TUo State Democratic Executive
ittee saw tbe drift of things In
state and thought It was time to
it a policy that would preserve the
itegrity of the party.
The rules and regulations adopted
by the State Democratic Committee
tor the Demooratlo primary this year,
with speolal reference to the qualifica
tion of voters, Is not different from
: the ■ practice of some of the county
committees of the state In paBt years,
Only, white- Democrats who, when chal
lenged, would signify their Intention to
align themselves with the Demooratlo
party and support the party ticket,
state and national, have heretofore
I 'peeu permitted to vote In the Demo-
Wane primaries In some of the couu
'ties, and for these oountles the rules
Inhl down by tho State Committee this
year are in no wise “revolutionary,"
i)X.
Why should a man who Is running
.for the governorship of Georgia In a
pemocratlc primary and who claims to
■stand for Democratic principles and
^measures object to having hl3 claims
■ passed upon bv Democrats alone? The
howl that Is being raised In certain
THE LOCUST BOOOABOO.
We nre now being Informed from
many different sources, mainly through
the newspapers, that both the 13-year
and 17-year locusts are due to appear
this summer. And If we give credence
to all the prophots and those who keep
tab on the locust plague we may ex
pect the locusts to be unusually nu
merous and ravenoUB this year. Those
who believe that the weather as well
us pestilences and other calamities
have some occult connection with the
habits of Insects, birds and other ani
mals are now telling us that they have
occasion enough this year to fortify
their belief In the malignant Influence
exerted by the periodical locusts.
An article In the Philadelphia Rec
ord, discussing the locust plague, tells
us that—
quantity of self-sealing envelopes of
uniform appearance and suitable size
and q&allty for use In elections afore
said.”
But this act was amended on Nov.
30, 1900, by the legislature, the bill be
ing offered by Representative Hitch
of Chatham county, and the amend
ment provides that—
1. The proper county authorities
shall be provided with sufficient
blanks, tally sheets and blank lists for
vpters. In addition to those that are
now furqlBhed.
2. That tally nheets shall have
printed thereon proper heading and
certificate, and, as far as practical, the
names of the severe.! candidates, with
proper headings and certificates.
This opinion was expressed by Mr.
Cook after a consultation with Attor
ney-General Hart."
i
Hon. Ben Jones, of Macon, accuses
The 13-year variety, despite Its
unlucky number, Is not nearly as
much of a “hoodoo" as the 17-year
variety. It Is on record that the
first appearance of the latter In
Plymouth Colony In 1633 was at
tended by a series of Ills. They
“did eat up the gren things, and
made such a constant yelling nblse
as mado all the woods ring of
them, and ready to deaf the hear
ers; and there, came a very hot
summer and a plague, which con
tinued until cold weather and
come a very hot summer and a
plague, and near to Plymouth."
We are not going to question the
“record” handed down by the - Ply
mouth Colony, but we must beg to be
permitted to say that this 13-year and
17-year locust scare that is worked up
periodically never materializes down
here In God’s country. To be perfect
ly frank about It, we don't, believe In
the much-mooted and periodically pre
dicted periodical locust plague. This
writer has passed through several of
these 7-year, 13-year and 17-year pe
riods, and he has yet to see a plague
of locUBts. We have more or less of
tho locusts, the kind that "make the
woods ring," every j'ear, but there haB
never beon anything like a plague of
locusts to “eat up . the green things’
down here In God’s country since we
have been old enough to sit up and
take notloe of thlngB. And we are no
spring chicken. That locusts do some
times appear In sufficient numbers to
do damage to the “green things" In
some sections and localities we shall
not dispute, but the peflodiclty of the
plague, or the classification of the In-
soots Into 7-year, 13-year and 17-year
locusts, each class appearing in Its
regular order, looks to us! more like a
legend on superstition than a fact
borne out by observation.
quarters over the action of the Stnte
Democratic Committee for adopting
clear-cut Democratic rules and regula
tions for the state primary Is evidence
. of the fact that It was time to straight
en out the parly lines. Those who
have been Populists whenever there
was a Populist candidate and Demo
crats only when there was no other
Choice to be made, will now have to
.show their hands and bo Democrats or
i Populists—one or the other.
The president has called off Father
Sherman’s official body guard, and the
Sou of the Union general who laid
Georgia waste will march to the sen
alone, If at all. General Duvall, com-
mauder of the Department of the Gulf,
seems to have been responsible .for
, the assignment of a cavalry escort to
Father Sherman, and that officer has
been directed by the War Department
to show for what purpose and by what
authority he acted. The President’s
promptness In calling oft the partici
pation of Federal troops In the expedi
tion Is to be commended, and the peo
ple of the South will be disposed to
accept the Inference carried by recent
developments, that he knew nothing
whatever of Father Sherman’s pro
posed trip until hls attention was di
rected to It by the outburst of Indigna
tion which rose from every part of the
South.
A FALSE ALARM.
The Atlanta Journal uncovered a
mpro’s nest yesterday afternoon when
It declared, upon the alleged authority
of Secretary of Slate Phil Cook, that
the date set by the State Democratic
Committee for the convention was so
late that It would bo Impossible for
the Secretary of State to comply with
the law requiring him to send, out
blanks for the election thirty days
prior to the date of election.
But this morning's Atlanta Consti
tution makes Secretary Cook reverse
himself. Either that, or the Journal
did not quote him correctly yesterday
at tei noon.
The Constitution tills morning says;
“Tho date set by the Democratic Ex
ecutlvo Committee for the state con
vention, Sept. 4, Is all right, and there
Is absolutely nothing about it in the
least to Interfere with the legality of
the state election in October, declares
Secretary of State Phil Cook.
Statements In an Atlanta afternoon
paper l,o the effect that the date set
for the convention was too late as to
interfare with'the stilt i election laws
are declared absurd by Mr. Cook, so
the whole effort to raise a disturbance
over this matter turns out to be
tempest In a teapot.
The secretary’ of state is required
to seud out blanks for the election
thirty days prior to the date of the
election, but he Is only required tp
have the names of tho candidates put
on the blanks as far as practicable.
The situation is told In the two
acts quoted below;
Section 181 of the second volume of
the code provides that-
"At least thirty days previous to the
election of governor, members of the
general assembly, representatives to
congress, etc., the secretary of state
shall furnish each ordinary of the Btate
with printed formB of returns, certifi
cates and directions, together .with
any advice he may deem necessary to
secure proper returns; and he’ shall
the Macon hotels of extortion In the
matter of rates for delegates to the
State Democratic Convention, and he
threatens to build .a 100-room hotel be
fore September 4, the date of the con
vention. Mr. JoneB got hls Irish up,
It seems, after applying to the Macon
hbtols for rooms for Clark Howell
headquarters. The Macon hotel men
deny that they are In tor a hold-up
game ’ and declare that they will
charge only the regular rates during
the convention.
“Just Putting Up a Holler.”
From the Bavunnah Preas. -
Mr. A. A. Lawrence, a member of
the state executive committee, and
who was on the committee on rules,
which drafted the provisions objec
tionable to the Journal, was shown
the telegram giving the attitude of
that paper.
Mr. ’Lawrence said the Journal was
mistaken about the ordinaries having
to be furnished with blankB, etc., thir
ty days previous to the day of the
election for governor. The committee
looked up this point,, says Mr., Law
rence and found that ten days was the
legal time.
Mr. Lawrence says, in reference to
Mr. Youmans having expressed any
doubts about the matter, that’if Mr.
Youmans had anything of this sort to
say he did not’hear him.
Mr. Lawrence concludes by saying:
"They’re Just putting up a holler.”
All the World’over there are legends
about mermaids. The Chinese /tell
stories not unlike others about tho sea
woman of tliolr southern seas. Man

Legend of n Boole.
A quaint and kindly legend, Illustrat
ing tbe sorrow devout Christians used
to feel for tbe paganism of their fa
vorite classlq authors, Is .that of St
Cadoc and .nth Virgil. St/Cad’oc,*whose
day Is Jan. 24, was tho son of a South
Welsh prince, who founded several
monasteries In Glamorganshire and
neighboring regions, but was driven
away to Brittany by the coming of the
Saxons. There he was walking one
day with a copy of Virgil’s poems In
hls hand and wept to think that Vir
gil as a pagan might be In hell. An
ultra orthodox friend who was with
film severely reproved him for even
doubting tbe fact, and a sudden gust
of wind carried the book out of Cu-
doc’s hand Into tbe sea. But that
night he beard In a dream a sweet
voice saying; “Pray for me; weary not
In praying. I will slug the mercies of
the Lord forever.” And next day a
fisherman brought Cadoc a fish inside
which the Virgil was found uninjured.

’ Mixed Wives.
In the early part of the last century
there lived in an old New England
town a Mr. Church, who In the course
of hls earthly life was bereft of- four
wives, nil of whom were burled In the
satn'e lot. In bis old age It became
necessary to remove the remains to a
new cemetery. This he undertook him
self, but In the process the bones be
came hopelessly mixed. Hls “New
Engln'nd conscience" would not allow
him under the painful circumstances
to use the original headstones, so he
procured new ones, one of which bore
the following Inscription:
“Here lies Hannah Church and prob
ably a portion of Emily.”
Another:
“Sacred to the memory of Emily
Church, who seems to be mixed with
Matilda.”
Then followed these lines:
Stranger, pause and drop a tear,
For Emily Church lies burled here.
Mixed In some porplexlng manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably Han
nah.

The Last Versailles Bourbon. -
There Is at Versailles an orange tree
some five centuries old. This tree,
which was taken from Foutalnebleau
of Versailles oa the completion of the
orangery, was already famous under
the title of the Grand Bourbon. Ac
cording to tradition, the tree had been
planted In 1421 by a Princess of Na
varre and after several changes of
owners canto luto the possession of
Francois I., by whom It was placed at
Fontainebleau. When it reached Ver
sailles the king came to visit it, anil
two grand Bourbons were then face to
face. The man passed, and even his
bones, torn from their tomb at St.
Deals aud tossed into a trench, have
perished. Not a pinch of his dust ‘re
mains. But the; tree lives and blooms

Versailles, serene, Invincible, enthron

A Miniature Inland Ocean.
One of the queerest sheets of water
in New England or within the limits of
the United States, or the world for
that matter, Is the celebrated “Snow’s
ocean” In the state of Maine. When
calm It is to all appearances an ordinary
pond of no great dimensions, but ob
servations and investigations made
more than a century ago, prove that the
little body of water is a veritable
ocean. It Is located in Orrington, near
Bangor, and its peculiarity is that, al
though situated among some high hills
some distance from ocean or river, it
has tides which rise and fall as regular
ly ns do those of the great Atlantic.
Many so called scientific examinations
o^ thjs miniature ocean’s bed and sur
rounding banks have been made, but
so far no tenable explanation of the
phenomenon has ever been given to the
