Atlanta, Ga., March 13.—To-morrow
there will appear a correspondence be
tween Got. McDaniel and Gen. Lawton,
of Sarannah, in which the former de
clines to enter the Gubernatorial race,
although Gen. Lawton expresses not the
slightest doubt as to his eligibility. Got.
McDaniel’s letter is a most patriotic
document, and it will make him the
strongest man in the state. He had a
fine chance of securing the nomination,
but rather than create any distention in
his party or embarrass his friends, he
withdraws.
It is conceded here that this step by
the Gorernor is equivalent to the nomi

From Washington Letter in N. O. Picayune.
Mrs. James Brown Potter, well-known
in the first circles of New York society,
left Washington with s decidedly bitter
taste in her mouth. The beautiful wo
man has felt her first crumpled rose-
leaf and furnished society with some
thing absolutely novel in the way ofa
sensation during her stay here with
M rs. Whitney, wife of the Secretary of the
Navy, whose guest Mrs. Potter was, and
who gave a musicale for the benefit of the
training school for servants. The tickets
were three dollars. The musicale be
gan at ‘d o’clock at night in Mrs. Whit
ney’s hall-room, and the guests were all
in full undress. After some music the
famous and fair amateur arose and took
her stand on the raised dias of the oriel
window and recited Geo. R. Sims’ “’Ost
ler Joe.’’ George R. Sims wrote “Lights
o' Lonfton” and other plays, aud wrote
such poems as “Billy’s Rose.” He does
work for the London press, particularly
such papers as the London Referee, un
der the name of **l>agonet." “’Ostler
•Joe" is the story of a village beauty, who
ran away from her husband anil became
the Cora Pearl of London, finally dying
an outcast wretch, but found on her
death-lied by her faithful Joe, forgiven
and dying in his arms.
The speaker began in the dead silence
of rapturous admiration, but before
had spoken twenty words, a terrific
change came over the assembly. The
men hung their heads, buttoned and un
buttoned their gloves, and looked sheep
ish; the matrons swelled up like mad
turkey-cocks; the half-naked young wo
men put their fans before their eyes and
peeped through the sticks to see if tho
other women noticed how modest they
were. The poem, published several
months ago in the Picayune,is as follows:
OSTLER JOE.

mole or the peem I could not lesrn. The
render finished. There wss an absolute
dead silence. Then a feeble applause
from some few of the men—and relief
came in a burst of music—while the
outraged dowagers talked together with
the gentlemen over the dreadful occur
rence. It was said that Mrs. Potter
wss so hurt and so surprised that she
almost gave up playing at the public
matinee in the “Russian Honeymoon,”
and it ia certain that her rather chill re
ception on that day waa due to “’Ostler
Joe,” which Btuck in the moral craw of
society. A truckling Washington editor
reminds Mrs. Potter that what is moral
for New York may be very immoral for
Washington, and warns her not to do it
again. As an actress in the “Russian
Honeymoon,” a play for amateurs, by
Mrs. Burton Harrison—dior all the world
like ‘-An Unequal Match,” and others—
Mrs. Potter forcibly and continuously re
minds one of Mrs. Langtry, with just
about the same merits as a professional.
WHAT WITT
It is as high as all the stairs,
No well was ever dug so low;
It is in age five thousand years,
It wss not made an hour ago.'
It is as wet as water is;
No red-hot iron e’er was drier.
As dark aa night, aa cold as ice,
Shines like the sun and burns like fire.
No soul, no body to consume;
No fox more cunning, dunce more dull;
'Tis not on earth, 'tis in this room,
Hard as atone, and soft as wool;
'Tis of no color, but of snow.
Outside and inside black as ink;
All red, all green, all yellow, blue;
This moment you upon it think;
In every noise it strikes your ear;
’Twill soon expire, it will ne’er decay;
It always in the light appears;
And yet ’twas never seen by day;
Than the whole earth it larger is.
Than a small pin’s point it is less;
I'll tell you ten times whst it is.
And after all you shall not guess.
’Tis in your your mouth, twas nearer
nigh;
Where'er you look you sec it still;
'Twill make you laugh, twill make you
cry;
You feel it plain, touch whst you will.

A WISE DECISION.
Tho Knights of Labor Forbidden to Enter
Polities. x . ’
Philadelphia, Pa., March 9.—Master
Workman Powderly, upon being shown
a statement published this morning that
the Knights of Labor of Illinois had
formed a political party, under the aus
pices of the order, declared it untrue, and
said that if such a thing is attempted by
any district or local or state assembly of
the Knights of Labor, the charter of the
body taking such action will be recalled.
The order cannot be turned into a politi
cal party. While reform in politics is
sought for, it must not come at the ex
panse of the order. No district, local or
state assembly, of the Knights of Labor,
has in it power to declare itself a politi-*
cal machine for any purpose.
ENSILAGE.
The word ensilage is composed of three
words, en silo ago, meaning “in pit put”
It is the name of any green fodder pack
ed in a pit, or in any enclosure above the
ground, for preservation either in a sweet,
or, as usual, sour condition, which is bet
ter liked by cattle and the more health
ful for them. On a small scale and in va
rious ways it has been produced for hun
dreds of years, but Gofiart of France on
ly a few years ago constructed pits on a
large scale, and by cutting southern com
fodder into small pieces not more than
an inch long, and packing it closely, de
monstrated that two or four cows can be
kept the year round upon the proceeds of
one acre of corn lands!

A PAIR OF COMETS.
Two cemets are bowling along to

They have already been within the
range of the astronomers' telescopes for
over three months, and within another
month or six weeks it is probable that
they will burst upon the view of the

comets will come very near the sun.
They are now seen by the astronomers

a negro called Henry Gregory,
boy about the same age. The negro
boy was flying a kite on New Hous
ton street near Masters’ re.ideitce
Young Masters was on the stoop
looking at him; the negro accused
Joseph of wanting the kite, and he
replied that he could get a better
kite than it if he wanted one. He
then cursed young Masters, who
could not repeat his language. The
negro then picked up a piece of
brick and threw at Joseph, hitting
him on the head, a little back of the
ear. Mrs. Masters, on hearing the
dispute, ran out and gathered her
boy in her arms. He cried “Oh,
mamma!” and died within ten min-
utes after being carried in the
house. The negro boy ran down
Montgomery street, chased by a
gentleman in a buggy, and escaped
by running into a side gate. The
inquest was held the next day and
the verdict voluntary and unani
mous was rendered against
the negro boy, who was
not arrested, having been shel
tered out of the city the night be
fore by parents. Gregory’s people
came here Irom Macon, and it was
thought he returned to that city to
bis grandmother, but he could not

changed his name to Charles alter

A negro boy named Charles was
lynched fttst night at Hardeeville,

dering Mrs. Gideon Sauls. It is
supposed tnat he came from Macon
originally. He confessed to killing
a white boy in Savannah with a
brick two years ago.

A Sad Accident In Ocone* County.
The saddest accident happened in
Oconee county \Vednesday that we have
ever chronicled. It carries grief to tho
heart of every mother in our county.
Mr. Tom House is the’father ofa bright
baby only 10 months old. The mother
and father worshipped the child, and in
it their fondest hopes were centred. Tho
father was absent from home, and the
mother,after rocking the baby to sleep
by a lullaby, put it in the little crib. The
fond mother, after seeing that her Babe
waa quietly sleeping, went out to attend
to her household duties and stayed leme
time, thinking that her little one waa
aaleep in the crib. When she returned
she found that the child bad awakened
in her absence and tried to erawl through
a place in the crib where one of the slats
had been broken out and hnng itself,
and was cold in death. Mr. Home is m
quiet farmer in Oconee county, and the
death of his child is very sad. Tho
father of Mr. Hct^ise was a Lieutenant in
Capt. Deloney’a cavalry company daring
the war, and was the bravest of tho
brave. He said he would never snrren
der, and in one of the cavalry fights in
Virginia hit horse ran away with Un
and carried him into the ranks of the
Yankees. He was ordered to surretsdetr,
and he told the Yankees that he would
die first, when he was riddled with bul -
lets. The Banner-Watchman sympa
thizes with the ion of such a noble sire ,
in the sad death of his little son.
JACKSON GOES TO THE PENITENTIAB Y.
Atlanta, March 9.—The supreme
court to-day affirmed the decision of the
court below in convicting George T. J ack-
son, of Augusta, on the charge of embez
zling one hundred and seventeen thou
sand dollars of the funds of the Enter
prise cotton factory, of which he was
president Jackson, who is an old] nan,
will go to the penitentiary for six yt tars.
TO SUE A COUNTY.
It is rumored that DeKalb county is to
be sued for $35,000 damages, on account
of the breaking up of the large distillery
of Cox & Hill, at Stone Mountain, by the
adopt’on of prohibition. The suit will be
brought under a recent decision of a Uni
ted States district court, that property
destroyed under such circumstances
must be paid for.
BANKS COUNTY.
The stock law question is now before
the people in David’s and Bushville
districts, in Banks county. These two
districts lie adjoining that portion of
Jackson county that has lately adopted
the stock law, and they will be forced to
either adopt the plan or keep their stock
from tresspassing on their more progres
dive neighbors. The stock law must in
evitably come.
COLORED PAVER.
We have received the first issue of the
Middle Georgia Chronicle, published at
Eatonton by F. G. Branham and G. W.
Fears, both colored preachers. It is a
family religious newspaper, free from
politics and is an advocate of prohibition.
It is neatly printed and very creditably
edited.
ANOTHER RAILROAD.
In the event that the Macon & Coving
ton road comes to Athens, we see that a
movement is on foot to build a branch
from Eatonton to tap it This will not do
Athens any good, as Macon will be so
much nearer that its trade will naturally
go there. Let us build the Georgia
Midland.

in the last foar years is amazing. When

A Respectable Married Woman Mysterious
ly Disappears-
Greeneville, S. (J., News: The
people of Grove townslvp, 10 miles
balow this city are much disturbed
anti excited by the sudden and mys
terious disappearance of Mrs. Wil
liam Davis, who lived with her hus
band and children near the Augus
ta road. Mr. Davis says his wife
went to bed as usual on Snnday
night in the room with her chil
dren while he slept in another
room During the night he was
waked by the Stirling of the chil
dren' and went into them and found
his wife gone. He looked for her
around the place but could not find
her, and gave notice of her disap
pearar.ee in the morning. Since
then a large number of men have
been searching in every direction
without finding a trace of the misx-
ng woman. She has disappeared
as it the eartli had swallowed her.
No reason for her leaving home is
known, as she and her husband
lived peaceably and quietly togeth
er, and she had no troubles that
could have induced her to take such
desperate measures.
ras were confined in the common
jail for malefactors and were mo

In speaking of ex-President Soto
he said that it was natural that he

in his opinion, an outbreak might
be looked for at any moment.

ston for a cargo of “empty barrels
for ballast.” It is learned that the
Atlas steamei Andes, flying the
Spanish flag, carried a large quan-
tity of arms and ammunition to

of this, cabled his agent in Kingston

WAGES OF HANDS.
A prominent farmer from a lower coun
ty tells us that in his neighborhood you
can't get a good hand at less than $100
year and board, and some men are pay
ing (120. Our informant says that un
scrupulous planters, who swindle the
negro out of all his wages, it matters not
what they pay him, put up the price,
and farmers who deal honestly by their
hands must meet it, or get no labor. To
come out even and pay a hand $100 and
board a farmer must make six and a half
bales of cotton, and this allows nothing,
either, for his own services and land rent.

A Prohibition Dodge.
Some persons on the edge of
Nicholas county, W. Va., have re
sorted to quite a novel way of avoid
ing the liquor license in Fayette
county. It consists in a wire stretch
ed across the river, with a reel at
each end, by means of which a small
box or basket attached to the wire
can be drawn from either side of the
river. Now a party on the Fayette
side can place his money in the re
ceptacle furnished for the purpose,
audit will be promptly drawn to the
other side, the money taken out and
the whisky put in its place, which,
in turn, be drawn to the other side
by the thirsty customer.

Kansas Sportsmen Hava a Hu» Picnic
With a Pack of Prairie Wolves.
Lawrence, Kan., March S.—A
day or two since a tarmer, living in
the southern part of this county,
came into the city with the report
that he had discovered a cave on
nis farm that was inhabited by
prairie wolves, and from what he
could find out, they amounted to
about 300. He had killed a tew,
but they would not come out, and
he was afraid to enter the cave.
Preparations wore at once made to
raid the den.
A large party arrived at the place
yesterday morning, and turning the
dogs loose, one or two of them
rushed into the cave, and were at
once torn to pieces. A force of
men then commenced operations,
and in a short time had a hole into
the cave back ot the wolves. Two
men entered and all the dogs that
could be found, and then advanced
on tlie rear of the mass of animals,
who had by this time assembled in
the front part of the cave.
The dogs became frightened and
beat a retreat, and the men, after
firing a few shots,also got out. Alter
an all-day’s skirmish,the hunters de
cided to make a dash and drive out
their prey and kill as many as pos
sible. All drew back out of sight
from the front, and two men again
entered in the rear. This time they
succeeded in causing a stampede,
and in a short time the cave was
empty. The shooters did some good
work, and by the time they were
through about 100 wolves strewed
the ground. The others escaped,
and the party returned minus four
dogs, but covered with glory. A
grand hunt is proposed. It is sup
posed that the animals wintered in
the cave.

Santa Clans In New shape.
In a recent trial of parties in
Barnesvilie S. C.,for selling whisky
in a dry town,it was developed that
a substitute for the Georgia “blind
tige” is an institutio- known as
“Santa Claus.” The following des
cription was iurnished the News
and Courier of Charleston: First,
a Clorset four times the usual size
is made in the corner of a large
room. In the wall of this closet an
apenditure is cut sufficient to receive
a draw tweive inches in width and
six inches in depth. A drawer is
thus made to slide back and forth
in this apartment, and is fastened
so that it cannot be pullea entirely
out on either side, and is always
opened on the out side for the use
of patrons. The drawer is what ii
called the Santa Claus. The pat
ron upon earning into the room sees
no one. He puts the money into
Santa Claus and tells him what he
wants, immediately he slides into
the closed apartment, and soon re
turns with the whisky or beer or
whatever was ordered,with the pro
per change, if any is to be made.
You cant see who operates this
drawer or who sells you the whis
ky. '

HON. W. L. PEEK.
For Senator from the Twenty-seventh Sen.
atorl&l District.
[Conyers Solid South.)
By common consent the time has
come lor Rockdale county to furnish
the next state Senator. The other
counties composing the district ex
pect us to present our best man.
Among so many able and ercellent
men whom shall we choose? There
must be no wrangle. Let us unite
upon some good man that will be
likely to give general satisfaction,
lest in presenting a broken front,
our righteous claims shall be for
feited.
By several of our sister counties
we have been notified that if we put
forvvatd a man unacceptable to
them, he will be rejected. This
point then must be guarded. To
blunder here would fall little short
of criminality.
Now, after casting round and can
vassing the claims of our leading
men, the name of the Hon. W. L.
Peek stands out conspicuously
prominent. At this particular junc
ture he seems clearly to be the man
around whom we should rally. His
eligibility will not be questioned.
From past service he is just now
ripe for the exalted dignity. We
risk nothing in saying that few men
within the limits of out territory
are so popular in the adjoining
counties. His name would there
fore be hailed with delight by the
delegates in the nominating conven
tion.
In centering on Peek at home,
then, bevond even a shadow of a
doubt, Rockdale will -secure the
honor of furnishing our next State
Senator.
In the next place, whiie the name
of Col. Peek is a tower of strength
abroad, no one has higher claims
upon the love and confidence of his
people at home. With unwearied
diligence and unconquerable energy
he has labored for the material, men
tal, moral and religious prosperity
of our people.
With sleepless activity he has
guarded every interest committed to
his care, ever true to; duty as the
needle to the pole. As a statesman
in these days of political degenera
cy he is a rare phenomenon in the
land,'for of him in truth it can be
said, “he is an Israelite indeed in
whom is no guile.” And then again
his high standing and popularity as
a Legislator in former General As
8emblies will secure him recognition
and position at once in the upper
House. Being chairman of the
large and intelligent committee on
Agriculture, he occupied a promin
ent position, and wore the third
honor attaching to committees in the
House of Representatives. With
such marked ability did he conduct
the business of his committee, and
with such suavity of manner didjtie
deport himself towards his co-legis
lators, that he won the esteem and
hearts of all. Such was his in
fluence that it became a common
saying, “ Peek can carry any meas
ure he proposes.” He wields a
powef equally potent in the Slate
Agricultural Conventions, as every
man knows who has attended thei-
assemblies. From the manifest
trend of feeling and expression he
will be the next president of the
State Agricultural Society. Few
men have received higher or more
well merited complimenta from the
press of the State.
In conclusion CoL Peek possesses
the rare accomplishments of being
well versed in the principles and
practice of Parliamentary Law.
During his last term of service in
the Legislature, he frequently pre
sided with signal rbility over the
House af Representatives.
Should he be nominated by the
people of Rockdale, it is almost mor
ally certain that he will be the pres
ident of the next senate. It should
not be forgotten that the Colonel is
a self-made man. So far from hav
ing his brow decked with the bay
of the Universities, he nevei so
much as received the polish of the
in'ermediate schools, yet, by the
dint of native talent and unwearied
application, he hat both, qualified
himself for the best,.society of the
land and to fill with efficiency and
digpfty th* fitot positionfl ip the gifts
fiuence, popularityaWdwOrth' should
