REAOH OF MOK. DAN’L M'RAE.
He Wa* a Prominent and Much Ea
teetried Citizen ol Telfair.
Mcßae. Ga.. Oi-t. 85.-—Hon Daniel
M Mcßae, one of the founder* of thla
town, was stricken with aptqdexy and
died suddenly at 8008 yesterday. He
whs 74 year# of age and was highly es
teemed throughout thla auction of
country. At the time the Macon and
Brunswick railroad (now the South
ern) was built, about 1870. he was liv
ing on hi* farm here and owned alt
the land where Mcßae and Helena
now stand. A station was made near
hta dwelling and named Mcßae In
honor of the family Of that name tn
the Cbnnty nnd of Gen. William Mc-
Rae, formerly of North Carolina, who
was superintendent of the railroad »t
that time. A year later the county seat
was moved from Jacksonville to Mc-
Rae. und the town was Incorporated.
Daniel M. Mcßae has held a number
of positions of honor and trust and
was one of the most popular men in
Telfair county. He was elected to the
legislature during the war between
the states while serving in the Con
federate army. Since then he has held
various positions of trust nnd was
chairman of the county board of edu
cation at thp time of hts death. Re
cently he became a member of the
Presbyterian church and only last Sat
urday he was canvassing the town for
subscriptions to build a Presbyterian
church lu Mcßae.
Truth Is stranger than fiction to
some people probubly because they
don't cere for an introduction.
Most youngsters at the present dr"
learn so rapidly that it Is almost ii.
possible for the high schools to keep
up with them.
When a man Is resigned to his fate,
the resignation Is duly accepted.

The Raennnah. Thunderbolt and lal#
of Hope railroad found early that It
waa reduced to the necessity of pulling
the fare between tho Dal* avenue cams
and the city down lo 5 cents
It did not tab* the conductor# and
motormcn of the road- long to find oot
that they could not collect 10 cent*
from the soldiers for s fare one way.
and they did not hesitate to report tb*
matter promptly to the official* of th* j
road. Just tvefore the fares were re- j
duced a party of soldiers, about fifteen
In number, went out on one of the
tars to the camp. When they arrived
at the Junction and alarted for the
ramp from that point an effort was j
made to collect another fare from
(hem Thl* (he soldiers refined lo
pay. say lug they could not afford more
than 5 cent* for a ride to the ramp
The conductor and motorman of the
car had their orders, and they set to
work attempting to collect the addi
tional 5 cents
“You will have to pay or get off.”
the conductor aald.
"We won’t, pay and we won't get
off." said one of th# soldier*.

In the motorman.
"All right, we've got a motorman of
our own,” remarked one of the sol
dieis aa he took hoM of the controller
and started the car. The soldiers car
ried themselves out to the ramp, told
the conductor Rnd motorman good
night. and got off.
the citizens of Savannah are now
asking the question why they should
pay any more than 10 cents to ride, out
to the camp and back. Many of them j
consider it an attempt on the part of
the company to gouge. They do not
think It worth any more to ride out
to Dale aveuue and back than to ride
around the belt, and they consider it
unjust that they should be charged 15
cents for the round trip. Savnnnahlans
pay more probably for street, car
fares for the distance traveled and get
less accommodation than Is paid any
where else in this country.

Tbe monthly it as eight-page paper
and. aa stated, ta devoted to educa
ltonal Inter , school wader* and tbe 1
like
Last fiunday and Monday nighta. Mr
samuel Snider lectured at Asbury
Methodist church here. Roth lecture#
were well attended. At tbs lecture,
every one buying a ticket waa given a
m'wrlptlon to the Southern Home
Journal.
"How can you afford to fire sub
scriptions In that way?" I ashed of
Mr. Snider He said tbaf the expense*
of getting out the paper was little and
he bad found that he could well afford
to do so
For pluck and energy, considering
the way they are handicapp'd. I say
these young man cannot be given too
much praiae. They have not let their
biindneaa keep them back, but are
forging ahead and giving their sub
scribers an Intereating paper.
Mr. Sam Snider haa composed sever
al poems, two of especial interest, en
titled "Father Adam’* Pfrailse," and
"David and Goliath." These Mr. Snl- :
der repeat* from memory at his lec
ture*.
The Younger Brothers.
"What will yout* younger brother*
do when they get through at school?"
I asked Mr. Snider.
"Perhaps go into the newspaper
business with my olher brother and
myself, or follow some * profession
taught at the Institution. You know
blind men learn to become excellent
musician* and typewriters. Of course
in dolug the latter an amanuensis is
needed.”
Mr. Snider waa a student at the
Georgia Academy for the Blind # ai
Macon for several years. His brother
Will was also educated there. Hiß two
brothers. Patrick and Jerry, are there
now. Tbe latter are respectively 16
and 23 years of age.
Mr. Sam Snider is 26 years of age.
He is a pleasant talker and quite an
intelligent young man. He says he
and his brother propose as soon as
they are able to buy their own print
ing outfit. They live one mile from
Mitchell station, on the Augusta
Southern road.
Deserve Credit.
These brothers are the only blind
newspaper men in Georgia, perhaps in
the south, and indeed they may be the
only ones tn the country.
It is Indeed remarkable that they
have done so well at the business,
considering the way nature has handi
capped them.
That they may continue to succeed
will, of course, be the wish of all who
admire perseverance, pluck and en

torn* amusing stories are told of
Senator OackreH's acquaintance with |
the people. Senator Vaat. after a can
vaa* of th* state with him. aald he
waa satisfied that Cockrell'* brigade
was larger than all the rest of the
Confederate army, and that there was
epougb of them In Missouri alone to
keep him In the senate for life It ta
told of the aonlor senator, recall* the
Columbia Herald, that there wa* Just I
a bit of guile in his method of remem- (
bertng people's names. A number of
years ago a large crowd had assem
bled to hear him speak Before be
ginning hi* address and while the band
wa* playing, he ask d a prominent
citizen of the place to caat his eye over j
the multitude and see If h» could find
any rot mbera of the old Cockrell bri
gade. A few were pointed out to him.
•'Give me their first name*.” said the
senator. They were given. "Which
one is most active In politics?" he anx- j
lousiy inquired. A large fellow whom
we will call Bill Jones was deatgnated.
After the senator had finished his
speech he dropped down Into the
crowd and rushing up to Jones ex
claimed: "Why bos- are yon. Jim. God
bless you, n(d fellow, yon don't know
how glad I am to see you.”
Of courso Jim was amazed, but
greatly flattered, and the next day was
working for Cockrell 'lke a Beaver.
"Why. boys.” he would say. "the old |
general knew me as soon as he saw
me. and called me Jim before 1 could
open my mouth.”
It is told by him. however, that he
once got badly caught He had been
talking at a country picnic with an
admiring constituent, anil after vainly
trying to ascertain tbe man's name
without exciting suspicion, and discov
ering that he was soon to be com
pelled to betray his ignorance, he
squarely asked the constituent: "See
here, what is your name?”
"Why. Smith, General; don't you
know me?”
“Oh, certainly,” answered the gener
al quickly. “I know It is Smith, which
one of the boys are you?"
“Why. General,” answered Smith, in
an injured tone. "I thought you
knew that my father had hut one
child?” For the first time the gen
eral is said to have been floored.
It was stated in a London police
court recently that eight or nine shil
lings can be made in a day at beg
ging.
A cheap coat doesn't necessarily
make a cheap man, but it makes him
feci that way at times.

t. aft are a large number of families
here so fortunate a* to not only in
herit antique furniture, but to affotd
to keep It. Tbe result Is a seßes of
beaulifu' ooms richly suggestive of
"beta de wa " One of these rooms I*
owned by a wealthy matron, notcjl for
her artistic talents. There la not In
the entire roow* a modern note to mar
the harmony of the perfect whole.
Dreasing tables, beval mirror in ma
hogany stand, four-posted tied, with
old chinety hangings, low rockers, and
quaint stools, all belong to tbe early
half of the century, and are in reality
Inherited from the owner's ancestor*.
One of the prettiest rooms of this
kind In the city Is owned by a golden
haired girl of such fairy proportions
that she seems quite lost In the apart
ment of great furniture. The tied is
huge, hut it is not sombre, tar it Is
covered with a hand woven counter
pane, snowy white and a hundred years
old. while above are hangings of white
dotted swtss. The same crisp material,
so loved by our grandmothers, makes
sash curtains at the narrow window*,
drapes the graceful dressing table, cov
er* the huge oheet of drawers, and cov
ers the screen concealing the pictur
esque washstand with Its gold-b&nded
china, handed down from a great
great-grandmother and cherished as
though made of real gold.
Another girl, vainly longing tar tb«
genuine antique, has contented herself
with covering her more modern fur
niture with the green calico with
white dots such as was used in coun
try houses fifty years ago. The effect
is both odd and pretty. The girl dis
claims all credit for It, saying she ob
tained the idea from a Boston fur
nishing house where antique furniture
is done over.
Another aspirant for artistic honor
has covered walls, floor and furniture
of her dainty room in bright red
Christy. The glowing lints are becom
ing and cheerful.
There are dozens of varieties In the
same old ante-bellum theme, and the
woman who erstwhile gloried in her
modern white and gold bed chamber
now hides her diminished head in
shame, for she Is miles behind the.
