Not to the Dollar Yardstick. The Augusta Chronicle, says i “Mr. Norwood ridicules Gen. Gor don for his financial failures. Some good men have not been prosperous or rich, Mr. Norwood. Daniel Web- ster and Rufus Choate were bankrupts, but the people trusted them all the same. Georgia doesn’t measure statesmen by the yardstick of dollars and cents, Mr. Norwood. Senator Car'isle is a poor man. There are enough rich men now in the United States Senate. Georgia can afford to put another poor man by the side of of Mr. Carlisle.’’ No, Georgia democrats are not using the dollar yardstick this year. Thomas Jefferson, the Father of Dem ocracy, the author of Independence, was| very improvident. He lived and died in debt. The government paid a large price for his library, the proceeds of which went to pay his debts. Henry Clay, the “Mill Boy of the Slashes,” ranking with Calhoun and Webster as a statesman, was a conspicuous financial failure; and yet he was, pre-eminently, the idol of his state, Kentucky, and, in fact, of the whole country. No^ no, John 15. Gordon will never be condemned by the people of Georgia, because he has not, like some others accumulated great wealth. Being a financial fail ure is not a crime. John 15. Gordon, while he has never bee 1 a great mon ey makers has always been true to his people; (rue to them in pea:e and war. Mr. Norwood will not make any capital bv his charges.

The proprietors and book keeper ol the hotel stood behind him and thought of the combination. Without touching citiicr of them Johnston turned correctly to tho numbers aud swung the door open. Johuston says this proves that man has more- than five senses. V; " ; . v ; Your Choice -OF- She Denied Being White.
