Atkinson's Last Stand.
It is generally admitted by everyone
who was at all familiar with the recent
clerkship race that the United States sena
torship was as much involved as the clerk
ship. In other words, Governor Atkinson
made a last stand in an effort to demon
strate his strength by the election of
Frank Callaway. Os this there is no sort
of doubt, although the Atkinson forces, of
course, tried io deny it after the land
slide. i- ■
But the facts speak for themselves and
the results also apeak with equal force.
It was apparent to everyone from the
start that Governor Atkinson was merely
making a test of his strength by putting
up his man Callaway. In other words,
there was a great deal more involved in
that race than the election of a clerk. The
best political opinion agrees that Gover
nor Atkinson has his eye on Senator Ba
con's seat, and a great deal more than
the mere defeat of John Bolfeuillet was,
therefore, involved in the clerkship fight.
The Atkinson and anti-Atkinson forces
lined up accordingly, and the result shows
just bow much the Atkineon influence Is
worth —to the man against whom it is di
rected. It Is a significant fact that Calla
way's vote for clerk was the same as
Judge Spencer Atkinson’s vote for gover
nor—Just 26. And this is taken to repre
sent the exact Atkinson strength in Geor
gia.
'Boifeulllet’s election was not only a vic
tory of the most flattering sort for the
Bibb man, but it was a crushing blow to
the Atkinson contingent, who had muster
ed their forces from every section of Geor
gia. It is still the talk of the state, for
never was a forlorn hope more pens latently
and even arrogantly contended for than
was Callaway's clerkship candidacy—'the
ditch at which the Atkinson forces made
their last stand.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note that 'Hon. Fleming duißignon was in
Atlanta working for Bolfeuillet. Some say
he was onto Atkinson’s play for the sena
torship, and was determined to keep the
governor snowed under, and to heap it up
as high as possible by helping to give
Bolfeuillet an overwhelming majority.
Evidently, however, Senator Bacon did not
take the same view of the situation, for he
took no part whatever in the clerkship
race, nor were any of his friends present.
But had he been there he could not have
failed to see the connection between the
clerkship and the senatorship.
it Is said the women of New York are
for Roosevelt. This will be some consola
tion to him after the votes of the other
sex have been counted.
How They Size Up.
(Whatever may be one’s opinion as to
the probability of war between Great
Britain and France over the Fashoda
question, it is nevertheless interesting to
note Just how each of these great world’s
powers is equipped for such a struggle.
Since the victory of Nelson over French
and Spanish at Trafalgar England has been
clinching her hold on the title “Mystress
of the seas." 'At the beginning of the year
ehe had this immense force on the waters:
Thirty first-class, seven second-class,
twenty-one third-class battleships; four
teen coast iM'fense ships; nine armored
cruisers; sixteen first-class and sixty-four
of the second and third-class cruisers;
nineteen lookout ships; thirty-four torpedo
gunboats; 147 flrst-class, four second-class
and twenty third-class torpedo craft; a
total of 385 as her fighting strength.
France Is not so far behind in point of
navy as might have been expected. The
French have built ironclad vessels with
feverish haste, too. She has eighteen first
class, ten second-class and nine third
class battleships; sixteen coast defense
vhii*a; eleven first-class, fourteen second
class and two third-class cruisers; twelve
lookout ships; thirteen torpedo gunboats;
QIS first-class, seventy-eight second-class
and forty-five third-class torpedo craft, a
total of 347 with thirty-eight different
kinds of war vessels now in process of
construction.
Great Britain’s principal supremacy, aa
may be seen, is in the larger vessels.
On shore France has decidedly the ad
vantage. Militarism has dominated the
republic for many years. Every citizen
must have had more or less military ex
perience.
(Her peace strength is placed at 646,044,
The force* in Algeria and Tunis make the
footing 615.413. The number of men liable
to military service is as follows: Active
army and its rsesrves, 2,350,000; territorial
army, 900,000; territorial reserves, 1,100,-
000; a total of 4,350,000, of which 2,500,000
“would be available in the event of war.
The regular army of the United King
dom consists of 163.569 men. Besides
these, subject to call there are the reserve
auxiliary force, such as the militia, the
yeomanry, cavalry and the volunteer
corps, which, with the regulars and the
establishment in India, make a grand total
of 718,798, of which 665.344 were effective
ot last report.
,J rhlS . discrepancy ln nu “l>crs arises from
be militarism in France already referred
to, and would have to be made up in Eng
land by a recruiting of land forces to the
number required. The total population of

no reason why the city and state cannot

Blind Tigers In Bibb.
A prohibition communication published
today makes the plain, unvarnished state
ment that there are thirty-two “blind
tigers" in Bibb county. If thia fe true, it
la a serious reflection on the courts and
county officials. The prohibition is is are
bold In their chargee, and even go tso far
as to state the source of their information.
They say the Internal revenue books prove
the existence of thia number of “blind
tigers" in Bibb county.
Surely there ought to be away to put a
■top to this sort of thing. What are our
grand juries for? Is it impossible for
these bodies to ferret out these violations
of law? If so, what will be the Mate of
affairs if these blind tigers are increased
five or ten fold in number?
But let us look to the present and rem
edy the evil that is alleged to exist al
ready. Mho are the gentlemen who charge
that thirty-two "blind tigers” are doing
business In Bibb county? is it not their
duty as good citizens to tell all they know
about these violations of the law? The
next grand Jury meets within a few days;
why not ask these gentlemen to appear
before that body and make good their
charges. If, as they say, thirty-two
“blind tigers" exist in Bibb county, then
there should be thirty-two new recruits
for the Georgia penitentiary. By all means
let the next grand jury look into this mat
ter.

Trying to Shield Him.
And now eome newspapers are trying to
explain why Jake Beach resigned his posi
tion as prison commissioner just a few
hours before Governor Atkinson went out
of office. They evidently realized that
this last act of the Atkinson administra
tion has thoroughly disgusted the whole
state, and that it is necessary for the few
friends left to Governor Atkinson to say
something In his behalf.
But the explanation does not explain.
In the first place, it places Mr. Beach in
an absurd light to say that he resigned
because he could not have his way about
the selection of a penitentiary site. But
even If such an explanation could be ac
cepted, it would still not excuse the bad
taste displayed by Governor Atkinson in
filling the vacancy thus created, in view
of the fact that he, himself, was >to retire
from office within a few hours, while the
new prison commissioner would serve
through and beyond the incoming admin
istration.
No, had Governor Atkinson been more a
statesman and less a politician he would
have left the place for his successor to
fill. In fact, had he observed the ordi
nary rules of official courtesy, he would
have refused to act on such an important
matter on the eve of retiring from office.
We don’t believe there is another man in
Georgia that would have acted in such
bad itaste.
What is the use of trying to defend At
kinson in this master? He has deceived no
one. The whole thing was clearly under
stood th/ moment it was annouacsl And
It Is the unanimous verdict that Atkinson
'fixed it” order that ha mtgkt fix up
bls fences in Wiregrass Oevgu. It >e by
far the most disgraceful thing that has
occurred in Georgia since reconstruction
days, and it has called forth righteous in
dignation throughout the state.
Those who are talking about the issues
which Mr. W. J. Bryan represent* being
dead should read the following from the
Bufialo Times, showing with what enthu
siasm his name js greeted in the East.
The Times says: “When 'Mr. Stanchfu d
referred to ‘the hero from Nebraska, the
Hon. William Jennings Bryan,’ the audi
ence got right up out of the seats and
cheered with as much enthusiasm as
though it were a national campaign, and
Mr. Bryan present in person as the candi
date for president. It was a significant
manifestation of the hold Mr. Bryan and
the principles he represents have upon the
minds and convictions of the people. It
was a convincing denial of the statements
that be is forgotten by the people or that
they have lost interest in the principles
for which he stands.”
Same Jones is going to take a hand in
the Macon prohibition, election. Macon’s
'Diamond Jubilee will not be a circum
stance to the lively times there are in
store.—Augusta Chronicle.
We don’t believe that even Sam Jones
can add anything to the abuse that has
already been indulged in.
Manager Hertz, of Euclid Avenue Opera
house, Cleveland, Ohio, has stopped all
forms of advertising except in newspapers.
Since then every seat in the house has
been sold in advance. Chicago managers
are watching the outcome with a view of
following the precedent establsihed by
Hertz.
ELASTIC ENGLISH.
Haw the Meunlnß of Sqnie Common
Words Has Deen Changed.
Professor Whitney says there has been
less structural modification of the English
language in the second half of the nine
teenth century than in any other 50 rear
Ceriod of its existence. The vocabulary
as been enormously enriched, but the
skeleton of our speech has been only a lit
tle developed. It is with the vocabulary
that Brander Matthews deals in his essay.
He quotes Professor Lounsberry’s remark:
“The purest of speakers use every day
with perfect propriety words and forms
which, looked at from the point of view of
the past, are improper, if not scandalous."
This is a fitting preface to a discussion of
the changes in the vocabulary taking place
at the present time, some of which are
noted by Mr. Matthews in these words:
Once upon a time to “aggravate” meant
to increase an offense. Now it is often
, used as though it meant to irritate. For
merly “calculate, ” as in the sentence “It
was calculated to do harm,” Implied a de
liberate intention to injure. Now the idea
of intention has been eliminated, and the
sentence is held to be roughly equivalent
to “It is likely to do harm.” “Verbal”
Is slowly getting itself accepted as synony
mous with “oral,” in antithesis to “writ
ten.” “Lurid” is really “pale,” “wan,”
“ghastly,” but how often of late has it
been employed as though it signified red
or ruddy or bloody?
These words are specimens of the long
list which is used by the ignorant or un
thinking, incorrectly, but which careful
writers use according to their proper sig
nificance. The Tutor protests against the
carelessness which says “aggravate” for
“exasperate” or “irritate, ” for example,
and pleads against recognizing such inac
curacies of speech as legitimate changes
In the vocabulary.
Another word mentioned by Professor
Matthews is “unique.” Sayshe: “Unique
is getting to imply merely ‘excellent,’ or
perhaps only ‘unusual.’ Its exact etymo
logical value is departing forever. ” It is
true that we see in print such expressions
as “more unique” and “most unique,”
as if “unique” were an adjective capable
of being compared, but the tutor hopes
that the case is not as bad as Professor
Matthews represents it. “Unique” is a
word of too great value to permit it to lose
its strict significance. It comes from the
Latin “unions,” one, only, single, and it
means having no like or equal; unmatch
ed, sole, unequaled, single in its kind or
excellence. “ Every great man is a unique, ”
said Emerson.—Exchange.

You can’t keep a good thing down. News
of it travels fast. "When things are “the
best” they become the “best selling.”
Abraham Hare, a leading drugigst. of
Bellevue, 0., writes: “Electric Bitters are
the best selling bitters I have ever handled
in my 20 years experience.” You know
why? Most diseases begin in disorders of
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and
nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the stom
ach, regulates the liver, kidneys and
bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens the
nerves, hence cures multitudes of mala
dies. It builds up the entire system. Puts
new life and vigor into any weak, sickly
run-down man or woman. Only 50 cents.

BenKarn Acting Moliere.
A gwxl story comes from Paris about a
descent made by the police on a crowd of
vagabonds who had taken refuge in one of
the quarries connected with the works of
the new Alexander 111 Bridge over the
Seine. They came upon a curious sight.
By the light of two candles stuck into
empty bottles, which represented the foot
lights of a very roughly improvised stage,
the company of vagabonds were playing
the “Misanthrope” of Moliere to an ap
preciative audience of the usual type of
vagabonds to be found in such quarters.
The leader of the troupe had once been a
director of a theater in the provinces, but
he had become bankrupt and fallen so low
in the social scale that he had become a
vagabond himself. The dramatic instinct,
however, was so strong that he had form
ed a troupe among his companions. Ths
leading lady had once been a star in a
minor theater in Paris, and that was some
50 years ago. The part of the Ingenue
was taken by a young scoundrel who
flourishes under the name of the Turco.
The play was in full swing when the po
lice descended and swept off the major
portion of the company and audience to
the police station. The main regret of
the director seemed to be that he had not
been able to ring down the curtain on his
most effective scene.

The wealthiest living professional beg
gar, Simon Oppasich, was in 1893 sen
tenced to seven years’ hard labor for per
jury. He was born without feet or arms,
and his physical defects brought him ex
ceptional sympathy and cash. In 1880 at
the age of 47 he had saved $60,000, and in
1888 he had by speculation increased his
fortune to $125,000 in cash and some
$200,000 in Triest and Parenzo real
estate. Since then he has quadrupled his
wealth by trading on the bourse.—Paris

LRYSIPELAS
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Bs Shunned by
Their Feilow-Man.
BpßrsreFiKLD, Mo.
Gkmtlkmew : I commenced taking P.
F. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face w%s com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
■such debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
aares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

Eirysfpelas and Scrofula cured by P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, surely
and without fail.
SpRINGFIEf.D, Mo.
Gsntl.emrn' r Last June I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
{'our P. P. P. is the best I have ever
riod. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
P. P. P. cures all blood and skin dis
ease, both in men and women.
Rheumatism, which makes man’s life
a hell upon earth, can be relieved at
once by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem
edy. It makes a PERMANENT cure.
r. P. P. is the great and only remedy
for advanced cases of catarrh. Stop
page of the nostrils and difficulty in
breathing when lying down, P. P. P.
relieves at once.
P. P. P. cures blood poisoning in all
its various stages, old ulcers, sores and
leidney complaints.
