The new boilers have been placed, and the rick work on the flues and furnace The candidates will go in to the white primary if the people tell them to. They can’t afford not to do so. Many friends of Dr. L. S. Ledbetter, one of Polk’s most popular citizens, are urging him to run for the Legisla ture this year—subject, of course, to the white primary. Out of the nineteen Supreme Court decisions published yesterday, there were fourteen reversals of Superior Court Judges, and very nearly the same proportion has been maintained lately. Pany is nearly completed, a large por tion of the ten-mile circuit being now m use. The officea-in Gedartown are connected gnff URing the phones now with the Reed pnmp an a washer, the Grady store and washer, and the pnmp near Fish. This metalliq circuit covers ten. miles, aiuVis a splendid private tele phone line.' The Hodges spring near FiBh has boen bought by the Alabama & Georgia Iron Company, and a big boiler and large pump.have boen placed there to supply the water for the mammoth ore washers at Grady. Two miles of 12- inch water piping have been laid, and the new 41og washer is nearing com pletion. Mr. N. H. Swayne, the vice president and general manager, says that just ns soon as the East & West road gets in its sidetrack from the main line to his washer, another big 4-log washer will be put np, and the company will then have capacity to mine and ship 1000 tons of iron ore daily. The quality of the oro at Grady is the very best, there being none snperior to it in the whole SoHth. The company is constructing several bonses for its employees at the Reed bank, at Grady and at the Fish pimp ing station. Jn the meantime, an immense amonnt of material is being piled up at the furnace preparatory to resuming opera tions. Already the stock house con tains over 200,000 bnshele of charcoal, and the fuel supply is added to daily by shipments of coke aud charcoal. Iron ore and lime rock are accumulat ing in large quantities, and when the historic old “Cherokee” resumes busi ness at the old stand, it will be in hotter Blmpe than ever before to turn out more and better pig iron. The South African war is now prac tically at an end, the British having captured Pretoria. Lord Roberts—or “Bobs,” as he is affectionately called by his troops,—is the toast of all Eng land, and great is the rejoicing. Hon. W. C. Bunn will be one of the Seventh District delegates to the Na tional Democratic Convention, and Polk county Democrats will thus re ceive a small portion of-the recogni tion due them for long and faithful service.—Rockinart Slate. Missionaries are having a hard time of it in China now. The “Boxers,” an organization antagonistic to all foreign influences, are actively engaged in hunting and killing them, and the situation is very serious. The smash ing of China may be the next thing in order. The various religious denominations have been “resolnting” for years against the use of whiskey in elec tions. The white primary is the most- effective way of stopping it, and good people can now show liow much in earnest they are by urging every can didate to go into the white primary August 15th. Gen. Joseph Wheeler has just been appointed a Brigadier "General in the U. 8. Army by the President. On ac count of the age limit the General will soon pass from the active to the retired list of army officers, and the old Southern hero will thus die on the army payrolls of the government he fought against thirty-five years ago. The foreign trade of the United States for April was $40,000,000, and for the fiscal year onr exports will foot up $400,000,000. The gain of the United States in foreign trade for ten years has been 150 per cent.,while that of England shows a small increase only, and that of Germany or other continental countries not over 25 per cent. Tile host of friends of lion. Flcm duBignon are delighted at his im proved health. They are glad of this for his own sake, and also be cause it will enable him to retain the chairmanship of the State Democratic Executive Committee for another term. The Democracy of Georgia re joices in the leadership of this brilliant and brainy statesman. A prominent New York preacher advocates the re-enslavement of the negro as the solution of the race problem. It is needless to say he is utterly ignorant of his subject. The people of the South would not take the negroes back as slaves, even if they could. The elimination of the negro through the white primary from objectional participation in politics, and liis industrial education, present the most effective remedies for exist ing troubles. Hon. W. J, Neel, the brilliant Roman whose election as a delegate from the Seventh District to the Dem ocratic National Convention was prac tically certain, has been obliged to de cline election by reason of ill health. The friends throughout tile district of Hon. W. C. Runn, of Cedartown, are urging his selection as one of the delegates, and there is-the best of rea son for believing that this true-blue Democrat will be an honored mem ber of Georgia’s delegation. THE WEEKLY EHIIORS. The Georgia editors of the weekly pa pers are about ready to bold thor annual celebration. President W. S. Coleman, of the Georgia Weekly Press Asso ciation, has abont completed arrange ments for their annnal outing, and he has arranged a delightful programme that will give the scribes a pleasant jaunt over a part of their state. The main place of meeting will be Elberton, where tlio Association will be in session on tlio 17th and 18th of July, enjoying the hospitality of that lovely little city. The editors will conio together as a body in Atlanta on the morning of the lfith of July, and here they will take the Seaboard Air-Lino for Athens, whore they will slop off in the afternoon and be ontortained as the gnests of University faculty and the social clubs of Athens. After a tour of inspection through tho University and tho Classic City the editors will he banqneted by the Athenaeum Club, The 17th and 18th will ho spent iu Elberton, where the time will he divided botween buisness and pleasure. Elberton is famous for its hospitality, and the Georgia developers will bo roy ally entertained in the good old-fash ioned Georgia way. A featnre of the stay in Elberton will be the ’cue given by the Granite City Cno Club. While in Elberton several papers and addresses will be delivered by prominent members of the Association, and the editors will compare and make notes. On the morning of the 19th, throngh tho conrtosy of tho Southern railroad, the Association will visit beautiful Tallu lah Falls,whore thoy will be tho gnest of tho Lodge. From Tallulah thoy will to Charleston and the Isle of Palms for a dip in the snrf. On tho way back, a stop for a day will be made in Angnsta and the Association will disbaud as a body in Atlanta.

GOOD, HUT COMES HIGH. The ordinary annnal expenditures of the government averaged in President Harrison’s term $301,291,323. They averaged in President Cleve land’s s .cond term $3G0,418,25-1. They have averoged in President Mc Kinley’s term $514,400,254. The cost of running the government is thus seen to have been increased by nearly $154,000,000 a year ever since Mr. McKinley was inaugurated. And this is not accounted for by tbo extra ordinary disbr rsements of the war, which are not included in these “ex penditures.” The outlay for war is a separate mat ter, and it accounts for the increase of tho public debt by $200,000,000 since Mr. McKinley’s inauguration. Senator Clay brought ont these facts in an es pecially strong speech in the United States Senate last week. Hon. Boykin Wright, of. Augusta, will be one of the four distinguished Democrats to' represent the, Georgia Demqcracy at the national convention in Kansas City. Polk will be glad of the opportunity to cast her vote for this brilliant and brainy citizen of Richmond. He is a loyal party man, and has fought the battles of tile Democratic party in Georgia all his life. He will prove a fitting and able representative, and should and will receive the hearty vote from every section of Georgia.

An Occnulon When the Old Ranch man Saw the Trick Done. “According to western stories,” said a former ranchman, “one of the favor ite amusements of frontier despera does Is ‘shooting out the lights.’ I nev er saw it done but once, but the inci dent made sufficient impression on my mind to last me for life. It was at Benton, a small camp on the old ’Stake Plain’ trail, in northeastern New Mexi co. I was staying there over night with a couple of cattlemen, nnd we naturally gravitated to the only resort in town, a sort of combination of bar and gambling house, in a. rough one story bnilding, containing a good sized single room. “The bar was on one side, and on the other were two or three ‘Mexican monte’ tables, over each of which were several large coal oil lamps in wall brackets. In the center of the place was a chandelier containing three more, altogether giving a good deal of light. We were sitting nt one side smoking and talking, when in rushed half a dozen drunken cowboys, headed by n well known ranchman named Bill Wells. “Tlie crowd were out for excitement nnd didn’t care how they got it. They took several drinks and then clustered around one of the monte tables. In a few moments Wells insisted upon mak ing a bet over the limit, to which the dealer objected. ‘If you don’t turn for that bet; I’ll shoot out your blnnkety blank lights!’ bawled the ranchman. ‘The leemit ez feety dollar,’ said the Alexiean dealer, and the words were no sooner out of his mouth than Wells and his gang pulled their six shooters and began blazing away at the lamps. “About 25 or 30 shots were, fired, and almost at the outset the place was in complete darkness. Of course there wns a stampede, hut I remember being surprised that I had heard no crash of glass. Half an hour later I went back and found tlie place lit up as brightly as ever. Wells and his cow boys having been taken away by friends. Tho roof was full of holes, but not a single lamp had been hit. What had put them out was the con cussion of tlie shots in n confined space.” — New Orleans Times-Demo- craL An UnsoiiKlit Pardon. Among the stories of that former governor of Texas familiarly known as Sam Houston is more than one amusing tale. There was a financial agent of the penitentiary who had warmly opposed the election of Governor Houston, but was particularly anxious to retain his own pleasantly lucrative position. Con sequently the governor was soon in re ceipt of a petition in which the man’s years of faithful service and special qualifications for the place were set forth in glowing terms by himself. Tho governor sent for him and said gravely, “It appears from this petition that you have been in the penitentiary eight years.” “I have,” was the reply. “And during that time you have per formed faithfully every duty that has come in your way to the bust of your ability'” “I have,” answered the agent, his courage swiftly rising. “Then, sir,” said the governor, with the air of one conferring a priceless favor, “1 pardon you out!”—Youth’s Companion.

I had been sent to look up some one in a suburb of the city. The address was a number on Fourth street, but, to my amaze ment, I found three such streets in the place. The house I sought was not in any of them. Tired nnd almost dis couraged I turned into a cobbler’s shop, and seeing a bearded German bending over a last in the glare of a swinging lamp, I cleared my throat nnd said: “I beg your pardon, but I nm a re porter of The Sun”— “Well, well.” he said soothingly, be fore I could finish the sentence, “you cannot help dot.” .1 could not continue for n full min ute. so struck was I by the unexpected philosophy and wisdom of his reply. I could not help being a reporter, and I knew it.

The annual reunion of Confederate veterans is a thing of the past, and the gray-haired, gray-clad survivors of Southern chivalry had a glorious time iu the hospitable city of Louisville. That Kentucky metropolis gave them a warm-hearted welcome, and turned over the keys of the city to the old veterans —knowing that they could not he in better hands.
