OUR DOPE COLUMN- ~ A lady front Marion is visiting in the city, and she says that that city and the citizen* of Marion feel both the loss and the humiliation of losing the Coppock Automobile plant. While in the past this company has been no great addition to the manufacturing interests of Marion, yet apparently, every one saw a bright and prosperous fn tore, and fully expected some day to hear of them as the leading industry of its kind in the country. Viewed from a business standpoint, it is a serious loss to Marim. Decatur's brick streets are models of beauty when cleaned and thanks to a faithful city employee, they are clean. Now. if some one will get after the alleys with a scrub brush, dog days will present no new terrors. Marshal Green is after those of Ti. who are harboring an unusual crop of weeds. He has the law with him and we hope that station in life or previous condition of servitude, will exclude no one from following in the straight and narrow path. As a breeder of disease and filth, there is nothing that will outrival the rag weed. Now comes several of the manful to the fore who are seriously considering the advisability of relieving the house stagnation in Decatur. There is nothing needed so badly an! there is nothing that will prove a better dividend payer to the investor. The Democrat contributes to exceed six thoasand dollars a year to the cause of labor in Decatur, not a cent of which finds its way to the mail order and large printing houses of Chicago, and elsewhere. This little sum of money is helping to make that Greater Decatur, about which you have heard of before. In addition, our mechanical equipment at this time enables us to do as good printing as any mail order or large printing house in the country, and if our volume of business justifies, we can do it as cheaply. This is not a bouquet. just news. Mr. Bryan has acknowledged the return of his night shirt by Jeff Davis, through the agency of William McKinley. and thus another apendix to the nation's history is safely bestowed. —lndianapolis News. A government report places the percapita of money in the United States at *34.16 for each man, woman and child. During the panic back in the nineties the per capita was only about half this amount and when Bryan said we needed more money the republicans said we had money enough. Since that time the republicans have steadily increased the volumne of money and times have been prosperous thus proving the democratic quantitive theory to be correct.

After I had sent a note tc my wife, saying w might be delayed for an hour or two. I settled down tc wait for Bob ia the general office, and it was a iong wait. Thirty mmutes went into an hour and an hour into two before Bob and Miss Saads came out. After he had put her in a cab for her hotel, he said in a tone curiously intent: "Jim, I have got to talk with you. got to get some of roar good ad Tiee. Suppose we bustie along to the yacht and after lunch you tell Kate we have some business to go over I don z want to keep that gui waiting any longer than possible tor an answer I cannot give until I get your ideas '. After lunch. on the bow end of the upper deck Bob relieved himself. Relieved U the word, for from the minute he had put Mis* Sands into tie carriage until then. it w*j evident even to my wife that his thoughts were anywhere but upon out outing •Jim.” he begin tn a voice that ebook in spite of his efforts to make ft sound calm, "there is no ijsgmstng the fact that I am mightily worked up about this matter, and I want to do everything possible tor this girl. No need of my telling you bow sacred we have got to keep what she has just let me tuts. You’ll see as Igo along that it is sacred, and I know you will lock ax ft as I do. Miss Sands mast be helped out of her trouble "Judge Lee Saads, her father, is the ; head of the old Sands family of Virginia. The Virginia Sands lou t take | off their bonnets to another fam fly ia this country, or elsewhere. for that mattw, for anything that really counts. They have had brains, learning, money and fixed position since Virginia was first settled. They are the best peo- . pie of our state. It is a cross-road saying in Virginia that a Sauds of Saads rending ean go to the bench, the United States senare. the house, or the goTerocr's chair for the starting, and nearly all of tie men folks have keld one or all of these honors for generation*. The present judge has held them all. I don’t know him personally, a.though my people and his have been thick from away back. Sands Landing <on the James is some 50 miles above our home. The judge, Beulah Sands' father is close on to 70, and I hare heard mother and father say Is a stalwart. a Virginia stalwart- Being rich —that is. what we Virginians call rich, a million or so—he Las been very active in affairs, and I knew before his daughter told me, that be was the

You know the road, for your father was a director, and I rhisk the house has been prominent In its banking affairs. Now, Jim, this poor girt, who, it seems, has recently been acting as the judge’s secretary, has just learned that that coup of Reinhart and his crowd has completely ruined her father. The decline has swamped his own fortune, t»l what is worse, a million to a mil.’ien and a half of his trust funds as veil, and the od judge—well, yoa ana I can -understand his position.
