THE EVENING GALL.
V’ol. X No. 224
THE RIFLES CALLED OUT
Ordered by the Governor to Protect
Kincaid Mil! Property.
An order wsg received übout 6
n clock yesterday afternoon by the
commanding officer of the Griffin
Rifles to take his company ont to the
Kincaid mills and protect the proper
ty from a mob.
This order was issued by Governor
Candler upon the request of the offi
cers of the mills, who stated that a
mob bad threatened to visit Superin
tendent Martin and other bosses at
the mills and severely punish them.
The Rifles marched nut about 8
o’clock last night under command of
Lieut. M. J, Daniel, Jr., and through
cut the long hours of night sentries
paced their bsat around the mill
property.
No disturbance of any kind occurr
ed however, and the company return
ed to their armory this morning at G
o’clock.
It is not known whether the pres
eence of the militia is responsible for
the quietude of the night or not. We
hope the note sent Mr Martin was but
an idle threat, and the “Laborers’ l a
ion League,” as they have termed
themselves, bad no intention of com
mitting another act of violence.
If the league is composed of honest
workmen, banded together for mutual
benefit and protection, and they have
any real or fancied grievance, they
should reßort to other means than
those they have used to get relief.
If they have just cause for com
plaining at their treatment, commit
tees should have been appointed to
confer with the mill owners and en
deavor to settle the matter in an
amicable way.
Then they would have had the sup
port and good will of all our citizens,
but such acts of lawlessness as have
shocked our city for the past few days
can be but condemned by all law abid
ing citizens
They have terrorized the negroes of
this section, dona our city an injury it
cannot overcome in years, and if con
tinued will cause the mills to shut 1
down and throw about 400 operatives 1
out of employment.
We hope there will ba no more acts ,
of violence and if there is any friction <
between the employer and employee it 1
will soon be relieved.

Business Acumen-
As the manager of a large insurance 1
Company salat his desk, the represen
tative of another company walked in, '
says the Chicago Journal. The caller j
was a man to be cultivated, but Mr.
11. could not for the life of him think
of his name, although he had met him
before. But the Chicago man was
one of many resouaces. “I beg your
pardon,” he said to hie caller, after the
first hasty greeting, “but if you will
excuse me for an instant I will send a
message I have just started. It is on a 1
matter of much importance” “Cer- '
tainly,” said the caller. “It’ll take just 1
an instant, said Mr. IL, as he turned
to his desk and wrote hastily on a .
sheet of paper: “What in thunder is
the name of the man I’m talking to?
If you don’t know his name, find out (
and answer at once by boy. II ”
The business man addressed the
message to bis chief clerk in the outer
office and handed it to the office boy
* 1
saying: “Hurry and deliver this note,
Archie; it is important.” Mr. H bus
ipd himself with his papers, and in a
few minutes the boy returned with an ,
answer. Hastily tearing open the en
velope, Mr. H. rend, “Jenkins of the— .
Insurance Company.” Throwing the
note aside, the Ctiicago man turned to
his caller : “Ah, that bit of business is
ofl my mind now. In what way can I
be of service to you, Mr Jenkins? It
is a long time since we have been bon
ored with a call from the Insur-
ance Company.”

A QUEER MIX UP
Two Ohio Brides Swap Lovers Before
Wedding
Toledo, O, May 25—The little
town of Malinta, west of this citv, has
become famous in a day on account
of the unheard-of proceeding of two
brides t xebanging lovers just before
the wedding ceremony.
Frances and Mary Dipcomb, daugh
ters of a well-tc-do farmer, were the
affianced wives of two Fulton county
young men, Davis Rsndice and Frank
Benson. They had determined to
have a double wedding on Thursday
evening, and relatives gathered from
far and near.
The young men, beating their lis
censes, reached the Dipcomb home
shortly after noon, when, to their
astonishment, Mary, the younger girl,
was nowhere to be found. Subsequent
ly her sister found her in her room
weeping and disconsolate. Pressed
for an explanation, she confided to
her sister that she could not marry
Rendice, as she loved Benson better
The elder sister, while amazed, said
that she thought just as much of one
as she did of the other. Mary shyly
hinted at an exchange of lovers. The
sisters discussed the subject seriously,
and called the young men to a confer
ence. As a result a general exchange
was agreed upon and the young men
hastened to the county seat to get
their licenses changed. Meanwhile the
guests were wondering why the men
had left the house. They were amazed
when, after the bridegrooms’ return,
and the local minister called upon the
two couples to stand up for the cere
mony, they observed that a general
shift bad occurred.
The parents of the brides demanded
an explanation before the ceremony
proceeded, after which they expressed
themselves satisfied, and all ended
happily.

The Governor and the Trusts.
Gov. Sayers, of Texas, will call a j
conference of Southern governors and '
attorney generals to consider the ques-1
tion of uniform legislation in opposi- '
lion to trusts. It is hoped that the '
conference may be held. For there
can be only benefit from a discussion
of the question by the chief executives
of the states. But it will require the I
decision of the supreme court of the
United States to determine the power
of New Jersey to invest trusts with the j
right to do business iu other states of!
the Union. As long as that point is
unsettled, the laws of the several states j
against the trusts will come to noth- '
ing. Already Missouri and Texas have
passed laws closing the courts of the
states to the trusts, but New Jersey
continues to charter them.
The issue has become so sharp that
the immediate determination by the
highest judicial authority in the land
is required. As long as this is held in
abeyance, state legislation will find it
difficult to meet the emergency The
trust remedy may lie in an amend
ment to the United States constitution
itself.
However, a conference of the gover
nors will prove effective in compelling
congressional attention to the evil, and
in bringing the people to a realizing
sens® of the danger that environs
them. \\ e should like for the confer
ence to be held in Georgia, which is
the most central of the Southern
States, and Gov. Candler would de
well to extend an invitation to Geor
gia’s capital —Macon News.

The Lake City Postoffice.

e < anth- riiit -io np ( . t mt » | -tma-ii-r ut
I Lake City, S (’ , t-1 ht-r r« mti> L able ?
It seems that Fourth As- i-isnt Post
master General Bristow has been per
mitted to carry out hi- idea of pun
ishing the people of that pho t- for the
assassination of the late i» stmaater
D 1
e there by refusing to reopen the office
Hie people have no mail facilities, and
they are not even permitted to mail
their letters on the mail cars, which
e ,
pass through the town. They are
com; elled to travel three miles to
mail letters and to get their mail
j
matter.
It is about time that this < fficial was
called down. It is reported that he
•aid that he would not appoint a posts
, master for Lake City until some of
those engaged in the assassination ot
the late postmaster were convicted. In
other words, he has taken it into his
own hands to inflict punishmunt for
( the murder of a federal officer of the
town. He doesn’t know that any
citizen of Lake City participated in
the tragedy in which Postmaster Ba-
I ker and his family were the victims’
I And if be does know that some of
j them are guilty of assassinating the
postmaster it is no business of bis to
punish the whole town for the crime
of a few. In fact, it is not hie business
to mete out punishment to anybody.
It is bis business to appoint postmas
ters where there are vacancies in post
offices of the class of the Lake City
office.
It is a pretty state of sflairs when
an underling at Washington can reach
out hie hand to any part of thia great
country and inflict punishment upon
those who do something which does
not meet with bis approval. There
are law officers and courts to punish
people who commit crimes. It would
be well for the Postmaster General and
hta assistants to understand that it is
not their duty to inflict punishment
jon those who violate the lawt-much
less those whom they think are law-j
j less.
And it would be a good thing for
: the postofficedepartment to remember
| that only those who are satisfactory to
j those to be served should be post
: masters. The postoffices are intended
j for the benefit of the people, not to
I help keep a certain set of office holders
iin office. If, instead of sending a
strange negro to Lake City to be post- 1
master, a man acceptable to the people 1
•of that place had been made postmas-
I ter, there would have been no tragedy
I there. Tbe administration is largely
j responsible for that tragedy. We do '
i not undertake to defand the assassins •;'
\ who shot the postmaster to death, but ■:
iwe can see that there was an outrage i
(committed before that tragedy occurr- i
| ed—au outrage on the entire commu- j
■ nity of Lake City—Savannah News. ;
i
Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the i
i taste, acts promptly, and never fails to 1I
I give satisfaction. It carries children over I
tbe critical time of teething, and is the j
friend ot anxious mothers and puny chib '
dren. A few doses will demonstrate its I
■value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga., writes : :

;er used in my family. It does all you
I claim fir it, and even more.'' 1

od for removing any kind of objection- i
cultivation They say that to cultivate | i
velvet beans on the land for one or ; '
two seasons, the land will be left as I
clean as a man’s hand, as nothing can I
survive the dense shade of the bean
vines. Os course, it is necessary to
keep tbe grass down until the beans
, can get a start, but after this the beans
, will ask no plant any odds. Ina fair I
I race it will outgrow anything. It is i
, said that the Johnson grass and not !
grass are two of tbe worst enemies of I
the cultivator, but even these have to
, succumb to the bean Tbe Johnson
j grass has many friends among people !
j who want to raise haj 1 altogether, but;
, those who want to raise other things I
on the laud find it a great nuisance I
The nut grass is said to be good fur
nothing, and if the bean can eradicate
I it, the fact will be gladly noted by
many farmers

The Indian Trader’s Dream
Among the famous Indian traders of
th® past was George Galphin, whc«e
trading station at Silver Bluff, S. C„
was frequented by Indians from far
and near, says the New York Ledger
Monthly. In Bench and Bar of South
Carolina, a characteristic anecdote is
related i»f Mr. Galphin and an Indian j
chief. Chief Mogoloch, from beyond
the Savannah river, spent tbe night at
Mr. Galphin’s. In tbe morning tbe
Indian said, “Me dream last night. ’
“Ab,” said Galphin—“what did my
red brother dream?” “Me dream you
gave me fine big rille’’—in Galphin’s
possession at the time. The trader
instantly passed tbe rifle to the chief,
saying, “If you dreamed it you must
have it.” Next morning Galphin said
to the chief, “I dreamed last night.”
"What you dream?” asked Mogoloch.
“I dreamed you gave me tbe Chicka
saw horse”—which the chief was then
riding. “If you dream um you must
have um,” said tbe chief, and the horse
was straightway transferred to the
trader. The next morning the
Indian remarked, “I dreamed of you
last night.” “What did my red brother
dream?” was the inquiry. “I dream,”
I answered Mogolock, “you gave me red
coat you wear, and much calico.” “If
you dreamed it you must have it,”
said Galphin, and the Indian received
the red coat and calico. Next morn
ing it was Galphin’s turn. He said to
the chief, “I dreamed last night.”
“ What you dream?” was Mogoloch’s
inquiry. “I dreamed,” replied Gal
pbin, “you gave me ten miles of land
around the Ogeecheo old town.” “Uh,”
said the Indian—‘‘if you dream you
must have um ; but I dream with you
no more!”
