The Chronicle & Sentinel learns
that Sir. Stephens will accept the nomin
ation to Congress recently unanimously
tendered him by the nominating conven
tion of the 8th District.
Col. Wm. McKinley.
W e are gratified at the demonstrations
of favor which our suggestion of the
nomination of Col. McKinley as a candi
date for Representative in the next Leg-
slative has met with. To meet the’crisis
ably and fully; to redeem Georgia from
the folly and extravagance of keeping the
capital in Atlanta; to secure pure and
economical administration of the State
Government uncorrupted by Kimballisin
and purified from the Bond Ring influ
ence, the seat of government must be re
moved from Atlanta. Here are all the
public buildings, ready and waiting. Here
is the geographical centre of the State,
accessible at all hours by railroads con
verging hither from four different direc
tions. Col. McKinley has the tact, the pro
foun dlegal and constitutional learning, the
suavity of manners and in short all the
qualities to constitute him a leader in any
legislative body.

time of life than those excitements

comitants of public station. Col.
AKinley is thoroughly aware of the
truth of the adage of Long Bacon, that
‘■Men in public station are thrice servants
—servants of the state, servants of fame,
and servants of business.” We are sure
that Col. McKinley does not desire the
nomination. And we will add that we are
sure beyond doubt that he will wield a
power for our good and the good of our
whole State if he becomes our Represen
tative, that probably no other citizen of
our County can command. We know
that he is bitterly opposed to the pay
ment of the repudiated Bullock-Kimball
bonds; and his great abilities, and his
legal skill will be needed in the fight
against their payment as well as in that
for the restoration of the Capital.
We wish to say, however, that we in
dividually, and in the columns of the
Union and Recorder, shall cheerfully sup
port the nominee of the Convention to
assemble hero next Saturday, the 12th
inst. Our advocacy of Col. McKinley
has not sprung from the slightest dislike
to any gentleman we have hear d spoken
of in connexion with the nomination; but
•tone from our conviction that he will
^rrove our most effective champion at this
particular crisis. If our life is in serious
jeopardy from illness, we should call to
our bedside the most skillful physician,
although we might have far greater
personal liking for another, but less skill
ful. But if our convention of next Satur
day leaves Col. McKinley in his chosen
retirement, which he greatly prefers, none
shall be more zealous in the support of
the nominee than the Union and Recor
der.
A Blessed Fright*
Nearly three thousand years ago, an
exceedingly wise man penned the proverb
famous ever since, “The wicked floe
when no man pursueth,’ but we doubt if
ever before, in all these many ages sinco
it was written, was there a happier illus
tration of its truth than was afforded at
Columbia, S. C. one night last week. One
Mr. Long (long may he prosper and be
happy!) of that noble but fated little
city, went out one moonsliiny night with
a few friends on a fox-chase. The honnds
soon discovered the track of sly rcynard,
and the cheering shouts of the merry
huntsmen were borne from the hills on the
midnight air into the sleeping city. They
reached the guilty ears of the corrupt
Gov. Moses and his co-carpet-baggers
Patterson and Neagle. A dread of right
eous judgment to come assailed their
alarmed bosoms, they fled to the U. S.
military quarters, invoked the protecting
care of the Commandant of the Post for
the time being—one Capt. Ogden, who
Was equal to the exigency, and informed
the fugitives that he had no authority to
interfere without orders from liis superi
ors ! We can fancy an immense smile
lighting up the soul of the gallant Ogden
at this cowardly and absurd appeal for
protection when none was needed. The
frightened carpet-baggers then telegraph
ed the President at Long Branch; but no
reply came. The fox-hunters returned
the next morning with the captured game,
and Mr. Long (long may he flourish!)
unlike the royal Henry of England, has
“smiled again” repeatedly since learning
how he unconsciously caused the carped
baggers to tremble in their boots. The
latter got up an absurd rumor that five
hundred Ku-Kluxes from Augusta, Ga.
were rushing forward with horns and
hounds to capture carpet-baggerism
generally, and the villianous Moses in
particular. Their supposition failed on
the ground that it was “too good to be
true*”’
Wilcox fob Col. Kibbee.—At a meeting
of the citizens of Wilcox, held at Abbe
ville on the 22d of August, for the
Mr. Stephens nominated for Om«
gross.
In the 8th District Mr. Stephens was
renominated for Congress after a long
day and night contest. An interesting
account will be found in another oolumn.
The selection of Mr. Stephens is one
that the State and nation will gladly en
dorse, if he is physically capable of at
tending to the duties. If he is not, there
is too nrach necessity for the nse in Con
gress of all the available statesmanship
that the Sonth and Georgia possess, for
him to be retained in a position whose
duties he cannot discharge. No man or
men have a profounder respect for Mr.
Stephens than the editors of tills paper.
Bat if he cannot do a Congressman’s
work, it is a silly and barren sacrifice of
a high office to bestow a Congressman’s
place upon him.
We sincerely hope that he may be able
to go to Washington and serve us in
Congress. If he cannot, we say in the
spirit of entire courtesy to him, that he
should give way to some one who can.
We take a practical view of this mat**
ter. We need such men as Mr. Stephens
in the National Councils. And we trust
that he may long be spared, and permit
ted to enjoy the physical vigor, that will
enable him to be an active public servant.
[Atlanta Herald.
We believe that Mr. Stephens' empty
seat in Congress would effect more good
for the South and the Republic at large,
than a dozen seats filled with such men
as belong to his revilers and persecutors.
The Seventh District.
Gen. P. M. B. Young has been super
seded in the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict by the nomination of Col. Trammell,
the President of our State Senate, as ap
pears from the following extract from a
letter to the Augusta Chronicle and Sen
tinel:
Intelligence has jnst reached here that
Colonel L. N. Trammell, of Dalton, was
to-day nominated for Congress in the
Seventh Congressional District Several
parties in this city, since the news of his
nomination has reached here, have de
clared that they knew of a certainty he
would be nominated. The majority rule
was adopted. Indeed, this rule is fast
becoming customary as the one most
likely to carry out the wishes of the peo
ple. There are not a few who say that
Mr. Trammell secured his nomination by
proclaiming very recently his purpose to
use his influence to secure the passage
and adoption of the amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting the payment of
the bogus bonds.
Tbe Speakership.
We perceive that the Atlanta “Ring
is already marshaling its forces to secure
for E. F. Hoge of that city the Speaker-
ship of the House of Representatives in
the next Legislature.
We have nought to say against Mr.
Hoge personally. We have a slight ac
quaintance with him, which has alw&jg
been sufficiently polite, and_<HHii« side
flatteringly condescending. He is a gen
tleman of fair intelligence; and if made
the Sweater would probably discharge,
tlie difficult duties of that station with
reasonable success. One thing he would
do, contrary as we believe to the best in
terests of Georgia: He would exert all
of his influence as the leader of the House
of Representatives in bitter hostility
against the restoration of the Capital to
Milledgeville. In that respect, he would
be the subservient instrument of the At
lanta “Ring,” and the enemy of a pure
and economical administration of our
State Government. Not merely are our
people of Milledgeville interested in this
matter. The honest tax payors all over
the State would be sufferers, all.
In the present able and accomplished
Speaker, Col. A. O. Bacon, are to be
found all the requirements of a good pre
siding officer of a Legislative body;
and we hope he may again represent Bibb
county, and preside over the House as
Speaker. This accomplished legislator
and gentleman lias the advantage of experi
ence in the Speakership—an advantage
difficult for any one to estimate at its
true value if he has never had legisla
tive experience. Georgia can furnish
twenty better Speakers than Mr. Hoge.

The Nomination Yesterday.
A remarkable feature in the Congres
sional Convention which met in this city
day before yesterday was, that it was not
until after there had been twenty-two
ballotings that any formal annonneement
of a candidate was made.
The first balloting showed that Cum-
zning and Matthews were the strongest
men before the Convention. Messrs.
Lewis and Rucker came in for their share
of votes, but Cumming and Matthews
continued ahead of the other two, with
out, however, any prospect that either
of them would receive the nomination.
This was the state of things when, upon
the call for the twenty-third ballot, Col.
Clark, of the Oglethorpe delegation—Mat
thews’ supporters—rose and, saying
that he was convinced that there would
be no nomination of either of the
gentlemen voted for up to that time,
withdrew the name of Col. J. D.
Matthews and announced that of the
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens. Then the
friends of the Hon. Miles W. Lewis with
drew his name in favor of Mr. Stephens,
and the balloting from that time till the
one hundred and eleventh, inclusive, (with
the exception of one, we believe, on which
two votes were cast for Rucker) was di
vided between Mr. Stephens and Maj
Cumming, the latter never going above
20 23-30, nor below 16 1-3. This state
of things continued from the time of the
withdrawal of Matthews and Lewis and
the announcement of Mr. Stephens’
name, which was late in the afternoon,
throughout the live-long night* till day
break of Thursday, September 3d; Mr.
Stephens, from the eighty sixth to the
oue hundred and eleventh ballots, inclu
sive, lacking a vote of but one and two-
fifths of having the majority which had
been, by the rule of the Convention, made
necessary to a nomination.
Jnst as day was beginning to break,
and after the hundred and twelfth ballot
had been called, ex-Gov. Jenkins an*
nouncod the withdrawal of the name of
Major Cumming, and requested that Mr.
Stephens be unanimously nominated
When the applause which followed this
announcement had ceased Mr. Black ask
ed the Convention to give a hearing to
Major Cumming, who, on being intro
dneed by Mr. Black, amid great cheer
ing, tendered his thanks in a most grace
ful manner to the friends who had sup
ported him so long and faithfully, and
earnestly asked them to confer one more
favor upon him by giving a hearty and
unanimous support to Mr. Stephens, not
only herd, in the nomination, but at the
polls. Mr. Stephens was then nomina
ted amid loud acclamation.—Constitu

Washing ton, September 3.—Attorney
General Williams returned to Washington
from Long Branch this morning, Secreta
ry Belknap lias also returned and a con
sultation was held at the War Depart
ment to-day between tbe Attorney Gener
al, Secretary Belknap and Secretary Bris
tow. The conference it is understood
had reference to the condition of affairs
in the South.
Senator Chandler, who is here, arrived
at the War Department daring the con
sultation and was in attendance. What
the resnlts of this meeting are, cannot be
definitely ascertained at this hour. But
it is intimated by excellent authority, that
immediate official action of an important
character will be taken. Senator \\ est is
also here and had an interview with the
Secretary of War this morning.
It is reported though without official
authority, that the Attorney General will
to day issue instructions to the United
States Marshals in the South to summon
a posse comitatus to assist in repelling all
violations of the public peace, such a3 it
is alleged have recently occurred in many
portions of the South, and that in the
event of their failure to prevent infrac
tions of the peace troops will be called on
to preserve order.
The President Znstrncts the Secre*
tary of War to Order Troops to
the Sonth.
The following letter was received here
to-day.
Long Branch, N. J. Sept. 2, 1874.
Gen. W. W. Belknap, Secretary/ of
War.
The recent attrocities in the South, par
ticularly in Louisiana, Alabama and
Sonth Carolina, show a disregard for the
laws, civil rights and personal protection
that ought not to be tolerated in any
civilized Government. It looks as if un
less speedily checked matters must be
come worse until life and property there
will receive no protection from the local
authorities until such authority becomes
powerless. Under such circumstances it
is the duty of the Government to give all
the aid for the protection of life and civil
rights legally authorized. To this end I
wish you would consult with the Attor
ney General, who is well informed as to
the outrages already committed and lo
calities where the greatest danger lies,
and so order troops so as to be available
in cases of necessity. All proceedings
for the protection of the South will be
under the law department of the Govern
ment, and will be directed by the Attora
ney General in accordance with the pro
visions of the enforcement acts. No in
structions need, therefore, be given the
troops ordered into the Southern States,
except as they may be transmitted ff^in
time to time on advice from th^ attorney
General, or as circumstances may deter
mine liergafter'
Yours truly, U. S. Grant.
Result of the Conference at the War
Department—Instructions to Uni
ted States Attorney and Marshals.
As a result of the conference held at
the War Department this morning, be
tween Secretaries Bristow, Belknap and
Attorney General Williams, the following
circular was issued this afternoon, at two
o’clock, to United States Attorneys and
Marshals. It has the approval of the
President—the substantial parts of the
same having been communicated to him
during an interview wfth the Attorney
General at Long Branch:
Department of Justice, 1
Washington, September 3, 1874. j
Sir : Outrages of various descriptions,
and in some cases attrocious murders, have
been committed in your District by bod
ies of armed men, sometimes in disguise,
and with the view, it is believed, of over
awing and intimidating peaceable and
law-abiding citizens and depriving them
of the rights guaranteed to them by the
Constitution and laws of the United
States. Your attention is directed to an
act of Congress passed April 9, I860,
entitled “An act to protect all persons in
the United States in their civil rights,
and to furnish means for their vindication,”
and to another, passed April 20, 1870,
entitled “An act to enforce the provisions
of the 14tli amendment to the Constitu
tion of the United States, and for other
purposes also, to one passed May 30,
1870, entitled “An act to enforce the right
of citizens of the United States to vote
in the several States of this Union, and
for other purposes,” which, with their
amendments, make the deeds of violence
and blood offenses within the jurisdiction
of the General Government. I consider
it my duty, in view of the circumstances,
to instruct you to proceed with all possi
ble energy and dispatch to detect, expose,
arrest and punish perpetrators of these
crimes, and to that end you are to spare
no effort or necessary expense. Troops
of the United States will be stationed at
different and convenient points in your
district, for the purpose of giving all need
ful aid in the discharge of your official
duties. You understand of course that
no interference whatever is hereby inten
ded with any political or party action not
in violation of law, but protection to all
classes of citizens, white and colored, in
the froe exercise of the elective franchise
and the enjoyment of other rights and
privileges to which they are entitled under
the constitution and laws as citizens of
the United States. The instructions are
issued by the authority of the President
and with the concurrence of the Secretary
of War.
Very respectfully,
Geo. H. Williams,
Attorney General.

Tilton on Plymouth Church.
According to George Alfred Towns
end, the following is Mr. Tillon’s present
estimate of Plymouth Church and its
influence in Brooklyn:
“Well,” said Tilton, “it is a kind of
club house, with female attendants. There
are about 2,200 members. There are
also about fifty very rich and cordial men
in the church, who look on it in the light
of a social club. They are generally
worldly men, who like Beecher and the
snappy, smartisB things he has to say,
his humor and his company; and they
put up their money, rejoice in the institu
tion, and otherwise play poker, go to the
theatre, or what not. Beecher is a mag
nificent preacher, fall of things which
touch the sensibilities of people, and a
vast mass of women go there for their
souls to be comforted and made good.
Now put these two elements together,
the warmth and belief of all these women,
the wealth and public spirit of those
men, and you can make, in a detached,
dullish town like Brooklyn, an institution
equal to a merchants’ exchange. There
are plenty of men belonging to Plymouth
church who do not care whether Beecher
is a debauchee or not.”

Sagacity of Birds in Choosing their
Nesting-places.
Tho sagacity of birds in choosing as
sites for their nests localities where they
will be secure against the attacks of their
enemies is well illustrated by several ex
amples given by Mr. Belt. “On the, sa
vannahs,” says he, “between Acoyapo and
Nancital, there is a shrub, with sharp
curved prickles, called Viena paraca
(come here) by the Spaniards, because it
is difficult to extricate oneself from its
bold when the dress is caught; as one
part in cleared another will be entangled.
A yellow and brown fly catcher builds its
nest in these bushes, and generally places
it alongside that of a banded wasp; so
that with the prickles and the wasps it is
well guarded.” The author, however,
witnessed the death of one of the birds
from the very means it had chosen for the
protection of its young. Darting hur
riedly out of its domed nest, it was
caught just under its bill by one of the
curved, hook like thorns, and trying to
extricate itself got further entangled. Its
fluttering disturbed the wasps, who flew
down upon it, and in less than a minute
stnng it to death.
The different species of orioles of tropi
cal America choose high, smooth barked
trees, standing apart from others, from
which to hang their pendulous nests.
Monkeys cannot get at them from the
tops of other trees, and any predatory
mammal attempting to’ascend the smooth
trunks would be greatly exposed to the
attacks of the birds, armed as they are
with strong, sharp-pointed beaks. A
small paiTot builds constantly on the
plains, in a hole made in the nests of the
tenuities, and several other birds hang
their nests from the extremities of the
branches of the bull's horn thorn.

Radical Nominations.—Up to the pre

2d District — R. H. Whitely, of Deca

3d District—Jack Brown of Sumter.
5th* District—J. C. Freeman,jof Spald

The Athens “Georgian” says that the
Young Men’s Democratic Club have pass
ed a resolution for the Legislature to
create a new connty out of Clarke, and
against the bonds.
The McDuffie “Journal” says of the
nomination Of Charles S. DuBose for
Senator:
“We were in the Convention, and can
not refrain from saying a few words about
our confrere, Maj. C. E. McGregor, of
the “Clipper,” a delegate from ’Warren.
From the opening of the Convention un
til the nomination was made, there was a
hard fought straggle between Warren
and the other two counties for the Sena
te rsh ip. McGregor went there to whip
the fight, and did it. He evinced great
skill, tact and ability, and while his col-
legues, Morgan, Hartridge, and others,
stood faithful, still we think Warren coun
ty is indebted to Maj. MeGregor for se
curing to her the Senatorship, and for the
elevation of her worthy citizen, Chas. S.
DuBose.”
Lincoln county has Mr. N. A. Craw
ford for regular nominee for Legislature,
and Maj. Mosely Hawes for independent.
The Augusta “Constitutionalist” says
this of General Toombs:
“He said Stephens ought to be re-elec

or not. He thought it very unfortunate
for the country that so many persons not
well qualified should be struggling to ob

BAZAINE S ESCAPE.
The True Story at Last-
The tecta stated in the following letter
were communicated to the Paris corres
pondent of the London Hour by tbenepli
ew of Marshal Bazaine:
Mine. Bazaine—who, let our Reds say
what they like, will have a place in his
tory as one of the most plucky of her sex
—is within three months of becoming a
mother. Some short time ago, being ex
ceedingly anxious—as most ladies are—
to have her husband near her daring her
time of trouble, she asked the Govern
ment to allow her to take up her resi
dence, with a view to her confinement, in
the prison where Bazaine was detained.
This was refused; and refused even in a
manner which left a good deal to be de
sired on the part of kindness, or even
civility. MacMahon was not in fault
The subordinate who received and re
plied to Mme. Bazaine’s petition was one
of the few Republicans who still hang
about the Minister of the Interior’s office.
Not being able to gain her point she
then petitioned the President of the Re
public direct asking him to commute
the sentence passed upon the Marshal in
to one of banishment from France. This
too was refused, and, although MacMah-
pn gave particular orders that his answer
Should be conveyed in as gentle language
as possible, and it was written in what I
may be permitted to call Republican
French—brutal and almost offensive
words. Madame then pat herself in com
munication with the Marshal's brother
and others of his relatives, and it was de
termined to effect his escape.
He is now sixty-two years of age and
weighs at the very least some sixteen
stone. To believe that such a man and
at his age could slip down a rope hang
ing over a cliff that is nearly forty feet
high is an astonishing piece of credulity
even for a French journalist. The Mar
shal walked out of the door of his prison
a little before daylight on Monday, and
yet there was no one inside the fort who
was privy to his act or who played the
traitor to the Government The plan was
very simple indeed. For some week be
fore hand a disguise had been prepared
by Mme. Bazaine herself. Bit by bit
this was brought cutside the fort and
hidden. The Marshal never slept in his
bed that night but a lay figure was
put there to deceive the Governor when
he locked up for the night. Before day
break, about 4:45 a. m., the gates of the
foft were epened as usual and some of

Even now the popular belief is that 15a
zaine, a heavy unwieldy man, who for
more than two years has hardly taken
enough exercise to maintain him in or
dinary health, who is moreover, 62 years
of age, was able to scramble down a
height of thirty or more feet by means of
a not-over-stout rope, and to make his
way to a boat which must have been
dancing upon the waves at the risk of be
ing dashed to pieces, so stormy was the
night, so high the wind, and so great the
downfall of rain - In the boat he found
a near relative and his brave wife, the lat
ter holding an oar and helping to keep
the boat in its place.
The rest is soon told. On board the
steamer they were watching for the boat,
and when the latter put off fr om the is
land the steamer came slowly towards it.
In a quarter of an hour he was on board,
in two hours he was on Italian ground,
and before night he had traveled by train
to the house of—I will not say who—in
Belgium, because it is possible French
Republicans may read the Hour, and
worthy gentlemen may get into trouble
for being mixed up in a plot which every
honest man must rejoice has succeeded.

Canned Frait vs. Fresarves.
A correspondent of the Rural New-
Yorker says, in tevor of canned frait:
“As to preserves in comparison with
canned fruit, one spoonful of the former
will *broil’ and distress a stomach that is
the least disordered; while the same per
son might eat a saucerful of the same
fruit kept in its natural state with only
good resulting therefrom. It is my can
did belief that preserving frait in cans
was especially invented for the benefit
of the poor dyspeptic, preserves-eating
Americans."

If you ever heard a little create si
or sobbing in its sleep, you weald never
do this. Seal their closing eyelids with
a kiss and a blessing. The time will
oome, too soon, when they will lie on
their pillows, lacking both. Let them,
then, at least have this sweet memory of
a happy childhood, of which no future
sorrow can rob them. Give them their
rosy youth. Nor need this involve wild
lioense. The judicious parent will not
so mistake my meaning. If yon have
ever met the man, or the woman, whose
eves have suddenly filled when a little
(mild hah crept trustingly to its mother’s
breast, you may have seen one in whose

stood where Love and Pity should have
been. Too much indulgence has ruined
thousands of children; too much Love

Circular of the Attorney • General
We call attention to tho circular issued

the telegraphic columns of this morning’s
issue. It is firm, and embodies the slight

tainment by some people of the North
toward the white people of the South
We sincerely deplore the necessity felt
by the General Government of sending
United States troops ip force into the

the nse that will be made of them by the
infamous wretches in power in South

bland :
I have been solicited and begged by
my friends, both Republicans and Demo
crats, to ran as an independent candi
date, but I do not desire the nomination
nor the office, and I say to you that I will
not ran. Many Democrats, as well as
Republicans, have asked me to run, and,
in fact, some of the Griffin Convention
delegates, but I do not desire the office
and will not run. I would prefer a seat
in the Georgia Legislature to a seat in
Congress, as I am in for the good and
progress of Georgia, and I desire her
success more than anything else.

“Mrs. Holmes, for the greater por

She had a great deal of trouble during
the later years of her life, and there is
hardly any doubt that her troubles prey
ed upon her mind until her reason be
came impaired, and that it was in this
mental condition that she committed the
awful act. In addition to her other
troubles she has, for some time, been in
bad health."
Fighting Poison with Poison.
[South Bend (Ind.) Tribune.]
As an illustration of the power of one
poison to counteract another in the hu
man system, a recent case in this city
furnishes a highly important and interes
ting instance. We give the statement as
related to us by Dr. Harris, who was
oalled to tbe relief of a would be suicide,
and who administered the successful an
tidote. The person had taken between
forty and fifty grains of opinm, and was
fast dying. He could no longer swallow,
his extremities were cold and had turned
black, while his respirations only number
ed between six and seven to the minute.
This last of itself seemed to indicate that
all hope was gone, as anything less than
eight respirations a minute had hereto
fore been known.as a sure precursor of
death. As a last resort, the doctor
determined to try heroic treatment, and
he accordingly, with a hypodermic sy
ringe, injected two-thirds of a drachm of
nux-vomica dissolved in a teaspoonful of
water beneath the skin over the heart,
stomach, spine, and on each arm above
the elbow, and on the calf of each leg.
The quantity of nux-vomica would have
been the death of any well man in exis
tence, but in antagonism to the opium it
wag in this seemingly hopeless case an
agent of life, and in fifteen minutes the
man was sitting up in bed, conscious,
and rapidly recovering.

President Porter, of Yale College, gave
the following advice to the students of

“Young men, you are the architects of
your own fortune. Rely on your own
strength of body and soul. Take for
your guiding star self reliance. Subscribe
on your banner; ‘Luck is a fool; Pluck is
a hero.’ Don’t take too much advice—
keep at your helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the great art of
commanding is to take a fair share of the
work. Think of yourself. Strike out.
Assume your own position. Put pota
toes in a cart, over a rough road, the
small ones go to the bottom. Rise above
the envious and jealous. Fire above the
mark you intend to hit Energy, invin

are the levers that move the world. Don’t
drink, Don’t chew, Don’t smoke, Don’t
swear. Don’t deceive.—Don’t read no

generous. Be civil. Bead the papers.
Advertise your business.—Make money
and do good with it Love your God
and fellow men. Love truth and virtue.
Love your country and obey its laws.”
