the sergeant at the desk. !

< < Let me see ?. Yes, here is the
name of James Cudbar. His age
is given at 21. » >
“That’s the critter. What was

< ( Drunkenness. He was brought
in here as limp as a rag.”
i i He was, eh ! And what
was
clone with him ? t j
t ( He was taken into court next
morning, and as it was his first of¬
fense, and as he seemed truly pen¬
itent, the judge let him go on sus¬
pended sentence. Do you know
the young man?”
< i I guess I do. He’s my son Jiin!”
* ‘Oh ! Then you had heard about
it? ' '
11 No, sir, not a word, but 1 kin

Jim's birthday’ the other day. He
cum to town with $20 in his pock¬
et to buy a suit of clothes. When
he showed up the next day, he
was stepin’ high and tvearin’ his
hat on his ear. I wanted to know
what had happened, and he sez to
me, sez he: ‘Father, seven of
them policemen pitched into me at
once, and I licked the hull crowd.
It cost me a fine of $20, but you
kin be proud of your fightin' son.’
Them was his words, sir, but it

I were you I wouldn't”—
“That’s all,” interrupted the
oldman. “Jim is of age, but
when a son of mine eutns home
with his hat on his ear and talks
about lickin’ seven men and in
dooces me to pat him on the back
and be proud of him, I want ter see
him out in the barn fur about ten

Crisp’s Party Loyalty
Oglethorpe Echo.
Strange as it really is there are
some who are hesitating. about
giving Mr. Crisp their support for
senator because he declined theap
pointment to that office to fill the
unexpired term ofSenator Colquitt
To us it seems that his course in
that matter should be his strongest
claim for support by the democrat¬
ic party of Georgia and the encour¬
agement to the party nationally.
At the time the appointment was
tendered him he was speaker of
the lower house of congress, a po¬
sition in which, with some peeu
liar circumstances surrounding
him, he could render the party ser
vice tv hich perhaps could not
hate been rendered by any body
else. He recognized this and while
he openly admitted his ambition to
fill a seat in the higher house, he
sacrificed his ambition and refused
the office when tendered him inor
der that he might render the ser¬
vice to his party and constituency.
In so doing he rejected a certain
realization of his ambition without
the worry, work and expense of a
campaign, and remained at the post
where he knew duty called him
until duty was iully performed.
Now he comes before the people
reiterating his ambition and asking
that he be placed by the people in
the seat to which he aspires, and
which he has once refused to ac¬
cept because he could serve them
better elsewhere at the time.
In this day and time it is quite
seldom indeed that our public men
make such sacrifices as was his re
fusal of the appointment for the
good of his party and constituency,
It shows the statesman that he is,
and should beget a confidence in
the man that not all ot our public
enjoy.
he Echo said _ the tittle Mr.
i at
j Crisp refused the appointment that
it should insure his election to the
senate in due time. We still hold
to that opinion, and will unhesitat
ingly give our support to one who
has proven himself so loyal to par
ty and the people he represents,
and whom we believe to be such a
safe custodian of the people’s in¬
terests wherever he is placed.
BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Mr. James L. Strother when a
boy went to school with Mr. Clif
ford Maddux, who on account of
his stout figure was called Skinny.
They have not met since. Some
days ago Mr. Strother entered the
cars at Markham and looking at a
very large man asked if he was
Skinney Maddux, Mr. Strother
was told yes, and went up and
said “How are you Skinney? »y to
which the person addressed res¬
ponded politely, and they went on
talking about old times until the
stranger got off at Marshall, when
Mr. Strother learned he had been
talking all the time to Judge Sam¬
uel B. Witt, of Richmond, and had
been making fun of his enormous
size by calling him Skinny. Mr.
Strother is in a state of nervous
prostration. He fears the judge
will have him up for contempt, and
if he apologizes there is danger of
exciting the fiery blood of the
Madduxes.—Warrenton Virgin

ABM 1 UTEEV PURE
An Immoral Standard.
Confession and conclusion of a
convict to free silver.
From a speech by Evelyn Hub¬
bard of the batik of England.
“Mr. Chairman, My Lord Duke,
Ladies and Gentlemen—I imagine
j that j have been asked to second
this report chiefly because the Bi
nietalie League count me, if not as
a professed convert at any rate as a
catechumen, and, in accordance
w jp a an cient custom, I am called
on to testify to my sincerity by
some public confession of faith. I
started heavily weighted with the
conviction that legislation could
never possibly fix the relative price
of two commodities which vary in
supply'. I have become atvare that
bimetallism involves the regula¬
; tion, of the price, but of ratio, and
that tvhat was possible to the Lat¬
in union cannot be impossible to
Europe and the Untied State. I
imagined that even were a ratio
fixed by latv between gold and sil¬
ver, the market price must inevi¬
tably vary from the legal ratio in
accordance with the increase or de¬
crease in the production of either
metal. I discovered that this is
not a matter of argument, but of
j j history ; that the record of-the the
years 1849-50 has furnished
j most conclusive demonstration of
j the pow’er of the ratio to keep the
price ste ady, even in the face of
the most violent fluctuation in sup j
ply. I enter'ained a vague pet^fi '
firm impression ^y that the ep^"iner
da i SU p rema( of England • was
1 largely attributable to her gold
stan d ar d. I find that England was
both nominally and practically bi
meta Hic up to the end of the last
century ; that she enjoyed all the
advantages of bimetallism U P
to 1873, and that it is only during
the last twenty 3 ears of falling
prices and depressed trade that she
has been strictly monometallic.
f l I was haunted by the vision of
my debts being pressed on my ac
eeptance at inconvenient moments
in the form of cumbrous barrow
fills of silver. I have become
aware that under bimetallism debts
will be paid as they are now, by
checks or bills of exchange, and
that under no circumstances are we
likely to receive payments before
they are due. Again, the
argument was not without weight.
England, it was urged is a great
creditor country ; all the world is
indebted to her in sterling. If
gold is appreciating, so much the
better for us. Why should we not
let well enough alone ? This par
tieular millstone, however, fell
from my neck the first. It re¬
quires little eonside.ation to see
that it is not only essentially im¬
moral, but also self-destructive.
If gold appreciates your gold
standard stands condemned by
failure in the most essential attrib
ute—that of stability—while you
are convicted ot mulcting your
debtor, not only of the interest
whir-ti \\ men be tie agreed op reed to 10 nav pax , but UUI also aisu

The Secret of Success.
Choose thou, 0 I 1 ! youth, thy profession in
life ;
Why delay, now’s the happiest and best
time, *
While the beautiful morn is bright without
strife.
Then let thy young days in truth ever shine.
Decide just what thy'aimjshall he,
Tomorrow do not so long delay,
For wasted hours will not return to thee,
And swiftly the years will pass away.
Remember the wealth thou canst obtain,
liy asking help from the Giver above,
And help thy heart from being vain,
And as thyself thv neighbors love.
I.et not envy in thy heart find way,
In thy life no part in every play ;
Success and genius will never trom thee
part,
If this malevolent affection does not enter
thy heart.
And knowledge thou can with joy win,
If thou will triumph over thy coming fears ;
Then happiness will thrill thy heart within,
How can an obstacle in thy way appear.
All thy footsteps through life guide,
Love thy Maker with true change'ess love ;
No blessings from heaven will be denied,
And at last thou’ll reach 11 is throne above.
