It being the first game between these rival clubs, much interest was manifested, and as each made an inning their friends applauded them uproariously. A more hotly contested game has rarely been played on these grounds, some of the boys making desperate efforts to cover their bases against the usu al rules of well managed club3. Heretofore they have been playing at odd times and in backgrounds, but in this contest they had to en counter a scrutinizing audience. When it is remembered that the clubs have been,in train ing only a few months, and with little hope ot ever being admitted into the National League, they ex hibited astonishing proficiency. Umpire J. E. Featherston gave general satisfaction. The score stood—Printers 32, Rangers 30. The Rangers are practicing daily, and the public may expect an inter esting game next Friday afternoon. Everybody invited to attend. ‘ VOX POPULI.” BRIEF INTERVIEWS WITH THE PEOPLE ON THE SENATORIAL QUESTION. Hon. Hugh Buchanan— “Mr.James is a man of fine capaci ty and would make a good Senator. If he had enjoyed the advantages of an early education he would have few superiors in this part ot the State.” Judge Wm. Wells— “I think the action of the conven tion was wrong. The position belongs to Douglas and Mr. James ought to have it.” Hon. P. F. Smith— “Douglas county is clearly enti tled to name the candidate, and her wishes, when clearly expressed, ought to be regarded.” J. A. Kinnard— “I am opposed to the rotation system, hut am not willing to act hoggish about it by sacrificing any principle in making the change.” W. B. Berry— “I think Douglas county is enti tled to the Senator and Coweta is in hoDor bound to give it to her, Mr. James would make a No. 1 Sen ator.” J. R. McCollum— “Mr. James was treated badly. He is entitled to the nomination as the choice of Douglas county. Cow eta ought to keep her pledge to her sister counties.” G. H. Carmicai— “I think Douglas county ought to have it It looks bad for Coweta to break up the rotation system just after she has had the Senator.” Dr. A. B. Calhoun— “As the rotation system has been adhered to until it came to Doug las’ time, I think she ought to have it. I have no sympathy with the effort to break down a good man.” P. F. Cuttino— “If there was a pledge made to rotate, we ought to rotate until we get to the end.” J. A. Hunter— “All I have got to say about it is, It is not right.” Y. H. Thompson— “I think Douglas county was treated badly. It is wrong to run the rotation system until the two big counties have had their Senator and then break it up. James ought to have it.” J. B. S. Davis— “Mr. James is a good and upright man and will make a good Senator. The counties ought to respect Douglas’ feelings iu the matter. I approve of the rotation system.” U. B. Wilkinson— “The action of the convention in ignoring the choice of Douglas county cannot result in any good to Coweta.” Dr. J. T. Moore— “I have known Mr. James for ten years. He is a good man.” J. E. Jones— “It isDouglas’ county’s time and we have no right to go back on her man.” Dr. J. S. Reese— “In justice to Coweta, Mr. James ought to have been treated with more courtesy.” T.E. Fell— “Always put me down as in tavor ol what is just and courteous to strangers.” J. P. Brewster— “Coweta is bound by the action of her delegates in the last Senatori al Convention in pledging her to the rotation system. It would re sult disastrously to break loose now.” W. C. Snead— “Let the rotation system be right or wrong, it was certainly the wrong time to ‘sit down on it.’ ” Thomas Carpenter— “I don’t think it was right.” J. S. Powe'l— “Under the rotation system, which is still of force, Douglas county ought to have it.” Dr. C. D. Smith— “In justice to Mr. James and Douglas county I think he ought to be nominated.” J. S. Miller— “I don’t know James, but he was treated badly.” T. M. Jones— “When the rotation system is abolished the fight will be between Meriwether and Coweta, while Campbell and Douglas will hold the balance of power. The last named counties will naturally stand by Coweta if we treat them right. James ought by all means to be nominated.” Judge J. W. Powell— “Coweta can’t afford to go back on her neighbors. Mr. James was treat ed badiy. He ought to be nomina ted.” Dr. F. H. Daniel— “I think Mr. James was wrongly treated. He ought to have the nom ination.” Hon. W. A. Turner— “1 am for Joe James. He ought to be nominated.” I. N. Orr— “The rotation system can’t be abolished without first giving notice. We ought to be controlled by prin ciple.” H. C. Arnall— “I think the masses of the county are opposed to the manner in whicn Mr. James was treated. He ought to be nominated.” J. B. Willcoxon— “I don’t think we have any voice In the matter. We ought to respect Douglas’ choice.” R D. Cole, Sr.— “I don’t think we ought to try to run over Douglas because it is a lit tle county. We ought to nominate her man.” Alex. Pope- - “I don’t know Mr. James, but from what I can hear he was not treated right.” J M. Glass— “From what I can hear I don’t think it was fair. We ought to re spect the choice of Douglas county.” Orlando McClendon— “I think Mr. James ought to be nominated, because he Is clearly the choice of Douglas county and the best man for the place. I am opposed to stopping the rotation system until it has gone around.” Hon. Lavender R. Ray— “The strength of Coweta county lies in the fact that we have always treated candidates from other coun ties with liberality and courte sy. By this course we have general ly been able to get what we want. It will do us great harm to now de feat the choice of Douglas county. No man in the District will make a better Senator than Mr. James.” W. T. Stallings— “I was in the House with Mr. James. He made a good Represen- sentive and will make a good Sena tor.” Dr. A. C North- “Douelas considered it her time; she put out two candidates; Mr. Jo mes was s lected by a large ma jority. Coweta must, in good faith stand to the rule and support him.” O. M. Cavendei- - ‘•i am a delegate. The County Convention had no right to instruct me. That right belongs to ray dis trict. I am instructed for James and intend to vote for him ” Hon. P. H. Brewster— “I have known Mr. James f years and regard him as being able and, practical, a good lawyer, and in every sense responsible and wor- they. I am sure he would sustain himself in the Senate and reflect credit on the district. If the Senator is to come from Douglas, Mr. James being the choice-of that county, he ought to receive the nomination.” Communicated.] THE SEUATORIAL SCRAMBLE. The great number of people whe have noticed current local events have been considerably surprised at the action of certain friends of J. S. James, the would-be Sena tor from Douglas county. Mr. James, as everyone knows, was defeated in the County Conven tion, and delegates were instructed against him by a vote of nearly two to one. And yet certain over zeal- lus friends of that gentleman are driving furiously over the county, attempting by political chicanery and the acts of accomplished dema goguery to obtain their support of Mr.James iu face of the stern pro test of Coweta county in convention assembled. We have been taught from our earliest infancy, and have found it to be sound governmental doctrine, that “the will of the people is su preme and should be held sacred;” and from no persons have we heard this doctrine upheld and more earnestly championed than by these same over-zealous friends of would- bo Senator James. But it seems that for the moment, they have forgot ten that consistency is a jewel, and in the face of Coweta’s distinct and emphatic repudiation of the p^pten- sions of said James, are making most terriffic Liliputian efforts to hoist him into the office of Senator over the will and franchises of a free and enlightened public senti ment. To all men of sound judg ment and discretion, who believe in the good old Democratic doctrine of supremacy of the will of the peo ple, their puerile efforts will appear somewhat sensational and slightly disgusting, and we must mistake the character and good sense of those delegates should they be deceived by any such transparent trickery. S. inst, and invite the people of the District to assist us in nominating and eleting him to the Senate. That we condemn, in unmeas ured terms, the action of CoL J. V. Edge, one of Douglas’ citizens, in going to Newnan and speaking against the rotation system, and re gard his action in the* premises to be wholly to gratify his political en mity to the Hon. J. S. James, to do which he would forever debar the county of Douglas from her rights as a member of the 36th Senatorial District. 5.

Salt Springs, Ga.: At a meet ing of the citizens of Douglas coun ty held here to-day, about 1,200 be ing present, Judge Stewart, Colonel Mynatt and Professor J. G. Camp addressed our people on the issues of the day, after which loud and prolonged calls were made for Hon. J. S. James, who responded In one his happiest efforts. This being right near where he was born and raised, he stands deservedly high with all the people, and his appearance on the rostrum was the signal for renewed cheering and applause. The people seemed to be wild with excitement, and after his speech was closed the following res olutions were unanimously adopt ed: We, the people of Douglas coun ty, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby submit to the people of the Thirty-Sixth Senatorial District that in each and every election we have stood squarely to the people of Coweta county, and have done all in our power to elect her citizens to office, in all contests in which Douglas had a voice. We further submit that in the last Senatorial Convention, a resolution was offer ed by a delegate from Coweta, stat ing that the rotation system should still prevail in this Senatorial Dis trict, which resolution was unani mously adopted by the convention, and under this rotation system, Coweta’s candidate was nominated and elected. We further submit that the rotation system has always prevailed in this District and «e believe it is the only rule that will insure Democratic harmony in the District. Therefore, u’e, the people of Douglas county, hereby adopt the following resolutions: 1. That we condemn the action of Coweta’s convention on the 6th inst., in passing a resolution to ab rogate the rotation, system im this Senatorial District, as being unjust, inexpedient and against the usages of the party in this District, and squarely against Coweta’s posi tive pledge and arguments and against the .decided action of the Democratic conventions that have been held in this District ever since it has been organized. 2. That we hereby pledge our hearty support to the rotation sys tem, und especially so until Doug las and Campbell shall have had the Senators, and here say that we will d'> all that we can to elect the can didate of Campbell’s choice at the next Senatorial election two yeais hence, and we earnestly ask and request that all the good people of the counties of Campbell, Coweta and Meriwether will co-operate with us in carrying out this inten tion, and in maintaining the rota tion system. 3. That iu the person of Hon. J. S. James, the gentleman Douglas has presented as her choice for Senator this time, we have present ed to the District a gentleman wel. worthy of the people’s confidence; one well qualified and fitted for th. position of Senator; and one whom Douglas is proud of as a citizen His ability cannot be questioned, and we know he is untiring in en ergy, strictly sober, is wide awake on all public questions affecting the people’s interest, is a good busi ness man, an honorable gentleman, and is the decided choice of over four-fifths of the people of the coun ty, and that in him our people have implicit confidence. His record as a public servant is clear and aoove reproach, and as a citizen, gentle man and public servant, we com mend him to the District, and earn estly insist that Coweta shall, as far as possible, remedy the wrong done him in their convention of the 6th A Visit to a Giant in a Far Country—A Hair of His Head. Fairy tales are popular among them, and there is one winch comes from over the border in Siam which was told us by a Siamese. The exaggerations all hang together artistically and are in the same key, as it were: “There was once a king who heard that there was an enormous giant in a far country, and he declared that he should never rest till he got a hair of the giant’s head. So he sent his fleet, and they sailed and they sailed and they sailed for weeks and weeks and weeks, and at last one day in the after noon it became suddenly dark, and they stuck fast and could get neither forward nor backward. Now the fact was that they had got inside a hole in a sort of carrot, the smallest vegetable in the giant’s kingdom. “And behold the next morning the giant’s children went out to fish, and as they went they picked up two or three elephants on their way for Bait, but they were only able to catch a few of the very smallest fishes in the country—‘some thing equivalent to our minnows' (said the narrator). And as they were going back they saw the carrot growing by the water's edge, and pulled it up to put it into the curry, and inside it was the whole fleet. After they got home the giant threw the fish and the carrot into the pot in order to boil them, when the fleet rose out of the root to the top of the water with all the men in it. ‘What are those curious insects ?’ said the giant, peering down into the pot.” Then came a good deal more, wliich the narrator had forgotten. “The men tried to shout to the giant and tell him what it was that they wanted, but their voices were too weak, and he could not hear a word they said. At length he lifted them up to his ear in his hand, and a whole boat's crew marched in at the hole, and went ever such a long way up inside, and then they all shouted together and told him they had come from their king to ask him for a hair of his head. So at last he was able to hear what even then seemed to him only a whisper. Unlike his kind, the giant was apparently as good na- tured as he was big—he gave them the hair, lifted them back to the sea, where the hair, when put on board the fleet; nearly sank it, ‘after which he puffed out his cheeks and gave a tretaendous blow, which carried the fleet straight home hundreds of miles at one go.’ ”—Good Words. Order of Things in England. The hinds, as they are still called, the helots on the estates, are as stolid and brutish a race as any peasantry in the world, and seem' like the slaves of the south before emancipation, content with their condition, because they have never known or conceived any other. They are bred to suppose that what they see is the natural order of things, and that change is not only wrong but impossible, that their lot is ordained of God, as ine vitable as death, and deliverance as far off as the stars. The parson preaches this doctrine as religion; the squire lays it down as law; for the squire is also the justice of the peace, the highest and often the only of ficer of the law the laborer ever sees. Law, religion, rank, power, all are on one side; and the wretch with his shilling a day and his family to support, lives near the palace of his master, and rots and drinks, or starves and dies, ignorant of the possibility of improvement, and submissive—they say.—Adam Badeau’s Letter.

Every audience has to be won over, and an amateur does not always have the time or chance. I find my own frame of mind more or leas reflected by the audience, in the shape of coldness, if I am tired or nervous. Constant habit and practice and knowledge of stage methods enable a professional to play a part evenly and well, however little he may fancy it; but I find I must feel the beauty of the lines or the lesson they teach to do good work, and, at any rate, after re- citing or acting I feel discouraged and disappointed. The theatrical managers and professionals have always treated me with unvarying courtesy and kind ness, and even encouragement. To Mr. David Belasco especially I am indebted for much valuable advice and friendly counsel. The success of recitation naturally de pends much upon the choice of the piece, and I rarely decide upon my selection until the last moment, when I am on the spot and have made my estimate of the general character of the audience. Our judgment on a question of this sort is anything but infallible, and *at times, when trusting to my own instincts, I have arrived at very unfortunate results. But if a piece touches me and I feel its pathos, it is very natural to suppose it will affect others in the same way if properly interpreted. I am only a be ginner, however, and my experiences are almost all experiments. I find it far easier to interest an audi ence by a story with a moral than by something abstract, however superior the versification of the latter may be, and I have generally found country audi ences more appreciative of serions pieces than those in the city. City people want something gayer and more amusing, that will not make them think. Nor am I ashamed to confess that my most en thusiastic and generous critics have been workingmen and shop girls and news boys. For if they have had fewer ad vantages in education and refining asso ciations than those in a more fortunate position, their wits have been sharpened by practical trials and adversity, and the absence of affectation in themselves makes them quick to see through false sentiment and appreciate what is tree.— Gen Urquhart Potter, in lippincetFe.

Applied according to direction 2 or 3 months before confinement, its effect is wonderfully beneficial and gratifying. The delicate organs and parts directly involved are relaxed and soften and lose their rigidity without imparting their power, while its lubricating qnalities act like a charm, thus assuring a quick and almost painless delivery without physi cal exhaustion.
