SWEAT & S*A i’l* I'ul.lisliers, Official Organ of Coffee County FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, ISOG. milt IMM STltlAli ISSUE. On December 18th, next, the Breeze will issue a 12 page industrial issue. It will contain a write up of all the principal enterprises and businesses of Douglas, aud will be embellished with suitable illustrations. It will do cred it to Douglas, give her past history, her present condition, and her future prospects. We shall be careful not to exagerale matters, but all who know of Douglas’ wonderful growth during the past two years, and the bright prospects that stand out ahead of her, will agree that an industrial issue, presenting this matter to the outside world cannot help but accomplish some good for our town. Now, for the business end of th s matter; tin business men and other proporty owners of Douglas are aware that there will be some expense ai tacbed to this project, and all who want to see Douglas grow and pros per, and especially those who expect to be benetltted by the growth of Douglas, h ill be expected to stand an r(|uaJ and proralta share of the ex {tense, not in the of a donation to the editor, but in the way of adver tising. Every business man in Doug las will be expected to insert a good large Advertisement iu this issue. It will be a good investment for them hi - cause enough of these papers will be printed to give every family in Coffee, Ware, Pierce and Appling a copy, be feides a large number will be sent to the ti irlli and west. A representative of the Breeze will call on every business man in Douglas in a few days, and we trust that every man will do his duty and enable us to make a creditable showing for Doug las. It is said that there will be no tarifl legislation at the forthcoming ses sion of congress. AO HUNT 1 KOM POLITICS. From the present outlook it seems (bat political agitation will not only ot cease, but will be kept up briskly for the next four years. Chairman Mark Hanna, of the Re publican national com mil tec, nnnounc d a few days ago that he intended to maintain the organization of bis com mittee for the next four years, and that the committee would act as po litical advisers to the President, all of the while usiug every means in its power to crush out what he terms “the free silver heresy.” Mr. Bryan's “Address to Bi-metal ists, which was published in t! e Breeze a few weeks ago, urges all silver clubs and other Democratic or- to maintain thoir nation aud keep up the tight. The Breeze had hoped that the pub lic issues would be dropped until the next campaign opens up. The flnan ciai policy of this government has been mapped out for four years, and there is no wav of changing it during this time. If the gold standard is not the thing we need we will know it better from expeiience and observation four jours hence than we can leara it from reading or listening to the pratings of political prophets. Now, the Breeze can give Mr. Han na a pointer on “crushing out ; tlie free silver heresy,’” to-wit: give us prosperous times, fair prices for south ern farm products, remunerative em ployment for labor, and plenty of the “circulating medium ’ to transact the business of the country. Cel. Pendleton is capable of holding down the chief place in the editorial' department of the Macon Telegraph. THANKSGIVING DAY. Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day. Did you sow broad fields of smiles in the hearts o r those around you? Did ’n beaming < ountenunce proclaim your thankfulness to God for His goodness jto you? Did you feast on that d:y I and forget to divide with the sick and j suffering, the poor and needy?* It is (our duty to God to minister unto the | wants of such unfortunates, and no ] bet c time can come than Thanks giving. There is always someone, maybe a poor and needy friend, who would appreciate the dainties of a well ! tilled basket; and even though they ' be strangers we should endeavor to make the memory of 7 hanksgivmg an oasis in the desert of their lives. In observing Thanksgiving do some thing to make others thankful. —— # For what did you give thanks on yesteiday ... McKinley and Hanna will spend the winter at Thomasville, Ga. The gobbler got the axe yceteruay where Cinderilla wore her beads.* The Breeze has stuck to Douglas through evil,as well as good report. Col. A. E.

Hanna not will be iu the cabinet. He is debarred by the statute which tvs no business man shall be a mem ber of the cabinet. The Zeiglers have been acquitted of the murder of Sheriff Brooker, over in Screven county. Tom Watson repre sented the Zeiglers. The democratic candidates for Su preme court judges arc: Samuel Lumpkin, W. A. Little, Andrew J. Cobb and W. H. Fish. Valdosta’s Harvest Week was a brilliant success. Douglas .should I shake oil'her lethargy and do some thing to attract attention and draw i trade. Thin, Pale Children One satisfaction in giving Scott's Emulsion to children is they never object to it. The fact is, they soon become fond of it. Another satisfaction is because it will make them plump, and give them growth and prosperity, it should be given to ail children who arc too thin, or too pale, Jt docs not make them over-fat, but plump. It strengthens the digestive organs and the nerves, and fur nishes material for rich blood. Wc have a book telling you more on the subject. Sent fra - for the asking. SCOTT & BOW NS, N.-* York. OWNEY ON HIS TRAVELS. The Famous Albany Fostofßco IJoe and flis Voyage to China. On Aug. 19, 1895, Owney was pho tographed, walked up the gang plank of th# good ship Victoria of th# N. P. S. 8. Cos. and was wel comed by Captain Panton, whose guest ho was to be. Owney liad his credentials in a traveling bag, and be carried also his blanket, brush and comb, his inotal harness for full dress and letters of introduction to the postal authorities of the world. As the steamer backed out from tho dock hundreds of peoplo waved thoir hands and wished Ow ney a safe and prosperous voyage, and so the trip began. Ownoy was soon tho pet of the crew, and after an uneventful voy age ho arrived at Yokohama on Oct. 3. Hero his baggage was examined with no little ouriosity by tho offi cials, as no dignitary had before en tered Japan who owned so many decorations that he was obliged to carry them in a bag. It was concluded that Ownoy must be either a dog of very high rank or tho property of a distinguished per son, and an account of him was promptly forwarded for tho infor mation of his imperial majesty the mikado. A few days later an oflicial waited upon Ownoy and presented him with a passport bearing the seal of tho mikado. It was addressed to tho American dog traveler, and in very flowery language extended to him tlio freedom of the interior country. There wore some stipulations, which in all probability Owney would have agreed to had ho made tho trip. Some wore as follows: “The bearer is expressly cautioned to observe in ovory particular the directions of the Japanese government printed in Japanese characters on tho back of tho passport, an English translation of which is given herewith, and he is oxpeoted and required to conduct himself in an orderly and concilia tory manner toward tho Japanese authorities and people. ” Tho pass port also forbade him to “attend a fire on liorsobaok, ” warned him not to write “on temples, shrines or walls, ” and politely requested him not to “drive too fast on narrow roads. ” There was no timo for sido trips, and, uftor meeting many officials, Ownoy sailed from Yokohama, ar riving at Ivobi on Oct. 9, where ho received medals and anew passport from tho emperor. Ho was at Maji Oct. 19, Shanghai Oct. 26 and Fu chau Oot. 31, where also he rooeived moro medals and was tho subject of * ovation. His fame had procoded htm, and n4 (feu latter port ho re coived an invitation to visit the U. S. S. S. Detroit, which was lying in tho harbor. Or.e day tho marine gangway of this lino man-of-war was astonished to soo a bomedaled, shaggy dog oqjno up the ladder, wag ging bis tail and showing all tho do, light that a patriotic Yankee should at tho sight in foroign lands of tho stars and stripes. Tho marino al most laughed as Owney stepped aboard and ran up to tho officer of the deck as though he had known him all his life. —Charles Frederick Holder in St. Nicholas. A Scholar of the Autiquo Typo. Tlio late Dr. Fisher, tho sonior fel low of Magdalen college, had been a resident at Oxford for nearly 70 years, and ho was ono of tho last Jinks with tho old days of the uni versity. Ho hoapd Kcble preach the famous assize sermon in 1833 oq “National Apostasy,” which was re garded as the start of tho Oxford movement. Dr. Fisher was elected to a Buck inghamshire fellowship of Magdalen in 1838, and he had ever since made that college his homo. Routh had then been president for more than 45 years, mid the discipline of tho col lege had become considerably relax ed under his rule, which lasted for IS years longer, when he died at the ago of 100. The old fellows of Mag dalen wore a jolly, whist playing, guzzling, port wine drinking sot. It Was some years after Dr. Fisher's election that ono of tho fellows died drank in tho night in bis college rooms. Dr. Fisher was a good clasr sical scholar of the old school, hut country pursuits were the delight of liis life, particularly trout fishing, and bo was an excellent shot and a keen naturalist and botanist.—Lon don Truth.
