A wave of sestlnwot I* sweeping over the whole state in favor of pure methods In politics. State aud nation al conventions have been held to se cure primaries precedent to every elec tion and to throw about the ballot box a safeguard of sanctity which the boldest dare not violate. That sentiment 1* as vigorous and extensive lo Georgia as in any state of the union. It Is vigorous In Richmond county, for the last grand Jury urcon- Bldered Its action In recommending white primaries only because it was dtv elded that that body should steer dear of polities. As a reflection of Its senti ments the paragraph was ns conclus ive us If It has appeared in Its final presentments. The I’opullsts claim that the Demo crats have stolen the best planks of their platform. It Is apparent on ex amination of the platforms of the two parties that many of the principles enunciated ore the same. The Popu lists virtually admit that but for the corruption In the Democratic party— of which they themselves profess to be free—they would have uo claims on the people. What, then, was the manifest duty of the Populist, leaders? It was to join tbo upright IbJraccrats In purifying the old party. It was to come back in to tlfe ranks aud ally themselvce with the friend# atul advocates of pure elec tions. Their vigilance would then be effective, whereas it amountß to noth ing, exercised by a hopeless minority.

It Is practically cer tain. however, that the President will not be victimised by the hypoerlry railed "diplomacy” which Spain exer cised so artfully just before diplomatic negotiation# were broken off. Her proposition for peace must be honest and unequivocal. She made a fatal mistake by not opening up negotiations as soon as her second fleet was destroyed, if she had not been tho mad-eap of nations she would have doa«> so. The rcßult of her delay has been to give our troops an opportunity to lend at Porto Rico and even if an armistice Is declared before Gen. Miles achieves any Important vic tory, the American people will look with disfavor ou the abandonment of the island. The truth of the matter Is—and Spain may os well realize It —we are the conquerors and eho Is the con quered. She can have peace only on our terms. If we choose to do so, we will retain every island on which our troops have set foot—and may even demand a few more. Nothing but the fatuous density of such a nation as Spain could ever In spire the irrational and ludicrous terms in which she talks of surrender. She has brought on this wa- by her oppression and her stupidity. She has been cuffed about until the contest hardly reach ed the dißtilty of u fight. Now she must give up whatever territory we demand, pay the expenses of the war and then go back to her dark lit tle corner and meditate over her folly. Those ara the terms she is offered, and she may take them or leave them a lo ® 6 - , i j. i :.j:i . the .a ttcsTysr-A mrTv aIC »»» 4*f» TMB JobMMAS Ngwltnr Mr* "THi* gMirti mtk immJt ilk* mm |m 4k* f *■ w « #s# |lj> fr || Aft4fF|Fl I'fdifll A gf¥»tt jh'io mmr *» ib » cibiibit. m ‘i bi ItvoltM 9>t% I tblftkt If rftu StoM.

A poor man without principal is us ually devoid of Interest. There are a few things that even a very yotuig man doesn’t know. You ean't judge h man religion by his actions in a horse trade. About the hardest thing for a man to do Is to kiss o girl unexpectedly. Even the optimist forgets to smile when the tux collector comes around. A man with a single idea is a crank. That's why so many men are not cranks. Every man has n grievance, and he’ll tell you all about it on the least provo cation.

The camn fire had erased lo burn and its ghastly retainer* had disappeared. "Social Hall” and moat of the fine resldrncoa are "On Bath,” but the old bouse a ernes the gulch la not. This gulch, er "Bath Branch.” which haa Its aource in a mineral spring in Hell;' Grove, is in its course augmented by fifty-one other springs, and form* a horse-shoe shaded table-land, which Is called "On Bath." Bath Branch flows into Spirit cre n k at Mount Enon and then cn to Richmond factory, reaching the Savannah below Twiggs’ bay. We visited the old house aero** the gulch hoping to get a glimpse of the interior with Its antique furnitnre, but upon inquiry found that the furniture had been stored and the house locked. We must content ourselves by sitting for a moment on the wide piazza and imagine how it all looked when the bright petals of the lilac, honeysuckle and iris blessed the ever-rerurning spring time, and tfce sir was fragrant with their perfume, a few stunted plants of which were left to tall the tale. The springs along Bath branch are largely impregnated with mineral and would furnish a magnificent basis for a sanitarium and health resort. Will our home people wait for the northern capitalist to discover and appropriate to himself this rich legacy of "acres of diamonds”? A bath house is built over the branch and water supplied directly from the springs. On first entering, the water startles by its coldness, but after a bath of a few: minutes it leaves a warm, velvety glow era the flesh that is health giving and youth inspiring.

The churchyard i» at tho rear of the church, but no newly made graves mark the spot, for few people die on Bath. It always awakens feelings of sad-, ness to visit a country churchyard any where.

This epitaph is on a slab marking one of the graves: ■B' "Ah, the fondest link is broken Ml, From this exile's earthly chain, ! i But 'tis only for a moment. To meet in heaven again.” j.| | At the farthest corner of this “God’s acre” is a large grave arched over in a semi-cylindrical form which encloses the coffin and is sealed up with a mar ble slab, bearing this Inscription: "Quintillian Skeine, "Born July, 1809, “Died September, 1886. i : ' “The past has nothing to regret, I The future nothing to fear.” They say that this man’s death closed the career of a very wicked life. Altogether, on Bath is delightfully cool, is easy of access and should be made much of by the moneyed people of Augusta. For health, rest and qui et. and literary study, it stands unex celled.
