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. * 7T 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 Albany Decorating Co., Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Wall Paper, Burlaps, Room MouialnsB. Rumney Bldg.

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.

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.
