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. i 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.” When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the most perfect remedies only when needed.

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.

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. O -A.

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.

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!” Excellent Combination.
