei of $320,147.28
The policies are free from all restrictions, and incontestible after
ONE YEAR.
A grace of one month is given in the payment of premiums.
