We very much fear that Bryan will never be president. Mark Hanna says it is an insult to Dewev to tender him the presi dency. Old Mark is a fraud; every body knows be is trying to shelter McKinley. The deaf mute school at Little Rock. Ark., was burned last week at a loss of $l5O 000 to the State. The inmates barely escaped with their lives. The New York World gravely remarks that Admiral Dewey may get in the habit of leading parades and lead one into Washington City in 1900. Don’t care if he does. An insurance company that will insure domestic happiness with some young couples that are step ping off now would do a flourish ing business. The political campaign in Ken tucky is becoming so hot now that when a candidate throws a chunk of mud it turns to a brick before it bits bis man. And now anew invention comes to light in which electricity can be stored in capsules. A fellow can •wallow one of these capsules, pull the trigger and blow himself to kingdom glory. •Something over 30.000 Georgian soldiers attended the Dewey parade at New York last week, and have all returned home. Their soldier ly qualities and gentlemanly be havior was much commented upon. Capt. Oberlin M. Carter, who was sentenced to five years in the peuetentiary for embezzlement will still have enough money to Inst him his life-time if ho stole all he is accused of taking. A republican exchange says the people of the United States sympa thise with the Boers in their strug gle for independence. The Pliilli pines are just as much entitled to sympathy as the Boers. France is buying her corn and wheat supply from America, the crop there this year having been a failure. One cargo, consisting of 192.529 bushels was carried over last week. A negro out in South Carolina was accused of arson, last week, and was lynched, his hands and feet being iecurely tied while he was riddled with bullets. A coro ner’s jury brought in a verdict of suicide. Before this reaches the readers eye, war between England and the Boers of South Africa will have begun. It may not end as soon as our recent Spanish war did, but the Africans will he forced to yield in the end. The New York World has found seven people in New York who never heard of Dewey before Fri day and Saturday, when they want ed to know what ‘‘all that noise is about.” They didn’t read the pa pers and were ignorant. Some of the same tribe live in Coffee county. Among the victims of yellow fever at Key West, was Mr. H. Enslow, of Macon. Mr. Enslow was taken sick there, on a visit to a young lady to whom he was to be married in December, but after his illness the young woman has tened the ceremouy that she might be near him, and she nursed hun until his death.

E. J. Hinson, Executrix of James Hinson against John Sapp, Sr. This October the sth 1899. IV. M. Taknbr. j Sheriff Coffee count v The Journal’* Levity. The editor of the Waycross Journal is a little bit supercilious in K his reply to “Our Choice,” which appeard in our columns two weeks ago. Our esteemed contemporary should save his sarcasm ’till the battle is in full tilt. There may come a time when he will need all his light artillery, We are indirectly informed that Judge Dart has announced that he is not at present in the race for so licitor next term, but, as we sug gested in “Our Choice,” the race is a long way off and there are many angles to turn and we do not know what lurks behind the corners in our front. We warn the Journal not to handle Judge Dart too lightly as a possible candidate. The signs of the times are too evident, and the many public and private responses to “Our Choice” from all over the circuit indicate that Mr. Brantley might have left a possible vacancy somewhere at sometime despite the fact that the Jornal has not been able to see it. “They are simply perfect” writes Robt. Moore, of LaFayette, Ind., of DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the “famous little pills” for consti pation and all liver ailments. Nev ergripe. W. W. Terll. Douglas, Ga., and H. Meeks & Cos. Nichols. lUn. Jho W. Benaett The Breeze published an extract last week from a communication of Representative McDonald, which appeared in the Waycross Herald, in regard to the Spottswood spot less” one hundred dollars, that it desires to counteract. The article, if let remain as it stands, is likely to do Mr. Bennett harm, which the Breeze does not intend at pres ent, and for that reason desires to explain that there is nothing in it. It had no connection with Mr. Spottswood’s United States court prosecutions, whatever, but was fired at Mr. Bennett by McDonald in a joke. Mr. Bennett had no connection with the Spottswood of fer for one hundred dollars to con trol the republican or any other vote, nor did he have anything to do with the collection of one hun dred dollars cost in Mr. Spots wood’s court.

Jones, who is fast coming to the front as one of the leading dry goods and clothing men of Southern Georgia, returned from New York last Thursday morning, and informs the Breeze tliut he lias bought such a heavy stock of seasonable goods (struck a wholesale house in trouble) that lie fears that his store will not be large enough to allow him shelf room. In order to sell them he has determined to put a notch just above cost. Watch the Breeze for prices. Sudden Death.
