A Unique Announcement.
The following form of announce¬
ment, clippedjfroin the columns
of the Macon Telegraph, does not
seem to be in much favor among
political aspirants. In fact we be¬
lieve it will make the average pol¬
itician have fortv kinds of fits in
a less number of seconds just to
rend it:
"1 am a candidate for represen¬
tative from Teifuir county in tl.e
next, general assembly, subject to
white primary, /am opposed to
1 lie election of judges mid solicit¬
ors or the superior courts by pop¬
ular vote; opposed to the feo sys¬
tem for court officers; opposed to
popular election of county school
commissioners, and to the enact¬
ment of any locol bill which gives
one community or class harmful
advantages over any other. Will
vote for what I consider the pub¬
lic good regardless of public sen-
teinent on the matter, Respect-
fully. U. It. Wright.”
Confederate Graves.
Wo do not know what motive
inspired Senator Foraker of Ohio
to introduce a bill in eongre*s ap¬
propriating $200,000 for the work
of milking the graves of Cenfed-
erate soldiers and sailors who died
in federal prisons and military
hospitals in the north. It was no
doubt a friendly motive, but, as to
that wo have no question. We arc
with him in tliu act, und liav«
neither the desire nor intent tog"
behind it seeking tho motive. The
bill, wo understand, is about to
pass the house of representatives,
having already passed the senate,
for which Senulor Foraker is due
tlie thanks of every person in this
section.
There -aro 130 152 confederate
graves to be marked under the
terms of the Foraker bill. Of this
number, 455 nive the graves of of¬
ficers; 28,490 o; enlisted men;
720 unknown, and 481 citizens.
These graves are in 89 different
1 realities.
It is believed $200,000 is oirple
t> carry our this work uud the
United States government ought
to give it willingly, since tho peo¬
ple whoso loved ones fill these
graves pay taxes from which they
get back slight returns in compar¬
ison with returns given to people
of other sections. The people who
a s most interested in the.se graves
do not complain w hen their money
goes to pension living soldiers of
the union army or the widow s and
children of dear! soldiers of that
army, so there should be in all
fairness and justice no complaint
ftom that other side when a small
sum is asked with which to murk
tho resting places of the dead
from the confederate army.
It is perhaps more appropiiate
that the request should come from
one belonging to the other side.
Senator Foraker lias our full
measure of appreciation for hisef-
forts to provide from tlie treasury
tho money for this work.—Allan-
ta Journal.
County Executive Com¬
mittees.
E. T. Brown, chairmen of
stato Democratic executive com-
nnttee, has made the following
request to the chairman or score-
tftries of the county
in the state:
“As a nu uber of the counties
have recently elected new county
executive committees, the jliuir-
men or se-rotaries will confer a
favor upon the stale executive
committee by forwarding at once
a complete list of their new
inittoes with postoffies- address uf
each member to the secretary ot
the state committee, Hon. J. W.
Goldsmith, Atlanta, Ga.
As a liurpb tr of these commit*
tees have just recently been form-j
«d, Mr. Brown adopted this |
method as the surest one of got- j
ging avoiding a complete all confusion, list of Hieiu und j

Jy supported him with enthusiasm

shows every disposition to rule or
He surely does not believe
for a moment tli at such a plat-
form would stand even ns much
chnnce for success ns it did when
ho went down with it in over-
whelming defeat. It is hard to
understuitd tlie persistency of the
man. Jf Bryan and Bryutiism
are to cut any figure in the cam-
puiSn the Democratic parly had
just as well look for disastrous
returns. We do not believe that
tho party will seriously consider
such a course simply to satisfy
the ambition or resentment, which
ever it may be, of a man who lias
already twice carried it down to
defeat and threatened to wreck
the orgnni*nfinn.”

what can be accomplished by the

earthed n papyrus giving n receipt

for no less a personage than King
Chetn, who reigned about 4,000 B

the king’s mother. It consist-d of
a salve of dogs’ paws, dates and
asses’hoofs pounded together and
then boiled in oil. With this the
royal head was anointed, As to
the result tho papyrus is regreta-

The Into speech of \Y r . J. Bryan,
in the city of Lincoln, Nebraska,
in which lie outlined his position

one of the lending issues, lias at-

leaders of the party in congress,
A careful poll of the democrats
in congress fails to reveal any con-
sidernble number of them who
agree with Mr. Brynn, Wore than
nine-tenths of them aro opposed
to making tho money issue prom-

They say that the money issue
for tho present is a closed isstip.

THE _...i TIM i M
Recently tlicro died lu Indiu a Hin-
doo who wus known as the Tiger Man.
Ho wan a ltlgli caste native, given to
books, ant f mucli of Ills philosophy
,lus quo,wJ 1,1 Euro < K ' un countries.
l lie lived io the ruins of an old temple
j j on the outskirts of u dense Jungle,
atid there lie made and maintained
his fame as a tamer of wild beasts,
! particularly tiger*. He did not ac-tu-
| j ally tame them, but the influence he
exercised over them was no less than
wonderful. Even with a thousand wit-
nesses to corroborate facts one finds
It hard to believe lu gome of hi* do-
, lugs.
| Had lie been so minded lie could
have cleared the whole province of
tigers In two or three years and cu-
riclied ldiuscif witli the bounty offered
i for their heads and tlie heads of other
. dangerous beasts and deadly serpents,
bllt lic , )osltivHy P0fui)0(1 to brln „ llanu
to n single denizen of the Jungle. He
would throw no obstacle lu tlie way of
huuters, and lie expressed no sorrow
' when hu looked upon tiger slain by
a
j others, but lie had laid down a rule,
I nut nothing would induce him to
! fwerve from It. It often happened
that natives who bad lost relatives or
oxen by tlie hunger of the 1 king of the
Jungle canto to him and prayed for
vengeance, but ill every instance his
reply was:
“I tuu sorry for you, but tigers must
have fond as well as men. I will not
help you to kill one, but 1 will talk
to the beasts and ask them to he more
careful hereafter. 1 am sure they will
do tills for uie.”
As soon as the Tiger Man's reputa¬
tion began to spread there were
many who desired to put him to the
test, and during the long yenrs of his
life it was seldom that be refused. A
hundred times over be has gone out
Into the Jungle alone at night uud call¬
ed a tiger to him and led the beast to
the ruins for all to see. Sometimes tho
tiger would crouch and creep and
whine, and again lie would be fiercely
defiant and menace the spectators.
If the report came that a tiger In a
certain district lind killed n human be¬
ing, tlie man would set off for tlie placo
without asking for fee or reward, lie
would learn all he could about tho
beast and* then enter the Jungle to
search him out. Sometimes ho would
bo seeking for several days, and when
night overtook him he made his cutup
among the beasts and serpents of the
thickets. When the tiger bad been
found, which was nenrly always the
case If be bad not left for another lo¬
cality, he would be taken by the ear to
the village In which he had seized his
victim and then he made to roll in tho
dust by way of apology for his mis¬
deed. He would thou bo told that ho
must go at least fifty miles away and
live o:i the game of tlie jungle for the
next mouth, and It has been proved
over and over again that the tiger nev¬
er failed to disappear.
It was with the knowledge and ac¬
tive participation of a governor of In¬
dia and not more than fifteen years ago
that the Tiger Man was put to tho
hardest test of his life. He claimed Im¬
munity from every species of wild
tieasf and serpent, and he was sent In-
to a jungle in which three full grown
tigers lmd taken refuge from some
sportsmen, one of whom was the gov¬
ernor. The hunt had ended at dusk,
and the Tiger Man would have dark¬
ness against him it« ho pushed Ills way
through the jungle. Tho locality was
known to be Infested with cobras, and
just ns the hunt was called off one of
tlie party er.ugbt sight of n "rogue”
elephant s ten Hug through the thicket.
No money would have bind a whito
man to penetrate Into the Jungle nt
night, and u native would have lain
down In his tracks and refused to stir,
no matter what punishment threaten-
nl.
There were more than forty people
left liehiml ns the Tiger Man set forth
upon hi.s errand. He bowed before the
governor and sukl he would bring In
nt least one of the tigers—one which
had tieen slightly wounded by n bullet,
lie was heard whistling and chanting
«s lie penetrated the thickets, und he
was absent about three hour*. When
lie returned there were both commotion
and consternation. He was leading
the wounded tiger by the ear and was
followed by the two others, and after
the tiger came the elephant. There was
yet more. Around the man's left arm
was twined n huge cobra with glitter¬
ing eyes, and neross his ueck and
shoulders wns another.
“Sahib, I bring you these presents
from tlie jnngle,” said the Tiger Mail
a* he halted n few yards away.
But the governor didn't want them.
Wbnt lie wanted was to see them re¬
stored to their native wilds ns fast as
possible, particularly us the elephant
evinced a disposition to eliarga the
crowd. The Tiger Man had tlie ad¬
vantage, and lie kept !t for n long half
hour. lie played with the d*?adly
cobras as If they had been tw:.,* of
willow, and they made not the slight¬
est attempt to bite him. He spoke to
the tigers In a dialect they seemed to
understand, and though they growled
and showed their teeth they did Uls
bidding as he asked them to leap over
each other. The elephant was ordered
to march back and forth and to pick
up things with his trunk, and he was
us obedient ns an ox.
When the crowd of spectators had
is-eii kept on edge for many moments
and everybody feared a tragedy of
some sort and was ready to bout a re¬
treat, the Tiger Man placed the writh-
r.g serpents on the ground and raised
his arm and spoke to the elephant and
* 1 >.“ tiger. The next moment he stood
-done, bowing to the governor, while
his strange pets were In full retreat
to tiie jungle. M. QUAD.
