tial Recognition.
The appointment of Alfred Aker
maii, a Georgian, as forester of
Massachusetts, is very gratifying
to his many friends, says a Macon
dispatch to the Atlanta Journal.
He was named by Governor Bates,
of Massachusetts, and will have
his headquarters in the state house.
Mr. Akerman was born in Cart
ersville, Ga., July 3, 1876. He
was graduated from the University
of Georgia in 1898, attaining spe
cial mention in the literary depart
ment. He afterwards took a course
in forestry in*the Berlin University
in Berlin, Germany, for a year and
a "half. He entered Yale and took
a two years’ instruction in forestry,
and was afterwards appointed an
instructor in forestry in Yale. He
has doue some work for the gov
ernment, having charge of buying
the exhibits for United States at
the Pan-American Exposition in
Buffalo.
He is a brother of Assistant
United S ates District Solicitor
Alexander Akerman, of the south
ern district of Georgia, and of
Charles Akerman, a prominent
attorney of this city.

FARED I'll K BEST.
1 he Race Pritltlt-tn a( the teaferterale Reun
ion at Nashville.
About noon Tuesday, while the
veterans were being fed, a scene
was enacted that illustrates better
than anything else could the fact
that the veterans have gathered
in reunion without reserve.
With the inpouring throng cotni s
two old darkies, clad in gray uni
form and wearing Confederate
bages. They were both old men,
and assisted their feeble steps with
sticks. As thev came down the
long aisles they looked searchingly
about and fitiail. halted at the end,
apparently having failed to find
what they sought.
There were several vacant places,
and on? of them touched an old
veteran on the arm and said, “F
- me, mister, but is they a place
here fot colored men?”
The old soldier turned around,
saw the dark faces looking at him,
ran his eye quickly over the gray
uniforms, and blurted out:
’ No, siree, thev aint, but if you
all ai.it good enough to eat with
while folks I aint going to eat no
mob myself. You all eat right
here by me, an’ if any white man
makes a fuss I’ll take care of him.”
A dozen old “rebs” attracted by
the talk turned around and joined
with the first white veteran. The
old daikies vveie made to eat
while their white friends busied
themselves by shouting to the wait
ers such commands as:
‘ Ob, you waiter! Give these
men all they can eat!" “Where’s
that coffee boy at? Here, give
these darkies some coffee, and get
’em some buttermilk.” “Give
them darkies plenty to eat, boys,
and if there aint enough to go
round leave me out ’stead of
them.”
It was a little thing, yet it was
touching beyond expression. The
old negroes showed their apprecia
tion, and the older one, George
Pratt, said:
“I was with the Twenty-fo’th
Alabama, and my marster was my
captain. We fought through tnos’
of the war, and when he was dead
I wouldn't b’lieve it, an’ I called
at hint four or five times ad shook
him. but he was stao’ dead. I kept
right on with the war, and I tell
you all I'm a heap prouder that I
was a Federate soldier than I am
bout anything else I ever did in
my life. I knowed what the war
was about because my marster told
me, and I didn’t have to go. My
folks and my people was on one
side an the Yankees was on t’ud
der, and I jest took up with my
own people.
“The white men in my place all
treat me well, and when the ’Fed
erate veterans has any doin's they
get nte in them. I’m cnly a nigget,
but thev tells me I aint a nigger
when reunion times and decora
tions come around. I'm a Feder
ate veteran then, an , gentlemen.
I’m proud of it ”
The other old darky, George
Boynton, came all the way from
Dallas, Tex. He served in a Dal
ton. Ga., company, and a few
years ago removed to the Lone
Star Stae. Like Pratt, he glories
in the cause for which he fought,
and the tears stood in his eyes at
the treatment accorded him.
“We didn’t allow to eat with
vou all,” he said. * but we thought
’at maybe you all would have a
place for 11s or let us eat off to one
side. I sure am proud at you all
lettin’ uc eat here; we’re all soldiers
together right now. Many a time
I foraged for my master, and they
alius had plenty to eat. Didn't
ask no questions, neither," and he
went off into a roar of laughter
at this reminiscence.—Nashville

Huiuisome Souvenir.
Some citizens of Cartersville
have presented Solicitor-General
Sam P. Maddox with three links
of the chain which was used in
chaining the negro who was
lynched near Cartersville July Ist,
and a limb off the tree to which he
was chained. The souvenirs are
nicely done up and tied with pink
ribbon. The links are placed in
the same position as the Odd Fel
lows emblem, though the three
letters, F. L. TANARUS., (“Friendship,
Love aud Truth") were omitted.
Possibly it was an oversight. Judge
Maddox is very proud of the
souvenir, and is keeping it carefully
preserved. —Dalton Citizen.

HON. CLARK HOWELL
Re-elected National Dem
ocratic Committeeman.
SERVES SIXTEEN YEARS
That is What This Term Added to
Previous Terms Am
ounts to
The unanimous re-election of
Hon. Clark Howell as G.org a’s
member of the national democratic
executive committee gives him the
unique distinction of being one of
the youngest members of the en
tire comm ttee and at the same
time the oldest member of the com
mittee in point of continuous
service.
Mr. Howell has a'readv served
twelve years on the national com
mittee and the Georgia delegation
to the St. Louis convention has
just elected him for four more
years, so that at the end of the
new term to which he has just
been elected he will have servtd
continuously on the committee for
sixteen years—a period of ser'y
service longer than that of any
other member of the committee.
Mr. Howell was first elected to
the national committee in the mem
orable campaign of 1892, when
the Georgia democracy had a bat
tle royal as to whether or not Hill
or Cleveland should get the state s
vote in the national convention of
that year. After a bitter contest
Cleveland carried the state conven
tion by a narrow margin, the con
vention instructing the state’s deF
egation for him. Mr. Howell had
opposed Cleveland and supported
Hill, and naturally some of the
Cleveland leaders in * the state, in
the flush of victory, wished to
have one of their own numbet on
the national committee. An inter
esting contest followed, resulting
in Mr. Howell’s overwhelming
election as Georgia’s member of
the committee, which position he
has held ever sim.e f , v
Mr. HowtL’s re election this
week is the end of a very interest
ing contest, of which but little has
been said for the past month be
cause the fight practically ended
iu his favor shortly after it was
begun. It was sharp ajtd quick,
and at one time or another the
names of a half dozen prominent
Georgians were mentioned for the
position, hut the opposition failed
to make a stand, a"d Mr. Howell
goes back on the committee with
the unanimous vote of the state’s
delegation.
Clark Howell is now serving his
fifth year as president of the Geor
gia senate, after having also served
fourteen years ago as speaker of
the house of representaives
—the youngest speaker Geor
gia ever had. He is the only
member of the present senate w!-;o
was also a member of the last body,
the tbirtv-fifth senatorial district
having yielded the rotation system
in his behalf in order that he
might twice represent the district,
and might thus be re-elected to
the presidency’ of the senate, to
which position he was elected five
years ago without opposition.

Safeguard the Children.
Notwithstanding all that is done
by hoards of health and charitably
inclined persons, the death rate
among small children is very high
during the hot weather of the sum
mer months in the large cities. There
is not probably one ease of bowel
complaint in a hundred, however,
that could not be cuied by ti e timely
use of Chamberlain’s C'o'ic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. Mr. Frank
Riggs, of Fianklinville, N. Y., iu
speaking of this remedy, said: “I
have found it expedient to have a
supply of Chamberlain's Colic, Choi
era and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand.
It has been a family safeguard, and,
while especially beneficial tochildren,
it is equally good in adult cases. I
recommend it cheerfully and without
reservation. For sale by Greene
