SENATOR WALSH.
The nomination of Hon. Patrick
Walsh, of Augusta, to be Senator of
the United States for the unezpired
term of the late Alfred H. Colquitt, ie ;
fl Hits credit upon Gov. Northen, who
made the appointment and upon the
state of Georgia. Patiick Walsh needs
no enlogium at our hands, his oeople
know him and appreciate him for his
worth. He is an unflinching dtmicrat
and a gallant defender of the principles
of his party. He will well and worth
ily wear the mantle of the lamented
dead and will reflect credit upon his
state and people. Success to Senator
Walsh!
REED'S TACriCS.
It appears to be the idea of ex
Speaker Reed aad his followers to
stop at nothing in order to demon
strate that his code of roles are es*
sential to the government of the
House (f Representatives. In order
to show this he is resorting to every
kind of obstructive tactics, even to
the extent of compelling the speaker
to resort to force in order to seenre
compliance with his rulings. Mr
Reed is going altogether too far to
point a moral. He is neither edify ■
ing nor instructive in hie present
role of an obstructionist.—Boston

universal satisfaction
The people of Georgia view the
appointment of Hon. Patrick Walsh
asSeatcr with universal satis'sc-
tion. Gov. Northen eould no*' Lave
made ai t ppointment more in accord
with the wishes of the people, nor
could be have appointed a man more
thoroughly consistent or abler demo
crat than Mr. Walsh. Honest and
upright in all the trantactions ot
lily, a fearless champion of the rights
of bis people, a democrat of unques
tioned principles, a man of unblem
ished character, such is the junior
Senator from Georgia,. Hon. Patrick
Walsh, of Richmond. No one doubts
but that Senator Walsh will make a
record in the Senate, of which be aa
well as his State may be proud.
NOT A MEMBER-
Mr. W. C. P. Breckinridge, it is
asserted in current newspaper re
ports, is neither an elder nor a mem
ber of the Presbyterian Church. All
will sincerely trust that this is so;
He has been eo conspicuously iden
tified with the church, he has figured
so prominently in its general asseuw
blies and reunions and he has been
at such pains to identify himself with
it and the church has been so ready
to have it, so that, whether he is a
member or not, harm must come
fiom this man’s sad fall. For the
serious peril which today threatens
practical Christianity does not
spring from unbelief but from a fails
ure to enforce high moral standards.
The early church won its way be
cause its members, witlji all their
taults, were immeasurably superior
to the moral life about them. The
real enemies of the Christian Church
today are not those who attack its
creed from without but those within
its walls who bring discredit on
its moral standards.—Philadelphia

ONE CRUSADE IS ENDED-
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster has led h« r
' industrial army” of iw . ity- fi
fidory girls from New England to
Washington, has assaulted beta: iff
reform bill and withdrawn her forces.
The prospects of tariff reform have
not been injured. The capital is
now ready to receive Coxey.
Mrs. Foster is one of those queer
creatures, a professional woman pol
itician. She is a stump speaker, and
organizer of clubs and an inventor
and promoter of politieal novelties.
It appears that she is a worker, in a
most energetic sense, and really earns
her hire. Bat she does not get the
pay every time. It will be remem
bered that she bad several times to
dun the republican campaign corns
mittee that employed her in Harri
rison’s interest two years ag >, and,
failing even then to get her money,
she brought a suit at law to recover
the amount due her.
There was some very sharp things
said by both Mrs. Foster and her
employers about each other at that
time, but it seems a rapprochement
has been effected and the lady is
again engaged in playing political
tiddle-de-winks. Her petticoat era-
sade against the Senate tariff com.

nified characterization. Sb.e drilled
a lot of pretty factory girls into mak

THE SOUTH CAROLINA WAR.
No one can doubt that the condi
tion of affairs in South Carolina is a
very serious one. Civil war is im
minent, and life and proporty is in
danger. It arises over the dispens
ary law and the searobing of private
homes by the state constabulary in
their hunt for contraband liquor.
There is grave error on both sides ot
the controversy and if a more com
promising spirit were abroad in
South Carolina the deplorable oc
currences r f the past few days might
have been avered. The dispensary
law is the law of South Carolina. It
was enacted by the legislature of
that state. Good or .bad, it is the
law and until it is either repealed or
declared unconstitutional it is the
dnty of Governor Tillman to see that
it is enforced. It is made the dnty
of the police authorities of the dif
ferent cities and towns where dis
pensaries are located to keep a watch
on all who deal in contraband liqnor
in violation of law, and if they do not
do their duty the governor is au
thorized to appoint constables in
those places. They sie armed with
the same power as other officers of
the law and can with a warrant
legally enter a man’s home in search
for contraband liqnor. This much
on, Got. Tillman’s side of the affair,
and it is to be deplored that those
who oppose the dispensary law are
inclined to violate it rather than
work in a legal manner for its repeal.
On the other hand Gov. Tillman
has not been very judieioua m the
selection of men as constables. To
pat jn such an office men who them
selves drink and men who can so far
forget themselves as to slap awoman
is an insult to the state To raid a
man’s home upon the slightest
pretext is something that honest,
upright men will not stand. A man's
home is his castle, and he very prop •
erly defends it from being ransacked
by a crowd of constables upon the
slightest pretext that he has been
conceaUng liqnor there. Then, too,
the game is not worth the candle
The seizure of a few gallons of con
traband‘liquor at a man’s home is
not enough to compensate for loss of
life and property such as has ensued
upon this tronblein the Palmetto
State.
Some classes or people in South
Carolina make a grave mistake in
trying to ran rough-shod over the
law and Gov. Tillman makes a grave
mistake in trying to run rough
shod over the people. Both sides
are to blarney and in the spirit of
compromise the one side should agree
to abide by the law as it is until it
is repealed, and Got. Tillman should
call in ~his constables so far as
searching private homes is con
cerned.
merchants, and even if the price
comes higher we would rather buy at
home. The man who boys at home
keeps the money there apd helps
build up his ci ty. The success of
every merchant is his success acd
when he pulls down the business of
the merchants he pnlls down the
temple upon his own bead.
HE IS NOT AFRAID.
The report sent oat that 6ot. Till'
man's life was in danger and that
a- me men.were ready to kill him on
a moment’s notice do not seem to
have disturbed his equilibria
much. Right or wrong as the case
may Ik, Gov. TiUman is not in
scared state of mind jnst cow. In
an address made to the people at the
executive mansion in Colombia,
among other things he said:
S. C., has been sent abroad all over
this state and the United States that
my life is daily threatened; that such
and such men are offering to go to
Columbia to kill me. One prominent
citizen has had the temerity, or
rather the folly, to tell Mr. Yeldell
of my own connty, that be came to
Colombia with a shotgun Friday to
kill Gov Til'mtn. I will not give
him time. Threatened men live
longest. A barkiog dog does not al
ways bite. There never has 'been one
moment when I iiare felt the least
uneasiness for my personal safety,
My life is not worth much to me
but is worth as much as any other
man’s, and rather j than desert my
post to my enemies by leaving the
executive mansion where yon have
placed me, I would have gone out of
it a corpse.”

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
with T-ocal Applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or oonstitutionaldisease
and in order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and aots directly
on the blood and muoous surfaces.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It waB prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for

AN UNJUST ATTACK.
The attack of the Macon Telegraph
upon the political record of Senator
Walsh was an unjust one. Senator
Walsh was at one time rather on the
protection line in some respects bht
that is all in the past. We heard
him say in a speech about two years
since that he was thoroughly in
sympathy with tariff reform and
that no one wtuld go farther than he
to carry out the pledges of his party
in that direction. He has from hon
est conviction taken np tho fight of
tariff reform and that principle hss
no mors fearless chtmpion' in Geor
gia than he. If there is one thing
that characterizes Senator Walsh
above other things it is his sterling
honesty, mnd when he says he is for
tariff reform he means it. That ought
to settle this cry abont his political
record.
THE HOUSE DECLINED.
The Democratic members of the
House outside of the Georgia delega
tion were strongly opposed to the
Speaker’s retirement. They believe
his resignation at this time would
precipitate a contest for the Speak
ership that would be undesirable, in
view of the party differences on the
silver and other questions. One of
the Representatives who ielt thus
Mr. Talbott, of Maryland, prepared
this resolution:
Resolved, That the appointment of
the Hon. Charles F. Crisp to the
United States Senate to fill the nn-
expired term caused by the death of
the Hon. Alfred Holt Colquitt is

In the new City Directory, just is
sued, we find the following paragraph:
“The Athena Steam Company, later
known as the Athens F mudry, after
many discourage mints, nad gotten well
upon its feet when it was destroyed by
fire in 1853. This brought the fire en
gine subject to a foous, and the ‘Inde
pei denoV a second-hand machine, was
b jught in Augusta, whioh served for
many years under the name ‘Relief,’
and was itself burned forty years later,
while quietly reposing in a wooden
shed. ‘Pioneer Hook and Ladder’ and
Hope No. 1’ fire engine had their orl-
>in in the fifties, and rose to fame nn-
er their Captains, Henry Beusse and
.1 L. Mo«s. When ‘Hope’ waa brought
out in 1857,‘A Citizen’opposed its in
trodaction, on the ground that some
body would set fire to a house lust to
see it work. Bure enough, soon after,
Dr. Carlton’s stable was burned at mid
day—nobody knew how—while the
oompany was out on parade.”
We be ieve the compiler of the 1)1

the < xcellent little work of the late
Dr. Henry Hull. Dr Hall’s work was
very valu&bla, and was, no doubt, ir>

Instead of the fire at the foundry be
ing the oooasion of the bringing an en
gine to the town, it was a buildiug be
longing to Mr. A L Witherspoon,
standing on the site of Dr. Lyndon’.-
planing mill. It was in the year 1857 .
Mr. Witherspoon had rather extensive
wood woi ks at that point, and one af
ternoon the building caught fire. Be
ing a wooden structure and there being
a great deal of lumber stored within,.it
produced a very dangerous fire. Capt.
R. Nickerson was a gallant worker at
the fire and remained on the building
fighting the flames until he almost
fainted from fatigue and the heat. A
buoket brigade was formed and from
Witherspoon’s springs and from the
neighboring wells the adjoining build
ings were saved. Captain Nickerson was
taken home helpless, and a great deal
was due to his Bplendid heroism and
bard work. He was confined to his
home for some time, and while thus
kept at home a movement was inaugu
rated to give him a testimonial for gal
lant conduot. This step was taken in
band by Mr. F. W. Lucas, and a hand
some silver service, with suitable in
scriptions, was presented to him.
Soon after, a notice appeared in the
Southern Watchman oalling for a town
meeting to discuss the question of or
ganizing a fire department. Notwith
standing the published oall, so little
interest was taken in the matter that
when the evening came for the meeting
the Town Hall was not open and no ar-
rangementahad been made for lighting
it. One of the parties interested climb
ed into the ball by a window and open
ed the doors. He afterwards went
down town and purchased enough cau
dles to light up the hall.
One of the most prominent citizens
taking an active part In this movement
was Mr. Albon Chase.
In that meeting it was agreed to pur
chase an engine, and an order was
made to the Button company in New
York, ordering ont an engine for the
first oompany ever organized in the
oity, which was known as “Athens
Fire Company No. 1.” The oompany
waa organized under the abave name
soon after, and the engine had the mot
to, “Hope,” painted on the side. Soon
after it was ascertained that an engine
conld be pnrehased from the Augusta
fire department on favorable terms
The committee appointed at the above
named pnblie meeting oonoluded to
purchase this engine and did so. It
was known as the “Independent” in
Augusta.
When the engine arrived, a number
of men brought it from the depot and
took charge of it. That very night the
Athens factory was burned, and this
little engine was quite useful in saving
some of the buildings adjoining the
factory.
Athens Fire Company No. 1 waa now
organized with Captain R. Nickerson
sb captain, and temporarily took charge
of this engine and used it until the one
ordered from New York reached thb
town. After the new engine reached
Athens, the town authorities were re
quested to pay a balance due on the
Augusta engine, whioh was done after
considerable delay. ' Mr. Albon Chase
was then running the paper mill, and
as he was a liberal contributor to the
fund to secure the machine, be proffer
ed, in case the town did not wish to
purchase the engine to buy it himself
and take it out to the paper mill. We
are not sure about the amount, but do
not think the town authorities ever
paid over $100.00 for this machine, the
citizens paying the balance.
Athens Fire Company No. 1 was a
Bplendid organization, and was under
the command of Capt. Nickerson for
many years. Some of the most promi
nent citizens of Athens wire at differ
ent times members of this company-
such men as a. K. Childs, W. S. Grady,
Robert Hodgeon, E P. Bishrp, R. L.
Moss, R. L. Bloomfield and scores of
others whose names we cannot now re
call.

TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD
Captain Carlton WlU Maks the Ora
tion of the Day.
On the 26th of this month, in Oak
land cemetery in Atlanta, a m-moment
of Georgia marble that will tell poster
ity of the devotion of the unknown
dead will be unveiled.
It will be au occasion of biatorie in
terest, and one that will mark tae da\
in the memory of all wbo witness the
mpresaive ceremony.
Athens has the honor of farnishi . g
the orator of the occasion in tne person
of Hon. H. H. Carlton, who is an ora
tor of rare ability and a veteran of il
lustrious record.
The Atlanta Constitution iu speaking
of him says:
“In words of burning eloquence and
tender eulrsgy, he will speak of the he
reiam of his brave comrades; especial
ly of those who fell unheralded upon
the field of battle and who sleep today
in graves that breathe no whisper of
their martyrdom. In Oakland ceme
tery there are many of these graves;
and the speaker will not lack for inspi-
ration as he stands with his head un
covered in the presence of these vie
time of an ill-starred chivalry.
‘ “In the person of Dr. Carlton about
whoae figure many recollections of the
war are gathered, the occasion will
find its proper orator. Hia eloquence
will be reinforoed by bis superb and
Soldier-like presence, and his words
Will acquire all the more of fer
▼id beauty because of the spirit which
gives them utterance—a spirit that
never faltered in the hour of battle, and
which, distributed among his soldiers
became, on many a field, the pledge of
victory.
“The conjunction of sooh an orator
and auoh a theme will prodaoe a speeoh
that will no doubt be long remembered
“To the Ladies'. Memorial Asm ela
tion of this oity, will belong the credit
of the unveiling.
“The monument will be one of the
most picturesque and beautiful pieces
of art ever unveiled on Georgia soil.”

A COMMON OCCURRENCE.
It is not- nnusual for oolds contracted
in the fall months to hang on all winter
or as soon as a person is ov» r one cold

colds is what oauses chronic catarrh
and bronchitis. One or the other of

much importance that colds contracted
