8. P. CALLAWAY, Editor A Frop’r.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1893.
Doc CHmeron, the Pennsylvania
Senator, has come over to the oppo
nents of unconditional repeal. He ia
also in favor of State banka, because
It will enable the weak States of the
South to move their cotton without
'dopetiding upon tbo money centres.
Mr. Cameron aaya that his clmuge
of base is' attributable to Mr. Glad-
stotiH’s recent speech, in which he
nays it is England’s interest to up
hold the gold standard. What is
Britain’s interest cannot be Ameri
ca's, and so he apoaks out like a man
lor silver.
Now for bloody-ahlrt waving! The
debato on the election bill is about
to proceed. Congress, wo think,
might hold up on this till silver is
settled. These laws are not hurting us
half as badly just now as the money
pressure. Give us financial relief and
then let the ensanguined garment
flap its dripping folds, if it must. But,
of course, the Reporter wants these
miserable laws blotted out just as
soon as it is politic and practicable
tor the party to do it.
No Cloture on Debate.
Tko Augusta News asks why not
adopt cloture in the Senate? We ans
wer, because there should be one legis
lative body in this country in which
debate should be free and unlimited,
By common consent, this freedom
and fulness of discussion have been
accorded the Senate. There mere
parliamentary devices are tabooed aud
measures stand upon their merits,
not upon the skill or cunning with
■which advantage Is taken or the rules
to force them to a vote. Minorities
have rights that must be • respected.
It were better that unconditional re
peal should wait than that debate
■upon it should be cut off. If the
country is for repeal, it will be the
law. The persistence of the suver
men has a good foundation of reason
and a broad basis cf public opinion
•uadei Death it. They should be Riven
a fair showing. Majorities are some
times fanatical, and other times
Bwayed by the money power.
Douth of Airs. Mourn.
Tills good woman passed to her heaven-
only rest and reward on last Saturday
morning.
Tier death was so triumphant and beau
tiful that 1 feel constrained to soy some
thing of it. She was raised In this county
ami was the wife of Mr. C. II. Hearn.
She died in her thirty-ninth year, nad
been a member of the Wosteiu Church
since her girlhood.
Quietly she lived In the outskirts of our
city, hut little known to a large circle of our
people. Being the mother of several lit
tle children, her opportunities for getting
from home were not good. In manners
she was quiet and unobtrusive.
She had refinement. A'woman of intel
ligence and tine principles. A day or two
before her death she realized what was
coming, and began to talk about the end.
On the day of her death and when the
grim monster had already placed his hand
upon her, she called to her bedside her chil
dren, husband, and friends present and
bade hade them good-bye.
She was composed and resigned, not
contused and rebellious. She counselled
the membe s of her family as to her wishes
for their future. To the writer, when
I had readied her, and she had revived
so as to he able to talk in a feeble voice,
she spoke of her love and trust in Jesus,
and said, “I have offered those children to
God in prayer. I want you to do the
same.” When I had added my prayer to
hers, she had full trust that God would
do for them what was asked. With death
upon her, she said, “I thought death was
something horrible, hut I have such a
sweet sensation creeping over me. I feel
so good. Will he gathered home in the
morning. Best! Rest!” Then she went
from eaivli to glory as only a believer can.
What was it that gave this good woman
such joy and assuiance in her-last hour?
The same God who enabled David to
say, -‘Yea, though I walk through the
valley and the shadow of death, I ’will
fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy
rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.”
G. S. Tumi.in.
With pleasure we make the follow
ing extract from "The Traveler,”
published In New York. Mr. Fannin,
with his elegant wife, lias boon in
our LriGrango for several days, and
Ills visit has been the occasion of a
delightful family gathering at tho
mansion down on Vernon
street, nil the children coming home
to glvo him a greeting. A California
writer in The Traveler sayBt ’’One of
the moat popular travelers of the
coast is Jim Fannin, who represents
0. H. Garden & Co., Philadelphia.
Jim, as ho is commonly knowu, is the
very soul of congoulallty; every
body knows Jim, and Jim knows
everybody, lam free to say that he
could spend a day in each small town,
and several days in the larger, and be
kept busy just shaking hands, Jim
will, in a few days, go on an extended
trip East, accompanied by his oharm-
ing wife, to enjoy a well deserved rest,
after a season of untiring efforts and
close application to hla business.’’

Justice in Georgia.
In looking over the lists of pardons
granted by Gov. Northen, from time
to time and the causes alleged why they
were given, one is struck with the
evidences of the imperfect ad
ministration of justice in this State. It is
the poor and the f' '.endless —terms almost
synonymous—who generally get the full
benefit of the law i.i the imposition of ex
cessive penalties. For instance, down
in Bibb, a poor hoy, who was unable to
hire an attorney to defend him, was sent
lip for four years for cr.tt’e-stealing. The
Governor set him free the other day, after
lie had served nearly three. He ac
knowledged his guilt in his letter to his
Excellency. But why was he not as
signed the best counsel by the court? Why
should the Executive bo constrained to
turn a man out of the gang because of a
lurking suspicion that the man’s poverty
facilitated his conviction?
Another man, a miserable, drivelling
victim of the opium hab't, broke into a
drug store to get a little liquor with which
to stimulate a diseased stomach and dis
ordered nerves. A tv. ye.v sentence
satisfied the demands of justice in his
case. The Governor rightly concluded
that clemency would not be misplaced in
turning liim loose.
It is evident that the fixing of the sal
aries of judges at so cheap a figure has
done much to lower the tone of our
courts.
No doubt, there are many more such
pitiful eases as those cited above, of which
the Governor will never hear. Those*
who do appeal to him usually have friends
to press their cause.

a earning Children Politeness.
Children nre too often left totally un
instructed in those small courtesies of
everyday life which go so far to make
our domestic and social relations bar
monious. They should be taught, al
most from infancy, to be polite, to enter
and leave a room properly, to respect
their elders, to remove their hats when
they enter a house, to seat themselves
quietly instead of throwing themselves
boisterously upon chairs or lounges, to
close doors gently and to do many other
tilings naturally and politely which they
now do awkwardly and rudely, simply
because they have never been instructed
otherwise.
A little time devoted each day to this
gloriously good work will surely bring
an ample return in the end—will, in fact,
bear good fruit from the very beginning,
Bince a child who is being taught to he
polito is at the same time learning con
sideration for others and so is cultivat-
iug unselfishness of character. In tho
same way a child who is encouraged to
be orderly, to do little offices for itself,
such as folding up its clothes or putting
a hat or toy in its proper place, is not
only mastering one of the most valuable
of lessons, but is also saving the mother
many weary steps in the present and
heartaches in after years.—Housekeeper.

Literary Men’s Love of Praise.
Robert Buchanan recently had a dia
tribe against the Author’s club and the
desire for money upon- the part of tho
literary. Now he has a fresh letter on
the “demoralizing effect of the pursuit
of fame.” “More than one of our great
writers,” he says, “paid the spiritual
penalty of inordinate literary success,
Tennyson, we know, suffered tortures
from the slightest breath of adverse
criticism. George Eliot, kept by G. H.
Lewes in a moral hothouse, screened
from every bleak wind that blows, said
to me on one occasion, with an air of
beatific superiority, ‘I think Mr. Dick
ens has done a great deal of good.’ The
good, the only Dickens, endured agonies
of mortified vanity when a book of his
failed to reach the high water mark of
sale and profit. Even those who have to
wait long and wearily for appreciation
are seldom content to estimate the world’s
opinion at its exact worth. Browning,
, according to Leigli Hunt, hungered ea
gerly for the praise of even his washer
woman.”
