FATHER SHERMAN’S MISTAKE.
It Is evident, from a dispatch from
Calhoun, Gordon county, this. State,
that Father Sherman, whose march,
with a military escort, through Geor
gia over the track of desolation made
by his father at the head of an.in
vading army forty years ago, does not
understand the people of the South
and that he falls utterly to appreciate
the feeling of resentment which was
behind the avalanche of criticism
hurled at him by the Southern press
when the circumstances under which
he was to visit this state became
known:
A special dispatch from Calhoun:
which we find In the Atlanta Journal,
follows:
Calhoun, Ga„ May 4.—Father Sher
man, accompanied by a detail of the
Twelfth cavalry, camped near town
last night arid left early tills morning
on their return to Chlcljamauga. While
here he was seen by some of the citi
zens and said ho had no 111 will for
the people of tills state, as he attrib
uted the present objections to be po
litical.
He said he was entirely out of poli
tics and was the president of a college
In Chicago, where ho was devoting bis
time to his parish, which had a mem
bership of 65,000.
Father Sherman was presented with
a bill Introduced In Congress by Hon.
Gordon Lee for the payment for the
Baptist and Presbyterian churches at
Calhoun, Ga., taken and used by Shear
man for army purposes. He took
copies of these bills and will forward
them to his member In congress from
his parish and will write a personal
letter to hts member asking his sup
port In the passage of these bills.
Mr. A. W. Ballon, one of the promi
nent citizens here', had a conversation
With Father Sherman on these lines
fcnd ho premised him he would take
the matter up rin his return home and
Use his Influence on that line.
Father Sherman Is wide of the mark
when he says that the objections to
his Invasion of the state under escort
of a troop of the United States army-
was "political.” Politics had nothing
to do with It. If Father Sherman had
said that the objection to his escapade
was sectional he would have come
nearer the truth of the situation; for
If he had Informed himself he would
have learned that the feeling of re
sentment was conflned to no political
party, but was Bbared by all Southern
people regardless of their political
opinions or affiliations.
The Southern people have not for
gotten the barbarity of Father Slier-
man's father and his soldiers when
they marched as an Invading army
through Georgia. Indeed, they are not'
Sherman's march of forty years ago. .
It seems that there are some people
at the North who never will be able to
appreciate the fact that the Southern
people have refined feelings that exist
in a civic latitude high above politics
and that they naturally resent any ef
fort upon the part of any Individual,
party or sect that Ib Instinctively.and
distinctively Nprthern In Its Ideas, re
lations and associations, to rub salt
Into the tender places left by the
wounds of the war between the two
sections.
According to all reports the hall
storm which swept across a wide
strip of country to the north of Albany
yesterday afternoon wrought damage
to growing crops that will aggregate
$100,000.
The Dare Line Reached.
From the Fort Gaines Sentinel.
A few developments may now be ex
pected. The Democratic party of Geor
gia has been approaching the “dare”
line scratched down by the Smith-
Watson crowd for the past twelve
months, and It got there all right and
planted the Democratic banner right
on the firing line. The old “uuterrl-
fled” has kept the state saved since
the days of the carpet-bagger and the
scalawag, and the people think they
are to be Intrusted a while longer.
Nevertheless, we look for develop
ments.

For
allowed to forget It, and If the priest
son of the house-burner of 1864-5 wants
to get a fair Idea of what Ills father
did and of the horrors of his raid, let
him read the following extract from
"The History of the War Between the
States,” written by Alexander H.
Stephens and reproduced by T. K,
The ruling' of the State Democratic
Committee as to tho qualification of
voters in the primary will not cause
any trouble here In Dougherty county,
,unless the few white Republicans In
-• the county want to vote without re
nouncing the G. O. P. and the devil
B and aligning themselves with the
'Democratic party. 1 We have no Pop-

HE-.I .
There seems to be no ndequato foun-
- datlon for the report that the remains
^ of Pocahontas are to be exhumed from
'the. place of their lntorment. or en-
tombment, at Gravesend. In England
nd brought to tills couutry In connec
tion with the coming tercentennial cel-
brntion at Jamestown. The ol>3tncle
in the way of the carrying out of such
£ji- program is said to be thnt the
‘ Gravesend church, in which Pocnhon-
i
a' body was entombed when she
. ‘ of smallpox, has since been
ned and the position of the vaults
only be guessed at, even If there
sere any probability that their con-
s could be Identified. The search
ijd probably be even more difficult
ban that for the remains of John Paul
. This would seem to be suffi-
tly, discouraging, unless, Indeed,
Indomitable patriot like Gen.
:e. Porter Is ready to undertake
i task at short notice.
Oglesby In “Some Truths of History”:
"Private houses were sneked, pil
laged and then burnt; and after all
family supplies were destroyed, or
rendered unfit for use, helpless
women and hungry children were left
destitute alike of shelter and food. I
know men—old men, non-combatants,
men who had nothing to do with the
war further than to Indulge In that
sympathy which nature , prompted —
who were seized by a licensed Boldlery
and put to brutal torture, to compel
them to disclose and deliver up treas
ure that It was supposed they pos
sessed. They wore In ninny Instances
hung by the neck until llfo was .nearly
extinguished, and thon cut down with
the promise to desist Jf their demands
were complied with, and threats to re
peat the operations to death If they
were not. Judge Hiram Warner, one
of the most upright and unoffending,
as well as one of tho most distin
guished citizens of Georgia, was the
victim of an outrage of this sort. He
had had nothing to do with the war,
but It was supposed that he had
money, and that was what these “truly
loynl Union restorers," so-called, were
eager to secure. Instances of a slrnl-
lnr character wore numerous and no
torious. In some cases, where parties
resisted, their llvos, as well as their
purses, watches nnd other articles of
value, were taken.”
It Is strange indeed that a man of
"the cloth," as Father Sherman is sup
posed to be, can not appreciate the
fact that the people of Georgia who
live along the trail of desolation made
by his soldier father, do not relish the
idea of having him march through
their fields and villages, now rebuilt,
with a tropp of cavalry from the regu
lar army, for tho gratification of his
curiosity or to gloat over his father's
achievements, when his presence and
that of the troops would naturally and
unavoidably recall the outrages of
John Chinaman’s Example.
From she New Orleans Tlmee-Demooret.
When the Chinese merchants turned
over their contributions to the mayor
yesterday, and were asked if It was to
be devoted expressly to the relief of
their countrymen in San FranclBco the
spokesman replied: “No, for all; for
American man, too.” Somewhat pa
thetic, this, coming from almost the
only race none of whom may become
an “American man, too.”

A Missouri judge tells how he quiet
ed a barber who had a lotion for sale.
The barber had just sbaved him and
before letting him up wanted to sell
him the jotton to use on bis face when
he shaved himself. “Is this what you
uso on your customers!" asked the
Judge. “No," replied the barber; “It Is
so expensive I cannot afford It.” “If
you can’t afford when you get 10 cents
for shaving a man.” replied tbp judge,
“how do you expect me to afford It
when I shave myself for nothing?”
The barber was nonplused and gave
up the sale.
Not Himself.
Mistress (to head gardener, who has
been 111)—I’m glad to see you out

But I ain’t anythlnk like right yet
Why, when the wind blew these ’ere
pots over, blnstcad of a-callin’ the bun

For the Land’* Sake.
The farmer was fertilizing his soil.
A lady from the city stopped to gaze
at him.
"What on earth Is that?" she asked.
“A new fertilizer, ma’am.”
“For the land sake!” she cried.
"Yes, ma’am.” said the farmer.
Not Worth While.
“Perhaps If I were to boll It down.”
suggested the space writer.
“Wouldn’t do any good." said the ob
durate editor. "Take a gallon of wa
ter and boil It down to a pint, and II
would still be nothing but water.”
Antidote For Carbolic Add.
It may prove valuable Information
to know that alcohol Is the antidote of
carbolic add and how to use It. If the

Internal, swallow whisky.
