A WISE VIEW.
A recent editorial in the New York
American takes a wise and calm view of
tlie Statesboro fio-Tor. The know-it
alls of the northern ^press have seized
upon the outrage as a text' for most
bitter denunciation, much of this de-
served. Oars is (lie blame and oars
mast be the sluiuie, bat to be condemned
from A to Z by self appointed judges
who knownothing of the matter is going
tn far. Tlie American says:
Tlie problem of the South is a vory
great one, and the Northern attitude
should be one ot suspended judgment
andsympathetic co-oporation.
Thera is no power that will hold hack
oertaln provocation, and harsh criticism
will hold it back least of all.
How did our Revolutionary ancestors,

WHAT THEY’LL FIND.-
When tiie pooplo of tfiecouuiy gather
at the big ptcuic on September 2nd, they
will flud a busy growing city ready to
welcome them witli open arms. Daring
the last flvo years the progress of tliu
town and comity bus been remarkable.
There has beeu jio wind, no boom, but a
steady advance, most gratifying to tlie
citizens. Tdday business is better than
it was tills time last year, and. hut year
it was better than the year before.
Some ascribe one reason and some
another for this progress. We are Hot
going to enter iuto tho why or where
fore, but simply to state the fact If
busy stores, comfortable homes, well
filled business houses, new and growing
industries, and a happy population
mean prosperity then Thomasrilte has

Judge Robert G. Mitchell of the
Soatlieru Circuit of the Superior court
informed a fames Euterpriso reporter
yeateriay morning that ho had
ceased to uso railroad passes aa soon
the Governor signed the bill retorting
to the matter. The recent legislature
passed a bill iairing the salary of Supe
rior court judges $1000 a year, aud pro
hibiting them from using railroad pass
es, telephone franks and like favors.
There was considerable discussion as to
whether tho pass clause applied to those
jndgeswho would not receive an iu-
creased salary for several years, until
thediiteof increase.
No officer's stipend can be increased
while he is tn office. Judge Mitch
ell’s successor who takes office in Jan
uary 190? will receive this extra $1000.
Tlie law worka a hardship on the Judge
bnt be says he never had any doubt of
its correct interpretation. Of course he
will be own snensssoa and this will make
np in a measure for his present loss.

The Scheme Senator Lsasr Worked
to Prevent an Bneennter.
During the course of a heated debate
ince in the* bouse of representatives
ijiorp words were exchanged between
a congressman from New York and one
from Mississippi. A challenge was de
livered and accepted, and as both were
courageous aud determined a bloody
meeting seemed imminent Friends In
terposed, but in vain. Both men were
resolute, and neither would yield to the
suggestion of an amicable arrange
ment. 'As a last resort Senator Lamar
was called in to save the situation. Ha
realized that no ordinary methods
would serve his purpose, and so re
sorted to strategy. The principals In
the proposed duel are still living; so I
will call the New' Yorker Jones and the
Misslssippian Smith.
Senator Lamar called on' the New
Yorker, and after the usual civilities
bad been exchanged he salU:
‘Jones, I've come here to do yon n
friendly turn. I know that you and
Smith arc determined to fight and that
nothing will stop you. I have not come
ns a mediator, 1 but simply to mitigate,
if possible, the horrors of a fatal end,
lto far as yon are concerned. As to
Smith; 1 have no fears. . He is a deud
shot and can take care of himself, bnt
he is not an unfeeling man, and is In
clined to respect any partiality' you
may have In favor of any particular
part of your anatomy. Some men en
tertain u mortal dread of being dis
figured after death, cud If the choice
Were left them wonld prefer not to in*
wounded In the eye or mouth or cheek
bone. Now, if there la. any particular
spot. that you would like to have
Smith’s bullet enter be lias commis
sioned me to say that your wishes will
be respected.”
This extraordinary proposition stag
gered the New Yorker. Even his un
doubted eoupige did not stand so se
vere a test, uud he puled visibly. After-
bo recovered his composure be replied
that he would confer witli his second,
and Mr. Lamar, after an impressive
farewell, took his leave.
The tip way given t6 friends ot the
principals and new negotiations en
tered upon. The duel did not come off.
