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 L pon the walls of Zion to be called Like a watch worn and weary sentinel. To put his armor off and rest in heaven. CASTOniA.. fM- «lgw.ur» e*«” * ™jp». Doga and Bounds. 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! Can is familiuris —Knox ledge. Me<iia?vai htuiients. We find a l aris seliolcr complaining of thodiserders ct the tcLi ois iii.u expressing fear of j ersotml violence, and a btuder.t at 1 Toulouse writes that ;• eel tain I’., against : whom he had Lecn warned before leaving his home in Narbcnnc, hud taken forcible ! possession of bis room and so dlstm Led j him in bis work that he w ould like per- ' mission to go home at Easter. At Orleans a young man pleads for help from his fa ther because, having quarreled with a cer tain youth, as the devil would bare it, he struck him on the head with a stick, so that he is now in prison and must pay 50. 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.

I n ißfcj: - ifc ■ g Ssii&sßs 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.

C, 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.
