Corporal Tanner Talk.s
There have been several estimates
of Corporal Tanner printed in the
newspapers, hut the World is able to
print this morning an estimate of I'm-
ncr from Tanner himself.
The reporter approached the great
surplus reducer with deference, as he
saw from a distance that Tanner was
a man of vast consequence. The sub
ject was led up to gradually, and final-
the corporal nnbosomed himself as fol
lows :
"In many respects I think I resem-
Caesar. I don’t refer so much to per
sonal appearances as to general char
acter and ability. Caesar was not a
handsome man. Some of his military
campaigns I cannot approve of as a
soldier, hut, on the whole, he did well,
and made but few mistakes. 1 can
sec where I could have done different
ly in his place, hut, taking him all and
all, he was more like me than any
other figure in history. Some of my
friends think that in style of oxecut.cn
and mental character I resemble Na
poleon, hut I can’t say as 1 regard
this as a compliment. Had I been
in command at Waterloo, things would
have been different, I can assure you. ’
Corporal Tanner looked into a
handsome mirror which hung over his
desk, and went on :
“Ip force of character I am much
like the old German emporer, though
the emporer had his weak points,
while I have none. It makes me sick
to hear people talk about the ability of
Bismark as a statesman. Bisntarkjs a
schoolboy alongside of me. I have
such contempt ior Gladstone as a pub
lic man, that I doubt that I could
bring myself to speak to him were he
to crawl into this office this minute.”
The corporal ducked his head to his
own image in the glass and continued .
"I don’t mind telling you, but not
for publication, ot course, that Ilarri-

An Unwise Resolution.
A resolution was adopted by the
recent State Alliance convention, not
to sell cotton for loss than twelve and
one-half cents per pound. This ap
plies to the present crop. The reso
lution is neither wise nor practical.
It is right that the farmers should
get the highest price possible for cot
ton, yet it is invading the individual’s
rights to say that he shall not take less
than a certain price lor what is clearly
his own property.
Such resolutions arc sure to be bro
ken, because they arc in conflict with a
A few years ago a delegation from
Ohio, with John Sherman at their
head, marched through Georgia. In
this year of our Lord, a delegation
lront Georgia is marching through
Ohio. But they are bearing emblems
of peace, not of war. This is as it
should be.
Everyone w ill regret to learn ol the
serious mishap to Dr. I!. II. Tucker.
He would he a great lo.-s to the
church, the State, and the people o!

It is announced that Miss Marcliand,

To Arms!
The dreadful drum heat and blare

from the Volga to the Seine. All
Europe appears to he arming. The
hostile attitude of Russia toward Ger
many, the strained relations between
France and Germany, the trouble in
Crete, all combined, give little hope of
continued peace. It appears to be a
difficult thing for European nations to
get along without sonic blood letting
occasionally. Bleeding of nations, as
well as of patients by the doctors, has
long since been condemned.

in regard to property rights. A reso
lution and a request are widely differ
ent in meaning. The one is intended
to be mandatory and the other is not.
Had the convention confined itself to
a request that no'cotton of the present
crop be sold for less lhan twelve and
one-half cents, it would have kept
clearly within the bounds ot its author

Tucker, cditoi of the Christian Index,

home on Capital avenne’ at 2 o’clock
this morning, and it is' feared that he
cannot survive his injuries. He had
been very restless, passing a wakeful
night, and about 2 o’clock, left his

Ni:vv Yiikk, Sept. 7.—John L.

Washington, Sept. 7.—The
weather crop bulletin of the Bignnl
service for the past week contains the
following information. The week
ending Sept. 7 was slightly cooler
than usual in the sotithern states.
There has been an excess of rain
fall from the laid regions southward
to the gulf coast. Heavy rains ex
tended over Georgia, Northern Flori
da, and the western portions of the
Carolina*. The week continued dry
along the Atlantic coasts and only
light showers occurred at the close of
the week over the "Middle Atlantic
states.
T1IK COTTON C'ROr.
I11 the West Gulf states, including
Texas, Arkansas and Lottisana, the
weather was generally favorable for
cotton, except in some localities,
where rain retarded picking. The
general effect of the weather for the
week in this section was to leave the
growing crops in an improved condi
tion.
The cotton crop was damaged
slightly in Tennessee, but the condi
tion of the soil has been improved,
and the outlook is better.
The damage to the crop from worms
in Arkansas is not as great as was
anticipated, hut considerable damage
has resulted to the crop from this
source in Mississippi. In the Caro
linas the weather was favorable, cot-
loti jfeking is in progress, and there
is a prospect of a fair average crop.
A Balloon Bears off a Body.
l’OKTt.ANi), Ore., Sept. 8.—Avery
exciting and thrilling incident occurred
here this evening, l’rof. I’. II. Red
mond, an aeronaut, was to make an
ascension here this evening, in a hot
air balloon. Just as the large air ship
sailed away skyward, a lad about 12
years old, named Eddie Hill, became
entangled in the ropes attached to the
trapeze. His neck was caught in a
halt noose and the boy could not ex
tract himself, lie clung desperately
to the ropes with both hands, and by
winding them around both arms man
aged to save himself from falling
and from choking to death. The bal
loon rose over 1,000 feet and drifted
several miles away to the southeast,
finally coming down as light as a feath
er and landing the lad without a
scratch.

No Fight Yet.
The principals, Messrs. Huff and #
Patterson, failed to get together in
Alabama, though-both no doubt tried
to do so. Mr. Huff has returned to
Macon, and Mr. Patterson will turn
up in Atlanta. A dispatch from Co
lumlnis, referring to Mr. Huff, says:
Before ho departed, however, he
denounced Mr. Patterson as a scoun
drel and a coward for failing to show
up. lie said he would compel the
man to come to the scratch. “He
will stand before ntc nr he will retract
what he said,” were his last words be
fore leaving.
Both are fighting men, and the
chances are—unless an amicable ad
justment is brought about by friends
—that they will yet meet and fight it
out.
