MAY 11 IH87.1 It is said that there is a man in Sumter county who is over fifty years old who has never received a letter of any kind. _■ Without Cleveland, there will be no democratic success in 1888. The country approves his administration, and Iho country is superior to any party. Perhaps one of the smallest men now living is James Hoag,*of Cedar Spring, Mich. He is 45 inches in height, weighs 7C pounds, and is 72 years old. 'When a Western Congressman was told that liquor could no longer be obtained in Washington on Sunday, lie exclaimed: “Well, then, what’athe use of being a Congressman ?” The Savannah Morning News comes to us this week in a complete new dress, and presents a fresh, beautiful appearance therein. This is one of tho most ably edited papers in the South, and wc wish it a long life, The story goes that a young man in a western town proposed to a young lady in au oastern city by telegraph adding: “Answer yes or no at my ex¬ pense.” She sent him six hundred wotxVs of explanation without coming lo any conclusion. Ever since the strugglo at Thermo¬ pylae, tlicre has been more or less troublo about passes, but it was left to to the interstate commerce law to cause the greatest woe on that line.”— Savannah News. It is now said positively that Presi¬ dent Cleveland has never intimated that ho would not be a candidate tor rc-Hection. The South wants him again, and wo hope lie will not go on a “strike.” The Methodist preachers of Macon have determined to purchase a gospel tent to be used in that district. It win be largo enough t* accommodate2,0(X) people, and will bo used at various points in that section. One of the stations out on the east¬ ern railroad extension from Amcricus has been named DcSoto, from the fact that tradition tells us that the famed explorer of that name camped on Uu identical spot upon which the town is to be located, on his memorable march through Georgia in 1540. “1 believe,” said Mi Lowell recent¬ ly, “if a man should die, a reporter would try to interview him and find out where he wai going.” Mr. Lowell lias learned very little of newspaper men, it' he really believes this. It docs not require an interview to inform a reporter where the average man is go¬ ing when he dies, especially the aver¬ age Boston mail. It was discovered in Indianapolis the other day that a number of boys between the ages of 12 and 20 years were sustaining a regular gambling establishment in that city, with all the accessories of alarm bells, drinks, etc. But Pittsburg conics forward with a revelation in the line of juvenile de¬ pravity which rather beats the record. Seven youths, none of whom appeared to lie over 12 years old, recently hired a room there and were rapidly con¬ verting it into a regular arsenal and cutlery depository when detected.— They were seen to file into their don with suspicious bundles and were fol¬ lowed. Each one w as found armed with one or more revolvers, and in the room was an accumulation of ammu¬ nition and about half a bushel of pock¬ et knives.. The Jonesboro News says: Mr.F. M. Allen, of New York, who has been stoppiug in our city for two months, showed us a postal card on which he had wrltteu two sernidns containing 5,000 words. It is the greatest fsal of which wr have ever heard, and the best on record. The writing w as dime with a No. 1 Spencerian pen. by lamp¬ light, and without the aid of a magui fyiiigglasa.

The southern boom, says the Savan¬ nah News, is viewed differently from different points. The Washington Post says: “ That the Southern boom seems to have come to stay,” and calls attention to the movement to estab¬ lish a large shipyard at Mobile. The Chicago Tribune publishes an article entitled “The Southern Boom Col¬ lapsing.” The article, however, is not itftcnded to be an unfriendly one, al¬ though little appears in that journal which shows a kindly feeling for the South. The southern boom is not collapsing that is, there is no falling off in the energy and enterprise that the South has been displaying within the last year or two, aud no decrease of confidence the South’s future. Capitalists are as satisfied with the progress the South is making as they ever were, /and are as ready to invest their money in her mines, forests and lauds. They understand that her resources are very great, tlie development of which has only begun. Many railroads are be¬ ing built, and iron, cotton and other factories are being erected. It may Ik? true that in some of the towns there is not so much excitement over corner lots as there was a few' months ago, but that is because spec¬ ulation lias carried prices to a point which is unwarranted by anything which appeals to the judgment of gen¬ uine investors, and which makes even reckless speculators hesitate. Tlie ex¬ citement, however, which lias subsid¬ ed to some extent, will spring up again when improvements, which are being made with wonderful rapidity, and which are fully justified bv the re¬ sources of the country, have so far ad¬ vanced as to afford convincing proof that the South has a solid basis for any boom in her behalf, however great it may be. A distinction must be made between the Southern boom and the booms which estate syndicates, interested in this or that town site, may start. Some of the town site booms may flourish for awhile and then disappear, but the Southern boom is bound to have a steady, healthy and permanent growth* HE DIED THE DEATH OF A HERO. N. Y. Times. Brookfield, Mass., May 8.—A brave man lost his life while striving to pre¬ vent a great disaster on the Boston and Albany freight train, climbing the long, steep grade between East Brook¬ field, broke apart near the former sta¬ tion, and fue rear cars started oft’ at a speed that soon became terrific. There to was set no the one brakes. on board The the grade runaway contii cars ued j steadily down hill for than five j more miles to this town, and if the ear* could not be stopped before reaching the station here, they were sure to j crash into an east-bound passenger train, which was almost due. | James Deblois was the conductor of I the broken train. lie signaled his on gincer to reverse aud run back in full speed in pursuit of the runaway cars. The chase was instantly begun, and j of the distance between tho two sections j the train rapidly lessened. The The speed was so great, however, that conductor Deblois dared not ran close enough to couple on to the flying cars, for tho shock would probably have de¬ railed both sections of the train ami resulted in a general wreck. Brakcmen partly controlled the speed of the pursuing cars, when the ru«a~ way section was almost reached, and Conductor Deblois prepared to jump over the space between the two sec¬ tions. lie could then set the brakes on the runaway cars and get them under control while the other section of the train was being slowed down iu the same manner. The two sections had come within a few feet of each other in their mad race, when Deblois de¬ cided to jump. He leaped with all his might across the chasm, but he fell short, and dropped to the track below and was ground to pieces by the flying train. The chase of the fleeting cars was abandoned by tlie horror-stricken* train hands, and the speed of the lo¬ comotive was checked. The runaway cars kept on with still increasing speed toward Brook¬ field. It was chance aud prompt pres¬ ence of mind that averted a great ca~ latnit”. The wild cars had almost reached the East Brookfield station when baggagemaster James Corcoran, standing on the platform happened to catch sight of them. He took in the situation in an instant, and thought of the approaching passenger train, only two ........ miles further c ,, on. He , r was witluu a few feet of a switch leading to an unoccupied siding, lie ran to it, un locked it, and threw the lever just as they .. abreast v x of r him. i • The came cars took tho siding at first, but the speed ? great ... that ... they could ,. not . hold ,, was so to the suddenly deflected rail, and thev plunged , . . iu a . heap down , the ... bank, . and •; into the marsh meadows.

IU.rf.tt's, i Lumber City, Ga. WHAT MB. CLEVELAND SAID. Cincinnati Enquirer. Washington, April 28*—It seems the person who gave the information about a Senator saying that Cleveland would not run again was Mr. Joseph Ricker, of Missouri, generally known in Washington. Said I to Mr. Rickey: “I have heard it said that you gavo the infor¬ mation that Cleveland had said that he should not run again ?” “Yes; and I do not mind telling all about it. Mr. George Vest, in a conversation at Chamberlain's, after a good meal, talked freely about the President, and he was combatting the vie ws of others, who thought Cleve¬ land was pulling wires for a renomi¬ nation. What lie said was, so impor¬ tant that 1 told Richardson and Jim Young, two writers from Baltimore and Philadelphia. I then thought it was the proper thing to give an equal chance to Mr. Knapp, who writes foi one of the St. Louis papers. Mr. K:iapp used the matter; the others waited.” “Now, what was it that Mr. Vest did say ?” “He said that he and Don Cameron had been riding out Tenlcyton road, and had encountered the President going to his red top mansion. A day or two after that Mr. Vest met the President and trad some conversation with him. The conversation happen¬ ed on Wednesday, April 20. Mr. Vest i told the President he was gfad to have seen him on the road, and said: ‘You ought to go out more for your health.’ The President said that he could only afford to go out there two days in the 1 week, though lie would like to go every day. Said he: ‘I have to work at the details of this government in my office, where the papers and infor¬ mation are, and I can not afford to take more than two days.’ Mr. Vest told the President, according to hi* statement, that he mutt keep himself in good trim and be ready tor the be¬ hest of the party, which would surely nominate him this summer a year. The President said, decidedly: ‘No. sir; it I can got through this term of ray office and leave the Democratic party in a better situation than l found it, I w ant them to nominate and elect some good Democrat. I shall not consume my strength and health any further with the place.’ “This was said so emphatically by the President that Mr. Vest was as¬ tonished, and he told the President that ho would have a walkover. The President intimated that he doubted if he could be elected rn view of the hostility throughout his ow n party. But he said that the work was w r eai’¬ ing on his health and patience; that the details of the office requires care ful examinations; that other people said ho could delegate this work, but he did not see hi9 way etarr to do so. j There was no way to understand the government , . but . to . look , . at . it for . one’s , self with one’s ow n spectacles. lie re- i pcated that he wanted to retire; that j the calls upon him, the interruptions lo his daily life, tlie sense of respons ibility he carried, self-consciousness and complaint in tlic partv, all made liim feel that one term of such office was enough fm* any man lo have and live.” It the above is anything like 1 a transcript of what the President said to Mr. Vest, it shows that the Presi¬ dent cannot carry as stout a load of work as his predecessors have done.
