MAX JOSEPH.
HOKE SMITH
IS MENTIONED FOR A CABINET
POSITION.
THE MACON TELEGR\PH
Has a Strong Editorial on This Subject
—Mr. Smith’s Work for Cleveland
Should be Appreciated.
Like The Third Party —Au old
farmer in Atlanta yesterday was car
rying around an old buggy umbrella
While it was raining, and the rain
poured through a rent near every rib of
the umbrella. From each rib hung
down a tag upon which was written :
“This represents the Third party, leaky
at every point.” It was a pretty go
illustration.
Torch Lioht In Day Time.—Mr.
Pink Price, of Oconee, has eclipsed all
on a torch light procession. He beard
the news of Cleveland’s election and
.hitched up eight horses to a large
wrgon, filled it full of lightwood and
negroes and went down through Wat-
kinsville at 12 o’clock in the daytime,
eagh negro carrying a torch light. This
takes the priz j in the way of torch light
procession.
Mr. Cleveland’s triumphant election
vindicates the wisdom, courage and in
corruptibility of American manhood.
The miserable subterfuges employed
by Republican politicians to frighten
timid or extra conservative voters has
at last turned like the apples of Sodom
to ashes and the cry of “rebel briga
diers” and “bloody shirt” is not likely
to appear again in American politics.
The vote of the solid South has been re
inforced by sufficient Northern ballots
to encourage increased patriotic hopes
and strengthen nati* nal loyalty every
where. In tbis hour of our rejoicing
we cannot but feel that the rugged
good seense of Mr. Cleveland will draw
tighter the bonds of affection of our
Southern people by imposing a govern
mental responsibility upon them. This
can be best done by selection from among
us as bis advisers as much of our best
talent as his sense cf the circumstances
and the duty of the hour justifies. It
was here in Georgia where Third party-
ism met it^death blow and the rebuke
then given stimulated Democratic ef
fort and increased Demo
cratic courage until at last
Republicanism and its progeny went
down together. Georgia has an affec
tion for the National Government and
would be proud to offer hei talent and
manhood ro share the lesponsibilities or
bu-dens of national affairs. While we
have many who are just as loyal in
spirir, as energetic in effort and as de-
servi g in every way, still should Mr.
Cleveland come to Georgia for a mem
ber of his cabinet it would be but
natural that he should select from those
w lose prediction had been at all times
favorable, and loyal to his leadership.
With so much good material to select
from the difficulty would not be in
finding a representative that would
s .tisfy the pride and ambition of Geor
gia, but all things considered we can
not but think that Mr. Hoke Smith, cf
Atlanta, combines the elements of
ability coupled with congeniality to
Mr. Cleveland as much as any man in
our State. Cextainly Mr. Smith by his
own force of character baa won a place
in the contemporaneous history of
Georgia that commands the respect* of
Ms fellow conntiymen, end all Georgia
would feel that should Mr. Cleveland
honor him with a cabinet portfolio it
would be an acceptable compliment
conferred upon onr whole State.
GO ALONG]
Everythirg will come into its proper
place as we ge along. If Cleveland ia
the lucky man to b9 elected to the
Presidency, go along and keep in your
proper place. If Harrison is the best
man, do the same—go along and keep
in your proper place. In either case •
the city of Athens is bound to have a
city clock if the worid goes along 1 ng
enough and Skiff, the Jeweler goeB long
with it. \
THE NEXT POST MUSTEK.
Already Talking About the ’'robable
Successor of Madison Davie.
The election of Clevrlavd n*3 Ste
venson will bring about < c «ng- in the
post office of this * 'ty,and lrcsdy thore
is talk around th etreec e rrers con
cerning the probiibi. cuci-rssor o' Madi-
son Davis.
Madison Davis went into office as
postmaster of Athens ia the spring ot
1890, and his term of office runs until
1894, unless he is ro moved by the Presi
dent before (hat time.
As to what President Cleveland will
do in the matter cannot be said. He
may allow Davis to serve out his time
or he may remove t im at once upon ac
cession to office in Marob.
It is mere question cf time until the
change is made, and tbe-i some Athens
Democrat will ttep into the < ffic\
Who will it That is the question.
Several names have been .suggested f r
the place, but of course it is too early
to get at any definite id-.ua on the sub
ject as yet.
A large number of young white men
have cast their eyes at the mail car
riers’ position, and clerks’ offices, etc.
It is quite evident that Athens Dem
ocrats are believers in the dootine of
Andrew Jackson, “To the victor be
longs the spoils.”
PAID AT LAST.
A Man Gets Converted and Pays a
Bet After Ten Years.
Ten yean ago, Mr. Allen Talmadge
was staying in IndianapolR He got
into an* argument about some point
with a man and they made a bet of five
dollars on the point in dispute. Mr.
Talmadge proved to b .? wrong and paid
the five dollars. Afterwards they got
to arguing on which was the longest
river in the world, and Mr. Talmadge
found ont that his river was tne longest
and went to the man ft r bis money, but
he refused to pay it. Mr. Talmadge
abused him for taking his money and
refusing to pay when he had honestly
lost it.
Mr. Talmadge moved back to Georgia
and a week or two ago got a letter from
the man asking for bia address as he
had a little matter of business with him.
The address was sent, and yesterday a
letter came enclosing a obeck on New
York for five dollars, and saying that
he had been converted from a R-publi
can to a Democrat, and thought it right
to send him the amount of the bet made
ten years ago.

NEED NOT OBEY.
The Binding Little word Stricken From
the English Marriage Service.
A' a leccnr g<-m r 1 o inference of the
Methodi c Protestant church at West
minster, Eng a id, the word “obey” waa
s rioken out of the marriage sc: vice, says
New Nation.
This certainly is an indication of lib
eral turn of mind, and as such should be
r cognize J; but after all it is an idle
sort of compliment to the women to
strike the word “obey”outof the service,
while the practical necessity of ?uber-
vience on the part of the wife to husband
remains, aa it will rsmainsolo* gas the
eo tnomio dependence ot women upon
men continues.
The husband is very little indebted to
the words of the marriage service for his
h adsbip of the household. Is it because
he feeds and ol .thes bis wife and has
the veto power over all her wishes so
far as they involve the expenditure of a
dime that he is master?
It was a grace!uland saleable thing for
thei English Methodists to strike the
word “obey” out of the marriage ritual,
but nationalism will do more.it will
strike the necessity of obedience out of
the married state, and pat an end to
sexaal servility in or out of matrimony.
It seems to os that however women
oru afford to differ about other things,
t *ey should all agree in being nation
alists and in praying for the coming of
the day when they shall receive the
freedom of the nation.
A Killing in AUbnutA.
Montgomery. Nov. 10 —Francis Ran

prevails aa both are prominerit citizens
and were previously thought to he warm
personal friends.

Another Georgia Shooting Scrape.
Newnan. Nov. 10.—At 4 p. m. while
the election was passing off quietly here,
a negro, who voted the Democratic tick
et was attacked by a crowd of Republi-
' can negrpes, when a few white men
j remonstrated with the party to keep or
der. Insults passed and soon pisto'
shots were heard. When the smoke
cleared it was found that a negro, Pe
ter Hard, waa seriously wounded, an
other negro received a wonnd in the
face, and it is thought that the Hurd
negro was also shot but left.

BIG FARMING.
W. H- Jones Raises Throe Crops on
One f ere.
Let all of our farmers read this and
profit by it Mr. W. H. Jones, living
about fi/e miles from Athens, came into
the city yesterday sell ng very large
turnip?, and on being asked about his
farming operations said:
“1 have raised three crops on one acre
of ground this year. The first crop
was rye, for which I received $15.00. I
' cut the rye down and planti d the same
acre in peas. I out the pea vines and
rtoeived $28.00 f< r this c*op. I then
p’anted the same acre in turnips, and I
would not take f100.00 in < ash for the
turnips and sal’ad that 1 will sell from
tbis same acre. I can also tell you a
true tale that shows goed farming: last
year I bought ten cents worth of turnip
seed i n i sold $25.00 worth of sall&d.”
T is is certainly the be:t farming we
have heard of and shows that Mr. W.
H Joue*, better known at Bill Jones,
is a good one.
FURIOUS STORMS.
Old Neptune Seems to Be Unusually An.
Cry This Season.
* London, Nov. 10.—Vessels arriving
' at Queenstown report that the weather
on the Atlantic continues to be very
stormy. The gales blow with a fury
not often witnessed even at this time of
GENlRiL NEWS.
The properies of H. J. Lamor, J. F.
Hanson, E. B. Waters and the Georgia
Guarantee Company weie not sold at
Macon Tuesday as was advertised, but
$47,007.70 was deposit with the Federal
Court until the appeal to the Circuit
Court can be detrmined. The'.aforenamcd
gentlemen were sureties for McTigbe
& Co , and their property was advertised
for sale to meet the maturing obligations
of said firm.
A serious accident, if not a fatal
wreck, was prevented on the East Ten
nessee railroad at Rome Tuesday morn
ing by the action of a thoughtful negro
man. At the head of Broad street, in
the northern portion of the city, the
East Tennessee road urosses ’an iron
bridge over the Etowah river, and at
the end of the bridge is built a long,
trestle, which extends about k 300 yards
into East Rome. A colored man by the
name of Green Bohannon was crossing
the trestle on his way from East Rome.
When he had arrived at about the middle
of the trestle he discovered that one of
the rails was broken and the crosstie
that was under the rail had either
worked out or had been taken out by
some one, which left the two broken
ends in a disconnected poesition, which
would have derailed a train. The colored
man knew that a train was due in a
short time, and without delay be hur
ried to the North Rome depot and told
the agent, who. once telegraphed to
Almost from the day of starting the
weather was terrible and the steamer
made way only with the greateet diffi
culty. At times it seemed as if the
(Teat avalanches of water would crush
the vessel beneath tne sea and vast
waves swept with terrible force from
anesrde of the deck to the other.
_ On Tuesday last, a passenger named
waiter Ruby got caught in one of these
v °J?i n - e8 water > being finable to
resist its fury, or catch hold of anything
to steady himself, was swept overboard.
Notwithstanding the storm the steamer
was delayed some time to attempt to
rescue the man, bnt he never came to
the surface. The last seen of him was
when he was washed overboard, entirely
helpless, and trying to gasp ofit some
thing he was unable to utter. The ac
cident caused much gloom among the
passengers, and they were extremely
careful about going on the deck.
Heavy Northwest Galea.
London, Nov. IA—The Arizona from
New York for Liverpool has arrived at
Queenstown. She reports that she ex
perienced a northwest gale. Her decks
were submerged by the heavy seas that
boarded her, and, as a matter of precau
tion, her passengers were kept below.
Her scullery boy was swept overboard
and drowned.
The Servia, at Liverpool from New
York, reports that Bne experienced
northwest gales throughout the voyage.
Fearful on the Btack Sea.
Odessa, Nov. 10.—Furious storms
have been raging daring the past week
over the Black sea. Eight vessels have
