Oue of the funniest and most ridicu-
lous things we have seen in print in
many a day was an editorial lrom the
pen of Hon. Jas. H. Felker in the Wal

part of it was the Colonel’s advocacy of
white supremacy in party action for the
tuture and the ridiculous part of it was
his presumption to say that the popu
lists would never run another ticket in
Georgia nor Walton county. Wonder
if the fellow really does think we are
a set of gourd heads. We hope the
Colonel feels batter since he got rid of
that big word of information about the

Mr. S. W. Baird was born May 18,
and died February 4, 1899, aged
78 years, 8 months, and 16 days. He
joined the church in 1838, and iived a
constat t Christian from that time till
his death. He was a tender husband,
an affectionate father, and a dovoted
canstian, and. come what may, he al
ways atteuded to his Christian duties.
When he was absent from clinch on
meeting day, th> enquiry was, ’’what’s
the matter with Uucle Sarny”? In his
death, we feel that we have lost a good
citizen, a flieud, and a brother! bur, we
would not call him back if we could,
tor lie lived out his alloted time, braved
the horrible monster, death, crossed
over the dark river, and is now basking
in the sunny smiles of him who died to
redeem us.
He leaves an aged wife, six children,
and a host of friends to mourn his loss!
bur we trust that our loss is his eternal
gain. We extend our heart tele sympa
thies to all the berieved for we realize
that the bitterest pangs by mortals
:elt Are those of giving up a friend.

have a speed of 18 knots with a length
ou load water line of 388 feet and abeam
of 72 feet 2% inches; she will have a
normal displacement of 12,500 tons and
a draught of 23 feet 6 inches. Her
buukers will be large enough to carry
2, 000 tons of coal aud her complement
of officers, seamen and marines will be
about 600 men.
The Maine’s armament will consist of
four J 2 inch breech loading rifles, 16
S-iuch rapid fire rifles, 20 6-pounder and
four 3-pounder guns aud a few smaller
pieces. The 12-inch guns will be of 40
