A Growing Evil.
Cuthbort Enterprise.
One of tho most prevalent evils of
the day, and one which cannot be
too strongly condemned, i.s the ten
dency to take into the family circle
strangers whom circumstanced may
have sent this way. Kecentiy tho
Americas jail contained two men
who had won the affect ions of girls
and married them, too, while they
had wives and families in other sec
tions demanding their time and as
sistance.
This state of‘things can be traced
in many cases to the indifferences of
parents in choosing associates for
their children. For this neglect,
many times, girls of a romantic turn
meet and are attracted by the tas'-i
--nating wavs of somc-scmindrcl, who.
familiar with the world, knows the
chicanery necessary to secure the
adoration of the unsophisticated girl.
She dreams of him as some prince to
bring her countless fortune, and
pictures a life of ease never before
thought of. He, of course, encour
ages this line of thought until, in an
evil moment, she is induced to run
away from home to marry the veriest
sort of rascal. The pangs of regret
and sorrow, when she comes to real
ize that a life has been ruined, can
never be known to the"outside world.
It is too late then for the parent, to
correct his mistake. He realizes
h s helplessness to minister to the
grief of tiis child, and can only apply
to the law for redress of a wrong too
great for any penalty commensurate
except death. He who allows a
stranger whose past life arid conduct
is unknown to pay attentions to his
family can expect nothing hut shame
and mortification to be the outgrowth.
A Wi’y Debtor.
We wore told last week of a
lit tie episode that took place in Fay
ette county about two years ago,
but even now it will not be amiss to
repeat it.
A merchant in this town held a
mortgage against a mule belonging
to a Fayette farmer, ami the farmer,
to evade the seizure of the mule,
built him a stable with a partition,
and as his premises were on the
county line, he had a stable in both
Clayton and Fayette. So, when the
paper was turned over to a bailiff
from Fayette for execution, be would
drive the mule over in Clayton, and
vice versa. This baffled the mer
chant for a while, is the mule could
lie transferred easier than he could
shift bailiffs ; but after n few weeks
fruitless attempts to reach the mur,
the merchant secured the services oj
a bailiff from each county at the
same time and attached the mule.
So tho mule was about to be brought
to Jonesboro, but the defendant
paid the mortgage and retained the
mule.—Jonesboro News.
Under the canons of the Episco
pal church, tho bishop is allowed
thirty days in which to pronounce
sentence under the verdict of the
court, and Bishop Beckwith allowed
Dr. Armstrong half of his time, or
fifteen days to make a plea for anew
trial or to petition for a light sen
tence. The fifteen days.having ex
pired last Friday, Hon. John S. Da
vidson and Mr. Hoke Smith, counsel
tor Dr. Armstrong, called on Bishop
Beckwith, at his residence, and turn
ed over to the reverend gentleman
what is supposed to be an appeal for
anew trial, reciting the discovery
of new and important evidence, etc.
Accompanying this plea is a com
munication from friends and admi
rers of Dr. Armstrong praying mercy
at the hands of the bishop. The
bishop will now have fifteen days in
which to pronounce sentence.

THE ENCAMPMENT.
GRIAT PREPARATIONS EY THE
MILITARY OF SAVANNAH.
An Extract from the Official Bulletin
of the Encampment—Something
Abcut the Arrangements Being
Made—The Outlook for a
Great Event.
Tlie official bulletin of the grand
encampment drill and tournament
to occur in Savannah during the
first week in May uext has the fol
lowing in reference to the event f
“The early history of the Chat
ham Artillery has presented to the
corps no more hallowed association
! than the personal friendship and
encouragement it received from
Washington ; and for this reason the
camp, by common consent, shall
commemorate his name. After a
hundred years, we resurrect his
name and apply : t to a scene of life
and of military life, bustle and gay
ety. The flower of the southern and
northern troops as they stand on
this very spot where Washington
walked in his tour of examination
of the earthworks thrown up by
the defenders and the besiegers of
Savannah, shall remember, with
pride, the first commander in chief
of the anm T and navy of the United
States, and the first who gave to its
troops a place in history and fame
among the armies ot tho World.
CAMI WASHINGTON
tvill be pitched in the southern por
tion ot the city, to the south of An
derson street and to the right of
where the beautiful Vernon shell
road begins, and at, or about the
spot where the present baseball park
stands, the use of which, by the
courtesy of Colonel J. H. Estill, pro
prietor of the Savannah Morning
News, has been tendered to the
committee. On its right runs the
Charleston and Savannah railway
with its steam railway and its street
car linos, and below its southern
edge tlie Savannah, Florida and
Western railway takes its air-line
into the city. A better site could
not have been selected. Level and
green like a lawn, with an abun
dance of pure water for drinking
and for bathing purposes; not two
hundred yards from the cooling
shades of Concordia park ; conve
nient of access, with street car and
railway,lines to the gates, four hun
dred feet from the drill ground,
‘not six minutes walk from the heffrt'
of the city, and convenient to aii
the fun that will be going on, it
would be difficult to find a better or
more desirable place.
A restaurant inside the encamp
ment will furnish a good supply of
wholesome food at not more than
fifty cents a meal, and as it will ca
ter to military alone, every effort
will be made to have it satisfactory.
There will be no oeeassion for any
one to bring his knapsack full of
bard tack.
onf: thing more.
The management of this drill and
encampment desire nothingso mujff
as the fullest enjoyment of the
troops that are coming. The drill
itself, and the months of previous
preparations are severe enough
without adding unnecessarily to the
hardships of the volunteer soldier
in this glad time of peace and re
joicing. .Nothing adds more to this
severity than the doing of full guard
duty, necessary indeed, in time of
war for the protection and discip
line of the army and not improper
in time of peace where the duties ot
camp life and the education of the
soldier are the chief objects of the
encampment. But for this occasion,
the quantum of guard duty actually :
necessary to protect Camp Wash
ington will be reduced to a minimum
having tlie camp enclosed by a
fence twelve feet high—and what
that minumum should be, is left an
easy problem for the authority do
signaled to command the encanvp
iiu nt.
THE PRILL GROUND
is four hundred feet nearer the
heart of the forest city than the en
campment. It is a misnomer to
call Savannah a forest city at this
point, tor the place is almost entirely
devoid of trees, but smooth and level
and covered with a rich carpeting
of grass. On this peautiful plain,
high and dry. the drill ground lias
been placed, well enclosed and
flanked by grand stands, hippo
drome seats, restaurants and booths.
In the open areas ot this reetangu
; lar place cleared, leveled and rolled,
encompassed by a great cloud of
i witnesses, the representative troops
I of a score or more sovereign states
will struggle for the mastery, in a
; contest which, for its brilliance of
| show and tor the intense interest
! and excitement it kindles, both in
the actors and spectators, has no
equal in the institutions of the day.
Here the infantry will wheel and
charge upon his imaginary foes with
faultless precision and movement,
here the red-legged, red-capped
zouaves will skip with lightning
like manual and evolution, here the
stalwart cannoneer will work his
gun through all the phases of battle
i and extermination, and here the
; gallant hussar will east a glance on
j the grand stand as he goes by in the
; maddening charge, as all eyes follow
him and all hearts stand still until
he clears the iast flag.
The preparation ofithis ground for
the drill and tournament, to give it
tlie exact conditions of firmness and
level necessary, will engage the host
attentions of the committee. Surgeon
Lincoln, ot the Chathams, will be on
hand with a full corps of assistants
to render speedy assistance to all
who fall beneath the Iheat and ex
citement of the contest.
THE COMPANIES jBNTTItUD.
The first of February, 1886, finds
the committee in charge in a posi
tion to announce the assured success
of tho drill and tournament. We
believe, as we stated in answer to
n aoy letters of inquiry, that in May.
Savannah will witness one of the
most brilliant military gatherings
ever assembled in the south. On
every side we receive only words ot
encouragement. All ‘Savannah is
enthused with tho expectation over
the coining event.
THE TOURNAMENT.
The cavalry tournament will be a
novel and attractive feature in con
nection with an infer-siate drill.
There are thirty-two cavalry com
panies in South Carolina, ten in
Georgia, and seven in Florida. The
interstate tournament-given by the
Georgia Hussars, at Savannah, in
April ot last year, was a brilliant
success in every way, and the horse
manship displayed waa. pronounced
to bo exceliont. 1 n ac®rdance with
the wishes of all who saw that tilt,
one day ot the centennial week will
be devoted to tlie cavalry There
is no country in the world that fur
nishes more beautiful rulers than the
South Atlantic states, and the tour
nament will be revelation to those
who have never witnessed such an
, j qsgr
event.

Now, east up the aero,tint and see
what the chances are for the democ
hicy controlling the senate. In
speaking of this stale of affairs the
Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Capitol says: “In the elec
tions held so far the democrats have
gained a man, Daniel, of Virginia,
who will succeed Mahone. Gorman
and George have been re-elected,
and so lias Sherman, and it i.s ad
mitted that Fair, who has a pile of
hard cash, can come ba -k from tho
eayote district of Nevada. The sen
ate stands to-day forty-two republi
cans to thirty-tour democrats. So
the latter have only to gain four
seats to have a tie and five seats to
have a clear working majority.
They have one of these. Where are
the other four to come from? They
must be from the doubtful states,
like California, Connecticut, Michi
gan, New York, New Jersey and
Wisconsin. Can they be had? A
Michigan member says that Conger
will go out in his state if the presi
dent wiil tote fair with the Michigan
democrats, which, it is claimed, he
has not been doing. It may be that
he will tote fair with all democrats
now that the republican senate is
showing symptoms of tight. Very
much may depend upon his actions
tor the next hundred days. We
shall see what we shall see.”

PIERCE OR WEAVER.
THli MISSING MAN IN THE AT
LANTA CASE HEARD FROM
The Attorney XVho Conducted the Case
in Fort Worth Believes that the At
lanta Corpse is Not Weaver—
When Weaver Was Last
Heard From Etc.
Fort Worth, Tex., February 24.
—Tomorrow’s Gazette will publish
an interview with Robert McCarty
and City Attorney Capps, who rep
resented tlie plaintiff and the defen
dant in the suit for adultery of Mrs.
Weaver, ot Indianapolis, Indiana,
against Tierce Weaver, or J. W.
Pierce, as he was known here. Mc-
Carty says that from his knowledge
of the financial condition of Weaver,
he is satisfied that the man at Atlan
ta is not him and he says Weaver was
very angry at his wife, on account
of her prosecution of him for adul
tery, and thinks that ! e does not re
veal himself for two reasons, at first,
because lie is willing she shall wa*te
her money in tlie present suit at At
lanta, and second, because lie is still
living in adultery with Mrs. Eden,
an and tears another prosecution. Capps
says that Weaver had only fitly dol
lars when he left here in the fall of
1884, and that he went to Indian
terrilorry to join Mrs. Eden, the wo
man with whom he lived in adultery
here. He says Weaver was greatly
infatuated with Mrs. Eden, and that
they carried on a correspondence
until he was lodged in jail here, and
after she had jumped the town to
escape arrest. Capps received let
ters from Weaver about eight months
ago dated Chattanooga, Tenn., stat
ing that he was closely pressed fi
nancially, and urged the collection
of the claims in the attorney’s hands.
CHOOSE WISELY.
We clip the following from the
i Marietta Journal because itistimffiy
and to the point:
This is (die year when most of the
public officers of Georgia—members
ot the legislature, state house officers,
governor and congressmen—are to
be elected. It behooves our people
to be alert and scrutinize tlie candi
dates for the-various public positions
with an impartiality of judgment
and a decision of choice, that will
reflect credit upon thorn. Inferior
men, with more brass than brains,
with more conceit than conscience,
often press forward and by flattery,
trick or trade, foist themselves upon
the people, who otherwise wound re
pudiate them it their lack of true
worth, manhood and merit had been
known at the time. Therefore, a
crucial tost, of the claims of candi
| dates should be made and the dross
I discarded. “All is not gold that
| glitters,” and glittering generalities,
| though seemingly plausible, are not
always the sure test of ability or the
infallible index of character. As in
war or love, “none but the brave de
serve the tail*,” so in politics, none
but the courageous of conviction,
brave hearted, competent, capable
and honest, deserve public office.
There i.s plenty of good materia! in
Georgia to till all the offices in the
gift of the people. Men who will
not lie ; men who will not steal; men
who will not accept bribes; men
who will defend the rig’ht ot the peo
ple against corrupt pilferers; men
who are in sympathy with tlie best
instincts of humanity; men who will
shun the blandishments of the detn
[ agogue and the deceptions or' the
I lobbyist. Men of mind; irten ot
; principle; true as steel to the right
| and an uncompromising foe to tlie
! wrong. Let ns choose wisely and
! elect men to rule Georgia, her mtel-
I ligence and wealth. Georgia is the
! brightest star in the constellation ot
j states, and she deserves the best
i minds, the purest characters and the
: most consistent loyalty at the helm,
j in the various ramifications of state
! and national government. Thepeo
; pie can have such men if they will.
All they have to do is to assert the
dignity of their strength and the
sovereignty of their right to rule
and choose. “Public office is a pub
lic trust,” is an utterance of Presi
dent Cleveland, and should be em
phasized.

The Two Sams.
In his Monday's sermon in Chica
go Sam Small said:
“Neither Sam Jones nor I can
convert any one here. We don’t go
; around con verting people at so much
i a head. We don't want any half
way conversions. If we should
preach here ten nights, ten weeks,
ten months, or ten years, and not a
soul should be converted, it would
: not weaken our faith. It would only
convince us that your hearts were
kept stubbornly closed against tlie
Holy Spirit. We come here without
any terms.
“Have we made any, Brother
Goss ? ’
“Only gospel terms,” replied the
| pastor of the church.
“We have said 'nothing about
terms,” continued Mr. Small. “I
have got enough money to pay my
hotel bill, and when that’s gone I
can leave town, for I have a free
pass. We shall work with you,
t nevertneiess, and may God biess the
! words we utter, that they may in
duce some to open their hearts to
, the Holy Gho.it.”
EIGHT DAYS IN A COFFIN.
An Extraordinary Case ot Resuscitation
from the Grave.
Louis vil 1 e Commereial.
But a few people in Louisville
know William Hancock, who has
been living on Market, between Clay
and Shelby streets, for the past fif
teen years. A reporter yesterday
caught a glimpse ot Hancock, who
has had a remarkable experience,
and bears a mysterious record in the
neighborhood in which he lives. A
neighbor who professes to know
Hancock’s history, yesterday told
the reporter the following:
“Sixteen years ago Wm. Hancock
was a man of some means, living
then in Kansas City. He was taken
ill, and day by day grew rapidly
w>rse. His ailment puzzled his
physicians and finally his life was
despaired of, and a few days after
wards he was pronounced dead. An
undertaker was notified, and lie pre
pared tlie body for burial. The fu
neral took place, and the body was
laid in tlie receiving vault, prepara
tory to being placed in the ground.
Eight days afterward the undertaker
and his assistants went to the ceme
tery, and while in the act of moving
the coffin to tlie fresh dug grave,
were startled by hearing a noise in
side the coffin. The lid was forced
off, and the men wore much mysti
fied on beholding the blue color of
the supposed corpse. A physician
was summoned and an electric bat
tery was put to the corpse. In a
few minutes William Hancock was
on his feet again, after having been
supposed to be dead for eight days.”
A remarkable particular of the
resuscitation was that Hancock al
ways preserved the blue color of his
skin. He was a tall, thin man, with
small whiskers, and so blue was the
skin all over his body that it pre
sented a peculiar and astonishing
appearance. He never stirred away
from home except to visit a game at
cards with a few friends He moved
to Louisville shortly after his re
markable resuscitation, which made
him the subject of much curiosity in j
Kansas City.
Hancock lives in strict seclusion,
and rarely ever goes out now. He*
has but rarely been seen upon the
streets. During the time that he lay
in the coffin be remembers nothing,
and was, so far as any signs given
out, dead.

Of thy brother, foe or friend,
Take thou then the silent way.
Lest in word thou shouldst offend.
“Article 1. The name of this asso
ciation snali be the Tongue Guard
Society.
“Article 2. Any person may be
come a member of this society by
signing the constitution and con
forming to its rules.
“Article 3. We, the undersigned,
pledge ourselves to endeavor to
speak no evil of any one.
“Article *4. Should we, however,
through carelessness break our
pledge, we agree for each and every
offense to forfeit the sum ofonecent.
'flic money so forfeited to be placed
in a box reserved for this purpose,
and to be expended semi-annually
tor charitable objects.
“Article 5. We also agree to use
our best endeavors to increase the
membership of the society in our
town, and to assist in organizing so
cieties in other jiiaces.
“Article 6. It is, however, under
stood that when called upon to give
our opinion of the character of an
other it shall be done in truth, re
membering in what we say the
scripture injunction, ‘Do unto others
as you would that they should do
unto you.”—Ex.
Tlie above shows that the people
in some sections of our country are
beginning to realize that harm is
often done by speaking evil of other .
Through thoughtlessness and a dis
regard of the ultimate result people
often say tilings of others, which
produce harm. Even light remarks
are often made that tend to injure
the usefulness of the person about
whom they are spoken. This is
done often-times with no intent to
injure, yet the result is the same.
Now if the Tongue Guard Society or
any other society will correct this
evil, let it be propagated.

A Chapter on Borrowing.
There is in the estimation of some
people no worse thing than a mort
gage on a farm. The interest is a
great cause ot trouble and the pay
ment of the principal is fearful to
contemplate. But there are worse
mortgages tha nthe mortgage on a
farm, worse troubles than the pay
ment of interest and many a worse
thing to contemplate than the final
payment of it. Men borrow a great
deal besides money that is worse to
pay’ than a mortgage. Thyy borrow
| a heap of trouble; they fret and
worry and are anxious, and make
' their wives and family do the same.
This breeds unhappiness at home,
! discontent among the hoy’s, quarrel
| mgs and bickerings and angry’ con
tentions. and makes home anything
but a home of peace and content
ment. Borrowing is not necessarily
bad, but the borrowing of trouble is
one of the most mischievous of evils.
