Berner tue‘ governorship, but it was tue

OIM has will expressed It, "lie addressed
an audience tnai had gathered to hear
Judge Atkinson.” And it ail reports be
Hue, he spoke Judge Atkinson’s speech
—though Just a little more to the point.
It is not then, to be wondered at mat
Judge Atkinson,instead of publishing his
letter of announcement on Saturday, as
■was intended, hurried back to headquarters
■with it, dumbfounded, chagrined, dis
gusted. While he was putting the finish
ing touches on his long looked lor and
much heralded letter, and submitting it
to the censors of Governor Atkinson’s po
litical household. Bob Heiner had dashed
oil a meteoric announcement that fairly lit
up thu political lirmaiuent with its bril
liancy.
By that one act he split the anti-Candler
vote In two—-some say he will get the big
ger half and placed himself in position to
dictate terms later, or In ease there is any
political Hading to be done. If it doesn't
make Berner governor this time, it at least
gives him the inside track in the next
race, and the latter result will suit his
purpose just about as well.
Bui why this startling coup? people arc
asking. Why has Berner cut loose from
tire Atkinson crowd? Berner, as many
know, was never too thick with Bill At
kinson, but he had stood by the latter in
many bitter fights, and had made some
sacrifices to fufther Atkinson’s ambition.
But Heiner was too brilliant a leader for
Atkinson to repay in the manner and at
llie time that would best suit Berner. Un
der ordinary circumstances Atkinson
might have been willing enough to square
his political debt with the Monroe states
mian, but he couldn’t afford to give him
Kite governorship, to be used, later on, as
u <'lub to keep Atkinson himself,out of the
senate. Atkinson’s game was and is to
iput in the gubernatorial chair a man of
less consequence and far less ability.
Knowing Joe Terrell’s absolute loyalty to
him. he had first determined to make Ter
rell governor. But the Hon. Joe conceived
the notion that he would only be made a
monkey of instead, so he declined with
thanks—and a tiibute to the influence of
Governor Atkinson's name in Georgia pol
ities.
Terrell’s withdrawal nettled Yates, but
the reason given therefor rankled in his
bosom. By the eternal, he would show them
a thing or two yet; he would risk his all
i n the last card. He would not only name
iiis successor in office, but that successor
should also bear the name of Atkinson. He
vision, declares that the cast iron pipe
distilled damp tool he had made of him
self, and incidentally teach the people to
retyped his political mandates, and never
again to take advantage of his absence
from the state to reject his accredited po
litical representative.
But what has all of this go to do with
Bob Berner? Just this. Governor Atkin
son had persistently refused to look toward
Monroe county for a man to take Joe Ter
rell’s place, notwithstanding his knowledge
of the fact that there was available tim
ber in that quarter. William Yates’ ina
bility to think of Monroe county while
casting about for his political successor,
grew painful in the latter stages of Mr.
Berner’s boom incubation. At last he saw
it all; Atkinson wanted a successor who
would be subservient, who would remain
out of his way, who would give him no
trouble in the future. Then all the fire
and energy in the Monroe man’s make up
was aroused. He saw his chance; he
swooped down on the Atkinson tents while
their occupants were asleep, created con
sternation and alarm, was off and gone
almost before any one knew he had been
there, and by the break of day was in the
field and ready to give battle to all comers.
Are they rattled? Well, in the words
of the poet they had orter be. Here the
■whole Atkinson contingent has seen itself
outgeneraled, surprised in their own camp
and almost routed by one man, single
handed and alone, without having a horde
of trusty staff officers to consult with. It
is almost enough to make Bill Atkinson
give up the game of politics.
, course that Atkinson announcement
will have to come, because there’s now no
way out of it. Tut it will not have that
cock-of-the-walk air about it that would
have cnaracterized it had the original doc
ument been produced on time. Mr -\t
kinson is now painfully aware of the fact
that—there are others. Teo blamed nrrv
others. ' *
The Cochran Telegram has this to <=av
of Allen D. Candler:
“We believe that instead cf the letter
hurting his candidacy it will help him. He
is a man that dares, even in the face of h s
enemies, to say things that he knows to be
true, when he knows that they will use it
in an attempt to defeat him. He is the
kind of a man the people want. He is the
kind of man that the people can count on.
He is the kind of man that is not afraid
to speak his opinion. He is a man that
would dare do his duty. He is a man
that honor counts more with than politi
cal achievements. He is a man that fears
not the political ring that has so long
controlled in this state.”
An exchange says: "The hour demands
a man." The Savannah Press suggests
Mrs. Lease for the occasion.
The Sunday Question.
Last week, Wednesday, the association
of tue churche* of oid New York and
Brooklyn met in tue latter borougn to dis
cuss the Sunuay question, iter. O. 1. »v.
Hathaway made me surprising sia.ieme.it
mat thi-s ua.iun is abvut to change .. nxs
wiio the people of France. Inal country,
he said, has been an nabitual breaker or
the babiiath in the past, out .o n» o*n as
tonishment is developing runtan ideas in
the present. Our osn nation, tounded on
Puritanism in tne past,, is h a ia practical
po**e«alou oi a "coauac-nial” Sunday. D,.
fiatnaway ma.ntained tnat Goa nad
created me aay lor rest, and if ns sacr-.d
character was denied the bulwark ol our
liberties was imperiled.
Ihe Rev. Dr. Hoot took a very different
view of the question, he declared that it
he Were shut up m a factory ail the week
he would mount a bicycle on bunday af
ternoon, and gel into the country as fas:
as his leg* would carry him.
He went on to say that brain, and brawn
when pressed tp tue point of exhaustion,
could not be expected to keep Sunday
our fathers did. Honest conviction mas.
I,e respected, and al! days are equally sa
cred. The Sunday newspaper, he said, bad
come to stay, and resolutions against it
availed no more than did Mrs. Parting
ton’s broom against the high ude Nor
did he believe tne heavens would fall if
bands of music were heard in .he parks
l»y the cloakmakers and other wage earr.-
rs on Sunday afternoons. The observ
ance of Sunday, he said, rests with the in
dividual, and not with the opinions of
churchmen.
As a certain supreme court judge re- j
marked when he read Bob Berner's an
nouncement, the only thing left for Judge
.clkinson to do is to write a concurrent
opinion.
They Defy the Law.
The United States circuit court of ap
peals for me Sixth district, in a recent de
cision, declares that the cast iron pipe
ti usi, and therefore all other trusts, are:
1. in violation of the common law, and
lienee* illegal and criminal, whetner a stat
ute law exists against them or not.
2. in violation of the inter-state com
merce law.
3. In violation of the federal -anti-trust
Jaw (tne Sherman act), and holds that
these propositions are true, regardless of
liie prices charged for the product. Yet
in the face ot all this, the Sugar Trust,
the Oil Trust, the Coal Trust, and the
other one hundred and forty odd trusts,
openly and defiantly trample the law un
der their feet in every state and territory
in the Union, with no officer of the law
•>worn to see it executed, to bring them
to punishment!
Sam Jones says Allen D. Candler is one
of the biggest and best men God ever put
in Georgia. And Sam never liked a little
man or a mean man in his life.
Neglect of Vaccination in Northern London.
Here is something for the Anti-vaccina
tionists to think over, provided their prej
udices ever allow them to give any real
thought to the subject:
The London Lancet says that if Isling
ton is again overtaken by one of those
great, epidemics of smallpox which have
affected it more than once in the last
twenty-seven years, it will not be the
fault of its indefatigable health officer, Mr.
Alfred E. Harris. Mr. Harris has just
published some statistics which may well
alarm that public of this great parish.
These figures show that there has been a
steady increase in the neglect of vacci
nation in the last twelve years, so that,
whereas in 1885 of 9,683 children born only
8 per cent, were finally accounted for; in
1896 of 9,752 children born no less than
22.4 per cent, are unaccounted for. Such
wholesale violation of law Is doubtless the
fault of the guardians' more than of the
inhabitants. It is nothing short of a scan
dal that a board of guardians should over
ride the wisdom of the legislature. The
vestry of Islington has very properly pro
tested against the guardians being in this
matter the sanitary authority. One thing,
however, is clear, that if at the approach
ing election of guardians this question is
not put into the very front of those on
which the election will turn, the inhabi
tants will then become responsible for the
unprotected state of the children, and for
general treason to the teachings of science
and of common observation.
Last week United States Treasurer Rob
erts sent Mr. Morgan, the retiring treas
urer. at his home in Bridgeport, Conn., a
receipt for $796,925,434.17, the amount of
government money, bonds, etc, turned over
to him on taking charge of the. office June
30, 1897. The several items in the amount
are as follows: Cash, $198,107,419.04;
treasurer’s transfer account, $26,036,568.24;
United States paper currency in reserve
vault, $301,952,000; certificates of deposits
unsigned, $1,520,000: bonds and other se
curities held Hi trust, $269,309,451.89. The
shortage of $856 found on a recount of the
cash was made good by Mr. Morgan, the
retiring treasurer.
Cleveland's Bragg, of Wisconsin, in a
recent speech in Chicago, smirched a well
earned reputation as a soldier by making
a furious attack upon southern Democrats,
declaring that they w>ere trying to do polit
ically what they failed to do in battle,
namely, destroy the government. Had the
southern delegates supported the General
for vice president in the national conven
tion, he would doubtless have expressed a
different opinion of southern Democracy.
But such is the frailty of vain, weak hu
man nature when “sieklied o’er with the
pale cast ' of blighted ambition.
Congressman Clayton, of Alabama, suc
ceeded last week in having a bill pass the
house to restore land bounties io the sol
diers of the Indian wars of 1836, and the
Mexican war, who had been deprived of
the right by an actof congress because of
the right by an act of congress because of
Confederates. The bill now goes to the
senate, where it is likely to pass.
i One of Nature’s Noblemen.
There was laid to his eternal sleep at
Macon yesterday by his nine sons, who
acted as pallbearers, one of whom we
might say with the immortal bard;
He was a man, take him ail in all.
We shall net look upon his like again.
Benjamin Lawton Willingham, stalwart
in stature, masterly in mind, modest in
manner, a maker of much money, with a
great, golden heart, he was a magnificent
man—“strong and great, a hero.”
Genial, charitable, affectionate and cour
teous. overflowing with hospitality, nong,
knew him but to love him and admire his
splendid qualities and sturdy characteris
tics. His indomitable will power and en
ergy, his high honor and his success in
business caused him to be a noted man in
his community, yet he would never accept
enne or political honors. He was of that
old fashioned type of southern gentlemen
now fading fast away whose rugged char
acters stand among humanity like the
rocks of Gibraltar in nature.
T.i,» glorious Christian man was no
tabiy a friend to young men. His advice
often sought, was freely given. Many
young men in Georgia can look back to his
friendly aid and encouragement for the
success ;hey have achieved in life. His
life has been an inspiration to all young
men who ever met him.
He was the father of seventeen children,
thirteen of whom are living. His nine
ons are splendid specimens of phvsical
manhood, true and upright in character,
exerting a strong moral Influence in the
coirmunities in which they reside. His
third son, Dr. Robert J. Willingham, is
secretary of the foreign mission board of
the Southern Baptist Convention, and is
doing a grand work for spreading the gos
pel. The other sons are successful mer
chants, farmers and manufacturers.
Few men ever leave behind so blessed a
memory as Benjamin Lawton Willingham.
How beauuiful it is for a man to die

Like a watch worn and weary sentinel.
To put his armor off and rest in heaven.

Ju the Roman period not only were
Big* hound* and sivr.-t hounds fully dif
ferentiated, but th.rc were also various
kinds of lapdogs and boa«edcgs, although
none quite like our modern breeds. Even
oe far back as about 3OIX; 11. C. Egpytiun
frescoes show not only greybvundiike
breeds, but one w ith drooping ears like a
hcund and a third which has been com
pared to the modern turnspit, while house
dogs and lapdogs can e in «oou afterward.
Whether any oi these are ’ :.e direct ances
tors oi modi rn breeds or v. aether all such
have been produced by subsequent cross
ing is a very dithcult question to answer,
more especially when v.e recollect that if
au ancient Egyptian artist had to draw
the portrait of a i ; u«k; n dog it w ould Im?
very doubtful whether it would be recog
nized by its master or nißrtess.
But the rec-cru of the antiquity of the
domesticated dugs does not men stop with
the earliest known f.cyptinn iLunutuents.
Not only were such breeds known in Eu
rope during the iron and bronze ages,
but also dur ng the antecedent neolithic or
polished stone j cried. Tit se have been de
scribed by Prufeseors Rutuiueyer and
Woldrich, and those-who arc acquainted
with the diilicuity cf distinguishing be
tween some of the living spicies by the
skulls alone will understand the laborious
nature of the task. Still these authorities
appear to have made out that the Swiss
neolithic dogfCanis paiustris) bad certain
cranial resemblances to both hounds and
spaniels, and thus indicate an advanced
type, which is considered to have been de
rived from neither waives nor jackals, but
from some species now extinct. Two oth
er breeds have also been iecognized from
the superficial deposits of the ccntirietit, '
and if, as Is very likely to be the case, any
br all of these races are the forerunners of ;
some of the modern breeds it wiil readily
be understood how complex is the origin
of the mixed group which we now cal!

We find a l aris seliolcr complaining of

struck him on the head with a stick, so

livres lor his release, while his enemy is
healed of his wounds and goes free.
That the pranks of students were not al
ways severely judged we may perhaps in
fer from the letter of a professor of law at
Orleans to a father at Besancon in which
it is said that, while no doubt the man’s
son G. was one of a crowd that had sung a
ribald song on an organ, the matter was
of no importance, as the young man’s
general record was good and he was mak
ing excellent progress in law. Naturally,
too, the examples of parental reproof have
something to say of the evils of the time,
particularly gambling and riotous living,
but in general the formularies reflect the
more virtuous side of student life, and for
a more adequate portrayal of its vice and
violence we must turn to the records of
courts, the Goliardic literature and the
vigorous denunciations of contemporary
preachers.—American Historical Review.

The Reasons|ol'lt
It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Pond*piano is held in such
high esteem. There is a good reason for it.
The New England Conservatory of Music
did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond
pianos ih preference to other makes.
There is a reason for it. It was not merely
good luck that led nearly two hundred of
the most prominent musical and educa
tional institutions in the country to se
lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result
of careful investigation and sound rea
son.
There are good sound reason why you
should decide upon au Ivors & Pond if
you are going to buy a piano. The reputa
tion of the makers for liberal and fair
dealing is your safeguard. The important
patented improvements found in no other
piano is another reason for deciding in
its favor. But it is the watchful and pains
taking care that follows every piano from
start to finish, and the conscientious and
intelligent attention given to even the
smallest details of construction that is the
reason why the Ivers & Pond Piano can
be depended upon to give the best results
and the best wear.

LITTLE TRAVEL ON FRIDAY.
“It’s a superstition that will never die
out.”
A railroad man did not have much to do
thL morning when he made this remark.
“People will not travel on Friday.
Might as well not run trains on that day.
People will lose business, break engage
ments and miss weddings and funerals
rather than travel on Friday. The result
is we passenger agents spend Friday wast
ing energy, and in poor fix for the rush
that always comes on Saturday.
“There are two reasons for the Saturday
rush. One is the Friday superstitition,
and the other is the desire of business men
bound on l«ng journeys to devote Sunday
to them. They leave here Saturday night,
spend Sunday on the road and get to New-
York Monday morning without losing any
time from business.
"That’s where business men are differ
ent from preachers. Very few preachers
will travel on Sunday. They will get up
at 1 o’clock Monday morning rather than
travel an hour on Sunday.
"There’s another peculiarity about the
passenger traffic, and that is the way the
: women business comes. Now yesterday,
I for instance. I had 50 women passengers,
| all young, all pretty and all well dressed.
■ Two days before I had about the same
I number, but not one was under 50. In
! both cases they were traveling independ
ently of each other. It’s just the way the
business runs.”
Household Gods.
The ancient Greeks believed that the
Penates were the gods who attended to the
welfare and prosperity of the family. They
were worshipped as household gods in ev
ery home. The household god of today is
Dr. King’s New Discovery. For consump
tion, coughs, colds and for all affections of
Throat, Chest and Lungs it is invaluable.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury and is guaranteed to cure, or money
returned. Nd household should be with
out this good angel. It is pleasant to take
and a safe and sure remedy for old and
young. Free trial bottles at H. J. Lamar
