Some Excellent Verse Growing Out of the
Legislative Race.
Nearly all of th< Legislative candidate*
have bun mlng circular letters, as well
as penton.il a.pp« il* and other means, to
make votes, and not the leant active of the
num lx r Is Mr Roland Ellis, Bibb's bril
liant young attorney who is generally re
puted to J>o far in the lead jn this race.
Mr Kill has been condu ting a very
vigorous campaign and has niad< friends
almost every vhere. H< has secured nu
niirou promt rbut it was not until
yesterday th;.: any voter attempt!.l. along
with bls. promise, to immortalize him/hi
verse. This, a- might have been expected,
was left for his friend, Dr J. 8. Dare, to
do. Hr I tare, as everyone kn.no, Is a
w t iter of most < -xqulsih verse, and many
of his Pieces d»Ki rv- to rank as epics. The
following, for an impromptu eftoit, will
compare quite favorably with any*
IMAXIi ELLIS, Effij.
When rested on my porch yest’re’en
The postman handed me your note.
And ’twlxt the lines 'twa« dimly seen
You slyly hanker’d for my* vote.
I take ft kind to he renumber'd
By m<n in honor'd ranks.
And for the notice to rne tendered.
I give you, here, my thanks.
'Tis phasing to ourselves to run
The course we had intended.
But doubly so which, having done.
Another Is befriended.
Now to obey my behest
With yours shall tie pleasure
Bi can • with vou. I'll help myself
And get me double measure.
7n this I think I'm not alone,
hor no where can I find him
Who w;. not pushed to all he’d done
By selfishness behind him.
"To your own elf be Just and true”—
If this your practic'd maxim
Gt i at troops of friends will come to you.
If you or not go ax 'em.
And <o by* chance or worth, or both.
When sworn in with the Solons
Tin r. II not lie kept another's oath
More faithfully than Roland's.
While I, the truth may realize
And tin t you'll not forget it
That Id. . d.'f are they who rive
Than they who ask and get. It.

BANK LOANS
Method of Making Them Will be Changed if
Verdict Stands.
The result of the case of Dottenheim
against V-hworth. which was decided by
a Jury yesterday in the superior court is
causing no littie comment in commercial
and banking circles, and if the judgment
of the- jury hold- good it is destined to
mak< a very considerable difference in the
way in which bank loans arc made. Tho
suit was for a house and lot. Dottenheim
had mortgaged the property and the bank
in making the loan had added on the in
terest to the principal and the loan being
for five years had divided the total of tho
principal and interest into sixty monthly
nqjes bearing interest. Jn this way the
double interest would appear to have been
collected Mr. Dessau, who was acting as
pro hac judge, held in his charge that if
in tile opinion of the jury usury had been
charci d the sale of the property on a fore
closure of the mortgage was void. The
’jury bringing in a verdict for the -plaintiff
it was plainly their opinion that usury
had been charged. \s the banks all over |
the stale have probably immense amounts
of money out in this way the effect of the
veidi. r, if it stands, will be very wide

‘ A THIRD CALL
Os Volunteers is Said to be Contemplated by
the President.
Washington, June I.—The president is
expected to issue a third call for volun
teers. At first it was thought that 30,000
men could take Havana. >No>w 125,000 are
wanted for that work, 60,000 for the Phil
ippines and .30,000 for Porto Rico. The in
dications are that the full quota of regu
lars, 62.000, will not be enlisted. It is also
believed that about 20,000 should be em
barked for Santiago.
According to the .president’s plan, the
second muster of volunteers will be used
to fill the regiment under tho first call,
and tho 25,000 men not needed for this pur
pose will be organized into regiments.
FEATHER-WEIGHT MOSQUITOS.
Florida Insect So Hungry That He Retains
His Thinness After a Nights Feast.
Tampa, Fla., June I.—The soldier in
camp in or about these parts has a persist-
■ ent and annoying enemy that all the pow-
■er of Europe and the United States can
; not destroy.
Th.- enemy I refer to is the Florida mos
quito. which ranges in size from that of
I a fly to that of a sparrow, and is as busy
I as- a bee after the shades of night have
stolen over a camp. He is a persistent
: fellow, with a long thirst and a heavy ap
, petite, and the well-fed servant, of Uncle
| Sam is just his size.
The Tampa mosquito does not. as a rule.
! carry a brass hand accompaniment when
i he gets ready to begin opperations. as does
bis northern brother. He touches the sol
dier on the quiet and swoops upon him
with ceremony.
The little fellow can find a sleeping sol
dier in the dark as easily as a well trained
nose could locate a barrel of asafoetida in
an empty cellar.
Before he gets ready for a night’s -busi-
I ncss he unsheaths a well-sharpened auger,
. and as soon as he has located a c ost place,
I generally about the nibs, he begins tn boro.
The borer is at work but a moment when
I it is felt. It feels Uke a needle pressed in
the fßsh. and in a moment a well built fist
flies ribward.
It is at this stage that mosquito turns
loose his brass band. He either sees or
I feels the fist coming, and he dodges. He
Is the artful dodger of thus country.
The fist lights and nearly caves in a rib
but the mosquito’s flight was just in time.
As he goes ho breaks loose with a buzzy
accompaniment that sounds like the old
ballad, “I’ll return to thee.”
The mosquito is not boastful, nor is he
sarcastic. He moans just what he buzzes,
and as soon as the soldier gets settled he
.is back again.
Again he is driven away and again he
returns until the mosquito has filled up or
the soldier covers himself with a bar.
One disgusted soldier, after a night of
mosquito fighting, said, when questioned
as to how ho slept, "Oh, I slept all night.
I only fed a regiment of those bugs called
mosquitoes. T lost a dozen pints of blood
and the blooming things are still In tho
I featherweight class. Why they looked
starved to death this morning.

THE BOARD OF STRATEGY.
Dramatis Personae: Several Nice Gentlemen.
Place: Washington. Time: Any Old Time.
Chirman: “Gentlemen, we should follow*
the principle laid down in the unabridged
edition of my works, Volume IX, Page
First Member: “Pardon me, but Samp
eon asks merely where the Spanish fleet
is. He says the last batch of newspaper
clippings we sent him were very contra
dictory. The article you marked about
the fleet being at Sierra iMalstra, he says,
is unlikely because that Is a mountain
range.”
Chairman: “Os course, it’s a mountain
range. I wished to indicate how mislead
ing our information was. This brings us
'back to the principle I wished to bring out,
that pure inductive reasoning should be
applied. Now Cervera wants coal. He
will seek a harbor.”
Second Member: “ißut we sent the fleet
to San Juan on that theory, and nothing
came of It.”
First Member: “The admiral asks for
permission to sail. He thinks he can' find
the Spanish ships by looking for them.”
Chairman (indignantly): “Looking for
them! Is that strategy? Does he* take us
for children? Intellect, not a spyglass,
should guide naval maneuvers.”
Second Member: ‘But what shall we tell
‘him to do? Secretary Long has seen the
reports, and they say they have heard
nothing. Advices from Madrid are very
meagre.”
Chairman: “Any more cables cut?”
Second Member: “No.”
Chairman: “Forbid it. Else we should
never learn what the Spaniards are doing.
As soon as we hear something from them
we may act. The ’best strategical problem
must be based on something. We must
wait.”
First Member: “And Sampsbn’s orders.”
Chairman: “Order him to wait orders.”

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE i 1898
UNSTABLE QUICKSANDS.
Explanation of One of Nature's Most Curi
ous Phenomena.
Very little is known hy the general pub
lic about quicksand, and that little is
usually obtained from novels. Such In
formation is usually wrong, being oom
posod of a pinch of truth and a handful of
fiction. The sensational novel goes even
so far as to give to quicksand some attri
butes that belong only to living creatures.
No ordinary observer could distinguish
quicksand from any other If it were dried,
am! if he wished to restore its fatal prop
erty artificially he would in all probability
fail. Suppose he fills a bucket with wa
ter. It does not in consequence become
mobile. If he drains the off from
the bottom, the sand will be fc.Ttnd wedged
firmly in place, and if the water be meas
ured it will be found to equal 30 per cent
of the bulk of the sand, or about 20 per
cent of its weight. From this we may in
fer that, a cubic foot of dry sand weighs
nearly 94 pounds.
This for sand is a very light weight, for
there an other qualities of sand which
weigh a< much as 171 pounds. Quicksand
when examined under a microscope will
be seen to have rounded corners like river
sand, as distinguished from angular or
■‘sharp’’sand, which will pack more solid
ly than the other. It is a quicksand that
is used in tho hourglass and in the small
er egg boiler, partly because of its fineness
and partly because it does not obscure the
inner surface of the glass by scratching.
The lightness of quicksand is the quality
which will lead us most surely to the cause
of its reputation, and to illustrate this the
bucketful of sand must be loaded with
water from below and made to overflow
very slowly. The upward current will be
found to loosen the sand and to raise the
surface very slightly, separating and lubri
cating tho particles so that they are easily
displaced.
The bucket now contains quicksand,
and this sand from the support, it receives
from tho water has its weight or support
ing power reduced. In the dry state it
weighed nearly 94 pounds, but if weighed
in the water it is reduced to pounds,
and its mobility prevents any animal from
walking on it. The mixture of sand and
water weighs quite 112 pounds per cubic
foot, or nearly twice the weight of a man,
but it is toothick to swim in, and the per
son engulfed would soon lie too exhausted
to escape. He would probably die of suf
focation 11 not drowned by an advance
tide, for quicksands are found mostly
within the influences of tides. He would
not be swallowed by the quicksand be
cause it is so much heavier than his body.
Quicksands require in all cases an up
ward current which is not quick enough
to form what is called a spring or foun
tain. It may be formed in two ways. In
tidal rivers and'on the shores of tidal seas
tho rising tide may saturate a porous
stratum of ground below high water mark,
and when the tide falls the return current
is established through the same porous
(sandy) ground with sufficient velocity to
loosen the sand as above described. This
sand as soon as tho rising tide reverses the
current ceases to be “quick.” The other
case is that when a slow current of fresh
water finds an exit through a surface of
sand above or below water. This is a per
manent quicksand. Any sand and almost
any material might have the quality of
quicksand imparted to it by means of a
suitable current.
Coal is separated from shale in an up
current of water so regulated that the
coal is made to float while the shale falls
to the bottom, and heavy iron tools have
been carried to the surface by the sudden
discharge of artesian wells. Quicksands
that are encountered during the sinking
of wells and foundations are all due to the
influx of water, when the work gets be
low “spring level,” or the level of water
in tho ground. The sand, being deprived
of the support of the excavated part, is
pushed from behind by the water current
flowing in from all sides.—lnvention.

ETHICS OF CLOTHES.
Class Distinctions Ed'accd, Yet the Dress
Still Proclaims the Man.
In those days when to speak of a man as
a gentle,man was to say tliat lie was for
tunately distinguished by his birth as be
ing above and, as it were, of a race apart
from the masses of the population, a gen
tleman was outwardly distinguished by
his clothes, which differed in many ways
besides their splendor from those affected
by ‘lm canaille. At that period the occu
pation peculiar to geiitlemen was tho con
.lui-t. <ff the government, but now when
gentlemen are fotiud in every walk of life
ami the word implies simply t)<e posses
sion of estimable inward qualities we all
dress pretty much alike. V.’hcn the sword
indicate;! the man's rank, he might choose
his colors ami the fashion of his clothes to
suit hirn.-vif, but.it pri sent, when the dress:
of a man conveys nothing of his station
in Hie beyond tne iiidiemions of material
prosperity, uniformity and the. avoidance
of display are songiif.
Apart from the < ullcomont of class dis
tinctions in dress, which it. took centuries
to comjHiss, no greater change has come
over this matter of cloches than one which
has been aceomplisiied within the memory
of man. We may reprove the tendency of
our men of leisure to copy rather than
emulate our English brethren in dress and
deportment, but it is Undoubtedly to them
we owe our love for outdoor sports, and it
is this, spreading marvelously even within
the past few years, which has improved
the breed of men and changed the character
of their clothes. The dandy no longer
trips in dainty shoes and shuns exertion,
but is proud of his square shoulders and
deep cliest. and his dress is distinguished
not more by its neatness and accuracy of
detail than by its simplicity, comfort and
ser\ iceability.
The manliness which is the keynote of
this change finds no greater expression
than in the avoidance of all pretense, sham
and vain show and in the perfect fitness of
the clothes of a gentleman of taste. In
spite of the abandonment of arbitrary class
distinction in apparel, it is by no means
difficult to recognize a gentleman as such
by his clothes. Quite apart from the neat
ness and avoidance of any conspicuous
ness, which it should be unnecessary to
mention, is the absolute simplicity and
reality of everything he has on and its fit
ness for the occupation in hand. This fit
ness is the essence of good form in clothes,
and as it has its seat in the most rigid
common sense it is singular that it is in
this that gaucheries should most frequent
ly occur.—American Wool and Cotton Re-,
porter.
A Loaded Dog.
That Ohio dog who swallowed five sticks
of dynamite and was immediately after
ward given the freedom of the town is still
lording it over his native heath, so to
speak. That he is a happy dog there can
be no doubt. It isn't given to the canine
mind to distinguish between high and low
explosives, and a dog who is loaded to the
brim with the most deadly combustibles
may still be recklessly happy. Certainly
this dog had no notion of crossing the Styx.
Any dog should be happy who can freely
walk into the finest dining room in town
and find the family rapidly though re
spectfully withdrawing before him, leav
ing him to enjoy the good things of the
table.
Os course the denouement of the-dog
tragedy is anxiously awaited by the nerv
ous townspeople. Perjiaps they are in
hopes that some wandering tramp will
kick the dog in fatal ignorance of the fact
that he is loaded. In the meantime, while
they are breathlessly waiting for the cli
max, they want it generally understood
that they have a dog on hand that they
would be glad to giveaway to some person
who will treat him kindly. He is a nice
dog, and there is a good deal more in him
than many people vvuuld imagine. He is
a dog that can’t help but rise in the world.
He is a dog from whom at any time you
may expect to hear a good report I—Cleve

Spring is Here
And with it comes the thoughts of cool
refreshing Beer. It is the only thing to drink in the
spring, and, in fact, any time of the year. Good Beer, such
as we make, puts life and strength into this bofy. Our
Beer is more than good; it is the best made, because it is
made of the best hops and malt that can be bought. Better
send us your order.
