' Bad nows travels faster than any qther kind, except a kind that Is often v^O.rse—news that Isn’t so. It begins to look like the time for ' the- separation of the political sheep and .goats In Georgia Is near at hand.

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. went Into effect In England. 180?—Cleopatra’s coffin arrived In England. 1804—Empire formed In France. 1808—Treaty of Bayonne between Na- 1 poleon and Charles IV. 1811—John William Draper, maker of first photograph, born. 1814—Napoleon landed at Elba. 1818—Karl Marx, founder t)f German socialism, born; died March 14 1883. 1821— Napoleon I. died at St. Helena; born August 15, 1769. 1822— Thomas Truxton, distinguished American naval officer, died. ,1836—Carllst entrenchments near Her- nani taken by the English le gion. 1842—Great Are at Hamburg; lasted three days. 1853—New plrinet discovered by Prof. Luther. 1862—Battle of.

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- . ultsts In Dougherty. 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.” THI8 DATE IN H18T0RY.

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 again, Bates. Bates—Thankee, mum. But I ain’t anythlnk like right yet Why, when the wind blew these ’ere pots over, blnstcad of a-callin’ the bun der gnrdner to pick 'em up, blessed If I didn’t start a-doln' of It myself!— Punch. 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.
