Anniston, Ala., had a $50,000
fire last Saturday morning.
Gainesville received her first bale
of cotton last week. It brought
ten cents.
Atlanta is still in the lead. A
blockade distillery ha9 been captur¬
ed and destroyed at Grant Park.
Teddy Roosevelt is galloping all
over the country making political
speeches and trying to feather his
nest for 1904.
Aunt Carrie Nation, of barroom
smashing fame, is anxious to visit
Atlanta during the fair and deliver
one of her smashing lectures.
Russell Sage declares that J. P.
Morgan can end the coal strike in
an hours’ time. But Uncle J. P.
doesn’t seem to be in any hurry.
Atlanta is going to have another
“Horse show” soon at which her
“fashionable swell set” will have
a chance to do some “respectable”
gambling.
Secretary Cortelyou says that
President Roosevelt has extended

Next we hear of him he will be

The coal strike must be settled at
once or there will likely be trouble.
Mayor Mims, Atlanta’s dude
mayor, has telegraphed the New
York Journal that it should be
ended, and of course the coal barons
will heed him.
Is it not a fact that a great many
bright boys and girls actually learn
to quit work, to refuse to help
about the house or the farm, at
some of the schools to which they
have been sent ? What does it pro¬
fit a boy or girl to be thus taught
to shoot at the sky and go in the
hole'' asks the Galveston News.
Janesville, Wis., contributes the
latest thing in injunctions, A
court has enjoined Thomas Beckel
from associating with the wife of
John E. Gallup, upon Mr. Gallup’s
application. Mrs. Gallup will have
something to say about the right of
the judiciary to edit her visiting
list, or she isn’t a woman.—New
York Journal.
• Rev. Sam Small,one of the brain¬
iest men Georgia ever produced,
has been making local option
speeches in Vermont. He was,
billed to speak at Brattleboro, Vt.
Monday night* but collapsed after
being introduced and starting to
talk. Afterwards Small is report¬
ed to have said; *‘I was drunk. I
have no excuse to offer.” A thou*
sand pities that it should be true.
It is all right for parents to strive
to make their sons and daughters
leaders of men and women, and
to push them in their education
just as far as they will go. It is
all right for boys and girls to be
ambitious and hopeful, and to look
aloft in their yearning to be of
special U6e to the world. Is it not
all right to tancy that the oppor¬
tunity to accomplish such things
lies along only a few of the old
lines, within the narrow scope of a
tew worn-out and overcrowded
professions?
Pulpit Bushwhacking.
At a camp-meeting near Law-
renceville the other day one of the
preachers took occasion to asperse
from the pulpit the characters of
certain ladies, and as a result of his
words sustined an ignominious slap¬
ping at the hands of the son and
brother of the ladies in question.
It has beer, the wont of a par¬
ticular class of ministers for no in¬
considerable time to personally
criticise and assail from their pul¬
pits those whose behavior or de¬
portment did not please them.
To these preachers the practice
apparently appeals as brave and
forceful Seemingly they think
they find warrant for such lashings
in the driving out of the money
changers and seemingly they think
that in delivering such lashings they
display courage.
That they are powerfully shelter¬
ed from retaliation for such attacks
and that by that token such at¬
tacks are not only not brave, but
exceedingly craven, seems never to
occur to them.
Safety ensconced in a pulpit,
they draw their bows in the name
of religion and send their shafts
wherever they think duty dictates,
careless of the fact that the innocent
have no recourse when struck and
wounded, and oblivious of the fact
that such fighting, no matter how
worthy its cause, disgusts humani¬
ty’s innate love of fair play and
prejudices humanity against a
banner whose soldiers are guilty of
it.
Several incidents similar to the
Lawrenceville affair have occurred
recently, and they mean, if they
mean anything, that sentiment
against pulpit bushwhacking is
beginning to crystallize into action
calculated to suppress it.
The whole point lies in the fact
these preachers fail to recognize
the vital difference in the attitude
of religion toward wrong-doers
and wrong-doing. If the more in-
teligent ministers would take it up¬
on themselves to explain to their
less acute brethren that for the one
there should be all charity and that
for the other all the savagery should
be reserved, the cause would enjoy
an immense advance and such re¬
grettable incidents as the Law¬
renceville affair would cease to
occur.
Or, if it be impossible to make
the difference in question clear to
the confused ones, then they might
be referred to a certain authority,
who, dealing with the very ques¬
tion, suggests that preachers go
quitely to whoever offends and pri¬
vately talk it over.—Atlanta News.
The American Beauty.
Talk about the magnificence of
the American Beauty rose, the
shirtwaist of the summer girl, or
any of the paraphernelia thereto
belonging, what compares with the
American Beauty herself? Nothing
under the sun holds her a light.
Her lips put to shame the most
luscious “Elberta,” the color of the
rose is nothing compared to her
cheeks, her profile puts to shame
all the Greek goddesses ever chisel¬
ed out by the world’s greatest ar¬
tists, while her voice is music of
which was never equaled. She is
in town—ahe can be seen almost
daily any pretty afternoon.
The shirt waist is not in it.

General Wheeler s Farewell Ad
dress.
“Headquarters Calvary Corps,
April 23,1865.—Gallant Comrades :
You hare fought your battles;
your task is done. During s fonr-
year’s struggle for liberty you have
exhibited courage, fortitude a de¬
votion ; you are the sole victors of
more than 200 severely contested
fields; you have participated in
more than a thousand successful
conflicts of arms; you are heroes,
veterans, patriots; the bones of
your comrades mark battlefields
upon the soil of Kentucky,Tennes¬
see, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Missippi; you have done all
that human exertion can accom-
plish. In bidding you adieu I de¬
sire to tender my thanks for your
gallantry in battle, your fortitude
under suffering and your devotion
at all times to the holy cause you
have done so much to maintain. I
desire also to express my gratitude
for the kind feeling you have seen
fit to extend toward myself, and to
invoke upon you the blessings of
our Heavenly Father, to whom
we must always look for support
in the hour of distress. Brothers
in the cause of freedom, comrades
in arms, I bid you farewell.
J. Wheeler.”
Telling The Truth.
It is said that an editor recently
announced that for just one issue
he would tell the truth, the whole
truth, naked and unvarnished.
Here is one item from that issue:
“Married—Miss Sylvia Smith to
Mr. James Carnahan, last Saturday,
at the Baptist parsonage. The
bride is a very ordinary girl about
town who doesn’t known any more
than a rabbit about cooking, and
never helped her poor old mother
three days in her life. She is not
a beauty, by a long shot, and has a
gait-like a fat duck. The groom is
known as an up to date loafer and
has been living off his mother all
his life, and don’t amount to any¬
thing nohow. They will have a
tough time of it, and we withhold
congratulations, for we don’t be¬
lieve any good can come from such
a mariiage.”
A “Cow-ardly Act.”
Cows have no sense of the dra¬
matic. Three of them ate dyna¬
mite near Martir.sburg, Va., and
laid down in a pasture and
died peacefully, instead of explod¬
ing as they should have done.—
Philadelphia Bulletin.
As the explosion might have in¬
jured innocent people, wouldn’t
that have been a cowardly thing to
do?—Augusta Chronicle.
The bar-keepers in Detroit,Mich,
want to contribute to the fund for
entertaining the Christian Endea¬
vors when they meet in that city,
claiming that they “will get their
share of the patronage” from the
visitors. Perhaps they will, but it
is hoped not. But we once knew
a ruling elder in a church about 30
miles from Atlanta (now presided
over by a former Toccoa Pastor)
who was sent to Atlanta to attend
a temperance convention,got drunk
as soon as he got off the train, al¬
most, and spent the night in the
lockup. Another Elder of the same
church was telegraphed for and
went down to the city and secured
his release. So. if ‘‘temperance”
people are all like him, the bar¬
keepers are right.
Personally we would be pleased
to see our old-time union printer
friend, J. G. Woodward, elected
mayor of Atlanta, He is head and
shoulders above E. P. Ho well, who
is also in the race There are one
or two others mentioned but Wood¬
ward and Howell are in the lead.
Wonder what Rev. Len Broughton
and Sam Jones would think if Jim
Woodward should capture the prize
again?
