CENTRAL CITY SEEMS TO HAVE CAPTURED A
MAJORITY OF THE STATE COMMITTEE.
Special to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga., April 26.—Those who
are keeping up with things political
In Georgia are now convinced that the
state convention which is to name a
governor to succeed Hon. Joseph M.
Terrell will be held In Macon. The
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee will meet at the Kimball House
here next Monday morning for .the pur
pose of selecting a date for the state
primary and also to decide, where the
nominating convention will be held.
Atlanta apparently supposed that
the convention would certainly be held
here and Bat back, awaiting formal
action of the committee, of which Hon.
M. J. Yeomans, of Dawson, Is chair
man. Not so with Macon, however.
That city went to work with a ven
geance to land the convention, and it
is now understood that practically a
majority of the members of the com
mittee are In favor of having the con
vention In the Central City.

SHOOTING AFFRAY
IN LEE COUNTY.
Mr. J. R. Davis Has Trouble With
Negro at Walters Crossing.
Yesterday morning Mr. J. R. Davis,
who manages one of the farms of the
S. B. Brown Company, at Walters
Crossing, in Lee county, had a misun
derstanding with one of the negro
hands on the place. The row started
at the lot. The negro went to his
house and returning with a double-
barrelled shotgun shot at Mr. Davis,
who was coming out the door of his
house. The load missed Mr. Davis,
hut one of the shot struck Mrs. Davis
in the throat, happily without serious
effect. The negro then stepped be
hind a telegraph pole. In the mean
time Mr. Davis had gotten his rifle.
He shot at the negro, wio fell to the
ground. At this juncture another of
the hands told Mr. Davis not to shoot
any more, that he had killed the man,
as Mr. Davis believed he had.
But the negro, while lying on the
ground, had unbreeched his gun and
was preparing to shoot again, so Mr.
Davis, deliberately taking aim with
his rifle on a fence, shot the negro In
the leg. The negro’B leg was broken.
Dr. Davis was sent out to dress the
negro’s wound.
RAN RAILROAD CAR
ACROSS THE STREET.
Freight Car Did Not Break Street
Paving, But Crushed Sidewalk.
Owing to a misunderstanding of a
signal from the switchman last night
the engineer of the A. C. L. switch en
gine which was drilling cars on the
A. &. L. yards at the freight depot
property on Washington street backed
a loaded freight car almost entirely
across Washington street
The car was pushed over the dirt
barricade, across the sidewalk and
yearly across the street Under the
heavy weight of the car the tiles In
the sidewalk were crushed, but the
vitrified brick In the street paving
held up the car, the only damage that
is apparent being the sinking ot a sin
gle brick the fraction of an Inch. The
track that the car left in the street Is
but the narrow Impress of the wheel
flanges In the pitch which was poured
over the brick when the paving was
laid and which has not yet entirely
worn away.
After the car was pushed out In the
street the only thing to do was to pull
It back Into the railroad yards, so It
passed back over the pavement again.
The fact that the street paving Is
strong enough to hold the weight of a
Mr. Davis soon took control of the Ioaded flight car would seem to be a
situation and in about fifteen minutes convincing test as to the quality of
had the hands back at work. Some of
the neighbors had come over, lmme-
diately after the row, but things were
soon quiet

Obstinacy.
There Is something In obstinacy
which differs from every other passion.
Whenever It falls It never recovers,
but either breaks like Iron or crum
bles sulkily away like a fractured arch.
Most other passions have their period
of fatigue and rest, their sufferings
and their cure, but obstinacy has no
resource, and the first wound Is mortal

STREET SWEEPER
HAS ARRIVED.
City Will Keep Its Paved Street Clean.
Will Be Swept Dally.
The street-sweeper, which has been
en route to Albany for the past sev
eral weeks, has at last arrived, and
will be put In operation tomorrow. The
sweeper In a big affair and will he
drawn by a pair of horses. It Is one
of the most modern street-cleaning
machines that has been perfected and
is now in use In all the big cities of
the country.
It has been Impossible without this
machine to keep Washington street as
clean as Albanians desired It should
be kept. The city ’ authorities have
endeavored to do the very best they
could do by having the street swept
by hand, but the task has been slow
and unsatisfactory. The new swqeper
will pass over the Btreet as often as
Is necessary 1 to keep It In first-class
order. By using this machine the
street can be swept quickly and swept
well.
The news of the arrival of the
street-sweeper will . be joyfully re
ceived by all.
Derivation of Phrases.
Next to Shakespeare we draw most
profusely from the Bible for terse ex
pressions, rroverbs and Ecclesiastes
furnishing tbe larger proportion from
the Old Testament and St. Paul’s epis
tles from tbo New. Milton, though far
behind these two great sources of Eng
lish speech, gives us more familiar ex
presslons than any other writer after
them. From him we have learned to
spenk of “a dim religious light,” of
“grim death,” “a heaven on earth” and
“sanctity of reason,” of “adding fuel
to the flames,” of "tempering Justice
with mercy,” of the “busy hum of
men," “the light fantastic toe” (that
boon to provincial reporters) and tbe
“neat banded Phyllis.” Chaucer, though
rich in material for quotation, has giv
en as no pithy phrases, but from Spen
ser, who sang of blm as the “well of
English undefyled,” we get “nor thyme
nor reasou,” “by hoo|c' or crook,”
“sweet attractive grace” and “through
thick and thin.”—Chambers’ iournal.

COlor Schemes In Bnlldlnfi.
Strange how little we Americans do
with color. Wo have a red brick house
or a yellow brick liouBe with a red tile
roof or a green roof, and that's about
the gamut we run. Most beautiful ef
fects can be gained by the use of enam
eled colors even on flat surfaces; dainty
patterns can be worked out and bril
liant yet harmoplous effects gained.
Our coloring schemes ere tame. We
certainly have much to learn In'that re
spect from the Persians of old. They
were masters In enamel, and their
work was gorgeous, beautiful. With
us It Is lack of taste: It certainly Is not
lack of material. There are American
makers of tile that produce material
equal to that of antiquity, the richest
colors and the most easily adapted
shapes.—Clay Worker.
